DIR. ElinpO Resigns.

Rev. DIR. O. F. Flippo, who is we'll
known in Alexandria and who for a
number of wears was pastor OF the First
Baptist Church in this city. but who
has recently been connected with the
American Baptist Publishing Society,
of Philadelphia, has resigned his posi-
ton as secretary on account OF i'll health.
Dr. Hippo has been confined to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. d. j. Beau
champ, in Wilmington, Del, for some
months with a complication of heart and
kidney diseases. He wished to relin-
quish his position several times, but the
officers of the society would not accept
his resignation. When it became appar-
ent that he could no longer travel aud
speak for the society the directors were
forced to relieve him, but persuaded him
to accept the position of secretary
emeritus. which will give them the
benefit of his advice and experience.
Years ago DIR. Flippo was pastor al
Waverly Baptist Church, and a few
years b. fore was the general missionary
of the Baptist Church for the district OF
Delaware. He WAS also once the pastor
of the Baptist Church at Dover, Del,
and was chaplain Of the House of Rep

SAVE THE OLD IRON.

Professor g. X. Leith Of the
University of Wisconsin is author
| ity for the statement that the
worlds supply of iron ore, now
known, will be exhausted in about
Rfty years.
Iron once used will be care
fully saved and recast, and much
ore which under present cOndi-
tons is not profitable to handle
will take a leading place in the
field of the iron industry.
In his estimate of 10000, 600, .
600 tons as the worlds available
supply of iron ore, Professor Tor
nebohn assigns 100, 900, 600 to
the United States, 1900, coo, 200
to Germany, l,000,0O0,0O0 to
Great Britain, l,5OO, 100000 each
to Russia and France and the re-
mainder to other countries. The
tons of metallic iron estimated
ran from 603, l66, 800 for the Uni
ted States to 1926, 900, 600 for Ger.
many.
Should the increased rate of
consumption of the immediate
past continue until the year 1000,
the world will then be using 1876
per cent more iron than it does at
present.
According to figures of experts,
the reserve of the United States
is sufficient only to meet demand
during the next twenty years.

CRISIS IN OLD MEXICO.

The Mexican republic is APP
preaching a political crisis. Por-
irio Dias, the architect and bull
der of modern Mexico, will soon
close his remarkable account with
the nation. and the reins of the
government will pass to the
hands of another.
If Diaz lives until the end of his
present term he will be 80 years
of age.
What will follow the passing of
Diaz cannot be foretold at the
present time. His rule has been
absolute and prolonged, and, in
view of his extraordinary genius
and capacity for government, it
is possible that Mexico may never
see his equal in future years.
However, the people of Mexico
generally do not anticipate troub-
lie, believing that the political or
ganization built up by Diaz, and
the institutions he has establish
ed, will endure. 1t is probable,
therefore, that the coming crisis
will be watched with greater
anxiety outside of Mexico, par
ticularly in the United States.
