WAS GREETED BY A RECORD
 BREAKING AUDIENCE
"Tell Me Pretty Maiden" Still Ring. ing in the Ears of Montgom- erians-Big Company Gave
 Great Satisfaction.

Tell me. pretty maidens.
 Are there any more at home like you"
 With the refrains sof this dainty little song from "Florodora' ringing in their ears the best part of Montgomery's cit izenship left the Montgomery Theatre at 12 o'clock last night satisfied that the big New York success was one of the most pleasing productions ever seen on local stage.
 From the time the announcement was first made that "Florodora" was to be here this season. Montgomery playgoers have been on the qui vive and when the box off1ce of the Montgomery Theatre was opened Monday morning for the sale of seats there was a perfect stream of humanity waiting to buy the bits or pasteboard The result of this remark able interest in the play was one of the biggest audiences Montgomery ever wit messed in a theatre

 The supreme moment arrived promptly at 8 o'clock when the curtain arose on the first act revealing q scene or sx quisite beauty. It was "F'lorodora with the big cast that made the play the talk of all New York and Montgomerians were happy.

It is useless to repeat the story of the play. It Is too we'll known to theatrically-informed persons.
 The first act takes place on the isiand of Florodora in the Philippines. The stage picture is bewilderingly beautiful, in gorgeous costumes, with the back ground of tropical flowers and plants sur passes description. The other two scenes of the play were equally as attractive.
 There are twenty-four musical numbers in the play and each of them were re- peatediy applauded. The solo Under the Shade of the Palms. by MT. Bowser, made a great hit and he was given three recalls Miss Dudley was also repeated ly encored after singing the catchy little topical song Tact" The double sex tette "Tell Me Pretty Msidens'' was, of course the hit of the play and the au- dience required the twelve singers to do it over four times

MANS CLOTHING
 LEADS TO DEATH.
Every Garment That is Worn, Says Physician, Helps to Induce Disease.

Physician, Helps to Induce Disease Chicago Tribune.
 Clothes may not make the man, ac- cordng to the old maxim, but accord ing to a well-known Chicago physician they may unmake him with facility that ought to turn the fool-killer green with envy.
 ''Go into the big. modern furnishing house. said he, and you can scarcely put your finger upon an article of wear ing apparel that isn't either murderously menacing or insistently detrimental to health. In fact, you might arraign all clothing with a good deal of common sense and consistency. ,soss-..,.

There may be no thread of wool in 1t. and the careful combing out of the inner cotton flores of the garment makes only still fur ther recepticle for clammy moisture from the body.

 Hon. J. H. Bankhead, Congressman from the Sixth Congressional District reached the city last night as did Hon. D. J. Meador, State Senator from Ma reneo County. and Hon. Alfred M. Tun- stall, of Greensboro, Speaker pro tenn of the House of Representatives.
 With so many distinguished Democrats in the city and all staying at the Ex, change Hotel. the lobby of the famous old hostlery took on the appearance of Leg islature days. There was much informal discussion of affairs political.
 Governor Jelks, Commissioner or Agrl- culture Poole and other State officials, were in the lobby for awhile late in the evening and the public men passed the time pleasantly in social conversation.
 No one of them would enter into sert- ous discussion with newspaper men rela- tive to the recent announcements Of Gen eral Shelley and former Governor John ston. One public man said It was not believed that the antis would continue the fight unless they wanted to organize a Survivors Association.
 ''The fight has been fought and won, he said, "and they can gain nothing by undertaking to continue a fight outside of Democratic ranks.
 Messrs. Underwood. Gray, Tunstall and Moore will remain in Montgomery today. MT. Bankhead and Mir. Lowe will go to Birminaham this morning. MT. Meador said he thought he would have to go to Selma on business this morning.
