THE SENATE AND HOUSE
Another Days Discussion on
the Election Bill.
Coke Says the Debate Must be
Full and Free.
Shipping Interests Considered
in the House.

WASHINGTON. Dec. lS.-ImmediRtely
alter the reading of the journal the senate
proceeded to executive business on motion
of Hale. The secret session lasted but n
few moments, and the senate proceeded
to the consideration OF morning business.
Sherman reported a bill providing
against the contraction of the currency.
Ordered printed and recommltted. The
election bull was then taken up and Coke
addressed the senate in opposition to it
The Democratic senators, Coke said, pro-
posed to have a full and free discussion
Of the bill TO the end that the American
people shall be informed of the startling
and radical departure proposed to be In
augurated in the character OF the govern
ment. If the dictates of the political
faction that happened to hold possession
OF all departments of the government were
to be registered in the statute books
without debate, without discussion, with
out examination; if the rules and usaRes
and methods of procedure that have
for 100 years obtained In the senate were
TO be overthrow; neither house of con
Rress TO be any longer a deliberate body,
it was at least proper hat that fact should
be proclaimed SO that the people might
pass judgment on the political party re-
sponsible for il.
Cullom then addressed the senate. He
accepted the bill as the best that could be
framed to meet the evil complained of,
with the understanding hat he should ia
vor amendments that meet his approval.
The duty was imposed upon the govern
ment by the constitution, and by the re-
suits of the war, to protect the negro of
the South in tie right to cast 4 free bal.
lot and have n fair count. He would be
pleased, if possible, to trust entirely to
the states themselves to do Justice at cleo
tons. But he felt impelled by a sense of
duty to give his vote for the bill, and
would do so in an effort to put a stop to
lawlessness in the Southern states. 4e
knew full well the passage of the bill
would give to the laWless element at the
Sonth an excuse for mob violence and re-
bellion against national authority, but be
was sure thar such results limited at,
rather thsn courageousiy expressed) would
not prevent the bill from being enacted
aud approved.
Bate took the floor. He opposed the
bill because he believed it a strike at the
freedom of the ballot, and tended to breed
disturbance and destroy the peace and
quiet Of society. He believed it to be the
most prominent of the many finger
boards or the political highway that
pointed to an empire. Such legislation in
a republican government was at all times
dangerous and vicious, aud was especially
so at the present time.
The election bill was then informally
laid aside.
The house amendments to the Senate
bill for a bridge across the Willamette
river, Oregon. were concurred in. Ad-

AN WOMAN.
Officials NJ a Loss TO Know What 10
DO With Her.

Mrs. John Shaw OF Hartville became
violently insane Tuesday morning and was
brought to cheyenne yesterday for ex-
animation. Mrs. Shaw trouble is said to be
over religion and jealousy of her husband.
Coming down on the train yesterday it
required iour men to hold her, her mania
making her so powerful. Mrs. Shaw re-
fused to dress herself when she started
aud could not be ~pursuaded to put on all
her clothes until she reached cheyenne
Mrs. Shaw at one time worked for the
late John flames here in the city before
she married Mr.. Shaw, who is a miner at
Hartville.
Just what can be done with the uufor-
tunate lady is a good deal of a question.
Some legal steps are necessary to secure
her incarceration in the insane asylum
and there is no judge here to undertake
the proceedings. Judge Scott has re-
turned to his home in Sundance, and ac-
cordinG to the supreme coult the probate
court was abolished by the constitution.
How the difficulty will be overcome is a
matter OF a good deal of speculation, but
it indicates a trouble that may frequently
be experienced so long as the Judge Of
this district is not a resident of Cheyenne.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-In the morn
ing hour the pending measure was the
senate bill amending the interstate com
merce act by providing for taking deposit
tons by notarles public. Passed.
Baker of New York called up aud the
house passed the senate bill authorizing
the town of Albany. Ore, to construct a
bridge across the Willamette river.
Farquhar, chairman of the committee
on merchant marine and fisheries, moved
that the house 40 into committee of the
whole for the consideration of the senate
bill with house substitute therefor.
Springer and ETHAN positively denied
that the committee had authorized the
motion and the speaker decided that Far
quhar had not sufficient authority tor it.
He recognized Farquhar, however, to
make a motion that the house 90 into
committee of the whole on the state of the
union. This was agreed to and Burrows
took the chair.
FaIquhar then moved that the house
proceed to the consideration of the senate
bill to place the American merchant ma
rine on an equality with that of other ma
tons.
Springer made the point of order that
the motion was not in order, but the
chairman ruled that 1t was, aud S~priuger's
appeal was voted down. Parquhar's mo-
ton was agreed to.
In supporting the shipping bill he ex-
pressed regret that any member should

The phrase beaten to a mummy has
been familiar to me from my youth up,
and l have always understood it as
equivalent to beaten to q jelly. Does it
not refer to the medicinal substance
formerly known as mummy, which kept
its place in our dispensatories until pretty
late in the last century? 1t was vari-
ously composed and not always of the
same consistence, but its general appear
nee would probably resemble that Of
soft pitch.
l speak nov of the spurious kinds,
which were doubtless most common.
Even the genuine" sorts were not, how
ever, necessarily Egyptian. Penicher,
In his "Traite DIES Embaumemens' par
is, 1890, gives directions for the compo-
sition of mummy from human flesh ex-
pressly for medicinal purposes. He rec
ommends certain parts only of the body
to be used, and these to be dried, macer-
ated and spiced out of all likeness to
their natural condition. Mummy so
prepared entered into a great variety of
"balms" and other ~medicaments, for
which Penicher in his concluding chap
ter gives recipes from old writers.
Some of these have the consistence of
oil, others that Of an ointment. 1t is
clear, from the references in Mares, that
in our own country mummy and its
preparations were well known, and from
the make mummy OF my fesh," which
Mares quotes from an old play, to
beaten to a mummy" is a natural and
an easy step.-Notes and Queries.

Among the presents showered on
blushing brides this season figures the
old fashioned watch chain, more than a
yard long. After many years Of sus-
pending watches from chatelaines, from
short chains hanging from u brooch and
from ribbons secured by monograms;
after wearing them in breast pockets or
tucked into the bosoms of dresses with
short chain pendants, after carrying
them in leathern straps or slipped into
the clasp of a bag or using them as dec
Orations for the handles of p~arasols and
umbrellas, card cases and portemon-
naies, as clasps for bracelets or concealed
beneath a miniature in a brooch or be-
hind the heart of a floral pin-fashion
has gone back to the ancient style of
chain thrown around the neck that our
mothers and g~randmothers affected.
The new chains are very fine and gen.
orally are divided at intervals of three
or four inches by pearls, turquoises or
garnets. strung like beads, or by small
diamonds, rubies, sapphires or moon
stones, set clear.
AS for the watch it is hidden in the
folds of the dress or carried in a side
pocket. 1t is small in size, and the back
should be encircled or entirely incrusted
with gems similar to those on the chain.
One very handsome watch and chain
that l saw the other day among the
dainty trifles of a bridal corbeille was
ornamental with both rubies and dia.
monds. The stones were set alternately
between short lengths of the chain all

Iron WORKERS Wn Help The Miners.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. lS.-The
coal miners strike has assumed a serious
turn that threatens to close every indus
try in the district. The. Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
has passed resolutions OF sympathy and
pledged support to the strikers. They
agree to refuse to work with coal mined
by convict or scab miners if the strikers
ask them to do so. Pat Mcbride, of the
executive board of the United Mine
Workers OF America, says if he cannot
settle it he will call out all the iron and
steel workers. This means the closing Of
all the rolling mills, foundries and machine
shops, and 1000 more men will Join the
ranks of the strikers. The strike has al
ready seriously injured business and there
seems no prospect of a settlement.
