Feminine Lobbyists.
[Ben: Poreley Poorel
The lady lobbyists have played important
parts in the social life of Washington, es-
teciaIly since the Buchanan administration
Some of them have been the widows of Off
.els Of the army or the navy; others have
oeen the daughters Of congressman, and
others have drifted here from home localities
where they had found themselves the sub
jects of scandalous comments. A few, Of
them have been very beautiful, some had
scorched their wings on il-ighted torches,
and they have generally been very clever.
It has been their business to SO ingratiate
themselves with senators and representatives
rs to control their votes on matters which
they have been paid to advocate OF to OPP
pose Failing in this they have sometimes
managed to secure the absence of opponents
of the bills which they had been retained to
advocate by ingenious schemes.
They looked at every question before con-
Eress from business standpoint, and their
smiles were for those whose votes were doubt
lul. To them the highest compliments and
most honeyed phrases were thrown away, for
hey knew their vanity. They "meant bust
ness" The parlors Of some of these danes
ave been exquisitely furnished with works

was always an adjournment to the dining
room, where choice supper was served. A
cold duck, venison pie, broiled oysters, or
some one exquisitely cooked dish with salads
and cheese, generally constituted the repast,
with iced champagne or burgundy at blood
heat. Who could blame the congressman for
leaving the bad cooking of their hotel or
boarding house, with an absence of all home
comforts, to walk into the parlor web which

AUGUSTA, July 3.-The villainous crew
who infest the environments of the National
Soldiers Home, at Togus, selling rum and
indulging in all manner of wrongful prac-
tices are again showing their hand. About
a week ago Mr.. ii. w. Clark. an officer who
has been unusually diligent in driving the
liquor sellers to the wall, lost valuable
horse, which was at pasture. He was satis-
fed that the animal was poisoned. at the
time, but the circumstances were such that
it was impossible to discover the offender.
Mr.. Clark last Saturday purchased another
horse to replace the one which had died.
On Monday night Officer Clark in company
with Deputy Sheriff Ames were out on the
famous Hallowell road in search after Of
tenders against the liquor law and hitched
their horses in the vicinity of the Downs
House, where Malloy was shot. They left
their teams about two hours and when they
returned. Clark's horse gave lurch and fell
to the ground, dying in few moments. An
examination of the horses stomach was
made today and unmistakable signs of
poison discovered. 1t is believed that the
poisoning is the work of some of the Togus
rumselers and no effort will be spared to
applehend the guilty one

Judge Symond's Grafton at Bates
College.
Lewiston Journal. |

lhCWiSbOu JOuIudl.l
Few public speakers in Maine have bet
ter control of pure English than Judge
Joseph W. Symonds. of Portland. The ideal
of an orator in bearing and in gesture, his
infection is perfect and his tones modulated
and musical. If anything, he is the admired
of the scholarly and critical, rather than Of
the average listener. He talks particularly
to the subject, yet sacrifices nothing to
rhetorical fireworks. His sentences are
long and intricate, and his ideas lucid and
full of point.
Judge Symonds delivered an address before
the united literary societies of Bates College
on Thursday evening-the closing public ex-
ercises of the week.
He was introduced to the audience by the
president of the literary societies. and spoke
for forty minutes. His address should have
been heard by every Undergraduate and
young college man in the country. An alb
stract does 1t no justice. He prefaced his re-
marks by an expression OF pride In the well
fare of Bates and a satisfaction at the good
work the college seems to be doing. He an
nounced no definite subject, but took for a
text the remark of Emerson in an essay on
Henry David Thoreau, the naturalist, ,recluse,
poet and author and the sage of Walden,
that 'man gathers in the earlier years of his
life the material for palace, and in middle
life builds him woodshed."
Out of this text. the speaker considered In
an analytic way the topic of the Dreamer. In
many points it recalled the visionary treat
Use of Hezekiah Butterworth, delivered in
the same place, under the same circum-
stances, a few years ago, although treated
from wholly different standpoint, and in
an entirely different way. AT this time of
the year, particularly, the young men who
are graduating from the college are wonder
ing from the future has in store for them.
They have built palace out of their fancy,
and wait for time to decorate 1t. Most men
have ideals, and it was this in the abstract
that the speaker wished to consider.
In point Judge Symonds urged, in magni-
ficient diction, the need of good aims and
lofty ideals, but beyond this the need that
every young man should live in the present
The opportunities of the life of the world
were pointed out. The demands of the
times; the perils Of the nation; the needs Of
the world and its work are all that young
men should not content themselves with
dreaming, but should live in all the activity
of the world. A life well lived Is better
than a life well dreamed.
