 An offer to sing in the Royal theatre in Leipsic was made to her, and Con- suelo was delighted to go, because tha empress had decreed that she should marry one of her favorites. But she still hung around. waiting for AL bert to answer her letter. Porpora, with his usual first aid methods, told her he had received a letter from AL bert forever renouncing her. Con- suelo signed the papers. and started for Germany.
 On the way, she luckily saved the life of no less politician than Fred- erick the Great of Prussia and he gave orders for her entertainment in his capital, commanding that Porpora be sent back to Vienna.
 Word came to Consuelo that Count Albert was dying, and longed to see her before the end.
 This ain't & trance, this is the real thing" Albert assured her, when she had arrived at his bedside.
 He begged Consuelo to marry him so that she would inherit his title and his kopecks.
 Consuelo didn't say, "This is so sud- den," but she respectfully accepted, She didn't feel that she had lost Ai- bert entirely, because she knew he would come back to haunt her sooner or later. So she ight-about faced to- ward the temple of her art.

UTILITIES BOARD
 BUSY INSTITUTION TWenty-TWo Cases Docketed Saturday for Hearing at
 March Term

Montgomery. February 2S.-(Spe- cial) )-The days when there was nothing to do until tomorrow" in the Alabama public service commission are over and members do not now have time to look back to the time when railroads, telephone companies and other utilities were under gov-> ernment control and when their only authority was in an advisory capacity and exercised with the full consent of the government.
 Twenty-tYo cases appeared on the docket today for consideration at the March term, which will begin March 7. and will continue until all cases have been heard or postponed by re- quest. These petitions aid complaints ranged from a request for the discon- tinuance of agencies to complaints against rates on raw materials usen by furnaces in the Birmingham dis trict. The latter case has been before the commission for several months, but has been postponed from month to month either at the request of those who made the complaint or the other side. Operators of furnaces in the Birmingham district contend that tho rates on raw materials such as coal, coke iron ore and limestone necessary in the operation of furnaces are un- reasonably high; higher than the rates which the director-general of railroads Intended to give by his famous gem eral order No. 2S.
 Among the cases is the petition of Ray Rushton, receiver of the Mont gomery Light and Traction company. for permission to establish a service at-cost rate on the street car lines or Montgomery. This is a novelty for the south. It is proposed to make the basis rate 10 cents for a ride. this rat. to continue until $200,000 has been placed in an operating fund. Winch $200.000 is in the fund the rate will bN reduced one cent and the new rate win be continued until the fund has been reduced to $100.000. If six months operation does not reduce the fund be- low $zo0.000 another reduction of one cent will be made. Thus will continue the reduction or increase in rates. It
