BIO of their descendants He found that fifty-three children were born dead: 121 died in their earliest infancy; generally of convulsions. There were thirty eight cases of physical debility, sixty-flve of tuberculosis and 145 of mental alienation. This gave a total of 412 cases of absolute death or de- generacy, he says, due to alcohol, or more than 50 per cent.
 From 1885 to 1889 in the department of lhe Seine-virtually Paris-the off, hcial figures of the octroi or local cus- toms show that the consumption of absinthe almost trebled: 1t was 10,755 hecto1itres or about 2s0. 900 gallons in the former year and 31,506 hectolitres or about S35. .0o0 gallons in the latter year.
 In 1905 this latter figure was doubled, and the consumption Is still on the in crease. The statisticians figure that every Frenchman in the country drinks 100 litres of actual alcohol, or some thing over 100 quarts each year The present consumption of absinthe for the entire country is about S0,000, 900 quarts a year. The number of persons whose premature death 1t causes Is set down at 50,00O. The enormous financial loss to the country Is arrived at by adding to the cost of the liquor the wages for feited by the idleness 1t occasions and an insurance appraisal of 4.000 francs or $S60 for evry life that 1t cuts short

HARD PROGRAM
MEN HAVE THEIR
 WORK CUT OUT.
Four Games will Be Played This Week, Two in GulfpOrt and
 Two in Mo- bile

Malarky's people will have nothing to do but to work out among them selves today and tomorrow-and they will need every ounce of the work, for beginning Wednesday they have five stifflsh games staring them in the face Four of these games are on foreign territory while the fifth though at home will be the fiercest proposition that they will be called on to go up against.
 Tomorrow night MaIarky will get off with the bunch on the 8 D. m southbound Louisville and Nashville train. going straight to Gulfport, where Wednesday and Thursday they play Bob Gilks's aggregation of Cotton Stat CTS in that town. Bob has a pretty fast outfit on paper, most of his men being old Southern Leaguers that are we'll known to local fans
 He was to have brought his team to Montgomery and played here today and tomorrow, but circumstances were such that he was unable to do so. In a let ter received from him he says: My team is very slow to report and sew eral of them have alreay wired excuses Jack Bolin says that he will not come back here-several clubs have already been after him but he will have to play here or no place. 1 have another. Swann in Bryant little left handed pitcher, and will have very fast team when I get them all together, which I think l will do by Monday the 25th l expect to make you folks go some to win-Link Stickney, Bird and Ma hush look good to me for an outfield. Link has been working out with New Orleans and is in fine shape, besides this have number of good young sters."
 After the games in Gulfport Wed nesday and Thursday. Malarky jumps over to Mobile where he plays Mo Gays team a couple of return games Friday and Saturday. Saturday night the team comes home, spending Easter Sunday quietly here, and on Monday York Giants. this being the only big League team that they will play Then there will be three more of days, Perry Lipes' Macon South Atlantic outht playing here Friday and Saturday, April 5th and 9th.
 Then after two more days rest the team leaves Tuesday night for Allan ta, where they open the Southern League season Wednesday, April 10th, with Billy Smiths crowd-the flag will have fallen then for the race that will end on the 18th of next September.

Coal and Coke.


 With an improvement in the railroad situation in the coal fields brings about an increase in the coal production in the state. The Louisville and Nashville railroad is giving the best service in the Alabama coal fields right now though every demand for cars at mines worked by that system is not being met. The Frisco, Southern Railway and other lines are experiencing considera- bIe trouble in not only furnishing emp- ty cars but in moving the same after they have been loaded at the mines. There is demand for every ton of coal that can be mined in the state and the present indications are that the coal mines will be given opportunity to operate through the entire year.
 The Alabama Fuel Company, H F. DeBardelaben, vice president and gem eral manager, reports a daily produc- ton now of about one thousand tons and six mines being opened. The Pratt Consolidated Coal Company is making preparations to work the swenty-sev- en mines recently opened in the wes- tern part of Jefferson county on a large scale. The Louisville and Nash vile railroad has put on a regular train service on the Black Creek ex- tension reaching those mines.
 Extensive deals are reported as hay ing been consummated lately in Ala bama coal lands or about to be con summated, The purchaser of several thousand acres of coal lands from the University of Alabama by the Adlers of Birmingham; the purchase of six hum dred acres of coal lands in TuscaIoosa from Friedman and Rosenau at the rate of $10 per acre are but few of the deals mentioned lately.

VAUGHN IS PLEASED
BIRMINGHAM MANAGER GETTING
 A LINE ON HIS TEAM.
PhiiadeIphian~ VIII Play at the slag- pile This Wcek---No Dfssensians to Mar Prospects of
 suecesi.

Birmingham, March 24.--(speciai. ) The practice games with big league teams Is bringing the Birmingham Southern League team into shape for the approaching season
 The games during. the past week with the Chicago Cubs gave Manager Vaughan a little insight as to the con- what might be expected of them dur ing the regular season. All of the men. of course, are stiff, but their ponts Were of as os The fans who are good judges, appear to be sat isfied that there is but little weak ness to be noticed and the management by an enthusiastic one, If the pitch ing staff shows up well, there is no de. .nying the fact that Birmingham will AT sss of tns snSsoa faSS anS ssmss for this city between now and the opening of the regular season prom ise to be well attended The coming of the PhiIadelphfas this week, com mencing Tuesday. is of interest to the fans.
 Manager Vaughan is still abstaining so boasting nsn about a the A team. " He He Is wise. however. as far as to make reply that the team will make an effort to win the pennant again A close friend or Manager Vaughan Is authority for the statement that the old man Is anxious to win the pennant again as he Is get ! ting we'll up in years in the game and must show himself as a good picker of players and management for he can not look to any other part of the game This friend says that Vaughan is watching the players closely on the diamond and will call them for every thing possible. He does not expect them to be rounding out into mid summer form right now but he does look for a good showing even this early in the year. With but one exception all of the old players show that they have been very careful with them- selves during the winter. As far as can be learned perfect harmony exists among the players. In fact all of them appear to be very chummy
 Dissension in the past played consid- erable havoc in the game in Birming- ham. Unless something springs up be- fore the season is well on Birmingham will start off in April with the best feeling existing between the players
 Molesworth has been designated as field captain. Vaughan will be on hand at every game. The men are said to have been delighted when the an- nouncement was made that Molesworth would be field captain of the team Dis 1 cord was not brought out by the ap- l pointment and the fans look for great | work this summer.

pect the advance in rate to be held off until all of the accumulation of pig iron and pipe caused by the inability on the part of the railroads to move the product promptly has been moved away At present rates, 1t Is cer- tainty that 1t will be four months yet before all the accumulated iron and pipe has been moved and the daily production is carried off in regular order. In other words the service be- ing given by the railroads is not so great as to provide transportation for great amount of tonnage over the regular production in the district.
 Steady work is noted in steel circles. Changes among the officials at various plants in this state where steel and products are turned out has had the ef- feet of reducing the output to consid- erable extent Every time a superin- tendent at one of the steel plants leaves

 Other preparations are being made in Alabama looking to a larger output of coal. The prospects are exceedingly bright. Labor Is being brought into the district, during the past two weeks several punches of foreign laborers be- ing seen enroute to mining camps in the district While this labor is mostly green, reports, received indicate that the greater portion of 1t is being train ed rapidly to be of service. if not in the actual mining of coal then in some other department of the industry.
