steady lucres so In husluess. In the bulk
of the properties, particularly among the
railroads, it Is regarded as unlikely that
there will be dividend Increases. Pennsyl

dividend of the Union Pacific U regardet

as did the Union Pacific.
"The sale of the Baltimore and Ohio

target Bothering of the Kind ever held from * to I o'clock.
In the South.
It Is estimated that there will be
between 330 and 500 bishops, elergy and
lay delegates In attendance. But these
do not, by any means, complete the list.
It Is more than probable that each
church of the department, which In
cludes South Carolina, Georgia, Flori
da, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Cuba and Puerto Blco, will send more
members of the tatty. Just as visitors
or as general delegates, than It will
send full delegates.
One of the problems that the com
mittee had to solve was the finding of
halls large enough to hold with com
fort the enormous gatherings at the
various sessions. But this has been
satisfactorily gplved. There will be
meetings In Trinity and Good Shep
herd churches, In Craven Hall and In
the opera house.
The people of Columbia have, os Is
customary with them, responded fully
and generously to the call at the com
mittee to help entertain the delegates.
The large number of bishops and of
I other men of the greatest prominence
[ In the Episcopal church will serve to
make this conference distinctive and
memorable. As there are to lc such n
number of bishops present, the com
mittee has arrangod for a special bish
ops’ session, which will be of unusunl
interest, as each bishop will give a brief
survey of his diocese and its needs and
opportunities.
Tho program for today Is a* follows:
Tuesday, November 6.
Opening service In Trinity church.
Short address of welcome by the bishop
of the diocese and addresses upon:
(a) “The American Episcopal Church
and Its Place In the Life of the Na
tion.” Speaker, the Rev. C. B. Wllmer,
D. D., rector of St. Lukes church, At
lanta, Ga.
(b) ’’The American Episcopal Church
and Its Present and Future Work for
the Nation.” Speaker, the RL Rev. C.
K. Nelton, D. D., bishop of Georgia.
(Speakers limited to twenty-flvo min
utes.) ,
Good cheer and fellowship abounded
Monday night at the annual meeting
and banquet of the Transportation
Club. The well kept rooms of the club
nev.er looked better than Monday night
when myriads of lights nnd the profu
sion of roses gave the rooms a home
like appearance to the members and
their guests.
In reviewing the work of the year.
President John 1* Word spoke feel
ingly on the death of a number of
members, the only happening to mar a
story of continued success. Mr. Word
stated the new quarters and the splen
did furnishings of the rooms have been
conducive to Increasing the member
ship.
Secretary and Treasurer Healy stat
ed that had h*en deposited In
the bank, although a like sum had been
expended for the thorough equipping of
the rooms. . According to the secre
tary’s report, 130 new members have
been received lit tin
The
new library and tho ladle
have proved popular additions. The
courtesy nnd efficiency of Superintend
ent Paul W. Spink, according to Mr.
Healy, has contributed greatly to the
success of the post year.
Feast of Good Things.
Following the business meeting, the
members and their guests adjourned
to the banquet hall, where a sumptuous
repeat awaited their attention. One
hundred nnd seventy-five members nnd
friends discussed the menu until a late
hour while Wurm’s orchestra furnished
a muslcnl program.
After a thorough discussion of the
good tilings. Toastmaster E. P. Burns
called on the speakers of the night.
Among those who responded were the
retiring president, John Word. L. P.

Miss Morris was released from the

there will be no effort made to prose

The mother is anxious lo obtain pos

People still like 8o see enacted on a
miniature prairie in front of a canvas
grandstand the hair-raising episodes
which have found another outlet hi
the novels of the "Ollle, the Outlaw."
or "The Man With the Silver Wind
pipe” vprlety.
The slxe of the crowd, which wit
nessed both performances of the wild
West show, presented by PaWnee Bill
In Atlanta Monday, left no room for
doubting th, popularity of the be-p|s-
toled, broncho-bustin’ llfo of the plains
earlier days—the waving wheat-
fields of the present.
The sterotyped "thousands were
turned away” phrase of the press agent
found itself In real life, for both In the
afternoon and the evening enough peo
ple were disappointed by being unable
to gain entrance to have made a very
respectably slsed audience themselves.
And on the Inside, besides having
every seat filled, probably 8,000 people
stood up or sat cross-legged, powwow
fashion, around the ropes of the arena.
Major Gordon W.’Lillie (that's Pawnes
Bill's civilised name) took In much
wampum in Atlanta.
The performance deserved the
crowds. It was a good show. If the
exhibition had been stripped of every
thing else—Its several shim battles'
between Indians and cowboys, crack
shooting, acrobatic stunts, the buffalo
hunt and the like—the expert horse
manship of some of the show people
would have been worth whll* In itself.
The show was all right, but the
crowd was too big and tho smoke too
thick for trie comfort of some of the
audience. '

INTERESTED OLD DARKEY
One of the most Interested specta
tors at the Wild Wist parade yester
day was an old darkey accompanied by
a bevy of "chllluns." He carefully
scrutlnlied the representative! of the

then told the children v.;.o the ridere
were.
"Doee am Mexicans.” said the old
fellow, es a squad of Cossacks passed,
"c.nd dene fer sure am Krabs,” said the
children's guide a* a number of Fili
pinos rode along.
When a band of Arabe passed, the
old darkey looked at them for a mo
ment, and, then, scratching his head,
said:
"Alt ain’t quite euro des who dey la,
but Ah reckon dey Is Malnrlans.”
Tho listener did not welt to hear
what the next equad might be. fearing
the "darkey" would swear they were
consumptives.
