XN AsHINGTON, March ao.-The xRII work Of the coal strike com
 w mission. which is accepted by the country as fully justifyng the wis dom of the President in calling 1t into ex- istence proves to have been at cost which is moderate in comparison with the usual expenditures of government com missions
 The methods by which the commission secured the data on which to base its conclusions and decide the questions in controversy between operators and min CTS were expensive, involving much rail- road travel under conditions where the commission could hold hearings and take testimony and transact great deal of iaborious work while on the road; yet the total expense is much lower than was expected.
 Assistant Recorder Moseiey, who was detailed from his position as secretary Of the interstate commerce commission to act as sergeant-at-arms for the com mission, will. in few days be prepared to submit the final report of the expen- ditures.
 But three of the seven commissioners drew salary. General Wilson, Judge Gray, MT. Parker and Carroll D. Wright having salaries as government officials, drew no compensation for their services

Crowded Hotels.

The hotels last night were more crowded than they have been for a number of weeks. At Il o'clock the Hilman was turning away applicants for rooms in large numbers. The Morris was crowded and the Metropolitan had about all it could conveniently attend to. The new St. Nicholas was also well patronized.
 There was no particular reason for the crowded condition except that the run of general patronage was larger than usual In other words prosperity is in evidence

Boom on the Turf.

Racing men all over the United States are predicting boom for the sport this year exceeding any on record" remarked a club man. There will be more con tests on high class tracks, and the signs of increased public interest and favor con- corning the thoroughbreds are more nu- merous and convincing than in the spring seasons of other days. The breeding farms and the training stables are ready to furnish an amazing variety and ex- cellence among competitors for the stakes and purses, and the hosts of applaudng spectators are likely to surprise even the figures of 19O2''

MARGARET.

By Walter Savage Landor.
 Among Landors poems are many sug- gesting the ancient poets-this verse might be a paraphrase of Sappho-indeed. it bears resemblance to similar frag- ment of the illustrious poetess
 Mother, I cannot mind my wheel;
 My fingers ache, my lips are dry; O, If you felt the pain I feel,
 But. O, who ever felt as l,
 No longer could I doubt him true,
 All other men may use deceit He always said my eyes were blue.
 And often swore my lips were sweet.

More work and smaIler Pay.

When the Rev. John ". stagg, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Charlotte comes here, he will give up a salary of s4OOO," said Presbyterian, "and will receive only $500. Dr. stagg has been giving $l000 to the support of a misison church in Charlotte.
 He certainly is one of the most prom inent ministers in the southern general assembly. and he Is also one of the most unselfsh. There are very few men these days who willingly accept smaller sal ary and take up new work and more work. Dr. stagg has been in Charlotte seven years, and 1t is stated that he has refused numerous calls to larger cities"

Mobile and Mobile Bay.

MT. Austill served the people of the state well when he called their atten- tion to the condition of Mobile bay and of the bar at Its mouth. On the bar there are about twenty-four feet of water. This is to be deepened by the government, and the narrow sand cone can be quickly cut through, and then Mobile bay will have fifty feet of water up to Forts Morgan and Gaines.
 MT. Austill does not exaggerate the importance of deep water on the bar. He believes that Mobile is the best railway terminal on the gulf From it coal and cotton will yet be distributed throughout the ports of the gulf of Mexico, the West Indies and South America Mobile will be the gateway of the southern coal trade, and this of itcelf calls for deep water on the bar at the mouth of Mobile bay. Iron and steel and all of their products will also go out through the port of Mobile.
 Captain Davis of the battleship Ala bama, which was kept out of Mobile bay last month by the bar, says deep water on that bar will be a necessity as soon as the isthmian canal is com pleted. A large squadron will then be kept in the gulf and in the Caribbean sea, and there must be a 6epth of tyater then on the bar that yin permit
 e sfips of the fleet to enter Mobile

DR. TAYLOR AT SHAW.
Baccalanreate Sermon on Christian Man
hood" by President of Wake Forest.

On Sunday afternoon, at Shaw Univer-
sity, President Charles E. Taylor, OF
Wake Forest College, preached the bac-
calaureate sermon to the graduates OF
the professional schools.
The chapel was packed with perhaps
the largest audience that ever gathered
there.
DR. Taylors subject was Christian
Manhood"
He emphasized as the three cardinal
qualifications of Christian manhood Vir-
tue in its true meaning, which is cour-
age, moral as well as physical; Knowl-
edge, and Temperance, which is moder-
alton or self-control
He also spoke of Goodness, which may
be cultivated by study of the Bible; and
charity, love for others.
1t was a magnificent sermon, full OF
rich material for study and reflection
and a masterpiece in diction and express
sion.
Dr. w. C. Tyree pastor of the First
Baptist church. was present and con-
Quoted part of the services.
Beautiful music was rendered, under
the direction OF Miss Williams, head OF
the musical department at the college.

Recital at Baptist University.

"A Fighting Chance an amusing
farce in three acts. was produced by
eleven members of the Dramatic Club
Of the Baptist University last evening,
before an enthusiastic and appreciative
audience. one that excelled in numbers
any audience this session. The young
ladies have been efficiently trained "
Miss Elizabeth j. Sydnor, a graduate of
the Ncff School of Oratory, and they
gave evidence of naturalness and grace
which characterizes the students of that
system. Much praise is due both Miss
Sydnor and her pupils.
1t is almost impossible to give special
mention to any one OF the young ladies;
so equally excellent was the impersona-
ton of each of the different characters
in the play. Miss Mcmillan and Miss
Hollingsworth. in the role of negro and
Irish maid respectively. received the
largest share of applause. The leading
parts were taken by Miss Chears, a
graduate student in Elocution, Miss De-
ment, and Miss Bennett.
The costumes and scenery were char
acteristic of the time represented. 1852.
Following is the cast of characters
