TRAINS SUCCESSFUL
SUBURBAN SERVICE OVER M. AND
 O. ROAD.
First Week-Day Train of suburban Service Inaugurated sunday ROll- cd In Yesterday-W.ill Help
 Merchants.

If there ever was any doubt as to whether a double daily suburban ser- vice would be a paying proposition on the Montgomery division of the Mobile and Ohio Railrbad the question was very effectualiy settled yesterday uornife>
 Promptly at Ii a. m. yesterday train No. 107 came into the train shed. It was the first week day train of the suburban service inaugurated by the Mobile and Ohio Sunday morning. The train was a counterpart of the two St. Louis trains-baggage car, second class coach and first class coach-and both of the coaches were well filled with people from Tusca- loosa. MaplesviIle, Prattville and other points along the line of the M. and O. between Tuscaloos and Montgomery.
 At present there Is no mall service on the two suburban trains. but 1t is only a question of time before the pos tai authorities will have postal clerks on both the morning and evening trains. Yesterday being the first train the service is comparatively little known, but when the business people of Tuscaloosa, Maplesville and other points along the line realize the value of the suburban service the two trains win have all the business that they can handle.
 merchant in Tuscaloosa, Naples vile. etc, can mail a letter to one of the business houses in Montgomery early in the morning, have it delivered downtown here by noon and get re- pIy or have the goods he ordered de- livered between and o'clock the same evening.
 Train No. 10s, the first suburban week day train leaving for Tuscaloosa, had even a larger crowd than the morning train had. Besides taking out the people that came in the morning the Montgomery boys and most of the boys in this immediate territory who came home the University of Ala hama. to spend the holidays went back S, Tuscaloosa on that train.
 Take 1t all round. and the suburban service Is an unqualified success from tbe start. and Southeastern Passenger Agent Phil Hay and General Agent U Jones are entitled to the thanks oT the local merchants and the people between Tuscaloosa and Montgomery.

these will be close TO the excavations
OF the ancient seaport. The railway is
to be completed before the end OF 1911.
II Is to De a double line, capable of
carrying fairly frequent trains. which

hour. The line will be the property of
the Belgian company for forty-ive years,
during which time the commune of
Rome is TO receive IL per cent of the
gross profits. and at the end of that
period il is to be handed over to the
commune. The contractors will also
undertake TO make a road by the side
OF the line for ordinary traff1c. at least

SUNSHINE KILLS OFF BLONDES
AMERICAS CLEAR SKIES HELT
DEMON RUM.
Army Surgeon Finds Peculiar Con-
ditions in Observation-Disclosures
ness Due to Nerves.

NEW YORK. August "a startling note
of warning to biue-eyed, light-compleX-
toned New Workers. is uttered by DR..
Charles Z. Woodruff, surgeon and major
in the United States Army, who has just
completed a private tour of the prisons
and asylums OF the city and state.
The jails and institutions, he says. are
full of blondes who unable to stand the
struggle for existence In a climate to
which they are untitled. have fallen into
poverty, disease and crime.
What is true of New York. he says.
is true of the country as a whole, and
unless the blonde American finds or
adopts some better means of survival
than he has at present he will be wiped
out as a type in favor of the brunette.
Sunshine Is to Blame.
The great trouble is the sunshine. There
Is too much OF 1t in America for the
blonde, says DR.. Woodruff.
1t breaks down their nervous systems,
renders them unstable. morally as we'll as
physically, and makes them peculiarly
liable to the ravages OF consumption and
other deadly ailments.
In Clinton prison, says DIR. Woodruff
where the worst classes of criminals are
confined. and where he expected to find
the place full of modern "blackbeards, y
he was astonished at the large number OF
blondes. some of them of very light type
OF the 253 convicts whose hair color was
available for comparison, there were nine
teen with very light hair, sixty-one with
light brown, sixty-one with dark brown
and H. with black.
OF nearly 5000 men whose average
age was under twenty-one, admitted to
the Eimira reformatory, Dr. Woodruff
found the types classified themselves as
follows as to their hair: Blonde 3IS; red,
