supposed to do so. But it\is just as
difficult to classify the lobbyist as it is
to classify any other profession or
business. . The lobby is not an un-
.mixed evil. The romances about the
Washington lobby am like other ro-
mancet, a few glains of fact going a
long way and doing great service in
sustaining the fabi‘ic of fiction. These
romances have at times done much to
prejudice the people who never see
Congress in session, and give them ex-
aggeiated ideas of the Corruption that
gatheis beneath the dome of the Na-
tional capitol. There may have been

him or has rolls of greenbacks bulging
out his pockets, ready to influence Con-
gressmen. He will also look in vain
for the fascinatingly beautiful woman
who captures legislators with he1
smile and hypnotizes them into voting
as she wishes. These are creatures of
fiction. The lobby is made up of very
different people. And the men and
women who make up the lobby are
more often victims than those looking
for victims. _
The coarse and vulgar purchaser of
votes found in fiction and on the stage
does not resemble in the least the ex-
Senator who walks past the doorkeep-
er and takes a seat on one of the.sofas
in the rear of the Senate chamber.
a free admission to the Senate cham-
ber, the most exclusive place in the
whole United States. No man, howev-
er popular, who is not a Senator, a Con-
gressman, or a member of the Supreme
court may enter the Senate chamber
when the Senate is in session. The ex-
Senator always retains that right, He
carries it into private life with him,
and when he comes to Washington he
walks past the doorkeeper just as he
did when a member of the Senate.
There. are a good many ex-Senators in
the United States. A number of them
live‘in Washington. They are lobby:
ists. The name does not jar on their
nerves. They are engaged to promote
ceItain pioposed legislation, and they
regard it no more dishonorable or un-
dignified than they would the profes-
sion of the law and the employment of
counsel for corporations or individuals.
A tariff bill brings out many such
members of the lobby. They repre-
sent special interests and are paid to
present the
those interests. It is honorable-and
often necessary. They act as counsel
for such interests and show why they
‘need a high tariff or no tariff.
A minister of the gospel may be a
member of the lobby. In fact there
are often ministers in the lobby watch-
ing the legislation which interests
them or their churches. They are not
corrupt lobbyists who would purchase
votes, but'their services may' be paid
for by the churches or schools that
members of the lobby employ who have
never been known except as' politi-
cians. They argue, plead the cause of
the church and morality, use personal
influence, and ask for votes on the
ground of friendship if they cannot
make it appear that the bill is one
which should be passed on the grounds
of exact justice, and in accord with po-
litical p01icies. They will .even en-
courage “log-rolling,” which is held up
by theoretical moralists as one of the
evils of modern legislative assemblies.
They will ask their friends to pool is-
sues with others who are not active
which they have no interest, providing
this will help the bill wanted.
Political influence and church influ-
ence may go hand in hand in the lob-
by, and they often do. One of the
most interesting of the Southern war
claims is that of the book agents of
the Methodist Episcopal church, South.

Milwaukee's use of its fireboats for
fighting fire at a distance from the
river front is attracting attention in
other cities with navigable waters.
Cleveland, Detroit and Buffalo have
adopted the system and Boston is pre-

Milwaukee the idea was born of neces-
sity, the first suggestion being for a
pipe line from the river to an isolated
manufactory in a section .where the
water mains had not penetrated. The
pipe was laid and the first test with _a
fireboat at the river end showed a com-
plete success. Since then lines have
been laid to cover a great part of the
business district ofsthe city.

Be Upset Piovincial F lance with His Do-
munds for Bathtubs. ;. 1
President Felix Faure devotes special ,
_and unceasing attention to cleanliness, -'
He is doing‘ more to spread the useyof
'the bathtub in France than 'any..other
‘ Frenchman .of these or former times.
A Paris correspondent 'says that Wher- _.
ever the President goes-for "a week or
ten days there must be a bathhouse
with all modern improvements. He
refuses to stop even over night in a.
house _or hotel that has no bathroom.
His hobby causes many persons incon-
venience, for the bathroom is not__ a
universal institution in France, as in
this country. In' fact, the provincial
French towns are as barren of private
bathtubs as most praiiie villages in
this country. Nevertheless the Pres-
ident holds fast to the bathtub as a
condition precedent to his visit to any
town or castle.
In the Piesidential palace in Paris
and in the castle at Fontainebleau, M. .
Faure had elaborate bathrooms fitted
with the latest appliances and luxuries. :
In the castle at Ramboilletdast year
the President caused 100,000 francs to
be spent for bathrooms which he might
use during his three or four weeks’ res~
idence there.
The President’s passion for clean-x
lines has been a source of much vex— '
ation and industry at all the provincial
prefectures which he has visited since
succeeding M. Carnot. Usually on his I
excursions through the land he lodges
at these prefectures, and, as none ofi
' them was provided with bathrooms
when he began his tours, there has:
been a great bustling about to makeI
good the deficiencies. A laige bath-I
house was built last year at the pre-
fecture in Rennes, preparatory to his
brief sojourn them, and a similar-
house was erected at the prefecture in
Valence this year in anticipation of his
visit. The vigor with which the Pres- .
ident is leading his movement’ for bath
reform is said to have brought him
many converts and to have given the
neglected bathtub industry a great
boom in the republic. ——New Yo1k Sun.
DOCTOR’S BILL IN ALASKA.
$400 for Amputating an Arm——
Soothing Svi up 38. OOaBnttle.
Charles H. Metcalf, whg 1ecently re-
turned from the Klondike brOught news
concerning the welfare of Dr P. J.
B. Le Blane, a Detroit physician who
accompanied him to Alaska last Jan-
uary. Mr. Metcalf says that when he
left Dawson City, last July, Dr. Le,
Blane had a practice from which he}
received an income of $100 a day. As’
the doctor had been in the camp only
six weeks, he was much encouraged at
the prospect of doing a flourishing bus-
iness in the winter, when pneumbonia,
rheumatism and other diseases inci-
dent to. extreme cold Weather usually
find many victims. .
According to Mr. Metcalf the doctor
goes about his professional duties with
a case of medicines and surgical in-
struments in one hand and a. buckskin
bag, for gold dust in the Other. As
there is very little money in the camp,
gold dust forms the principal medium
of exchange, and each time the doctor
calls upon a patient he is given enough
nuggets to pay the bill. When Mr.
Metcalf left Dawson the doctor had not
had time toarrange a schedule of.
prices, but he thinks a tariff sheet
made up as folloWs would not be far
out of the way:

“ THE TURKEYBUZZARD. ,,
A Repulsival‘iird in Appearance but of
Great Use as n Scavenger.
The turkey buzzard is most repulsive
in appearance, its featherless neck
having a plucked effect which no doubt
its name denotes, the buzzard is not
unlike a turkey, but its dusty, un-
kempt appearance is 3 gr eat contrast
to our well-groomed, dignified kings of
the barnyard whose namesakes they
are. The turkey buzzard has, him-
ever, one point of beauty that de-
serves mention—his flight. He is the
embodiment of winged gracefulness
He spreads his wings and floats, seem-
ingly motionless, a black object
against the azue of the Southern sky,
too far away for the watcher to note
his ugliness. Without motion of the
'wings he rises or ascends at will, a.
pair of dusky pinions resting on the
sultry air. You watch him breathless-
ly until he descends, When the spell is
broken, for repulsive and ungainly he
stands revealed—the scavengei‘ of the
tropics. Yet this poor, ugly, ungainly.
bird has his uses. Without him the
South would be a sorry victim of fevers
and diseases bred from offal festering
under the fierce tropical sun. As a
scavenger he is invaluable, and the law
protects him as he plies the calling for
which he was created.— P1 ov1dence

The rector put his hand into his. waist-

consists of a wagon something similar

resting on posts, capable of extension.
A cannon for shooting sand rests on the
platform. The force required to throw

and the cannon is Operated by one
man. This curious—looking “cannon”
fire engine is propelled through the
streets by means of a gasoline engine,

Sir Walter Scott’s father, who was
an elder of the church, and of course
zealousfcr King George and the Gov-
ernment, once received day" after day
a mysterious visitor on legal business,
who came much muffled up and stayed ‘
till a late hour. Mrs. Scott, Sir Wal-
ter’s mother, was eager to know who
this stranger was, but her husband 3.1-.
ways gave evasive replies to her ques-
tions. One evening, _howevel, she at—
tained her‘endjby penetrating to her
husband’s room with a tray, and per-I
suading the client to take tea. Mr.
Scott was perceptibly angry, and would
not join them. After the stranger had
gone,.Mr. Scott took up the cup that.
that he had used, and” carrying it to ,_
the window, tossed it out upon the
pavement. “I can forgive your little
curiosity, madam,”’,he said, “but you
mus-t pay the penalty. I may admit
into my house on a piece of business
persons wholly unworthy to be treat-
ed as guests by my wife. Neither lip
of me nor of mine comes after Mr...
Murray of Brou'ghton’s.” The mys—

WAR CAUSED BY A. SINGLE WORD.
The Lack of (hie "'Et Cetera” Incensed
the King of Sweden. ‘
In 1654 a Polish nobleman became
obnoxious to the laws of his,” country
by reason of a crime. . He fled to Swe-
d-en, says London Answers, whereupon
Joihn Cassimir, king of Poland, wrote
to Charles Gustavus, king of Sweden,
demanding the extradition of the
criminal. The king of. Sweden, on
reading the dispatch, noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two et cete1 as, while the name of the
king of Poland was followed by three.
The missing et cetera so enraged the
king 0f Sweden that he at once de-
clared war against Poland. This war
was carried on with great bitterness
until 1060, when a peace was signed
at Oliva, near Dantzig., A contempor-
ary writer, Kochowsky, poured out his
lamentations on the war in these
terms: “How dear has this et cetera
been to us! ,W‘ith how many lives
have these two pot-entates paid for
these missing eight letters! With
what streams of blood has the failure
of a few drops of ink been avenged!”
In article three “of the t1 ea‘ty it was
explicitly laid down that the custom of
shortening titles by “yet ceteration"
should still hold good, but for the
future each of'the two parties should
give the other three et ceteras.
