the judiciary committees Of the house OF
representatives and the senate grant hear
inEs TO delegations OF suffragsts Three
hundred women suffragists viii gather
from all sections OF the United states and.
as suffrage has become very fashionable In
New York, Il is expected that women Will
come from there whose names are iden-
titled with the most exclusive American
society. Perhaps Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont.
Mrs. Mackay and Miss Anne Morgan may
come from New York and it Is quite GER
tain that fun quota will come from the
western states.
Suffrage has not been much OF an issue
among the women OF Washington. In fact.

a single member Of any set unless we con-
slider the words OF Mrs. Alice Longworth.
Mrs. I.onRworth vas asked by some one.

The younger set in the capital has gos-
siped to some extent about Tip" Knox,
son of Secretary Knox, who Unexpectedly
married over east, hkenlng this runaway
match to the marriage of Senator Aldrich's
son to a millinery designer some time ago.
In Washington Secretary Knox and Senator
Aldrich are powers. Senator Aldrich is
called Boss OF the Senate by some OF the
out-of-town newspapers and it is unneces-
sary TO point 10 the high station Of Secre-
tary Knox. But the sons of these gentle
men are unknown in Washington society.
Neither young Mr. Knox nor young Mr.
Aldrich has the slightest desire for society
here. The prestige of their name would
have been the open sesame to any set they
might have desired to enter.
washington society is specuiating whether
either might In the course Of the present
administration come here to reside.

FRIGHTENED PEOPLE FLEE
Man Fires Bullet From Thirty Eight
Calibre Revolver Into His Left
Breast and Escapes Death by
Miracle.

Charles Swanson a constable in the
town of Somers and a manager of a
boarding house at Twin Lakes at which
many summer resort people from Chi
cago and Milwaukee are spending the
summer made a dramatic attempt to
kill himself in the dining room of the
hotel on Wednesday when he fired a
bullet from thirty eight calibre re-
volver into his left breast.
BY some strange freak of providence
the bullet struck one of the ribs of
Swanson and glanced off and came out
along the left shoulder and there is
every reason to believe that Swanson
will recover. DR.. L. Fl. Bill of Genoa
junction who was called to attend the

noon that the wound was not serious

barring the possibility of blood poison
ing setting in.
eral days and he was drunk when he
fired the bullet into his breast. He
could not have picked more dramatic
setting for the attempt upon his life.
The guests at the boarding house had
gathered at the dining room Of the
place for their dinner and the tables
were filled up when Swanson came into
the room and took his place at the head
of one of the tables, He was very red
in the face and seemed to be laboring
under great mental strain. He had
been acting queerly for several days
but the guests at the house had at
tributed this to the fact that he had
been drinking heavily. He turned to
one of the boarders and said something
and then rose in his chair and pulling
the revolver from his pocket said:
"Well here goes.
With this he discharged the revolver
One of the men sitting nearest him
caught him as he fell and wrenched the
revolver from his hands. The dining
room was emptied as if by magic as the
guests fed in panic from the scene
Swanson was carried to his room in the
boarding house and he remained fully
conscious and declared that he wanted
to die. Later while the guests were
getting a physician to dress his wound
Swanson went out into the yard about
the house and began drinking again.
He told DR.. Bill that he desired to die
and that he had carefully planned to
shoot himself in the, dining room of
the hotel, He refused to give any rea-
son for his actions and it is thought
that the man is temporarily deranged.
Swanson has lived in the town of Sal
EN- for some time and was formerly en-
ployed as the keeper of a boarding
house for the Lawler Ice Company. He
is not unknown to the police officers of
the city and county and it is claimed
that he has past which is not known
to the people in the neighborhood Of
Twin Lakes.
