WASHINGTON, Jan. Although Con

likely that the Senate will have quo
rum before Monday. The most impor-
tant bill on the calendar is the federal
elections. and possibly speeches on this
measure may take up the latter half Of
the week, but il is not likely an attempt
will be made to pass il before next
week. The Senate will do comparatively
little until the House sends over the
tarih and Appropriation bills. The lla
waiian and tariff questions will pruba

bate will begin as soon as the House
reassembles Wednesday The Demo-

not last over two weeks. unless the Re

the bill. Wilson's opening speech will

Pour LiN.- Sacrificed

OMAHA. Jan. l.-On the marble slabs
mains of the family of John Cummings
father. mother, baby and grandmother
are there, waiting the outcome of the
inquest which the coroner began this
morning. Nothing in Nebrassa's = annals
approaches the deed for horror Cum.
miu-s had been IN III health Tor some
time and deliberately set tire to his oHn
house and caused the death of his
mother iu.law. wife and one year old
baby. Little Tommy when asked how
the fire originated. said Cummings was
sitting on the edge ~ a bed IN rear
room, where Mrs. Cummings was also,
with the baby Another person in the
room was Mrs FOX. mother of Mrs
Cummings. his aunt There was "A fuss
about something. and Cummings upset
the lamp. and closed the door compel
ing all the inmates to stay there. They
cried. but he refused Ia let any of them
out
When Philip Nathan. next door no~sh.
bor. first saw the flames. he noticed that
Mrs. Cummings was trying the shutters
/ 10 the windows Of the bedroom. He
heard her cry and say. My baby is al
ready atire." Soon thereafter he saw the
woman enveloped in flames. Denny
| Sexton. who occupied room in the
basement Of the house says "For sew
eral nights folks in the room above have
been carousing About midnight they
would begin To quarrel and sometimes
4 fight among themselves for an hour. and

as il all were exhausted ] knew they
had a great deal of whisky up there for
several nights.
Trouble began early Saturday night.
The disturbance increased toward mid
/ night and frequently oaths were heard.
i Finally. about , O'Clock. terrible scuf
( ile commenced. From the noise made
by the heavy shoes Of the men as they
/ pushed each other across the floor. and
from the manner in which they cursed.

fight. Suddenly there was thud over
in the little room to the north. where the
bodies were found, as If one of the men
had fallen. He did not attempt TO rise.
and heard the other man take several
steps and then heard a woman scream.
She yelled, My God and then gurgled,
as il being choked. A moment later an
other body fell on the floor This was
followed by heavy crash of glass. and
! flames breaking out through a small
window in the room where the bodies
were found. For few minutes confu-

ABSOLUTELY PURE

done by the general enfranchisement O.
woman, the proportion of persons o.
doubtful fitness in the voting body.
1t is no answer to this question that a.
the fit women would be enfranehiseC
with the unfit, the proportion between fl
and unfit would, in the voting body, re-
main on the whole about the same. For
here the difference between man ant
woman, the existence of which even the
most enthusiastic suffragist will after
all not deny, comes into consideration.
One OF our troubles is that among male
voters the sO-called better classes, the
well educated and refined, take gener.
ally much less active part in that polit-
ical activity which has direct bearing
upon the exercise of the suffrage, as well
as in the act of voting itself, than the
less well educated and refined, the social
ed lower classes. Another is that many
voters are ignorant or careless of public
questions, or easily reached by dangerous
Influences, are apt to be controlled BY
personal considerations or blind party
spirit, or have only one object in view,
and sacrifice to it all others. Now, II
men OF refinement are deferred from the
necessary political activity by the rude
ness Of the contacts inseparable from
them, is 1t not probable that refined
women will be still more sOdeterred? II
it not probable that many women, be-
longing to the most estimable element OF
society, would keep alOOf from all con-
tact with politics on principle, believing
1t to be outside their sphere? Is it not
probable that even more female than
male voters would be ignorant or careless
OF public questions, or easily reached
and controlled by extraneous, especially
sectarian, influences, or personal cOnsid-
erations,or anything that appeals more to
emotion than to reason? Is it not prob
able, in one word, that, while doubtless
limited element OF excellent quality
would be added to the voting force, not
only the positive quantity, but the pro-
portion in it Of the element to which
some Of our most serious troubles are
owing, would be largely increased2
Even il we admit for arguments sake,
that to these questions there are different
answers, it is not certain that so tremen-
dOus an addition to the voting force as
the granting Of unqualified woman suf-
frage would effect, would involve at
least the possibility of dangerous in
crease of those evils which the best
thought of the country is at present pain
fully struggling to remedy. -Harper's

ALPINE SCENERY
Graphically Described by a Tourist in this
Beautiful Land.


Beautiful Land.
| have wanted to write from every
place we have stopped, but our time has
been so occupied with taking in the
sights and trying to derive the proper
benefit from such glorious surroundings,
that when night came and might have
written, was too fatigued to attempt to
write anything readable.
We have had a.delightfpl trip thus far,
the weather favorable and pleasant, our
route arranged 80 that every change Of
place and scenery seemed prettier and
grander than the one befOrea We are
now in Switzerland, having arrived at
Lucerne a week ago, and it surpasses
everything in beauty and grandeur
which has gone before. Words cannot
express the sublimity and lOveliness Of
the landscape which even now lies
before us.
We are at the top of the Rigi, one of
the high mountains, all around us are
hills and valleys, luxurious in vegetation
and splendOr, and further back lies the
snOw-clad Alps, dazzling and sparkling
in the sunlight.
The Rigi-Kulm, a fine hotel at the
summit of Mount Rigi, almost always
presents busy scene, but it is most
thrOnged in the morning and evening;
the sunrise and sunset being the chief
attractions. II you are fortunate enough
to have perfectly clOudless sunrise, it
is a rare treat. Half an hour before sun
rise the Alpine horn sounds the reveille,
all is noise and hustle, the crowded
hotels are deserted, everyone rushes to
the summit of the mountain, enyelOped
in all manner Of funny clOaks and
mantles. A faint streak in the east
heralds the birth Of day, this insensibly
Echanges to band Of gold on the horizon,
each lofty peak becomes tinged, as 1t
were, then the shadows between the
Rigi and the horizon gradually melt
away; forests, lakes, hills, towns and
villages reveal themselves; all is at first
grey and cold, until at length the sun
bursts from behind the mountains in all
his majesty, flooding the landscape with
brilliance and warmth.
1t is magnificent sight and a thing
you can never forget as long as you live.
Not many years ago the only way you
could ascend the mountains, providing
you did not care to climb, was by horse
back Or being carried in chair by the
mOuntaineers, but now they have an in
clined railway and in about an hour you
are 5000 feet above the sea level, COM
manding one Of the grandest views i'm
aginable.
Mountains and distances are very de-
ceptive; for instance, the snOw-clad
mountains in the distance seem but a
very little higher than the Rigi, but in
reality they are 5000 feet above us.
In mountainous country like Switzer.
: land it is to pedestrians alone that many
Of the finest points are accessible, ant
even when driving is practicable, walk
ing is often more enjoyable. Mountain
eering among the'higher Alps should no
/ be attempted without an experienced
, guide and gOOdly amount Of persever
7 ence and energy.

A unique and remarkable transit sys-
tenn is in operation at Bellport, L. l., It
is a bicycle railroad, with cars seating
forty or fifty persOns-the cars being
run on single rail and connecting with
a guide overhead, supported by upright
poles. The motor and cars are propelled,
heated and lighted by electricity obtained
from this guide. The trains are noise
less when moving, they cannot leave the
track, and have reached velocity Of
mile minute. A superb automatic
block system to prevent collision will be
introduced, which shuts off the power in
the old block when entering the new
one. A correspondent who visited the
road for Harper's Young People makes an
interesting comparison as between this
and the larger railroads on which steam
is employed as the motor.
