YULCAN'S LEFT LEG
 GOES IN PIT TODAY
BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY THE ENTIRE STATUE WILL BE PUT UP IN scAFFOLD AT THE FOUNDRY.

The mould of the left leg of Vulcan will probably be placed in the sand pit today and everything finished for the casting tomorrow afternoon or night.
 The core and the outer mould have been baked and the foundrymen started Satur- day afternoon putting them together. It requires about two days to rivet and bolt the mould so that it will not give in making the casting. Besides the top and bottom plates being riveted together by rivets an inch in diameter, a metal belt has to be drawn around the mould and packed with damp sand and dirt so that the mould cannot give even a fraction of an inch.
 The same pit which was used for the right leg, cast last Friday, will be used for casting the left leg, and about the same amount of metal will be required, 1.,OOo pounds.
 The making of the moulds of the head, shoulders and uplifted arm will commence about Wednesday, and will be pushed as rapidly as possible. About Thursday ur Friday the statue will be set up In the scaffold which has been erected near the foundry. As high as the shoulders has already been cast, and by the time 1t is all riveted in place the head and shoulders will be ready to be fitted on time.
 The iron statue will consist of fifteen pieces, each one fitting into the piece above it. with flanges made so that the pieces can be riveted together and made secure. When the statue is once fitted to- gether it will be possible to take it down

FATHER BENEDICT AT
 ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
PRIEST FROM ST. BERNARD's COL LEGE BREACHES ON "LlFE OF, MAN UPON EARTH IS A WAR. FARE-lNTEREsTING SERMON.

Yesterday at St. Pauls church Father
 Benedict of St. Bernards s college at Gull
 man preached on Life of man upon earth
 is warfare" (Job I'D.
 After explaining the celebration of Palm
 Sunday the father said: Two flags are
 carried continually before us on our jour
 ney through life: One leads us on a way. apparently rough and full Of thorns; but
 only few follow It.
 Tt appears, however. easy to travel on 1 the road which the other flag points out
 and there are many who follow-for wide
 is the gate, and broad is the way that
 leadeth to destruction. CMatthew 7-10. Which flag shall we follow? Which road shall we choose?''
 Then he continued to explain who are the leaders of this warfare, what is re- qured from their followers and what re- wards their followers will receive. The
 priest said "One of the leaders is Christ. the incarnate Son of God bearing the standard of the cross; the other Is satan. the reprobate angel, on whose banner is written: 'Concupiscence of the flesh, con- cupiscenee of the eyes, and pride of life. q JohnII-16).
 ''The motive of Christ in this warfare Is his love for His heavenly Father and for mankind. The motive of satan is his hatred against God and mankind. Jesus
 demands from his followers to deny them- selves to take up their cross and follow
 him. Satan demands from his followers,
 that they should serve their evil incln- ations, and submit to the tyranny of vice.
 What Christ offers to his followers ap-
 pears hard and difficult yet his yoke Is
 sweet and his burden is light for those who patiently bear 1t. What satan offers to his mercenaries seems bright and promising al first sight but soon 1t iooses its splendor and glory. and nothing re-
 mains but dust and ashes" What are all the pleasures of this short life compared with an eternity of dark
 ness in hell? What are the sufferings and
 trlublations of the Christian compared
 with the eternal joys of heaven? Whom
 shall we follow, Christ or Bellal? Let us
 take up the cross of Christ, cary 1t with
 him to Calvary In order that we may ascend with him from Mount Olive. triumphantly into heaven. bearing the
 palms of victory and singing, "Hosannah, Praise be to God on High"

RAILROAD WORLD.

The profit in fast high class tourist trains has long been doubtful question among railway men. So far as the dollars and cents go the expenses generally ex- ceed the receipts but 1t has always been argued that the fast trains advertise the roads which operate them.
 The origin of the expression, the pub lie be d--d," is found in the taking off of fast train by William H. Vanderbilt when he found that it did not pay. He argued that if the public wanted fast trains, they would patronize them When they preferred the slower trains, he took off the fast one from the New York Cen tral.
 The Central of Georgia cut out the Nancy Hanks, the fastest train ever run in the south, because 1t was unprofitable
 About a year ago the Pennsylvania discontinued a twenty hour train between Few York and Chicago because it did not pay.
 Every winter. the roads in the south put on. fast trains between the north and west and Florida. When asked if these trains were profitable, the managers have not been positive in their statements on the affirmative side.
 Writing on this subject. the Railroad Record of Atlanta, says that the tourist trains do not pay. It suggests that an other year it will pay the roads cooper ate and alternate. The article which has attracted wide attention among railway men, says:
 ITO many high-class passenger trains are being run. Take the service offered this year and in previous years for the northern tourists going to Florida. They have the choice of three magnificent trains south of Washington. These trains represent a large investment-s75,O00 to slO0OOO each.
 Each of the three roads had to main tain four or five of these trains. They are run at high speed. They have the right of way over every thing. All other trains must take the sidings and walt The delay to freight, the overtime. the fuel and the extra expense, are items difficult to estimate in dollars and cents, but it Is very large in the aggregate.
 Now, what business have these fast trains done?
 Up to March 1 they did not average twenty-five passengers per southbound trip. The revenue on the best patronized train was not 60 cents per train mile southbound, and one hates to figure how small it was northbound Some days it was not 10 cents a mile. For the entire season, these fast trains will not aver age 40 cents per train mile both ways.
 While this present season has seen the largest travel south ever known, there was not more than enough business to comfortably fill one train.
 Then why not another year operate the fast trains jointly? Let the Atlantic Coast Line take it one day. the Seaboard the next and the Southern the third. They can alternate. and if passenger wishes to go by a particular route. he can so arrange his trip.
 "An arrangement of this kind will save a large investment, give each road mora revenue and afford a great relief to the operating departments"

Mark A Collins, a white man about 30 years old. committed suicide yesterday afternoon at the residence of his sister. 515 South Twenty-second street by talk ing a bottle of chloroform He died with in an hour after he took the poison.
 Despondency over separation with his wife is said to be the cause of the suicide. For some time Collins and his wife are said to have been separated, and he was longing to have her back with him again, although she Is said to have refused.
 Dr. R. c. Bankston was summoned to relieve Collins if possible, but the poison had already gotten such hold on his system that it was impossible. It seems that yesterday afternoon about 1:O5 o'clock a few minutes after dinner Collins walked into the hall at his sisters house and took the poison which he had in a small two-ounee bottle.
 He then walked into the room where

The citizens of East Lake will vote on the proposed bond issue of slS5OO today to erect an electric light plant. The sen timent is said to be about evenly divided on the question and the election promises to be interesting. It Is probable that a full vote will be boiled.
 For sometime the mayor and aldermen have been endeavoring to get electric lights for the city. On failure to make satisfactory agreement with the Bir- mingham Railway Light and Power com pany an election was called to allow tho people to vote on the bond issue to de- eide as to whether the city should own it's own plant.

Humble as a little child By no subtleties begulled. T

This was the secret of Christs humility. His life was always in balance. He knew His power, and His claims, but these meant a mission to His brethren At times His trembling at a critical hour is just human aversion to pain of soul and body. but never is there any holding back or reliance upon the kingly power, The legions could have been summoned, but are not summoned.
 His humility never denied His royalty.
 We, too, are kings. God has given us the right of rule. Peculiarly in our age does the sceptre entrusted to us seem to have gathered new powers. Our capacity for doing is increased many fold over that of our forefathers. That strange power which has re-created the commerce of the world has made us one people the world over; the agency of steam has op- ened a vista of opportunity that is not yet realized. As the lightning from heaven the word of man goes over the reaches us almost before 1t happens. These things are but one side of the story. l believe that a close touch with the great Lord of us all is in our reach, and spiritual depths not yet sounded can be reached by the men of this generation, and agencies for spiritual work put in operation that have not been touched as yet. The intellect of the world Is at the command of the world, and the new things of knowledge have revealed self to the world, and the world to self. And every step Is a new capacity, new sign of human royalty.
 It is all true. brethren, and yet We so often unworthily use what God has given us. exercising our kinkliness for self, gathering treasures out of the world that they may be grasped looked at cherished for their own sake. unmindful of the kings humility.
 Nor is that humility solely our example We are unworthy, and the King of Kings. by His humility, can make us strong and pure and holy
