Men of New York Do
 a Large Business.

From the New York Evening Post
 The 'delicatessen' men do a large bus mess This very evening, l, encouraged by my friends observations, paused before various open doors just before 6 o'clock and watched what was going on within. These places of provision were literally thronged; women of every age and every nationality were buying for the evening meal
 Visions of other poor mems homes. fa- miliar to me in other times and other places, came almost as a veil between me and this motley company. Remembrances of open cottage doors, through which one could see the fire burning in the tidy stove, the steaming kettle with it's cover clattering pleasantly through the force of pressure within; the big brown loaf of home made bread. with the wide-bIaded knife beside 1t; the savory odor of some wholesome stew, or of crisp bacon, invit- ing the most sated appetite; a dish of mealy potatoes. ready to fall into pow dery whiteness at d touch, and the bowl of baked apples or pears for a desert- these things came back in strange con- trast to what I saw now.
 A link or two of sausage: a slice of this and two slices of that cold food, laid in papers and added, one after another to the store in the basket underneath the almost invariable shawl. A bottle of cat sup; perhaps a head of cabbage for a cold relish; loaf of bakers bread, and almost invariably a pie. No thoughtful, house. wifely preparation of strengthening food for a strong armed man too tired to di- gest easily no warm, well-seasoned dish to strengthen or refresh him; no careful use of his money for his best sustenance Only the easiest possible thing to procure that would prevent hunger, with the pro- fit of preparation and cooking going to him who buys a low grade of food at the cheapest price, and sells at large profit In the few minutes in which I stood here and there, looker-on at what was to me a sad sight, counted twenty cold, com fortless meals" carried hastily out to pro- vide for the evening repart of men hurry ing home from hard days work. Prob ably third of the value of the purchase went to the benefit of the vendor.

The Chinese Language.
From Comfort.

From Comfort.
 According to professor of oriental Ian guages the Chinese have really two dis- tinct languages, the spoken and the writ ten. which differ from one another radi- cally. The spoken language. it is claimed, may be easily acquired. but the latter, or the ''book language" as 1t is called, is the study of lifetime. Few people can read Chinese book or write a Chinese letter. and women in particular. 1t is also stated, find the way difficult, The Chinese never possessed grammar. and when added to this is the fact that each word Is repre- scented by an arbitrary symbol. the magni |. tude of the task of reading may be easily understood.

The Country Pastor.

From the Baptist Argus.
 We have a fast growing respect for the country pastor as preacher. It Is more inspiring to preach to country people than to townsmen. The most inspiring addresses that we have heard during the past sum- mer have not been by the metropolitan ministers. but by men from the country and small towns. II is evident the rural breathren are better supported, more stu- dious in their habits and more influential with their churches than ever before. It Is perfectly glorious to be g hrst-ciass country pastor.

DIFFERENCES ARE
 NEARLY SETTLED Council Committee and Presi-
 dent JemiSon Confer CONCESSIONS ARE MADE Head of Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Go. Hears Complaints
 of Ensley and Offers to
 Make Improvements.
CONCESSIONS ARE MADE

Ensley, November 10.-(Specla1.)-A conl- mittee from the council consisting of May or Scott and Aldermen McTyiere' Patton Philips, Hollingsworth and Graham met in conference with President Jemlson Of the Birmingham Railway Light and Pow CT company tonight in the council chamber and after a two hour session the differ ences between the council and company, winch, it was shown, had grown out or misunderstanding, were practically ad- justed. The primary cause of this confer ence was the action of the council at a recent meeting in raising the license or the company from s20O to 5000.
 After the conference was called to order President Jemison made a speech to the committee in a friendly manner. asking them to state their grievances as he felt that the council had treated the company wrongly and was sure that there was some reason for the action of the board. He said that the company had done all In it's power to advance Ensey and that 1t had shown some favoritism to the Steel City by running three lines in the city.
 Alderman McTyiere stated that the  but that 1t felt the city had been sighted in some respects He contended that the company had placed arc lights in certain other cities where there were sharp curves He also stated that the company in laying its track on Twentieth street had raised the grade, which would put the city to a large expense when the street was leveled.
 Patton's Views.
 Alderman Patton thought that the peo- pie of Ensley were paying seven-tenths more fare than the other towns in the Birmingham district. All licenses, he thought, should be imposed in accordance to the amount of business done. He con- tended that the company had not shown the council enough deference and that 1t had refused all requests for conference until the crisis had arisen.
 President Jemison said it would be inn possible for the company to operate the lines on any cheaper fare and that the merchants of Ensley had requested that the fare should not be lowered. He said that as soon as residences along the line get enough short hauls to permit 1t to do so, a five-cent fare would be inaugurated.
 President Jemison asked that all ac- tion be deferred until the first of the year, the time the present license ex- pired.
 The conference adjourned and will re- port to the council at its next meeting. III
