corner of Fifteenth nnd McDonough
Street, Hourly Yesterday morning, sho
discovered about a pound of Paris green

HAVE UNIFORM CHARGES
All Virginia Roads May Have
Same Rates and Classi?
fication.
Tho Stato Corporation Commission has
Ifisued a notice to the Atlantic Coast Line
and other leading ronds In tho State,
fixing a hearing for Ihe 12th of Septem?
ber in tho most important matter yet
undertaken by that body, tho result of
which wilt be awaited by the people of
?ho Stato |Wlth the deepest Interest. In
the paper sent out to bo served on the
railroads, they are notified that on the
llth of September, the commission Will
hear uny objections tho'y may have to a
r.ow uniform, freight classification for use
In Virginia, accompanied by distance
tables and rato sheets, prescribing the
rates on numerous articles. The new pro?
posed classification and distance sheets,
O? frolght tariffs, were printed and
copies woro served with tho notice to tho
railroads.
A reporter yesterday requested Colonel
John S. Harwood to give his views on the
subject of the proposed new classification
ond rates, which he consented to do, Col?
onel Harwood has long been ? promi?
nent and active member In the Traveler?'
Protective Association, ono of tho largest
commercial organizations In the country,
and has been giving considerable atten?
uo nt otraiisportatlon matters.
Colonel Harwood said that the method
of rate making wns but little understood
by tho public at large and Was difficult
of explanation. The 'foundation of the
making of rates was what was known
among railroad men and shippers, as a
c:asslfIcatIon, being an arrangement of the
various classes of freight In groups or
classes, the same freight rate applying
to all .articles In one class. In addition
to this, some leading articles wore taken
rut of tho classification and special rates
applied lo them, known as commodity
? p tes.
Uniform Classification.
He said that there had been In use in
Virginia for many years two such classi?
fications, known as the "ofllclal classifi?
cation," and the "southern classifica?
tion," these - two Classifications, them?
selves, being greatly modified by the
railroads so that it was exceedingly ?
cult for a shlppor, and oftentimes, for the
agent of Ihe railroad ,to find out what
the rate wns on a given article of freight
for a certain distance.
The action proposed by the commis?
sion, if put Into effect, will havo one
Uniform classification of freight, which
must be observed by all the roads, nnd
tc which a shipper can turn, and, with
?tho freight tnrlffs or sheets In his hand,
would bo able to ascertain easily, what
the rate was on any given, article. This
Uniform? classification had been examined
by Colonel Harwood, and ho considered
th? work to have been admirably clone,
embracing, as If' did, some seventy pages
of print.
In addition to th? great usclulness of
this uniform classification, the effect of
It, taken together with the new rates,
would bo to lessen the rates on ? great
many leading articles of shipment, par?
ticularly upon ninny of tho staple neces?
sities of life. The proposed classifica?
tion and rates will be of great benefit
to all the cities of the Commonwealth,
and of no less and, perhaps, of greater
benefit to tho people in the country, In
shipping Iheir produce.
Great Saving to Shippers.
Another matter? to which Colone! Har?
wood called attention was to the rule
contained in the classification, requiring
that all small pa.cknges should be rated
at their actual weight, witli a minimum
charge, allowed to the railroad.-,, of 25
per cent, for any single shipment. Ho
explained thnt, as tho matter now stands,
the railroads consider no package ns
weighing less than one hundred pounds,
so thnt. although it might weigh but
twenty-five pounds, the shipper had to
pny on a weicht of ono hundred pounds.
This would evidently be a great saving to
shippers of small parcels.
On the whole, in Colonel Harwood s
oplnltn, the work done by the commis?
sion wrts, not only admirably done but
,-ilso, In the hiebest degree, commendib)e.
Ho said he did not believe that such a
tnslc had been undertaken and completed,
under tho eireumstn.ncos existing In Vir?
ginia, by anv railroad commission thnt
had been created in any other Shite In
the country. Colonel Harwood mil that.
If the commission had done nothing else
than have compiled this classification |
and rates, it would have .Instilled Us eren- '
tlon and all expense connected with ?B
PxlBtence. IK? snld further that, doubt
loss the railroads would resist, the putting
Into effect of this new system of rates
and 11 might be,, and It probably would
ne, two or three years before the question
was finally settled._

"Our Citizenship is in
Heaven."
HIS REFERENCE TO GRAFT
Some Christians Think World
Beyond Redemption and
Hold Aloof.
Dr. AV. J. Young, paator of Centenary
Methodlsl Eplscopul Church. s|?oke on
Sunday night on the "Heavenly and tho
Earthly Cltzenshlp," taking for his text
Fhll. 3:20, "Our Citizenship Is In Heaven."
lit said, In part, that texts like these are
often spokcincbir as two other-worldly and
not sufllclently practical. The world re
cents the lives of those men who, re?
fusing to enter Into the conflicts and
realities of life, hurry through to another
? orld. The apostle, no more than the
Master, desired to take men out of tho
world, but to give them such a point of
view as. would keep them truo to the
most exalted principles while busy with
tho most material concerns. He would
havo them seo that there Is a spiritual
s'de to life, even to the factory, bank
and" store. Ilo would have them turn
their gaze more fully on those eternal
laws of truth and righteousness by which
all things musi ultimately Du controlled,
Inasmuch as conduct Is threo-fourths of
l'io. He would have them live more In the
atmosphere of the Ideal and to think of
the real things about us as morely prop?
hecies of the better.
There are two posslhlo attitudes towards
this world In its relation to the world
to come. In the one case, tho Christian
looks upon this world as cssotlally and
necessarily evil, Its pleasures, its busl
i.ess, its politics are past redemption, at
least In this age, and under present con?
ditions. The noblest thing, therefore, ho
can do Is to strive to get to heaven, to
save his soul, having meanwhile as little
lo do with the wicked world ns possible.
Less Selfish Attitude. I
The other attitude rather Heeiis to bring'
tho heavenly kingdom down to earth, to !
apply heavenly laws and heavenly Ideals J
U? the present world. There is nothing.
particularly noble, but, on tho contrary,!
possibly, something decidedly Bclflsh, In
the ambition to roach the heavenly world,'
li there be nothing more then this. There]
in something sublimely beautiful In the!
life which is soaking to bring tho New j
Jerusalem down to earth oven to-day.
If ono mlfht choose to-night oetween
? slate pf bliss In tho henwemy world
and the placo of a toller in solvine* 'the
many problems looking to tho establish?
ment of ChriBt's kingdom, one might well
choose a humble place In the world's
service, npd nsk the Father to dolny Tils
cull lo tho ?,??? of rest. The dying Earl
of Sbaftesbury, when told ho would soon
be among the angelic hosts, expressed
regret that ho must leave the poor and
tho erring, for whom ho was lolling, for
a state of bliss. Indeed, It would seem
that thero could be no bettor preparation
for the heavenly world than the rt nstnnt
endc.'ivorto make heavenly this present
world.
"Hpt we are told," continued tho speak?
er, "that the effort to make the world
good Is futile, t-ha.t Iho appalling condi?
