DR. Cecil Of Richmonds
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Winston Salem, N. c., May 20.-The
baccalaureate sermon in connection with
Selam Female College commencement
was delivered in the old home Moravian
church at eleven o'clock Sunday morning
by Rev DR.. Russell Cecil, pastor IF the
Second Presbyterian church, Richmond,
Va. The congregation was large and APP
preciative while the discourse was beau
tiful, ornate and impressive. The text
was chosen from st. Luke 10: 1899.
Dr. Cecil directed special aJtantion to
Mary, whose life and character he term
ed model and worthy of emulation. She
sought Jesus for instruction, she was do
cile and of eager mind. Martha was diff
ferent She was interested more in en-
PERTAINING than in feeding her souI-for-
getting that HE came not to Re minis
tered unto, but to minister" Iontinu-
ing Dr. Cecil said: I'VE have more Mar
thas today than Mary's. We have more
people who prefer to work rather than
pray and sit at the feet of Jesus. We
need more men and women Of prayer.
Mary made a wise choice-thaJ good part
which could not be taken away from her.
Martha was interested more in household
and material affairs, as so many men and
women are today. We should not become
slaves to the world The bread of spir''
ual life is the one thing needfu'.
Turning to the graduating class DR..
Cecil admonished them to do like Mary
who availed herself of every opportunity
to manifest her love-to anoint friends
and encourage them while they live. Mary
unintentionally erected monument which
still stands. 1t was constructed of love,
self sacrifice, labor and devotion.
In concluding DR.. Cecil said There's
a place for every child of Cod Let US
sit at His feet Young ladies, what bet
ter example could | give you? urge you
to do like Marv-to teach religion as well
as give secular instruction

A Pitiable Case.

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Toon yesterday sent to Captain c. B. Den
sen, secretary of the State Board of
Charities, a letter received from Mont
gomery county, telling of the sad case OF
a thirteen-year- old white boy confined IN
jail there. The boy had stolen his faith
er's money and the only way to keep him
from running away from home has been
to confine him in the county jail. The
letter is a plea for a reformatory for
young criminals.

SIMON BURNS STEPS DOWN.
No Longer General Master Workman of
the knights of Labor.

the hEISnUS Oh laDOT.
Indianapolis, Nov 1S.-After re-
electing Simon Burns, of Pittsburg,
general master workman of the
knights of Labor Saturday the general
assembly reconsidered the action, and
in Burns place elected Henry A.
Hicks, of New York. as the executive
head Of the order. There was much
warm talk, the trouble beginning when
the assembly elected as executive COM
mittee l. d. Chamberlain, of Colorado;
Isaac H. Sanderson, of Toronto and
T. J. O'Reilly, of Brooklyn-all old
members and all, as has been known
for several months, opposed to the con-
tinuance of Burns as the head of the
national organization.
Burns objected to the board as elect
ed, and claimed that an established
precedent gave him the right to name
six delegates to the general assembly,
from which number alone the assem-
bly, could make it's board. This Gre
ated an uproar, several of the older
members of the order taking the floor
and demanding reconsideration Of
the vote by which Burns had been re-
elected. When order was finally re-
stored the further consideration of the
matter was deferred until 7:3O D. M,
when Burns election was reconsidered
and Hicks elected master workman.

tary. The next meeting will be held

The St Paul's 1000 Cars.

1t is doubtful if one could form
any sort of guess as ito how many
cars-passenger and freight-such a
company as the c., nj. and st. P. Op-
crates. The number lis nearly 10000.
The last annual report shows there are
S97 engines to drag them. The aver
age distance each ton of freight was
carried was over 200 miles, and it
earned for the road STA per mile per
ton. The capital stock of the COM
pany was $44, 400, of preferred
stock, and 500, 800 of common
stock. The total funded debt was
$126, 941 800, a decrease of $4,205, 500
during the year.
The gross earnings for the year were
$40, 1863, 012, of which $14 1891 500 were
profit. This seems large until one re-
members it is interest money to be
paid on the many millions spent in con-
structing and developing the plant.
There are bonds ON which interest
must be paid and the two kinds OF
stock, preferred and common, that
merit a dividend, total of something
like $4,000. But it is a prosperous
road and Wisconsin, where it began
and which includes more mileage than
any other state, rejoices in it's pros
perity. Such a company is forever ex-
tending and strengthening itself 1t
bought a number of small lines last
year.
One can but marvel at the ability
in the operation not only OF
the plant itself, but in the finances.
