DRYDEN FOR
LOCK CANAL.
Made Important Speech in Sen
ate Yesterday Considered An
Able Argument in Favor.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 49,
Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, spoke
yesterday in favor of a lock canal at
Panama. His speech was carefully
prepared, occupied almost the entire
afternoon in delivery and was very
attentively listened to. Senator
Dryden marshalled the arguments in
favor of a lock canal with great skill,
and his speech was regarded as a very
able presentation, making it neces-
sary for Senator Kittredge, the cham
pion Of the sea level canal, to reply
in length. He was warmly congrat-
ulated. 49,
Senator Dryden said, in part:
The Panama canal problem has
reached a stage where a decision
should be had from congress to per-
manently fix the type of the water
way, whether it shall be a sea level or
a lock canal. An overwhelming
amount of expert opinion has been
collected and an International Board
of Consulting Engineers has made a
final report to the president, in which
experts of the highest standing divide
upon the question. The senate com
mittee on Inter-oceanic Canals has

transcendent Importance, involving
the expenditure of an enormous sum
of money and political and CONNER
cial consequences of the greatest
magnitude, not only to the American
people, but to the world at large.
The Panama canal presents at once
the most interesting and stupendous
project of mankind to overcome by
human ingenuity what nature her.
self seems to have attempted, but in
vain"
The Panama Railway marked the
beginning of a new era in the history
of inter-oceanic communication. The
great practical usefulness of the road
soon made the construction of a can
al a commercial necessity. The eyes
of all the world were upon the 18TH
mus, but no nation made the subject
a matter of more profound study and
inquiry than the United States. One
surveying party followed another,
and every promising project received
careful consideration. The conflict

difficulties, the natural obstacles,
and, most of all, the civil wal delay

continued to view the project with
favor and demand an American

the vast crowds presented arms.
This stately procession is but one of the
many festivities which the Spanish people
insist on enjoying whenever monarch
weds, and it is the express desire of King
Alfonso that ali the traditional festivities
be observed at his wedding A state recep-
ton will be held the day following the GER
emony, and in the evening the royal family
will appear at the opera house. Two bull
fights will be given in honor of the king
and queen, who will be present at each.
The theaters will be thrown open, free of
cost, to the public, the municipality of
Madrid footing the bills. The festivities
will end with a state banquet, followed by
a general reception and perhaps a military
display. The latest word from Madrid has
it that the city fountains will run wine on
the marriage day, and that, according to
custom, the city will be profusely decorated
with flowers brought from the southern
provinces.
If the Princess Ena, as Alfonso's bride,
falls to attend the bull fights, because OF
innate British repugnance to such brutal
sport, she will lose all the good will of the
Spanish people that is already hers. The

Not little pretty sentiment is connected
with the wooing and the coming wedding
of Prince Eitel Frederick and the Oldenburg
Duchess Sophie Charlotte The wedding is
to take place on the twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary of kaiser and kaiserin, which
occurs on the 25th of February. At the
especial request of the young people their
engagement was announced at the wedding
of Eitels chum, the Duke of SaXe-Coburg

to each other through a common love of
water sports.
E,itel, acknowledged one of the handsomest
princes in Europe, has secured in the opin-
ion of many the most beautiful of all
Europe's Processes. Many royal women
are described as being beautiful be-
cause of their position. Sophie would be
acclaimed a beauty were she entitled only
to peasants dress. She is tall and slender,
with a somewhat narrow face and a wealth
of blonde hair. The trace of a serious ex-

Before he was killed fighting England's

a strong desire to marry her brilliant son
to the Princess Beatrice, the Princess Enas
mother, who was then unmarried From
that day to this the ex-empress and Bea-
trice nave been close friends, one of the
things showing this to be so being the full
name of Alfonso's future bride-Victoria
Eugene Julie Ena. This young lady has
been favorite of the eX-empress since the
day she was born, and common report has
1t that she will ultimately receive the larger
part of the ex-empress fortune. But she
will scarcely need it, since her fortune in
her own name is about fifty million francs,
making her one of the richest prncesses in
Europe. The eX-empress has always wanted
the young princess to make a brilliant
match she saw the opportunity in Alfonso,
and quietly and with consummate skill set
to work to bring them together. So court
gossip has it.
In this connection 1T is interesting to note
that when Alfonso XII was confronted with
the duty of finding a second wife, that the
throne might be provided with future oc-

a year after marriage, gossip had 1t that

The exercise for strengthening the back
and chest can be accomplished without the
aid of another person. if the patient lies on
the bed and steadies her feet against the
foobboard- This exercise consists in lying

placed on the chest; elbows out. When the
body is raised much possible. the
hands and arms are extended at the sides
and the body slowly lowered. Many women

to begin to correct this ugly line. Get a
pile of heavy books and place them on the
floor. Stand behind them about a foot
away. Place the right foot against the
pile and push over toward the left as far
as possible. Reverse the exercise, and push
with the left foot toward the right. This
exercise will bring into play the muscles of
the calf of the leg, which is developed at
the same time, although stair climbing or
even the motion of mounting imaginary

Women with perfectly nodded arms are

maker tells the writer that only about

nine require padding or much pulling at

sent the coveted lines of beauty. Both
these methods are much to be deplored and
they show considerable lack of interest on

no possible reason why a healthy woman
should not acquire symmetrical and at
tractive figure by perfectly natural means
