COTTON WORRYING THE BEARS.
Even Europe Is Waking up LittIe-LiVer-
pools Stock 800, 900 Bales Short.

The New York Sun says; Bad crop
news and strong cables put cotton up
Is to 25 points yesterday. The govern
ment weekly report was a large factor
ia the speculation, which amounted to
800, 600 bales. The outside public is
again taking hold on the bull side,
though much of the weak short inter-
est has been forced to cover. Liver
pools spot sales jumped to y, 600 bales,
which looks as though Lancashire had
put on its thinking cap and was get
ting little worried, knowing that
Liverpool's stocks in store and adoat
are over 100000 bales less than a year
ago.
Big buying orders came from the
south, the west and Wall street, while
local room traders were also buying on
a liberal scale and Europe purchased.
Europe is not in full sympathy with
the rise, however. June and July
closed else, AUGUST at 9.03c., Septem-
Der at 8.6Sc. October at S.50c-, and
January at S.3Sc.

WENT into EFFECT SUNDAY.
q. 6 A. NOW PART OF SEA-
BOARD SYSTEn.
Earnings of the Consolidated
Roads Expected to Be a Till
lion a rIonth.

Dawson isnow on one of the greatest
railway systems in the country.
At a meeting of tine directors and
stockholders of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, the Florida Central and Pen
iusula Railroad and the Georgia and
Alabama Railway last week arrange
ments were perfected by which the
Seaboard Air Line Railway assumed
the operation on July of the Geor-
ola and Alabama railway and the Flor
ida Central and Peninsula system as
divisions of the Seaboard Air Line
System.
At these meetings the necessary
steps were taken for the immediate con-
solidation with the Seaboard Air Line
Railway of some six or seven individu-
al roads embraced in the system, ag-
gregating more than $500 miles of road,
the earnings of which will be CONSOLE
dated with those of the main stem OF
the system from Richmond to Ridge
way.
1t is further announced that more
than 80 per cent. of the capital stock
of the Georgia and Alabama Railway
has already assented to the plan by
which the capital stock of the company
will be retired and replaced by the
new securities of the Seaboard system.
The jurisdiction of the general Off
GERS of the Seaboard Air Line system
has been extended over the two sys-
TENS thus absorbed, and President
Williams announces several important
changes, among them being the APP
pointment of Vice-President and Cen
eral Manager Gabbett of the Georgia
and Alabama Railway as superin-
tendent of the fourth division OF the
Seaboard Air Line system, from Co
lumbia, SIC, to Jacksonville Fla, and
from Savannah, Ca, to Montgomery,
Ala, including branch lines. General
Freight and Passenger agent A. Pope
OF the Georgia and Alabsma becomes
assistant general freight agent of the
SeabOard system, with headquarters at
Savannah.
President John Shelton Williams
when asked whether the contraction
in general business was being felt as
yet replied ''The slackening 10 bus
mess which is reported in different
parts of the country has not begun to
manifest itself with us. On tie con-
trary the movement of freight and pas
sengers over the Seaboard is growing
uninterruptedly, and the only difficulty
we have to contend with just now is a
serious shortage in cars. We cannot
begin to ful uish the equipment re-
quired to transport the business that
is being offered to us. We are running
many extra trains to move this traffic,
and at a meeting of our directors this
week | found it necessary to recon-
end the purchase of 1000 additional
freight cars, for which we will send

out specifications to the car builders at
once. The linking together OF the
Florida Central and Peninsula and the
Georgia and Alabama divisions OF the
Seaboard Air Line will mean large
increase in business to all parts of the
system. The old main line of the Sea-
board will hereafter enjoy large BUS
mess in Florida products, especially
in the line of fruits and vegetables, Of
which it has heretofore had no share,
and the business which it will derive
from the Georgia and Alabama in the
way of lumber and other Georgia prod
ucts will be considerable. | think it
will be but a little while now before
the earnings of the consolidated system
will reach and exceed a million dollars
month. l have not, of course. receiv-
ed a report of the earnings of all d.
visions of the system for the last quar-
ter of the fiscal year ending July 30,
but the earnings of all the roads en-
braced in the system for the six months
ending April l show that we had
earned about 100 per cent more than
the interest on all outstanding bonds
for that period.

CHILDREN AS TEACHERS.
Rev. John Van Schaick'- Sermon at
the Church OF Our Father.

Rev. John Van schsick pastor of the
teenth and L Streets northwest, took for
his text service yesterday morning the
words of Isaiah. xi:s. And a litile child
shall lead them" Mr. Van Schaick said :
Il can find no subject more truly rever-
ent and deyout than the hand of a little
child. 1 cannot, perhaps, pay a stronger
tribute TO the guiding and directing power
of children Than by referring TO one Of
George Eliot's most touching chapters in
'Silas Warner In old DAYS there we're
angels who came and took men by the
hand and led Them away from the city OF
destruction
II fancy that most OF you need not look
very far to find evidence of children as our
teachers. Sad, indeed. is that home into
which they have never come. Never really
dcsolate that freside about which they
have once played. even If they abode, as it
were, but night. They teach patience
and forbearsnce. they inspire with cour-
age and resolution. By the solemn mys-
terry of their coming they poin: the way
up TO God.
"All that | would say about children az
guides, instructors. or helpers is summed
up by that painting in this city. called "A

few other canvases do. because II is real
and touches such lender cords. Side by
side are seated. in a tossing boat a griz-
Zled old oarsman and tender little maid

sinewy hands. bending his mighty shoul-
ders to the task of cieaving waves and

which shall make the worlds great heart
beat AMI the worlds mind thrill with joy.
On the other hand. he may be man like
that wild and desperate keniuckian. who
stood up in the capitol OF his native State
and shot down the approaching form of

The .ppiicnbiIity of Christianity TO
Modern Conditions A Continuing
Spiritual Force Making TOR fericc-
tion-The obsoIctcncss of Antique
Forms of Religion aud Worship.

Rev Dr. F. N. Bristol preached TO a
large congregation yesterday morning at
the Metropolitan NJ. E. Clurch. Four-and-
half and Streets northwest. The Pres
ident occupied his regular pew. Secretary
Gage and Mrs. Gage were present The
pastor took his text Lowest thou me-"
from John xxi:17 He said in part:
christianity is always modern. II can
never become antiquated and obsolete. be-
cause il is spiritual force in human life
making for perfection Ii is always fresh
and new because immortal, like the IoSer
of life and the power of light in nature.
ever-giving new beauty to flower CT new
glory to the stars. Forms grow old and
decay, words become obsolete, languages
die. but ideas, principles, truths, and
moral forces live on forever.
THE world does not need new gospels.
but new applications OF the old gospel to
the new problems 10 the new phases of life
and society. We do NOT need a new Bible,
but new insight, new analyses, new in err
pretaiions. new adaptations Of the old
Bible. This day the old sun comes to us,
but new light bursts from that old sun and
on the old bush. new grapes purple on the
old vines.
Jesus modernized religion. In his
teachings it is no longer vague, dim.
transcendental. ancient, musty ceremony
or philosophy. The Master set forth tie
truth in modern garb. lie applied it to the
existing conditions. Put it in the thought
forms OF the common people. No teacher
ever spake more clearly. He was never
rnalr Is,t
not classical Greek. II was the Greek OF
the people. of the mari and shop and field.
not OF the professor and the school.
III we have a lesson here il is that the
Church's ritual. ceremony. preaching must
be in the language Of the people. and the
Church must never lcse the modern spirit
of true and vital Christianity. The ques-
tion is not how old. how ancient. is this
or that form by which Christianity was
adapted to the Middle Ages, but how truth,
religious truth. may be applied 10 the
worlds new modes of thinking md new
ways of living. We are less disposed 10
yenerate the antique forms of religion than
TO rejoice and glory in the adaptation CT
the power of religion 10 the needs of mod
ern life.
Like a sweetly singing bird. imprisoned
in a cage, like candle hidden under
bushel. religion had been confined to forms
and ceremonies. Jesus set the sweet bird
free 10 fill all the sky with song. He
placed the candle on the stand TO give
light TO all who are in the house
world And this he did by enuncisting the
law of love. love the law of life. love the
creative. regeneratire. immortalizing pow
er in human character and society. His
great question to every soul and age is:
Lowest thou me-? Love is the only creed
be demands of any man.
