Davidson.-Rev. DR.. w. w. Moore,
visits to Davidson are always looked
forward to by College and town wifi
the keenest anticipations of pleasure
and profit to be derived from them, and
thus far In his notable career he has
never disappointed expectations If anv.
thing this last visit with the two ser.
mons on Sunday was the best of all
though it is perhaps nearer the truth
to say that his latest work ALWAYS
seems to be the best. One feels that DR.
Moore's reputation as a preacher, in
creasing apparently as the years go by
would be heavy load for the possess
or to sustain but somehow he seems To
carry it with all ease and shows no sign
OF breaking down under it's growing
weight. The morning sermon was from
the text: Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter, ETC." At night the
life story and character of Samson, with
the lessons to be drawn therefrom were
presented. A visitor remarked after the
night service, and he was not Presby-
terrain, nor clerical in profession.
that's the finest sermon I ever heard. I
could sit here and listen all night to
preaching like that"
Following the week of prayer in the
Y. M. G. A., which extends from Novem-
Der II to the 18th, series of services
Will De conducted in the association hall
by Rev. 1. H. Cornelson, of Concord.
Copies of DR.. Shearer's latest book,
Sermon on the Mount have been re-
ceived here. In outward appearance,
binding, and printing it is a very at
tractfve volume, and most competent
critics who read the manuscript were
enthusiastic in their praise of It's con-
tents, asserting that the style is vigor-
Gus the thoughts striking and the treat
ment of the subject as a whole quite new
and fresh. The book is issued by the
Presbyterian Committee of Publication.

ALL-STEEL CARS
PROOF AGAINST
EVERY M|SHAP

Philadelphia, Aug. 11.--An future pas
senger equipment OF the Pennsylvania
railroad will be made OF steel. The neces-
sity OF providing non-collapsible. absb-
lutely freproof passenger cars for the
New York tunnel has hastened the day
when this Transformation must take
place. The car Of the future must be as
safe as engineering science can make II. )"
The future passenger equipment Is to
be OF not only steel frame and box, but
non-combustible material In every par
ticular.
The decision now reached will call for
about 1000 unburnable cars to be ready
when the New York tunnel Is completed.
IL will also call for some 800 Pullman
cars which must also be OF completely
nor-combustible construction. At the
request OF the Pennsylvania railroad, tho
Puliamn company is now building the
first all-steel sleeper ever constructed.
The first car to be built wherein the
main object has been TO secure the ell
mination Of every particle OF non-com-
bustible material Is No. 1851 which
weighs 1Oa.550 pounds against $500 for
the standard wooden coach, but the
added weight greatly reduces the vibra-
tion. No considerable part OF the addi-
tional weight is involved In carrying
storage batteries and battery boxes. az
minated cars OF any kind into its New
York tunnel.
The new car Is absolutely non-collapsi-
BILE. 1t could stand any load or any
collision. It's hidden frame Is like a can
tilever bridge, suspended on the trucks
as piers. This safety against telescop-
ing In secured by the use OF enormous
steel girders, the principal feature In the
body of the car being a central box gir-
der "a inches wide by 10 inches deep ex-
tending throughout the length Of the
coach.
The flooring throughout the car and
platform, consists of an imitation OF
stone spread while In a plastic state over
the steel plates of the car. The framing
