MORTGAGE TAX TEST
MANHATTEN TRUST COMPANY
 FILES 4 SUIT.
cordinE a Mortgage in MontgOm- cry Under the New Alabama
 Law.

An important suit was filed yester- day in the City Court of Montgomery which may in the end involve many thousand of dollars that have been paid into the State and County treasur- ies.
 It will be remembered that a few days ago the South and North Railroad of Alabama. division of the Louisville and Nashville. voted to issue $2,00O, ,00U of bonds. These bonds have been duly prepared, the necessary mortgage issued and the Manhattan Trust. Co, of New York made trustee. The inurtg- age was duly filed and recorded in the Probate office of Montgomery County and q mortgage tax oe 5000 was paid that being the amount required under the states mortgage tax laws. Of this tax certain proportion goes to the County and the remainder to the StatC.
 Ths suit filed yesterday was by the Manhattan Trust Co.,. against J. B. Gaston. Probate Judge of Montgomery County. to recover the $3,000 paid when the mortgage was recorded.
 The reason alleged for brin ging suit to recover is that the tax Is unconstl- tutional
 Judge Gaston accepted service and the matter will go to the Attorney General, while the attorneys on both sides will fix date for arguing tho case.
 It gives promise of being a cause celebre and may go to the United States Supreme Court.

African MethOdists Hold Interesting
 Meeting at Troy.
 Troy. Dec 9.-(Special.)--The morn ing session of the conference was taken up in listening to the unfinished report of the previous days work.
 The reports showed an increase in money collected for missions over that of last year. The bishop was pro- nounced in expressing his purpose to organize missionary societies in every church. He showed that by such a system the conference would be able to report one year hence an increase of d thousand dollars at least for missions.
 The conference adjourned until its eighth session and the afternoon was devoted to the work of committees and tho examination of ministers for stand ing in their classes. At 8 o'clock D. m, Rev. II. B. Parks, D. D., of New York. secretary of Home and Foreig Missions addressed a large audience. He spoke hopefully of the race and the progress 1t is making along those lines necessary for its development. That the women of the race have the spirit to lead in the work of home and for eign mission; and as they help us we must help them. for no race can rise above its women. His address was very practical and inspiring and at it's close collection of $f29 was taken for home and foreign missions The work of Friday will be given to the hearing of the reports of committees

Miss E. NJ. Jackson.

Prlnceton Press.
 Early Sunday morning, November 27. Miss Eleanor M. Jackson died at the home of her friends, MT. and Mrs . Frank R. Chambers, Bronxville, N. Y. Only a few weeks ago she left Prince ton. apparently In her usual good health, and the tidings of her serious illness and lamented death came as 8 great shock to her many Princeton friends. Though not a resident here, she made extended visits for many years at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Charles A. Aiken, and by her genial and sunny disposition endeared herself greatly to a large circle of our Prince ton people. She was warmly devoted to the things that were good and beau tiful. At one time she was member of the late Mrs. David Browns Sunday School class in the Second Presbyterian Church, and a few seasons she was q faithful teacher herself in that school. She developed a noble, Christian char acter. She loved the arts and she loved the flowers. Her presence was always helpful. Kind, generous and deeply interested in the welfare of those about her, her departure leaves sad hearts and fragrant memories. Were we permitted to write a beati- tude, 1t would be '"Blessed are the cheerful, for theirs is the ministry of hone"

BRADSTREE1'S REVIEW
THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
 CONTINUE VERY ACTIVE.
Heavy Decline in Cotton Has Affected Southern Trade and Collections and Mild Weather Affects
 SOuthwest's Business.

New York. Dec. 9.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 While distribution displays more ir- regularity, manufacturing industries with few exceptions continue very act i've. The heavy decline in cotton has affected Southern trade and collections | and mild weather retards business in the Southwest, part of the Northwest and the Ohio Valley. Wholesale dis tribution as usual at this season tends to quietness though in excess of year ago. The winter wheat situation Is still not entirely clear. The feeling is one of optimism in trade. Confidence in the South's ability to ~ithstand the drop in cotton and holu for better
 prices Is freely expressed, and while the temporary effect of the decline has been to unsettle cotton manufactur- ing the ultimate effects are looked upon try seems to look forward to 1905 with confidence and some lines report a full quarters trade already practically booked. Railway earnings returns point to very heavy traffic. Gross re- turns for November show an aggregate gain of 10 1-2 per cent. over last year. Clearings are of enormous volume and compare favorably not only with last years small total. but with the large transactions of previous years. and only Is per cent. below the record week ending May 19. 1901.
 Among the industries iron and steel and its allied branches show most con- fidence. Pig iron. while perhaps less active in general demand, Is higher at Northern markets and steady at the South. Some reaction Is shown in the other metals after recent advances, but copper is quite steady while tin Is lower. Cold weather and the ad- vance in the season helps the coal trade east and west. Coke Is active. but drought and lack of care check delivery and interference with Western fur naces.
 Wool Is quiet, but firmly held with stocks lightsand manufacturers not as yet fully covered for the season.
 The hide. leather and shoe trades show little change.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending December num- Der .231 against 1S4 last week and 241 in the like week in 1903. In Canada failures for the week number 23 as against 20 last week and in this week year ago.
