A CARD FROM REV. Mr.. SMITH.

St Johns Parish House, Oct D.
Editor Providence News
My attention has been called to an ar
ticle in the evening papers concerning the
propriety OF Mayor Granger's appearing as
bal ifi the case Of Harriet Little. who was
called this morning tO plead to an indict-
ment in the court or Common Pleas.
As Mr. Granger furnished bail for Mrs.
Little 1T my request. desire to make "a
statement regarding the case.
Mrs Little, "A laundrers. about 50 years
-ttf -eee is f,44a,bsr- of St--Inhn-s- church.
ana for many years has been employed IN
the houses OF our parlshloners She is
considered by our parish missionary and
by the people for whom she has worked
an honest respectable woman.
Last summer she was charged with
Keeping \ disorderly house and was placed
under arrest. our missionary visited her
at once In the county jail and heard her
from others with regard 90 the case and
became convinced that Mrs. Little was
not a party 10 the offence.
The disorder In her house, our missionary
believed To be the result Of the intem-
perate habits OF Mrs little's husband.
The fact that Mrs. Little with her earn
lngs paid the house rent made her legally
responsible for the nuisance with which
her home is charged She has not been
accused of keeping house Of ill fame.
Late yesterday afternoon learned that
Mrs. Little could not obtain bail. At ?
o'clock in the evening | telephoned Ia Mr..
Granger asking him II he knew whom |
might get 60 orer bail. Mr.. Granger at
once relieved me OF the difficulty OF look
ing further by volunteering Co appear
himself lie knew nothing of the merits
of the case. but. trusting the Judgment Of
our missionary. he came 90 the relief Of n
fellow parishoner whom he believed 10
be charged with an offence 81 which she
Is not guilty IL Is owing 10 his act ~
courtesy To me. and the generous desire
10 assist woman ga distressful circum-
stances that Mr.. Granger has been placed
IN an unfavorablc llght by the article re-
ferrcd 90.

cit is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton, 'that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, l have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa-
ton. I find for tourists and sales
men, or for persons filing Office posi-
tions, where headaches and general
bad feelings from irregular habits
exist, that Green's August Flower is
a grand remedy. It does not injure
the system by frequent use, and is
