DR.. Hawthorne Hits Back.

DR.. Hawthorne, the well known Baptist
minister of Atlanta, doesn't relish the
remark made Saturday in the Christian
convention now in session in that city by
one of the women delegates. Her remark
was that she wanted to see DR.. Haw-
thorne's soul converted, and suggested
that he be made the subject of the pray
ers Of the convention. This remark, it
seems, was called forth by the fact that
DR. Hawthorne does not think women
should speak in the churches.
From his pulpit on Sunday morning DR..
Hawthorne referred to the remark and
said he was one of those ''incurable fools"
to be found in the south, who
believe the Bible to be the word
of God, and that it means
what it says. lie declared he believed
that what Paul wrote concerning women
was inspired by God He said he didn't
think the Christian convention could
change his belief if it prayed till Judgment
day.
There was no good reason why DIR.
Hawthorne should have been particularly
disturbed by what was said of him in the
Christian convention.
The convention is composed of we'll
meaning people, who are doing what they
believe to be right. In such a gathering,
however, there are always a few people
who think they know more ofreligious mat
tiers than anybody else, and who become
aggressive, and sometimes extensively so,
toward those who refuse to adopt their
views. As a rule, they do not possess
great deal of intelligence, though there
is no room to doubt their zeal or their
sincerity. Not infrequently they do the
cause in which they are engaged more
harm than good, because they repel peo-
pie by their intolerance. The only way
to deal with them successfully is to let
them alone. They cannot be convinced
that they are ever in the wrong, and to
notice what they do or say of personal
nature leads them to think they are meet
ing with success, or that they are being
prosecuted because of the work they are
doing. They never for a moment admit
that they themselves have committed an
error.
DR. Hawthorne's reputation is so well
established that he could very well have
afforded to let pass unnoticed the intima-
ton that his soul needs converting.

DIR. Hawthorne, the pastor of the First
Baptist church, has come out in a card

the lady delegates had taken in the con-
yentiOn, and one of these good women, at
a meeting held in the First Baptist
church few nights ago, when several
Christian workers were present, prayed
for the doctors conversion.
Nothing of a sectional character has
been heard in the discussion except a
reference every now and then to the
colored brother The best of feeling has
prevailed and the relationship has ever
been cordial The convention will adjourn
tomorrow night.

CHRISTIAN WORKERS.
The Barclay Mission at Atlanta to Be
Run on the McAuley Plan.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov 14-The fifth davis
session of the Worlds Convention of
Christian Workers to-day was largely
attended. The meetings have been stead
lily growing in interest. Tomorrow will
be the last day of the annual session.
After devotional exercises, the morning
session began with short, but practical
address by Rev. j. Calverton on mission
work in Milwaukee, which greatly i'm
pressed the convention.
correspondence Work for Prisoners
was the subject of an interesting paper
from Mrs. NJ. Q. kimOau, of F'redonia
n. y, which provoked considerable dis
cussiOn.
Rev. II. A. Torrey. of Chicago, Ills.
and H. a. Hadley, of Jerry McAulev
Mission of New York, gave interesting
accounts rs to how mission ought to be
conducted.
Religious Census and its Place as an
EVangelistic Agency was ably discussed
by H. A. Clifford, of New Haven, Conn.

sion of this city viii be converted into a
mission like that founded by the famous
Jerry McAuley in New York city
A movement has been started in this
direction and the indications point to its

The weather for the convention has
been delightful and the delegates have
been fairly treated to a taste of the

Wanamaker's Costly Schemes.

Mr.. Wanamaker, when he was Post
master General, succeeded in attracting a
good deal of attention to himself by the
schemes he proposed. However success
ful the schemes may have been in'making
him known to the public, they We're costly
ones to the government. The Columbian
postage stamps of large denominations
for instance, proved to be a source of
heavy loss to the government MIR. Wanna
maker believed that vast quantities of
them would be sold to stamp collectors,
and to people who would desire them as
souvenirs. But he was mistaken. The
market for them proved to be limited,
and when the present Postmaster General
took charge Of the postofice department
he had to cancel the contract which Mr.
Wanamaker had made in order to save
the government from further loss.
In his report just issued the First AS
sistant Postmaster General says that Mr.
Wanamaker's system Of free delivery, in
towns and villages, ranging in population
from 500 TO 1000, has proven a great fail
ure, and he recommends that no further
appropriation be made for it. When the
system was inaugurated it seemed to
cause an increase in the post of
fee receipts of the towns and vii
lagos in which it was in operation, but
the novelty of the thing soon wore off and
the people found it more satisfactory to
90 to the post Office for their mail. In
most small towns the people find it pleas
ant to go to the post office and meet
friends and acquaintance, with
whom they exchange local news
and discuss the leading topics
of the day. The system, if generally in
troduced, would cost about $4,000 900 a
year. In view of the fact that it does
not cause an increase in the revenues it is
not at all strange that the First Assistant
Postmaster General does not think it ad-
visable to continue it.
Another scheme that Mr.. Wanamaker
thought would be appreciated is a free
delivery system in the rural districts.
This would cost at least $40, 00O GEO a year
and would bring nothing into the treasury.
1t will be abandoned, in all probability,
before any trial of it is made

The Central,s Annual Report.

The annual report Of the Central rail-
road, a synopsis of which was published
in the MORNING News yesterday, does
not contain anything encouraging for the
holders Of the junior securities and the
stock of the road. The gross receipts Of
the company in 1891 were the largest in
its history. In that year they amounted
10 s.. sos. 47737. That amount included
the receipts from the Ocean Steamship
Company. The net receipts were 81 ,95S,-
Clip.
Last year-the year covered by the re-
port published yesterday the gross re-
ceipts were :, 379, 16S. %, and the net re
ceipts were S743,O1l5s. As compared
with 1891, therefore, there was a falling
of in the gross receipts Of 81 1876, 709. IA,
and in the net receipts of 81, 235, 9OO.54.
There was great depression in business
during the year, and that accounts for
the falling of in the gross receipts. The
falling off in the net receipts, however, Is
surprisingly large, and is accounted for
onlyon the ground that it costs very near
ly as much to operate the road when bust
ness is bad as when it is good. This is

Steamship Company In 1891 the net
earnings were about 20 per cent Of the
gross earnings. Last year the net earn

the gross earnings.
But even the small amount Of the net
earnings of the system were not available

1t may be that it viii be possible to
make much better showing during the
present year. Business promises 10 be
better, and as the road is now in good
physical condition, the cost of operating
it ought not to be so great If the net earn
ings can be made the same proportion of
the gross earnings they were in previous
years, it will be possible to effect a re
organization that will give the junior Sc
curity-holders something. They cannot
expect much, however, unless there is a
better showing of net earnings than is
made in the last report.

The champion sluggers were ready YES
terday to sign papers to take the big
prize fight to Jacksonville. so the tele-
graph informed us. jacksonville had
made the deposit and offered the bruisers
the required assurances. Yet. yester-
days Times-Union said "It looks like
the jig is up. There is strong probability
that Key West will get the great fight.
There is something peculiar about this.
1t looks very much like somebody has
been yictimizing the Times Union report
ers for the purpose of throwing the anti
fight element in Jacksonville off their
guard. Key West has no money up to
buy the exhibition of brutality. as Jack
sonyille has. The ministers, church peo-
pie and law loving citizens of that city are
working earnestly to prevent the fight.
But they are advised that no number or
length of resolutions that they may adopt
against the evil of prize fighting and the
promoters of the enterprise win stop the
thing. What must be done is to force the
authorities to action. Such sentiment
must be worked up that the governor will
not dare disregard it. The mayor Of
Jacksonville has taken the right stand :;
the fight will not be permitted within the
city limits. But there are a number Of
suburbs open, and to permit the fight in
one of them would be as bad as to permit
it in the city The governor can close
every city, town, village and hamlet in
the state against the bruisers. And he
should be required to do it,
