 Securing Delegates.
STATE CONVENTION TO BE BIG

Much enthusiasm was stirred up over the coming state Sunday School convention at meeting last night at the First Baptist Church of all super intendents. teachers and other church workers. called for the purpose of dis cussing more detailed plans in regard to the coming convention. which will be held here April 27. 2s and 29.
 D. w. Sims. general State secretary, first gave an account. according to the letters he had received the past week. of the number of delegates some of the other larger cites of the State were going to send to the convention. He stated that the Selma people had already chartered two coaches to bring their delegates, while Birmingham, Mo bile and opeiika were preparing to send large delegations. At Birming ham especially the superintendents and teachers of the various Sunday Schools wers working hard in the interests of the coming convention. and even last Sunday they held a meeting there for the purpose of sending as large a delegation as possible. Mir. Sims also received letter recently from Mrs. c. c. Thach. the wife of the president of Auburn college, stating that she fully expected to bring 200 of the young men of that institution here for the occasion.
 A motion was carried at the meet ing last night to have men from the various \ gunday Schools go to other schools this coming Sunday and give short talks on the plans of the vari- ous committees in regard to the con- vention and in this way bring the matter of the convention more fully before the different schools and awak- en a new interest among the teachers and other workers.
 According to statement made by one man last night nearly 2,000 peo- pie will be in Montgomery to attend this convention, and he estimated that these delegates would spend almost s15,000 during their stay in the city, a great thing for Montgomery conn mercially. much greater beneft than the business men and others realized.
 The meetings of the convention will be held in the city auditorium. and Dr. F. l.. Excel. of Chicago. has been secured to take cAarge of the musical features, while l.. W. Collins. who played the piano here during the Tor rey meetings, will preside at the plano
 Another meeting will be held at the First Baptist Church nexs Tuesday evening. atwhich time all superinten- dents, teachers officers of the various Sunday Schools. and other church workers are urged to be present.

New York, April 5.-(Special Corre- spondence of The Republican)-From the first figures of the kind ever au- thentically compiled. the fact has just been revealed that the number of per sons who patronize the city's street ear lines every day is practically equal to the whole population of New York. the number being more than 4.200,OOo carried every twentyfour hours. In the course of a year figured on this basis the local transportation lines will carry 1423,S47.S40 persons or something like eighteen times the to- tai population of the entire United States. During the last three months of 1908, the time covered by the re- port of the public service commission. Father Knickerbocker's bill for street car fare amounted to the small sum of S17,79S,09S or $5,932, ,699 every month. Figured on this basis the to- tai for the current year with no in- crease over that of the last quarter of 1908 will be s71, 1892. Expressed in nickels this means that 11S,645, 653~ of them are taken in every month, an6 1.42S.S47,S40 every year-enough if laid edge to edge to reach 12,000 miles or enarly half way around the earth. Piled one on top of the other they would make a column 2O00 miles in height, equal to twenty thousand Washington monuments placed one above the other. The different lines which share in this enormous total vary from the largest, with gross earnings of s6.7s6.S99 to the smallest with s190 As the operating cost in this case was $153. this line showed a deficit for the year of s151.1O-a freak statement in New York's million dollar transportation bill

Windber, Pa, April 10.-Seven min CTS were killed and several slightly wounded in a premature explosion of dynamite in Mine No. 67 of the Berwind White Coal company half mile from here last night just as the day shift was going off duty. The fact that the men were near the mouth accounted for the fact that the death list was not larger. Two hun dred sticks of dynamite lying about the blast were set off after the warning was given and it is thought the men were safely out of the way.

While there are not a few persons throughout the country-not counting the members of the Ananias club who for business or political reasons gave thanks when ex-President Roosevelt sailed for Africa, there is one man here who is genuinely re- lieved for personal reasons. That man is John H. Shorer, one of the most prominent business men in the city and a director in some forty four companies. His relief is not. however, due to such causes as may have animated MT. Hartman, but purely to his physical resemblance to the ex-president coupled with a personal acquaintance between the two men. For the past seven years Mir. Storer has played the unwilling part of MT. Roosevelt's double. Dur that time indeed he has had to de- vote much time to convincing vari- ous and numerous people that he was not the man whom he so closely re- sembles and whose personal friend he is. Now that everybody that the eX-president is no longer in this country, MT. Storer expects that de- mands on his time in explaining who he is not will be greatly decreased. Mir. Storer has been embarrassed fre- quently by hearing cheers raised for Teddy" on his appearance in pub lie places and by the attentions of enthusiastic hand-shakers. The like ness between the two men has been expensive to the financier, his time in dollars and cents being consid- erably more valuable than that of the chief executive. Curiously enough, MT. Roosevelt and MT. Storer were at Harvard together where they be- came close friends. Their sons like wise attended the same school at which Storer, jr., defeated Roosevelt, jr, for the championship of the school in boxing
