The effect an advertisement has upon
the reader is very well illustrated by the
following, as related In the Mechanical
Net0S:
A wealthy man who owns country
residence recently became dissatisfied
with 1t, and determined to have
another. So he instructed real estate
agent famous for his descriptive powers
to advertise it in the papers at private
sale, but to conceal the location, telling
purchasers to apply at his office. In a
few days the gentleman happened 10
see the advertisement. was pleased with
the account of the place, showed 1t to
his wife, and the two concluded it was
Just what they wanted, and that they
would secure it at once. So he went
to the Office Of the agent and told him
that the place he had advertised was
such a one as he desired and he would
purchase it. The agent burst into a
laugh, and told him that was descrip-
tion of his own house where he was
then living. He read the advertise
ment again, cogitated over the ''grassy
slopes" beautiful yistas," ''smooth
lawns" etc., and broke out. sis it

One only has to search the columns
of our and other leading dailies dating
from the 1st to get particulars of one
OF the foulest, most inhumane and
ridiculous crimes ever committed in
this country. One r. r. Howes, has
been found guilty. by the jury of

from the city. The wife was found by
dragging in Lakeview Lake, with
railroad iron ties around her person.
Lakeview is 6 or 7 miles from East
Lake, q from the city. Howes was
married to popular lady OF Columbus,
Miss, and arrested here enroute to Au-
gusta the same day Of marriage, being
taken from the side of his newly got
ten wife. The finding of the body Of
Mrs. Howes caused the widest excite
ment. Judge Lynch called on Col.
Mob, as usual in such cases, and would
have been gratified by Col. M, if 1t
had not been for Sheriff Smith-and
his determined posse.
The mob approached the jail premi-
ses, and advanced nearer and nearer.
until warned back by Sheriff Smith
and other cool.heads. No attention

and they got SO uncolnfortably close,
with wild threats etc., Sheriff
Smith decided to stop them. Well, he
succeeded; but. 1t was after six or seven
men, including one of the most promi-
nent, and highly respected citizens, in
the person of Post Master Throck-
morton, had fallen, fatally wounded.
This caused bitter feelings against

daylight attack, but the State Militia

and at the present writing, the city is

in young, busy place like this.

THE MODERN LOBBYIST.
A Picture Which Is Not Intended to
Tickle the Readers Imagination.

The washington lobbyist. He is
nothing like he's represented. He is
not what he used to be. The French
artist for Harper's represents a mar
leaning back in his chair, with his hat
on one side, and cigar held carelessly
between his fingers. while he coolly
blows curls Of smoke up to the ceiling.
A diamond sparkles on his shirt front,
and champagne sparkles in the glass on
the table. 1.-The Lobbyist" he calls
1t. 1t suits the popular idea, but I sus-
pect the subject of the artlst's sketch
was an M. G. from the Pacific Slope.
The lobbyist Of to-day don't wear
diamonds. He don't swagger and puff
smoke in. members faces. If he drinks
champagne, it is on the quiet. 1t Is a
mistake to think that his pockets are
bursting with money, which he spends
with lavish hand. Graclousl this is
no more like the lobbyist of to-day
than the stage detective is like the
genuine article.
The typical lobbyist I see every day
at the Capitol is plain man. He is
unassuming, poorly dressed, and.
withal, meek and lowly. He does not
slap members on the shoulders and ask
them to drink. He does not treat them
to champagne suppers or champagne
lunches. He makes no display OF
wealth. He does not come upon the
floor of the House to talk with men,
bers much. nor does he walk through
the corridors of the Capitol with an air
OF ownership. He is granger. from
tiersman-looklng fellow. His trousers
are bagged at the knees and wrinkled
at the bottom, from having been worn
in the tops of his cowhide boots. If he
wears a "biled Shirt" it is soiled, and
his face is not shaved often enough to
greatly affect his appearance. Ills
business with Congress relates to the
public domain. He is interested in
some way in the Territories, mo Mans
Land, rand Oklahoma. Of "Fordiplomatlc
reasons he is got up to represent an
''actual settler" with an honest desire
to get possession of the legal 16O acres
and to dig livelihood for a growing
family out of the soil. He manages to
stay at Washington at considerable ex-
pense from the first Monday in Decen-
ber until the adjournment Of Congress,
without serious Inconvenience to him.
self. He is an anti-monOpolist and an
"actual settler" His pockets are not
full of money; they are bulging with
petitions signed by other "actual set
tlers.' 1t is to the Committee that he
directs his attentions, and 1t Is matter
of precaution not to make his face too
familiar to members on the floor. He
is generally quite clever at figures, for
a frontiersman, and he furnishes men,
bers of the Committee In which he Is
interested with facts and statistics they
might not otherwise obtain. He does
not look especially bright; that is not
his business. He, is simple, plain,
honest settlerl
He divides his time between the
Committee on Territories and the Pub
lie Lands Committee.
The lobbyist that popular impression
depicts could never overcome the pre-
judices Of these men. The ''actual
settler" disguise is the most successful
Of the day.

Chinese by the laws Of the United st tea,
nor that they have been denied or OBJ
structed in their access to avenues of public
remedial justice, which are open to all per-
sons alike without distinction of race or
nationality. But the fact remains that
there has been a failure of justice in the
repression and punishment of crime and
lawless violence, of which Chinese were
the victims owing to the mingled causes Of
race prejudice or labor rivalry, their pecu-
liar habits and segregation from other
nationalities. The ill-treatment to which
Chinese laborers have been subjected by
lawless and cruel men in certain scantily
settled and remote regions of our iurisdic-
ton, where they are practically beyond
the reach of the protecting arm Of the law,
has been subject Of Just complaint by
their government, as we'll as modification
and sorrow to our own.
The stipulations of our treaty with
China does not demand the enactment or
enforcement of laws discriminating in favor
of Chinese subjects in the United States,
nor does il entitle them to greater or other
protection than is accorded to citizens Of
the most favored nation. Tried by this
test, the Chinese, in all casSs of injury to
their person or property, are equal before
the laws Of this country to the citizens Of
any other most favored nation, and GER

TRAIN WRECKED
On the Michigan Central Near Chicago.
Gross Carlessness.

On the Michigan Central Near Chicago,
Gross Carlessness.
CHICAGO, March 23.-The fast freight
express on the Michigan Central railroad,
which leaves this city at p m, met with
a serious accident last evening at cross,
ing little south of Burnside. A Toledo,
Wabash and Western freight train ran
into the rear sleeper of the passenger train
while under full headway. Many passen-
gers were injured, several seriously. The
sleeper was derailed and almost entirely
demolished. Several cars on the freight
train were telescoped. The engineer and
fireman on the freight leaped to save their
lives. There is q net of intersecting tracks
where the wreck occurred. The Michigan
Central had the right of way, and neglect
Of this rule brought about the collision.
The gates were down as usual and the
signal light displayed. The Express was
crossing the tracks of the Wabash and
Western when the freight train under full
head broke through the gates and crushed
into it. The engine struck the sleeper di-
rectly in the middle, nearly cut it in two,
tore it from its coupling and threw il from
the tracks. The engine was derailed
Three or four freight cars were tele'coped
and piled upon it. Meanwhile passengers
who were buried in the wreck of the sleeper
were shouting for help. Traipmen pro-
cured lanterns and dragged from the
wreck a dozen persons. Five were ser
iously hurt, but none fatally. The names
of two Of the wounded persons are c. C.
HOgle, of 29i East Twenty street, and
G. A. Magoon, of MuskegoD. All the pas
sengers wounded otherwise were put ON
the Express train, which proceeded within
an hOnr after the accident. The names of
the other persons coull not be procured
owing to the efforts of the railroad people
to suppress the particulars. 1t was re-
ported that one man was fatally hurt.
