The Woman Lobbyist in Washington.

There are some hctions concerning
the Capitol at Washington. Among
them is one that the woman lobbyist
is power, and that her wiles and arts
are successfully employed on the most
eminent statesmen in Congress.
1t is true that there are women
lobbyists, and that some of them years
ago were eminently successful. There
is nothing, however, SO false as the
idea that the woman lobbyist is fire.
quent spectacle, or that she has now
any influence whatever on Congress
men or on legislation. The average
Congressman is respectable and self
respecting man. 1t must be borne in
mini that most members of the House
of Representatives and of the Senate
come from rural communities, and, as
a rule, no man can be chosen from a
rural community to respectable pub.

parently, walk in the paths OF propri.

torney, would warn him off. Some
times poor, broken-down, wronged,
and inexperienced claimant, with just

fall into the hands of the fair harpie

THE SHIvERING TRAMP AT LAST FIND!
A SYMPATHIzING WOMAN.

From the Detroit Free Press
"Could you give me something to
eat, ma'am1" asked a tramp at a
house on Lafayette evenue.
"No," answered the woman at the
door curtly, "we've nothing for
tramps.'
"rhank you, ma'am," and he turned
meekly away, drawing the skirt of a
wretched coat about him to keep out
the cold, binding storm.
81 might give you some old clothes
if you wait until l can pick them out"
said the woman, moved by the appear
ance Of the forlorn figure.
He waited outside with the thermo-
meter near zero, waited a long time,
and whistled "Annie Laurie" for com
pany.
Then the woman of the house return
ed, opened the door a crack, and
handed him out a linen duster and a
Straw hat
"Thank you, ma'am,' said the
tramp gratefully; "there is just one
thing more"
1--WE haven't any drinking water
the pipes are frozcn," she interrupted.
'No, ma'am but il | might make
so bold as to ask for an old fan. 1t
would go so beautifully with this sui,
of clothes"
But she said that she drew the line
at fans, and shut the door in his face.

President Harrison has taken good

Halford, by appointing him to pay
master vacancy in the army, a life
position which carries with it the pay

The Office by rights should go to some
deserving officer of the army, and pro-
motion is very slow just now; but in
this, as in a good many other things,
the President shows he regards the
Office as in the nature of a private
