CIRCULATED DURING YEAR
NEARLY 100000 BIBLES

NEW YORK, May 29.-The big
gest year of Bible circulation since
the high levels of the war period, is
reported by the American Bible So
ciety in the annual report just is
sued. This report says:
THE total number of volumes cir
culated during the year was 1885,
AGA, which is more than a million in
excess of the distribution of the pre-
ceding year. The largest increase
is shown in China, where 2,362,7 30
were circulated From Japan, the
Near East, and all Latin America,
there has come an increased demand
so great that the society has been UNI
able to meet it.
'The revised Spanish New Tesla
ment has been completed and will be
ready for distribution during the
coming year. Translation work has
gone forward in Luragoli for mis-
sions in British East Africa, in Que
chua for the Bolivian Indians: in
Zulu for the black people of South
Africa; in K'pelle for use in Liberia.
In China large parts of the Scrip
lures have been issued in the new
phonetic script, which is a simplified
written form endorsed and promoted
by the government.

AT State Osteopathic
Convention

ATLANTA, May 3O.-T The twen-

gia Osteopathic association will be
held June 3 in the Hotel Piedmont.
DR.. j. w. Elliott. of Atlanta, will de-
liver the address of welcome.
DIR. H. H. Trimble, of Moultrie.
Will read paper upon public educa-
ton, in which he will make the first
public announcement of the fact that
the old school had instigated an Off
| clal investigation into the claims of
osteopathy, and that osteopathic re-
search work is now being conducted
by osteopathic physicians in the Peter
Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston.
one of the largest allopathic hospi-
tails in the world This is being done
under the auspices of the Massachu-
sets Medical society, Harvard Medi-
cal school. DR.. Trimble will also re-
port that state boards of registration
IN osteopathy have now been estab-
lshed IN twenty-five states, and that
IN other states osteopathic physicians
are licensed by the state boards of
registration in medicine.
Osteopathic surgery of the eve. ear.
nose and throat, by means of which
treatment is administered with the
niger instead of surgical instruments.
Will be demonstrated by DR.. Stella
thurman, of Americas, who will ex-
plain how catarrhal deafness may be
helped by this method, and how hay
fever and impaired vision are also
materially benefited.
The physics and mechanics of este.
opathy will be explained by DR.. Got
reauX, of the Blackman Sanitarium,
Atlanta, who will demonstrate the
effect upon the function of internal
organs secured by correcting the
adjustment of the supporting frame
work of the body, and particularly
of the spine.
Proctology from the osteopathic
viewpoint will be the subject of the
paper of DR.. Grover Jones, of Macon.
Children's clinics for the osteo-
pathic prevention and correction of
ieformities are being established all
over the country, and DR.. C. L.
Brooke, of Columbus, will report up
on the plans being made for open
ing such institutions in Georgia.
Particular attention will be paid
in this state to backward children,
and those who are suffering from re-
tarded development, as the osteo-
paths claim that special adjustment
causes such children to rapidly in
crease in physical and mental growth.

FIRST RY. MERGER
RULED UNLAWFUL
Government Wins Trust Suit
Against Southern Pacific
Railway

WASHINGTON, May 20. - The
government won today in the Su-
preme court in it's suit to have the
Southern Pacific company's owner
ship of the Central Pacific railways
declared unlawful.
The case brought to the attention
of the supreme court the control by
Kentucky corporation OF the Cen
trial Pa ice and Southern Pacific
railroad companies in alleged viola
m of the Pacific railroads and Sher-
@ anti-tru,t laws.
The government declared in argu-
nent it presented zone of the dark
est pages in American railroad his
tory" Although the oldest consoli-
dalton was the last of the railroad
merger cases to be decided by the
Supreme court, originating in 1885,
when the Southern Pacific, five years
before the enactment of the Sherman
law in 1890, it is alleged to have
been brought under the prohibitions
of that law in 1898 new lease was
made, which was converted into
stock-ownership in 1899.
The cases presented many unique
and interesting features, and during
oral argument counsel refreshed the
memory of the court of the hayday
of American railroad reorganization
and financing, when in the late SOS
and early COS the "big four" consist
ng of Leland Stanford, Coils P.
huntington, Mark Hopkins and Chas.
Crocker and other railroad builders
VINO had girded the middle and Pa
citic west with iron bands, contest
ed with Edward H. Hartman and
other railroad "Napoleons" in rear
ranging the railroad maps.

LYE SOLUTION MAKES
FEELING FRUIT EASY

The process of removing skins
from peaches, plums and pears for
canning, by dipping them in a I've
solution has been referred to the
Board of Food md Drug Inspection,
which reports mat it will hava 10
bad effect OF the quality of the
fruit and is not contrary to the re-
quirements of the Food and Drug
Act.
This process is simple, saves time,
trouble and large portion of the
fruit. Hand peeling is not only
wasteful and tiresome, but the most
valuable part Of the fruit, next to the
skin IS thrown away. In one of the
Reading Courses of the Canning Club,
Cornell University, the following
formula is given:
ITO remove the skins of peaches,
plums and pears, put two gallons of
