THE FUTURE OF AUSTRIA
 HUNGARY.

The more closely the European poli- iical situation is studied. the more re- mote does the chance of disintegrating trouble for Austria Hungary appear as the possible sequel of the death of its emperor-kiHs. The personality of the monarch, revered and loved throughout his domains. has SD long been regarded as the cement which kept the hostile races and warning clements toge her. that his death has usually been the final breaking up of the heterogeneous congeries that makes up The dual king dom But study Of the situation seems f" have completely treasured those most interested in the preservation of European equilibrium
 The dangers that would threaten in the event If Franz Jesers death ara of tWo kinds-thase from without and those from within. II k now clearly seen. however. that the diplomacy of Edward VII. in surrounding and iso- iating Germany with q series of alli- anccs and sntentes will tend power fully towards the restraint of the kai- ser T. would be no longer to the in terest of Germany to see the domain of the Hapsburgs broken up Such a result would deprive Germany af the one strong ally she has left in the world. Italy the other member of the triple alliance, Is lukewarm and lack ing in military strength Her real sympathies are with France and Eng land The possible acquisition of the German provinces of Austria would be small compensation for the loss of th, Austrian alliance, especially as il could not be achieved without war. and. once achieved. would disturb the prepon- derance of the Protestant German ele- ment in the empire over the Catholic clement. The kaiser. therefore. would naturally be disposed to conserve the dual Kingdom in Its present form. while

GAS PLANT OPERATION.
lueisn n. Tying Compares Public and
Private Ownership.

Lucien ii. Tying contributed to the
August issue Of Moojy's Magazine a
strong article on Private versus Pub
lie Operation Of Gas Companies" from
which we take the following:
Making money out of . gas plant Is
not like picking gold eagles out Of the
street. and a franchise to run the gas
business In a community is no gold
mine. 1t may be developed into n
source Of great profit. but only In con.
junction with capital and business abb;
ity. especially the latter, which If not
employed I'm the particular gas bust.
ness In question might be securing
greater returns I'm some other field.
There Is no more logic In the belief
that the surplus earnings Of n success.
full gas company over a certain per.
centage on the investment should go
to the municipality than that II whole
sale grocer should refund to his Gus.
toner all profits Owe q per cent. say,
on the capitalization OF his company.
The success OF the gas company INT
from the use OF proper Judgment. en-
T. and business methods in the use
and risk Of capital invested, just as in
any other business.
THAT often the gas business is ap-
parently II natural monopoly I'm n given
community does not disprOve the fore
going reasoning. The gas companies
that are making the most money today
are not those that are taking advan-
tage OF their franchise rights to exact
high rates. They are the ones who by
their W effort In educating the PEG.
pie are so increasing the per capita
consumption OF gas AS to make a lower
rate n business possibility and by their
intelligent attention to operating cost
and investment OF large amounts OF
new capital when needed are able to
reduce the cost Of making gas sufi-
GENTLY to secure n greater total profit
out OF selling n large amount Of gas mt
a low rate than vas before received
when rates were higher and business
less.
But II Is only by the most aggres-
sive and intelligent business methods
that II gas company can hope to sue
coed under such conditions. The abil'
ity to handle the business I'm this way
is something that Il municipality can
not buy at a salary. The opportunities
In other lines OF business are too great
to those with the capacity that enables
them to develop the highest earning
power out OF a gas company at a low
margin OF profit for the product"

Early ATorninw Fires ARain.

Mobile. March 12.--(Special 1-The regular early morning fires happened again this morning when the house at No. Motion Street was badly dam aged. the negro school at No. slight ly damaged and the frame house No. Ii also badly damaged. without any apparent cause but which the chief of the fire department and the chief of police attribute to incendiaries.
 Each night for the past few nights fire has been discovered in this district, known as the Orange Grove district, a negro settlement, and each fire origi- mates from causes unknown. The flames this morning were discovered by neighbors of the people occupying No. g Motion Street and when the de. partment arrived this building was badly damaged, while the dimes had jumped over to the school house next door at No. and also to the building on the other side, No. Il, both of which were slightly damaged.
 The chief of the department is hard at work to learn if these fires are the outcome of incendiary work and is aided by the police department. As- sistant Chief Myrick examined one of the houses where fire originated a few nights ago and found the front sills of the house saturated with oil.

FREIGHT ON RIVERS
RAILROAD COMMISSION INvEsI-
 GATES TRAFFIC AND RATES.
Chairman Henderson and Secretary Kennedy to Make Tour of AAa- bama and TOmbiGbee to Acquire
 OnacimI Information.

Chief Clerk S. P. Kennedy. of the Alabama Railroad Commission, left Montgomery yesterday for Selma. where he Is to join Chairman Charles Henderson of the Commission, for an inspection trip down the Alabama river. >6ss sf
 This is the beginning of the inspec- ton tour which the Commission de- cided upon several weeks ago directly after the filing of the steamboat tarifrs for freight with that body for approv- al to apply during the current year. Inspection of the cities on the Alabama and Tombibee rivers was deemed es- might form an intelligent idea of what would be an equitable tariff for steamboat traffic on the two rivers mentioned.
 The tariffs which were filed last month by representative boatmen from Mobile, engaged in shipping on both the Alabama and the Tombigbee riv- CTS, included but few raises. Some decreases were made. The rate on cotton remains undisturbed.
 It Is the policy of the Commission to encourage river traffic as much as pas- sible and to establish steamboates on a relationship with the railroad lines which will result in the stimulation of traffic on the waterways of the State. For this reason the reports of Chair man Henderson are awaited with marked interest. He may have some- thing to say on the subject at the next monthly meeting in Montgomery, which is the first Monday in April

Epidemic of Thefts.

Mobile, March 12.-(Special.)- Thieves are again at work. reports of two burglaries. one attempted burglary and one hold-up being lodged at police headquarters this morning. and in no case have the police any clue to work on as yet but they are determined to bring the thieves to justice and to this end the sheriff's and police de- partments have men detailed specifi- cally on the thievery cases.
 The fruit shop conductd by a man named Christoff on Conception be- tween Savannah and Selma streets was entered and the cash drawer and all it's contents stolen, amounting to SIS in money. pistol. set of false Thieves entered this place by prying the front door of its hinges. showing how bold they are in their depreda- tions. Mir. Williammore, who conducts a grocery and bar at St. Emanuel and Selma streets reported to the police that thieves had broken into his place. forcing rear window but as no money was left in the cash drawer they got nothing, or he had not missed any thing.
 Mrs. W. E. Sherheld living at the corner of Scott and Augusta streets reported that a man entered her yard last night and she fired three shots at him. none of which took effect as he made his escape. She states that she Is unable to say whether the man was white or black.
 To climax all the robberies. Charley England, a white man. was held up at the corner of Lawrence and Cont streets. in the heart of town, and robbed of $6 and before he could sum- mon aid the two negroes who held him up made their escape

Negro Betts Bound over.

Mobile March 12.--(Special. .)-Jim Betts, the negro who stabbed Henry Thompson. another negro, to death on Tuesday afternoon, was given a pre- liminary hearing in the recorders court this morning and was sent to jail without the benefit of bail to await trial in the City Court.
 All the evidence introduced proved the negro Betts to have been greatly in fault in killing Thompson as he was acting as peacemaker. Several testi- fled that Betts and a negro named Phillips had had some trouble and Phillips went into a saloon. Betts was following him when Thompson came out of the saloon with his hands up in the air and ask ed Betts not to get himself fin trouble. Betts answered him by cutting his throat. The wound proved fatal almost instantly.
 When Betts took the stand he agreed to the testimony of all witnesses and stated that Thompson had no right to interfere with him at all. whether he was going to get in trouble or not. The judge held that as the murder was one entirely without Justification the defendant was not entitled to bail and he was ordered so held to await trial.

WOMEN AT FORTY
IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING THE
 HEALTH AT THAT TIME.
Proof of One Case in Which . weak. Nerveus and Dfscournxed Woman Was Marvelously Helped by
 the Tonic Treatment.

Women approach their forieth year
 with worry and uncertainty, for the manner In which they pass that crisis determines the health of their after life During this most important time In the life of woman, her whole aim should be to build up and strength en her system to meet the unusual demands upon it. Devotion to family should not lead to neglect of self but worries should be avoided as far as possible. Whether she is able to do this or not, no woman should fail to take the tonic treatment if she is en- tering this critical period in a weak, rundown and nervous condition. A tonic medicine Is one that builds up the blood and, for this purpose. the experience of thousands of women has shown that pr. Williams Pink Pills have no equal.
 Mrs. Martha Dennis of S23 West Cedar Street, Kalamazoo. Mich, is one who owes her health to this treat ment. She says:
 T suffered for year with weak ness. enduring pains which almost made me frantic. My kidneys were weak, I had pains in my loins and back and could hardly stoop over or lift anything. My liver was torpid anu fuy COmpIcXiOn ana the WnlIe8 or my eyes yellow. had palpitation of the heart, my limbs ached and had severe headaches. I was troubled with chills, followed by levers, and would have to go to bed. I could not rest at night and was unable to remember anythin l was weak, irritable, nerv- ous and discouraged.
 After several months of suffering was advised by friend to try pr. Williams' Pink Pills and the benefit I received from the first few boxes was I was cured much sooner than hoped and have been In good health ever since"
 Drowsiness, a feeling of heaviness. pain in the front of the head, nausea and even vomiting, dizziness. faintness. bot flashes followed by chtlls and profuse precipitation are some of the signs that indicate the need of tonic treatment as the change approaches. If this is your condition you should not wait another day before giving pr. Williams Pink Pills a trial. The best proof of their merit is what they have actually done for others. Our booklet, Plain Talks to Women" gives proof of the help given in many such cases for suffering women.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, post paid ,on receipt of price. 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenec- tady. N. Y.
