.CAHEEN PRAISES
WATER AGREEMENT
Thinks Birmingham's Water
Supply Unsurpassed
SHOULD BE THANKFUL
Says Company Deserves Praise for Its
Concessions, Which 1t Does Not
Have to Make Under
It's Contract
SHOULD BE THANKFUL

Tho controversy between the city of
Birmingham and the birmingham Water
works company regarding the water rates
has attracted much attention, and the
outcome of the series of conferences be-
tween the two parties and the opinions of
experts on this matter have been the SUBJ
ject of much comment
The arrival at conclusion In the con-
tToversy has been generally received with
satisfaction. and there are those who de-
clare the new agreement as to water rates
reasonable and fair Sol Caheen. one of
the leading merchants of the city. and
citizen who has always taken an interest
in municipal AFFAIRS, Is outspolsen in his
praise of the new schedule of rates. He
is more than enthusiastic In his praise of
the excellent quality OF the water sup
piled to the city, which he declares is
pure, cool and limpid" In speaking of
the matter, Mr.. Caheen said:
THE people of Birmingham ought to
thank God for their excellent water sup
ply furnished by the Birmingham Water
sively throughout the country and have
yet to visit a city that has a water sup
ply that equals that of Birmingham. For
purity, taste clearness and GOODNESS 1t far
surpasses the water supply of the places I
have visited. In some of the southern
cities the water supply is hardly fit to
take bath in, and much less Mt for
drinking purposes in others the water is
disagreeable, both as to taste and smell.
Il think the concessions of tho Bir-
mingham Waterworks company reason
able and fair. especially when It IS
taken In consideration that the conces-
sions were not obligatory on the com
pany under the terms of their several
contracts with the city
Then again, I can't recall a single
case of typhoid fever that has been
while we often read of epidemic In other
cities caused by the water supply. some
of them close to home
II just ask the people who travel, I
care not what direction. to compare the
water supply of the places visited.
whether used for bath purposes or for
table use. with the water of Birming-
ham, and 1 am sure on their return
they VIII echo my sentiments. 1t Is
contended that the water rates In this
city are higher than those of other
southern cities, yet l insist 1t Is worth
the price, especially under the amended
schedule of rates In my opinion the
city commissioners should not hesitate
to close the agreement with the water
works company on the terms agreed to
last week:
And while thanking the Almighty
for the pure and sparkling. and limpid
liquid, due credit should be given to
tho waterworks company for the con-
struction and maintenance of the SPLEEN
did waterworks system that makes pos
sible such excellent results

UNIQUE FIRE ON
AN EAST LAKE CAR
Thought to Have Been Caused By
Match Dropped in the Win
dow Socket

A very unique fire occurred last night
at Woodlawn at 10 o'clock, when an
East Lake car outward bound stopped
at Woodlawn station with one whole
side of the motor car blazing with little
Jets of flames, that shot out from the
cracks in the wood. Volumes of thick
black smoke were rolling from between
the outside wall and, the thin partition
that forms socket for the window
when opened.
Assistance was obtained from the
Woodlawn fire department. and the
flames extinguished. but when the car
left Woodlawn station, smoke was still
coming from the side. Upon reaching
the East Lake car barn, the car was
given a complete drenching. and the
fire was put out.
1t Is thought that the blaze originated
from a burning match dropped down
between the partitions by a passenger
on the car. and the bits Of trash at the
bottom became ignited. The smoke
became so dense after passing LaCross
station, that the passengers were COM
PEELED to get off the motor car and
transfer to the trailer.

God" He continued by reading from

people Many were the rites that fol-
lowed. During the chanting OF the
litany of the saints the candidates
Frustrated themselves at the foot of the

Become Children of God

"rhe gospel of St John tells us that
Christ by His incarnation gave to all the
power to become children of God. How do
we become children of. God? The last
words of our blessed Saviour before He
left the world were n solemn promise to
send the Paracete. the Holy Ghost, upon
them to complete the work of the redemp-
ton. On Pentecost day the promise of
Christ and the prophecy of JOEL Behold
will pour out my spirit upon all flesh
were fulfilled In the most solemn manner,
when the Holy Spirit descended from
heaven In the visible form of fiery tongues.
Now the mission and the work of the Holy
Ghost is to endow the soul of man with
spiritual power. to implant in his soul the
principle of supernatural life. The office
and the work of the Holy Ghost is to take
up His abode and actually live and dwell
In the soul of man and to become in him
the motive power of all his spiritual ae-
tivity. Only those are children of God In
whom the Holy Ghost lives and who are
led by the spirit of God"
The preacher touched briefly upon the
ordination rites. The PRINCIPAL action, he
said, was that which actually confers the
powers of priesthood-silent imposition of
the hands of the bishop upon those to be
ordained.
Father Theodosius' peroration was dra-
matte and stirring. and his sermon
throughout was heard with rapt attention.
