 w. c. Swanson, of the State Depart- ment of Education, addressed the boys of inc Y, NJ. c. A. last night on The fife of Napoleon," and from the start won the interest and enthusiasm Of those present by assuring them or his hiph regard and respect for boynood because of the infinite possibilities rep resented by them. 'To me boy is man not yet grown, and for this reason should be treated with the utmost re- snect. the same as would be accorded to a man.. ,
 After giving accurately the htstori- cal setting of Napoleon's life and the conditions of Europe. and particularly France preceding his birth, he entered more fully upon the early education and training received at the State Mil- itary Academy. This portion or ms talk was interspersed with many in- teresting anecdotes of the life of Ma noleon. The speaker then took up the peniuc power and influence of the great Emperor.
 Tn conclusion, Mir. Swanson pointed out the value of being prepared for service by having a well equipped mind as a basis of operations. Wealth. hon. or. or all that the world can give, are nothing to us unless they are the pro- duct of our own individual achieve ments.
 Napoleon is a model to men wh do things" said the speaker. He was young man of good habits, and we are to admire him for his mind, his will to do things, and above all for his devo- tion to and his love for his mother"
 In later talk MT. Swanson may take up the victories and the defeats of the great military genius At the conclusion of the talk the boys pres ent extended MT. Swanson thanks for his interesting and splendid talk, and for his kindness in addressing them.

MADAME CHILDS'S PORTRAIT
 IS UNVEILED AT ALIENS

Athens, Dec. 6-(Special. 1.-The un. yelling of the handsome oil portrait or Madame Jane Hamilton Childs. presi- dent of the Athens Female College from 1859 to 1867, was the occasion last night at the. College for one of the most interesting happenings that has occurred here in long while
 A delightful program was carried out and Miss Nal Hammerly,t one of the first graduates of the institution, who is one of the oldest and most be- loved women of the town. pulled the cord that revealed to the large audi ence. the classic features as brought out on canvas of one of the most remark able and wonderful women who ever resided in Athens. Madame Childs was not alone prominent because of her wise management of the educational institution she presided over, but be- ceauSe of her strong character.
 She did much for the relief of the people of Athens during the great civ il gwar. Being a loyal Union woman, she had great influence with the Fed eral officers and 1t was to her good judgment that much evil was averted to the citizens of the town.
 The large chapel of the college was filled to overffowing last night and the occasion was one long to be remem- bered. The Alabama Conference D. A. R.. were present and participated in the unveiling.
 Old Aunt" Ann Chiids, one of the faithful old servants of Madame Childs, still resides here and was re- ceived most cordially by many of the former students of Madame Childs who were here to participate in the cere- monies. Aunt Ann makes an annual pilgrimage to Huntsville, to lay flow CTS on the grave of her departed mis- tress, to whose memory she fondiy clings. She saves enough money dur ing the year to pay her way there and back, and with baskets of rare flow CTS, she goes to thei mound beneath which sleeps this remarkable woman and covers it afresh with roses. Such loyalty Is rarely found.
 This picture will occupy prominent place in the handsome library of the college. Miss Mary N. Moore, present president, Is the second woman to have charge of the destinies of teh college. and 1t Is remarkable to relate that un- der the guiding hand of these two wo- men. the college has done greater things than under the hand of any male president. Under the present ad- ministration about ss0,oo0 has been added to the plant in the way of equipment, and two hundred boarding girls are there now. e.53

KEALHoFER GETS NEWS.
History of the Montgomery Complaint
 sr' Against Rates.

~ Against Rates.
 A stelegram was received here yes- ferday by H. s. Kealhofer Manager of the Montgomery Freight Bureau, and Clark, of the Interstate Commerce Commission. will be in Montgomery in January to conduct hearing Of the petition of the Montgomery Freight Bureau, asking for the removal Of dis criminating rates from the west into Montgomery.
 Tine case is one that the merchants and business men of the city are deep ly interested in. It is alleged in the petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission that the disertminations have been practiced by the Louisville and Nashville, Mobile and Ohio, the Southern. the New Orleans and Texas, Illinois Central and the Nashviile, Chattanooga and St. Louis.
 The telegram to Manager Kealhofer stated that the hearing in Montgom- cry will be conducted on JanuarysS, 3 and To- but 1t is probable that the roads will request postponement, as at this time the injunction cases against the State will be on trial. It is possible, however, that an earlier date will be set.
 The petition of the Montgomery Freight Bureau alleges that the rates published by the roads from the Ohio and Mississippi crossings 10 Montgom- cry are unreasonable and unjust in their relations to the rates from the same points to Pensacola and Mobile.
 It is declared that rates to Mont somery, Mobile. Pensacola and Birm- ingham are constructed by adding fix ed charges or differentials from points Inf origin therein to the rates author fzed and regularly issued by the lines fin question from points known com monIy as Mississippi and Ohio cross- ings.
 The first. table cited in the petition sets forth the average rate per ton per mile from St. Louis to Birmingham, .025s. From St. Louis to Montgomery the table shows that the average rate per ton is .0270. The average rate un- der the same conditions from St. Louis to Mobile is put down in the same ta- bIe as 0146. In the same way the tonnage rates on the mile is compared from Memphis. Louisville and Cincin- nati and in each Instance the Mont eomery rate Is the high est. As com ment on this table the Interstate Com merce Commission is informed that the Louisville and Nashville, over which most of the freight Is shipped, passes through Montgomery to go to Mobile and Pensacola. and that Mobile is a longer distance by 1S0 miles, and Pen sacola is a longer distance by 162 miles.
 \ It is further stated in the complaint that an average of the first class rates from St. Louis show that to Birming- ham, the total is 6S.6. to Pensacola,
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-12-07

59.1, to Mobile 59.1, while to Mont gomery the average, is S4.6.
 Another table prebents the rates on 100 pound lots and claims that Mont gomery is discrfminated against in fa- vor of Mobile and Pensacola. The ta- ble sets out that from Cincinnati 70 Montgomery the rate on 10o pound lots the rate is 9s. The table is continued to show that the same discrimination prevails in the rate from every city of the. west and central west
 Cna Re Reshipped Cheaper.
 The complaint admits that the roads which are made defendants In the cause are not initial lines in Kansas City, OmahaNand Chicago but are nev- ertheless controlling carriers to Mo- bile. Montgomery and Pensacola, and by their acceptance of the rates pro- mulgated by the initial lines they ar bitrarily fix the rate and thereby de- priye Montgomery of the equal rights to which she was entitled with pensa- cola and Mobile.
 Tn italics to emphasize the import ance of the statement, the complaint declares S56 articles can be shipped from East St. Louis to Mobile and Pen- sacola, and then be reshipped back to Montgomery at a less rate than the published rates from East St. Louis to Montgomery. The complaints point out that merchants in Pensacola, under this condition, can purchase goods and re- ship to Montgomery cheaper than the local merchants can have them shipped from East St. Louis.
 The petition closes with -the request that the defendant lines be required to give relief by establishing from points in question to Montgomery a differen- tial higher than published rates from those points to Mobile and Pensacola, a differential that shall be fair and reasonable in the opinion of the Com mission, but which shall not be so great as to cause the rates from these points to be any higher than the rates from the same points to Birmingham.

MRS. BRYNER SPEAKS
TELLS HOW CHILDREN SHOULD
 BE TAUGHT.
First Scssion or sunday School Insti- tute In First Presbytcrian Church Largely Attendcd--Pro-
 gram For Today.

Mrs. Mary Bryner, international Sun day School worker, made a splendid talk last night at the First Presby- terian Church at the first meeting of the Sunday Sch hool Institute being held for three days at that church by the Montgomery Sunday School District, of which Arimsted Brown is president. Rev. H. H. Edmopds pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. presided over the meeting and introduced Mrs. Bryner and also D. w. Simms, field secretary of the Sunday School work, for the State.
 MT. Simms was the first speaker on the program and chose as his topic The Big Boy Problem For two years before coming to Alabama and taking up general Sunday School work, Mir. Simms was in cnarge of a Sunday School in Richmond, Va. He entered the school when it had membership of 300 pupils. At the end of his two years work there were 2,070 names upon the register of the scnooI.
 From this valuable experience he drew largely on how to get the big boy into the Sunday School. and how to keep him after once enrolled.
 Mir. Simms was followed by Mrs. Bryner. Mrs. Bryner took as her topic The Child We Teach.' and her talk was closely followed. Mrs. Bryner is modest, charming woman who chooses her words carefully and enunciates them perfectly.
 Her topic was really psychological study of the child mind. She divided children into three classe: those from one to seven years of age; those from seven to fourteen years of age, and those from fourteen to twenty-one years of age.
 K She dwelt at some length on the char acteristics of Ahe several ages of her classification, telling her audience of the things which, in her Judgment. ought to be taught to eaol class. some things while suited to the developments of one mind is by no means suitable to another. The same things could not be taught to every one no matter the age. As the child grows older there are new motives and ambitions. There- fore there must be different presenta- tion of the subject"
 Mus. Bryner gave some very whole some advice to mothers in the way in which their children, should oe taught, and also the way in which a teacher should present a subject for the child's consideration.
 Before engaging in general Sunday School work, Mrs. Bryner was a sun- day School teacher in the primary de- pertinent of a school in Chicago, and she told her audience of some of her experiences while in that capacity. - The institute will begin its session this morning at 9:30 o'clock, when the devotional services will be led by Armistead Brown, president of the Montgomery District.
 The program for the day follows:
 9:30--Devotional Service, Armistead Brown.
 10:0o-"Grading the Sunday School" Joseph Carthel.
 10:8O--General Discussion.
 11:00--"Plans for the Juniors" Mrs. Bryner. General Discussion.
