Mobile, Jan s. The reorganixed Chamber of Com merce is working for the consolidation of tNe commercial bodies here, but only tentative steps have been taken as yet.
 At recent meeting, at which all the members of the Chamber of Commerce, whether stockholders or not. were ac- corded the right to hold offjce, res olution was adopted directing the of- flcers to ascertain if consolidation or the several bodies was feasible, and while no formal proposition has been made to the other bodies, some of the leaders of the Maritime Exchange and Shippers Association were approached on the subject and took informal steps to ascertain what the ideas of the Chamber of Commerce were.
 The matter, therefore. Is only in an embryonic stage. but the next few days will probably determine whether there is any probability of consolida- ton of any two or more of the bodies.

 Owing to recent publications by two of the papers here that the Y. W. c. A. provided home for Florida girl who is alleged to have been abducted, the Y. M. C. A., secretary has fs- sued a statement to the public. ex- plaining that the Y. W. C. A. does not do rescue work, but confines itself exclusively to the care of girls against whom no suspicion has ever been at- ,tached in order that they may be pro .feeted from all possible dangers of 'the world.
 The girl whose case resulted in the original publications and the Y. W. C. A. secretary's explanation. was cared for while here by the gymnastic director of the Y. M. c. A. and his wife, who took the unfortunate girl to their home until her father. who came here from Florida. took her to New Orleans and placed her in an institution there.

LEGENDS ON PAPAL COINS.

In this connection IT may be Of interest TO know
that for centuries the Popes expressed in Biblical
phrases or moral sentences lessons of charity and
kindness in the legends stamped their coins
These coins have been out of circulation for long
time. but the Popes evidently believed that the
struments of charity should be regarded as preach
ing sermon charity. It would be impossible
TO relate here more than few of these brief SER
mons which the Popes preached to the people over
whom they ruled and which undoubtedly contrib
uted to the exercise of the virtue of charity which
was thus universally inculcated. The legends
or inscriptions are all IN Latin. and each almost

silver. There is no wickeder than the miser''

The President, however is not the only head ofa

known in Italy. All such work is promptly and
properly done.
THE streets in these cities are kept clean:
not only the principal ones. but the side streets
and alleyways. One OF the best proofs of this
statement is that there is scarcely any dust

such thing in italian cities.

York to see hundreds OF unsightly garbage cans
filled with filthy refuse standing for hours on
the sidewalks in front of the houses, I have
never seen anything OF the kind In Italian cities
and do not believe that such practices would
be tolerated
THE cause of imperfect conditions In New
York City and, doubtless, in other American
cities lies in the fact that our whole system of
civic government is permeated with politics
Until such influences are eliminated there is
not much hope for any marked improvement.
The conduct OF civic affairs on a nOn-partisan
basis would do much toward attaining the de-

LESSONS FROM ITALY.

The former president OF the West End Asso-

returned from a six months sojourn in Italy.
He spent several weeks in each of the four
principal cities-Rome. Naples Genoa and Flor

a careful study of the physical conditions in
those cities. and found that American cities

pavements, street cleaning and the collection

cupied about two days. and then the opening
was carefully filled and leveled and permitted
to settle and in less than one week the sidewalk
and roadway had been restored to their previous

In New York how differently would the work
