TO PUBLISH RATES
RIVER TARIFFS PREPARED BY
 CoMaHssioN's MEMBERS.
Apply fo AIabana sna Tembiebee Riy- ers---wood- Dfckerson Lumber Company Case Set for
 April 93.

Secretary S. P. Kennedy of the Ais bama Railroad Commission. announced yesterday that the steamboat freight tariffs. much discussed of late. will he promulgated in full today. The tar ifs are to apply to steamboat traffic m the Alabama and Tombigbeo rivers. The tarlffs are Commission made and arn supposed to represent a compro- misc between the interests of the ship pers and the owners of steamboats on the rivers mentioned
 It is understood that the rates cf the Commission made tarihs are in some rartlculars lower than those asked for by the navigation officials who filed their own tarifrs for approval several weeks ago. The clerical force Of the Commission was busy yesterday pre- paring the tariffs as finally agreed up- m by the Comm ssion. Announcenen was made that the rates will be for maily promulgated today some time.
 While nothing has been given out of definite nature in connection with the rates. it Is gathered from aathori- tative sources that certain concessions will be made to the shippers of Selma, Demopolis and other larger points in that special rates may be allowed to and frtai those centers.
 The Commission has set aside April es for hearing arguments of both sides on the petition Of the Wood Dickerson Lumber Company af Birmingham for the Birmingham Southern Railroad Company to absorb the switching charges bf which have on shipments recently made been placed upon the petitioner.
 The cases In question arc those where cars of lumber are destined to the yards of dealer. from a trunk Inc over The switches of another road. The petition is to relieve the patrons of the roads of the charges collected for this service.

they could be inteliigentiy voted on in due proportion to their, importance.
 For Instance. no one who was watch ful of the proceedings in the joint ses- sion when the report of the Qualification Committee was adopted into final law, can claim that due consideration was given the scores of sections to be enacted into law. The report was so voiuminous an affair that the readins was omitted by a special resolution. Thus there have crept into the new Code many things which seemed not to have been noticed at the time of its adoption and there were omissions which did not even get to the point or a discussion.
 So 1t is predicted that new surprises will be turned up as the days go by. The State Department officials are put ting all their spare time isto reading the sections of the Code pertaining to their work for fear that they may be violating the law They do not care to take any chances and seem preparea for any new duties that may be i'm posed on them

Miss Knight and Miss smith Delight
 ThAtr Audience

Thefr Audience.
 Marion. April s.--tspeciaIl The re ; evening marked the gradua ton of Miss Mattie Knight in voice and Miss May Smith in pianoforte.
 The popularity of these young wo- men was attested not only by the un- usually large audience and noticeable number of out of town guests. but by the number and beauty of the floral of ferings and other remembrances.
 Miss Knight won her audience from her first graceful entrance to her final exit. Her voice. true and clear. re- tained it's sweetness in every note In each number her articulation and phrasing were most artistic. Her in depreciation of the Aria. Come Unto Me" was full and true. both In tech niqne and genuine feeling. In both groups. of modern songs she entered fully into the varying moods of tho eompo osers Not only her voice but her facial expression and manner showed her versatility by landing themselves to every changing phase of the com position. a
 The coloratura style of singing. which is Miss Knights special type, found it's richest expression in her last song, T Am T".ne Forever"
 By her sweet simplicity. Miss Smith at once established her unity with the audience and gained the silent appre- clation which Is one of the truest trb- utes to a pianist's ability. The true Beethoven spirit of the Adagio was re- vealed through the medium of her re- pose and sympathetic touch.
 In the descriptive things which she played, the ''Serensde" and Dancing I'oll' were exquisitely dainty and ar tistlc.

oIDAcT CHANGED NNEW BOOK

Another surprise stored away in the rev Alabama Code came to light yes terday in the ofice of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries when it appeared that the pruning knife has been applied to the salary of the State Chemist, and Commissioner Wilkinson is searching the political code for some provision under which he can, after May 1, issue a certificate to the State Oh enlist, Professor B. B. Ross of Au- burn, for the payment of his salary.
 Whether the salary &o of the State Chemist has been chopped off by wil- ful omission or not. cannot be definitely said. The members of the Codincation Committee of the last Legislature were sworn to secrecy. 1t Is understood. and explanations would be out of order. The fact remains apparent. however, that in the future the State Chemist will have to perform his duties without compensation whatever. The only vouchers to be approved in his behalf will be for necessary travelling ex. penses while on duty assigned to him by the Commissioner"
 If it is judged from the verbiage of Section 47 of the new code of Alabama. the knife seems to have been applied to the salary of the State Chemist pur- posely. Tn this section, part of the same language IS employed which ap- pears in the section of the Acts of 9s- ss, under which this officer was ai- lowed an annual salary of not more thse section seUV' 1T of&h. new Code. which goes Into effect oh May 1. by the proc lamation of the Governor, reads as fol- lows:
 The trustees of the Alabama Poly technic Institute shall cause, without charge therefor, an analysis to be made of all fertilizers submitted by the Com missioner of Agriculture and Industries for analysis. The chemist is entitled to his necessary trayeiins expenses while on duty assigned to him by the Commissioner, payable from the funds

Welfare

Here is a word that means something now that it never meant before. It describes a department in business whose value is not reckoned in Arabic numerals. The Welfare De- partments of big corporations attempt to make life Pleasanter for the employees in ways which are not nominated in the bond. Sometimes these experiments succeed; some times they are ghastly failures, disgusting the men and sour ing the employer. 1t all depends.

 In the same issue of THE POST read " "How They Make Ends Meet in New York" by Will Payne, and an article by Arthur Train, "Con Men Abroad" in which he recounts the interesting experience of an American who was too strong to work, amid the un- sympathy of the Old World.
