Mr. Taft visited the isthmus just before his inaugura tion in 1909, but since t.ien various extensive and engineering problems have arisen, and congress feoon must ftame legislation as to rates of toll, form of government, the regulation of the sale of coal the disposition of the Panama railroad and many other things. The President expects to make various recommendations re garding the canal at the coming short session of congress. Mr. Taft sailed on the armored iruiser Tennessee, with tne curiser Montana, as convoy. While officially rated as cruisera, these vessels have the general proportions of the battle ships of a few years ago, although they could not stand up very long against the modern dreadnaughts. Both cruisers have a speed of 22 knots and 'will make the trip to Colon in four' days. Mr. Taft expects to be on the isthmus four days, and is due i back in Charleston November 22. He will stop over a few hours in Rich mond on the 23rd, and be back in Washington that afternoon. Tiie.

NORTH CAROLINA CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST DEAD. Wealthy Wlininglon Woman Would Have No Physician. Miss Mary Bridget's, aged about 38 years, leader of the Christian Science sect, one of Wilmington's wealthy and prominent women so cially, died after a comparatively short illness from typhoid fever. Miss Bridgers was a devout Chris tian Scientist and durinf her ill ness was not attended by a regular physician, although a trained nurse was called during Hie last two or three days. She was the leader of her Church there and it was large ly through her work llnil tin- Chris tian Science church in Wilmington has become perhaps the .strongest in the Stale. A few years ago Miss Bridget's purchased a tract of land on the edge of town and developed what is known as Carolina Heights, where are now a number of Wil mington's most, handsome homes. She built a Christian Science church in the suburbs. It was a right slrange coincidence that the day before her death, for mal announcement was made through the local press lhat the first church of Christian Scientists in that city had been closed in obe dience to orders from the Christian Science board of directors. This action was taken on account of the members of tun local churches holding the views (hat Mrs. Au gusta Stetson had been unjustly treated by the Mother Church and that she was unjustly expelled. The Christian Science church has been an institution there for about eight, years. Miss Bridgers. was a daughter of the late Robert R. Bridget's, for many years president of the Allan tie, Coast. Line Railroad, from whom she derived a largo fortune. DEAD SOLDIERS HONORED. Confederate Monument Unveiled at : ' Henderson Speech Making. -..The Confederate monument has been unveiled at Henderson.
