Hill Monument.
The dedication in June of a mag
nifcent new addition to the Mother
Church Of the Christian Science de-
nomination, in Boston, was an eyen4
of the highest Significance in the his
tory of this religious body.
Built as the result of spontaneous
recognition of Mrs. Eddy's life work and
of the imperative demands of the mar
yelous growth of the movement ex-
pressing the liberality of thousands of
Christian Scientists, and embodying
the best in architectural design and
modern construction, this new building
was logically the central feature of
this years gathering.
The church is one of the largest, If
not the largest in the United States,
its seating capacity being SOP. Its
style of architecture is Italian Renais-
sance. The pews and other interior
finishings are of mahogany. The
walls are Concord granite and Bedford
stone, with beautiful decorative carv-
ings. The inside finish is a soft gray
to harmonic with the Bedford stone
columns supporting the DOME The
height of the building to the top of the
lantern is 224 feet, just one foot higher
than Bunker Hill monument. The
dome is eighty-two feet in diameter
and is covered with terra Gotta to
match the Bedford stone. The build
ing presents stately, dignified and
impressive appearance, and it is al
ready recognized as one of the land
marks of Boston.
The cost of the building is some
thing less than 100000. The new
chimes consist of eleven bells, the
largest of which weighs 1000 pounds.
The smallest bell weighs 400 pounds.
The organ is one of the largest and
finest in the world.

awkward work getting to the boy and
lifting him into the boat.
When the signora saw that her son
was safe the anguish in her face gave
way to a look of resolute purpose, and
as the dripping Antonio was placed on
the wharf she laid him across her knee

mothers have done to their erring

growers associations, whose duty it would be to see that no inferior grades were shipped. that no false packing was allowed, that nothing but the very best of grades were put up, that these were put in neat, attractive packages, and that these be shipped only to such markets as would take the fruit at paying prices. Further, that 1t should be the duty or office of this inspector and shipper to post himself thoroughly as to markets, and to prevent shipments to markets that were overstocked and turn the shipments to points where there would be a chance to sell at prices that would leave the grower some profits for his labor.
 Had the advice of the Farm and Ranch and the Age-Herald been needed last fall and these matters been taken under ad- visement during the past winter. much could have been already accomplished along these lines, all of which is go- ing to be badly needed before our grow CTS get through with the present year s crop. But here comes in another trouble. which Is that our American people. as a rule. live only for the present.

ELECTRIC TRUNK LINES.
Possible Effect They May Have on Flu
 ture Freight Rates.

From the Wall Street Journal.
 Within the last few days an announce ment has been made of a proposed air line electric route between New York and Chicago. reduced to n distance of 742 miles, the run to be made in ten hours The Pcnnsylvania railroad line between Chicago and New York is 9l2 miles. The electric air line route would thus cut off ITO miles. or 1S6 per cent of the steam road distance.
 Assuming that an electric trunk line between Chicago and New York Is finan- cially and otherwise practicable, and this Is open to question, the strategic value of such project is such as possibly to have a far-reaching effect on the whole trunk line situation If electric lines could eventually parallel the trunk lines to the Atlantic and Gulf seaports their influence on the railroad situation might not stop With passenger traffic. They would begin to tell sooner or later on freight conditions They would not sim- pIy figure as feeders of the railroad, as they are now generally doing. but possi- bly reduce the ton-mile rate of freight to q new low basis of cost. The average revenue a ton-mle for the year ended June 30. 1903, was .72e, and for 1904. .IS0c. This Is the lowest average cost of any railroad system in the world. but cannot he accepted as fnaiity, The probable eff feet of electric line construction on rail- way rates would not only be found to influence through freights, but might be still more marked in it's effect upon local freieht rates This is doubtless a far lcolx ahead but the development Of elec- trical mower has been so rapid and mar velous that its possible future growth be- comes subject of fascinating interest.

---.o.---------- AGRICULTURAL.
The Peach Industry.

For some time the peach growers have been looking forward to the time to come when the millions of peach trees that have been planted all over the south would come into bearing, wondering ana waiting to see what would be the re- suit. The indications are that the grow CT will have an opportunity thls season for satisfying his curiosity on this sub ject. For some years past, each season has witnessed the planting of millions of peach trees for commercial purposes and planters have been encouraged in these paintings by the pas; history Of the peach industry, which has been that all sections of the country were not like ly to have a full crop of peaches in any one year. so that the hopes of many growers have been based on this fact' that while his crop might be full one, that other sections would fail and that he could market his crop at u profit. But now the grower Is face to face with u far different proposition for the indi- cations are that the crop will be good generally and that we are to have the largest peach crop in the history of this country. This means cheap peaches and means, too. that none but the very best fancy stock. packed in the most attractive manner, will bring fancy prices.
 Another hope that the growers have relied upon largely for enabling them
 
 is that they could ship and sell with the season ahead of them or before fruit north of them was ready for the market, and this has helped the sale of peaches somewhat, but the chances are that this condition will have less influence this year than 1t ever had before, from the fact that when buyers know there is to be great crop of peaches in their imme- diate locality which they will be able to buy fresh from the trees, they are likely to wait for these. and this has its influence on the marketing of imported stocks. And again. these people are not going to pay high prices for fruit when they can get better fruit for less prices by waiting only few days longer. To what extent this may or may not infiu- ence prices this season remains to be seen but speak advisedly and from ex- perience.
 When crops of any kind are abundant. prices are more easily influenced and most generally the influence is not In fa- vor of the grower However, these ere

Tuscaloosa, May, 6.-(Special) )-Dam- age to the amount of several thou sand dollars was done last night up at the Tuscaloosa mills at Cottondale as the result of fire. The fire occurred in the warehouse of the mills, where the product of the mills are stored. II was discovered about 8 o'clock and 0 hose was turned on the fire at once. There is generally on hand not less than $5O,0OO of goods in this warehouse, and had 1t not been for the immediate attention of the employees or the mills the loss would have been much greater.

untrue or should give grave offense to the Presidents name. They were the great constitutional lawyers of the Senate mak- ing Ingenious arguments against any lmi- tatfon of court review and they were troublesome and and were likely to be troublesome In any attempt 10 carry the Long-Moody limitation through the Sen ate by the votes of twenty-five or more democrats and twenty or less republican senators. What harm was there in the President saying that he had come to a final isagreement with them, on the day when he had held a White House confer enee with a view to uniting democratic and republican forces in carrying lim- itation or court review then and there agreed upon. He could say it in or out Of their presence without giving offense to them. Nor was it a very strong express sion to say that they are trying to injWe or defeat the bill by ingenious legislative arguments. IL did not mean that they were trying 10 defeat the bill if il could be amended to meet their views. MT. knox had declared it to be unconstitu- tional unless amended and that was the general position of the opponents of linn tied court review which led the Presiden. on that day 10 conclude it would be best to expressly grant the jurisdiction to re- view but to rlgdly limit it to the two objects named. The only harm that | can see that has come in the whole busi- ness was the abandonment of any attempt to carry. that limitation of the review without any previous notice to senators Tillman and Bailey.

when this is the case, people will always buy more freely and will not be so par ticular about prices. So if growers will give timely heed to the practical sugges- tions offered in these papers they may be able to market much of their peach crop this year to good advantage. and so be able to stand off for the present the inevitable financial crash which is destined sooner or later to overtake the peach industry in this country. Unless we can make our export trade a success, we are planting peaches too fast for the demands of our home people

Spooner Amendment.


 This Spooner amendment was not off, fered in the Senate until May 10. but that I learn that 1t had been in existence and shown to the President as early as March 31, does not appear. But this is certain if the President had on that night told me that he cordially approved of 1t and I had so reported to MT. Till man there would have ensued no con- ferences looking to cooperation. there fore the President as to that amendment, had in mind a conversation at some other time or with some other person.
 ''It should also be borne in mind that the report I made to MT. Tillman of the Presidents conversation is comparatively harmless and inoffensive. Here it is: He said he had been much troubled by the advocacy of an unlimited court review by some of the lawyers of the Senate. naming Senators Knox, Spooner and For aker. as trying to injure or defeat the bill by ingenious legislative argument but that he had come to complete disagree ment with them.'
