During the debate in the Senate on the
hin TO admit Washington Territory to the
Union, the question Of woman suffrage
was raised by the amendment, OF Senator
Eustis. Of Louisiana, who proposed to
limit the right Of suffrage to qualified
male citizens only. Senator Beck, oil
Kentucky, said he was opposed to giving
the ballot 10 women now, because there
conld be no discrimination on account 81
race or color, and "tho ballot could not
be given to the most intelligent woman in
America without giving it to the most lg'
norant negro woman in the South"
II there be good reasons for withhold
inv the ballot from women, certainly this
IA not one Of them. lit be admitted that
women ought to have a ballot, except lor
the reason given by the Kentucky sena'
tor, then the force OF tue general admla'
sion must carry the ballot with It, Tor the
exception il illcgical. end cannot stand
II women oughtto have the ballot at all,
they ought TO have it on the came terms
IA men have it. Men have the ballot
without regard TO race or color, and ithas
not been proposed that male suffrage shall
be done away with because the most ig'
noropt colcred man can vote with the most
;rt.,li,eut white man, or because the
m,st ignorant white man enjoys the came
suffrage right as the most intelligent oil
whatever race or color.
For men there Ia no qualification but
citizenship, and this women already have
II is not required that man shall be able
To write his name or read his ballot, or
that he shall measure up to any moral
standard, A male voter may be the most
ignorant and degraded man in his com
neutrality-suspicious. his ignorance nor his
depravitywill dislranChiuchim. A woman,
whatever her intelligence, virtue and
property interests, is disiranchiaed be-
cause she Is woman.

Whistling and Singing Snakes,

A snake of a. very rare kind is now
at the Smithsonian Institution, hav-
ing been captured near the famous
Buck Horn wall, on the line of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, near
Deer Park, Md. The popularity of
the snake is that it can and does
whistle and sing like young knocking
bird. In general appearance it is like
the ordinary snake, except it's head
is shaped somewhat like a pug dog.
In length it is four feet long, and the
largest part of the body is four and a
quarter inches in circumference.
When it whistles or sings it makes a
series OF jumps like a frog.
The head snake professor of the
Smithsonian Institution is now at
Woods Holl, Mass, and it will proba-
bly, be sent there for his examination
and classification. 1t is in shape and
color altogether different from any Of
the African singing snakes, and besides
issues a louder and more harmonic
sound or whistle than is recorded of
any of the classes of snakes that are
found in TIE East Indies. A similar
character of a snake is said in the
books to be frequently seen on the ISL
and of Sumatra. So far this is the
first singing or whistling snake that has
been found in this country. The man
who caught it supposed he was chas-
ing a young mocking bird.

Five Inmates of a Michigan Asylum
Burned to Death-Others VIII Die.
neutrality-suspicious., near Jackson,
Mich, was almost entirely destroyed by
fire early on the morning Of the Oath.
There were forty inmates, and all es-
capped but five, who persisted in the
flames. The dead are asfollOws: Mrs.
G Atkinson, from Grass Lake, aged
"a, an inmate for twenty-four years;
Katherine Avery, from Columbia,
aged II, an inmate for ten years;
Melissa Martin, from Spring Harbor,
aged 81, an inmate for fourteen years;
Tina Boynton, from Jackson, aged
%, an inmate for three years;
Charles Elliot, blind, from Jackson,
aged rs, and only an inmate since De
cember II, 1885. The building is sit
uated in a lonely spot about four
miles rom the city. 1t was recently
built at a cost of $4,000 The fire,
the origin of which is unknown, broke
out in the inmates kitchen, and the
whole interior was destroyed. The
thermometer at the time registered 10
degrees below zero. All the inmates
lost their clothing, rushing out into the
snow in q naked condition. Thirty of
the paupers were taken to Jackson
and housed. Some of these will die
from the effects of the exposure they
were subjected to. John Doherty, the
hired man, brought three Of the lune-
tics down the fire-escape in his arms,
thus saving their lives. An i'm
beetle boy, 10 years of age,
was found in bed and was res
cued by means of the fre-escape.'
There were only two men, besides the
inmates, about the place when the fire
broke out and they rescued the in
mates before other help arrived. VIM.
Mills, one of the inmates, was the man
who first issued Sanders spelling book.
At one time he was worth quarter Of
a million dollars The fire was discov-
cred soon after midnight, the kitchen
being found mass of flames, the fire
seeming to have started from a defect
i've chimney. Help was sent from
ing the remains of the victims
was at once begun, resulting in
the recovery of the five horribly
charred bodies, which could only be
identified by their positions in the
ruins. Much trouble was experienced
in rescuing those who were saved, as
many of them resisted all Efforts in
their behalf. By the time they were
out of the building it was useless to
fight the flames, such Roadway having
been gained that the building and most
OF the contents were soon in ashes.
The only fire apparatus about the
place was some hose connected with
an empty reservoir.

900, the history of which is quite ro-
mantle. Besides them, there are six
co-heirs and heiresses living in Mary
land and the District of Columbia.
The matter of the claim dates back
to the latter part Of the last
century. when Chevalier d. CAmiens,
member of a rich and distinguished
French house, settled in Baltimore for
a time. He had in his service a.
mulatto housekeeper of great beauty
named Rachel Stevenson, In whom he
reposed great confidence. Previous to
his sailing for his home in France he
put all of his property in her name,
his purpose being, it is supposed, to
get a stronger hold upon the estate,
title to which could not rest in him by
reason of his being an alien. Rachel
Stevenson sailed with the Chevaller
for France, but the vessel was lost, and
neither the Chevalier nor the woman
was ever heard of again. The records
show that letters of administration
were granted to VIM. Stevenson, a
brother of Rachel, who claimed then
to be the only heir. He died about
thirty years ago, on farm near Bal
timore. The present claimants are all
grand nephews and nieces of Rachel
Stevenson, and they contend that the
original transfer to her was absolute,
no trust of any sort being made. One
of the properties situated on Eutaw
street, near Barre, in Baltimore, was
sold for non-payment of taxes; but
the claimants say they arestill in time
to redeem upon payment OF amount
of taxes
