form of impiety to me. is to let the hu.

Thoughts are-like mother-of- pearl.
They alter each second; they haye in

American caste is something like the
mist on the mountain side. 1t looks as

When drab souls get up to heaven I
suppose they'll be set little to one side
where the glory can't fade them.
Thus fell the tall pine: Il saw the
beautiful shaft tremble; ahrill, mu-

NO NEW RAILROAD.

The letter OF President John Shelton
Williams, OF the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, to Governor Tyler, of Vir-
GINA, explaining why the projected
line from Richmond, Vs., to Washing.
ton. D. c., will not be built gives full
confirmation to the belief that COM
munity OF interests has been created in
the two railroads making up the line
from Washington to Richmond.
1t was learned from an officisl source
that the railroads which have become
a party to this Community of inter-
eslsn plan are the follog wing: Pennsyi'
ysuia. Baltimore and Ohio, Atlantic
Coast Line, Southern Railway, Sea.
board Air Line and The Chesapeake
and Ohio.
The plan provides for actual joint
ownership of the two roads making up
the existing mail route from the ma
tionsl capital to Richmond. 1t Is the TO-
tention to organize new company to
take over the control of the two corpo'
rations, which are the Richmond, FEED.
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad and
the Washington Southern Railroad
The fret named company owns the line
from Richmond to Quantico and the
latter the line from Quantico to the Po-
tomac river at Washington. Under
this arrangement the ownership OF these
lines will be vested 10 one company In
which the railroads that are parties to
the plan will have an equal voice.
Oae OF the first things TO be done
when this is accomplished is 10 be the
building OF second track from Rich
mond to the Potomac river to give bet
ter facilities for handling the enlarged
business that will necessarily follow
The money for the work is already 10
hand. Between Washington and Rich
mond the line will become an open
highway for all the roads interested
aud under the plan the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad would be able to
run trains TO the Virginia capital
if it be SO desired. The manage.
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio
does not contem plate such move at present
and 4, is considered unlikely that either thii
company or the Pennsylvania Railroad Will
undertake. running its own trains south o.
Richmond.
What is expected to be the next stage o.
the community Of interests plan Is an ar
ran cement by which the Baltimore and Ohi6
will handle between Washington and New
York a share of the through train service be
