Bishop John NJ Walden of New York,
secretary of the board of bishops of the
Methodist church, was the principal
speaker yesterday. That the conditions
of city life are better for the making
OF citizens than those of rural life,
was the startling statement made by the
eastern bishop.
Il would trust the interests of this
country to the people of the cities sooner
than any other section of our country's
population" he said.
The bishop paid high tribute to the
Roman Catholic church. aside from any
consideration of the religious value of the

priests are a mighty power for the pre-
servation of order and decency among the
alien population of American Cities"

NEW GOVERNMENT MAP.
Bureau of Statistics Gets Up Chart Of
Transportation Routes.

Washington, January, 81.-The bu-
reau of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor has prepared a
map entitled Principal transportation
routes of the world" designed to show
at glance the principal land and wa
ter routes of the world in conjunction.
The map shows the distances from New
York, New Orleans, San Francisco and
Port Townsend, four of the principal
ports of the world, from the chief
cities of the United States to those four
initial points, thus making it feasible
to determine the distance from any
leading city of the United States to
any leading>eity of the world. This
table of distances by the various routes
includes those via Panama and Tech
uantepec and across the United States
as well as via Suez and around Cape
Horn and the Cape of Good Hope.
A small document entitled Trans
portation routes and systems of the
world" accompanies the map.

That our American Forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent mediea;
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
lored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites. led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment OF most
valuable American medicinal roots.
