PASSING THRONG.

E PASSING THRONG. ] 1 we'll known citizen of Birmingham | observed yesterday that Montgomery was | the only city In the South where men
 smoked on street cars with an apparent
 disregard of the presence of ladies on the cars. This practice" he said, which | appears to be so general in Montgomery, | is not observed in Birmingham nor any
 other city in the South. Although all cars | ere ave signs stating tat smoking Is l forbidden. the men pull out their cigars | or cigarettes. light them and smoke in all | parts of the cars The conductors appear | here smoking away with the cars half | filled with ladies. They apparently ignore I the fact that smoke is extremely objec-
 tionahle to many persons and especially | so to ladies"
