lightweight could wish after a long outdoor
vacation spent in fishing and hunting ex-

say in case Mr.. Hartman should offer any
serious objection for having been referred

day slightly favored Mr. Fish
1t Is Mr.. Harahans intention to make at
today's meeting a frank reply to the pre-
amble and resolutions calling for certain
information. the reading of which at a time
when majority of the board had voted
to adjourn led to personal collision be-
tween Mr.. Fish and Mr.. Harahan, in the
course Of which the president of the Illinois
Central Is said to have been shaken vio-
lently after he had said to Mr.. Fish Who
ever says that / am the tool OF any man

had enjoyed the most prosperous year In its
history after 1t had emerged from the fos-

the circumstances OF the case, an exceed
lnsiy satisfactory transaction. Comment
upon the matter today was. however. more
taken up with certain well known grotesGue
aspects of the bidding than with the vol
ume of the tenders or with the mean level
at which the securities will be marketed
Such freakish bids the sufficiently iden-
titled case in question ought to be impos-
sibe in such serious transaction as the
offering of the city loan. but under the
terms of the controllers circular it is not
easy to how they can be avoided.
In the meantime there were again large
transactions in the curb market in the
new securities at figures considerably above
the average bids made directly to the city
authorities yesterday. There were also
quite fairly large purchases of the new is
sues In the curb market for foreign &C

The Macon Telegraph says that

The Macon Telegraph says that
the state prohibition bill cut out
wine for sacramental purposes.
There are very few churches now
DAYS that use wine for that pur
pose. The w. G. T. U. has waged
! relentless war against the prac
tice of using the wine that causes
"redness of eyes and contentious, "
to commemorate the death OF
Christ, and the result is that all
up to date churches use only the
unfermented grape juice which is
truly the "fruit of the vine''
which we are commanded to use
for that purpose, as well as for the
"stomach's sake" There are two
kinds of wine spoken of all thro
the Bible. The one that is com
mended is the sweet, pure juice of
the grape, which was kept sealed
up in leathern bottles and buried
in the ground-thus kept in it's
unfermented state. Pliny tells
also of the juice being boiled down
until it kept it's original sweetness.
We have no use for the other
wine anywhere and especially for
purposes.
