 He was driving through the streets of Teheran. Ahead of him was his au- tomobile, which, for some reason or other, he was not occupying, perhaps being for the moment tired of his new plaything. Suddenly from across the street some ungrateful fellow hurled bomb at the automobile. The machine was torn into kindling wood. but even the chauffeur was not injured. Nobody could tell just who slung the deadly missile, so in the hope of hitting the right man the Shah ordered his body guard to fire. The result was that two of his personal attendants, his royal executioner and two innocent citizens were killed while policeman, a grocer, an officer of gendarmes and two private soldiers were badly in- jured.
 The Shah was pretty mad. He turn cd on his heel and walked home, refus- ing to ride in spite of the entreaties of his frightened escort. The next day his majesty came down town and with a stick he beat the governor of the town soundly. Then he called the chief of police before him and told him If be bomb hurling he would have him blown from the mouth of cannon. Since then corner loafers with bundles under their arms have been invited to move on without any hesitation.

THE CHURCH AND LABOR.
By Bishop IT. c. Potter.

It Is not the giving of money or the creation of charitable institutions that builds up the feeling of brother hood among men. The poor man re- sents our condescenslon. He does not want that or your gold; he wants recognition of his manhood. The shop girl wants you to honor her woman hood; to respect her in the. task in which she Is toiling and suffering. You can do much to make that task easier and create an atmosphere In which she and you can move alike as members of the same divine society

Albany. N. Y., Sept. 11--Cne of the largest iron ore reserves in the pres ent fields of iron mining, is located Tn New York State, according to re- port submitted today to Andrew s' Draper, State Commissioner Of Eau cation. by pr. John M. Clarke, the State Geologlst,
 pr.

Dr. Clarke's report Is chiefly based upon a series of diamond drill ings across an extensive belt or terri tory lying along trunk railroad lines which have been carried pursuant to a special appropriation made TOT that purpose by the Legislature or 1907.
 The deposits with which the report is concerned are penalties of good to excellent iron percentages and are de- posted in beds in the Clinton form- ation, says the report. The formatioh' with its characteristic ore beds, occurs as well as In Ohio, Kentucky, indiana and Wisconsin. and in many or the Southern States. attaining specisi prominence in Tennessee and Alabama, where the deposits are the main sup port of the Iron manufact~r.ng inous- try in that section. .,

WILL WAIT AWHILE
SECRETARY OF STATE JULIAN ON
 MANDAMUS SUIT.
Returns from Michigan and Tuscumbia to His Onicers--Mstters Pend ing Before Him at
 This Time.

On his return yesterday from De- troit. Mich, and Tusccmbia, Secretary of State Frank N. Julian said that he would wait a while before deciding what he will do with reference to the squabble between the two wings of the Republican party.
 MT. Julian would not discuss the mandamus proceedings which were brought against him seeking to com pei him to certify out the nominees of the Davidson wing as the official candidates of the Republican party. He intimated that he was always in but little doubt as to the outcome Of the hearing He intimated also that the proper proceedings would have been to get satisfaction out of the Probate Judges.
 That seems to be the prevailing opinIon about contests such as is going on between the Thompson and the Davidson factions of the party. If the mandamus had been brought against a Probate Judge and the out come had been favorable to either one wing, 1t would have likely been followed as a precedent in the other counties unless, of course, subsequent proceedings in given county resulted adversely to the winner of the hrst case.
 MT. Julian will also consult with the Attorney-General in a few days relative to the pending injunction against him as Insurance Commission CT, secured by the Guarantee Life In- surance Company of Houston, Texp preventing him from interfering with the. business of that corporation.
 The insurance case Is in the court of Judge A. D. Sayre of the Montgomery City Court. It resulted from an order of Commissioner Julia ncancelling the license of the company. Tn effect of the injunction Is to restore the license. The cancellation of the license was caused by the sale of what are known as special" or advisory board" contracts in connection with life insurance policies.
 The chances are that this hearing will come up towards the close of Sep tember.
 MT. Julian said the meeting of the Insurance Commissioners at Detroit was a pronounced success. He deliv- cred a paper on Department Prac- ttce" before that body

MAYOR TEAGUE CALLS FOR

Mayor Teague has notified the heads of the several departments of the citys official family to get to work on their several annual reports for these must be included in his message to the city council October 14. As a result several departments are rather busy just now preparing to tell what they have been doing.
 The report will cover from Septem- Der 30. 1907 to October 1. 1908 and in- cludes several heavy expenditures The fact that the big drain now be- ing installed on North Court Street will not be finished in time to include 1t with the rest of the report will take considerable amount off, but the ex- tensive paving done in many parts of the city and the large improvements on the sanitary department will make the report of the financial expenditure something as large if not larger than that of last year.
 Montgomery has done more sys- tematic and beneficial improving in the past two years. especially ih the last year. than has been done in the city since 1t was founded. The result of the extensive paving has been too boost the real estate values and there fore the taxes will be given a boost also. In each department of the city extensive improvements have been made and the sum total of the work will figure extensively in the report.

 DAVID MADE KING OVER
 ISRAEL AND JUDAH.
 The evolution of David's kingly character Is matter of absorbing inter- est The process began when the Lord took him from his fathers sheeprold. As Saul's armor-bearer he had his first taste of military life, and as his harpist he had hts first insight of life at court. His duel with the Gathite acquainted him with his own phenom- enaI prowess. Samuel's anointing was premonition of his high calling. His exile life was an important part of his training. So was his kingship of Judah.
 As piece of porcelain oft pressed by the burin of diversity oft fired in the furnace of affliction David grew into a vessel of honor at once beauti- ful and meet. His natural abilities were trained by exercise. Powers that might under ordinary conditions. have lam dormant were awakened. He learned by what he suffered, and was perfected bv 1t.
 He continued humble to the last. remembering whence he came and who had brought him thence. Patience penitence. faith. are among his noble qualities. His courage. patriotism. satesmanship, challenge our admira- ton. Mistakesi sins,--admitted. Yet remember the crude age in which he lived, the customs then in vogue, the maxims then regnant Remember, too, his unreserved confessions, the bitterness of his compunctions the thoroughness of his reparation. When you weigh his diplomacy. his general snip. his kingcraft, remember he lived three centuries before ever Rome was founded.
 The self-possession and confidence in destiny which enabled David to stand In his lot at Hebron for sever years. without attempting to coup de main or short cut to the throne, is phenomenal. but characteristic By and by the mountain came to Moham- med. The stress of adverse circum- stances drove the nation to the feet of the one commanding figure, the des- tined deliverer aud unifier.
 He meets the requisitionl os the Mag na Charta of Hebrew liberties. He Is of the same race. bone and flesh. He Is no novice. He has already led Is- rael out and in, and is thoroughly qualified to shepherd the people. solemn league and covenant is ratified with all the sanctities of the Mosaic ritual in presence of the high priest, and possibly before the ark of the covenant. Perchanee under those wings and feathers of the cherubim which insure safety. and make trust reasonable. the king receives his third holy anointing.
 The king immediately undertakes a military enterprise. which shall at once duly celebrate his coronation, un- fly the tribes. and give an admirable site for national capital. Like Que bee In Canada, Iebus towers in Ca- naan. Though four hundred years have passed since the land was first occupied by the Hebrews. the Canaan ites still hold this natural citadel So confident are they of it's impregnabil- ity that they affirm q garrison of blind and halt could hold 1t against all comers
