Out Of a clear sky startling book Is
about to drop. and French politicians

Memoirs" by Nine, Marguerite steinheiI,
the brilliant and beautiful French
thronged with with hundreds Of men
and women Of the FIRST distinction, and
who held an envied place IN, the gay
social life OF Paris. Fabulous stories are
told of the price paid the author for the
book. The figures are not known, but IL
is known positively that lie Journal
Paris paid $4,000 for the serial rights

Nine. Steinheil was accused. II win be
recalled, some two years ago, Of a double
murder-that Of her husband and her
mother-and though on all counts ac-
quilted, she wishes to brush away every
cloud of suspicion from her nams-and
this book Is designed to effect that pur-
pose.
At the time Of her trial pressure from
influential quarters closed her mouth. and
forced concealment OF the whole truth.
She was the intimate friend and trusted
adviser of President Faure. and accord
ing to a statement, ruled France" dur
ing Faure's Presidency. A well-nigh
priceless necklace, with a mysterious his
tory that put 1t beside the other famous
necklaces connected with scandals of the
past, had a strange part IN this affair.
and may well have been a motive for
the crime which the courts attempted to
fasten upon the tragic widow" whom
her enemies called the black panther"
She was advised not to touch upon her
relations with President Faure at her
trial, but in her memoirs she speaks Of
the whole matter with astonishing
frankness. Titled Frenchmen, diplomats,
and foreigners titled and distinguished.

her name, Nine. Stelnheil puts aside re-
serve, and in discreet indiscretions lifts
the ven from politics and society with
startling holiness.
The. memoirs are virtually an autobiog-
raphy with the double murder and the
terrible ordeal of the trial occupying a
considerable part Of the large book.
Altogether these memoirs are certain,
IL even a small part of what is said of
them in advance be true, to prove one of
the most startling and sensational of
autobiographies.

CONGRESSMAN UNDERWOOD

From the Memphis News-Sclmitar.
 Some days ago the News-Scimitar com mented on the sprprislng news story that Congressman Underwood of Alabama fa- vored tine Aldrich financial plan, and The Age-Herald of Birmingham claims that this is misrepresentation of MT. Under woods views, and calls upon the News Scimitar to show when and where" MT Underwood made the declaration. This cannot now be done. The item appeared in several eastern newspapers, which, as the editor of The Age-Herald we'll knows are not hoaded as souvenirs but scanned and thrown into the scrap heap. If 1t does MT. Underwood any injustice, the News-Scimitar disclaims any responsbili- ty for 1t and swithdraws the statement, which was made in good faith and with only passing interest. The News-Sclmitar yields to no one in its admiration for the sturdy Alabamian. Were he not worth while. and something much more than the ordinary, his name would not have appeared in these columns.

Crisis of the War is Passed

Beyond all doubt military status quo will lead to peace. In one short month both sides got sufficiency of war and both will seek peace. The sole obstacle to peace is and will continue to be the attitude of Austria, a coun- try that hopes in the long run to con- trol one side of the Adriatic as fully as Italy controls the other.
 It is, however, unwise to discuss terms of peace when there is so little information to base a discussion on. Correspondents say that Turkey can retain Adrianople by paying the allies large indemnity, but no one knows whether or no Servia is to hold Dur ago on the Adriatic. Nor is it all plain what Greece is to secure.
 The world at large will welcome a cessation of bloodshed, and it will to gain that applaud any reasonable set clement of details. The less of Moslem rule in Europe that the negotiations permit, the better will the Christian world be pleased.

A Tragedy in the Courthouse

The death of citizen in an eleya- tor in the courthouse should remind the people of this big and rich county of the ill equipment of the county's buildings. Citizens are not killed in elevators properly equipped and handled.
 Both the jail and the courthouse of this county are sadly outgrown. When they were built the county contained but eighty-odd thousand people, whereas now it holds fully 250,000. Time and population and the growth of public business have rendered the county buildings antiquated and in- sufficient.
 Two years must elapse between votes on bond issues for new county buildings, and the next vote cannot be taken until 1914, but plans can in the meanwhile be formed and public sen- timent educated, so that the vote will not again prove disappointing. Should an extra session of the legislature be convened the fee system will be abol- ished, and this, too, will promote a vote that will enable the county to erect a suitable building and to equip
 
 it as modern buildings are equipped.
 The accident in the courthouse was distressing, and it will no doubt awaken the people of the one great county in the state to proper sense of the county's duty and responsi- bility.

Continuing Prosperity
bility,.

Only few pessimists predicted that there would be slump in business following democratic victory in November. It was generally felt that the prosperity which had been in full swing since midsummer had come to stay. And so it has. It has been nearly month since the election. The result was well received by the busi- ness world and business was as active the week after election as it was the week before. The demand for iron and steel has been unabated.
 Business conditions were never sounder than they are today. The jobbing trade has made new high rec ords in the volume of business and everything points to an exceptionally active retail trade this month. In every part of the country merchants have laid in large stocks, but they will hardly be large enough to meet the eager demand.
 Pay rolls in the Birmingham dis trict are larger than ever and the

Great Railroad Merger Dissolved

The merger of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific brought about by the late Edward H. Harri- man was ended yesterday by the United States supreme court. Off cials of the Hartman system mani fested no surprise, but the stock ex- change was naturally excited.
 Those who recall the Northern &c., curities case about ten years ago will remember how quickly and how easily matters were adjusted in obedience to the courts decision and will not be perturbed over the supreme courts dissolution. of the Hartman merger.
 While the decision will have far reaching effect in the railroad world general business will not be affected. When dissolution proceedings were pending against the Standard Oil company and the American Tobacco company, there was a considerable degree of uneasiness in financial circles lest business would be seri- ously disturbed in the event that the government won it's contention. But when the government decided that there must be dissolution of the so- called trust in each case those two great corporations found no difficulty whatsoever in complying with the law as it was interpreted by the su- preme court. And so it will be with the dissolution of the Hartman merger and any other dissolution that the supreme court may decree.
 Justice Day delivered the opinion yesterday. It was clear and exhaus- tive and received the unanimous in- dorsement of the court.
