what will happen in the show business,
there has never been a time during the
past decade when the outlook was
brighter than at present. Naturally,
much will depend upon the class OF
offerings made by the few men who
practically control the best theatres,
but it is probable that there will be
very few really meritorious entertain
ments, whether they be under syndicate
or Independent auspices, that will not
meet with a fair measure of success.
What the cause is l do not pretend to
say, but it is nevertheless a fact that
almost every business manager and adj
ance agent who runs into town for a
few days reports that the patronage Of
theatres is better than for a long time
past. There are naturally some houses
which even now do not pay, but ever
these are doing much better than they
have ever done before.
The only method by which a line
may be drawn upon the outlook is
through comparison. Many an attrac-
kion came in last season for no other
reason than that it was backed by in
adequate capital and when a very small
deficit was found every week there was
no alternative but to give up. In
most cases those same productions,
playing the same houses this season.
would be showing a small profit, if the
average proportion Of increase in re-
ceipts were maintained with reference
to them.
If, however, it is desired to fnd out
the real condition of the country from a
theatrical standpoint, the people to talk
to are the small managers, the men Who
gun attractions at a total weekly ex-
pense of from $500 to $1,000. These
fellows get to the pulse of the real
people. They have no exceptionally
strong attractions and they cannot, as
a rule, afford to eXpend fortunes in
allurfng and deceptive paper, by means
OF which it is sometimes possible to
carry a bad one-night-stand show along

THE SITUATION
At ALABAMA CITY
Seventeen Cases Reported Gen.

Gadsden, December 16-GSpecial)-State
Health Officer Sanders was here today, and
stated that there was certainly smallpox
at Alabama City, two and a half miles
from Gadsden. There are now seventeen
mild developed cases, but there have been
no deaths.
A mass meeting was held here of the mu-
tnicipal authorities of Gadsden, Alabama
City, Alfalfa and the county officers. The
working of the state board of health was
explained by DIR. Sanders.
= 1t was decided that the authorities of
Etowah county at once establish rigid
quarantine around Alabama City, which
is now in full force and effect. Men have
been placed on every train and dirt road
running from and through Alabama City,
and it is now impossible to get out

and the people are not excited, but are be-
ing vaccinated by the hundreds. The de-
tention camp and pest house of Alabama

USED A RAZOR
Negro Girl Severely Cut by a Jealous
AM Zon

About 7:3O o'clock last night Druc'lla
Brown, a negro girl about 20 years of age,
was terribly sashed with a razor in the
hands of Annie Gentry, another woman.
The cutting occurred in an Italian restaur-
ant at the corner of Twentieth street and
Avenue B.
1t seems that Drucilla was talking to
negro man in the place and the woman who
cut her didn't like it, the old story of
jealousy. Drucilla says that Annie sent a
negro man for razor, and that when she
got the weapon she sauntered toward her
in careless way. She Orucilla) was talk
ing to her aunt and had her head turned
aside Suddenly she felt something sharp
against her neck and before she knew 1t
she was cut. According to her version of
the matter, after she saw the other woman
with the uplifted razor in her hands, she
grappled with her and was cut twice again.
Both of the women were carried to the po-
lice station and DR.. Mason, colored, sewed
I'D the wounds of the injured woman. The
wound in the neck came within one-eighth
of an inch of reaching the jugular VEIN
There were two cuts on her left arm and
one about four inches in the back.

BRAKEMAN KILLED
Knocked Down by Cars at Bessemer
and Died from Injuries

Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock, while
helping to make up a freight train at the
crossing at Bessemer, VIII Avery, a col
ored brakeman, was knocked down by an
engine backing a freight car against him,
and so severely injured that he died at
O'Clock at Wilson and Browns infirmary in
this city. Avery lived at Brookwood, about
forty-five miles from here on the Louis
Vile and Nashville road, and was about
81 years old.
1t seems that somehow the other brake
man did not see him, and must have given
the engine a signal to back, and when it
did SO it pushed a car with force against
Avery. The body was removed to the I'M
dertaking rooms of the Warner Smiley
company in this city and prepared for
burial

Why Prospectors Sell Mines

"Why do you want to sell your mine
or prospect if it is so good a thing as
you seem to think? Why don't you
keep it if, as YOU say, the possession OF
of a few thousand. would make it so
valuable, and raise the money!" are
questions often asked the mine claim
owner.I 1t may, in return, be asked why
does any one, anywhere, want to sell
anything that he owns.
1t at once raises the other question,
why does n me anywhere. wish to
buy anything? Things are mostly
bought and sold for convenience and
profit. hy does "A farmer want to sell
his farm why should any one buy it;
why should a city resident want to sell
his lot or his house; why does any one
wish to buy such a piece OF property? All
these ''whys' sound silly-as silly as
the oft asked question OF the prospector.
AS well might the foundrymen ask him
from whom he buys his pig iron, "Why
do YOU want to sell this raw ma terial?
why don't you yourself make castings of
it?" AS well might the miner ask the
maker of machinery, "Why do you want
t, sell this concentration, or hoist, or en-
CINE, or pump; why don't you use and
operate it yourself?'
A prospector or owner OF a mine
wants to sell it for a variety of mott yes
he max lack Casually does) the money
necessary to properly develope the mine
(for mines are made), or he may have
tired of beans, bacon, black coffee and
camp bread, and may want to see and
taste other things or if he has a good
developed property, he may want to sell
it for less thar it is worth in order to
give himself or his family a desired
change. But in any event. it is It in
order to ask or bubble as to the motive
of any woald-be seller OF mines any
more than of anything else. The bust
ness proposition for the buyer is not to
ask the vender. "Why do you want to
sell?" but to ask himself, "Why do l
want to buy?" All this as to the actual
mine owner. AS to the promoter, the
