They Are the Great Dfsbursing

Agencies of the Country,
From the New York Sun.
The railroads of the United States ex-
pend in year a sum more than 100000, 600
in excess of the total expenditures of the
United States government, and this COM
putation does not include nearly $3.50, 600, 900
paid in the form of interest upon rail-
road bonds or guaranteed stock and from
sSO,O0O,0OO to 100000 paid in the form of
dividends to stockholders. The railroads,
indeed, are the great disbursing agencies
of the country, handling never less than
billion dollars in year and disbursing
1t all, or practically all, for railroads as
rule do not keep large bank accounts,
and do practically a cash business, turn
ing money rapidly.
An estimate made by one of the scienti-
nc papers short time ago gave as the
average annual expense of American rail-
roads in maintaining the condition of their
roadbeds, $75,0O0,000 besides $35, 200, 900 for
the purchase of rails, ties and sleepers,
and 600 for the construction of new
bridges. The railroads of the country

for printing and advertising So. 500 900
OF the extent to which railroad expenses
are to be sub-dvided. supposing, proba-
ply, that the largest items of expenditure
are Tor cars and engines, fuel, employees,
and terminals. Such is the fact but there
are other large items, and one of the
largest Of these is the item of taxes. Rail
road corporations in the Uni
TED States are heavily taxed. and
they pay collectively in a wear. II has
been estimated, $40,O00O0O There is then
another item which figures largely in all
railroad accounts, the item of legal ex-
penses, railroads being drawn into al
most constant litigation and requiring at
all times the services of a counsel II
is estimated that expenses of American
railroads for professional legal services
amount in year to about $10,O00OO0. and
this is, of couse, exclusive of the sums
requisite to meet claims for personal in
Juries or damage to property. Some of
the large railroad companies expend as
much as a quarter of million dollars
in year for the settlement of such cases
or the payment of judgments recovered.
rms item of expense on all American
railroads is ordinarily put at about
$o,0o0OOO. A serious accident may entail
on railroad company damages so large
as to offset many months of profit, and
some railroads have been crippled for
long periods by such cases.

"MY FATHERS HOUSE"
Rev. j. ID. JOrdan's Sermon at the
First Baptist Church.


The sermon by Rev. John d. Jordan at
the First Baptist Church yesterday morn
ing was the subject of much favorable
comment and discussion among the large
congregation which listened to and enjoy
ed IT,
The subject was my Fathers House."
being the words of Christ found in John
handled by DIR. Jordan, his references to
earthly homes with their attachments and
associations being so touching as to bring
tears to the eyes of many present and
from this he led naturally to the greater
glory and happiness of the heavenly home.
The following extracts from the sermon
give some faint idea of the discourse: :
1T is we'll to think of our fathers
house" said Dr. Jordan. Though father
may be gone and the homestead changed
hands il is pleasant for our memories to
revert TO the scenes of our childhood. 1t
was with peculiar pathos and eloquence
that our Savior referred to His Fathers
house. He had long been away and the
time had almost come for his return"
"Our Fathers house." said DIR. Jordan,
lis a city of refuge. Here we have many
things to disturb perplex and try us. We
often wish we had some place where we
could retire from the conflicts and trials
of life. We win not find that in this
world, but in our Fathers house we will
be free from all petty annoyances of this
world.
at is a City of Rest We all get tired
and worn out sometimes. We keep cher
ishing the hope that the time will come
when will be in position to take our
ease and rest, but as we grow older we
find cares and responsibilities increased
instead of decreased. There the weary
pilgrim shall lay his burdens down and
rest in the presence of his God.
1T is an Abiding City. Here We have
no continuing city. Change and decay
leave their marks upon individuals, cities
and nations. We are often surprised and
distressed at the sudden frequent changes
and we crave something that will abide
That is not to be found in this world of
material things In heaven change and
decay are not known. There is an eternal
day and an eternal city.
"In our Fathers house we shall find a
true home. Many of us have no place we
can call home here. We are renters and
tenters in weary land. Our father in
vites US to come to His House and dwell
in the mansions which He has prepared
for US.
80 troubled heart, there is home,
Beyond the reach of toll and care,
A home where changes never come,
Who would not fain be resting there"
On account of the anniversary services
of the Savannah Port Society at the In
dependent Presbyterian Church there were
no services at the First Baptist Church at
night

airy precaution of reserving his seat

he was absent another passenger seized
his place and refused to vacate II until
forcibly elected As a result an action for
damages was brought against the original
owner of the seat by the intruder, and
a counter-claim for similar damages was
entered by the other side as we'll The
judgment delivered was one which will
commend itself to ninety-nine out of every
hundred travellers. The claim for dam
ages for ejectment was dismissed and the
counter-claim allowed.

least important point in his judgment is
his assertion that the holder of a scot
was entitled TO the reasonable forca to

st. Valentines Missives Burden the

To-day is the day the postoffice people
regard with sentiments anything but
olissful. 1t Is st. Valentines day and the
mails are burdened with missives of all
sorts from tender affection to the extrem-
est ridicule. If old St Valentine had
known the character which the day Of his
foiiy would assume he would certainly
nave regretted the custom which he is
credited with having established.
Every year when ST. Valentines day
comes around there is a trite announce
ment in the newspapers to the effect that
the custom of giving tokens on that day
is dying out" But every year valen-
tines appear as usual in the shop windows,

with sentiment and lacked the necessary

When the transition from the original to
the present custom occurred it would be

rated by the priests of the early Christian
church as substitute for what was a

In their wisdom, deciding that gradual
substitution, or tapering off as il might
ne called, was preferable to the sudden
stoppage of a long-standing habit.
How this came about is told in a gen.

gives the origin Of st. Valentines day in
the following terms:
1T was the practice in ancient Rome
during great part of the month of Feb
ruary to celebrate the Lupercalia, which
were feasts in honor of Pan and Juno.

KILLED ON THE TRACK.
Dudley Frazier Run over by an
Electric Car at Donna Bella.


Dudley Frazier, colored was accident
ally run over and killed by a Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope trolley car
shortly after midnight yesterday at Donna
Belle.
Coroner Goette made two trips to Fraz-
ier's home at Sand Fly station for the
purpose Of holding an inquest over the
body, but did not do so until the second
"trip last night The verdict was that Fra
zier came TO his death by the car running
over him accidentally.
The circumstances surrounding the acct
dent are meager, and, as the negro was
alone when killed, the full facts are not
known. The statement of the car men
before the CorOner's jury probably threw
more light on the matter than did all the
other witnesses. The car was on its last
trip from Isle of Hope, and had no pas
sengers aboard except one negro, who was
riding on the front platform. Both the
motornan and the negro testified that the
car was running eighteen miles an hour,
when an object was seen some thirty feet
in front and in the middle of the track.
The current was at once reversed and
the brakes applied, but to no avail. The
momentum of the car was such that it
could not be stopped until it reached
about fifteen feet the car was stopped and
the men went to see what it had struck.
Frazier was found beneath the car In
a mangled condition and was unable 70
speak. From the manner in which he
was mangled. it was evident he was lay
ing with hands out-stretched across the
track Something to this effect was tes-
tilted, but the men were not positive 1T was
a man. When taken from beneath the
car Frazier was dead, having been knocked
lifeless. The dead man was taken up and
sent to his home at Sand Fly station.
Coroner Goette found evidence that Fra
Zier had been drinking a Thunderbolt and
probably by reason of this, missed the last
car, which, it is said, he intended taking
for his home. The theory is that he be-
came exhausted from the intoXicants
taken and fell on the track and was una

Frazier is a brother of Charles Frazier,
the negro who was recently shot in a fra
cas- at Sand Fly by a negro now in the
police barracks. Frazier was % years of
age and was an FISHERMAN.

ATHLETICS FOR BUSINESS MEN.
Gymnasium Glasses Organized for
Their Benefit.

Their Benefit.
The organizing of gymnasium class
for business men by the Young Mems
ter of much Importance to many men
whose duties during the day require them
to spend many hours bending over their
desks and who have very limited opportu-
mites for proper physical exercise.
The classes do not conflict with the
night classes for young men, as they are
held from 6 to O'Clock Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday afternoons. Already
quite a number of men have expressed
wish TO enter such a class ana MIR. J.
c. Blake, the new physical director hopes
to have a large number of prominent bus
mess men. The object of the class is to
preserve health and prevent disease by
keeping the organs of the body in prop
er condition, thus enabling a man to do
his best work for the longest period of
time. and to develop symmetry of form
and produce agility and quickness of
movement.
The gymnasium has been likened to a
drug store full of good things If used in
diligently, but fun of evils If used ndis-
crimiuately. The Young Mems Christian
Association does not intend that the gym
nasium should be used to train men for
the circus and for professional athletes
nor as place in which to waste time and
energy. 1t is not a play ground but the
place to get health, strength ana vigor
and to put men in better condition TO do
their work in life. Many young men have
been recommended by physicians to take
physical exercise at the Young Mems
Christian Associations splendidly equip
ped gymnasium and have been greatly
benefited by SO doing.

a fine dust with very disagreeable odor

over them gather particles of the fertilf-

which it is very difficult TO get rid of, if
it can be removed at ALL from wearing ap-
