Poor Carlotta.

While these lines are running into type Cai'1otta, the unhappy widow of Emper- or Maximilion. is either dying or dead. Her life history is the saIddest romance of this generation. She was the daugh- ter of Leopold, the king of Belgium, and she was married in her girlhood to Maxi milan. the brother of the emperor of Austria.
 In 1864 the young couple accepted the throne of Mexico, which had been offer. ed them by one of the political parties in that country. They went to Mexico and established an empire that lasted about threia years
 Maximilian desired the good of his people and the empress was their friend and benefactress, but the majority of the Maxicans joined Juarez and fought the new government At that time the United States was too busily engaged in its own civil war to regulate matters across the Rio Grande, but after Lees surrender the federal government gave notice that it would side with the Mexi- cans against the empire
 When this became known Louis Na- poleon decided to withdraw Bazaine and his troops, who had been supporting Maximilian. As this meant certain dis aster, Cariotta went to Paris to plead with the French emperor Napoleon firm n ia lost her reason, and has remained in that condition most of the time for the past thirty years. Juarsz grew stronger, and finally an act of treachery placed Maximilian in his hands. The defeated ruler was tried by court martial and shot with two of his faithful genera s, Mejia and Miramon
 Poor Carlotta knew nothing of his falte for years-not until she had a brief interval of sanity. For thirty years she has lived in royal state in an Austrian castle, attended by the devoted ladies of a1er suite, and she has wanted for noth- ing that wealth and loving care could give her.
 And now the final act in the tragedy is rapidly closing. The curtain falls up- on a pathetic scene never surpassed in any drama that ever held the stage. Two royal lives were wrecked by that delu- sive Mexican venture, and the bullets that pierced the bosom of Maximilian at Queretaro found their way to the heart of the loyal wife who even then had plunged into the valley of death.
 It is the saddest of all histories, and win be the theme of a thousand songs and stories.

power to control politics and business.
 Newspaper writers win have to please the trusts, or they win be barred out of employment everywhere fin FLis country. A newspaper outside of the trust VII soon have Is business destroyed by the combine. Such a trust will be a great evil, but 1t Is coming. Fortunately this is country of rapid changes, and noth- ing lasts long The trusts will have 1t all their own way until ehey reach certain point, and then they will go to pieces.
 It will be well to keep an eye on Harnnsworti. dis methods will be m- f,ated here, and the day VIII come when htg newspaper combine, with headquarters in New York; will make lsself felt in the local affairs of every state in the union. But that day is not yet here, and in the meantime the free press should put in it's work and e1u- cate the people for the coming strug- gle against the monopolists who are trying to absorb and control every in- terest, great or small.

The People Like It.

From the Union Springs Herald.
 It really does one good these days to take up The Age-Herald and read it read 1t through For so long a time the Alabama papers, weekly and daily, especially the larger dailies, paid but little attention, edisorially, to anything but political topics and, even though we were not near political campaign, they kept up this political agitation until the readers grew weary of 1t, and aonged for a rest. They longed for a newspaper that would treat on other subjects, and some of them even sub scribed for papers in other states, so as to be relieved of this Alabama politi- cal reading The old State Herald was among those that carsd but little for things not political, but when MT. E. W. Barrett purchased the paper and took charge, no campaign being then on. he has kept the paper from politics, and keeping in line with what he an- nounced at the beginning that, this is not the time for politics. He is conduct ing the paper in such a way that the people like 1t, and when the campaign does open The Age-Herald will be power in the political field

A Newspaper Trust.

Alfred c. Harmsworth is the name of young man who owns the London Daily Mail and thirty other newspapers and periodicals, daily, weekly and mon, hly. A few years ago Harmsworth was a re- porter. He had a Napoleonic genius for leadership, and in some manner not un- derstood on this side of the water he made money rapidly and became great newspaper proprietor and manager
 He is the best journalist in England and is a power in the land, though he is still under 35. His remarkable success, he thinks, is due to the fact that he seems to have an intuitive knowledge of what people want to read, and, knowing this, he has always set himself to work to supply the demand. The rise of this journalist and his control of so many papers suggests che ddea that We may soon expect to see a newspaper trust in this country where there are so many combines and monopolies. There may be one or more such trusts. They will be leagued with certain press associations and paper mills, and 1t will be in their

The Great War Record.

In 1880 the first volume of the official war records of the federal and confed- crate armies was priri>ed-a book of 1,065 pages--and in every year afterward about seven volumes were added. until the end of the series was reached. The mammoth record consists of Ill volumes, covering all movements and details from she greatest to the smallest of the two armies. An atlas of ITS plates is includ- ed in the series. These plates are maps of various battlefields. No other gov- ernmenu has put its war records so promptly and comprehensively in print
 The originals are now comparatively
 unirnportant, and will doubtless be per-
 mftted to rest under the dust of time; for when every public library contains a printed copy, no one will go to the trouble of unearthing the war-made doc ument itself.
 Three minor series are to follow. One
 will relate to prisoners of war, and the
 other two to transactions between the
 two governments and their respective SJdtd dutHOIltieS TWO VOluHeS or Une
 first series are in type, and six more volumes are to be printed. The volumes of uhe second and third series will in- terest many people. At present it is estimated that ahe confederate papers
 of these two series will fill four vol
 umes; the federal papers ten volumes. The volumes would in that case stand as follows:
 Records of the armies... e. .111 Prisoners of war;. ... ... ... e. ... s | Transactions with the states .. ..... II Iopal... % ss. ......loS | AS the volumes are nearly uniform in
 size, each containing 1,065 pages, the to-
 tai number of pages would be 152.29 There is no reason to believe that par Itiality has been shown in the prepara- tion and printing of the historical doc uments, and the people of the south will doubtless often have occasion to appeal to the printed records. The documents
 of the revolution and of the war of 1912 are also to be put into type; and pro-
 vision should be made by congress for

Until the bactereotogists have accur- ately described the microbe that is con= stsnt and peculiar to dengue, and also the on7 that goes with yellow fever, it may not be possible to convince all that the two levers have no relation to each other. So far as we know the microbe of dengue has not been idsntlfed; Profs Sautanelli, of Moptevideo, claims the discovery of the yellow fever microbe. The outward and historic evid snce is however, strong enough to prove dis similarity. It may be thus summed up:
 1. Dengue came from East Africa or India; yellow fever has never occurred in either secion.
 2. An attack of either affords no pro- lection against the other.
 8. One may have dengue many times; as e ruls one can have yellow fever but once, however much he may desire an- other round of it.
 4. Dengue is rarely fatal; yellow fe- yer is highly fatal
 5. The cataarhal, rheumatic and erup- tive sympsoms of dengue are unknown in yellow fever. Dengue is often called, on account of its pecu1iarities, "break- bone feyer" and "eruptiye rheumatic f.ver"
 6. Yellow fever was brought to this country in 1e6S; dengue was first inn ported in 1928.
 And malarial fever seems to be equal ly distinct; for 1t has nothing in com mon with yellow fever. We need not go over the points of difference, it being sufficient to state that quinine utterly lacks power in yellow fevsr cases, while it readily masters malarial fever. The books contain no evidence that either 'breakbone' or malarial fever leads on to yellow fever. The last named is plainly a specific disease, as cholera. or the plague is; and in the present visi- tation, when the evidence is all in, it will doubtless be seen that th- peculiar microbe of yellow fever was carried In some way from Ship Island to Ocean Springs, where it obtained limited focthold, while dengue was doing it's b5st in epidemic form.

It is a noticeable fact that few if any of Vhe republicans and gold democra tic subsidized papers have had word of criticism of the cowardly Pennsylvan' a sheriff. who murdered laboring peop-e because they are demanding high CT wages. The facts show that eleven of the miners were shot in the back while running away from the shsr- if and his murderous deputies, who were in the pay of the coal operators. If shooting man in the back who is un- armed and fleeing from danger is mot murder, what in Gods name is it. The subsidized newspapers are true to the trusts they so faithfully serve. They are buclsed and gagged into silence.

THE POSTER-GIRL.
(After "The Blessed Damoze,. |,

(After "The Blessed Damozel.") The blessed Poster-girl leaned out From a pinky-purple heaven, One eye was red and one was green; ! Her bang was cut uneven; She had three fingers on her hand, And the hairs on her head were seven. Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem, No sunfiowers did adorn; But heavy Turkish portiere
 Was very neatly worn; And the hat that lay along her back Was yellow like canned corn. It was a kind of wobbly wave
 That she was standing on, And high aloft she flung a scarf That must have weighed a ton; And she was rather tall-at least She reached up to the sun. She curved and wrlthed, and then she said, Less green of speech than blue: Perhaps I am absurd--perhaps
 I don't apepal to you But my. artistic worth depends
 Upon the point of view. I saw her smile, although her eyes Were only srnugy smears: And then she swished her Swirling arms, And wagged her gorgeous ears. She sobbed blue-and-grcen-checke sob, And wept some purple tears.

Her little 6-year-old brother, who was playing near by, saw the hook in her eye, an1 becom- ing excited, jerked 1t out, tearing the lower lid about a quarter of an inch before Mrs. Strict could reach her.
