LOOKS LIKE A FAKE.
Glowing Inducements to Laborers Where No Demand for Them Really Exists-ltS
 Origin as Yet Unknown.

There is fraudulent circular being distributed in this city and around the suburbs which is calculated to inveigle many unemployed men into going to At lanta to obtain work at big figures when in fact none can be had. Early Friday morning an Age-Herald reporter picked up one of the circulars, which was lying on the sidewalk, and pronounced it q fake. The circular is printed in bold type as follows:
 .Wanted-At the Cotton States and ln- ternational Exposition grounds at At lanta, Ga, 1000 laborers to work on grade, $1.50 a day; 800 carpenters at standard wages (for building); 200 bricklayers at union prices-pay every Saturday night People wanting employment apply for same Monday, May 27, 1895, when they will be put to work. Call on Edward Powers, Exposition Grounds, Atlanta Ga
 A telegram was immediately sent to the manager of the Cotton States and In ternational exposition asking if the ad- vertisement of Edward Powers for la borers, carpenters and brcklayers was genuine.
 Yesterday morning the following tel egram was received:
 Atlanta, Ga. May IS. Age-Herald Birmingham:
 elul OI last lllSul TeCGlNeu. ne advertisement is without foundation. We need neither bricklayers. carpenters or laborers.
 Cotton States and International Exposi- tion GRANT WATKINS,
 Chief of Construction. Thus it will be seen that some person Is wilfully trying to induce the unem- ployed to go to Atlanta, and if this is being done with any intent other than to get them to take advantage of an ex- cursion rate, the same as yet has not come to light.
 During yesterday several telegrams were sent to Edward Powers at Atlanta asking If he was advertising for laborers, sbrlcklayers and carpenters. The At lanta office endeavored to deliver the tel egrams, but no one knew of any such man.
 The whole advertisement is evidently a fraud, and it is but useless to say that all who follow it's bidding will be very very sorry.

A Railroad Surgeon Misses Bank Roll and
 Two Passes
 Among the veterans who arrived in the city last night en route to Houston was Dr. w. H. Philpot of Talbotton, Ga When he arrived here and went to the ticket office to get a ticket he found his wallet and contents, about $65 and two railroad passes, gone. On the train were two men who had gained the confidence of the doctor and his companions, and it is presumed they got the poodle. The men were noticed acting queer in the city and spotted, but finding this to be the fact skipped. The doctor left after mid night for Texas minus money and passes, and will, no doubt watch out for other sbunco" men.

 Senate Did Him Honor.

Senate Did Him Honor.
 The other evening Colonel Ochiltree was seated in tho cafo of tho Waldorf hotel, Now York, with Senator Jones of Nevada, ex-Governor Hogg of Texas, Senator Brice or Ohio and some others. Some pretty good stories had been told, when suddenly Colonel Ochiltrec blurted out: Did any of you fellows ever have leg islature adjourn on your account?n There was Q profound silence. "Of course" said Colonel Ochiltrce, "I know that is a courtesy that is granted when legislator dies, but see you arc all hero in the flesh.
 No one made any comment, and then Colonel Ochiltreo said, "Wcll, the Texas legislature adjourned in order that tho members might meet me the last time that was there. ''
 There was dignifled pause, and then one of tho members of the party suggested that the Texan while not telling Il false hood, was handling the truth very lightly. For reply Colonel Ochiltrcc pulled paper out of his pocket. It was tho record of the session of tho senate of the Texas legisla- ture for Feb 20. IIo read slowly the fol- lowing portion of the minutes
 Pending discussion, by unanimous consent, Senator Crowley sent up the following resolu- tion:
 Whereas, The Hon. Thomas P. Ochiltree a distinguished citizen of tho state of New York and an ex-mcmbcr of congress from the state of Texas is at present visiting the capitol; therefore be it
 Resolved, That he be invited to a scat on the floor of the senate within the bar thereof
 Adopted.
 After lengthy discussion and pending fur ther action Senator Simpson offered the fol- lowing:
 Whereas, Tho Hon. Thomas P. Ochiltree of New York has been granted the privileges of the floor of this senate; and Whereas, Tho honorable gentleman has ar quired a worldwide reputation Il raconteur and prince of good follows and,
 Whereas, Many members would like to form his acquaintance; therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That the senate stand adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to give them the opportunity
 Adopted and tho senate adjourned.
 When Colonel Ochiltrcc ceased reading, some ono asked to sec tho record. It was duly inspected and found to be genuine No one made comment, but all silently blinkcd at the Texan statesman as he said, "Mino is apollinaris. '-Now York Tri5- une.
