Endowment of Orphans, Home

The board of directors of the Alabama
Methodist orphanage at the recent meet
ing which was held in Summerfield, the
home of the orphanage, received the
handsome gift of $4,000 from the estate
of C. l.. Virgins of Pine Barren, Fla.
The board decided to set the fund aside
and use it In the future to be added to
by other requests and donations that
might be made for a permanent build
ing or endowment fund. The $4,000 will
draw interest and thus increase and will
form the nucleus for the endowment
frnG which it is hoped will be raised.
There was some talk of moving the
orphanage to a different location, pre-
sumably Greenville, but this question
was not definitely decided at the recent
meeting. Both the North Alabama and
the Alabama conferences are to be held
before any final action will be taken.
There is also another drawback in con-
nection with moving the home. 1t must
be materially changed before it can be
moved.
The new plan OF raising the money for
the support of the orphanage seems to
be working to the satisfaction Of the
members of the board. Superintendent
Reid is giving his entire time to this
work and there is now no regular agent
in the field. The different Sunday
schools Of the two conferences set aside
the collection one Sunday in each quar-
ter for the support of the orphanage In
this way the money Is collected with
very little expense. The meeting of the
board was a most cordial and pleasant
one and each expressed himself as sat
isfied with the working of the orphan
age.

D, G. Il. & NJ. Taxed $4,000.

Auditor-General Fuller served no.
tice on the Detroit, Grand Haven e.
Milwaukee Railroad Co. that he had
fixed its tax for the year 1909 at $70,-
600. He finds the capital paid in on
that road $7,000,000, and computing
the tax at Z per cent. which it's spe-
cial charter provides for, he finds the
amount to be $4,000.
This is the only railroad in Michi-
gan not now under the general tax
law. There has been a fight going on
between the road and the state for
several years to subject it TO the
general tax law of the state. but the
supreme court of Michigan, last year
held that the rate of taxation fixed
in its charter in 1856 was still in
force, and that ii could not be taxed
more than the / per cent provided
for in the charter. The charter pro-
vides that il may be taxed per cent
on its capital stock paid in.
Many years ago the capital stock
was $2.500.000. and it has since paid
a tax of $4,000 per annum. The road
has been practically rebuilt since the
capital stock was fixed at that amount,
and Auditor-General Fuller finds from
reports which it has made that there
has gone into the road up to 1909, ST.
100000 in capital.

Rrlna U. p. RaIIroads q Tlme.

Representatives of the various rail
roads in the state still doing business
under q three-cent rate were before
the state railroad commission discuss
ing the excess baggage rates which
have given the commission so much
trouble during the past few months.
When the court issued an order
compelling the roads in the lower
peninsula TO adopt the schedule pro-
mulgated by the commission, the com
panies north of the straits refused to
check baggage over their roads at the
same rate and many jobbing houses
have made complaints, alleging injus-
tice and discrimination.
It Is probable that the commission
will compel the three-cent roads TO
carry baggage at the same rate as
the other companies. Chairman c. l..
Glasgow stated that an opinion will
be rendered in the matter some time
next week.

BIG SPOTS ON THE SUN AS THE
COMETS TAIL PASSES ARE
ABOUT ALL THAT OBJ
SERVERS SAW.
SCIENTISTS EXPECTED TO GET
VALUABLE NEGATIVE AS
WELL AS POSITIVE
RESULTS.
Phenomena Of the Daylight Hours
Were Far More interesting Than
During the Night; All Over
Within About Five Hours.

The comet came. the comet went,
and this old earth is no worse and no
better-and, thus far. very little wiser.
There was no collision, as the super
stitious and the ignorant feared. and
now that the comet is headed away
from US, there will be no recurrence
of the manifestations of terror that
were recorded from all parts of the
country. None of the auroral displays
that some astronomers were willing
TO concede might be visible were in.
evidence. Nor did anybody suffocate
from deadly cyanogen gas. Comet
parties were held everywhere-in the
streets, on roof tops, in gardens--but
for all that was visible to the naked
eye the tail Of the comet was indeed
the "veriest approach to nothing set
in the midst of naught."
In fact the phenomena of the day
light hours were far more interesting.
Sun spots were observed in varying
numbers, from five western observa-
tories, but the astronomers whe rec
orded them were almost unanimous
in the belief that these disturbances
OF the solar atmosphere had nothing
to do with the comet and were merely
coincidental.
Thirty sun-spots were seen from st.
Louis, of which the largest was esti-
mated TO be 10000 miles across; two
from San Jose, Cal, with 13 surround
ing pores. or smaller spots; three
considerably accentuated" spots
from Chicago, three connected spots
from Vallejo, Cal, and two from Port
land, Ore. None of the eastern OBJ
servers had anything of note to re-
port. At Chicago and Williams Bay,
Wis, where is the great Yerkes tele-
scope, the conditions for observations
seemed the best, and the astronomers
there were confident that the mega
tive as well as the positive results of
their examinations would be of lasting
scientific value.
The whole performance took little
more than FIVE hours. Observers diff
fered as TO the exact time at which
the earth began to pass through the
comets tail. The combined speed of
the earth and the comet was estima-
ted at slightly more than 46 miles
second. and the breadth of the tail
at about million miles.
Prof. w. j. Hussey, director of the
astronomical observatory at Ann Ar
Dor, offers a new solution to the prob
lem, Why didn't the earth PASS
through the comets tail as per sched-
ule?"
His theory, which is well backed up
by evidence. is that the comet has a
double tail. and that the earth passed
between the two parts. This would
also explain why some astronomers
have seen the tail in the west in the
evening since Wednesday, while others
have seen it in the same old place in
the east before sunrise
