CONSOLIDATION COMPLETE.
oEABOARD AIR LINE DEAL
ENDS AFTER LONG BATTLE.
The Georgia and Alabama Be-
comes Part of the Great
System of Railways.

Consolidation of the Seaboard Air
Line system with the Florida Central
and Peninsular, the Georgia and Ala
bama and other lines has been the
subject of much railway talk in the
south for the past week. The syndi-
cate representing the lines met in
Baltimore last Saturday and perfec Jed
the consolidation, which will be known
as the Seaboard Airline railway or
the Greater Seaboard,
Mr.. John Shelton Williams of Rich
mond, Virginia, will be the president
of the consolidated lines. He was
president of the three systems merg-
ed into the Greater Seaboard.
President Williams made one Of the
hardest fights known in railroad his
tory before he accomplished the OBJ
iect he sought in bringing the lines
together.
He was opposed in the scheme by
Thomas F. Ryan, a stakeholder in one
of the lines, who was backed, it is said,
by competing systems Of the Seaboard.
Eighteen injunction suits were at
tempted by the opposition before Pres
ident Williams and his supporters
were able to overcome the fierce fight
made on his scheme.
President Williams is only SO years
old. He is a member of the banking
firm of J. L. Williams & Sons, of Rich
mond. He first gained prominence in
the financial world by writing a finan-
cial estimate of America prior to the
the McKinley-Bryan campaign. The
paper was widely read by fnanciers
the country, and since that
time Mr.. Williams has been regarded
as one of the leading American fnan-
ciers.

The First Cookbook,


To the Romans belong the honor Of
having produced the first European
cookery book, and, though the author
ship is uncertain, 1t is generally attrib-
uted to C9lius Apicus, who lived un-
der Trajan. la A. d. Here are two
recipes from this ancient collection:
First, for sauce to be eaten with
boiled fowl, put the following ingredi.
ents into mortar: Aniseed, dried mint
and lazer root; cover them with vine
gar, add dates and pour In liquamen Ga
distilled liquor made from large fish
which were salted and allowed to turn
putrid In the SUM, oil and small
quantity Of mustard seeds, Reduce all
to proper thickness with sweet wine
warmed, and then pour this same over
your chicken, which should previously
be boiled in anisced water"
The second recipe shows the same
queer mixture of ingredients: Take
wheelbarrow of rose leaves and
pound In mortar; add to 1t brains of
two pigs and two thrushes boiled and
mixed with the chopped up yolll Of egg,
oil. vinegar pepper and wine. Mix
and pour these together and stew them
steadily and slowly till the perfume Ia
developed. ."--Chambers' Journal.

fair was settled, but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him, and he
forthwith returned to the trader and
asked him If he had received the $S he
had already paid into court. The trad
er looked surprised and said he had
received nothing.
"Then, since you have remitted the
debt, that So is NINE" said the Hal
tian.
Accordingly, he went off TO the court
to present his claim. The magistrate
at once committed him to prison. A
consul who had heard the story asked
the magistrate what the Haitian was
sent to prison for.
"For contempt of court" was tho

special dispatch from Shanghai, dated
August 8, the advancing column of the
allied forces were reported there yes
terday to have reached point thir-
ty-fve miles beyond Tien Tsln. Moth
ing from any other point corroborates
this statement In fact, the Stand
ard goes SO far as to say that it fears
the real advance, apart from prelimi-
nary measures, has not yet begun.
Tien Tsin dispatches, dated July 81,
tell of an action which is termed a
Reconnaissance between the Japan
ese and Chinese two miles beyond the
Hsi Ku arsenal in which the Japan
csc withdrew after suffering thirty
casualties. The Tien Tsin correspon-
dent of the Standard, under date of

move forward without waiting for the
British.

regret the independent action taken
by the American association and the
China association on the ground that
it is injudicious." He says: "The
settlement being International, petty
jealousies must disappear. The China
association is of little local influence
Presumably he refers to the American
Asiatic association.
