Lea Defines a Lobbyist.

Senator Lea gave new definition OF a
lobbyist, one that caused even III COM
mittee to laugh: "A lobbyist Is generally
a man who is opposed TO your view OF
legislation; when he agrees with Your
interests he Is called an eNper.."
The senator knew of no improper
lobby here, but said that IL was evil
dent from the manner Congress was
being circulariZed on tariff and other
subjects that much money IS used in
an attempt to mold public opinion and
TO convince Congress. The senator
owned stock in newspaper. some
farm land and held several life insur-

ANCIENT SCANDAL
UNEARTHED IN LOVE
LETTERS To KING

London, Dec. 16. One of the most
famous scandals of the time of King
William ". (1S3O-1837), has just been
raked up in the discovery of some 100
unpublished letters of one of that mer-
ry monarch's many favorites, Mrs Jor-
dan. The friendship existed when the
king was Duke of Clarence, and was
all the more notable from the fact that
Mrs. Jordan had already been very
much married, without the blessing of
the church.
The letters are now in the possession
of an art dealer. A few years ago a
series of Mrs. Jordan's letters Were
sold, and at the time it was believed
there were few, if any, others in ex-
istence. But the late ]. Pierpont Nor
gan knew better, and arrangements
for their sale were, it is understood.
almost completed between the great
fnancier and the art dealer at the time
of Mr. Morgan's death.
Letters Alluded to Blackmail.
Of the letters themselves there is not
a great deal to be said. Many of them
are undated and cover a considerabl J
part of the period when Mrs. Jordan
was the favorite of the prince They
consist mainly of expressions of tende"
solicitude for the prince and their chill
dren. Many are undated, but some of
those written from Bushey (near
Hampton COURT contain illusions to a
man who was blackmailing the actress
on account of previous intrigues which
she doubtless did not desire the prince
to get wind of.

YOU DON'T HAVE To
Be POOR To HAVE
FINANCIAL TROUBLES
Princess Louise of Sake COburg, Owes
Over $1,000,000 and Her Credit
Ors Threaten to Sue

Berlin, Dec. 16.-During his recent
visit to Berlin, it is stated that King
Albert of Belgium, succeeded in patcn-
ing up, at any rate, partially, a salts
factcry arrangement between his royal
cousin, Princess Louise, of SaXe-Co-
burg, and her numerous German cred
itors. The princess, while living n
Germany and Austria after her di-
vorce, contracted through extrava-
gance or loans, debts, estimated at con-
siderably more than $1O0O,OO0.
Owing to the uncertainty as to the
prospect of payment, her creditors
have lately been pressing the prince IS
hard for payment, and things look d
omnibus for an expose, which would
have hit the whole Belgian royal fam
lily in one way or another.
Under the arrangement now made
through the king, the creditors have
been organized into pool by which
$1,000,000 will be paid to them cojoint-
ly out of the Belgium treasury, whilt
an additional 100000 will be voted II
favor of Princess Louise to defray hsi
living expenses throughout the rest )
her life. BY this arrangement tn,
princess will be, or should be, relieved
! of her financial ennbarrassments
An element of doubt, however, lie
within the kernel of this financial nur
as it involves the rejection OF claims
for an additional 100000 advanced
by five prominent German creditors
These men are furious at having thei
claims thus f1outed and treated as 0
no account and are threatening prose
cutions if satisfactory arrangement
= is not reached.

UNPUBLISHED DICKENS
LETTER IS DISCOVERED
Warns Ambition Woman Not To A.
tempt to Earn Livelihood BY Writ
ing

London, Dec 16.-Below is a hiti-
erto unpublished letter of Charles
Dickens, showing the kindly interest
he took in would-be authors. He would
dissuade his correspondent from en-
tering upon path fraught with har-
assing and vexatious disappointments,
The letter is dated from AZ Doughty
street, in the Bloomburg district, Mon
day, January 20, 1888. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Madam: have read the paper you
were kind enough to forward me, and
very much regret that | cannot avail
myself of it. 1t is not in. style Of
composition which would be seryicea-
BILE to the miscellany OF which l am
the editor, neither is it in my power
to commence any new series of papers
just now.
Tells of Literary Trials.
Il trust you will not feel hurt by
this communication; be assured that
am perfectly sensible; both of the
kindly womanly feeling which per-
vades you little tale, and of the eX-
cellence of the motive which prompted
you to write it.
eff l may venture to advise you, I
would beg most strongly and urgently
to recommend that you endeavor to
save the friend to whom you refer by
some other means than by the exer-
else of your pen. You cannot conceive
the store of trouble and vexations you
are preparing for yourself by enter
ing upon the trade of authorship-con-
lstant harassing and annoyances, which
will embitter the life of seclusion yon
describe yourself as leading, and no
pecuniary returns from which can ever
repay you for the mental peace you
will sacrifice.
Written in "Purest Sincerity"
Il will return the paper to any place
you may mention, or by any con-
veyance you may point out. Let me
beg you to believe that these few words
are written in the purest sincerity and
have been called forth by the terms
of your letter, which l could not make
up my mind tt answer in more bust
ness terms.
Il am, madam, your faithful serv-
ant, CHARLES DICKENS"

 President Bush says for many years the public has been more than generous with the railroads and has given them more than they asked, but that there had been a reversal of feeling, and now receivers are looked upon with suspicion.
 He pointed to the parcel post as one imposition on the railroads saying that although there was an enormous amount of matter sent by parcel post there had been no weighing to determine a just basis for charge.
 He does not believe, he said,
