Treason Amongst Polish Students

NEW YORK, Nov 12.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the London Times and
the New York Times says that the trial
of Polish students has just ended at
Posen. The court found that a league
of Polish students was in existence with
the ultimate object of re .estab blishing
the kingdom of Poland. Its operations
were therefore reasonable. The court
based its conclusions on the fact that
the so called New York; Polish treas.
ure existed in Switzerland and that con-
tributions for their fund were collected
from the students.

house, near Elizabethton, was killed
yesterday by pistol shot fired by Frank
Kidwell of South Watauga, who imme.

Kidwell went to Ranges schoolhouse,
near Elizabethton, at noon, and called
Miss Thompson out, telling her that she
was wanted by her parents at home.
After getting short distance from the
schoolhouse and, it is said, without any
provocation whatever, he pulled re-.
volver and shot Miss Thompson through
the heart, killing her instantly.
Kidwell then placed the revolver to
his own breast and pulled the trigger.
He also died instantly.
Miss Thompson was about % years
old and Kidwell 21. Both parties be-.
longed to good families.
1t is said the only motive Kidwell had
for killing Miss Thompson and taking
his own life was her refusal of his offer

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the

them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the

come to look for some member, whose
name he gives, and he is allowed to en-
ter. No dynamite scare has arisen for
number of years; and even when the
whole country is fancying that some
kind of outrage is about to occur, the
private-secretaries of members of par
lament could hardly be excluded upon
the ground that they might be in league
with the Irish "physical force brother
hood" Excluded from the sacred
members lobby, however, they are, un-
less their chiefs are ministers of the
crown, and the usually accepted reason
is that the line must be drawn, some
where. If the public were admitted in
discriminatory, the unfortunate member
would especially if he represented a
London constltuency-be worried almost
to death by his supporters who would
come to him upon every conceivable
mission. There would not even be
standing room in the small members
lobby, and cabinet ministers life
would be greater burden to him than
any man can bear. These facts explain
why the whole house supports the SER
geant- alarms in the strict manner in
which he keeps the lobby clear of
strangers.
Object of the the Lobby.
What, it may be asked by those who
are ignorant of English party politics
and who cannot make out how "things
get into the newspapers"-what is the
use and object of this lobby which it is
such privilege for anybody, except a
chosen few, to enter? Well, the lobby
has it's various uses and usages. 1t can
still boast of a neat little bar-a bar
where good alcoholic liquors can be OBJ
tanned at very moderate price, to-
gether with various edibles, such as
hard-boiled eggs and sandwiches. At
this bar, it is but fair to say, there has
never been much treating, nor much
prolonged drinking. Occasionally a
wearied legislator would in the inter-
walls Of debate, or after making a speech,
rush out, eat few mouthfuls Of food,
and drink perhaps small brandy and
Soda favorite English beverage. Mr..
Balfour, now first lord Of the treasury
was, few years ago, almost daily
visitor at the bar. When secretary for
Ireland, he would glide out Of the
chamber after the storm and stress of
question time, and would restore the
inner man with glass of wine and a
biscuit-what we call 'cracker"- "-o1
with a cup of the black tea, SO popular
in the British Isles. In these few mo-
ments he always had kind word fol
any member who might wish for q

concerning "cave" or revolt finds cur
rency here, if anywhere. A certain
amount of this gossip is well-founded,
although the ministers invariably de-
scribe it either as"totally unfounded''or
"quite inaccurate" But everybody
knows that this reputation of what is
often the truth is due to the dislike,
shared by all cabinets, of having their
programmes and policy forestalled. Few
ministers or members of the govern
ment, with the exception of the 'whips,"
who are, of course, there to prevent
members escaping from divisions, are
habltue's Of the lobby. They sometimes
pass through it, looking-or trying to
look-oppressed with national RESPONSE
bilities, always walking fast, and usu-
ally having an armful of books and
papers. They are occasionally called
out Of the house to consult with some
member of the so-called upper chamber,
the House of Lords; but more frequently
they may be seen hurrying to and from
the chief whips private room. There
is, however, very little opportunity to
stop a cabinet minister in the lobby and
ask him for an explanation of the min
isterial policy. Nor do the ex- ministers
affect the lobby to any extent. The
late Mr. Gladstone, for example, was
not visible there once in year, while
| Sir William Harcourt, Mr.. John Nor
ley, Mr.. Bryce and Sir George Trevelyan
were hardly more frequent visitors. Of
the most unfamiliar figures in the ter
ritory of the house of commons, the
Premier, Lord Salisbury, takes the first
place. Perhaps he got tired of it's pre-
cincts when, as Lord Robert Cecil, he
was member Of the elected assembly.
From 1890 to year or two ago the most
constant attendants in the lobby were
Sir Richard Temple, whose remarkable
figure Punch so dearly loved to carica-
Miner and Mr.. Lowther, the last three
Opportunity for Character Study.
A few hours in lobby land when some
important party question is expected to
"come on' in the course of the evening
(the house does not meet till four in the
afternoon, will give an excellent idea of
the personal side Of the lower branch of
Great Britain's legislature. 1t has in
spired the pen of many ynewspaper-men;
for the lobby is sometimes far more in

benches, it's bored occupants, and it's
hesitating speakers who are merely kill
ing time, chiefly because they believe
that their constituents like to see por-
tions of their diatribes in the daily
papers.
The lobby may be seen to advantage
in the earlier hours of the parliamentary
day, especially at about five o'clock, i'm
mediately after the ministers have
passed through the ordeal of question
time. The last question on the list hav-
ing been disposed of, members leave the
chamber for short breathing space and
the buzz of many voices sounds in the
ear. But the members lobby is seen at
it's very best at the conclusion of some
great party contest; or when pre-
eminent debater, having resumed his

away by reduction of the number of
drinking places in a city. The weather
was sultry at the time and the debate
was often fiery. A great deal is chang
ed now. The lobby bar, with it's dry
sherry, it's rice puddings-cold, of course,
and it's biscuits is being swept away.
The house determined, after full con-
sideration, to relegate it to more Sec
luded spot within the walls of the Pal
ace of Westminster.
House of Commons Lobby
The house Of commons lobby is a kind
of recreation ground where members of
parliament may take little moderate
exercise. The air there is perhaps
purer and fresher in hot summer wealth
er than it is in the chamber itself, and
there is room to walk up and down.
On days when an important division
is expected the government whips spend
most of their time in this lobby; and
some members, notably Mr.. Broadhurst
and Mr.. Burt, clearly affect it's tesselat-
ed pavement for ambulatory purposes.
Although the terrace overlooking the
river Thames is better adapted for hy-
gienic pursuits, it has lately become un-
popular owing to the supposed preva-
lence of the much dreaded "grip" mi
crobe upon the bank of London's s river.
Moreover, the lobby seems to possess a
sort Of pacifying and softening inf1u-
ence. Partisans, who in the chamber
itself seem to be on the most strained
terms, and who often hurl defiance at
one another across the narrow space
which separates the two hostile armies,
meet in the lobby and enter into amica-
BILE conversation. 1t is here that the
''dyed-in- the wool" tory asccosts the
''little Englander" and most likely
greets him with friendly smile. Men
seem glad to lay aside the ground of
partisanship in the lobby, as well as in
the eating and smoking rooms of the
house. One may see such political op-
ponents as Mr. Labouchere and Sir John
Gorst in affable conversation; while
that violent Irishman, when in the
chamber, Mr.. Tim Healy, talks pleas
antly to a conservative, Mr.. Walter
Long. 1t is almost certain, however,
that the Hibernian representative will
in his next platform speech describe the
action of Her Majesty's government as
detestable, and the editor Of "Truth'
(Mr. Labouchere) is not unlikely tc
compare Mr.. Chamberlain to Judas
Iscariot with an apology to the latter
