The Bride Wins.

At Yarmouth, in st. Nicholas
Church, one of the most curious objects
Is known as the DEVILS Chair It ia
formed out Of the huge jawbone of
whale and stands at the west end of
the church. When fisher lasses get
married, they think 1t good for the
newly welded couple TO race from the
chancel, and they believe that whoever
reaches the Devils Chair first will rule
the roost in the little household they
are about to set up.-London Granite

FINAL TRIUMPH OF MEDICINE.
BY DR.. R. c. Sweet.

Victory has followed victory, ana
many Of the most dreaded diseases
have become powerless in the con-
quest with preventive medicine. The
clientele Of the physicians is growing
smaller and smaller, but their glory
as humanitarians and scientists Is
rising and will reach the zenith after
coming generations Of more erudite
physicians have conquered and laid
at their feet the two worst enemies
of mankind-tuberculos and cancer.

DRAINAGE PLAN TO
 COST HALF MILLION
Estimated Expense of Improvements Recommended by Capt. Hoffman of Engineering Corps-,DeEe-
 gates Depart.

A report was recently made ta thn Mississippi River Commission by Cap tain Hoffman, United States engineer in charge Of the Improvement Of the Mississippi river between the month of the Arkansas river aud Vicksburg, says the Little Rock Gazette
 This report advises the joining e. the levees on the south side of the Arkansas river, extending down tho west bank of the Mississippi This will give a continuous line of levee from just below Little Rock to the mouth of the Red river This will ne- cessitate the dyking of the mouth Of Cypress creek bayou. This bayou originates near Pine Bluff and emp ties into the Mississippi river about 20 miles below the mouth of the Arkan sas. An outlet for Cypress creek bayou will be secured by digging canal south to the Desha county drainage canal and the water will flow out through Desha and Chicot counties south into Louisiana and reach the Red river eventually. It 1 is roughly estimated that the cost of this work will be about S550,000.
 Under the direction of the Missis- sippi River Commission Captain Hoff- man has placed a corps of engineers in the territory and a detailed survey of the, entire district will be made. This improvement will prevent the annual overflow of southeast Arkan- Sass and northeast Louisiana, which 1 is occasioned by the Mississippi river backing up Cypress creek bayou and running around the end of the levee and inundatlng the country below with water from one to ten feet.
 The undertaking is one of no small magnitude, as the people are already paying a big leyee tax. The land, however overfloWs almost every spring, and i'll consequence this ac- ton is to be taken in order to rem edy the evil if possible.

EXCESSIVE HEAT
 OVERCAME ELKS
Heat PrOstrates 2,50O People While Elks Were Parading in "PhiIly"
 All Hospitals in City Into Service.

Philadelphia, July 19.-It is es- timated that 2.500 persons were prostrated by the heat yesterday during the progress of xhe Elks' pa rade. The parade was one of the greatest seen in this city in years, and it was estimated that more ] than half a million people crowded : into Broad street to view the spec tacle. It was the hottest day in the summer. Every hospital in the city was brought into service alter those nearest the route of the pa rade were crowded to the last inch. No fatalities were reported up to pm. The physicians were so busy that no names were taken.
 A severe storm broke up the pa rade just as the rear of the line passed the official reviewing stand. Hens of thousands of people were drenched, and lightning struck in many places, but so far as known no one was injured.
 Prostrations Are Mild
 The jam of people was terrific, ana the greatest difficulty was eXperlene' ed by the worn-out policemen n s2t' ting the prostra -ei ,:''sons out o1 tht crowds. Fortunately, the prostra' tions were of a mild character, anc most of the patients were able to dls pense with medical attention after Fhor. treatment.
 One of the most serious cases re ported was that of an unidentit1ef man taken to the Jefferson hosplta' It took eight men to put him in al zee bath, and he broke the nose Of a' Ettendant before he was finally sub bued.
 Crowds Waited for Hours.
 It is believed that no such crowt as that which lined Broad street today Eyer gathered on that highway. Heed { |s Of the scorching sun, hundreds O
 ousands of men, women and chi' ren stood along the route of the pro ession for hours and waited patiently ntll the pageant came swingins own the hot asphalted street. Fifty IT. tdstands lined the route, whicl xtended from Huntington street t Feed, a distance of four miles, with { wo-mile counter march to Win, treet. Business for the most par Gas practically suspended for th' Xay in honor of the festive occasion.

FIRE ON OCEANIC.
Burned for Two Hours and Did Some
Damage.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The fire on the
, White Star line steamer Oceanic. which
was discovered in the Storage shortly after
l O'Clock this morning, was not brought
under control for two hours. The fire
started among the steeraSe berths The
crew was called to quarters and did what
it could to extnguish the flames, but when
they spread to the cargo outside aid had
to be called. In the after hold We're 1877
barrels of glucose. which burned like Oil,
and that part of the cargo was soon I'M
tirely aflame. The crew closed the after
compartment and then the firemen drown
ed out the flames.
All the bedding and other pershable fit
tings of the steerage were destroyed, in
addition to a quantity of freight Among
the cargo was some theatrical scenery be-
longing to Forbes Robertson who recently
left for England after a successful season
in America, and this is said to have been
burned damaged
The origin of the fire is unknown, but the
suspicion was prevalent on the dock early
today that it WAS the result of incendiarism.
The loss will reach several thousand dol
lars 1t WAS stated that the sailing of
the steamer, which is set for Wednesday,
will not be delayed.
While not among the fastest, the Oceanic
is one of the most popular boats of the
White Star line. She is a seven-day boat
built in 1899. She is a steel, twin screw
vessel of 1I274 tons displacement and u
net tonnage of 6,917 tons.
The White Star line officials announce
that the fire on the Oceanic was confined
exclusively to the hold of the vessel, the
hull sustaining no damage whatever and
that she will sail at pm. Wednesday, as
scheduled
