RAILROAD WORLD.

The Railroad Record and Common Car rier of Atlanta has the following article relative to the effect on railroad rates if the Interstate Commerce association has power to arrange rates:
 Railway men are unanimously of the opinion that government made rates would operate to the disadvantage of in- terior points. It is the history of rates in countries where they are made by the government that they are based on distance. This plan has to be adopted in order to avoid discrimination. The result is that the cities on the sea coast and on navigable waters have a greater advantage over interior points than un- der a rate system made by the rail- roads.
 "President Lucius Tuttler of the Boston and Maine railroad, who is considered one of the greatest authorities on rail rates, says that if the interstate com merce commission had the power to make rates it would create a system which not only would seriously cripple the rail- ways in the south but would very serious ly hurt such cities as Birmingham, Att lanta, Nashville and Chattanooga. He says that Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans, Mobile and Galveston would find their business doubled by the change, but 1t would be at the expense of the Inland cities which would find their rates so much higher as to be prohibitive. That Is, the merchants and manufactur- CTS of Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville and Chattanooga could not compete sue cessfully against the port cities. The benefits which would be obtained by one section would be at the expense of an- other.
 Tn distinguishing between reasonable and unreasonable rates in connection with gulf and south Atlantic ports, MT. Futile said that the railroad rates from New England water ports to South Atlantic and Gulf ports might be lower than the railroad rates from Boston to points in the middle eastern states; yet the rates between the last named points need not necessarily be unreasonable. Be- cause of the necessity on the part of tho railroad of meeting competitive rates maintained by the water lines, the roads might be compelled even to cut their rates in half and this being true. if the short and long haul exemption were to be done away with, New England seaboard cities would suffer as well as the cities of the inland southern country"

MANY CHILDREN IN
 COMMUNION GLASS
INTERESTING SERVICES AT ST. PAUL'S = CIRCULAR LETTER
 FROM THE BIsHoP-coLLEc. TON FOR POPE NEXT SUNDAY.

Many interesting services were held at St. Paurs yesterday. At the 2 o'clock mass, the Rev. Father Coyle being the celebrant, a class of between sixty and seventy children made their first com munion. At 9:3O o'clock the Sunday school mass was largely attended.
 The Rev. Father Kitrick was the cee- brant at high mass at 1O:sO o'clock. He read a circular letter from the Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of Mobile The bishop said in part:
 collection for our Holy Father will be taken up in all the churches of the dio- cese on Trinity Sunday.
 Although governing the church of God but a short time Pope Plus X has already won the esteem and love of the faithful throughout the world. His saintly char acter, his zeal for religion, and above all his Christian charity, has drawn all hearts to him. While we love and revere him for his personal qualities, we rever- ence him above all because he is the Vicar of Jesus Christ and His represen- tative here on earth who is the infallible guide, appointed to lead the faithful in the pants of holiness, virtue and truth. We trace the long line of sovereign pom tiffs back in unbroken succession from Plus X to Peter-the Prince of the Apos- 4I I.I. co inherits all the rights, powers and prero- gatives vested in St. Peter, the first Pope. He is the shepherd to whom Christ en- trusted His flock. the one for whom Christ prayed that his faith might never fail so that being converted himself he might ever confirm his brethren in the faith. As our spiritual Father our relations with him are most direct and intimate. It is our duty. therefore, to help him in his world wide work of gov- erning the church and extending it's mis- sions.
 .In former ages the patrimony of St. Peter was available for the support of the Supreme Pontiff. but, in modern times, he has been sacrilegiously deprived of this, and in consequence, is forced to depend on the charity of his spiritual chill dren in every land"
 At o'clock in the afternoon the chill dren who made their first communion in the morning were present to renew their baptismal vows and receive the scapular The last service of the day was at 6 o'clock, and was in honor of the Sacred Heart.
 The Rev. Father Eaton. formerly as- sistant at St. Pauls but now of Mont gomery, was in Birmingham yesterday. He and the Rev. Father Kitrick left last night for the east on their annual vaca- tion.

AFTER sEEDLEss APPLES.
England Wants Entire Product of
 Grand Junction Orchard.

Grand Junction. Colo, June 11.-(Spe- cial )-The Colorado seedless apple. men, toned in these columns some time ago as the freak production of a Colorado Burbank. has won for itself standard commercial value not ony in this county but in all other parts of the globe. Eng land Is the latest country that wants them badly. There is only one orchard In the world. That Is at Grand Junction. It's owners received a letter from Lon don firm this week asking for tine entire crop for several successive years.
 Some time ago four of these seediess apples were sent to England as curios. Two of them found their way to the table of King Edward and the other two were sold for charity. The interest aroused by the new product was wonder ful, and 1t has resulted in an English demand for the seedless apple that can not possibly be supplied from the 250o trees here.

C0LONISTS COMING ID SOUTH ALABAMA Will Settle on Timber Lands
 North of Mobile COMPLAINTS AGENTS HERt H. H. Reece and w. H. Bennett of Falrford Lumber Company State

 ing to Be Developed.
COMPLAINTS AGENTS HERt

H. H. Reese of New York and W. H.
 Bennett of Chicago, representing the Fair
 ford Lumber company of Fairford, Ala, were in Birmingham last night on their way to their timber lands situated thirty five miles north of Mobile.
 Northern capitalists recently purchased 100000 acres of timber lands in Mobile and Washington counties, including the town of Rigby and the lumber plant near by at an expenditure of s50O,0OO. All these purchases were consolidated into what is now the Fairford Lumber company.
 It is the purpose of the company to cut the timber from these lands and set tie on them colonists from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other northern cities.
 MT. Reese and Mir. Bennett spent Sat urday in Washington, where they were in conference with NJ. V. Richards, in- dustrial agent of the Southern railway. The two gentlemen while on this trip are the guests of the Southern railway, all their timber lands being on or near the Southern's lines.
 "There Is no doubt that we've got good proposition, said MT. Bennett last night, and we are satisfied it will suc- ceed. We have purchased 100000 acres of timber lands in Mobile and Washington counties, thirty-five miles north of Mo bile, including the town of Rigby and a lumber plant near that place. We pro- pose to cut the lumber from these lands and convert them into truck farms. Then we're going to colonize them with per sons from the north who have experience in truck farming. The selection of these will be made carefully only those persons who are prepared to be- come home makers being eligible as set tiers. We hope to make arrangements whereby every colonizer will pledge him self not only to remain on the land, but also to bring other colonists with him.
 Alabama is attracting the attention of home-seekers at the north. We have de- vised a practical plan for getting the colonists and there is every prospect that our venture will succeed"

UNION MINERS TO
 MEET HERE TODAY
ANNUAL CONVENTION TO CON- SEER WAGE SCALE WILL AS sEMBLE IN KNIGHTS OF CO LUMBUS HALL AT 10 A. M.

District No. 20. United Mine Workers of America will meet in annual eonven- ton at the Knights of Columbus hall on Twentieth street this morning at 10 o'clock.
 President Edward Flynn will preside over the convention which will likely remain in session for several days.
 It is not expected that the attendance will be as large as in former years, but much interest will attach to the proceed ings
 The most important business to be con- sidered by the convention will be the wage scale. The commercial operators and the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company signed an agreement with the United Mine Workers last summer by which they were to pay the same wage for cutting coal as might be paid by the open shop furnace companies. As the price of iron advanced the price for cut ting coal increased until it reached the maximum of 57h cents ton. The furn- ance companies and the union miners failed to agree on a scale and a strike was ordered on the 1st of August The furnace operators with the exception or the Alabama Consolidated, have held out firmly against the union.
 The question now is will the miners convention decide to let the present agreement with the commercial com panies remain in effect or will an ad- vance be demanded. officials of the union will not venture to predict what the delegates will do in the matter.

Stray Wireless Message.

New Orleans, June 11.-(special)-A pe- culiar phenomena occurred in New Or leans some days ago which indicates the remarkable length which wireless mes sages may travel. On the roof of the tall sky-scraper of the Hibernia Bank and Trust company is erected an appa- ratus for sending and receiving wireless messages to Galveston, Key West, Tam pa, Mobile and eventually Panama. The operator in charge was startled with a faint message which he finally deciphered to be one from some vessel far off in the ocean and presumably in the north Att lantie, for 1t told of encountering and then being in a great snowstorm. The message was intended evidently for New York, but the sound waves travelling through space were caught by the sensi- tive receiver of the New Orleans sta- ton fairly intelligibly. Whether or not the message was wholly dehected from It's true course has not been discovered.

 light" Only the man who works in the light is able to see, to see the dangers and the path of safety, and only that man is firmly anchored amid lifes evil who is able to see the true from the false.
 We ourselves shut out the spiritual world with it's great dome and sky from our own vision by erecting the world of the physical right over our own heads And yet no man can walk any more with a firm tread in the world of the spiritual without knowledge of that world and it's laws In this case knowledge is the power that anchors the soul.
 There is also the anchorage which comes from constant access to the seat of power.
 One of the great mistakes we make here in the world is the false emphasis we place on power. The seat of power is not in houses and lands not in stand ing or position, not in worldly success. but at Gods throne, the throne that is provided for a man in his time of need And this seat of power is strong enough to hold firm the man who totters and who stumbles and who is shaken by any fierce tide or storm, whether it be the tide of a great sorrow or great joy; of A great diversity or a great prosperity; of a great temptation or a great uplift. And all the while as we struggle by the help of God against the evil about us. as we fight hard for higher ground, we, as Paurs companions did, wish for perfect liberation and for a perfect anchorage. And if we live in this way, In the words of Tennyson,
