SHE GAVE HIM ONE MINUTE.
How a Lovely Woman Forced tn,
Governor to Sign a Bill.

CINCINNATI Enquirer: Stories of Fan
ME Smith Rich, the woman who was shot
In st. Paul the other day by the husband
she had deserted, are as plenty in society
as apples in autumn. Her father is still
alive. a respectable and highly respected
resident. The daughter first married
a man named Trimble, and while he
and she were together there was at least
one story about her behavior that
the newspapers hushed up because of her
fathers high standing. In Paris she
would have been Shining light. ar
ce,ompllshed, beautiful, and witty, she had
the faculty OF interesting the most re-
served and sober men. Men she had al
ways around her. Distinguished or
humble, scholars or mere beaux, they
all struggled to enjoy her conversation
ana fascinating manners. In Paris
her behavior at most times would have
been considered merely eccentric. But
when. the cold lens of the NOR
ais OF little Dutch city like ALBANY
were applied to it the women viewed her
otherwise than as the men did. The
most amusing escapade that is related of
ner mere is that she once frightened the
Governor into signing bill in which she
took an interest. She had called on him
two or three times and he had treated her
lightly and chaffingly las busy man might |

Why the Women Should Vote.

There is no let up in the effort of the
woman suffragists to get recognition OF
their claims by Congress, says the Wash
lngton correspondent of the Omaha Her.

House Committee on Territories last
week and argued in favor of woman stuff.

clause of the Edmunds bill which would
disfranchise the women in Utah. Among
the delegation were Mrs. Mary K. Hunt

ment of scientific instruction of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and Rev. Anna H. Shaw, of Big Rapids
Mich, who has been the State lecturer
Tor the Massachusetts Suffrage Associa-
ton for the last year. Miss Shaw offered
the novel plea that the women in The
Territories had even more claim to the
ballot than the men, because the male
population of the Territories is largely a
rowing population, while the female ele-
ment is entirely a settled and home pop
ulation. The government would there
lore be better represented by the women
than by the men.

WYOMING EASTERN RAILROAD.
Pursuing a Direct Route to the
Pacific Coast.

Major Wilkes has returned from Wy
oming, where he has spent most of the
winter on the line of the proposed
Wyoming Eastern Railway. Major
Wilkes left several months ago, it will be
remembered, with corps of engineers
and surveyors, and has been busily en-
gagged ever since. In reply to our report
er's query. he stated to-day that the new
road would pass through the Platte
and Sweetwater valleys on to Fort Fetter-
man, and would pursue for very con-
siderable distance the old emigration trail
which many of the early residents here
have traversed. The line, said the Major,
will have the least possible grade of any
road over the Rocky Mountain country,
and will open up some very desirable
country. The winter has been called a
mild one out where / have been operat-
ing, but if they call that mild 1 shouldn't
want to have to endure any of their severe
seasons.
"What. will be the particular country
which the road will traverse west to Fort
Fetterman?' asked the reporter.
"Well, now, as to that, am compelled
to say l cannot tell you anything. and I
would prefer you let your questions rest
just where they are"
This was spoken with a very knowing
expression, which seemed to say: 81
am expected to keep mum on that"
There is little or no doubt but the
Wyoming Eastern will pursue a direct
route to the Pacific Coast, and the reasons
for keeping the company's plans for the
secret are very patent.
Major Wilkes expects to return to his
post of duty in few days.

Sufferers Who Should Never be Left With.
out Good Medical Counsel.
1t seems strange, on the first blush
of the matter, that so very few acct
dents befall sleep-walkers. The pro-
portion of instances in which any in
jury is sustained by the subjects of this
remarkable state of scmi-sleep is very
small. The explanation of the immu-
nifty is doubtless to be found in the fact
that it is n state of semi-sleep in which
the sleep-w alker makes his excursion.
He is sleeping only SO far as part of his
cerebrum is concerned The rest OF
his brain is. awake, and therefore it is
not a strange feat 10 walk carefully and
escape injury, doing all the necessary
acts of avoidance while carrying out
some dream purpose, just as waking
purpose is fulfilled. This hypothesis
obviously requires a very full cxplana-
fion of such an accident as that by
which q sleep-walker recently came by
her death-namely, falling out of an
open window. 1t is not likely to have
been part of the dream to get out of "A
window. There must have been some
error in the carrying out Of the process;
such, for example, as turning to the
right instead of the LEFT on leaving q
room, and thus walking through low
window instead of through a doorway.
AS a rule the senses are sufficiently On
the alert to enable the sleep-walker 20
take all precautions for safety. and
when he comes face to face with diff
Guilty involving more than automatic OF
sub-conscious self-control, he wakes,
We should like TO know more of the
case which has ended fatally from some
competent medical observer who has
studied the development of this inter-
esting disorder in this particular in
stance. Surely a practitionerwas con-
suited. No case of s1eep-walking
should ever be left without medical
scrutiny and counsel. In sleep-walk-
ing there is the making of madness,
and in its inception this disorderly
sleeplessness ought to be stayed.-I'he
