AS an evidence of MI. Snodgrass'

The report comes from Washington
that Congressman Snodgrass has rig.
ged himself up with the follwing ap-
parel-Spring attire, viz white plug
hat, blue shirt, red tie, short square
cut coat, large striped pants, red low
cut shoes, blue stockings and a very
large diamond or imitation diamond
shirt stud. Thus attired he went over
to the White House the other morning
to see Grover, Of course. He was duly
admired with the rest of the crowd and
was standing in an ''out of the wav''
corner waiting for his turn to speak
to his Highness. Grover cast his eve
about the room and spied the distin-
guished representative. He (Grover)
was then noticed to call an usher
to him and the following conversation
took place:
Grover-"Who and what's that man
over therep and who admitted him OF
allowed him to come in here?"
The Usher-"That is Congressman
Snodgrass.
Grover mot understanding)-''Came
in on what Congressman's pass?"
Usher (explaining)-'Tha is Con-
gresham Snodgrass, of Tennessee"

represents

The Chattanooga Times is trying
to make for itself a bit of notoriety
just now by abusing Hon. H. Clay
Evans. MI. Evans is yet filling the
position of First Assistant Post
master General, and the Times is
terribly worked up over it and de-
plores the fact that the papers of
some Democratic applicant for a
Tennessee postofice may be handled
by Mr., Evans. In the issue of last
Sunday it informs the public that
Representative Snodgrass-Snoddy
has sent to the President and Post
master General letters of protest
