CLERICAL FORCE
On May 15 a small army of clerks
and stenographers now employed by
the Southern railway will probably be
out of Jobs.
Orders cutting the office force In the
offices of the' assistant genera! passen
ger agents and the district passenger
agents throughout the eyetem are eald
to have been iseued, and those who
have already received notice that their
eervlcea will no longer be needed are
of the opinion that It Is probably an
other one of the Southern’s methods
of economy.
At leant one stenographer in the paa-
senger department In Atlanta lias been
notified that his services with the
Bouthem will terminate on May 15 and
it is said others have received the same
kind of notice.
An attempt to get an official state
ment concerning these alleged methods
of economy resulted In a chase for the
man higher up. District Passenger
Agent Lusk referred questioners to As
sistant General Passenger Agent Allen
and that official referred them to Gen
eral Agent J. S. B. Thompson.
Mr. Thompson Is not In the city, but
his chief clerk, E. D. Duncan, had not
heard of the orders. Mr. Duncan said,
however, that during the summer
months there Is not as much, business
as In the winter in the passenger de
partment and that sometimes men are
laid off, but he knew nothing about any
general orders that may have come
from the office' of General Passenger
Agent Tayloe in Washington. It is
said that the orders are general and
refer to offices all over the system.

POSITION OF WESLEY MEMORIAL
FAIRLY STATED BY AN OFFICIAL
IN REPLY TO DR. BROUGHTON
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It Is to be regretted that the re.
marks of Dr. Broughton Sunday In re
gard to his great movement for the pro
motion of practical Christianity In At.
lanta should have carried the lmpres.
slon that the discussion at this time of
the needs of other institutions, equally
as worthy of support, was designed in
any wise to retard the progress of his
enterprise.
As an official of the Wesley Memo
rial church and one thoroughly fa
miliar with the movement, I desire to
make a simple statement of the Wesley
Memorial church movement.
The Atlanta district conference, held
in July, 1902, at Epworth church, upon
the report of a committee, composed
of one member from each church in
the district, unanimously directed the
erection of an Institutional church In
the city of Atlanta. Such 4-as inaugu
rated in the Wesley Memorial enter
prise, which has contalnued from that
time until now, with stgpdlly Increasing
prosperity and success.
During the following year, when the
Methodists throughout the world were
celebrating the bl-centenary of John
Wesley’s birthday, The Wesleyan
Christian Advocate took up tho matter
and suggested that the Institutional
church, with Its related enterprises, be
made a memorial of Mr. Weaiey In the
city of Atlanta, the capital city of the
only atate in America In which Mr.
Wesley ever lived.
A church lot was bought and a tem
porary building erected thereon. A lit
tle later another lot with a building
upon It was purchased and the hospital
put In operation. The hospital has
now been opened nearly two years.
Up to date we have treated 608 pa
tients. Of these 167 have been treated
free. The charity work of, the hos
pital since its opening has amounted <
57,979.89.
More than 600 people have been
brought Into the church since its open
ing and good crowds attend upon its
worship.
Additions have been made from time
to time to tho property. And plans
have been maturing for months past
for undertaking the movement which
Is now under way.
The original plan as outlined called
ultimately for the expenditure of not
less than a quarter of a million of dol
lars to execute It. Already the lots and
Improvements have called for the out
lay of 870.000.
The recent meetings have been held
in furtherance of this original design
on the part of tho Methodists to erect
and maintain In this city a "real insti
tutional church as a worthy memorial
of Mr. Wesley. As indicated above, the
WeSley Memorial movement has been
In progress nearly five years. It was
undertaken in recognition of tho duty
of the church to thoroughly equip
seif for the highest service to humanity.
I wish Dr, Broughton every success
in his great and worthy undertaking.
The" city needs more of such Institu
tions to secure Its highest welfare and
the Christian people of the city are well
able to maintain all the enterprises that
have been proposed, whether Metho
dists, Baptists, Presbyterians or any
body else.
But it can not be expected of the
Methodists with their institution
progress of construction to abandon I
There Is no occasion for Ephraim
vex Judah, or Judah Ephraim In this
matter. Let each do the best possible
for humanity In city and state. And
when all have done their best it will
be no more nor better than Is needed.

MAY GO 70 POWER'S FIELD
THOUGH HE HAS PROPER1 \
A stranger in a strange city with an
estate consisting of a lot of land and
cattle, Harry Browning Simmonds now
lies near death in the Presbyterian
hospital, and unless his mind clears
before he dies, he will probably be bur
led in a pauper's grave.
His case is a singular one. He has
money and yet his mind Is in such n
condition that he can not tell where his
property is. He tries to tell who has
his prop*
property in charge. He murmurs
name, then sinks back on his pillow
and after that his mind wanders.
A few weeks ago Simmonds—he Is SO
years of age—came to Atlanta for his
nealthvfrom Savannah. He had some
money.'whtch was soon exhausted, and
he became 111. His case came to the
attention of the Aesoclated Charities
and an effort was made to find a
daughter he said he had living near
Thomasvllle. This attempt failed.

“The Gingerbread Man.”
question that has worried many
theatergoers, was answered Monday
night when tho swinging, rythmic mu-
sic of a few songs seemed strikingly
familiar. For the music of "The Gin
gerbread Man" has been played by the
orchestras during the past Reason until
‘Beautiful I.and of Bon-Bon” and
■John Dough” have almost haunted the
theaters.
"The Gingerbread Alan” Is far from
being the best of musical fantasies of
the season, but it Is far from the worst,
Baldwin Sloane’s music is its greatest
charmi but many of the lines are clever.
There Is no "star," and tho fun Is -di
vided among half a dozen players, none
of whom Is disappointing. Archie
Gunn’s costumes are os pleasing to
tho eye as are the tuneful eongs to the
ear. A feature which attracted thoee
who care more for the music than for
the fun was the use of a solo cornet In
the orchestra. The player, who used
no notes, by the way, and had the score
at his finger tips, lent a most welcome
accompaniment to the songs, and aided
several rather weak voices materially.
The engagement was for ono matinee
and night only, and closed the regular,
season at the Grand. G. D. G.
Pastime Palace Theater,
A crowded house at each repetition
