disfavor upon the employment of steam boats by railroads. Therefore, the de- cision was made to operate these trans by distant and roundabout way, involving the use of the railroad bridge across the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. This method has not proved very satisfactory. It was like going from Washington to New York by way of Harrisburg or from Detroit to Chicago by way of Cleveland. So at last these trains have been discontinued.
 Presumably they will be resumed and other and larger passenger traffic accom- modations be provided between New Eng land, on the one hand, and Washington, the south and southwest, on the other. when the greatest of modern bridges-at least spanning any salt water-is com pleted. The middle span of this bridge overlooks the whirlpool of Hell Gate, and, as a whole it furnishes the means by which physical or actual contact between the railroad systems of New England and that of the Pennsylvania company can be secured. Then passenger trains from the south, the southwest and possibly or two from the west; or, in reverse order, some from New England, will go unbrok- en back and forth. But the discontinu- ance of the so-called Federal Express, which served an excellent purpose for many years, furnishes a commentary up- on some of the pecuiarities of the fed eral statutes, or the interpretation of them by the interstate commission.

BISHOPS TO AID IN

Athens Female College to Raise S125, 900 to EndOw Institution
 and Meet Obligation

Athens, January 14.-(Special.) )-News has reached Athens of the acceptance by Bishop Collins Denny and Bishop James H. Mccoy of speakers places in the Athens college endowment campaign, to begin March l.
 By unanimous action of the North Ala bama conference the months of March and April have been set aside for this campaign. which will be short, systematic and business-like. Some of the leading men of southern Methodism have been actively enlisted in the work. In addi- ton to Bishops Denny and Mccoy, Dr. Stonewall Anderson, secretary of educa- ton, will lend his aid during the cam paign, and the Rev. J. s. Chadwick, as sistant editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate. will be one of the active field workers.
 Athens college is the only standard col jege for women in the center of a white population of more than 2,0900O persons.
 The three specific objects of the cam paign are to raise s25,000 to cover an obli- gation of that amount now resting on the North Alabama conferences; to secure $l00,CO0 for the endowment of Athens col lege in order for it to maintain it's place among the Class A colleges of the south, and as a result of the endowment to in crease the efficiency of Athens college teachers by raising their salaries. The movement will be conference wide and the cultivation will be intensive. Direct ly and indirectly it is proposed to reach the entire membership of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, more than 100000 in the North Alabama conference.

IF IT WERE CIVIL ACTION

Had the department of justice at Wash ington brought a civil action against the railroad and pressed it, then in all prob- ability much of the testimony offered by the defense in this case would also have been offered in support of the contention that criminal monopoly was not what the directors of the New Haven system sought to establish, but, instead a uni tcation of a good many scattered, some stra agGling and some very impecunious railroad lines in New England, each run ming independently, that thereby the commercial and industrial interest of New England could be greatly aided this. of course, resulting also in larger earnings for the railroad company.

THE LAWS DELAY

While the prosecution, of the New Haven railroad directors was in progress President Howard Elliott of the New Haven system caused the announcement to be made that no longer would through trains be operated between Boston and New England at Philadelphia and Wash il gton. It is more than 20 years ago that the New Haven management, in cooper ation with that of the Pennsylvania sys- tenn, established through passenger traf- fife between Washington, Philadelphia
 Boston and New England. This was ac- complished by means of a large car ferry boat which took on the trains at Jersey City or at Mott Haven at the other end and thus transported them unbroken around New York so that they could be taken up again either at the New Jersey side or at the Harlem river side. The undertaking proved to be of great benefit. It made unnecessary the break in travel between Washington or Baltimore by req son of the passage across New York city.
 At last the law or at least the intima = tion that the law might be invoked, caused it to be deemed the part of pru- dence that this arrangement be changed. The law was regarded as looking with
