grief, crying out, "My «iod, what can

He w ag quickly takt n away from

Which sh*- undoubtedly passed on her

she left home. Although the ground
was muddy and wet. she left no trace
of her shoes on th** fence nor did the
poultry' yard wire along the lower
we lion ot the frame indi* ate that she
had used tills as a means of prepar
ing for the leap into the basin. Her
hat. which undoubtedly fell off in her
plunge to a watery death, was filiat

having drifted in that direction with
the assistance of the east end. which
was blowing at the time.
Despuuilcncy the Cause.
Despondency, superinduced liy the
• general surroundings and conditions
of her narrowed home life on North
Seventeenth street, near Main, ami
perhaps by the state of her health,
is generally accepted us the motive
prompting the young woman to de
^ Stroy herself. That these i onditions
did not compare favorably with iter
previous home life in New York be
fore marriage in June. l?0it, to the
young tobacco dealer of Klchmond is
freely admitted and recognized by
those acquainted with the couple
Three weeks ago the wife retured
froht a trip to New York a changed
woman, as her husband expressed It.
She realised more keenly than ever
the difference between her lot in life
here and that which was hers at the
comfortable home of her parents in
the great metropolis. To friends she
frequently remarked that she was for
merly a stenographer earning a good
salary and with practically every' com
fort of Ufa at her disposnl. She un
doubtedly loved her husband, as love
goes these days, but whether this love
was strong enough to offset the ma
) terial comforts and pleasures of life
for which she yearned and longed is
another question.
Her body was shipped to New York
Thursday night, accompanied by her
husband, mother and brother.
The young woman was born in Rus
sia twenty-three years ago. She had
no children.

All of Them Eligible in Friendly Rivalry for Virginian’s Seven
Wonderful Trips Abroad—Value of Ballots
and Other Information •'
This la the second day of the great
free European trip contest for teach
era. The second c oupon la printed to
day and many of the teachers and
their friends are teething the coupons
and taking a great Interest in this
great European trip contest. Soma
very lively timea and a great contest
are promised for the seven wonder
ful trips across the Atlantic. These
trips are going to be very beneficial
to the seven lucky teachers. The stay
of six weeks In the old world will
take them to Great Britain. Holland,
Belgium, Germany. France and Swit
zerland. Many points of Interest and
historic sights will be explained In de
tailed from time to time In The Rich
stadBpont.. these trps wll be very help
tnond Virginian. Kforu an educational
standpoint, these trips will jie very
helpful and the pupils of the various
teachers are extremely Interested.
They want their teacher to go so they
can tell them shout the sights from
the other side of the (lobe. The
Travel Manager, in an interview with
several of the sohool authorities told
them he wished we could take all
the teachers, that he thought it was a
great scheme, but he could only take
seven on these vacation tours. Three
will be given from Richmond, one east
from First, Seconds Third and Fourth
Congressional Districts.
In addition to these trips oRered by
The Richmond Virginian, there will be
two valuable cash prises, the nr A
♦ 100, and the second $60. These
primes will be given to the two teach
ers scouring the largest number of
votes. This will make nice pocket
money, and also provide some addi
tional luxuries and a few smaller
trifles. A number of votes have al
ready been received by the Travel
Manager, who wishes to impress It
upon all that an early start will be
most productive. _

URGE NEW PLAN FOR

Body of the House
WASHINGTON", Dec. 2.—Dragging
tho service-frayed banners of insur
gency out from their summer rest
ing places, George W. Xorrts, K*’iiub
liran from Neoraska, und tioor leader
of the Republican insurgents, to-day
began preparations for the • timing
session of Congress
Xorris, the first of the insurgent
representative* to reach the capital,
is convinced that this will be a "big
session” for Insurgency.
' The country is nthind us." Norris
declared to-day. "The elec Jon show
ed that the tignt we progressives have
been making has won tne support of
the people. Wherever a progressive
ran on a clean progressive piau rm
without complicating issues, he won.
And w« are going to keep up the good
work.'"
Norris is of the opinion that tho
insurgents this session will concen
trate th.ir fight on the method of
appointing the commlttoes of the
House. in fait the ground work
for that fight wag quietly laid Just
before adjournment last spring. At
that time Norris introduced and had
referred to the committee on rules
a resolution which, if the insurgents
can force It through, wit) revolution
ise the conduct of business in the
House. Only a few among the insur
gents knew of the resolution, which
will probably be the basis of their
fight for the next three months.
The proposition la to take the place
of the plan for a ’ committee on com
mittees,” which the insurgent* ad
vocated last session, and Is framed as
an Improvement on that plan. It
provides for the election of the mem
bers of the principal committees.
The resolution divides ths country
Into twelve geographical divisions for
the election of majority members of
the commttM and eight divisions for
the election of minority members
The divisions are to be. as nearly as
possible, equal in representation.
Each division Is to elect a mem
ber of each of the principal commit
tees classified as "first class” by ths
resolution. This will make the big
committees of the House each have
a membership of twenty. They will
include the committee on rules, which
will name the members of the un
important committees.
•'Thls'seheme, If adopted, wiil make
the committees absolutely represent
ative and will make the House a
real representative body.” Norris de
clared to-day.
It is probable that the insurgents
will get together next week, soon
after the session opens, to caucus on
plans for the session.
The Insurgents will have difficulty
in making thetr position this year as
strong In the House as it was at the
last session. The fact that the Demo
crats will control next year will make
the present minority less likely to in
dulge in combinations. Hut the in
surgents count on galtilng many regu
lar Republican recruits to their stand
ard. The regulars, the insurgents !•«
lieve, will also favor any measure
ihat will limit the power of the ma
jority in tho next House.
