Warshlps Take a Rest.

Fort Monroe, Va, September 12.- With heavy sea kicked up by stiff easterly blow dashing high over their unadorned prows, the 15 battleships of the Atlantic fleet passed in the Vir- ginia capes this afternoon bound to Hampton Roads to take on coal and supplies and to give their officers and men 8 much needed rest, while the targets, battered to pieces during the week, are being repaired at the Norfolk navy yard.

urbs should have good teams, and a city league would probably be successful. The Sunday School Basketball league, organ ized last year. should get on it's feet and start a scrappy contest.
 "The Southern Basketball league, or some similar league will be formed be- tween southern cities, while Vanderbilt and the Central University of Kentucky are preparing to bring good teams down. It is probable that some big northern college will send a squad south.
 The Young Mems Christian association is making an effort to find the best ma terial in the city and will probably turn out the strongest team in recent years"

Cooperation In Religion.

"I was very much impressed with some thing I saw in a secular journal taken from The Presbyterian, published in Phil adelphia," said member of the church. T think 1t well worth reprinting in The Age-Herald.
 Bishop McFaul, a Catholic, whose vigorous denunciation of irreligious col leges recently made such a stir, is now quoted as saying: Let me announce 1t deliberately and with all the emphasis possible. that the time has come when infidelity and immortality are stalking abroad in our land, and that 1t behooves all Christian people, Protestants and Cath olics alike, to forget their petty Jeal- ousies and indifferences and, although holding fast to their religious convictions, to unite, to stand shoulder to shoulder, forming an impregnable barrier to anti Christian doctrine and pagan morals" ''

Opprobrlous Term.

"The prohibition leader has a way of calling those opposing the constitutional amendment pro-liquor men," remarked q Confederate veteran.
 Leading up to the civil war, abolition ists in the north invented the word pro- slavery and applied it to southerners. It was regarded at the time as an approbri- ous term just as the term pro-liquor is intended to be now.
 There are many classes of prohibition ists and many classes of antl-prohibition- ists. In looking around us we find many men who voted in the Jefferson county election in 1907 under the local option law on the dry side and would probably do so again, put who are emphatieally against the proposed amendment. There are many men who oppose saloons but who are in favor of dispensaries for cities and no license for small towns. There are many men who abstain altogether from whisky wine and beer but who are against statutory prohibition. All such are termed by amendment prohi- bitionists pro-liquor Such cheap tactics will certainly react on the person or persons attempting to use them."

The cook.peary Rivalry.

Tt is to be regretted that great world startling act, such as the discovery of the north pole should be marred by the claims of rival,' said man who takes much interest in the feat of pr. Cook.
 "A careful reading of all the published matter leads me to believe that Peary heard of Cooks great dash and its suc- cess, and that he immediately set out to discredit it by tampering with the Es- kimos who all agree are child-like and easily led to say most anything to be obliging. They are purchable at a nom- inally small price, in fact, a bauble. And for cheap rife (s2.50) they will per- form the most arduous and difficult jour ney hundreds of miles. They are faith full but so tractabe that they can be easily used by shrewd and designing per- sons. Of one thing l am sure-Df.

 The Steel corporation owns 1,25S,- 2S9,000 tons of northern ores, and 459,- 100000 tons of southern ores, a total of 1,717,5s9 900 tons, or 3Sh per cent of the Butler estimate of the entire supply in the country.
 The ores of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not largely used, and today the country's supply comes largely from Lake Superior and the south, the two holding 3,432, ,O0O, ,OOO tons, of which the Steel corporation owns just about one-half. Any bet ter estimate than this Is not at hand.
 However inaccurate this estimate may be it is plain that the iron ore resources of the country will not be- come exhausted in a lifetime, or d century, or for that matter in any length of time that can be foreseen. This country Is rich in the ores that contain the great commercial metal, and when one mine gives out there Is always another near at hand to take its place.

The Stock Market.

InS 0tOCK mdThCIs
 Henry Clews in his Saturdays review says in part:
 '"The general financial atmosphere has been greatly clarified by the death of MT. Hartman. His illness had for weeks been the source of depression and distrust in stock exchange circles; his precarious condition was fully appreciated in we'll informed quarters, where 1t was known to be only a question of time when science could do no more. The end came, perhaps, rather more suddenly than gen. orally expected, but 1t did not come un- awares; and MT. Harriman's friends and associates, as well as those whose interests are tied up with his by the mutual re- responsibilities of finance, have had ample time to prepare safeguards against un- necessary excitement and demoralzation in the stock market When a market lead- CT dies there is usually popular dis position to look for liquidation of his se- curity holdings. Experience has again and again proven this view to be err roneous. Men of large affairs like MT. Hartman may always be depended upon to leave Intlr tsldlGS III cAcChChS SAdpO and under competent direction.
 "On the other hand the passing of MT. Hartman as a factor in the financial sit- uation must of necessity differ from the passing of other noted market leaders, since he can have no successor. There cannot be and should not be a second Hartman; other financial interests will not permit 1t; and 1t is eminently desirable that this attitude should be maintained.
 Tt is not unlikely that the period of dulIness which accompanied MT. Harri- mans illness will, after the first burst of excitement, become even more protracted until some clear idea becomes possible of the new railroad situation that Is to develop. The violent fluctuations of a few weeks ago were artificial; the strength and activity in the market were largely the result of professional manipulation. The market seems to have over-discounted trade and industrial improvement and must walt for these departments Of our activities to catch up and adjust them selves accordingly. The iron and steel industry has undeniably made active and pEaCtiCdl IcCOFcTy liOAA thc AS~N~s hSAA~>A of depression, but even in this most spec tacular instance the conservative mem bers of the trade are beginning to advise caution and moderation as definite fu- ture policy The great dry goods trade of the country has reached state of balance, awaiting indication whether the progress already made has been too fast or whether an additional advance snail be attempted. In this and other important trades the point has been reached where ths retailers are about to show whether the preparations>made in their behalf by the distributors have or have not been overdone. In other words, disposition toward conservatism is becoming mani- fest all along the line which is certainly subject to none but favorable intsrpre- tation.'

Iron Ore in the United States

Any statement of the available tons of iron ore in this country is neces- sarily an estimate, almost a guess, for accurate measurements do not and never will exist. But the opinions of experts are worth something. There Is MT. Birkenbine's estimate, for ex- ample. Joseph c. Butler, Jr, of Youngstown, Ohio, took the Birkenbine figures and all other information he could gather and he evolved a table which he laid before the Senate finance committee. This table relates to ores of commercial standard avail able in the immediate future, as fol. lows:
