COAL FOR THE SOUTH.
Probably the Last Shipment to Be
Made Before September.
THIRTY MILLION BUSHELS In JUNE.
A Record That Hasn't Been Equaled for
Quite Good Many Years.
RIVER TRADE A VERY LIVELY CORPSE

The wharf presented quite a scene of ac-
tivity all day yesterday, amid the footing
of the whistles and the hurry to get stores
aboard the various boats bound for lower
ports with what will probably be the last
shipment of coal until September. All the
rivermen wore genial smiles yesterday, and
as one boat after another got away the
crowds at the different boat stores began to
diminish.
Up to the present the shipments for June
will reach nearly 80, ,0OO, 600 bushels, making
it one of the largest months for years. The
reason given for it is that during the greater
part of April and May there was very little
rain, and consequently no water. This al
lowed the different firms to fill up their
landings to the utmost capacity. One
gentlemans aid:
Considerable Size of the River Traffic.
f'You have no idea of the immense amount
of coal that goes down the river. Why,
take the shipments of two weeks ago;
several days ago we were talking about it,
and got as near the exact amount of
bushels as could, and figured out that to
have made the same shipments by rail it
transportation and 9A miles of engines for
motive power, and yet they say the river
trade does not amount to much, and want
to take what little wharf we have away
away from us!'
Between 5000, 900 and 5000, 900 bushels
will be gotten away this rise by this even
ing. Joseph Walton & Co. will get out
nearly 100000, they having been better
prepared, with nearly all their boats in port.
The total number sent out is 50 barges, 26
boats, 5 fuel fats and boxboats of coke,
divided between the steamers as published
in Saturday mornings DISPATCH, all of
which got away except the Maggie and Nellie
Walton. They will leave this morning.

CASTING BREAD UPON THE WATERS
Christians Urged to Do Good Even When
1t Does Not Seem to Pay.

Christians Urged to Do Good Even When
1t Does Not Seem to Pay.
The members of the First Unitarian
Church, corner Ross and Diamond streets,
yesterday listened to Rev. C. Howard Will
son, of Newton, Mass. His sermon was
from the text, ''Give and it shall be given
unto you, and it was a modest but earnest
plea for thorough, upright, Christian life,
even when it does not seem to pay. He
launched his subject by first warning his
hearers against the dangers of giving ideal
interpretations to Bible teachings and prin-
ciples. The words of the prophets aud the
sermons of Christ were uttered for all times
and places. We are not to wait until the
millennium before we endeavor to follow the
standards laid down by Christ.
The burden of the discourse was to do
good at all times, and it will return to the
doer hundred fold. The love lavished by
parents even upon disobedient children
gives them that exquisite delight derived
from knowledge of duty done. Even in
a worldly way honesty is the best policy.
Christian acts, even in the face of great pc
cuniary loss, net great returns, and he cited
the case of James Gordon Bennett sending
for Livingstone when Stanley and all the
world thought he was throwing money
away.

H0N0RING THE SAINT.

Celebrations at st. MichaePs Church on the
Anniversary of St. Aloysius' Birth.
Yesterday was a gala day at st. MichaePs
Catholic Church, Plus street, Southside.
The occasion was the celebration of the
birthday anniversary of st. Aloysius, the
patron saint of the church.
There was parade of the congregation
and school children, headed by the Cathe-
dral Band. There were extra services in
the church. The residences along the street
were gaily decorated with red, white and
blue, and altogether the celebration was
quite an imposing event

A NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Likely to Be. Built Shortly by Members
Living in Williamsburg.

A meeting of the Williamsburg Presby-
terian Church will be held this evening to
discuss the question of building a new
church. For long time the congregation
has felt its present edifce was too small.
The membership of the church has been
increasing very rapidly and new building
has become an absolute necessity. Many
meetings have been held, but nothing
definite has yet been decided upon.
The purchase of large plot of ground on
the corner of South and Center streets,
opposite of Reformed Presbyterian Church,
and known as the Doran property, has long
been under advisement. 1t is expected the
trustees will settle this question at their
meeting this evening.

Boston Capitalists Return From inspect
ing Western Interests.
A party of Boston capitalists passed
through the city last evening in a
special car, returning home from a
Western trip. They own 5000 acres
of coal land at Peoria and are inter-
ested in the Watertown Improvement
Company, of South Dakota They claim
they can make good quality of coke out of
the Peoria coal, and, like the virginians,
expect to shut the Connellsville product out
of Chicago markets.
In the crowd were Joseph Cook, Salem;
George Vandyke, Franklin Gregory, Will

NOT A SUDDEN RESOLVE.
The Money Panic Knocked Out the New
Hotel Project for Time.

Hotel Project for a Time.
Chief Clerk William Crosby, of the An
derson, was surprised yesterday when he
saw his scheme to build 81, ,OOO, 900 hotel
on the site of the Speer Plow Works un-
folded in THE DISPATCH. He had been
working on it for over year, and at one
time held an option on the property like
Shaw g. Co. and Thomas Dickson. He had
large amount of capital subscribed, but
the money panic came on and the project
had to be dropped for time.
Mr.. Crosby, however, is going ahead to
organize a joint stock company to build such
hotel His idea is to include the Fourth
ward schoolhouse in the property, if it can
be had, and have beautiful entrance from
Penn avenue to the hotel. He says the
ground will have to be graded about eight
feet to keep out food in the river like the
last rise

THE thrift AND FOREIGN TRADE.

The new tariff has been in full effect only
one month. One of It's most important pro-
visions. the increase of duty on tin plates, did
not 90 into effect until July l. its most i'm
portant provision, the removal OF the duty on
sugar. went into effect April 1. Hence the
official report of foreign commerce for the year
ending June so, which has Just been published,
cannot exhibit the full results of the new tariff
for even a single month Of the twelve, and
shows the effect Of the change rs to sugar for
only three months Of the twelve. let the
figures bear eloquent testimony to the wisdom
of the new tariff, and refute in the most con-
elusive manner the claims of Free Traders re-
carding this tariff and the Protective system
generally.
They claim that protective duties deprive the
country of foreign markets for It's products
But exports Of domestic products were larger
during the fiscal year Just closed than III any
other wear in the history Of the country except
ing 1891. when the value was S11, 900, 600
greater. In that year the value of breadstuffs
exported was S27O,332, $40, while last year the
partial failure of crops reduced it to S127 ,6GS,
O92 Deducting this one class OF products, OF
which exports depend largely upon the crops
here ana ABROAD, III II lOu!lu tndt thc NdJuC VI
all other exports of domestic products last year
was S744,567,473, against S690367,901 in
the previous year, and 1913, 593,42S in the
fisca! year 1881. The increase Of more than
20 per cent, in comparison with the one year
in the entire history of the country when eX-
ports were exceptionally large shows plainly
enough that there has been no such closing Of
foreign markets against American products as
Free Traders hold TO he the necessary c0nse-
uoncc Of Protection
II should he observed, also. that the exports
of provisions and cattle, which many foreign
nations have endeavored by adverse legislation
or regulations to restrict, have been almost as
large in the aggregate as they ever were in any
previous year. The largest value of these
products ever exported in any year was SLIP
449.O13 in 1881, but during the year Just
closed the value was $3.50, S72,S74, a decrease
less than the regulations in France alone would
abundanty explain. In provisions a decrease
of eighteen millions appears, but in live cattle
| an increase of sixteen millions. A more impor-
tant fact is that the aggregate value Of all do
nestle exports, exclusive Of breadstuffs pro-
visions, cattle and cotton, which was only
| Sl93.442 500 in 1881, and had risen 10 S272,-
| 3O5. e67 in the year 1890, was 1888 9S3, 633
during the fiscal year just closed, showing m
increase of more than 40 per cent in ten years
1t il certainly folly To assert that exports arc
prevented by the Protective policy, when such
an increase mas occurred in the hundreds Of
articles taken together which are not included
| in the classes above named.
