LONDON PRDELESS.
Because Large Part of Population
Made up Of People Who Are
There by Chance.

Bindfold Londoner of the centre,
put him down in the Caledonia1 road
or on Brook Green or at Herne Hill,
then take off the bandage and ask
him where ne is. The chances are
ten to one he will have no notion at
all. says the London World. They are
not Inhabited by Londeners in the
true s,nSe, but the people whom acci-
dent or recessity has brought within
tle metropolitan area and who would
be just as happy 200 miles awawy.
Their atmosphere is not metropolitan.
TEeT are ru;>rf the c" tire. !ney az
on the fringe.
That is why London has so little
local pride. It is not a community.
It is a congeries of suburbs, each with
its separate narrow interests, grouped
around a little city whose citizens
nave SO wide horizon that they can
spare next to no attention for local
affairs. How can civic patriotism be
expected from a man who spends all
his week-ends at house in the coun-
try, the spring on the Rivera, the
autumn in Scotland of the Mediterra-
mean? London is to him only al Incl
dent with boundaries probably small
er even than those which I have sug-
gested.
The real Londoners are those who
would not consider life worth living
anywhere else. The real London is
the small place wherein are to be
found the interests which will their
lives. Hundreds Of thousands Of sub
urbans have never seen a picture IL
London, never been in the opera or
the play, could not tell st. Paul's
from the Abbey or distinguish be-
tween st. James and Governor
Square. Per contra, few real London
ers know anything about the regions
on the fringe.
The immensity Of London is the
constant subject of bewildered COM
ment. It is the littleness Of London
which astonishes me.

BANK EXAMINER

The State.
Anderson. Nov. 12.-Mr. Lee G..
Holleman will in all probability hand

iner to Gov Ansel, effective January
l. It has been rumored on the streets
here fer a day or so that he will be-
ccne connected With the Peoples
bank Of Anderson about the first Of
the year and that the capital stock
Of the hank will be increased from
100000 to $250,0O0. The bank now
has a surplus of about 100000 and
with its increasing business it
needs larger capital stock and also
additional help in managing its af-
fairs. When asked about the matter
today Mr.. Holleman said there had
been some negotiations looking to his
becoming connected with the bank and
that while the matter has not been
definitely settled, he thought it quite
likely that the deal would 90 through.

I'22a5a II Revenues IS Larger than
Expected-lIore Money IS Com
ing In.
The State. 18th.

Inc State, 18th.
"While the deficiency in the fin
ances of the state government are not
90 large as estimated early in the
year." said state official,
"there is need either for retrench-
ment in the appropriations or al
increase in levy unless the general as
sembly estimates more exactly each
year how much will be raised. This
year the deficit would have been
about $180,000, but for increased re-
venues from several sources and for
uaexpended appropriations
The total appropriation for 1907 by
the general assembly amounted to ST.
46O,216.93 and so far the state has
borrowed $350.OOO to meet current
expenses. At the time Of the appro-
p1iation, however, the revenues were
estimated at least $4,000 below what
they actually will be and the predic-
ton of Comptroller General Jones
would have been verified but for this
increase in income. In his report in
calling attention to this deficiency
each year Mr.. Jones said in part:
"Tne estimated expenses of the
state government for 1907 are ST.
N1,784. It appears that if the ap-
preparations do not exceed the esti-
mated expenditures for 1907, it will
require of the taxes Of 1907 $425.000,
and as no part Of these taxes will be
available before November l, it is ap-
parent that the state must borrow
S175,000 to pay expenses before the
taxes Of 1907 are available. The
states revenue for 1907 for taxes
estimated and based upon the present
assessments Of S249,500,000, at a rate
of 4 l-2 mills on the dollar, would
realize 81 .122,750. To this add from
indirect and other sources $151 400.
This would give total estimated re-
venue of s127.150. If the estimat-
ed expenditures, $1,271,784, are not
exceeded, then a state levy Of 4 1-2
mills will pay all appropriations -
It so happened, however, that the
appropriations exceeded his estimates
by about $1SO,O00 and for that rea-
son it was thought that the state
would be just that much behind.
The revenues from the franchise or
corporation tax amount to $78,353,
against al estimate Of $4,000, due
principally to collection Of the fines
and penalties. The state taxes from
the railroads will show an increase Of
$50,000, due to the raise Of $11 $780,
600 in values, while the state taxes on
real estate will amount to as much
on account Of a proportio1ate in
crease. The insurance fees will bring
in about $4,000 against :stimate
of $4,000 and the fees from the of
fee Of the secretary of state will
amount to about $4,000 against an
estimate of about $4,000. All Of
these increases will bring the revenue
up about $l2O,OOO and therefore the
deficiency will not be over $65,000.
This will be still further reduced
by the turning back into the state
treasury Of some funds left over
from the high school appropriation
as we'll as some other unexpended |
funds.
At the next session Of the general
assembly, however, it is almost GER
tain that a more systematic effort |
will be made for estimating the rev
enues Of the state, as we'll as provid-
ing q more uniform tax law.

Horses Were Reflected.

New York, Sept.-A drizzling rain, which began falling early Monday morning and continued without ces- sation during the forenoon, did not en- tiTely mar New York's celebration of Labor Day. Two great parades of organized workers had been planned, one by the Central Federated Union and the other by the Consolidated Board of Business Agents. Despite the soaking rain, fully 25,000 people marched through the streets. In pc sition at the head of the Federated Union parade was a delegation of striking telegraphers, bearing a ban her conveying advice to mail your telegrams." All other organizations carried banners bearing emblemS of their union. A committee of the horseshoers caused considerable de lay in the starting of the Federated Unions parade by examining the feet of all the horses in line to determine whether or not they wore union-made shoes All horses whose shoes did not bear the union mark were ordered out of the line, and number of the mar shals and adjutants and those who had intended riding in carriages were forced to walk.

PARADE ENDS IN RIOT
Street Cars Stopped by Labor Day Parade and Riot FoIIows-Two
 Shot.

San Francisco, Sept.--The labor union parade Monday resulted in the of two men by employees of tile United Railroads. Car men were attacked by paraders, and, in self-de- fense, opened fire. The trouble start ed at the ferry, where, it is stated, Sutter street car broke the line of the paraderS. A mob of men followed the car, and at the junction of Sutter street members attacked the car. The motorman, seeing his life in danger, opened fire and wounded one of his assailants in the leg. A block further up an inspector was attacked by the mob. He was suddenly struck in the face and ran from his assailants. They followed him to the corner of Sutter and Montgomery streets, wher they overlook him. He drew pistol and aimed it at a union man. who car fied bricks in his hands. The inspec- tor opened fire and shot the man through the groin. Six shots were fired. A riot call was sent in to the police and the fire departments. and force of police and firemen were soon on the scene.
 The men who did the shooting were arrested, but several rioters who were seized by the police were released. The labor union men who were in the parade evidently thought they had the right of way over the streets, for when the cars of the United Rail- ways attempted to break through the procession there was trouble.

Fear Moors Will Rebel.

Paris, Sept-The foreign office has no reliable information regarding the whereabouts or purpose of Mulai Ha. Fig, and thinks it possible he may still be at Morocco City, where he was pro claimed sultan. The foreign office IS also in the dark as to whether Sultan Abdel Axis remains at Fez or IS marching on Rabat. General Drude is expected to immediately assume a vigorous offensive. General Brugere, formerly commander-in-chief of the French army, in an interview on the Moroccan question, expressed the opinion that the situation is very full of formidable difficulties and may re- quire 10 years effort and tho sacri- fee of the lives of thousands of men and the expenditure of millions or dollars before the pacification of the country is effected.

DESTRUCTION BY RODENTS.
Statement Issued by Agriculture De. partment Giving Some Startling
 Figures on Farmers Losses.

Washington, May 30.--The great destruction wrought by rodents Is pointed out in a statement which has just been issued by the department of agriculture on methods of destroy. ing rats" Ii declares that "an in falIible method of extermination ot these rodents would be worth more to the people of the United States in single decade than the department of agriculture has cost since It's es. tablishment.'
 It says the brown rat Is thc worst mammalian pest in existence, and adds:
 'lf for each COW. horse, sheep and hog on the farms of the United States the farmers support one rat on grain, the toll levied on the cereals by these rodents would reach the enormous total of $100,000000 a year.
 Their prolificness is the chief ob- stacle of their extermination. Three filters of ten each are produced every year. single pair, breeding with out check and without losses by death in three years would be repre- sented by ten generations and would number 20,I55,392 individuals. The 1lth generation, due at the beginning of the fourth year, would rumber more than 100,000,000."

ARE MOMENTS OF ANXIETY.
Those Following Winning of Derby
 and Reasons Why.

The anxiety of owners of race horses competing in the Derby do not immediately end as the horses pass the judges. The fatal objection" may snatch the laurels from the victor. The possibility discovered itself over Caractacus' race. The owner had striven in vain to get jockey of repute. His offer of life annuity of 9100 year to Gostley in case of sue cess had been declined A stable boy named Parsons had eventually to be trusted, and, to the surprise of the learned, he got the horse home, win ming by Beck. Going to scale, the lad could not draw the weight In breathless silence the bride was sent for and that just enabled him to bal ance the scale. But now Lord Stam- ford appeared to object that only his own horse and two others had gone the full course. The winner and the rest were already past the starting post when the flag fell Admiral Rous looked at his watch.

obligations in the interest of the gen. sral public. I no less emphaticaliy believe that in thus regulating and controlling the affairs of the railways it is necessary to recognize the need of an immense outlay of money rom private sources, and the certainty that this will not be met without the assurance of sufficient reward to in- duce the necessary investment. It is plainly inadvisable for the govern ment to undertake to direct the phy- sical operation of the railways, save in wholly exceptional cases; and the supervision and control 1t exercises should be both entirely adequate to secure it's ends, and yet no more har- assing than is necessary to secure these ends. Let the local attorneys of the big roads keep out of politics; and when they have to appear before the national or state legislature let their names be put on special regis ter, and let their business be above board and open.

UNITED PREsBYTERIANs.
Judge Lindsey Told Them the Great est Producer of Crime Was Organ
 ized Liquor Traffic.

Denver, May 31.-The temperance question was the all absorbing tonic Wednesday before the general assen- bly of the United Presbyterian church. The question of endorsing the anti saloon league grew out of the recon mendations of the committee on tenn perance, and heated discussion fol- lowed. The friends of the anti-saloon league were successful in having ac- tion on interchurch temperance coun- cil held over for another year, so that the support of the United Pres byterian church might not be divided and the resolution endorsing the anti saloon league of America were passed overwhelmingly
 Dr. R. A. Hutchinson of Pennsyl- vania, made a telling speech for the anti-saloon league and it's work. He stated that had it not been for the fol ly of the church temperance commit tees in refusing to join the militant forces of the anti-saloon league, Penn savanna would not today De without a local option law.
 Judge B. B. Lindsey of Denver made an effective speech in which he set forth clearly that the greatest produc- CT of crime was the organized liquor traffic of this country. His work in the way of reform through the juven- ile court was heartily endorsed
 The remainder of the day was taken up with the reports of various com mittees.

STORY OF FAMOUS HYMN.
"All Glory, Laud and Honour" Writ
 ten in a Prison.

A popular hymn is Theodulph's "All glory, laud and honour" belonging to the ninth century, and said to have been written by the poet while in An. gers prison The author of Hymns and Their Makers" quotes legend in relation to its use on Palm Sunday, s2i, to the effect that when Louis the Pious, king of France, was at fingers. he took part in the usual procession of laity and clergy, and as the process sion passed the place where St Theo- dulph. the bishop of Orleans. had long been incarcerated he was seen stand ing at the open window of his cell, and there, amid the silence of the peo- pie, he sang his hymn, to the delight of the king, who at once ordered him to be set al liberty and restored to his see. In some minor details this legend is referred to by other writers as well. The original is too long to be sung in modern services, as 1t has no fewer than IS lines The verses usually found in our hymnals are but frag- ment of the original hymn, which, with more or less abbreyiation. has been used as processional for many cen turies -The Culver

Smoked in Church.

Although the present universal habit of smoking is of comparatively recent date. the use of tobacco was carried to a great excess when it was first introduced. Our ancestors smoked even in church. All such of tenders were solemnly excommuni. cated by Urban VIII. in 1924. and again by Innocence XII. In 1890, when the practice seems to have ex- tended to Rome itself There was William Freedom, too, vicar of Thorn ton, "a profound divine. and absolute ly the most polite person for nativi- ties in that age" of whom the astrolo- ger Lilly says that when he had no tobacco he would cut the bell ropes and smoke them"
