More Chance for Heroes.

Washington.—All large cfties and railroad systems in the United States will unite to form an organisation to confer medals for bravery, if a plan proposed by the American Cross of Honor is carried out. President Herndon of the society says support for the movement already has been promised by some of the largest cities and by heads of several of the most important railway systetms. The idea is to have hero medals awarded at annual conventions held in this city.
