COOPERATION DESIRED.
Church Delegates Discuss Plans of a
Union.

Chicago, May Ss-A proposed union of
the Congregational church with that or
the United Brethren and the Methodist
Protestant churches was the subject of
a spirited discussion by delegates to the
general congregational meeting. The rad
ical eongregationalists opposed anything
that would tend to encroaeh upon freedom
of thought and action in the local coun-
ellis The more conservative delegates
held that uniform method of co-opera-
ton in Congregational church work was
needed A resolution was made which
provided for a union of the churches
along general lines, but with some well
defined restrictions. A report read by the
Rev. W. f. Barton on changes needed In
Congregational polity was adopted. The
Rev Washington Chote, corresponding
secretary. spoke of 1.-THE achievements of
so years" He commenced his address by
a summary of the condition of the Con-
gregational church in this country so
years ago by saying that at that time
but 1863 missionaries labored in the home
mission field and at the present time
they numbered 203S. and these cover
more than 1000 frontier points.
This society has plats," says Mr..
Choate. "of more than 1000 churches in
the eight decades OF its history and 1850
of these have grown to the strength OF
self support and have become sharers in
the great UNCONVENTIONAL and philan-
thropic ENTERPRISES.

New Court Bill,

The bill to allow Judge Jones ex-
north Alabama is not, it appears, II
bill for that purpose alone. The Wash
Ilgton correspondent of the Montgom-
cry Advertiser says, ut is understood
the bill will likely make change in
the time for holding the court in Blr-
mingham, as some of the members are
said to feel that this could be done
without causing friction among the
lawyers of Birmingham who endorsed
the Underwood bill that was recently
passed"
No bill can be put through at this
late day unless it commands unani-
nous consent. and any bill that gives
Birmingham less than six months of
court will not find Mr., Underwood nap
ping Mr.. Underwood knows what
Birmingham needs, and he will never
support a bill that gives Birmingham
less than six months of court in the
year. Nor can bill be slipped through
that he does not know the nature of.
The correspondent of the Montgomery
Advertiser will soon see that the rep
resentative of the Birmingham district
is not man who sleeps at his post.

Europe and Wall Street.

The gold movement goes ON I'M
checked, and it is estimated that the
total will reach $4,000 900 before it
stops. One-third of that amount has
been actually received in New York
since March IL, when the first engage
ment of gold was made by the Ma
tional City bank.
The present movement is by no
means unexampled, for Wall street
drew gold from Europe in August
1893. to the amount of SAL, 100000. In
September, 1896, the amount imported
was $34.300,000, and in April, 1898. we
attracted this way $4,000 900. The
first of the three was time of panic;
the second was due to Wall street
fears of the election of Mr.. Bryan, and
the third to the coming on of the war
with Spain.
Present conditions and those of 1882
1896 or 1898 do not closely correspond
and it is not easy to forecast the length
or the extent of the present gold move
meme Three things are certainly in
yolyed-the payment of the losses in
San Francisco of foreign insurance
companies; the purchase by all Europe
of American securities in the current
slump. and the size of the growing
crops. The last-named may relate
more to the return of gold rather than
to the present inflow. All these things
and many more render the situation
exceedingly complex, but the best opin-
ion seems to be that about $50,000,000
will be imported and that it will not
be sent back at an early date.

My Hat and the Motorist.

1.-THE idea that every man who runs an
automobile will run over everything in
the highway. excepting a locomotive or a
street car, or other obstacles equally for
midable, is not correct in every instance"
remarked young man last night.
1.-THE other afternoon my hat blew off
and was carried by the wind across
Twentieth street and directly in front
of an automobile. OF course I expected
my derby to be mashed as fat as the
proverbial pancake. You know an auto
mobillst is seldom given credit for pos
sessng much fraternal consideration. But
instead of not seeing the hat and driving
on, he stopped his machine short and
waited. with one wheel actually touching
my headdress until I could walk over.

II don't know who the motorist was,
but I've got better feeling toward auto
mobiles and chauffeurs as a class since
my best hat was saved"

II am very much interested in the meet

Thursday afternoon, for it Is the annual

the election of a president and other Of

club.
There are two members of the club
who have been suggested as president
Frank Nelson, Jr., and Robert Jemison.
Jr. The former states, / am told, that he
has not the time to devote to the presi-
dency of the club, but he would make a
model leader If he would accept the place.
Robert Jemlson, Jr., is a young man,
but what we need is young man at the
head of the progressive Organization, and
| know no young man in the city more
capable of holding the position The
young men have to take hold of the city
sooner or later, and | believe that now is
the accepted time.
''If Mr.. Jemson Jr., would take the
place, and | believe that he would, he
could rally around him number of the
life into the club. know that the older
men would stand by Mr.. Jemison ana

that we would get more support from
the young members than ever before We
would also get a large number of new
members among the young men,

Melancholy as a lovers lutte.
II King Henry ~.
Triumph of the French Bloc.

The chamber of deputies just elected
is the ninth of the third republic. When
the republic was organized chambers
were elected for terms of seven years,
but in February 1875, the life of the
great controlling political body was
cut to four years. A fresh election
must therefore be held in the spring
of 1910, and so on every four years.
The conservative senate has not
much weight in France. One-third of
its members are chosen by itself, AMI
remainder by departments which are
lation of our states. The radical re-
publicans, led by Gambetta, intended
that the chamber of deputies should
control the country, and their plans
hold good TO this day. The compost
ton or desires of the senate are
scarcely considered at all.
The ra1.cal majority In the chamber
will be nearly 100 over all-over the
moderate republicans and the reaction
ists-and considerable radical legisla-
ton becomes possible, including an
eight-nour day for wage workers. Pre-
mier Sarrien is a radical republican
himself, and President Fallieres leans
that way, but no account need be taken
of the President, for he has no more
political power than the senate. The
chamber of deputies rules the country,
and 1t cannot be dissolved.

where $4,000 in bills sent to the First

clerks, including Luckstone. for eight
hours in a room in the federal build
ing and had told them that they would
not let them go until information was
forthcoming as to what had become
of the money. Luckstone said he
was weak from hunger, got into an

to end his life by cutting his throat

ever. and was placed under arrest.

Sinai the Key.
llana.

The trouble that has sprung up be-
tween Great Britain and the Sublime
Porte relates to the Peninsular of
Sinai, upon which is located Mt. Sinai.
A glance at the map is needful in order
to understand the situation. The Suez
canal lies between Port Said on the
Mediterranean and Suez at the head
of the Gulf of Suez. The Sinai penin-
lar lies between the Gulf of Suez and
an arm of the Red sea, at the head of
which arm stands Tabar and also Ak
abah, the Elath of the days OF Solo
mon. The peninsula of Sinai has long
been considered a part of Egypt. III
is so laid down on the modern maps.
1t is sometimes called the Itshmus OF
Suez. The Sultan claims it is part
of Arabia, and not part of Egypt, and
he seems to desire to have another
Algeciras conference consider the mat
ter.
The Sultan has sent troops TO the
peninsula-to Akabah, and England
has sent ships there, and the Turks
will either have to take their troops
out of the peninsula, or get ready for
battle. for England does not propose
to have her line of communication with
India and the Far East endangered In
any such manner, even if her title to
Egypt is not the best in the world.
England is not standing upon Egyptian
rights. She proposes to deal with the
Sultan directly, no matter who is be-
hind him, and it is suspected that the
Kaiser is again becoming busy. The
ten days granted by England for Turk
ish evacuation will soon expire, and
then the issue will become acute, and
there will be no Algeciras nonsense.
Ever since 1S41 the whole of the
Sinai peninsula has been considered a
part of Egypt, and no objection arose
until the Sultan and German capital
lists began to build a railroad from
Damascus to Mecca. At the former
city ii should connect with the railroad
system of Anatolia and Asia Minor.
The proposed line to Mecca passes
near the Sinai peninsula, and is to
some extent at least dominated by it.
The Mecca line is about two-thirds
completed, and the Sultan proposes to
! build branch line to Akabah, which
he desires to make a great port.
The Sultan says he will not with
draw his troops from Akabah, because
| he is sovereign in Egypt anyway, and
England has no intention of permitting
the Germans or the Turks Or both COM
| bined to build a strong town near her
line of communication. There is a
great deal at stake, and neither side
shows any sign of backing out, GER
tainly not England.

"A RituIIthic Belt Boulevard"

THE bituiithic pavement which is to

Norwood and the North Highlands said
a lover of the "town-beautifur' yester-
day, will make a splendid driveway and
incidentally will be great boost for that
section of the city.

of the Southside don't wake up and ex-
tend the bitulithic pavement from Rail-
road avenue, where it is now proposed to
stop it, out TO the Highland avenue resi-
dence district of the South Highlands.
My interest in this matter is simply
that of a public spirited citizen who
wants to see Birminghams driveways
improved and beautifed as far as pos
sible The residents of the southside
should be interested in connecting these
driveways, because 1t will increase the
value of their property"
