May 23.—The Pres byterian general assembly today ap proved the report of the special com mittee on marriage and divorce and _ hope‘of moro'radical re'S^roaffirm! ! ing utterances of former assemblies , ^Cotroying the bright red corpuscles and rich, nutritive qualities regarding divorce and enjoning Pres- j tkc blood. Scrofula being' a constitutional disease, one affecting tli? byteries “to enforce the standards of \ entire circulation, must be treated with a remedy that builds up -md an* rniiUsters^unfler*theiiMcare. *and U to ^S^ens every part of the system, which has so'long been denied the urgb ail ministers to regard the comity that should refrain from giving v -the sanction of our church to members of another church whose marriage Is in violation cf the laws of the church, whose communion they have chosen. Rev. Dr. Chas. A. Dickey, of Phila delphia. chairman of the committee, presented the report. Referring to the marriage of President Corey, of the United States steel corporation, he said: “What we heard about Mr. Corey cleared the way. The condemnation of public opinion was enough in itself to make us rejoice; but surely if the edi torials of our newspapers and if the approval of public opinion is bringing a high standard, it is time for us to take the lead in this as in everything and give an example of the church cleansing itself from lax divorces and sinful marriages.” Although it was rumored that an at tempt would be made for the reconsid eration of the action on the anti-saloon league, no such step was taken. It is not improbable, however, that the con troversy may be renewed tomorrow when the report of the permanent committee on temperance is presented. strength and nourishment it should have received from the blood. S. S. S. is the best of all blood purifiers and the greatest of all tonics, and is therefore the ideal remedy for Scrofula. S. S. S. searches out and destroys all germs, taints and poisons, gives strength, richness and vigor to the blo’od and cures Scrofula permanently. It so thoroughly removes the trouble from the blood that no signs of it are ever seen again, and posterity is started out in life with a clean, pure blood supply, which is’their rightful inheritance. S. S. S. while thorough, is gentle in its action, and the healing vegetable ingredients which compose it build uo every part of the system. Book on the blood and medical advice free.

CANNON DID NOT HEAR WORD OF OHIO POLITICS WASHINGTON, May 23.—President Roosevelt had Secretary Taft, Speaker Cannon and Representative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, as guests at lun cheon at the White House today. Mr. Longwortli has just returned to Wash ington from Ohio and he and Mrs. Longworth are guests at the White Mr. Gcodyear’s Canal Plan. To the Editor of The Telegraph: I11 discussion of the canal to connect Ala- con with the entire navigable system of the ceneral South and West. I find no one doubtful of its value if#t can be built, but in this section not familiar with canals and canal construction there are many who cannot under stand how the canal is to go through the Georgia hills. Will you permit me to explain how we would climb instead of going through any mountain with a large canal? Why, given a sufficient water supply for each canal level, there is practically no 'limit to the climbing ca pacity of canals. How the James river and Kanakwa canal, Richmond to 'Buchanan, Va., in j 1847 overcame rise and fail of 1.916 feet; the Morris crossing the Ailegha- niee. a rise and fall of 1,674: the Black River Canal, New York, a rise and fail of 1.0S0 feet in thirty-five miles. Rise or fall is overcome by locks or lock lifts. Canals are bui’.t upon different levels. Usually a lock overcomes a difference in level of from 10 to 15 feet. There is a lock at each end of each level. It L a fixed basin of size suitable for the boats used, with a gate at each end. with a depth equal to the level in which it is. A boat arrives at the end of a canal level, the gate is opened, it en ters the lock and Is locked in by shut- ing the gate. If it is to ascend say 15 feet to a higher level the other gate at the .bow of the boat is opened, the water from the higher level fills the lock to the higher level into which the boat goes and proceeds upon its Jour ney. If descending tho vessel pas; into the lock with the water therein at the higher level, the gate is closed, thei vessel locked in, water abstracted from! the lock until the boat is upon the* level of the level below, say, 15 feet,- 1 The gate is opened at the bow and it Journeys on In the lower level. These ' lockages are performed in an incredi bly short space of time. if ft heavy lift of 40 to 70 foot is to be overcome at a single point it is overcome by what is known as a flight of locks, namely, passes from one lock into another, and still another, until the entire change into a new level Is made from 40 to 75 feet above or below as the case may be. Or a lock lift namely, a receptable for the boat filled with water into Which the boat is locked and exactly upon the principle of the elevator, boat, water and all are lifted at once to the higher level or dropped to the lower level, 40 to 70 feet change of level. If I am clear in statement, this should satisfy the doubter that canals climb mountains. They havo been climbing mountains and dropping down the side* of mountains ever since the lock principle was discovered in the fourteenth century. C. P. GOODYEAR.

A half brother testified that Beil confessed to having killed the physician for revenge.

CANTON, Ohio, Alay 23.—Afrs. Wm. AfcKiniey has suffered a stroke of par alysis and her attending physician. Dr. O. E.
