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. DEATH OF ECKELS CAUSES SORROW Chicago, April 16.—With the body of James H.

Q0000000000000000000O00000 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. ' M. M. DAVIES. CONTINUED STRIFE IN D. A.

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. 0000O000000000000000000000 a 0 a AMATEUR ASTRONOMER O O WITH HOME-MADE GLASS O O DISCOVERS NEW COMET.

THEATERS KJ “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.
