A HORRIBLE SNAKE STORY.

The following graphic description of ter
rible conflict with q rattlesnake is selected
from the Denver World:
Messrs D. S Perkins, Joseph Straley and
John f. Steinrack, a party Of Chicago tour
lists, returned yesterday from three months
trip through Park, Summit sand Granada
counties. They fitted out an outfit at Simp.
sons corral last July and drove down south.
ward, and prospected from Granite to Fort
Steele, on the Union Pacific These gentle
men relate most horrible snake story, which
will bear repeating
They were encamped in Elk Head Noun
tains, in the North Park, on the 10th of last
September, when they met with misfortune
which cost one of the party his life. The
party arrived in camp late one night after
days hunt and ramble over the hill. After a
hearty supper the party lay down in their
blankets around the fire, which had been
built in the cleft of some large quartz rocks,
and all were soon fast asleep Mr.. Straley
was awakened in the night by the heavy
weight upon his breast.
At first he supposed it was his brothers
hand but as it did not move, and becoming
nervous and alarmed, he raised his head, and
was Mortified to find q large mountain rattle
snake coiled upon his chest with his head
nestled down in the center of the coil. 1t
was nearly daylight, but Mr.. Straley was so
paralyzed with fear that he could not make a
noise, and dared not move. He recovered his
presence of mind so far as to be able to draw
the blanket over his face. This movement
startled the reptile monster, which glided
from him to his brother who was sleeping
with him.
The snake passed from his breast to his
brothers face, when, in fatal moment,
Henry Straley raised his hand to tear it away.
There was fierce rattle and loud cry from
the half-wakened boy, and the monster buried
its faDgs in his right hand, and second
time in his cheek. There was horrible
scream from Henry Straley as the poor boy
jumped to his feet while the snake glided
from the blanket to large flat rock near the
embers of the fire.
rid creature, and at the second shot brought
it down. Poor young Straley was soon suffer
ing the most intense agony. His brother at
his request cut out "a large portion of the |
cheek in hopes that the poison had not pene- |
trated very deep, and Q ligature was bound |
around the wrist of the bitten hand, which |
was bathed in cold water. But nothing the |
Mortified young man could do availed to save |
the poor boy. He died in less than two hours |
in the most terribly agony.
Had the party been supplied with plenti-
full supply of whisky, his life might have
been saved, but they had none with them.
The body changed color within three hours |
after the accident The young man con-
veyed the corpse to Fort Steele, whence it |
was shipped home to Chicago for interment.
The snake measured four feet in length and
had nine rattles, which we're taken off, and
which were shown to our reporter at the cor
raj last evening

BILE performance that is now to be witnessed
at the Fifth Avenue Theater where compa
ny of Mexican children are performing " The
Grande Duchess of Gerolstein in name,
that amazes the spectator. All the most
gifted ones belong to one family, their father
being the manager of the troupe and their
grown-up brother the leader of the orchestra
The Duchess is impersonatsd by Carmen
IND ay Moron, very small girl with pretty
and noble features and expressive eyes, who
is only eight years old. Alfred IN the usual
costumes of the impetuous Duchess, with
her trains supported by baby-boy, she goes
through the whole opera with apparent, zest,
singing all the airs allotted to her in pleas
ant voice of wonderful power for so young a
girl, and acting in remarkably effective m an
ner. The effect which this child manages to
give to the sabre song and the "Dites lui +" is
wonderful. and the action with which she
accompanies the melodies shows the possession
of rare intelligence. Oarmen's sister, Guada-
lupe, an infant aged six years. sings and acts
Wanda in pretty manner, and her two bro
theirs, Estevan aud Gabriel, aged nine and
ten, are the representatives OF Fritz and Gen.
Boum.
There are besides these about twenty other
children, of all ages from s to IL years, who
sustain the minor parts and sing in the
chorus, and show much more interest in their
work than many older performers. At the
sight OF the tiny duchess, in her green satin
gown. her golden wig and her plumed hat,
excitedly swapping the riding. whip in her lit
tie hand, in time with the measures of
"J'aime les Militaires," the sternest moralist
must be amused, whatever prejudices he may
have in favor of putting babies to bed early.
Those words of the opera which have been
retained from Meilhac and Halevy's book
have been translated into the musical Spanish.

In excavating the site of the new opera
house on the Thames embankment, in Lon.
don, the workmen found q sword encrusted
with rust, but with pummsl Of solid gold.
The weapon has been pronounced by antigua
ries to be probably Of the age of Edward l. or
H. 1t is supposed that the sword was either
lost or thrown overheard in a scuffls, or in an
attempt at rescue in a boat, the place where
the weapon was found corresponding exactly
to the line usually taken by boats conveying
prisoners from the palace at Westminster to
tbs Tower.

The famous Hotel du Louvre, says Paris
letter, has just been sold, together with its
furniture and fitting, and it was bought for
17,500,050 francs (s3, 50O,010). What would
have been done with it if it had not been
sold can hardly be imagined. The site is, of
course, valuable still, but probably not half so
valuable as it was when q splendid court re-
sided six months of the year at the Tuileries.
The burning of the hereditary palace of the
French monarchs has ruined all that part of
the Rue de Rivoli which extends from the
Louvre to the Rue Castiglione, and the line of
hotels once filed with magnates and courtiers
from all countries, have now lost their
fashionable character, because they are in
convenient and too far removed from the
center of Paris, without any compensating
advantages beyond fine view over the
Tuileries gardens and the banks of the Seine.
Ten years ago the case was very different.
The Rue de Rivoli, between tie Place de ia
Concorde and the Tuileries, was then the
state avenue to the Imperial residence, and
the Empress Eugene was with difficulty pre-
vented by prudent counsel from insisting
that all the householders in that
part Of the Rue de Rivoli should be
compelled to gid their balconies,
decorate them with flowers and hang out gor.
geous tapestry. Perhaps, after all, it would
not have been such bad business; for the
gayer and more splendid Paris can be made
the more visitors it will attract and the more
money will be spent there. The new proprie-
tors of the Hotel de Louvre are also owners
of the immense store which is located in the
same building Should they turn the hotel
into part of their shop, they will have the
largest store in Europe, and should they de-
eide to continue the hotel, they may open the
most convenient boarding and lodging house
in the world.
