From the New York Times.

r rom the New 1ork Times. 1N0 .fI.TTMoRE, October 3O.-Cardinal
 lN Gibbons in his sermon today said
 that it might be expected that he would have a special message for his peo-
 pie or the eve of the election. but he had none, leaving the matter of voting to the intelligence of the people and request
 ing them to cast their votes in accordance with the dictates of their consciences.
 There are some Respondent, ilboding prophets" the cardinal continued, "who are in the habit of predicting the over- throw of our country. They. tell us that
 the only way to avert this dire catastro-
 plse would be the election of their favorite candidate. These prophecies are made
 most frequently on the eve of presi- dental election, like the present moment. I have been listening to these forebodnss ,for the past sixty years.
 But in every instance, so far, the American people wake up in the morning after the election to discover that they
 were disquieted by false alarms and that
 the people were attending to their affairs
 and the government was transactng its
 lsksiness as tranquiily. and quietly as if sno election had taken place. 'ss.From the Foundation of our republic over century and a quarter ago, our federal union has passed through a series of ordeals and upheavals which were well
 calculated to test the strength and en- . durance of any nation in the world.
 If I were asked on what grounds do base my hopes that our system of gov Iernment will endure, l answer that rest
 my hopes on the enlightenment and pa triotism of our citizens, the foreeign-born as well as the natives, for many of our
 adopted citizens who have groaned abroad under the heel of autocratic despotisin appreciate all the more the blessings of co institutional freedom which they here 1 enjoy and will never surrender these blessings without a struggle. l place my | hopes in the wisdom of our statesmen and !, in the valor of our soldiers. And surely
 we have strong grounds for our reliance
 on the military prowess of our army and

In perfectly friendly way. Charles Jones, assistant general manager of the Birmingham Traffic bureau, has called the turn on his friend, F. Del Wood, manager of the one in Chattanooga. Atr. Jones said;
 MT. Wood wrote me letter in which he showed that the Chattanooga organization had collected claims Tor it's merchant members of $10,000, $20.- 900 and $300O0 successively during it's first three years. To this l was able to write back that our bureau had col lected claims amounting to $75,000, s105, ,0o0 and S11S,000 successively dur ing our first three years. I also wrote him that in ten months of this year, as recently shown in The Age-Herald we had collected s12O,0o0 in claims for our members. All of which shows that out side cities will not fare well by invit- ing comparison with Birmingham ac- tivities.''

Always Growing

That Birmingham is growing city and considered by business men 10 be one of the most progressive cities in the entire south is evidenced by -he fact that there are between 6,000 and 1000 more people in Birmingham today than were here when the census was taken" said o. L. Bum, manager if the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce..
 "Of course, I may be wrong In hese figures. but I got them from the lead of a large business concern in the city who has to make improvements and in. crease the size of his business each year to keep up with the population. Birmingham is the largest and ,ivest community in the south, and I think that it will continue the same for many many years to come"

Need More Room

T notice that one firm of doctors has left one of the big office buildings and leased a close-in residence on Twen- tieth street near Wilson park" said Paul Barnet giving as a reason that space was so scarce and restrictions 50 rigid and rents so high that they just concluded to make an experiment even if it proved in the end to be unwise It is but an evidence that Birmingham is rapidly growing city, for it is nearly as hard to procure desirable of- fices in the skyscrapers as it is to rent a livable home."

 George W. Stevens. president of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. who died suddenly Wednesday, was for 30 years one of Richmond's s most esteemed citizens," said William Ryan. ..Al- though he was in his seventieth year. he was apparently in good health and was uncommonly active in the per formance of his executive duties
 "Mr Stevens entered railroad ser vice when a small boy and worked his way up through the train dispatchers s office until he became general superin- tendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio. He was soon advanced to the position of general manager of that road and in 1900 was elected president.
 While he was busy man year in and year out, he always found time to devote large share of his energies to civic affairs He was one Richmonds most public spirited citizens and a leader in cultural enterprises. including music festivals.
 "A man of genial disposition and polisbed manner, Mir. Stevens was popu- lar with all classes. His death will be severely felt in Virginia"
