SHE LIKED PERFUMERY.
But the Druggist Gave Her Little
More Than She Wanted.

There is at least one woman in Provi
dene who IL fully resolved never to be- COW
etous of perfumery again, or II she is es-
pecially desirous Of some particularly fne
odor, never to seek it In Olneyville. The
only thing TO be regretted is the fact
that although the woman was cured Of
her pleasing little trick OF stealing eau
dc cologne the occupants OF the car in
which sho ride were compelled TO suffer
also.
There is certain druggist not far from
Olpeyville square who has tempting ar
ray Of bottles of choice waters standing
on a small table near the entrance. Tho
keeper Of the store had been considerably
ANNOYED by the daily visits Of certain
we'll dressed woman To the store, who
after making some triiiing purchase
would prucsed TO literally soak her hand
kerchief from one of tho Lottles as she
went out. The particular odor which was
most agreeable 60 her was n choice brand
Of whito rose. and rs this was one OF the
mcst EXPENSIVE of the lot, the druggist
began 10 feel righteous indignation toward
the lady customer.
Yesterday after she had paid visit TO
the store and after purchasing five cents
worth OF SEN son and using ahnut eight
cents worth from her favorite bottle. the
druggist cot 10 work. He removed all the
bottles from tho counter except one, which
was nearly empty. This he proceeded to
Gll with mixture which druggist alone
can concoct. After half an hour formulnt-
ing md mixing he labelled tho bottle
white Rose" and placed IL in "A tempt
ing position on rho counter.
At niuC O'Clock this morning the lady
entered with friend and each purchased
n glass OF soda and moved 20 the door. OF
course the large bottle caught her eve,
and motioning 10 nor friend they both
splashud their nandkerchiefs with tho
supposed cologne md then hailed pass
ing Angel street box car.
The mixture had brcu so devised that
the warmth of the pocket alone was nee
essarv 10 produce the odor desired. The
car projected on its way and nothing
hnppontd until America street was
reached ard then the passengers all notic-
eu "a strange and terribly pungent odor
resembling an ancient blue fish which H.
considerably pas the stage Of decompoSi-
ton. Tho oGOr became stronger and one
lady arose and made for the door. A few
gentlemen made remarks on tho back
platform which were not nc all compli-
inentarv and drcamped also. Gradually
the passengers thinnVd out and the un-
happyoflicial ON the hack platform wonder
cd what the deuce was tho matter and
fairly prayed chat sbe would arrive at her
des inhtion or ovaporate AT last the two
ladies coaid enduie tho stencil no longer
and arose and left the car
The druggist Is jubilant and the lady
will buy no moro perfume in Olneyyille.

Down in Montgomery.

From the Montgomery Journal
''The morning papers continual and
persistent perversion of the news receiv-
ed through the courtesy of different de-
partments at the state-house. it's Goa in
ual and outrageous abuse of it's supposed
privileges as a newspaper as a means to
an end not only seemed but were so
amazing that many people wondered how
long it would be extended courtesies
which would enable 1t still further to
wreak its personal vengeance on the state
administration. The people are not
amazed that such a disfeputable news
gatherer should be called down, but they
are amazed that it should have been ia
yored so long with privileges that it so
recklessly and wantonly abused. 1t is
the gall and effrontery of the morning
paper that most amazes the people. q .
A newspaper seeking news should seek it
legitimately and use it honorab bly,. This
the morning paper has not done. This
the morning paper has consistently and
persistently refused to do. There is a.
law to protect every state official as well
as other persons, from highwaymen."

Special to the Age-Herald.
Montgomery Aug. 21.-There are no
new developments in the Lott case given
out by the governor, though the examin-
ers keep the governor fully advised of
what they are doing.
The governor will take no action in the
case until the examiners report the real
status of affairs. 1t is, however, a fact
that Lott has not paid dollar into the
treasury for some time. An unofficial let
ter received by state officer from Mo-
bile sa VS. that one of Lofts relatives has
proposed that there should be public
meeting and the money contributed by the
people, as the shortage would not exceed
$4,000. II, is we'll understood here that

faulter his head will go off the same day.
ut seems Ito be pretty well understood
here that so late as August 20, 1896. Lott

he collected large sums of taxes for the
ensuing year, commencing October Is. In
August, September and October, before

Tuscaloosa, Ala. Aug. 81 1897.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
To ons of any experience in political
affairs it is evident that trouble is brew
ing in the democratic party. Advantage
is being taken by the personal enemies
of our chief executive of the recent sill
yer excitement and of the disordered po-
litical condition of the country, to To-
ment and develop serious opposition to
his election for another term of Office.
All of this is most unfortunate for the
people, 1t is unwarranted by anything
which has happened, and is a criminal
disregard of duty to the people of Ala
bama, and to those of the south, who
have remained true and steadfast in
allegiance to the democratic partyl The
writer was, and is, gold man." a'sin-
cere believer in monome tallism. He has
never given in his admission to bimetal-
Ilsm, in whatever livery that evil one
may appear; but he knows that bimetal-
hsnl vel non is a national question-one
to be determined by the federal goverp-
ment-and that state can only reach up
to it, when federal ell ct.oss are tor be
held and decided. This being true. why
should we wsr upon him whom the peo-
pie have honored with their confidence.
