New German Steamship Line to tne Gall ol Persia. Consul-General Pitcairn writes from Hamburg that the proposed new lino of steamships of the Hamburg-American Company be tween European ports and ports of the Gulf of Persia promises favorable results, particularly in connection with the Bagdad Rail way. The maritime trade with Per sia has for years been controlled by British shipowners, by means of pool arrangements, and sail ings were restricted according to-ibe demand, and freight rates increased arbitrarily. A steam ship line between Russian ports and the Gulf of Persia, estab lished a few years ago by the Russian Steamship and Trading Company, found favorable pat ronage on the part of interested commercial firms because of its low freight rates, although annu ally only four or five steamers were dispatched, whereas the I British companies maintain monthly service. During the Russo-Japanese war, however, the service of the Russian com pany was discontinued. The exports from Germany to the Gulf of Persia have steadily increased in recent years. The chief articles of exportation to Persia are sugar, cotton and half-silk goods, dyestuffs, copper and iron goods, drugs and chemi cals, whereas principally wool, galls, gum, tragacanth and Arab ic, dates, mother-of-pearl shells, sheep and goat skins, boxwood, sesime and other seeds are ex ported from Persia. The value of the annual imports of Persia via Bagdad is estimated as amounting to more than seven and a half million dollars; the value of the imports fluctuates according to the conditions of the crops, but in favorable years almost reaches that of the ex ports. The average annual value of exports to Persia via Hamburg for the five last years amounted approximately to $113,000; that of the imports $121,000. Exports of cotton-woven goods and drugs to Persia are expected to greatly increase. The new steamship line will not receive any subsidy. LUMBER BRIDGE NEWS. Correspondence The Robcsoninn.

Work ol Methodist Conference Birmingham Ag Herald The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says the Birmingham Conference will be remembered in the annals of the neriod. It certainly will L be, for it dealt with great sub jects, and at all points the Church South has been found to be pro crressive and free from an iron rz dogmatism. This was shown in the resolu tions adopted looking to a closer union between the Church South and the Northern Church. The Conference refused to take any steps looking to organic union, but it did not hesitate to endorse all propositions that would elimi nate uncalled for antagonisms and that would carry out the fed eration already agreed upon. The Church South also goes on record as favoring a revision of the doctrinal faith of world-wide methodism; or, at least, taking ur the o uestion of revision. The l a. Conference that has just ad journed, started a movement that mav vet ero on until it is felt m - every part of the civilized worm. It may result in other words, in anew statement oi we common faith that would affect and con trol Methodism in all countries. Scarcely less important was the work done in relation to Van- berbilt University' Heretofore that great school has asserted in dependent control, and it had taken steps to secure a new char tor on independent lines. The General Conference asserted its rights, and hereafter, the Bish ops will have full charge of the institution and the policy and doctrines of the Church South will be dominant within its walls. The battle was fought in the committee of education, and not on the floor of the Conference, but it was a battle an important battle nevertheless. Hereafter Vanderbilt University will be a Church institution owned and controlled by the Southern Church. Action on these three matters fully justify the St- Louis Globe Democrat in declaring the Birm ingham Conference one of the most notable that has been held since the split occurred in Methodism in 1844. Reflections of a Bachelor. When 'a girl gets the fad of taking exercise, either she is trying to walk off flesh or walk it on. A man isn't half as anxious to try his hand at speculation as those who run the game are to have him. A mother seems to think it's a horrible reflection on herself if her daughter doesn't get mar ried before she is twenty-two. When a New York man gives his seat to a woman in a street car it's a sign she is suspicious he wants to flirt with her.
