Dr. Smaller Matthews in Birmingham.

Dr. Smaller Matthews arrived today and gave his first lecture the Social Teach ings of Jesus" before the pastors and teach CTS at the First Baptist Church here at 1O:30 this morning. The lecture was introducto- ry and was an exposure of the attitude of Jesus toward social matters He showed very clearly that Jesus had a message for the social world which while colored with the condition of hls own times yet contain ed message for social problems of every age. It was, there fore, the privilege and duty of preachers of the gospel to speak this message as well. He took up the life of Jesus to show that he lived in the social world, was part of it, and knew 1t not as an experimenter or statistician. but because of an experience in It's deepest recesses He belonged to all classes. but lived especially with the so-called People of the Land" tho poor who Pharlsees thought were accursed because they knew not the day. So by ex- perience Jesus know men. and needed not that should show him.
 He then discussed the teachings of Jesus in the light of the social problems of today showing that Jesus dealt with the individ- ual. would Imake society good by making its constituents good men. that he was not a socialist nor a Utopian dreamer Not even Plato succeeded in convincing the world of the practicability of his republic because 1t is so far separated from human nature But the idealism of Jesus at once convinces of the practicability of It's realization. The ethics of Jesus was that men should be like their God and so be sons of God and the law Of that ethical life was the principle of love in which all loves were fulfilled
 Dr. Matthews will lecture again this even

SALOONS ARE CLOSED
MAYOR WARD ORDERS CHIEF OF
 POLICE TO ACT.
Arrests Made for Violation of the sun- day Law and Then Licenses are Reyoked--sIinisters Endorse
 the Idea.

Birmingham. March 26.--(Special) J. Mayor George B. Ward this morning wrote letter to Chief of Police ". E, Wier ordering him to close the saloons of R. A. Borck and R. J. Montgomery, one located on the southside and the other on Fourteenth Street and Sew enth Avenue. Yesterday the police made arrests at these two saloons on charges of violating the Sunday law and the order of the Mayor follows this incident. Several weeks ago 1t was announced that stringent steps would be taken in case of violations of the Sunday law and already five saloons have been closed by the Mayor. The City Council will take up the matter of the closing of the Borck and Mont gomery saloons at its next meeting. If the proprietors are convicted of vio- lating the Sunday law it is not prob- able they will be permitted to continue the business.
 Ministers have endorsed the idea be- ing carried out by the Mayor and Chief of Police Wier states that the action being taken is encouraging the work of the department in enforcing the Sun day law.

COOK WITH GAS

and bureaus have admitted that the force could be reduced without injury to the public service
 In 1898 the net increase of expendi- ture for new offices and salaries was $55,557,996 in 1899, $1S.953.056; in 1901, $21,955,221; in 1903, $14.330.297; in 1904, S306, 147; in 1905, SIG, 0,450. .965. For this enormous increase of civil offices, clerk ships and salaries in 1898, the war with Spain is assigned as the chief cause. But curiously enough, the increase went on all the same in the peaceful Depart ment of Agriculture, with it's endless ramifcation of offices and bureaus. Nor, as is seen by the figures for subsequent years. has there been a serious arrest in this business of creating government offices and salaries.
 The process of this official industry for exploiting the Government has Jeen reduced to science. Whenever group of employees are engaged in particular clerical work they organize themselves into a bureau. The head of the department then goes before the proper committee of the House ana pleads the necessity of this bureau. whereupon an appropriation for the pur- pose is made without more ado' an9 e the new bureau is created, with US oIIlclai al.i paraphernalla. There has never been so enterprising a manufacturer or tnls sort of Government furniture us the genial Secretary of the Agricultural
 In the House there are ten standing committees upon the expenditures of the several departments, and these are assumed to exercise some control over official extravagance. Although these committees are provided with spacious and luxuriously furnished rooms and clerks, they seldom meet. With few exceptions new and inexperienced mem bers compose these committees. which should be among the most important in the House. But whether their mem bers be old and experienced or not, it is all the same The interference of the committees with department eX- penditure would be treated as an In- pertinencc, so that so far as the busi- ness of legislation is concerned they

FOOD HELPS In Management of a R. R.

Speaking of food a railroad man says:
 My work puts me out in all kinds of weather, subject to irregular hours for meals and compelled to eat all kinds of food.
 For years I was constantly trou- bled with indigestion, caused by eat ing heavy, fatty, starchy. greasy, poor 1y cooked food, such as are most access sible to men in my business. General ly each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sen sations in my stomach which destroyed my sleep and almost united me for work My brain was so muddy and foggy that it was hard for me to dis charge my duties properly.
 This lasted till about a year ago, when my attention was called to Grape Nutes food by a newspaper ad. and l concluded to try it. Since then I have used Grape-N Nuts at nearly every meal and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to pre- pare our food in our cabooses and find Grape-Nuts mighty handy for it is ready cooked.
 ITO make a long story short, Grape Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no moVe burning distress in my stomach, nor any other symptom of indigestion. 1 can digest anything so long as l cat Grape-Nuts, and my brain works as clearly and accurately as an engineers watch, and my old nervous troubles have disappeared en- tirely."

Tennc.see Directors Nfeet.

The Board of Directors of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company held meeting today in the office of President Don H. Bacon, in the Wood ward Building. At 80 o'clock, when adjournment was taken after three hours session, it was announced that another meeting of the Board will be held Wednesday at 10 a. m. Those in the meeting were Don H. Bacon, President and Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee; John w. Gates, L. C.. Hanna. S. G. Cooper, l.. T. Beecher, E. W. Oglebay. The directors consid- cred plans for extensive extensions of the company's properties in the district, but nothing was decided upon today.
 It is understood that the directors had under consideration today the im- mediate erection of a steel plant to cost $2,000,000. However, no informa- ton was given out with authority. The directors immediately after the meet ing took up the work of inspecting the properties of the company. The private car of the directors went out to Pratt City where the mines in the Pratt division were thoroughly inspected. There is still an impression througnout the district that the Tennessee Com pany Is preparing to spend something like $15,000,000 in this district. It is understood that more than two of the directors believe in immediate extension of properties in Alabama.

FOR GREENE AND GAYNOR.
Omcerr of the Engineering Corps Give
 Testimony.

Testimony.
 Savannah, March 26.-Rapid progress in the examination of witnesses for the defense was made in the Greene and Gaynor case today. Four officers of rank in the engineer corps of the army were on the stand and their testimony was highly favorable to Greene and Gaynor.
 It is expected that Lieut.. Col. J. B. Quinn will occupy the stand tomorrow. He has been in charge of the Savannah district since Maj. Cassius E. Gillette was transferred several years ago and after close examination of and experi- ence with the work done by the con tractors under the Carter administra- ton he holds to the view that it was honestly and faithfully carried out and that the results have been highly bene- fcial.
 The evidence presented today, es- pecially that secured from Maj. Rees was of special interest. He detailed a conversation that had occurred be- tween himself and Major Gillette soon after the coming of the latter to this city. This conversation had in certain essentials been denied by Major Gill lette when he was on the stand but Maj. Rees adhered strongly to his ver- sion of it.

The Pratt Citv Roow

The real estate boom which has been on for several days here. reached a high point Friday and Saturday of last week. Saturday afternoon everybody went wild and seemed To be buying and selling. There were about twenty people from BiI mingham and other roints in the city and 1t looked for while like Pratt City was going to pass from the hands of the people who have made the city. The interests that changed hands foot up in the neighborhood of S1OO 900 and to count the options taken would run nearly to S2,O00,000. Dr, J. F. Seay purchased the Fayette property on Southside. in what is known as French Town, in all about ten acres. The consideration was about $50 0O0- This was probably about the largest transaction made so far. Property in the husinesss portion of the city on First avenue and along Third and oFurth Streets has nearly all changed hands within the last week. Those who have not sold in the above mentioned section have taken their property off the market for the present or are ask ing greatly increased prices for the same Much interest Is manifest today but there seems to be inclination to hold still Jr the present and await developments.
