sTEPHANIE OF AUSTRIA ILL.
Physicians Have No Hope of Her Ever
 Regaining Her Good Health.

Naples. November 10-The doctors give slight hopes of the Countess Lonvav formerly the Crown Princess Stephanie of Austria. widow of Archduke Rudolph) ever regaining her good health, though her symptoms are not so alarming as some reports make out Her private sec retary in an interview says the countess Is suffering from an illness dating from her first marriage. He denies the re- ports that she Is in financial trouble. and says Emperor Francis Joseph is exceed ingly generous, and while she also re- ceives large allowance from Belgium. the relations between the countess and her father, King Leopold. are in no sense those of a father and daughter. This 0trangement was reflected at the recent meeting of Emperor Francis Joseph and King Leopold when there was not the slightest evidence of real friendship be- tween them. Referring to the family lawsuits bearing on the late Queen Marie Henrietta's estate the secretary declared the countess was too noble hearted to sue her father and she had returned all the citations of the Brussels court call ing upon her to declare her rights to the inheritance

NEW INDUSTRY STARTED.
First Mineral Paint Ever Made Here
 Was Turned Out Yesterday.

The first red mineral paint ever made In Birmingham was turned out yesterday by the Imperial Paint works, situated on Tenth avenue, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, Northside. The new plant Is operated by Baker, Stillwell & Hart, three young business men of Bir- mingham, and 1t promises to inaugurate an important industry in this district
 new market for red hematite ores has been opened here by the successful manufacture of mineral paints, which will no doubt in a few years prove of great importance. Just now there is only one other plant for making this paint in the south, although it is in great de- mand.
 When running full time the Imperial Paint works will turn out ten tons of paint every ten hours, working both night and day. The plant is completely equipped with up-to-date machinery and in a very short time will become one of Birminghams leading industries. By having an abundance of red hematite ore near at hand in the hills of Jefferson county the firms business will be greatly facilitated and they consider their future prospects unusually bright.

MERCHANTS DESIRE
 EXCURSION RATES An Enthusiastic Meeting Was
 Held Last Night A LARGE NUMBER PRESENT The Methods of Other Cities Discussed and Plan to Induce Outsiders to
 Trade In Birmingham Is
 Under Consideration.
A LARGE NUMBER PRESENT

The Merchants Exchange held its regular monthly meeting last night at the board of trade room in the Tomlin- son. building and discussed the matter of excursions into Birmingham.
 A large number of merchants were present. President D. M. Drennen pre- sided After the meeting which was held in executive sesion, it was stated by Sec retary W. T, Cox that the only matter of public interest which was discussed was excursions over the railroads enter ing Birmingham.
 Data Collected.
 Since the last meeting of the exchange. when this matter was informally discuss ed, a great deal of data has been col Iected which was heard and commented on last night From information recelv- ed from Indianapolis the plan which has been adopted by the Board of Trade in that city was most favorably received.
 Sol Caheen said the railroads ran perl odical excursions into the city of 1ndi- annapolis and the merchants there paid the return fare of the patrons, whose trade Justified it. A similar plan to be adopted by the Birmingham merchants was discussed and will probably be acted upon if the railroads will agree to run the excursions
 Several of the merchants it was said. expressed themselves as believing that each railroad ought to run a cheap ex- cursion into the city once month. The railroads, they contended, brought an immense amount of freight into Bir- mingham and In view of this fact they believed they would not have any diff culty in inducing the railroads to inau- gurate regular excursions.
 On a motion by Ferd Marx, seconded by Sol Caheen. the chairman is to ap- point committee of not less than three or more than five to approach every railroad running into Birmingham and endeavor to have these cheap excursions inaugurated at the earliest possible mo- ment.
 Could Do Much Good.
 After the meeting M. V. Joseph stated that he believed the Merchants Ex- change could do much good by concen- trated effort.
 ''The merchants" Mir. Joseph said, had organized with the specific intention of furthering the interests of the retail trade of Birmingham, and all the influ- ence they had would be used to this end Their motive is not a selfish one, for by promoting their own interest they benefit every one else in the community"
 The large crowds brought to Birming- ham during the reunion were commented on by various merchants and was consid- cred an complication of the fact that if cheap rates are offered to outsiders they will take advantage of them.
 The committee on excursions will prob ably be appointed today.
 The next regular meeting of the Mer- chants Exchange will be on the second Tuesday in December
