Helping Grand Trunk Apprentices.

Railway and Locomotive Engineering. very successful experiment in, the matter of practical education has been made in the Port Huron shops of the Grand Trunk Railway. There are be- tween six and seven hundred men em- ployed in the shops, and of these about hundred are apprentices. MT. J. T. McGrath. !the master mechanic, some time ago inaugurated a system under which the apprentices receive from competent men instruction in mechani- cal drawing and other branches calcu- lated to assist them in their manual training in the shop. Soon after the classes had been formed and work had got under way, literary and scientific institute was organized among these students. but the movement became so popular that full-f1edged mechanics and men who had worked at their trade for years joined in as we'll.

Romance of sumatra Leaf.

Country Life in America.
 The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco as grown under cheesecloth in Con- necticut Is one of the romantic epi- sodes of agriculture. A Florida fruit grower had some tobacco plants that got into his pineapple shed by acci dent. and he noticed that they were taller and a finer texture under the lath shade. The bureau of soils, while surveying the Connecticut valley found a soil that was practically the same as that of Sumatra, on which the famous tobacco Is grown. (The bureau has samples of soil from almost every important agricultural region of the world) The Government got an expert to start an industry, and the first two years some of the growers made over 100 per cent. profit. The industry as a whole Is successful. A large company with plenty of capital Is necessary. for 1t costs $650 to cover and grow an acre of this tobacco. The growers receive from $1.2O to $2.5O a pound for the product. The imported article brings $250 to $3. and we have been importing about s6.000,000 worth a year.

IS WITH THE JUDGE
COUNTY sUPERTNTENDENT CON- a TEST SUBMITTED YEsTERDAY.
c. w. Covfngton, County supertnt9nd- ent-elect, Has Instituted oae War; ranto Proceedings Against J. A.
 ThOmpson for once.

The right of J. A. Thompson to hold ofice as Superintendent of Education of MoptEomery County was, discussed yes terday in the civil division of the City Court of Montgomery, in the quo war ranto proceedings instituted by c. w. Covington, Superintendent of Educa- tion- elect.
 There was an agreed statement of facts. and only the legal phase of the question was discussed. The matter was taken under consideration by Judge A. D. Sayre. It will be remembered that Mir. Thompson was defeated for reelection at the Democratic primaries in April by MT. Covington. who was elected on November 8. A commission was issued MT. Covington by the Sec retary of State and he duly qualified and made bond before Judge of Pro- bate J. B. Gaston. When. however. he applied for the books and papers of the office. they were denied him by Mir. Thompson on the ground that his term did. not expire until October. 1905.
 Yesterday his counsel argued that the Legislature had especially provided in the general election law, that 3u- perintendentz of Eduaation should not step down and ou. during the middle of their school year. but that the new superintendents should not begin their terms of offloe until the October fol- lowing their election.
 r On the other hand, Mir. C:vington's counsel contended that the law express fly provided that the Superintendent of Education should take hold of his off, flee as soon as he was duly elected and qualified.
 Judge Sayre will probably render an opinion early this week.

fielding one at that-but for obvious reasons his name cannot be given to the public yet.
 Tn the outfleld the place of Ike Dur rett will have to be filled. and while 1t looks difficult, still it will not be as hard as 1t seems. Durrett was a great ball player, there Is no denying that question; he was, with the exception of Molesworth, the hardest hitter in the Southern League. His fielding. however. while at times bordering on the brilliant variety, was a bit cratic, and the one thing that destroyed his usefulness was the fact that he was hard to control.
 To fill the hole in left field, one of the stars of the Coast League has been virtually signed-a hard, consistent hitter and steady. fast fielder. The personnel of the 1905 team, as it looks now is: Ross. Molesworth and Dele hanty in the outfield: :,-, third base. Schwartz, second base: Busch. short: Mullaney. first base; Manners and Clark, catchers; Brandt, Gardner. Hale and Lee. pitchers There will, of but so far OBrfen has made no an- nouncements. It Is understood that he is after a hard-hiting combination catcher and infielder and also a hard hitting infielder, in addition to the third base candidate. as we'll as @ couple of Al pitchers, one of them 8 southpaw.
 Local fans were amused some days ago over a telegram from Montgomery in The Atlanta Journal that Clarke Griffith's team would be the first big league team that ever trained in Mont eomery. Back in the early sos the Louisville team did their spring tram ing in Montgomery. Louisville was then member of the National League. Harry Pulliam. now President of the National League. was Secretary of the club, having given up his newspa- per work, and Fred Clarke was man. ager, not having gone to Pittsburg.

Rapid Transit in New York city.

Rapid Transit In New York City. Railway and Locomotive Engineering.
 As early as 1890 line of stages was started to run from the Batteryto Bleecker street, distance of about two miles, traversing the town. which was then fairly compact. Two years later, in 1882, the first street car line in the world was opened, and the appearance of the tiny cars, built by John stephen son, excited wild enthusiasm among the people-when they first began to run. Street cars had monopoly of urban transportation until 1867, when the Greenwich Street Elevated Railroad was opened. It was first operated by cable, which was soon abandoned for small locomotives.
 The Greenwich Street Elevated Rail- road was a very ugly and fragile struc- ture, but it carried the passengers much faster than they were moved on the horse cars. The enterprise, however, was the subject of no end of abuse and ridicule. but in spite of that 1t kept moving it's trains with fair regularity, and gave to the people of New York an object lesson of possibilities that might be worked into practice for rapid transit.

 The Rev. pr. David Gregg, presi- dent of the Western Theological Sen,I- nary, today attacked the statement made by Dr. Hall, president of the Un- ion Theological Seminary. He said in part:
 r Any action on the part of Union Theological Seminary of New York is of no more interest to Presbyterians than to Episcopalians. Congregational ists or Baptists. The report that Un- ion Seminary Is to discard the Vest minister Confession of Faith is of no more importance to Presbyterians than had they decided to Idopt the creed of Buddah.
 Graduates of Union must pass cx- animation along the same line as appfi- cants from seminaries of foreign de- nominations. and in their exa.nina- tions they will be asked whether or not they believe in the Westmjniste r Confession of Faith. Dr. Hali the president of Union. is reported to have said that graduates of Union Seminary are admitted to presbyteres. Pei haps, if they know where to go.

 On the subject of wood alcohol Mr. Yerkes says: The recent death in New York city of several men caused as alleged. by drinking in a saloon liquor sold as whiskey which in fact was a liquid composed largely of wood alcohol and colored so as to resemble whiskey has brought prominently to the attention of the public the sup posed use of wood alcohol as a bever- age.
 There is no tax upon wood alcohol ana theretore no record of itsA manu- facture or sale is kept by this bureau and in on way does 1t come within the scope of teh inspection or eruglations of this once.

His Right to Get Drunk.

"When l hear people say anything
against the president taking a little
rest and recreation," said a southern
representative, Il am reminded of the
story of General Jackson and Major
George Groghan.
''The latter's defense of the fort at
Lower Sandusky against a force OF
1000 men-British regulars and In
dians-was one of the great feats OF
the war of 1912. Complaint was made
to General Jackson that Groghan was
INDUCING in strong drink to such an
extent that he should be dismissed
from the army. A delegation came to
Washington for the purpose Of having
the major dismissed, but Jackson gave
them a cold reception. When their
mission was announced, Jackson said:
Gentlemen, Major Groghan has
honestly and fairly won the right to
get drunk every week, or every day
Of his life; and, not only that, it lis my
honest and candid opinion the United
States should pay for his whisky. Let
him drink to his hearts content, by
