The syndicate is formed to acquire
100000 shares, representing the ma
Jority holdings in Louisville and Nash
vile, now controlled either by direct
ownership of j. P. Morgan & Co., or
under the option given by that firm
to the interests represented by John
W. Gates and Edwin Hawley. The
100000 shares are to be taken over at
$50. involving an outlay of $45, 900, 900.
In return for the amount of money
advanced the syndicate will receive

louisville and Nashville stock was
strong and active yesterday on the an
nouncement that the plan for caring
for the majority holdings had been
completed.
Although rumored for a number of
days that the control of the Louisville
and Nashville would finally be vested
with the Atlantic Coast Line, the de-
tails were not definitely determined, ii
is understood, until Thursday, when the
Gates and Hawley interests were noti-
fled that the option would be exercis-

Changes in Capitalization.
What is to be done with the minor
ity stock of the Louisville and Nash
Vile could not be ascertained yester-
day. and in fact no official announce
ment of the syndicate transaction was
made during the day.
Louisville stock, which closed at
149A, opened up for an advance of
u point, and advanced to 1885, or 5A
points. The stock reacted, however, on
realizing, and closed at 153h, or a net
gain on the days dealings of 3A points.
I'm some quarters this was regard
cd as a definite assurance that some
thing would be done for the minority
holders, but, as already indicated, there
was no information on that point.
1T is, of course, thought that some
changes will be made in the capitali-
Zation of the Atlantic Coast Line Com

UNCLE MINGO'S
PERSIMMON FARM.

After supper Uncle Mingo went out
with the waiter to see a little of the
town. They brought up in a saloon,
where. seated at a table, they slipped
two foaming mugs of Savannah brewed
beer.
"Dere amt no flies on dis beer" re-
marked the waiter, complacently.
Il hope not" said Uncle Mingo,
looking anxiously into his mug.
II mean it's fine" explained the
waiter.
20 yes. it's all right" said Uncle
Mingo, but after all, dere amt no
beer wat kin compare to de 'simmon
beer we use to had out to Postum Hol-
ler."
Use to had!" said the waiter, IVY
don't you hab it yit?'
Simmons has git mo- sea cer," said
Uncle Mingo.
How so?" asked the waiter. Trees
cut down."
NO" said Uncle Mingo; you won't
b'liebe it, but I'll tell you wot's de
matter You see, Postum Holler is a
great country for simmons, an like
wise use to be for chills an feber.
Fen ue ran o de year, JlS as de SIM

even de folks would know it was time
for de chill to start, dey would all

come good an hard, 'cose dey would
shake an shake ontell dey shake edible
ripe 'simmon out de tree. Soon as de
chill stop, all dey had to do was to
gedder up de simmons by de bushel
basket. take dem home, an make de
beer.
We'll, dat was all right, but bout

Inconsistency, tradition relates, is
one of the privileges or Characteristics
of the fairer and gentler sex. and some
times it finds amusing demonstration.
There wasssuoh an instance on an Alb
ercorn street car list night.
A good-looking young woman, per-
haps not altogether unaware of the
fact, boarded the car out in the south
ern section, and as it proceeded on
down town requested the conductor to
stop at Park avenue. The car did stop
and the fair passenger gazed out on
the street with kind and gentle curl
osity

Yes, ma'am," said the conductor.
And Abercorn street?"
Yes, ma'am."
She rose and took a good look at the
scenery-then subsidized into Ter seat.

she said.
The conductor yanked the bell-cord
and swore softly to himself, while those
of the passengers whom nature hal
provided with sense of humor, grim
ned in generous amusement. The car
went on its way. little conscious that
it had offered opportunity for the illus
tration of philosophical truth.

THE 0NE-TALENTED MAN.
Rev. e. a. Jackson, the Pastors, Ser

Rev. 4. 4. Jackson, the Pastors, Ser
mon at Grace Church Last Night.
At Grace Church yesterday Rev. c.
A. Jackson. the pastor, filled the pull
pit at both the morning and evening
services. At the morning service his
theme was Love" while at the even
ing service he chose as his text, Mat
thew 25:24-26, the parable of the tall
ents, his subject being The One-Tal-
ented Man
God had" he said, mo servants
with less than one talent. There is
more difference in the use made of
talents, than in the talent itself. The
world is nearly on level. Emerson's
laws of compensation apply to the tall
ents of man as well as other things.
Most all men are one and two-talent-
ed; only now and then does the world
produce a five-talented genius. Love.
piety and doing good are as scarce as
any other of the talents, if such we
may call them.
The one-talented man, referred to
in the Scripture, failed because he was
one-talented, just as the most failures
are of the netalented. God makes,
and perhaps, needs, but few men capa-
BILE of great things. The most He has
to do in the world is incorporated in
the category of small things. Yet it
is the motive from which we act, and
not what we do, which makes the ac-
ton great or small. True greatness
consists in doing the most lowly thing
from the highest motive; the doing Of
the humblest thing by the most ex-
halted
1.-The one talented man can do this,
80 we, in our one talent, have more
than we are aware. If one knows the
value of what he has he will use it
the failure of this man lay in his ig-
norance-he was guilty of a negative
crime and positive sin. 1t is said of
Joshua He left nothing undone of all
the Lord had commanded Moses.
did you ever try to count up your
neglects for one week." Mr. Jackson
continued What you might have
done, had you been at your best? What
a number they would make in year
in ten years--a life time! This SER
wants failure was awful. To fail. in
his case, meant to lose what he had.
Take, therefore, the talent from him.
1t was just. What one does not use. he
should not keep, and God had deter
mined he shall not. We are always
wanting more and boasting of what
We would do if we had five talents, and
yet we do not use what we have. The
only way we can get more-the only
way we can keep what we have-is by
using it.
ITO take ones talent from him
means to take all the good, or posi-
bilities of good, from him. There is a
natural law which does this. The JOS
sibilities of the sinner. and even the
man himself, are flying away day by
day. What l might be, and what l am,
is leaving me as long as 1 am in aHg-
lect. All the original man-his god
likeness, his ideality-all the power to
love and the finer gifts of the soul
even the real being, is leaving the UNI
cody. and he is, by a natural law, be-
ing bound up in his neglect and his
guilt for eternity"

THE HUSBAND A DRUNKARD.
Making This Charge, Annie j. Sim

Annie ]. Sinclair, for nearly twenty
years the wife of Benjamin A. Sinclair.
has filed suit for a total divorce
against her husband, alleging as the
grounds OF divorce the defendants

provide for their children and herself.

the clerk of the Superior Court 1t
shows that the parties to the proceed
ing were married on Nov %, 1882, and
alleges that the husband deserted his
wife and children on Sept. 20, 1902.
1t is charged that Sinclair is an
habitual drunkard and that on oc-
Casions when he has given away to
this weakness he has entirely neglect
ed his family and failed to provide for
their support, squandering the money
that should have been applied to this
purpose. Oftentimes in the course of
their married life the wife has been
without the commonest necessaIies of
life.

She asks, in addition to a total d.

fifteen years, and temporary and per-

In the absence of Judge Barrow from
the city the petition was submitted to
