SENATOR JONES, of Nevada, has offered
resolution in the Senate requesting the
President to negotiate treaty with emma
containing provision that no Chinese snaii
en- err the United States except Ambassadors
and Others engaged in the diplomatic ser
vc,, and merchants engaged in trade be-
tween the United States and foreign coun'
tries" The relations between this country
and China are friendly. What would Mr..
Jones, or any other American citizen, think
of foreign country, with which the United
States are at peace, which should demand
of this country treaty by which no Ameri
can citizen except ambassadors and mer'
chants should be admitted into that coun'
try? The world is too old now.and freedom
too prevalent, and population too dense, for
people to be kept within the boundaries OF
their native countries.

A wicked Woman's Career.

A suit for divorce will coon be begun in
Washington by Mr.. A. Scott Witherbee, 8
we'll known business man, against his wife,
formerly Miss Nettie Dunlap. Mr.. With.
erbee was married to Miss Dunlap in Feb
ruary, 1886, having become acquainted with
her while she was visiting the capital. a
few months after marriage the wife induced
her husband to allow her to visit friends In
the West A couple of weeks later Mr..
Witherbee received dispatch from broth.
or in Chicago asking what his wife was do
ing in that city. Mr.. Witherbee went
to Chicago, where, he found Mrs.
Witherbee living with wealthy New
Yorker as his wife. After returning
to Washington the husband told her
that after what had happened they could
never live together as man and wife. She
replied that she had tried TO be respectable
and had found thattha was impossible, and
that she had married him more for an e1-
pertinent than anything else. The next
day she left Washington, going, 1t is said, to
Chicago, accompanied by T. ]. Mackey, a
lawyer. Nettie was plentifuly supplied
with money, which, it Is alleged, she OBJ
tanned from her wealthy admirers. Nettie's
money soon vanished and she returned to
Chicago, where, it is said, she nearly died
from malpractice Later she and Mackey
went to Texas. There Nette tried to get a
divorce from her husband, but detectives
were about to have the two arrested for per-
Jury, when they disappeared. The claim
upon which Mr.. Witherbee will base his
suit is assertion, and not the more serious
charge that might be proven. The latter
would compromise too many prominent
men who have fallen victims to Nettie's fas-
cipation5
The following history of the womaa's
early life is given About the time of the
outbreak of the war young woman named
Hade, living near E!giD, ILL.,, was ruined by
neighbours son, who refused to marry her.

cottage and knocked. When the
door was opened she fell fainting across
the threshold. The cobbler was Geo. Dun
lap, and be adopted The child, the mother
going away. Dunlap gave the girl his name,
and she was called Nettie. She bad beauty
and it was discovered that she had a fine
voice, but she was wilful and lazy. Thus it
was that she attracted the attention of an
Elgin millionaire. He offered to educate
her, gave her money and fine clothes and
sent her to New York. She developed rapidly,
and became the leading soprano in q fashionable
New York church. Meanwhile there was
trouble brewing il the millionares home. his
wife, it was said was jealous of the beautiful song
bird. She sued for divorce and obtained it, the
husband settling handsome sum upon her. He
went to Europe, and it was said Nettie accom-
panied him.
