MORE STEEL.
Big Concerns Come to an
Understanding.

And now another rumor of a steel
combine comes from New York. 1t Is
stated on fair authority that all the
steel interests of the country have ar
rived at a definite understanding and
that companies with combined capital
of $5O0,O00,O 900 are in accord.
The parties to the new agreement
which is said to amount to a pool of
all the steel plants In the country, are
the American Steel & Wire Co., the
Federal Steel Co, the Carnegie Co., and
the Pressed Steel Car Co.
Those interested claim that no formal
trust is contemplated. Instead the steel
magnates have formed a gentlemen
agreement" one with another just as
the anthracite coal presidents do year
ly By the terms the companies agree
on schedule of rates that Will give
fair profits to all but which shall be
actually regulated by the laws of sup
ply and demand. 1t is said that one of
the first results of the agreement has
been the signing of a contract between
the Pressed Steel Car Company and the
Carnegie interest whereby the former
contracts to purchase all it's steel of the
Carnegie mills, in consideration of
which the Carnegie people agree to re-
tire from the building of cars, leaving
that business entirely in the hands of
the Pressed Steel Car Company.
When shown the report of the lu-
mored agreement last night Philip W.
Moen fourth vice president of the
American Steel and Wire COMPANY
stated that he knew nothing whatso-
ever of any such agreement.

NO FAIRS.
Free Will Baptists Danish
Them From Their Church.

The congregation of the Wellington
street Free Baptist church is rejoicing
over the success of the new policy
adopted at the time Rev. A c. Thomp-
son took charge of the church last May
In the nine months of the new pastors
leading, there have been added to the
church thirty-two new members and
thirty converts have been the result of
his preaching. In the last ten days there
have been three baptismal services held
and thirteen candidates baptized.
The congregation attributes this sue
cess to the fact that there have been
no fairs or sales held at the church
since the new order was adopted. They
believe that such are not the province
of the church. The house of God is not
house of merchandise, they say, and
acting on this belief they have kept all
that they consider worldly from their
doors.
There has been no sensationalism,
but quiet, steady growth in the
preaching of Rev. Mr.. Thompson, and
it Is as much to his efforts as to the fact
of holding no fairs that those promi-
nent in the church attribute the-results
which are to them very gratifying.
Financially, the church is well off. The
building is not all paid for yet, but the
balance is small and the collections
taken at the regular services are more
than ample to cover the running ex-
penses and the interest on the debt.
No special services are being held
now Besides the regular Sunday SER
vices there are two meetings during
the week, but there is nothing of what
is commonly known as the revival ma
ture about them.
