The Alabama dispensary law, as 1t fin

provides for dispensaries in only seven
teen counties. There are twenty-one pro-
hibition counties in the state, and twenty
eight counties in which the sale of liquor

A very romantic story is told in con-

Milwaukee the other day. Young DNyer,
It IS said, first saw the lady when she
was about to approach the altar TO be-
come the bride of another. Their eyes
me-, and their glances telegraphed instan-
tsneous and undying love 90 each other.
The bride-to-be declined TO go on with the
ceremony, and the wedding party brolse
up in a sensation. Within a few days

The Philadelphia Record touches upon a
matter which should be of greatest in
terest to the public, thus: The Senate
is becoming more and more an assemblage
OF speculative persOnages who are quite
as much interested in the ups and downs
o. stocks in Wall street as in the public
business which they are selected to trans
aet'ard which they are paid for transact
ing" The Record probably had in mind
the ship subsidy bill and the Nicaragua
canal bill, among others. 1t is very we'll
known that several senators are interest
ed In ships and shipping, and others in
coal and iron, and there have been sug
gestions that some of them have Pc
cuniary interest in the proposed canal 1t
seems that the great Credit Mobilier scan
dal of number OF years ago, and the
sugar scandals of later years. should prove
warning to senators, and to the people
as well, that those who make the laws
should not be persons to reap a money
profit from them.
