the division, the division being merged into the Birmingham Mineral Division The family of MT. Knox will not re- move to Montgomery until February. Upon his departure from Anniston the railroad men who hads been asso-
 ciated with MT. Knox presented him with a handsome diamond pin as a token of their esteem.
 The Anniston Star of Saturday says: Mir. w. E. Knox:
 We beg you to accept this gift from
 the undersigned employees, which Is
 only a faint expression of their high regard for you.
 we trust you will be abundantly blessed in your new field of labor. and
 will continue to rise in the railroad
 world until the topmost round is reached. We realize our loss of the very best superintendent Is your gain In another department. Regretting our loss we can but feel glad, and mingle our tears with shouts of good wishes for you and your most excellent fam fly"
 The fore going is the address made to MT. Knox this morning on his being presented a handsome diamond stud by the emrloyes under him at this place.
 The presentation address was ably rendered by Mir. H. A. Reynolds, super intsndent of the Louisville and Nash vile freight office, and while deliver ing the address the most casual ob server could have noted that he was visibly affected.
 The address was signed by ffty-six employees, including office men, engi- neers. conductors agents on the line. operators, roadway department men in fact, | contribution from every man that ever worked under MT. Knox.
 When Mir. Knox arose to make his reply his voice shook with emotion. It was plain to all present that the un- bounded love felt for him by his em- ployes was reciprocated with the full capacity of a noble, benefcent and sympathetic heart.
 Present at the presentation of the stud to MT. Knox were the employees of his off1ce. the employees of MT Key noldss office and Colonel G. W. Ely of the Southern Pacific.
 Concluding an earnest address to the employees Mir. Knox said:
 T want to enjoin on each of you in your respective avenues of duty, that the first duty you owe to yourself is to satisfy your employer by complying with the rules he lays down, treat all his patrons in consderate and friendly way, look after your em- ployer's interest as if 1t were your own, and before long your employer will discover that you are a valuable employe and will promote you when opportunity arises. Honesty, faithful service in looking after the duties in trusted to you will always win for you an opportunity of reaching the highest position attainable in your line of em- ployment.
 'In. leaving you l want each of you to understand that every one has my heartiest and very best wishes for fu- ture advancement, which is in store for all of you who strive to do your whole duty"

PLEA IN ABATEMENT.
Governments Flight Against Packers is
 Proceeding.

PrOceeMtn&.
 Chicago, Sept. 20.-A plea in abate- ment was filed today by the packers indicted in the United States District Court on a charge of conspiracy to monopollze the meat industry The plea is not supported by affidavits It is signed by the defendants and their attorneys.
 It is said the main question to be raised when the plea Is finally taken before judge will be concerning the secrecy surrounding the drawing of the grand jury. It is urged that a grand jury under constitutional laws shall be drawn in public. This Is construed to mean that any person. who feels that he may be investigated by the jury may be present and see the names drawn from the box and know who the persons are. This is declared to be the constitutional right of every citizen and was so contemplated by citizens when the act was passed.
 It is charged in the plea that the date of the drawing was kept a pro- found secret, and the parties were un- able to learn who had been selected to sit upon their case. although the gov ernment had an opportunity to inves- tigate each man whose name had been drawn
 Four men connected with tho 0chWdrxchlIo and Sulzberger packing concern, named in indictments charR- ing them with accepting railroad re- bates, are now in Chicago.

 From the reports received it appears today that an engineer of a freight train overlooked his orders and crashed into another freight head-on. This caused collision between two sec tions of west-bound passenger train which was following and which could not be warned in time. Engineer Ross and Fireman Linville were injured and four or five cars were smashed and the occupants hurled about the cars The dead Thomas Mason, Pauls- borough, N. J.

THE GRAMMAR OF
BUSINESS LETTERS.

A few years ago we often heard
business men say, What do [ care
for the grammar Of letter, so long
as it gets the business?' Now busi-
ness men quite generally recognize
that grammar is an important ele
ment in getting business. Grammar
is the science of the logical relation
ship of words in sentences. IF words
are not put together gram sna; ically
they fail to express the meaning clear
ly Bad grammar and confusion are
who does not punctuate his lntters
correctly fails to express his mean
ing quite completely. The impress
sion on the mind of the reader is not
cutie so clear and sharp. An incor-
rect letter is like a slightly blurred
Photograph You can tell whom the
hazy photograph represents, but
picture that is startingly clear aad
sharp has vast commercial advert
age over one that is not.
A few errors of punctuation : Il
grammar in one letter do not matter
much, but the same error in a hundred
letters, accumulating one on top of
another, weigh vastly in the final sue
cess of a business. Successful men
recognize this, and now the largest
retail store in the world pays one dol
lar to it's employees for every error Of
English one of them finds in any of
the printed matter issued by the
house. Already many other business
houses are following this example in
one way or another. The most striking
evidence in the matter is the fact
lish may get twice the salary paid to
ordinary stenOgraphers. The presf-
dent of concern in Minneapolis
widely known all over the country,
employing fifty stenOgraphers, said
publicly not long ago. "If all my
stenographers, clerks, statesmen, ETC.,
would learn to write correct and ef-
fective business letters, they would be
worth twenty-five per cent more to
me, and | should be willing to pay
the full value of their services" I
believe that any stenographer, no mat.
ter how good, could get his or her SAL
ary raised by dint of patient study
of correct English during a period Of
six months.

Lingerie MADE BY HAND.

The range of handWork which has
Eeen so pronounced in all other parts

passed the under-garments by. Every.
thing worn by fashionable woman
of today is made by hand. including
all her outer garments, under-gar-
ments, her shoes and stockings. her
jeWelry and even her umbrella
handles. reticules and purses. But
of all these things, perhaps, the under

ter plain. fine garments made by
land than elaborate ones made by ma

amateur seamstress may we'll enter,
because it is far more possible for
the woman of ordinary ability as a
seamstress to learn to make her own
under-garments than to make satisfac-
tory outer clothing. The work is al
so more interesting and agreeable.
Indeed, since the passion for hand
made under-garments has become so
widespread many girls who could not
possibly afford to buy French under
wear have learned to make their own.
Time, patience and skill are more
necessary than much money in this
pursuit, for very narrow lace really
looks prettier than wide, expensive
lace, and hand embroidery costs only
Infinite patience and skill, and-this
is just by way of a caution-eyesight.
Embroidering on white with white
thread, even plain needlework, on
these fine, white garments is hard on
the eyes if pursued too steadily. 1t
should be done with care and only
in good light, and the embroidery
should be dropped when found to be
affecting the eyes. Better no trimming
on ones underwear; better machine
made underwear than ruined eyes.
Handwork, however, despite this
caution, is the constant cry of the
new underwear. Embroidery is sup
plemented with lace motifs, lace en-
tredeux and lace fiounces. The Eng
lish eyelet embroidery has been quite
fashionable for two years. but it has
never taken the place of French en-
