In view of the GOODNESS Of the last
two summers, it would seem as though
Kansas was gradually changing her
climate. For twenty years previous to
the last two, we do not remember a
summer that was not enervating and
that did not have at least one solid
month of hot weather. But for the
last two years We have hardly had a
whole week of really hot weather. OF
course there has been hot day or two
now and then, but there were cool days
between, and one does not feel so com
pletely worn out as has usually been
the case. We have seen no explana-
ton oft, but lift prove to be per

Double Attempt at Suicide.

Omaha Herald
The report that a woman had made
q double attempt ut suicide shocked the
public yesterday morning. It TRANSFERRED
that Mrs. VIM. Ryan, the woman in ques-
ton, left her home on Fourteenth and Web
ster to look after house, as she and her
husband had talked of moving. On her way
to the south part of the city she called on
Mr. Ryan, who is stationed at No. 9 engine
house, and left her purse until she could
return. She then visited Mrs. Cieary, 4
friend, living on the corner of Sixteenth
and Mason streets, who was somewhat sur
plised to see her. Mrs. Ryan requested the
liberty Of lying down, rs she felt indis-
posed. Her request was granted and she
was shown to a bedroom, where, after be-
ing left alone, she tied rope around her
neck and cut her throat. The inmates Of
the house, hearing an unusual noise, enter
the apartment and found Mrs. Ryan with o
large cash across her throat and q butcher
knife lying by her side.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
act was committed while she was laboring
under IN attack Of temporary insanity.
LATER-Mrs.- Ryan died from her wounds
at 6 o'clock on Friday morning.

II will be many years ere they also are
consigned to oblivion. 1t is still part
of the unwritten law that woman loses
caste by earning her own living, unless
she makes grand success, and then SO
ciety condones her offense as freak of
genius. Nothing is more common than
a seml-apology for q woman who works,
and if it can be said: "Oh! she didn t
have to work; her father was wealthy,
but she WAS so independent" it is uni
versally understood the young woman
has not lost all claim to social consider
alton. 1t is only those who must work
who are regarded as little loft color"
socially. AS long, therefore, as this
idea prevails, and until it shall be as
proper, as necessary and as much ex-
patton to earn her living as it is that a
man shall do SO, there will be some diff.

ry squarely. For society, as now con-
stituted, willregard the steady progress
of women toward equal labor, duty and
responsibility with man as one of the
greatest evidences of her deterioration,
and will treat woman suffrage as of the
agents in invading her privacy and des-
troying her softncss, dependence and
general usefulness. But the woman of
the future will be in every respect mans
oo-equal worker and friend, and while
she will lose nothing of the sweetness
she now possesses she will gain Im-
mensely in her own capacity for SYM
pathy, labor ard recreation. This is
one prophecy against another, but it is
just as valuable as the other until it is
proven false.

China's Young Emperor.

A letter in the Moth China News re-
ports the youthful emperor as very
bright and rs making rapid and salts
factory progress with his studies. He
proceeds to the school room every day
shortly after the cabinet council-say
about s or 9 o'clock-and continues
with his teachers of whom there are
several, till or 2 p. M. His progress
is said to be twice as rapid as Chinese
youths, and the plan adopted seems to
be more rational. 1t is not with him
mere question of committing a certain
number of characters to memory, but
his teachers read over the passages
several times and explain tc him the
meaning of the characters. Being now
IS years of age, having asCended the
throne when boy of 4, he meets his
ministers at the council every morning,
and in his audiences lie is instructed by
the western empress, his aunt, the en-
press regent, what questions to put.
No eunuchs or attendants whatever are
allowed to be present at these meetings.
All state documents are kept strictly
private. They are sent sealed to the
empress for her inspection, and the en-
peror takes his with him to his private
quarters. At his public interviews he
is always attended by his ministers. His
father is seldom there, but Prince Kung
is always present. The emperor re-
sembles his father, the seventh prince,
very much. AS is well known, most of
Tao Kuang's sons are of slender
build, and rather poor and meager as
pect. Their bodily presence is en-
phatically weak. When the emperor
proceeds to the schoolroom or else
where through the courts of the palace,
those on guard give the alarm, and the
eunuchs and others Immediately retire
within the rooms and draw the curtains.
The very dogs have been trained to OBJ
serve this rule, and on the mention of
the word shou they, too, retire INTO con-
cealment before the august presence OF
the bodgo-khan. The empress is said
to be very able woman, but with a
fiery temper. The prince bas recently
set up a telephone between mis- palace
and his garden, where he loves to sit
surrounded by all nature in artificial
miniature. In his garden he has lake
with boats, islands. rockeries, hill, ETC.,
and erected in CONSPICUOUS places he
has foreign representations of wild an
finals. He lately added some clay
deer to his selections. His pleasure
grounds are more extensive even than
those in the palace, which are not much
over an acre III extent.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CAUCUs:-Your committee has just formally
notified Inc of my unanimous nomination to
the Office of speaker of the house o: repre-
sentatives Of the forty-eighth con-
gress, and am here to thank you
the confidence reposed in me. If this had
been mere personal contest between me
and the distinguished gentlemen whose
names were mentioned in connection with
this. nomination, should have had little
hope of success. They are all gentlemen of
great ability, long experience and undoubt-
ed integrity, and assure them and their
friends that this contest closes, as far as
am concerned, without the slightest change
! of the friendly personal relations heretofore
existing between u.s.. Gentlemen, trust
sou may never have reason to regret the act
of this evening, and when the labors Of
the Forty eighth congress are closed,
you may be able to congratulate
yourselves. No material interest Of
your party or country has been injuriously
affected by the administration Of the office
for which you have nominated me-in fact
may go step farther and venture to express
8 confident hope that every substantial In
terest will be advanced and promoted by the
united efforts. of the presiding officer and the
democratic majority on the floor. Such
result will insure u victory In the great con-
tests yet to come and guarantee q long line
OF democratic executives, with honest,
economical constitutional administration OF
public affairs. But you have yet much other
labor to perform. and again thanking you
tor what you have already done, shall say
NO more.

Faggot-Votlng in England.

rftttWOcu tLukI Su<OuAcfe, CCt- D, IRo.
An extraordinary case of faggot-vot-
ing came to light in the Revision Court
at Oxford last week. Rev. Washbourne
West, bursar of Lincoln College, claim
ed vote for the city. Objection was
taken to the claim on the ground that
the reverend gentleman did not occupy
the house which conferred the franchise.
As, however, Mr.. West States that he
owned the house and had used it during
the year, the objection was overruled.
But the interest in the claimant did not
rest on the immediate cause of his ap-
pearance in the Revision Court Mr..
West is a remarkable person, apart
from Oxford altogether. 1t appears
that he enjoys the distinction of being
''one of the largest faggot-voters in
England" Not only is he qualified to
vote in numerous constituencies but he
spends much time and money in exer-
cising the privilege. 1t was admitted
that he had voted seventeen times at
the last election, and then was obliged
to miss seven places in which he was
entitled to perform the same operation.
Altogether Mr.. West owns no fewer
than twenty-four votes. Indeed, he
claims to be represented in the House
of Commons by rs many as sixty-four
members of Parliament. Gross as this
abuse of the electoral franchise 10, it Ii
difficult to see how it can be avoided so
long as the suffrage is not residential.
Let us hope, however, that the new Re-
form bill will put an end to the pro-
ceedings of active and industrious gen.
tlemen like Mr. Washbourne West.

Using Good English.

Much is said now Of the art of writing

them are. A somewhat careful and
very delightful re-reading of Haw-

Justly so, to excel in his written use of
good English. He evidently has some
thing to say and simply says it. Is
there anything more to be said about

inquiring student: ''Have something

These things were suggested by two
letters in an editorial of the Courant
last Thursday morning. One was let

Sherman, and the other a letter from
General Sherman to General Grant in

very pathetic even in the generous,
brotherly sentiment of these letters.
Great men make great friends. But
if one will notice-lhe letters are not
less remarkable for their literary per-

Glen. Fremont in Poverty.
Chicago Herald.

Gen. Fremont is living on Staten Isl
and, and is very poOr-indeed, abso-
lutely without income. There is some
talk among his friends of petitionlng
congress to follow the precedent set In
the case of General Shields and place
General Fremont on the retired list Of
the army with the rank of brigadier
general. Considering the old mans
distinguished services in the past, the
fact that he was the first banner bearer
of the republican party and the addi-
tional circumstance that hs is now pen
niless, it would be but graceful act
for congress to pass favorably on the
petition. General Fremont is not a
money getter nor a money saver. On
the contrary he is as wild and visionary
in his ideas OF money making as in days
gone by he was romantic and venture
some in the field eff exploration. He
was made governor of Arizona to pro-
vide him with an income, but he caught
the mining fever, resigned his post to
become mine promoter and of course
failed. The government could make
the few remaining years of General
Fremont's life happy and content by
relieving him of the pains of poverty
and the humiliation of accepting aid
from friends, and it ought TO.
