AGAINST THE LOBBY.

The defeat of The Smith anti
lobby bill in the Senate yesterday Is
surprising. but it indicates tn"
power Of the individuals who con
stitute what is styled the Third
House at Baton Rouge.
The influence Of these profess
ional lobbyists who represent va
rious interests who have been and
are inimical 10 legislation they do
not favor. has been pcrnirious, II
not damning.
During the administration OF
Governor Sanders these schem"rS
developed an all powerful opposition
10 The legislation submitted for tn"
good of the people.
To the brazen and all dcfyng ar
rogance of this body of lobbyists
there was pledged the opposition Of
every candidate for Governor ana
Lieutenant Governor during the
progress Of the Democratic primary
election campaign and the leglsIat-
ors elected were expected to JON IN
the effort to drive the lobbyists
from the General Assembly.
Governor Hall and Lieutenant
Governor Barrett are committed
against this professional lobby or
Third House and to that end State
Senator Leon r. Smith had pre-
pared bill which was defeated by
a vote of 81 to n
Having realized The fate of the
bill, Senator Smith changed his vote
and gave notice of reconsidera-
ton.
In support of the bill Governor
Hall has sent special message to
the Senate in which he deals with
vigor with the subject and Lieuten-
AMI Governor Barrett is aligned
against these professional lobbyists
The issue is now plain. Shall the
power of the professional lobbyists
or Third House dominate the Legis-
lature2
II is believed that a majority Of
the Senate will on reconsideration
sustain the Smith bill which, If car
ried, will put an end TO the evil in
fluence of the Third House.
The senator's who may vote
against The Smith bill should he re
called. Such men have no right to
hold TO their position and misrepre-
sent the people.

Color Combinations Exploited BY
French MOdIStes.

Some French designers are using O
deal of bright emerald green with
black this summer. and one Of their
bridge costumes has q coat Of emerald
green satin over a black satin skirt
with an emerald green draped pannier.
The black skirt has Jet buttons Vet
down the front, and the dashing little
green coat is trimmed with bands Of
black chantilly lace.
This costume Is certainly striking.
but because the colors are managed
with exceptional skill the effect In won
derfully pleasing and chic.
White satin coat and skirt suits and
frocks Of white satin made In rather
simple tailored effect to distinguish
them from evening gowns are being
taken up by smart women for bridge
and luncheon wear.
or course these white satin cos
tunes are accompanied by very smart
hats in black and white or some pleas
ing color, and the parasoi matches the
hat. This gives desirable contrast,
White buttoned boots or buttoDed OK
fords are always worn with such cos
tunes.
Lingerie gowns of lace and embroid-

right sort Of accessories. Touches Of
black velvet or colored chiffon add dis
tinction to these gowns and make them

AT the beginning of 1862 the
~ Confederate line In the west
IA extended from Columbus, KY,
on the Mississippi, through
Forts Henry and Donelson, In Tennes-
see, TO Bowling Green and Mil
Springs. KY. General Albert Sidney
Johnston commanded the Confederate
army defending this line, with head
quarters at Bowling Green and the
base OF supplies at Nashville. General
Don Carlos Buell.. the Federal leader in
Kentucky directly opposed to John
ston, planned a movement into Ten
nessee. and a small Federal force under
General George II. Thomas set out
from Lebanon, KY, Jan. TO march 10
the east Tennessee border. At this
time there was force Of Confederates
in eastern Kentucky under General
Humphrey Marshall and Colonel j. S.
williams. Williams was a fighter, Mar
shall politician. Williams had earned
the sobriquet "Cerro Gordo" at the IA
nous battle of that name in Mexico in
ls47.
The object Of the Confederates In
keeping an army in eastern Kentucky
was 20 help guard the valuable salt
mines Just over the border in western
Virginia and to protect southern re-
cruiting agents who were operating in
the mountains roundabout. The force
under Marshall and VIII ns early in
January. 1852, numbered somewhere
between 1000 and 5000 men. Marshall
claimed to have 1,sO0. His enemy said
the figures should be doubled, IL not
trebled. Marshall reported his strength
Dec. 30 at 1900 but on Jan. said
that fewer than 1000 were fit for duty.
The troops then consisted of regi-
Inent and a battalion in camp at Pres
tonburg. on the Big Sandy river, which
had been organized IN the fall OF 1861
by Colonel Williams. The regiment was
the famous "ragnmuffin regiment
composed of mountain men, the Fifth
Kentucky. They were hardy. raw
boned. brave. trained to hardships and
armed with long rifles. Colonel VII
liams had also organized a battalion

tried his leg then and found It an
inch too short. It was a good deal
better leg, though, and he refused to

himself blocked at every turn until
Slocum described with loving minute

WONDERFUL ECHOES.

Lake In Bavaria.

Effect Produced by Pistol Shot at q
Lake In Bavaria.
Probably the finest echo which the
world knows is in the cathedral at
Pisa. where the leaning tower is. Sing
two notes and there is no reverbera-
ton. Sing three and they are at once
taken up by the walls of the edifice,
swelled, prolonged and varied till they
seem as q divine harmony from some
majestic organ.
There is a cavern in Finland in
which, if you test your lungs to the
top of their capacity, there will answer
you such horrible roarings, meanings
and mutterings that you will be glad
to rush out In absolute terror.
The cutting down Of trees in a GER
tain locality on the Hudson river spoiled
! a splendid echo. A word shouted there
was repeated forty-two times.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
natural echo in the world is to be
heard by the side of q small lake in
Bavaria. On one hand rises a perpen-
dicular cliff several thousand feet high,
while on the other side is dense for
est. If a pistol is fred on the lake
the woods send back faint echo that
gradually dies away, but presently 1t
is heard from the cliff, continually in
creasing in power till it bursts over
ones head like a deafening peal of
thunder.-Pearson's Weekly.
