The Transcontinental Association.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-General Traffic Manager
Kimball and General Passenger Agent Moore, of
the Union Pacific, passed through the city yes
terday on their way to attend the meeting of the
trancontinental association tomorrow D. f.
Goddard, general traffic manager of the Santa
Fe, and Thomas Miller, general freight agent
of the Burlington & Missouri River also left
yesterday for the same place None of them eX-
press much hope that the association can sur
vive unless the trpartite alliance is relegated to
oblivion. The conference will have number Of
knotty problems to solve. The Santa Fe will not
cancel its notice of withdrawal unless the tripar
tite should be dissolved. The Union Pacific peo-
pie while they are heartily sick of the
alliance, will yet be afraid to promise ITS
dissolution for the simple reason that president
Cables boldly expressed determination to hold
them to the contract has efTectually smoothed
any independence they might have possessed.
The Texas & Pacific will not come back into the
association unless it be transformed into a pool,
and that could not be done without running
squarely afoul OF the trpartite deal The
Atlantic & Pacific will not compromise except it
be granted additional concessions, account Of
the extension Of its service through to the
Pacific coast. With many complications to
deal with, there is very little hope that any
degree of success will be attained at tomorrows
conference.

T.iKE FACTIONS.

There is wholesome application possible
from the recital of the following racy incl
dent. The story runs that Russell Sage, the
Wall street prince, that was, poked his head
in at his New York Office one morning last
week, where he had not been since the Bird
of July last, and told the "boys'' he would
be with them again by the first of October.
Mr.. Sage is only 6S years old, but the
shock that followed that dropping of 81, 600, =
600 taught him and his physicians that there
had been altogether too much of the work
that is nine-tenths worry in his life. Now
he sees that he must go alower, or lie down
under ''six feet of earth, " and cease going at
all. He says he hadn't had a vacation since
he was 30 years OF age. Other men, who
haven't been so actively pushing for money
rs Mr. Sage has been, but are striving for
fame or political honors, are hearing the same
warning. Secretary Of the Treasury Folger
is at home, worn and sick from overwork,
and the resplendent Mr.. Blaine has to call a
halt TO his enthusiastic friends, while he

THE religious papers are now discussing the
question of hymn reading in church. The old
custom is for the minister, announcing
hymn, to read it aloud Many people are tired
OF this. They consider it a relic of the old times
when hymn books were scarce and congrega-
tons were ignorant Very few ministers know
how to read hymns IN an edifying manner
Most OF them give the rhymes a schooboy twang,
or else read in such q monotonous way as to bore
the people. The prevailing opinion is that it is
sufficient for the minister simply to state the
number of the hymn or to give the first line In
