TWO NEW TRAINS
 ID RUN 0N Q. & |. Is Result of Increased Pas-
 senger Traffic THE NEW SCHEDULES Claimed That Heavy Traffic on Both Sides of Birmingham Alawys
 Caused Regular Trains
 to Be Late

l Two new through fast passenger trans from Chattanooga through this city to New Orleans will be inaugurated next | Sunday by the Queen and Crescet route, according to an announcement made yes terday.
 l The trains will be known as No. [. south bound, and No. s, north bound. Added to the present through service of the Queen and Crescent route the new trains will provide three daily trains for the south and for the north. New train No. will 1 leave Chattanooga at 6:20 at night and will leave Birmingham at 1925 at night. l There will only be 15 minutes difference in the present train No. l, leaving her al 1015 at night.
 No. north bound will leave Meridian at 1:55 every morning and Will pass through Birmingham at 6;25 a. m.. arriving at Chattanooga at 1920 a. m. This tram will be 15 minutes behind regular No. ?. The entire schedule of all the fast trains. including the present service with 70 consists of each train as now arranged, follows:
 New Schedule
 No. 1--Leave Chattanooga 6:05 D. m. Ar rive Birmingham 1O05 D. m. Leave Bir- mingham 1925 D. m. Arrive Meridian 3 a. m
 No. 7-Leave Chattanooga 6:2o p. m. Ar rive Birmingham 1920 p. m. Leave Bir- mingham 1925 D. mh Arrive Meridian p. m. h l No. 2-Leave Meridian 1:iO a. m. Arrive Birmingham 6;05 a. m. Leave Birmingham 6:1O a. m. Arrive Chattanooga 10:05 a. m. No S-Leave Meridian 1 :55 a. m. Arrive Birmingham 6:2O a. m. Leave Birminghain 6:25 a. m. Arrive Chattanooga 1920 a. m. No. 22-Leave Birmingham 6:35 a. m. Ar rive Chattanooga 1l;35 q. m.
 The new service is principally for the purpose of lessening the heavy trains now operated as No. | at night and No. in the morning. At this time 1t is said to be ex- tremely difficult for even the large Queen and Crescent engines to handle the eX- cessively heavy passenger trains operated over the Queen and Crescent. Another need for the new service is said to be the fact that No. 1 south bound, morning fast train is invariably late on account or con- nections at Chattanooga and Meridian, As now outlined the trains leaving Chatta- nooga so near together will handle the Chattanooga Southern connection and the Washington Southern railway connection. If one is late the first train will move out and handle all the local business of Bir- mingham that would be handled by the present fast train No. l.
 A typical example of the serious delay of passenger from this city south Is fur nished from experiences of the past few ,veelxs on account of the rough weather above Chattanooga train service on the Queen and Crescent has been very uneven out of Birmingham. On some occasions trains were seven and eight hours late. So serious didN the situation finally become that the local officials operated no less than 15 special trains out of Birmingham to serve the expectant public only on account of the late arrival Of the regular trains.

THE CAREER OF
 NEW YORK HARRY

The career of New York Harry" who is to be brought to Birmingham to face a charge of murder of Policemen Adams and Kirkley in March, 190O is a peculiarly interesting one. However, his name is not Harry Dowd as was stated, but Harry Petit. Chief Bodeker made this discov- cry yesterday while reviewing his diary.
 New York Harry's" father was named Patrick Petit and was shoemaker in La Salle, Ill.,, where Harry was born. There is a canal on which La Salie is situated and in their early days, like the nartyred Garfield, Harry and his brother Tom drove mules drawing barges on this canal
 Finally finding that this sort of life was too slow for them, they went to the near by metropolis, Chicago. After two or three years of this kind of life it is said that they became aligned with Chicago's band of yeggmen.
 However, things became too warm for him in the Windy City and he left there going to Denver. Colo, the story says He resided in that district for several years and earned for himself the appella- tion of Denver Harry" But things be- came 10 close for him there, and he made the long jump from Denver to New York city. It was there that he won for him. selm the nickname by which he is gen. erally kDown-"New York Harry"
 From there he conducted his operations through the middle and southern states finally allying himself with the Miller Duncan gang. which met it's Waterloo in Birmingham just after cracking the safe of the Standard oil company

needs of such that the church will be severely tested in coming days"
 Rev. Stelzle drew a number of strong examples to accentuate his talk. Hav- ing studied labor conditions in prac- tically every city in the United States and many in foreign lands, the speaker was able to draw a strong picture of general conditions and bring the mat ter before the men in the strongest manner. He gave two forces that have been challenging the church for su- premacy in the hearts of the people.

To Develop Courage to
Grasp Opportunities.

To preserve the neatness of the
garden the children are taught to
gather stones and trash, load
wbeelbarrows and wheel them
away. In doing this, and in keep
ing in order the paths over which
the loads must be wheeled, they
learn in simple. effective manner
to think about one of the greatest
aids to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The way in which the question of
good roads can be brought to chill
dren in a garden will make them
think more and more of the fact
that "all production is transporta-
ton" and that as all material pro-
ductfon is the result of moving
things. so all material wealth is the
result of moving things economi-
cally, that they may be worth more
after they are moved than they
were before.
The widespread use of gardens
in the education of children will be

Money Is Lubricant,
Not Motive Power.

Money is the lubricant that makes
the machinery run easily, but 1t is
not the motive power that drives
the machine.
An editorial writer in The Inter
national Railroad Employee, ad-
dressing railroad operatives, says:
you seldom, If ever, give any Sc
rious thought to lettering your
condition, except by hoping for bet
ter wages. Your ideals begin and
end with wages, and so long as
that be true there is no possibility
of your condition being bettered"
Mr.. Stokes will not fool with his
money. but presumably will lay 1t
out, not in filling mems pockets,
but in improving men themselves
and adding to their equipment and
thus qualifying them to fill their
own pockets
There are two ways of living;
one is living by rule, the other Is
living by impulse. There is a wide
and important difference between
the two. and I should be pleased If
every one reading this article would
understand what that difference is
and how great and serious 1t is.
The person who acts by impulse
does what at any given moment he
feels like doing; while the one who
lives by rule acts according to GER
tain established laws that he has
deliberately laid down for himself.
OF course, it is natural and a deal
easier and pleasanter to do always
exactly what we feel like doing, and
if our feelings were always right 1t
would be altogether safer to do so,
and perhaps there are some whose
dispositions are so fine and 81
steadily fine that what they want
to do will always be the thing that
it is proper and wise for them to

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. II. Parkhurst

4 N editorial writer has sug-
n gested to Mr.. Stokes, the
wealthy candidate for the
mayoralty of Stamford and a So
cialist, that If he wants to do some
thing for the poor he had better
turn his property into dollars and
distribute the proceeds of sale
among the needy.
It is disappointing that, at this
stage Of the game, when so many
sensible things have been said
about ameliorating the conditions
Of the less favored classes, a man
should be found who, while posing
as an oracle, should recommend to
Mr. Stokes a policy of amelioration
so stupidity inadequate.
Supposing that all the property
in the country were converted into
cash and the resulting FUNDS eX-
pended in an equable per capita
distribution, where would the poor
people, as well as the rich ones, be
at the end of a month? Dollars
are necessary, but dollars are not
what amelioratio is made Of
The man who initiated Christian
civilization was not millionaire,
but was so poor that when 1t came
time for him to pay his poll tax he
had to have one of his disciples go
fishing in order to raise the neces-
sary funds.
I am not blinking the fact that
the poor ought to have more
money; but more money is not the
chief nor the fundamental thing.

Children's gardens conducted on

There is much work to be done In
the garden outside of the child's

public works that must be attend

tribute their services to the gem

And in this work they learn Of

many people of that kind.
Example of Vessel
Crossing the Atlantic.

Crossing the Atlantic.
If a sailing vessel is crossing the
Atlantic it would save the sailors
great deal of trouble and hard work
to let her go as she pleases; and r.
the wind were blowing from the
right quarter and continued to blow
from the same quarter without any
veering, then the vessel might be
left to herself to go her own way
and she would arrive in port all
right.
But winds do not usually work
in that way.
Some of the time they come from
the east and some of the time from
somewhere else and everywhere
else, Very much like mans dis
position the wind is.
Therefore, the captain has to lay
down line for the vessel to run
upon and hold her to that line.
That is to say. the vessel must sail
by rule and not by impulse.
Almost all people do lay down
rules for themselves and some ~
the time they follow them, but once
In while impulse starts up, a sud-
den desire setzes them. and the rule
Is broken and goes all to pieces.
Everything in nature goes bv
rule. The earth revolves by rule;
the trees leaf and blossom by rule,
II the world about us acted only
by impulse, everything would BIZ

winds would tear up the forests
the hills would tumble into the
lakes and the stars would bunn

reader that what bavA inst bae,
saying has very direct applica-
ton to the present political situa-
ton. Opinions today are of two
sorts.
One sort is that Of people who
want to have government admin
1stered by rule and the other opjn-

adventures. In referring to Peak
Island off the coast OF Queensland,
where this particular trip took
place, this correspondent writes
that the beach is only about 400
yards long, all the rest of the is
land being rocky.
The first operation is to catch the
turtles, which are plentifully scat
tered about the island, and turn
them over on their backs, in which
position they are perfectly helpless.
When one learns that these animals
weigh from two to three hundred
weight, IT is not surprising that
considerable knaCk is required to
do this, but the neatest and quick
est way, it is explained, is to grab
the turtle from behind and tip 1t
over its head AS soon as trip
is arranged the turtles--as many
as are required-are turned over,
and, finding themselves on their
feet once more, they make for the
sea with the men on their backs,
who, when in about foot Of water,
squat on the animals, holding on to
them where the coat collar ought
to be.
