BIG OVATION TO
 CLARK AND HARMON

Washington, December S.-(Special)- within it's sway more than 5000 persons this morning on two occasions when Governor Harmon Of Ohio and Champ Clark minority leader of the House, were introduced before the National Rivers and Harbors congress in session at the New Willard.
 The scenes would have more become a political convention than gathering to discuss economic questions. Not con- tent with applauding in the usual manner the delegates cheered vociferously. waved their hats, canes and programmes and in some instances dismantled the banners indicating the state sections, thus add ing to the variety of objects which filled the air during the demonstration.
 The ovations, which were the greatest ever extended any speakers before in the history of the congress, were in each in- stance precipitated by the introductory re- marks of President Joseph F. Ransden
 In presenting Cove nor Harmon, Pres ident Ransdell referred to him as a great son of a mother of Presidents.
 Later while introducing MT. Clark, he said that the minority leader had been great friend of the waterway movement, and indications were that he would before long be in position to be even more of a friend.
 These references to the presidential pos abilities of Governor Harmon In 1912 and MT. C1ark's succeeding Joseph Can non as speaker of the House brought the delegates to their feet each time, and 1t was several minutes before the speak CTS could proceed.

FINAL TRIBUTES
 TO MRS. EDDY

Boston, December S.-The followers of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science church, parted with her visible form today at funeral service that was marked by simplicity and lack of ostentation that yielded no expressions of sorrow, at least not by her followers; that was surrounded by no trappngs of mourning, but was, never theless, sufficiently impressive to finger long in the memory of the 127 persons who attended
 Judge Clifford P Smith, first reader of the mother church, read the greater part oe the service prepared by himself, con- sisting of selections from the Bible, corelative passages from Mrs. Eddy's book. 'Science and Health" and praver. He was assisted by Mrs. Carol Hovt Powers, the second reader, who rendered Mrs. Eddys poem, Mothers Evening Prayer" with sweet and ten der expressions. The service lasted only IS minutes.
 There was no eulogy. no sopbing, ex- cept by the young granddaughter, Mary Baker Glover. whose crepe-covered hat was the only sombre color in the house.
 Those who wished to look for the last time on the face of the leader saw the small, delicate face of woman who looked 60 instead of 90. and whose expression was singularly peaceful and no sign of suffering.
 Eighteen carriages followed the hearse to Mount Auburn cemetery in Watertown. There, before the receiv- ing tomb, Judge Smith finished the ser vice.
 The coffin was slipped into its niche, the door was shut and sealed and man was placed on guard.
 As q measure of protection the guard has access to a telephone, which the directors of the church have placed in the vault.
 It Is expected that Mrs. Eddy's will will be filed tomorrow at Concord. N Il.

Wdterzuays Congress Has
 Ar Enthusiastic Session

direct their missionary efforts for leg islation to the Senate and White House.
 .If all the words in favor of in- proving our waterways. he said. "could be transmitted into dollars We would have funds sufficient to build granite dikes on both sides of every rivre in the country.
 What puzzles me is that we all profess to be in favor of waterway improvement and yet nobody seems to have sense enough to devise sys- tenn of development that can be start ed and carried through.
 q am in favor of economy, but ev- cry expenditure is not waste. Nearly every member of the House of Rep resentatives is ready to help you and let me add that resolutions do no good unless you keep up an active campaign in Congress. Direct your missionary work to the Senate and the White House."
 General Bixby declared that the day had passed for the appearance in river and harbor bills of projects where the worthiness of the improvement is sub ject to any reasonable doubt"
 "The special provisions of Congress" he said, with respect to the investi- gation of any new river and harbor projects have raised so many safe guards that 1t will be practically i'm possible for any unworthy projects to get into coming river and harhori bills unless Conssress changes iys present rules"
 Other speakers were Frederick A. Delano of Chicago, president of the Wabash railroad Robert J. MacFarland of the New York state waserways com mission, Clifford Sifton, chairman of the Canadian conservation commission; :; F. w. Crandall, chairman of the na- tional railroad committee of the Tray elers Protective association. and Wal ter s. Dickey, president of the Missouri river in the country.

Washington, December S.-That the great object which led to the organiza- tion of the national rivers and harbors congress is the adoption by the govern ment of policy of inland waterways improvement and the adequate support of that policy with annual appropriations is within sight of accomplishment. IS the belief of the hundreds of delegates now in this city attending the seventh an nual gathering of the body
 Positive declaration was made to the assemblage today by Champ Clark, looked upon by the delegates as probable speak CT of the next House, that the House would approve such a bill and make necessary appropriations. There would be in his opinion, few dissenting votes. A similar opinion was expressed by other speakers. including Governor Harmon of Ohio and General Bixby. chief of United States engineers.
 The safeguarding of terminal facilities along waterways to be improved was de- clared by several speakers to be of great importance. Some of them stated that the railroad companies are already in possession of dockage sites which VIII hamper the work of t-ansferring heavy freteht traffic to water lines. Custer pro eeedines must now DC f0sorted t2, it waDs claimed. and the dockage sites secured by municipal ownership before the full Lenefit of the millions to be expended could be enjoyed.

AWED THE STUDENTS.


Jean Riehepin's First Lesson az an In
structor In Literature.
At the age of twenty-five Jean Richie
pin, the French poet and dramatic au-
thor, accepted place as instructor In
literature in a school which prepared
students for the military college Of
st. Cyr. His employers warned him
that the future army officers took very
little interest In belles-lettres and that
their principal occupation in class was
raising chaos.
Richepin's first lesson began amid
a storm of whistling and catcalls. But
the young instructors voice doomed
out above the uproar and imperiously
commanded silence. Gentlemen" he
said, 81 am not here because l like it.
/ am here for my living. Is any one
OF you going to stand in the way2 If
there is, should be obliged If he will
tell me so face to face on the Place du
him at any time. And inasmuch as we
are all of us about the same age, you
understand, of course, that the inter-
view Will be with bare fists"
And, so saying. young Richepin
brought his clinched hand down upon
the desk, and the desk broke in two,
and he and his pupils lived happily
ever afterward. Thus runs the official
legend.
The Game He Suggested.
Stranger mysteriously)-Pd Ike to
get into a gambling game OF some sort.
Where can l go?
Tired Looking Man (whispering)-
Over to the office of that justice OF the
peace. He'll marry you.-St. Louis

How They Can Be Used For Artistic
Decorations.
The woman who clings to the OLD
fashioned habit Of keeping things"
is sure to have a shawl somewhere
among her possessions Shawls went
to the attic and the storeroom several
decades ago, when their career Of
fashion ended.
An artistic arrangement makes Of q
shawl both a wall hanging and q
cover for the top Of an upright piano.
Before the shawl is hung strip Of
strong, dark colored cotton cloth should
be sewed securely along one edge and
These loops are fastened to picture
hooks, so that the shawl may be sus-
pended from the picture molding With
out the use of tacks.
In a room with a ceiling of average
height and molding placed at the
usual distance from the ceiling a
shawl hung in this way will reach
smoothly down to the piano and be
long enough to cover the. top with the
border hanging above the music rack.
This is satisfactory arrangement for
increasing the apparent height Of a
low ceiling. Above the piano, cover
ing the center of the shawl, which is
always a plain piece Of red or black
or white cashmere, an ivory toned
plaster bas-relief may be hung. A
framed photograph or an etching will
be equally suitable, but colored pic
ture must not be used.
All old shawls are entirely too deli
cate to be used as couch covers
though many of them have come tc
their untimely end through such usage
They are too rare and beautiful fol
rough handling. They must be look
ed over occasionally as precautior
against moths.-Delineator For March

Rhinoceros.
There are q number of beasts speci-
mems Of which are ardently desired
not only by the geological gardens of
the world, but by the professional me-

be mentioned the Kadiak bear, an ex-
tremely rare animal and one calculat-
ed to make a Rocky mountain grizzly

South America contains a prize in
the form of a species of jaguar never
held in captivity. This jaguar is of
tremendous size and coal black.
There are two rare birds in the Anna
zon forests whereof no specimens have
ever been brought away-the bell
bird' and the '1ost soul" These names
are derived from the effects produced
by the cries of the birds, the former
having a voice likened to that of sill
yer bell and he latter possessing the
eerie accompaniment OF grooming in
such a manner as to produce goose
flesh on the unfortunate person who
hears its song
The naturalists will also vote an ex-
preston of heartfelt thanks to the in
dividual who will fetch them from far
OF Burma a specimen of rhinoceros
