Ir THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C. DISTRICT RAILROAD LEGISLATION. Little Prospect of Any Action at this Session of Congress. There is not likely to be anything done by the Senate during this session toward solving the steam railroad problem in the District. Hearings may be granted by the District com- mittee and various plans proposed discussed, but it is not thought probable that any meas- ure will be reported to the Senate. The prin- cipal reason alleged for this is that the consid- eration of the tariff bill will crowd other Measures to such an extent that pees lation of any importance upon whic! re any division of sentiment will have little chance. Another reason is found in the appa- rent disagreement which the sub-committee thinks exists between the various citizens’ as- sociations interested in the matter. “The squab- bles of citizens over this matter,” said a Sena tor who is interested in seeing the District railroad problem solved, “have disgusted many of us who are really as anxious as they are to see this troublous matter settled. No two rep- resentative men can agree on any one plan of | relief.” In the disagreement of the management of the two railroad companies the committee finds another great obsiacle to legislation. It is generally understood that the subcommittee wants to have the Baltimore and Ohio and ; Pennsylvania authorities unite ona plan that will be satisfactory to themselves, to Congress, and to the le. ASE Whet the next Congress may do in this mat- ter is, of course, problematical in the extreme. but unless conditions and theories change sid- denly and unexpectedly there will be no rati- yeod legislation for the District during this session. —_>__ QUAY IN INDIANAPOLIS. He is to Have an Interview with Presi- dent-elect Harrison This Morning. The Indianapolis special to the Phila- delphia Press mentions the arrival of ® party of prominent men, including Sena- tor Quay, ex-President Hayes, Gen. Brit- ton, Gen. Geo. B. Williams. and Gen. Milo 8. Hascall. Ex-President Hayes came to attend the meeting this evening of the Loyal Legion, of whichjhe is commander-in-chief, and was met at the train by the committee repre- senting the organization. Mr. Quay was taken to the New Denison Hotel; where Private Sec- retary Halford, Hon. John C. New, and four or five prominent republicans awaited his arrival. He engaged in conversation for a few minutes, Mr. Halford arranged for a conference between Mr. Quay and the President-elect early this morning. To the Press correspondent Mr. Quay said: “The purpose of my visit to Gen. Harrison is well enough understood, I think. to need no explanation. 1 will probably have something to say to him about politics.’ QUAY AS A WITNESS. An Indianapolis special to the Philadelphia Times says that in the grand jury investigation of the alleged bribery case yesterday, W. H. Barker, secretary of the New York senate, who had charge of the distribution of speakers of the national republican committee during the campaign, was a witness. He was very much out of humor by his detention in Indianapolis, and said in connection with the matter: “I don’t know anything about Dudley's letter and not much about Dudley. I did not know that he had even written a letter till the democratic papers said so.” Senator Quay will be summoned to appear before the jury to-day, the subpena having al- ready been issued for him. coe | —_—_ The Socialist Propaganda. THE ORGANIZATION OF WORKINGMEN INTO SMALL GROUPS TO BE PUSHED. It is learned that at a secret meeting of the central labor union and the trades’ as- sembly, held Sunday night in Chicago, Albert Curlin, the well-known agitator, in an address on centralization and federation, advocated the federation plan, which, he said. has been adopted by the international union. “In this system,” he said, the laborers are organized in little groups from five to twenty members or more; then there is not so much danger from spies. Little ‘oups do not arouse suspicion, and cannot Ee weteled and cotta easily by the police. | In case of aconflict with the capitalists, the little but numerous groups can act more suc- cessfully and cause more age to the enemy without running a great risk of detection. The police have prohibited our public meet- ings. This aroused indignation among the workingmen, and caused them to join our so- cieties more numerously. It is now the best time to spread our agita- tion over the town. The spring election is coming and the workingmen take more inter- est at this time of the year than usually. We can bring them much easier together than at any other time. I would therefore suggest the organization of workingmen's ward clubs. This should be done not only in Chicago but in the suburban towns. We should begin the great task at once. We will be able to control the greater of the workingmen, and in cases of conflict with capital, which may come in the near future, they will be ready to ac- complish the social revolution.” Mr. Currlin made this as a motion. It was — unanimously and the organization of clubs will be begun immediately. rear silat o8 = What Might Have Been. Utica Observer, New York Correspondence. James G. Blaine and Samuel S, Cox met ina hotel corridor this afternoon. They greeted each other like the old acquaintances that they were. “You might have been,” said Blaine. “And you might have bee n,” responded Cox. The meaning of the rejoinder will strike the reader readily enough. If Blaine had taken the nomination that was given to Harrison he might now be booked for the White House. But Biaine’s remark to Cox needs explanation. Had Cox accepted Tammany’s proffer of candidacy for mayor of New York city he would now be getting ready to take that office on the first of next month. instead of working away in Con- gress. A friend of Cox tells me that the jovial Congressman had two days in which to decide. His declination was not so much because he be- lieved that Tammany couldn't elect a mayor as that he’deemed the place one of peculiar har- assments, with no reputation in it to add to his own, and no pecuniary reward unless he de- parted from his long-practiced policy of hon- esty. It is impossible to say how Blaine felt when he shook hands with Cox and they ex- changed remarks about what might have been, but he looked quite good-naturea and content. Mrs. Cleveland in Philadelphia. THE PRESIDENT WILL RESIDE IN ORANGE, X. 3., AFTER HIS TERM OF OFFICIAL LIFE EXPIRES. Mrs. Cleveland, who is now the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Wood, at Germantown, near Phila- delphia, yesterday morning took a long drive im the country and at night dined with Mr, and Mrs. George W. Childs, who had invited Bishop Potter, of New York; Mr. A. J. Drexel, Miss Kate Drexel, and Mr. Eugene Winthrop to meet her. ‘The Philadelphia Press says: It is now quite decided that upon the expiration of his term the President and Mrs. Cleveland will reside at Orange, N. J., and Mr. Cleveland will have an importa: ines occupation in New York. The President has been offered the manage- ment of several important financial institutions in New York city, and it is understood that he has quite decided to accept one of the offers, He has also been tendered some law partner- ships in New York, but it is said that he has determined not to return to the practice of law b vee andsimple. His decision in favor of New jersey as a residence, it is said, is in accord- ance with the wishes of some of the best-known leaders of the democratic party of that state. They waited on him a few days ago, and his decision, it is said, was reached after their in- terview with him. Some of them consider it certain that he will remain in politics, A Buffalo special to the Press says: Judge Joseph L. Fairchild has received a letter from President Cleveland containing photographs of the chief executive and his wife with their autographs. Jndge Fairchild would not allow it to be published in full. The President, after referring to the pictures, says: “I am now ao the days until March 4, when ee. ee ees Tatep To Suoot His Wire axp Davonter.— Herman Luther and his wife, of Detroit, were divorced recently, and yesterday a sale of Luther's property by order of court took Luther bid it in, but being unable to vs deposit, it was resold and got it, i revolver and 2 E i the not THE WOMEN WHO VOTED. Some Phases of Election Day. From the Boston Transcript. Such ladies as the Listener has met who voted yesterday are very well pleased with the movement. Some of them do not care so much for the specific result in the balloting as they do for the demonstration that the woman's vote can be made a power in the community. “What = hts me,” said Mrs, X—, morning, wi @ laboring oar in race, “is that all the stock predictions about woman suffrage are proved by yes- terday’s experience. ‘Women wan't take the trouble to vote,’ men have always said, ‘if they think they are ging to get their bonnets wet.’ Now what was the result yesterday? The day was an epitome of the Beluge, and yet the women’s vote was got out very fully in- deed, and specially in the precincts where our contemptuous male friends would have expected the fear of wettin; bonnets to be greatest. Ward XI, on the Back bay, contains a pret fair proportion of the woman-afraid-of-her-| t element, and yet what was the story told in that ward? In the first precinct, 59 women out of the registry of 70 voted. That was the lowest proportion in the ward, for in the second precinct, 101 out of are of 115 voted; in precinct 8, 149 out of 154 voted, and in ‘precinct 4, 239 out of 247. I have taken the trouble to see how the men’s vote in the same ward compared with the women’s, and I find that inevery precinct, with the exception of the first, the Proportion of registered women who voted was considerably — than the —— of regi much for the bay. Al ionable part of the West End the story was the same. one of the precincts there, a friend of mine who had registered was visited by ono of the committee in hot haste, early in the afternoon, and told that she was the only regis- tered woman in the precinct who had not voted, and that she must come out at once. It happened, however, that she had voted a few minutes before, after the member of the com- mittee had left the polling place. So that completed the entire women's fist in that pre- cinet. Was ‘there any precinct in the city where the entire registration of men voted?” This last —— was addressed to Grigsby, who is well known asa scoffer on the subjert of woman ety d who had come in in time to hear the last of this statement. “‘Scarcely,” said he; “but see here; the women, according to the figures, didn’t cast but about 17,000 votes—16,947 one paper has it—out of their total registration of 20.216. Quite a lot of a have been afraid of getting wet after “That figure,” said the lady, “is obtained by subtracting the total of Mr. Schindler's vote, which was largest on the school committee list, from the total of Hart's and O'Brien's vote, which represented the whole of the male vote. But I know perfectly well that a good many women did not vote for Mr. Schindler. They scratched him a good deal—don’t you smile, now, at the poor jokes that your own idle mind suggests—and the 16,947 total, therefore, merel represents the minimum of what the women’s vote could have been. Unfortunately there is no way of getting at it from the returns, though the committee's check-books ought to show it. As a matter of fact, I suppose that very nearly 19.000 women must have voted.” Grigsby was about to make some cynical re- mark but Mrs. X— did not stop to listen to it. “And here is this very significant thing,” she went on: “Where the women’s vote was furthest below the registry must have been in south Boston and at the north end, and in the other quarters where the bonnet question was not supposed to have cut any figure, because the women who voted were expected to come to the polls with shawls over their heads. So there is that masculine objection to woman's voting disposed of all in one day. And for the sake of this proof I am just glad that the weather yesterday was outrageous, instead of being fine, like to-day.” Since this conversation the Listener hasheard of any number of individual instances and oc- currences from which the woman suffragists derive satisfaction. Of course the absolute de- corum which was maintained at all the poll- places was one of the main sources of congrat- ulation. The male politicinns were considera- bly surprised at the sagacity and “smartness” of the women ballot distributors in discoverin, the split tickets and other electoral tricks, and their pertinacity in circumventing them. In one ward, where a diversion had been made by putting upon the school committee ticket the name of a man who had refused to run, and where another name had been purposely mis- spelled, the ladies politely pursued the voters with the information that the ticket was a fraud; and their warfare upon this ticket was so ef- fective that not one of the split tickets—though they had been prepared with a good deal of expense—got into the ballot-box. In spite of their newness to the polling place and the tricks of the politicians, the women yesterday certainly showed themselves sha: eyed and self-possessed. Their feminine quick- ness is likely to put a new stumbling block into the way of managers who undertake to produce political results by pure trickery. ——— 0 A Tantalizing Composer. HOW VON SUPPE CONCLUDES HIS OPERAS IN THE NICK OF TIME. From Julius Konried’s Memoirs. Von Suppe is said to be the despair of operatic managers. When he was underan engagement to write “Donna Juanita” for the Karl theater, the anxious directors one day called upon him and asked how the opera was getting on. It was then advertised to be produced in eight weeks’ time, ‘Well, I have made a beginning,” said Suppe; “I have just bought some music paper, and he exhibited his purchase. He then promised to deliver the score in a fort- night. At the expiration of three weeks only the first act was ready. Another three weeks st. and the second act was handed in. rom that time onward Suppe supplied the score at the rate of a page or two a day, and it was only on the occasion of the final rehearsal, within a few hours of the production of the opera, that he brought with him the conclud- ing number. e je also composed the most popular numbers in “Fatinitza” at the eleventh hour. At the rehearsal of that opera Jauner, the manager, suggested an addition to the third act. Next day at noon, seven hours before the representa- tion, Suppe Spree with the ‘Fatinitza March,” which has since been played on every street-o1 in Europe. et-organ in Europe | John C. Calhoun’s Homestead. HIS GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER TRYING TO PREVENT SOUTH CAROLINA FROM GETTING IT, A Charleston special to the Philadelphia Press, December 16, says: In the United States district court to-day Judge Simonton issued an injunction restraining R. W. Simpson, executor of Thomas G. Clemson, from conveying Fort Hill, the homestead of John C. Calhoun, over to the state of South Carolina. Clemson was the son-in-law of Calhoun. and when he died last summer he left a will devising Fort Hill and personal property to the amount of $10,000 to the state for a agricultural college. This was a great surprise to Clemson’s relatives, as they thought he was a very poor man. They wrote to a grocer not long before his death au- thorizing him to supply the old man with gro- ceries. The heir to the estate was Miss Isabelle Lee, —— = Gideon op — ies Cece roker, and great-gran iter of John C. Calhoun. Her father at onoe began to look after her interests. Suit was begun, and the injunction to-day was the first step in the liti- gation. The acceptance of the bequest was made an issue in the last campaign, and was the occasion of much bitter litieal feeling. There isa large element in the state who re- gard the acceptance of the bequest as robbing Miss Lee of her birthright: Thematter is now before the legislature, where some sharp de- bates are taking place." The property has been accepted by the house, but it is thought the ser will reject it. ——eee—____ Killed by Electricity. SHOCKING DEATH OF A BOY IN THE QUAKER CITY. A Philadelphia special to the New York Sun says: The body of little Theodore Kimmel- heim, eleven years old, lay im his parents’ house, 431 West Norris street, to-night looking as though it had been pulled out of a fiery red men. in the fash- ata PHYSICAL CULTURE. How Young Women are Benefited by Gymnasium Exercise. From the Brooklyn Eagle. There has grown up in New York of late years a passion for physical culture that fairly rivals that of the old Greek days, but in this “woman century” the beau sex permit the masculine half of creation no exclusive right, and share every one of their amusements and their labors. The consequence is that the young women are just as keen after physical development as the men, and have taken the most practical method of attaining it by or- ganizing an athletic club for themselves. The building for this club is going up next to the Berkeley lyceum, where at present they have their classes in full operation. They are to have every appliance known to the male gym- nasium for the development of muscle, and — ~~ — the swim! ans. fe Price are found so im) tan junc’ gymna- siums, The wens takes every form imagina- ben thane = women aed =a ape ion of caring for +3 vomen's physical loveliness and who, in the flood tide of this new passion, are doing ex- tremely well. Women have learned at last that the firmest and broadest basis upon which beauty is built and its greatest preservative is perfect health, not alone the health which is mere freedom from , but the BLOOMING EXUBERANCE OF ANIMAL PERFECTION. Even the women most indifferently gifted by nature have invariably some one or more charms, which, if developed to their highest capacity, would go far toward atoning for and obscuring defects. And no one in rich, vital health can be altogether ugly. The freshness of her skin and the brightness of her eyes are sure comcomitants, and where is the woman with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes who is al- together unattractive? The sex has grappled with this fact and the result is that dumb-bells, Indian clubs, the trapeze and the bath are all made to aid in the improvement of the com- plexion, the rounding of contours, and the ac- rt of grace and freedom of movement. nyone who knows how to add to a woman's physical beauty is safe to succeed. A female physician in this city teaches a scries of exercises known as the Swedish move- ment. Some one in Sweden made an elaborate study of all the muscles with regard to the special movements required to develop any one part of the body. He found that even the worst cases of lack of pro- portion and symmetry could be to a great ex- tent remedied by this system and he laid down rules of formulas therefor and inaugurated it under the title of the Swedish movement. This woman has been to Sweden and studied | there under the teachers of this science, and | is now prepared to in great measure correct | the =e ect of one’ ents and the unkind- | ness of nature. She has classes that come to have their lean and ugl and full, and they stand before her while she | directs, and they solemly wag their heads and | shrug their ‘shoulders, and toss their | arms in the air, ail toa measured rhythm and a strict rule. OTHERS COME FOR BENT BACKS and winged shoulder blades which have been caused by the too early use of stays, stooping over school desks; and after the scrawny throated have had their day's fill ot pro e88 to that smooth, firm column for her head which is every woman's ideal, the bent-backed women are put through a manual which is warranted to straighten their spines and reduce the angu- lar projection of their shoulder blades, and which is said in time to make the back which is straight. slender and thinly covered with a cushion of firm muscles, such as the dress- maker hails with joy, for she knows such a back makes an easy fit. After them comes the | flat-chested women who go through a very elaborate and long continued course, but are said to come out of it with soft round contours, The thin-armed, lean-limbed, flat-waisted, and every other sort of woman who “is what she hadn't ought to be” as regards symmetry and grace, work, work, work at these classes, and some of them are no doubt marvelously im- proved and developed by the growth and strengthening of flaccid muscles. the exercise of limbs almost withered from disuse, and, best of all, the quick, steady pumping of ‘the blood from an accelerated heart through every re- motest part of the body. Ofcourse, they do all thisin classes. It has come to be so that nothing ean be done here without cooperation, and the women who are going for the development of their arms, we will say, spend their time after class in measuring ¢ach other's growth and carefully registering the result in small books or dainty tablets, where the record of their weight, size and general increase is carefully kept. It is not only the lean women, however, who are up and doing in the pursuit after beauty. At any one of these beauty doctors’ places there can be found classes of fat women who are undergoing Sreining for an unpleasant supertinity of loveliness, They wear heavy flannels and felt slippers, and run round and round a ring ina big double room until one grows dizzy to look at them. They have a eat deal of fun together, do the fat classes, for one of the favorite exercises is hurdle jumping. It seems that the effort required to und over one of these obstructions avails more than many running rounds of the floor's plain surface, so these plump and pleasing per- sons may be seen at a certain hour of the day bounding briskly over small barriers placed at intervals around the track. It generally turns into a race, and pounds of chocolate creams and marrons glaces have changed hands on the result of these hurdle events. though thereby the good work aimed at is all undone, for the trainer of the fat woman setteth her face like @ flint against the bon bon. -—— — Dimethyloxyquimzini. IT 18 SAID TO BE GETTING A STRONG HOLD UPON MANY WOMEN OF AMERICA, From the Buffalo Courier. If one-half of what the doctors are saying all over the country is true, there may soon be a greater need of a temperance reform among the women than there ever has been among the men. Strong drink, however. is not the monster by which the women may be enslaved, but a strong and poisonous drug equally bane- fui in its effect. This drug is antipyrine. The chemical name for it is “‘dimethyloxyquimzini.” but as it is rather long, and might notbe easily pro- nounced by ladies who are not orthographical experts, it hasbeen called simple antipvrine, and appears as such in the medical books, throats made round | § | in the highest Courts; therefore, beware of all imita- It is a white powder. slightly bitter, and solu- ble in water.
