THE OLD FARMER.-A Southern paper
tells a story of a Chattanooga, Tenn,
merchant who installed a telephone
near the front door Of his shop and
one morning stepped up to the trans
mitter to answer a call. Just at that
moment a North Georgia farmer who
had never seen a telephone before
came into the place and inquired
"Wanter buy any aigs?" The mer-
chant, who was intent upon getting
his message, gazed abstractedly at the
farmer and told the phone, II can't
hear YOU"
"Wanter buy any aigs?" shouted the
farmer in a voice that made the win
man who was calling him, the mer-
chant again remarked, this time with
out looking at the farmer, Il can't
hear you! Speak louder" For the
third time the farmer spoke, roaring
out his previous question so loud that
people several blocks away stopped and
asked what the trouble was. This had
the desired effect. The merchant left
the telephone, forgetting his call, and
turning savagely on the intruder, re-
marked, mo! damn it, don't want
any eggs!"
The farmer smiled, and as he went
out was heard to remark softly, II new
er did see one o. them def fellers but
whut could make 'em hear II I only
let myself out"

c0NeRESSMEN WHO BOARD.
Little or Much Which Can Be Spent by Then
In Washington.

Four-fifths of the congressman, in
cluding both senators and representa-
tives, live either at hotels or boarding
houses, though the proportion of house
holders among members Of the upper
house Is much larger, partly because
they are elected for six years and sc
have a certainty Of longer residence 1r
Washington to make 1t worth While
for them to establish their lares ano
penates on a permanent footing at the
capital.
Unless the legislator has means out
side Of his salary he can hardly aIoro
to set up housekeeping on his own ac-
count, because Of the many demands
he is required to meet under such cir
cumstances, especially In the way OF
entertaining. If he is a senator ano
keeps house he must give reception
once a week during the season, tC
which every chance conner is supposed
to be invited. He will have to keep uI
appearances in a general way on
scale appropriate to his position, and
he soon finds his expenses outrunnine
the $1,000 per annum which Uncle Sam
pays him.
1t is hardly possible for member OF
congress to make any figure In the So
cial life of Washington on less than
$50, 900 a year, and he may easily spend
s1OO, 900 per annum without immoder-
ate display. On the other hand the
poor man who comes to Washington
as legislator may get along on very
little money indeed. 1t is not true as
commonly alleged that Washington is
an expensive place to live In, unless
one chooses to make it so. Rents are
decidedly low, and on Capitol HILL
which is the cheap end of the town, q
nice house may be rented for $50 to $55
month. Many representatives pay
not more than $40 a week for board
and lodging, and a decent room, with
meals, may be obtained for as little as

ABLE TO HEAR.-It Is well known
that Joseph Medill, Of the Chicago
Tribune, was somewhat deaf, although
his ability at times to hear what was
said in an ordinary tone Of voice was
frequently remarked.
It is related Of him that he dropped
into the business department Of the Of
flee one day to make an inquiry about
something that had occurred to him,
and a young man who had been in his
employ only a few months undertook
In a loud tone Of voice to enlighten
him..
What did you say?" asked Mr.. Me-
dill, putting his hand to his ear.
The young man repeated the Ques-
tion in a still louder voice.
II can't hear you," said the editor.
"Oh, chase yourself around the block
you old granny" muttered the impa-
tient employee just above his breath
II am not an old granny" said Mr.,
Medill, turning away, land I shall not
chase myself around the block"
The fresh young man made immedi-
ate arrangements to say goodbye to his
job, but the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had received
was sufficient and did not disturb him

JUSTICE BREWER ON LYNCH LAW.
"Spasmodic Virtue Is the Poorest Virtue Any
One Can Have"

One Can Have"
Lynch law may now be said to have
become almost habit Of the American
people. Lynch law is blot, a terrible
blot, on our national life. 1t used to
be said that it was one Of the worst
evidences Of the lawlessness that pre-
vailed in our frontier life. I have seen
It operate in such communities, soci-
ETY. where the machinery Of the law
was not yet in full operation. But
now, alas, young men, scarcely day
passes that we do not learn that the
people have taken the law into their
own hands, as the remark is, some
where in the country.
"There is a form of disobendence to
constituted authority which has be-
come perilous and which Is freighted
with danger. I refer to the troubles
known as strikes. AS the employers
may act in q body so may the en-
ployes treat with them as a body. II
compulsory arbitration become law
they may possibly be coerced. If 1t be
wise political economy to combine and
nobody be permitted to work until he
IS member Of the organized body, then
let there be such an enactment in law.
But until there Is such a law there
must be no curtailment of the inalien-
able rights of the people. We have to-
day in Kansas another picture, that In
which a community has risen In indig-
nation and is destroying saloons.
"Now there is q wave Of spasmodfc
virtue and Mrs. Carrie Nation hopes to
succeed John Brown. But spasmodic
virtue is the poorest virtue any one can
have. It Is next door to Intentional
vice. 1t may be that for little while
there will be great effort to stop the
sale of liquor and saloons will be clos
ed, but the ultimate result will be that
officers Of the law who have been de-
linuuent in their duties and the COM
munities generally will become more
Indifferent. Ten years from now con-
ditions will be worse than they have
been."-Address at Yale.

THE STATE OF CUBA.
This Fixes the Relation Of the Island to the
United States.

The senate committee on relations
with Cuba, on last Monday, agreed to
the following as an amendment to the
army appropriation bill, and which is
and in no danger Of serious opposition
on the part Of the Democrats:
That in fulfillment Of the declaration
contained in the joint resolution ap-
proved April 20, 1858. entitled "for the
recognition Of the independence of the
people of Cuba, demanding that the
government of Spain relinquish its au-
thority and government in the island
of Cuba, and to withdraw it's land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters. and directing the president of
the United States to use the land and
naval forces of the United States to
carry these resolutions into effect" the
president is hereby authorized to leave
the government and control of the is
land of Cuba to it's people so soon as a
government shall have been establish
ed in said island under a constitution
which, either as part thereof or in
an ordinance appended thereto, shall
define the future relations of the Uni
ted States with Cuba, substantially as
follows:
l. That the government of Cuba
shall never enter into any treaty or
other compact with any foreign power
or powers which will impair or tend to
impair the independence of Cuba, nor
in any manner authorize or permit any
foreign power or powers to obtain by
colonization, or for military or naval
purposes or otherwise, lodgment in, or
control over any portion of said island.
2. That said government shall not

IRISH LINEN LOSING GROUND.
French and American Manufacturers Getting
Hold Of the Market Here.

From the New York Sun.
Linen Of domestic manufacture and
still more, linen made in France, are
together making a strong fight In the
American market against the Irish
linen, which for years has been accept
ed as the best and finest manufactured
in the world, and importers say thai
the Irish linen is losing ground. Ir
France just as fine linen is being made
now as in Ireland, and 1t Is much better
in design, because while the conserva'
tive Irishmen stick to the patterns they
have been using for the last so years
the French manufacturers are employ
ing artists who have produced very
much handsomer designs.
The Frenchmen are handicapped ir
their attempt to get first place In the
American market, however, by trying
to introduce a new fashion here. In.
stead of making up their linen in indi,
vidual pieces they manufacture 1t In
lengths, intending that a section as
long as may be desired shall be cut of
by the retailer when making sale
and as this chops into the pattern g
great many housewives don't care to
buy their linen in this way.
In the English market the attempt
to sell linen in this way has been g
failure but in this country, where new
ideas have a better chance than ir
England, the manufacturers have no,
given up the attempt Of making the
purchase Of linens in lengths fashion
able.
German made linen has the poorest
reputation in the American market, as
it is starched and artificially thickened
so that while it looks we'll when new
it does not stand the test Of wash
ing. It Is the cheap but dishonest linen
which the American made article is
driving out Of the market.
Climate largely influences the color
of new linen, and therefore while do
mestic made linen has not yet acquir-
ed the snowy whiteness Of Irish and
French linen, it can be sold more
cheaply, and unlike the German linen
improves with use.
