Meeting of Engineers.

Little Rock, Ark. Oct. 2O.- Little Rock is today entertaining the U. s. Board of Engineers which came to this city to hear evidence concerning the commercial value of the Arkansas River and to de- eide whether any portion of the annual appropriat tion for deep wat CT ways should be assigned to the
 Nrkansas River from Ozark to Lit tie Rock. The commercial organ cations of Little Rock have been gathering the data fo rthis board meeting for some time and it is hoped that the showing is suffi- cient to cause a large portion Of the money to be spent on the Arkansas. Mai. Wa.erk and the other members of the board met this morning at 10 o'clock in the council chamber Of the city hall lThe room was crowded With bus mess men al with pile Of infor- tion to hurl at the engineers.
 H'rom where the board of in- lnuiry sat the broad white streak with the little strip Of silvery gray between could be seen, and seem- ed to plead for some kind of inn provement which would increase size of silver. The river is all bars now and so low that boats
 an run but few niles either way from the city. The engineers will be given luncheon at noon and in the afternoon taken up the river on the Grand so the board can study the banks. 1t was the in tention Of the commercial bodies of the city to send the board all the way up to Ozark but the stage of the river is too low to permit the trip

GENEROUS AND WISE.

Some men give with discretion, but
gite little Some men give much. bun
give with little judgment. The truest
benefactors are they who give both gen.
erOusly and wisely, and among such a
conspicuous place must now be accorded
TO the late John Stewart Kennedy, the
chief provisions OF whose remarkable
will were yesterday published IN our
columns. There have been few-vecy
few-iarger bequests for public uses than
his. There have probably been none more
widely and more wisely distributed.
Ii is not surprising that eleven Organi-
zations Of the Presbyterian Church are
among the chief participants in the dis
tribution OF about S30,000,O00 under Mr..
Kennedy's will. nor will any fair minded
person criticise or begruGge that fact.
That part of the bequest viii benefit not
only the Presbyterian Church as Il
church, but also its great public hospital
in this city. its manifold charities and
fits important educational activities.
Other beneficiaFies are about two dozen
schools. colleges and universities, relis-
ious and secular, for men and women,
for white and black. in North and South,
and in three continents Of the world:
New Nork's great Public Library, the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art and the
National Academy OF Design; the Chief
charitable organizations of this city and
state, such s.the Chiidren's AID Society,
the Charity Organization Society, the
Association for the improvement OF the
Condition Of the Poor, United Charities
and the State Charities. Aid Association,
The American and the New York Bible
societies, the Young Mems and Young
Nomen's Christian associations and a
number Of the best hospitals, dispen-
saries and homes. In such a varied and

result that Ia 1905. they elected twenty
