River Improvement Is a topic of Rcneral
Intercut now-u-doys In this vnllcy
f from Pittsburgh to Cairo. If Congress
were pledged to do wlmt the practical
unanimity of the Ohio valley calls for
r v there would bo an appropriation sufllclont
to lock and dam the river from
Davis Island (Just below Pittsburgh)
to Cincinnati. This unanimity found
expression in the recently organised
Ohio Valley Improvement Association.
I* Everybody, almost, seems to think that
' something will be accomplished soatv
The other evening a number of people
were in the Virginia's pilot house enJoying
from that point of vantage one
of the prettiest of the many pretty
gems of scenory along the upper Ohio?
the approach to Parkersburg; historic
Blannerhassett on one side, a full moon
giving the broad expanse of river a
golden sheen, and the many arc lights
; of the city serving as a brilliant backl
ground. The new boat was ploughing
up the middle of the river under a full
head of steam, and with seventeen feet
of water underneath, the pilots were
not picking their way around sandbars
or government dikes.
I' "If we could have this stage of water
nine months In the year between Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati," said Captain
- , Prank Ellison, of Cincinnati, "this
ofaatnhnnt tvoiiWI I?.? n thlrd-ClfUUl CPflft
s in ten years," instead of-the finest on the
upper river, as she Is to-day."
"You have views on river improvement,"
remarked the scribe.
"Yes, that's true." returned the genial
superintendent of the packet line.
"But 1 have a deal more faith in the
Ohio river as it standi* to-day than in
government action In Improving It. I
do not think that anything In the way
of & general scheme of Improvement
will be accomplished for ho me time.
But a start Is being made and no effort
should be spared to achieve the object
in view. The river has two very good
friends in Senator* Quay, of Pennsylj
vanla, and Elklns. of West Virginia,
who together possess as much tntluence
as the next pair of men you strike.
But It will be many a day before you
i see. the river Improved on the lines desired
by the river improvement association."
i Captain Ellison believes thnt the
river should be locked and dammed
from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati. In his
opinion, locks and dams to Marietta
would not suftlce, as the river below
Marietta is very low in the summer
I months, usually. In connection with
improvement of the river, he said that
the effort to retain Colonel Amos Stick ney
as.the army officer In charge of the
Ohio will not be relaxed until Secretary
Lamont finally signs the document that
in an abrevlnted form means "No."
The colonel Is the best friend the river
ever had In government circles, and
though the new man might be all right,
!. the Ohio river people feel that they
should stick to Stlckney Just ns he has
stuck to them and their interests.
Captain Al. Slavln, now an otflclal of
the Ohio River railroad, was formerly
purser on the Hudson and other Ohio
river steamboats*. He was n passenger
on the Virginia's Initial trip. and. like
all others. Is a great admJrrr of the
new ix>ui. tmcK iu nn* fvi-imrn nv
wan clerk on a lower river boat running
out of Evansvllle, Ind. In the
summer of '""J. tffe year of that neverto-be-forg<>tlen
run of the fever-stricken
John Porter up the Ohio, his boat
was at the Evansvllle wharf when the
Porter canto up the river. The boat
Stopped and he met the captain. C. W.
Mahan. who now lives up the river,
near New Cumberland. This was before
the fever broke out among the
crew. A day later. Slaven was thoroughly
frightened to loam of the ysllow
fever being discovered on the Porter.
which hnd proceeded on up the
* river, but fortunately he had escaped
b"J -7 contaminated. It will be remembered
tho Porter went on up the river,
every town turning out urtned to the
teeth to rc&lft any Intended landing,
and that finally, the^onl giving out, the
boat wan forced to go to the bank on
the West Virginia shore opposite Oitlllpolls.
Ohio. .There the crew, one after
another, took the disease and succumbed
to It until, at last, only one man remained?the
watchman of the boat,
who esca|K'd death. Steamboats In
pawing that reach of the river would
hug the Ohio shore for dear life. Day
after day the men who remained alive
could be seen digging graves In the
ttand and depositing the dead In them?

of the dread plague, the watchman.
was unAble l?? k??1 away frprti Pis
terrible surroundings; no boat would
even think of taking him as a passenger
down the river. He got away In a
novel manner, one night when pilots
couldn't see much 1- general, or anything
in particular, one of those nlgbts
of Inky darkness not often seen on the
river, in? waicnmun iMiiunrKva in iii?*
Barter's yawl, and after ft night's hard
work reached Huntington, whore hedlsgulsed
himself and took passage -*?n
the old Andes f'?r Cincinnati. Thence he
went on to Louisville. his home, where
he was received as one dead and gone.
The Virginia hud Just left Cntlettsburg,
Ky.. at the mouth of the Big
Sandy, famous for lt? lint boat? and
flatboatmon, and was passing the broad
oxpanse of bottom on which the Norfolk
A Western town of Kenova In located,
when an Ancient Historian, who
was taking In the view from the boat's
most sacred sanctum, the pilot house,
brok out with this observation:
"You fellow* don't know how close a
Bhave your Wst Virginia town of
Huntington had from being located
right here where they are trying to
build up a town, do you?" ^
' Cenerul Ignorance was expressed,
"Yes, It b a fnet." continued the
"A-C." "And this very Ohio river/itself
was the cause of Huntington being located
where it Is Instead of over yonder.
The man who was Instructed to
locate the terminus of the Chesapeake
& Ohio road, then being constructed
across the mountains, wns to pink a
spot between the mouths of the Ouynndotto
and nig Randy. He arrived on the
scene In February. 1S70, and proceeded
to look at the ni-veral rnnillilatos for
the location of the proposed city. The
present slt<? of Huntington seemed all

Bandy possessed advantage*. and
here h* Anally derided to place bin
town. Hut ho hnd hnrely come to this
determination when La Nolle Riviera
took a hund and bent him nt hi* own
game, no to spenk. Heavy snows In tho
upper valloy hnd, with the ahlo assistance
of equally heavy rains, brought
the river up to a high fltafto. The rlvor
continued to rlne, and to tho dlsmny of
the town-maker, crept up over tho
hanks nnd covered th?- land that wns
soon to bloom n* tho silo of a prosperous
city. This wouldn't do, of
course, end the rosult wan n now deal.

It woul<\ not be surprising if navigation
Is suspended in thin part of the
Ohio on account of Ice cn,rly this week.
Tho four boats that arrived and departed
at this port yesterday were having
a hard experience with tho Ice, and
unless there Is an Improvement In the
situation nil will go to the bank on arrival
at their terminal points.
The Ben Hur arrived hero from Parkersburg
early yenterdny morning and

Captain Kim pie says she will remain
until the Ice Is no longer a menace to
navigation. Her sheathing was conoid*
orably battered by the heavy Ice. Tho
Liberty In at Parkersburg, hurbored In
the mouth of the Little Kanawha with
oth?r bouts. and at a late hour Captain
Booth had not telegraphed of his departure
for Wheeling, which It Is not
probable ho will attempt In the face of
the heavy Ice.

MADE fl CARDINAL.
Contlniuxl Front First I*?gr.
pride tlmt wo recognize the striking resemblance"
between the constitution of
the church and our republican Institutions."
Archbishop Knln said that the office
of chief ruler In the United States, as In
the lloman Cuthollc church, Is elective,
yet not by popular suffrage, but by an
electoral college in one case and by the
College of Cardinals In tho other. He
said also that the College of Cardinals
Is in the church what the senate Is In
the United States. Be stated also that
In tkn <>liilrpli n?. (it (hit IfnlMil Stflfl1*.
the highest offlcto are within roach (if
all her sons, and the rule holds pood
that promotion goes by fitness and preferment.
The speaker next paid a high tribute
to Cardinal Hatolll, paying: "The Holy
Father, who bus watched the career of
bis Eminence from boyhood's days, ban
not only admired him for bis Intellectual
gifts, but has loved him, because
In him he ban seen a model of solid sacerdotal
virtue. Arc not these goo.l
cr^unds for the sincere affection which
the Holy Father cherishes for him?
Now these and the successful discharge
of his mission in America are. as I am
well aware, the reasons which have Induced
our Holy Father to confer upon
him the high honor# Into which be is
to-day, amidst this glorious pageant,
Inducted."
A Difllciilt Tuak.
"It is no secret," continued the
archbishop, "that, at the outset, the
first apostolic delegate to our country
had to encounter and overcome some
most perplexing difficulties. Suddenly
transferred from his study and lecture
room and clothed with the Judicial
trmlnc, called on without previous experience
to pass on Intricate cases of
ecclesiastical Jurisprudence, required to
Inaugurate nn entirely new tribunal,
with no precedents to guide hirrr, among
i peoplP with whose language and customs
and traditions he was unacminlritArl
nml In Arerflae tho nlntil
potent la ry powers of an ambassador
from the Holy See to the most flourishng
and progressive church on the face
)f the globe, he had Intrusted to him a
nlsslondemandlngiabllltles of the hlgh??t
order. The difficulties of his position
were enough to dishearten a less
courageous soul. Hut. far from being
Jlscouraged. he seemed to draw Inspiration
and courage from the very magnitude
of the task which had been asilgned
him.
Catholics and non-Catholics watched
with lll-dlsgulsed feelings of mls-glvIngs
his every movement, ready, the
farmer as well as the latter, to criticise
Mid condemn any seeming misstep.
Any serious mistake committed by the
personal representative of the Holy See
might have resulted In disastrous consequences
to the church In the United
States. No one was more conscious of
the delicate position In which he had
been placed than the apostolic delegute
himself, and no one could have such
wonderful prudence and consummate
success. The church of America owes
i debt of lasting gratitude to the now
Cardinal and to Leo XIII. for Intrusting
to one so well qualified the establishment
of die apostolic delegation in
these states. The beneflclent Influence
r>f the delegation Is already f?'lt und
recognised, and this happy Influence
will be continued and be multiplied If
th?* successor of Mgr. Satolll Inherits
his admirable tact In the administration
of the office."
In conclusion he said: "There cannot
but be some element of self-interest In
>ur tendering to him our con*?ratulnllnna
a<i kin rtlM-nflAn ?A tKn /"'nrilltwi
[ate, and in the heartfelt wish anil
prayer that God may bleas him with
many years of life for the good of the
:hurch at largo, and more especially
for the (rood of the church In the United
States, to which he has enjoyed the distinguished
honor of being the first delegate
npostollc?on honor which we
Americans, with pardonable pride In
the Importance of our country among
christian nations, are willing to believe
may, In the case of hir. successors, as in
tils case prove a stepping stone to still
:ilpher honors."
Atthe close of the mass Cardinal Olbjons
rose and said he had the interesting
nnnouncement to make that the
loly father hnd cabled his congratulations
and that he had authorized the
speaker to pronounce the npostollc benediction
upon all those present
At his request. Dr. Rooker read the
cablegram which Cardinal Gibbons
laid ho wished particularly to nay was
spontaneous and not evoked by any
iuggestlon from this side of the Atlantic.
It Is as follows:
'To His Eminence. Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop of Baltimore:
"The extraordinary splendor accompanying
the conferring of tho beretta
jpon Cardinal Satolll, gratifies the holy
rather beyond measure, and he asks
four eminence to express his satisfaction.
Furthermore aB a token of his
Jeep appreciation he empowers your
in tmnnrt nil nma?nt nf Ihn

All diseases come from germs. The germs
