UNUSUAL SUCCESS OF
 BETHANY SUNDAY SCHOOL

%
 The Bethany Sunday. School, estap- lished less than month ago at sos Goode street. has proven a marked success from every point of view. It was intended to be but a small neighborhood school for the accommo- dation of people living in that sec ton of the city, many of whom are to far away from the downtown ehnrches to get their children to the morning Sunday schools. but 1t is growing far beyond tbe plans Of those who first figured 1t out.
 There have been but three sessions of the school held and there has been an average attendance of over fifty active and enthusiastic pupils. The school has a splendid corps of officers and teachers who are competent, faith full, and enthusiastic. With the excep- ton of Superintendent Lee Langley, who represents the Christian En- deavor Society of the First Presby-. terian Church. which society took the initiative in the organization of the new school, these officers live within the Bethany School limits and have strong personal followings, and a tremendous personal interest in The success of the undertaking.
 A number of business houses and individuals have asked to be allowed to donate pictures, books. and other things to the school and yesterday afternoon a committee of young men and women spent several hours in decorating and improving the pretty five room cottage in which the school meets.a eH
 The standard of intelligence in both classes and teachers in the school is unusually high and the work done is not merely perfunctory Sunday school going, but the most satisfactory and beneficial studying of the teachings of the Savior and the scriptures associat- ed or connected herewith.
 The prospects are that before the school is three months old 1t will have in regular attendance fully one hun dred of the most interested Bible stu dents in Montgomery.

 A"ent Marks an Era of Rapid Fro-
 gress in Bolivia.
 La FaS, Bolivia, Aug. 1.-The new railroad between oruro. Bolivia and Vlacha, fifteen miles south of La Paz. was completed ttoday and the evenf marks an era of a rapid progress in 5oiivia- The ceremonies were held un- er tne auspices of. Colonel Montes, President of the Republic.
 They were very simple. and wera practically limited to the officia1 act or driving the last spike byathe Pres- ident Owing to the recent death of President-elect Hern Heano Guachallo. the elaborate ceremonies planned to mark the completion of the road had to be forgone. 5
 The new road iss125 miles long and connects the Northern and Southern parts of the Republic with each other and with La Pax.
 With the construction of this line there are two ways out from Oruro to the Pacific. Going south there Is con nection with the Peruvian Southern line direct to Antofogasta. The new line has been constructed in A thor oughly first class manner. The equIp- ment Is modern and unquestionabiv the best fin South America. The peo- pie of Bolivia are unanimously enthu siastic over the enterprise for the sue cess of which much credit is due to J. c. Metcalfe, President of the lo. livian Railway Company. Tie pro- gressive spirit now being shown by the Bolivar Government. and the immense undeveloped resources of the country giving opportunities for investment. coupled with the coming in of capital. will. 1t Is confidently believed. bring a great degree of prosperity to Bolivia in the course of few years.
 Various rumors have been given pub licty in Europe since the death on July 25 of President-elect Guaehalla to the effect that the political sltua- ton in Bolivia was critical. on ac- count of the sudden passing away of this statesman. but they are quite without foundation. The strength and of the Montes Government are more than sufficient to render trouble impossible. Congress will be convened August 6.

b REPORT TODAY
fURCH COMMITTEE LOOKING
 OVER SITUATION.
tvement For Purchase of Property en Ferry Street By First Pres byterian Church fs Attract
 ing Much Attemtfon.

During the past week no further de-
 klopments were recorded in the sale
 the Presbyterian Manse on South
 lerry street or in the purchase of the
 teale property on Perry street to be
 lsed in the future as site for the New First Presbyterian Church to be erected. The committee named at the Congregational meeting of last Sun. day. though doubtless very busy. will have no report to make to the con- kregation today on their progress. r
 The report of the committees as hcted upon last Sunday morning at ! congregational meeting have been kery much discussed by members of he church during the whole of the last week, much interest attaching to he future of the church as planned
 This plan of selling the manse of
 he church and using the money so Iecured has been under discussion
 Imong the church members for some lime past. but 1t was not until last bunday morning that formal action and kpproval was given to the plan by the Congregation in formal session. At this congregational meeting 1t was de. lcided that the present manse be sold and that if a suitable price be ob- tained the handsome Besle property further up the street be purchased for a future church edifice, mange and sunday School room.
 The .Beale property decided upon is peculiarly suited to the needs of a modern church building. Fronting 125 feet upon South Perry street the prop erty runs back along Grove street over 200 feet, the grade being of such nature as to give a Sunday School room under the church proper that win be entirely free of any darnpness what ever. Tn the rear of the church build ing 1t is proposed to erect the new. n1anse of the church. The rear of the the frontage of the property on South Perry street, assuring the architects of smpIe room to erect a hhndsor1e fes-l idence for the pastor of the church.
 That the First Presbyterian Church will immediately begin the construc- tion of the new church edifice is not at present discussed. The old church, which has been recently renovated, is expected to house the congregation for some years to come, until the congre-l gation feels itself in position to erect 6 new building without burdening the church with an exeeeding1y heavy debt rf
 At the services today the pastor, Rev. H. M. Edmonds, will take as his morning topic, ''Noblesse-oblige," while the topic for the night service win be "As Pants the Heart" The Sunday School will meet at the usual bour under the superintendent. Virgil Grff- fin. The Christian Endeavor will meet. at I o'clock. 'Sss }. ''i .s
 Strangers are especially invited to be present at these services and will be cordially welcomed by pastor and of fcers.

 Complained to Federal Officers

! Appearing before Judge John A. El- more. United States Commissioner, an Italian, L. l.. Farraro. yesterday told one of the most pitlful tales of neg feet and cruelty that has been told in Montgomery in many days. He pathet- ically showed the marks on his body made by switches and asked that some action be taken that he might get pos-s session of his child.
 His story .is that his wife Is at. Sea. right, Ala. together with his child. He stated that while he was out looking for work his wife and child left home for seAright and that upon his dis eovery. of her whereabouts and demand that she follow him to the place where he had secured work, the refusal of the wife was foliaewd by a. severe beating by the man for whom the wife was working.

 Farraro has filed petition of divorce from his wife in the City Court of Montgomery, but as yet the officers have failed to get service for the writ.
