Baitimore, October P. The national rivers and harbors congress adjourned sin- die todav after adopting resoHi tions embodving its sentiments wiln re gard to congressional appropriations for the imiirovement of waterways. Congress was urged to take speedy tion in the matter of the ctmstru' t of an isthmian canal. The place of meeting for the next con gress was not d.-cided upon. Invita tions were received from lieaunumt and St- Eouis. Mo. An incident of today s session was the ruling out of a resolution of confi dence in President Roosevelt, offered by A. R. Smith, of New York, who asked that it be adopted without refer enee to the committee. Objection was raised on the ground tion was not germane that th'- resolu- itnd it was refer red to the committee. Th- resolutions are as follows: Resolved, That this d, Ihiit this congress asserts that the best development of tional reson es demands the our ha idequatr improvement of our waterways, am therefore, it endorses and urines upon the congress of the Enited States a lib eral policy in their improvements. through systematic and adequat . up propriations therefore. In equally un equivocal terms, this congress rtenlores and condemns any action wheh leads to the failure of river .and hi.-bir legis hition. Resolved. That it is the sense of this congress that the improvement o. river: and harbors is tullv as important as the work carried on by any deoc it men l of the general government, and for this reason we urge that appropriations therefore be placed upon such :' footin as will insure, at all times, amnio fumls for :i vigorous prosecution of the work: and to this end. we endorse the system of continuing contract Resolved. That in the judgment of this congress all items should be ex eluded from the river and harbor.", bill that do not appertain to the improve mi nt of barbers and waterways for th purpose of water-borne commerce. Resolved.

Fla.. October 0 Will Jones. a negro outlaw, is in jail here seriously j wounded after having experienced one oi tne most desperate tights with a posse of officers ever known in Florida. Immediately preceding his fight with the officers Jones killed a woman, be cause of jealousy, and a negro man. Sheriff Armstrong was notified of the murder of the woman in the southeast ern part of the county, and with depu ties hurried to the scene. He found that the woman had been shot down as she sat bv the side of her husband in her home and that Jones had es caped to the woods. The outlaw- in the meantime, in his flight, had run upon Dan Anderson, a white man who was hunting, and. be lieving the man to be an officer, had without warning shot him down. Jones was finally surrounded in a vacant house, but kept the small posse at bay with his rifle and finally escaped. The sheriff increased his posse and resumed the hunt this morning, follow ing the trail for miles, when, the negro was finally surrounded! in a live oak prairie near Higdon. At the sight of the posse the outlaw opened fire and a vigorous fusillade continued for several minutes. After the smoke had cleared. Sheriff Arm strong ana ueputy laroorough were both wounded, one ball striking the former in the head. Neither officer, however, is fatally wounded. The negTO outlaw was also found prostrate in his own blood, with several wounds in his body. He is yet alive. BLOOD AND IRON. You could not live an hour without iron in your blood. You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron. The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes, and when it reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with it to keep the fires of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues. If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life: you fail that much to keep up the needed repair of your bodies that is, you get run down and sick. This accounts for the life-giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iron, and to do that is to restore the full body-building power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar life-quickening function; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron is lacking. Vigor and strength re turn just as surely when this element is restored. Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick or tired out people riuickest because it contains the particular blood-making and strength-giving form of iron that the system needs. This remedy puri fies and enriches the blood, it increases the activity of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It overcomes nervousness and builds up vitality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and de serves your confidence because it has been doing all these things tor forty five years. Prepared only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co., Dayton, Sold everywhere.

The action of greatest importance taken today by the triennial Episcopal convention was the adoption by the house of bishops by a vote of 37 to 21 of Canon 36, which relates to the solemnization of mar riage. All of its provisions had pre viously been argued except those con tained in Section 4. which forbade the marriage of persons divorced for any cause not existing before marriage. "For any cause not existing before marriage." is understood to refer to such causes as insanity, inability to ex ecute a contract, the existence of a liv ing wife or husband, or like reasons which practically render the marriage null and void. This section has been a bone of contention, a strong element in the church holding that the re-mar- riage of the innocent party to a divorce. x granted on the ground of infidelity I X should not be forbidden. The bishops 1 JL have refused to accept this view of the j j matter. i The question is by no means settled. x as the whole subject is now to come j X up in the house of deputies, where it is expected to cause a protracted de- : bate. The canon, as finally passed by the house of bishops, reads: "The solemnization of matrimony in the church, in which the mutual con sent of each party entering into this state of life is given in the presence of a minister who. having pronounced them in the name of the Holy Trinity to be man and wife, invokes the Divine blessing upon their union. "The requirements of the laws of the state regarding the conditions for the civil contract of marriage shall in all cases be carefully observed, before the marriage is solemnized. "No minister shall solemnize the mar riage of any person who is a minor under the law of the place of marriage unless the parent or guardian of such minor is present and consenting, or shall have given written consent to the marriage, or is permanently resident in a foreign country. No minister shall solemnize a marriage except in the presence of at least two witnesses, the minister or the witnesses being person ally acquainted with the parties. Every ' minister shall without delay formally J record in the proper register the name, age and residence of each party. Such record shall be signed by the minister who performs the ceremony, and if practicable by the married parties, and by at least two witnesses of the mar riage. No minister shall solemnize a mar riage between any two persons unless. nor until by inquiry, he shall have sat isfied himself that neither person has been or is the husband, or the wife of any other person then living: unless the former marriage vras annulled by a decree ot some civil court ot compe tent jurisdiction for cause existing be fore such former marriage." The bishops have yet to consider Canon 37. providing for the eliscipllne of persons marrying after having been divorced. This also will cause lively discussion. Another important feature of the wc-'-k of the house of bishops to day was the appointment of a commit tee of five to act with similar commit tees of priests and laymen, constituting a joint committee or ntteen. to consiuer the proposed change in the name of the church. The committee has no power to act, but is to report its findings at the next general convention to be held in Boston in 1904. At the session of the house of depu ties J. Pierpont Morgan, of the joint committee on place of meeting of the next general convention, reported in favor of the selection of Boston, and so moved, the house or bishops concur ring. The motion was unanimously adopted by the deputies. The special committee submitted res olutions in regard to the death of Pres ident McKinley which were adopted by ; standing vote. The resolutions fol low?: Resolved. That the general eonven tion of the Protestant Episcopal church meeting in the city of San Francisco, hereby records its feeling of deep re gret that so dastardly a crime result in the death of our chief magistrate William McKinley. and expression of hope that this common sorrow may unite our people in a bond that may tend more and more to exalt our gov ernment in truth and justice. "That the guilt of the assassination is aggrevateci by the tact mat it is a menace to the American idea oi law and respect for the country's rulers. 'That we appreciate the consclentous ability of his public service, the beauty of his private life and the noble sense of his great faith. Be it resolved further that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Mrs. McKinley and to the congress of the Fnitecl States." After a brief discussion of a proposed amendment oi an explanatory naiaire, to Section G of Canon 19, the matter of marginal readings was taken up. The discussion was continued witnout action until recess. SPECIAL NOTICES LOST A SMALL. BLACK SPANIEL PLPPY. Has owners name on collar and small silver heart attached.
