Inman Makes Handsome Contribution.

Atlanta, January 4.-(Special. )-Hugh T.
Imam of Atlanta today gave 100000 to
the Southern Presbyterians for the bene-
fit of superannuated ministers, the amount
to be paid in installments of .2a,0OG each.
and all of which will be paid during The
coming year. Last year the Southern
Presbyterians had only $4,000 as a super
animated fund and Mr.. Inman said this
was not enough. He told them that II
they would raise an additional 3i25000,
making a total of $4,000. he would add
100000 to it, making a quarter of a mil
lion His only condition was that half of
the amount should be raised by Jan
uary l. 1907. The Presbyterians raised
more than half of It, securing $4,000 from
various sources and leaving only $4,000
yet to be raised. Mr.. Jnman has, there
fore, decided to come forward with his
part of the fund.

May Sustain Mayors Veto.

Atlanta, January 4.-(Special.)-It is
said even now with sixteen members.
two-thirds of the city council, pledged to
vote to override the mayors veto, the
veto may be sustained as a result of the
fact that there are four members of the
council out of the city, all OF whom are
among those who declared they would
vote against the veto. One OF these IL Is
known, will not return In time for the
meeting. 1t is probable that three others
will be back. 1t requires sixteen votes
to override a veto, and there is still a
danger. The question at issue Is the high

Yankee Tourists in Paris.

Paris, April 1.-THE annual sum.
mer invasion of Paris by Yankee tour
lists has commenced, and the Ameri
cans are already much in evidence on
the ~boulevards and in the amusement
places. The influx of seeing Paris
visitors is expected to continue until
July, as in past years, reaching its
height in June. Proprietors of hotels
and amusement esorts are expecting
a record-smashing crowd of tourists
and in conformity with the belief that
all Americans are at least million
aires, have boosted the prices to ex-
orbitant figures. Every year this price
raising process has continued and
conditions will soon be such that a
Yankee of only ordinary means will
be forced to cut Paris from his itin-
erary unless he is able to cleverly
disguise his nationality. All Parisians
look upon Americans as come ons"
and easy marks" and regulate prices
for service accordingly.

NEW FAST FREIGHT ENGINES
ARRIVE FOR CUTOFF

Albuquerque Journal.
Two of the new 1900 class fast
freight locomotives for service on
city, and one of the ponderous ma
chimes has bee sent down to Belen
to make its initial trip over the Santa
FEES new line. The 1851 has gone
south and the 1850 will be sent down
probably today. These engines are of
the new type which it is believed by
the motive power department will
prove best adapted to use on the cut
off. They are identical in size with
the 1900 class decapods, the largest
of the ten small drivers ave six big
wheels considerably larger in size.
Lacking the immense wheel base of
the decapods-ten drivers, trailers
and pony trucks, the new engines
cannot pull as enormous a weight up
steep grades, but the increased size
of the drivers makes it possible to
develop great speed on the level or
on Easy grades. They will also be
used for heavy passenger trains and
it is estimated that they will be able
to haul 15-car Pullman trains over
the cutoff at the speed maintained
now on the main line by the 1900
class passenger machines. The new
engines are massive and graceful To-
comotives and excited considerable
admirilg attention among the rail-
road men. They are equipped with
the new Walderscnaert valve gear
which is more or less Of an expert
ment with the Santa Fe, but which
is considered one of the most valu-
able devices recently invented.
