A LOCAL paper and some Of the
councilmen Of TT. Scott are insisting
that an occupation tax be assessed
against the ministers Of the city as q
means Of raising revenue to make up
the deficiency occasioned by the clos
ing of the saloons. The council is
wrestling with an occupation tax or
dinsnce which some Of the members
refuse to support unless it shall in
clude the ministers. The town is
two months in arrears with the police
saleries. The city attorney has ad-
vised that the ministers may be taxed,
though they are not in any other
town in the land.

BEERoHMR, under date July 20, es.
Inmates the European wheat crop as
follows; 1897, 1,294,9OO,OOO bushels;
1896, 1,51HSOO,OOO bushels; 1896, L.
492, 100000 bushels; 1894, 1,54O,OOO,-
600 bushels; 1893, 1,45O,OOO,OOO bush
els; 1892, 1884 100000 bushels; 1891,
1,178,OSOOOO bushels. 1t is, of course
possible that in France, and also in
RusIa, final results may exceed pres
emit expectations, but ii is equally
possible that the American crop may
fall short OF present indications,
which are for a crop Of $50 or 600
million bushels. But in a bread way
tho position seems TO DO that the
European crop deficiency is likely to
exceed the American excess.

CHRISTMAS BRINGS TEARS
To Mrs, F. E. Smith, Who Is
 Behind the Bars
INDICTED FOR PERJURY
Swore Her Daughter Was Fourteen to Procure Marriage License-Alleged She Swore
 Otherwise Before Grand jury.

While happiness and mirth hold high car nival in many homes on this joyous Christ mas morn, there is a little cottage at East Birmingham where desolation reigns su- preme. The mother, the head of the family, bowed down in sorrow and humiliation at her sad plight, is behind the bars at the county jail charged with perjury. Her only daughter. a. child of tender years, whose honor sine sought to shield. is left to care for herself as best she can. The child spent last night in a hovei in Second avenue between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-flfth streets which Is occupied by Mrs. Cook as a home for herself and chill dren. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. T. E. Smith, accompanied by her daughter Mollie, went to the county jail to get a bundle of clothes left by Charley Jinks who was sent to Coalburg on Wednesday on a charge of abusive language. He is also un- der Indictment for improper relations with Mollie, who is alleged to be under fl years of age
 It will be remembered that Mrs Smith, the mother of the girl. procured a marriage license for the two on an affidavit that the girl was II years of age. It is claimed that she swore before the grand jury in the links case that the girl was under the age of If years This she denies. An indict- ent was returned lg ,inst her charging perjury. It was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Tom Jones. and as Mrs. Smith left the jail yesterday he placed her under arrest. The woman beggef that the girl to be put In jail with her but this could { ct be dc1e.
 Warden Daly made her as comfortable as possible under the circumstances, but when an Age-Herald reporter called at the jail and asked to see her she burst into tears and begged piteously that some thing be done for her relief
 She said she had done nothing criminal and that the girl was 14 years of age on Aug. last. She said that her daughter was possibly at Mrs. Cooks, where she did not want her to- be. She spoke of her past life, the death of her husband in Texas, her removal to Birmingham six years ago. and her struggle for existance since then, all of which she had bravely borne up under, but the disgrace of her incarceration was too much for her. As she spoke of her pitiful condition and of the Christmas season which she said had always been inspiration, the tears trickled down her worn face almost con torted with grief.
 The reporter hastened to Mrs. Cooks house and found the girl there. Mrs. Cook said she would care for her through the night.
 The woman's bond was fixed at $20o, which she was unable to give.

nesses and by Mir. Browns statement The fired, and the course of the men through the store.
 The comments were varied. Surprise was expressed on every side that some inno- establishment was not hit by stray bull let. Tho only accountable way out of 1t is that a majority of the lady customers were in the left aisle of the store from ed down the right aisle.
 Those who retained their equilibrium dur ing the shooting say that the scene among the ladies when the men came rushing into the store was indescribable. They were running here and there and In a moment all of them were huddled together In the left aisle. At the first opportunity they lost no time in getting out.
 A lady clerk in the establishment tainted from fright and fell under one of the counters. During the excitement incident to the shooting she was forgotten, but was afterwards given attention.
 NIT. Ashford Was Cool
 Some account for the miraculous escape of the bystanders by the perfect coolness of Mr. Ashford all during the melee. To an Age-HeraId reporter he expressed re- gret that any part of the difficulty took place in the presence or ladies.
 "I had no idea." said he. that the man would run in the store when I began shoot ing. I saw the ladies in the store and 1t was because I was perfectly cool that none of them were hurt. Ileveled my pistol to shoot once or twice more, but ladies ran in the way and for fear of hitting them did not fire"
 Further than this he would say nothing in regard to the details of how the affair occurred. As to the details that were printed he did not deny the story of the actual scene of the shooting. but said the Courtland end of the affair as printed was

PERMISSION GRANTED.
Sylvester Scove Will Accompany Rafael Mad
 rigaI to Gomez's Camp.

Washington, Dec. A.-An official dispatch received here states that the Spanish au- thorities at Havana have granted permis- sion to Sylvester Scovel to accompany Rafael Madrigal the United States consul agent at Sancti Spiritus. to the camp of the insurgent commander in chief, General Gomez. The trip of the consular agent is made for the purpose of closing up the es- tate of an American correspondent killed in Cuba, the assets having been in the hands of General Gomez for some time. Beyond thisi there Is said to be no signifi- canoe in this visit of the agent to the Cu- ban headquarters. Scovels mission, how American correspondent and was arrested in Cuba about a year ago. His case att tracted wide attention and was discussed in congress. The grant of passports to him for this mission to Gomez camp is cited by the Spanish authorities as an in- stance of the freedom with which General Blanco permits correspondents to conduct their investigations. The fact that the American agent and Scovel proceed to- gether will give the former an opportunity to share in the observations, but there is said to be no purpose on his part to do more than close up the estate. Madrigal is not an American. but is appointed be- cause of his residence at Sancu Spiritus, and by virtue of the appointment he car ried with him the protection and prestige of the United States government.

Its Dangers and How It May Be Cured.

If anyone suffering with chronic catarrt could look into the hidden recesses of his skull and see the mass of corruption that is hourly contaminating his head, throat and lower organs, he would be affrighted and would hasten to possess himself of any means that would cleanse the affected parts of the diseased matter.
 Catarrh is a disease that never sleeps Its ravenous appetite Is constantly feed ing upon and corrupting the delicate and minute blood vessels that compose the mucous membrane. and as the mucous membrane lines the nasal passage the Eustachian tube Heading from the throat to the middle ear) the throat, the stomach and in fact all of the important organs of the body unless the disease Is checked it is more than apt to spread until it effects the eyes, ears, bronchial tubes or stomach. causing violent headache. blindness. deaf ness, bronchitis, consumption, chronic dys- pepsia and other diseases.
 Anti-Catarrh, the great Alaskan Botanic Cure acts on the right principle. It first clears the affected parts of ,the diseased matter and corruption, relieves the disa- greeable symptoms at once and gradually heals and restores vitality to the diseased membrane.

 Chances of Recovery Good
 Dr. Brown said to an Age-Herald reporter last night that his patients chances of re- covery were good. His fever is not very high yet, and one of the principal pre- cautions is to keep him quiet For this req son MT. Brown will not be allowed to at tempt to make statement for several days.
 One of the complications to be avoided the doctor said, was pneumonia, which sometimes set in with those who are shot through the lungs. The doctor said, how ever, that he had observed no symptoms of this kind so far. Taking everything into consideration the doctor thinks the patient will recover.
 It is not thought that MT. Brown was armed when he was accosted by MT. Ash ford. As stated yesterday morning, no weapon of any kind was found on his per- son. Yesterday in his valice at the Morris hotel, pistol was found. The friends of Mr. Ashford, however. claim that he at- tempted to draw revolver when they met on Twentieth street.
 The attorney for MT. Ashford would say nothing further yesterday than that he acted in self-defense
 Many drummer friends of Mir Brown are interesting themselves in the prosecution. and 1t is likely that many sensational fea- lures will be brought out in the trial
