ENDS CAREER AT THIRTY.
Millionaire Rhoads Has Worked Him.
 self Into Sanatorium.

Pittsburg Dispatch in Philadelphia Press.
 The immense iron and steel interests of J. Walter Rhoads were today sold out here and the collapse Of another famous young millionaire under the dual strain of amassing more millions andl keeping up the social race at the same time has been recorded
 With fully $S,0O0,0O0 in his own name, and being one of two heirs to an estate of s1O,O0O, 900, J, Walter Rhoads at the early age of 90 years is reported physi- cal wreck, and at the orders of his physi- clans is retiring into sanatorium for at least one year. He seems condemned to pass the remainder of his life spending his millions. This news was brought out here by the announced closing of $2,- 100000 deal through Edwin N. Ohl, vice president of the Cherry Valley Iron com pany, whereby the interests of J. Walter Rhoads and his brother, William Baggal- ley Rhoads, were taken over by syndi- cate, the personnel of which has not been made public. All papers in the case were signed today.
 The Rhoads boys mentioned in the deal
 
 are the only children of Joshua Rhoads, the famous multi-milionaire octogen- arian, who was head of the Pennsylvania Tube company until the time the United States Steel corporation absorbed it, and he still retains an active interest in the workings of this immense plant, as well as being identified with the leading banks and trust companies of Pttsburg.
 The collapse of J. Walter Rhoads has caused a great sensation in Pittsburg. and will be sad news in eastern, cities, where he was a well-known clubman Un- like other young men of wealth who have collapsed here under dissipation. young MT. Rhoads has gone down through sheer overwork. He is known as of the city's bright and temperate young men, one who spent ten hours day in the of- flee, mastering the great problems in iron and steel, which, solved by his father. made him one of the lights in the iron and steel world.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
The Cotton Crop.

l.. s. Goldstein. representing Herman & Wolf, cotton brokers of New Orleans. is at the Hillman. He has just completed an itinerary of the cotton belt With re- gard to the condition of the fields and the prospects for this years crop he said: While the recent frost, coming as it did several weeks earlier than the av- craze date has undoubtedly done some damage ana spoiled to a certain extent prospects that looked unusually brilliant yet l believe that the reports of damage have been considerably exaggerated. and that large crop will be made. The ideal weather experienced during the last week has wrought a noticeable Improvement, and the farmers have taken advantage of it in rapidly gathering the crops.
 T expect to see a very large move ment In the near future, and think bulls will find 1t a difficult task to fight the weight of tho actual stuff, especially as there is great amount of low grade cotton which will doubtless be rendered on contracts in New York I think the farm CTS will do well to take advantage of present prices.'

Page on Good Roads.

l.. M. Page of the good roads depart ment at Washington, was very much interested in the roads in Jefferson coun- ty and the materials used in roadbuild- ing said Secretary Rountree of the North Alabama Good Roads association. yesterday
 MT. Pare was here to attend the an- nual meeting of the association and stayed over 8 day or two to look over the roads of the county and also to ln- spect the materials used in building roads.
 MT, Page is one of the most expert road men in the world, having studied especially for that line of work He was educated in American universities and afterwards took a special course in the study of roadbuilding in Germany and France.
 He Is at the head of one of the most important departments of the govern ment and yet 1t is one that has been but little appreciated. But since the people in all sections of the county are waking up to the importance of better roads, the department will be more valuable.
 MT. Page believes that the federal government wall at an early date take up the matter of building better roads In the rural districts, but 1t will be in connection with the rural free delivery system. The establishment of mail routes over road in a sense makes that road a government highway and through this channel MT. Page believes that the gov ernment will be forced to appropriate funds for roadbuilding."

pretty evenly distributed, thus show ing that prosperity and rising values prevail In all sections of the state. The richer counties are richer, and tho poorer counties are coming on. The only exceptions are Morgan and Frank lin. Morgan chiefly consists of rich lands in the Tennessee valley, the value of which are rapidly increasing It has excellent transportation facili. ties. Franklin contains rich beds of iron ore, and the new line of the Illt. nois Central will soon bring it within touch with all other railroads. The Southern, too, has branch that passes through the easterly part of the county. It seems therefore incredible that prop erty values are declining in either county, when they are confessedly go' ing up in the other sixty-five counties of the state.
 An investigation by the legislature of the tax lists of the two counties might lead on to some plan of equali- ration in assessed valuations that would do justice to all.

Our Sugar Output.

Last year we made 1,205,717 tons Of sugar. Our cane supplied 342,0O0 tons cur beet fields 2S3,717, while Hawaii sent us 37O,O00 tons, and Porto Rico 210000 tons But these handsome out puts were but three-sevenths of the country's consumption. We imported 1 .643,273 tons. about 50 per cent of which came from Cuba, 25 per cent from the Dutch East Indies, and per cent from the Philippines It will thus be seen that we have a long ways to go before We make our own sugar.
 The beet sugar industry involves tho establishment in every locality of growth of one expensive factory, and the American farmer does not take kindly to the intensive farming re. quired to grow beets with sugar con- tent between 12 and 25 per cent. The natural sugar content of a beet grown under customary cultivation is but 5 ger cent.
 The beet sugar industry Is more than holding its own, but the increase will not soon supply the home deficiency. It is doubtful if it ever will. The American farmer is not the German farmer, and the former cannot sudden ly be transformed into a truck gar Gener. The department of agriculture hopes, however, that the beet sugar output of this year will exceed the home output of cane sugar. He is anticipating production of about 400. 900 tons of beet sugar.
 The shortest road to a home produc tion of home-consumed sugar lies in the annexation of Cuba. This may seem cold-blooded at first sight, but at second sight it appears to be better for both Cuba and ourselves. Cuba could, aided by our own cane brakes and beet fields, just about make us independent in the matter of sugar.

Insurance Elections.

The balloting for new boards of di. rectors for the three big insurance companies in New York has been be. gun, and it will be continued two months under the new law of the state of New York. The Equitable, which IS now controlled by it's policyholders, seems to be conducting it's first cleo tion under the new law fairly and justly. The Morton administration has sent to policyholders ticket, and they are thus placed in a position in which they must take the administra tion ticket or none at all.
 This is not the course that either the Peabody-Harriman administration of the Mutual Life, OF the Orr admin. istration of the New York Life have adopted. Both, it is true, send to policyholders the tickets that have been duly named in accordance with law, but the Peabody crowd are work ing their agents for proxies, and the Orr administration of the New York Life sends out ballot on which the opposition or policyholders' ticket is crossed off. These things have been done at the expense of the policyhold- CTS. The Mutual Life bought at one time over half million of postage stamps.
 Complaint had been made to the state superintendent of insurance a5 Albany, and he now holds that agents must not be improperly employed, and that the money of policyholders can not be used to serve the selfish pur- poses of the "ins."
 The prospect of impartial and sound elections in the three big companies by the policyholders Is not fattering. The interests at stake are immense, and this fact of itself calls out efforts that do not leave the policyholders free to act up to their judgment of the situation. It now looks as if tho "outs" would stay "outs," and this means of course that the 'ins" will continue to manipulate the vast ac- cumulations that came from the pock- cts of policyholders.

New French Ministry.

Premier Sarrien retires ostensiblg because of illhealth, but really no Goubt because the French chamber is about to meet again. All the mem bers of the cabinet seem to be willing 10 retire from office, always excepting the minister of the interior, M. Clem neceau, who is slated to form nev ministry.
 This change means that the govern ment is getting ready for a season of stress and storm. M. Clemenceau is the man of the hour. He has been re, garded as the chief force of the oui~ going ministry, and the radicals looK to him to steer them through the per ills of the coming session of the cham Ter. The questions that will arise under the separation law will be nu merous and trying, and the adoption of an income tax will be resisted. The coming session promises to be one Of excitement and battle, and M. Clemen. ceau is brought to the front to lead the government forces.
 He is a man of the Roosevelt or Will liam III type, a strenuous shirt-sleeyes statesman. He was born for battle, and delights in it. This is why M. Clemenceau is to become premier, and as such he will attempt with all the force and power he can muster t7 press existing questions through the chamber and the senate to or at least towards settlement.

Convictions in Order.

The New York Central railroad and its general traffic manager stand con victed of paying rebates to the sugar trust. thus discriminating between shippers contrary to the Elkins act. The Elkins act has been repealed, or rather outdone by the new rate Dill, hut the Elkins act forbade in it's day rebating. A brief trial was followed by verdict, and either the railroad must pay a heavy fine, or upset the Elkins law in the United States su preme court.
 The conviction of the Standard Oil at Findlay, O., was on a state basis. lt was brought to trial under the Valea' tine antitrust law passed by the Ohio legislature in 1898. The jury stood out ,hirty-three hours, but in the end they found the defendant guilty of conspic- acy to restrain trade. The verdict Will no doubt be appealed from, and doubt less the constitutionality of the Valen- tine act will also be tested in the United States supreme court. The trial of John D. Rockefeller, who has been indicted as a party to the cou- spiracy, will take place speedily. it is eaid raoardlacc of noSsib1a annpa1S in the first case.
 These verdicts will carry great weight and they may operate to frighten men into obedience to law. The new rate bill presents imprison ment as well as fines for the punish ment of wrongdoers, and in the light of the recent verdicts this fact will not be lost sight of. Relating and tha crushing of competition have gone on unchecked because it was believed that evidence could not be procured nor juries impanneled that would con vict. Both have proven fallacious. Evidence was forthcoming sufficient to convince petit juries. Capitalism is no longer above law and justice. It musr come down to the common basis. That is what the two convictions mean, ani the people have won a great deal in the two yerdicts.

IN PRAISE OF LIKENESS.

A Lazy Man in the Duluth News-Tribune.
 You know that many of the best men of this earth are lazy. You see, it is the lazy man that enjoys life. Why? Be- cause he is not doing anything except something which he likes to do. That is the reason so many really lazy people succeed in this world because they con- fine themselves only to such things as they like, and accomplishing things for which they have strong inclination is for them pleasure. A friend of mine told me once that since his childhood he had never had as good time in his life as when he was recovering from typhoid fever and once when he was stuck on a passenger train for thirty-six hours in snow bank out in North Dakota. That is easy enough to explain. On those two oc- casions he did just what he pleased. took life easy, played cards. read congenial books and nad unlimited time for talk ing about his hobbies. This man mad been working at uncongenial pursuits all his life, and if he had just been lazy enough he might have been enjoying himself all his life playing while working at what he really liked.

Lieutenant Hagood's Steed.

Lieutenant Hagood of the police force has new horse,' said a man intimate with that officer. "The animal is about four feet high, with a long, bushy tail and a dropping head. When the officer moupts his steed his feet almost touch the ground, and when his right arm is extended his finger can touch the ani- malls forehead. The other members of the department have laughed considerably over Lieutenant Hagood's horse, but that officer is well pleased.
 ''The animal is young and frsky, and carries the lieutenant about the town in the still hours of the night with a fast but light tread. No sound is heard from the pony's feet, and the police men laughingly declare that the officer can approach without them knowing it.
 ''The pony is the police departments mascot It has received much attention since it's arrival It is the smallest horse, l believe, ever used in police service in any other city,.
