 Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan, Blair & Co.,.
 Ladenburg, Thalman x Co.,, and their
 associates on the committee must feel
 highly gratified and greatly pleased at the confidence, not only of the stock holders of the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
 way. but of tho general public. as Is evidenced in the remarkable success
 of their plan of readjustment and the evidence thereby given of their confi- dence in the ability and fidelity of the present management s well as in the future of the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way property.
 Those familiar with the Seaboard and advised as to its requirements have long recognized the necessity for funds sufficient to perfect its physical condi- tion and so improve its terminal facil-
 tiles as to provide for the economical and expeditions handling of Its rapidly increasing business. The plan as pro- posed, 1t Is understood. will provide { sum sufficient to meet tho present and
 future wants of the Seaboard. and it Is believed will secure a satisfactory return to the stockholders upon the investment made by them.

 Constance Trescot' Is a novel that most readers will cling to till the iast page and find haunting memory ione after 1t is laid down. One feels that this book. The tragedy, for 1t IS tragedy. Is set just after the Civil War in small Southern city still seethine with the prejudices, misconceptionsa an a passions of the mighty. conflict between the States. George Trescot. Constance Grayhurst, and all the minor charac- ters, are sharply drawn; but George Trescot stands out as a rarely lovapIe' Constance Trescot as strongly indl- vidual and impressive figure. To the development of her character Dr. Mitch ell has brought the sympathy of poet and the insight of a philosopher and or wise physician" a physician of the mind no less than of the body
 To give even a hint of the develop ment of the plot would be unfair to the reader: but the main fact is based upon a woman's vendetta that actually came under Dr. Mitchell's observation :. To the making of the book he has giv- en much thought and labor, having re- written the tale three times in the last three years. Dr. Mitchell considers Constance Trescot' the best work he has achieved.

Az White House "(3uesf :"

President Roosevelt and Mayor Mcclellan met in Brooklyn on the recent occasion of the dedication of the General Siocum statue. According to a report which had been current for long time the president and the mayor had unkindly feelings for each other. but this seemed to be disproved by the cordiality of their greeting. The pres ident shook the mayors hand and his face fairly beamed as he said: Glad to see you looking so well. MT. Mayor Why, only yes terday Mrs. Roosevelt and I were talking about you. and she said that she would nev- CT be satisfied until she saw you in the White House. Mayor Mcclellan smiled, his eyes twinkled, and he was about to make re- ply. when President Roosevelt hurriedly added: 'See you in the White House as our guest, you know; only as our guest"

Gertrude Atherton's Literary Begin
 nlngs.

How a successful author began to write is always a question of interest, and one which Is sure to provoke the most diverse replies. Of the beginning of her literary career, Gertrude Athcr- ton, whose art. in many respects, has reached its highest development so far in the volume of strange tales. The Bell in the Fog" numbered among tho Harper's publications for 1905, has this to say: T began to write, or rather to compose, which then took the form of spinning astonishing yarns about my daily doings, when I was at some ten- der age, and when went to school I remember the big girls gave me blank books in which to write stories for them. The first story published. how ever, was after my marriage, called The Randolphs of Redwoods." It was the same fundamentally as "A Daughter of the vine." and appeared in The San Francisco Argonaut." It was Mrs. Atherton's early purpose to exploit the romance of the juvenile age of the far West. and to obtain material she went straight to headquarters. making her residence for a time in an old adobe settlement, studying the life of the sur viving Spanish pioneers"

Wealth of the South.

Those of the north whose estimate of the industries Of
the south is based rapid surveys through windows
will be surprised to learn that of the total exports Of
the country last year Al per cent contributed by the
south.
For long after the war; which Frustrated its industries
the south regarded parayzed and poverty
Comparisons between the fertile farms of the north
its smoking chmneys humming factories and heavy rail
way traffic. with the stretches in the south where the soil
looks thin and barren and the towns desoate, have
created in the northern mind decidedly wrong impress
sion which only official figures of production set right
Among last years exports exclusively from the south
cotton, $379965 OLA; cotton seed OIL $15125SO2
cotton seed cake and meal $3S97 49, naval stores &c.
106643; phosphates, &c, $780, 274.
This makes total of $45l ,9S0,91 exclusively southern
products and this alone nearly one-third of all
domestic exports.
But besides the articles named the south exports other
products which it raises manufactures in common with
other parts of the countrytimber tobacco, petroleum.
cotton goods provisions grain COAL cattle fruits, ron
and Steel wood manufactures leatherand It's share Of
such exports is roughly estimated at $183,OOO,O0O.
Hence total of 6149OOOOO Al per cent Of the value
of all the exports of the country.
Cotton is still king and the south is still the garden
spot of the earth.
The value of the exports of cotton alone exceeded
the value of the combined exports Of breadsufs, CATTLE
hogs and sheep, provisions and mineral oils
1t almost three times great the value Of all
iron and steel exports and twors great the value
of all manufactured products.
Such figures these prove such wealth OF southern
fields and such industrial activity of the southern people
that the northern opinion of the industrial south is
PEELED to undergo decided change.
