IN THE RAILROAD WORLD

A large number of officials, headed by D. D. Curran, president of the New Dr. leans and Northeastern, and E. l.. Rus sell, vice president of the Mobile and Ohio, passed through Birmingham yes- terday en route to Washington.
 While the visiting officials had very lit- tie to say concerning the trip, it is gem orally believed that there will be a meet ing of Southern officials in Washington with those of subsidiary and allied lines. It is thought that at this conference, cer- tain changes will be ordered one of which is the transfer to the Southern gen. eral manager of Horace Baker at present general manager of the A. G. s.
 This was the first visit to Birmingham of Colonel Russell since he was placed in charge of the entire Mississippi divis- ion of the Mobile and Ohio. Concerning the operation of full passenger schedule into Birmingham of the Mobile and Ohio, Colonel Russell was not prepared to make positive statement.
 It is currently reported from authentic sources that there will be soon two tran- masters of the Alabama Great Southern, one having jurisdiction from Birmingham to Chattanooga and the other from Bir- mingham to Meridian. Horace Vance, at present trainmaster, will have. it is understood, charge of the territory from Birmingham to Chattanooga, and M. E. Shortridge, at present a passenger con- ductor, but formerly trainmaster of the Meridian district will have charge of the territory from Birmingha into Meridian.

Table Suggestions.

Oftentimes one wishes a filling for a layer cake other than the conventional chocolate, jelly or plain icing. Here are three tried recipes, which are quite tasty |:
 Banana Filling-Mash six bananas and add the juice of a lemon and sufficient powdered sugar to make the mixture of consistency to spread easily. Do not make this filling till few hours before the cake is to be eaten
 Caramel Filling-Boil together for seven minutes cupful of brown sugar, a scant half-tablespoonful of butter and half cupful of milk. Then add vanilla to taste. and beat till creamy. Spread at once.
 Mocked Whipped Cream Filling-Peel and grate one large sour apple and mix 1t thoroughly with a cup of powdered sugar, and then beat in the white of an egg. Beat until it is the consistency of whipped cream and flavor with vanilla. One must be ex1editious in mixing the apple and the sugar. otherwise the mixture will turn dark. This is an excellent mixture,

THRONGS FOLLOW BODY.
Father John of cronstadt To Be Buried
 Today.

St. Petersburg, January 4.-The body of Father John of Cronstadt, who died two days ago, was transported through the streets of the capital this afternoon to the monastery of St. John, where it will be inferred tomorrow. The event was marked with scenes of religious devotion ap- preaching mania. Mourners from the common folk lined up along the route of march, while stolid throngs waited hours. ankle deep in slush, for the passing of the procession. Both men anod women then struggled with the police for chance to kiss the robes of the officiating priest.
 The people of Cronstadt, foreseeing the ultimate canonization of Father John, and a harvest almost from pilgrims at his murial shrine, protested against the interment at St. Petersburg, and raised an outcry about the cathedral before the removal of the body to the capital.

Seasonable Jottings.

Christmas, New Years. the school girls and the college boys have come and gone, and all is peace, and calm, and poin- siettias.
 The only things that are keeping up much of a chirp are the debutantes, and they pop up on all sides as fast as pop corn in a hot pepper.
 Speaking of debutantes, one girl asked another recently: Are you coming out this winter?'
 I'm coming out as far as I can," she returned wistfully, "are you?'' Not exactly, as I'm not going to have a formal debut party. but I'm going to sort of leak out-in installments?"
 The brilliant poinsettia has come to stay, and as the focal ornament in her hobby chapeau, many a nifty girl is wear ing a huge, solitaire. one nestling in fur and looking very fetching and effective.

Dress Shields.

"I have learned one lesson." said a clever woman the other day, and that is not to leave my dress shields in waists.

About Morning Dresses.

On morning dresses, which must be cloth, the sleeves are saved from ugliness by being cut from thin lace or net, of which the guimpe is made. That there is such guimpe or yoke is taken for grant ed, for no frock is made without a touch of some light or soft fabric about the face
 To continue this sheer goods over the arms is simply and very pretty and it the effect is diaphanous the sleeves are not so in fact. for with a tight lining of white China silk they are warm enough for ordinary wear, and yet do not lose their delicacy.

To the Little New Year.

You bring us happiness, delight. Renewed each soul and heart tonight Fair child of purity and grace, We liken to your soul and face
 A lily bright. The old year dies, now roseate grows The dawn OCT mountains capped witt
 Snows. Your breath so faint, of fragrance rare, Your smiling lips, we would compare
 To blushing rose. Athwart the east ruddy bar, Your father, Time, awaits your car; When you alight what glad surprise, What happiness shines in your eyes,
 Bright morning star! Oh, sweet and happy little one, To every weary mortal run! Lily and star and rose are you, And faith and hope you will renew,
 Meath New Years sun,s

AbOrenl Freaks.

Among the curiosities of tree life is
the sofar, or whistling tree, of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree it
gives out flute-like sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies. 1t is the
spirit of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say, but the
scientific white man says that the
sounds are due to a myriad Of small
holes which an insect bores in the
spines of the branches.
The weeping tree of the Canary Isl
ands Is another arboreal freak. This
tree in the dryest weather will rain
down showers from it's leaves and the
natives gather up the water from the
pool formed at the foot of the trunk,
and find 1t pure and fresh The tree
exudes the water from innumerable
pores situated at the base OF the
leaves
