A BATTLE WITH RATTLESNAKES.

W. P. Hale and six companions, Of
Roses Switch, six miles west of Port
Jervis, N. Y, had thrilling encoun-
ter with rattlesnakes on Sunday at
a ledge known as the Snakes Den.
1t was very warm, but it was not
thought the reptiles had recovered
from their torpidity, and the party
walked almost to the heart of the
rattlesnakes' home before they made
the alarming discovery that the
snakes had crawled into the brush
to sun themselves and were raising
their heads all along the path they
had come and were darting their poi
sonous fangs in and out in very
threatening manner. Luckily the
young men had cut heavy sticks and
tucking their trousers in their high
topped boots, they started back along
the path. To the right and left APP
peared the rattlesnakes by the hum
dreds, the underbrush seeming to
swarm with their swaying heads and
glistening backs. The party struck
with their heavy clubs right and left,
the reptiles sounded their rattles and
leaped angrily at the legs of their as
sailants and formed in battle array
in the path as if to cut off their escape.
1t was trying struggle, and when at
last the wornout men had forced their
way outside the dangerous circle they
were able to count more than fifty
huge snakes dead in the path, many
measuring six feet in length. They
brought them inio town to-day and
sold them to a dealer in snake-oil and
rattles.

THE DISEASE OF AN ELECTRIC
SHOCK.-Chief Cronin, of the Wash
linton Fire Department, is suffering
from an ailment that is attributed to
an electric shock. Attending a fire
on the roof of a building he stepped
on an electric light wire that had be-
come deranged in its insulation, and
he received terrific shock. He sup
posed that the injury was only tenn
porary, but the weeks of misery
which have passed since have shown
atLerwise. There is a nervous disor-
der which puzzles the physicians. In
the morning, upon awakening, the
chief is affected with dizziness to the
extent that, strong man as he is, he
has repeatedly tainted away. Dur
ing the day he suffers from feeling
of depression and restlessness, except
when something occurs to engross his
mind. He Graves excitement contin
nally, and the only hours of restful
ness and mental satisfaction he ex
periences are when he has a fire OF
hand. The changing of the bells h'
halls as the most welcome of sounds
The doctors have prescribed one
thing and another without favorable
result.

GIVE WOMEN A FAIR SHOW.

By what principle of justice is it
that women in many of our cities get
only two-thirds as much pay as men,
and in many cases only half? Here
is the gigantic injustice-that for
work equally we'll, if not better done,
woman receives far less compensa-
ton than man. Start with the nat
ional Government. Women clerks
in Washington get 5000 for doing
that for which men receive $1,000.
The wheel of oppression is rolling
over the necks of thousands of wo-
men who are at this moment in de-
spair about what they are to do.
Many of the largest mercantile es-
Establishments of our cities are acces-
sorry to these denominations, and from
their large establishments there are
scores of souls being pitched off into
death, and their employers know it.
Is there a God? Will there be a
judgment? | tell you if God rises up
to redress women's wrongs, many of
our large establishments will be swol-
lowed up quicker than South Amer

BLOOD UNDER A MICROSCOPE.
From the San Francisco call.

| WV FftN 'Iu6e Il fU1tCt0CO OUtt.
''The only instance on record when
the blood of two persons was compar-
ed in criminal trial. said DR.. Pr
per to Call reporter yesterday, "was
in murder case in Chicago. The
comparison settled the innocence of
the woman on trial for her life. The
story of the bloody transaction is as
follows: A comely woman, with $2O,-
900, married a man in Chicago, and
placed her snug little fortune in his
business. In the course of time he
began to abuse her, and finally she de-
cided to apply for divorce. The
double calamity of losing a woman to
beat and the withdrawal of her 500
600 from his business made the brute
furious, and the next morning he was
found dead in the corner of his bed
chamber, a bullet having gone through
his heart. His wife was found wound
ed in another part of the room. She
said that her husband had come home
the night before in a rage and began
to abuse her while she was in bed;
that he hit her ON the head with the
butt of his revolver while her head
was on the pillow, and spattered
blood over the linen; that she jump
ed up, and he shot her, inficting a
slight flesh wound in her side. She
then rushed at him, and, snatching
the revolver from him, shot him
through the heart. He reeled to the
corner where he was found and died.
The prosecution did not believe her
story, and set up the theory that she
had shot him while he was asleep and
dragged him to the corner and then
inflicted the wound on herself. The
carpet where the dead man lay was
saturated with blood. According to
the theory Of the prosecution the
blood on the pillow was also his. I
put sections of the pillow with blood
upon it under the microscope, and
drew on cardboard the shape of
the corpuscles, enlarged about 1000
diameters. l then put the blood on
the carpet under the microscope in
the same way. The comparison was
wonderful. The cOrpuscles on the
pillow were bright, round and clean.
They were beautiful. The corpus
cles on the carpet were large and dis
figured, the result of disease. The
comparison settled that question at
once. The blood corpuscles were as
different as day and night, and sus-
tanned the woman's account of the
shooting. She was acquitted on that
and other evidence.
"As between human blood and a
dogs blood, the microscope enables
the expert to determine precisely
whether a specimen is from human
being or dog. But it is impossible
to determine between human blood
and hogs blood. This fact convict
ed one man that l know of. He
claimed that the blood on his clothes
was dogs blood; l was able to show
that it was not dogs blood, but if he
had said that it was hogs blood 1
could not have contradicted that
statement"

A North Carolina negro served a
term in the penitentiary for burglary,
in the commission of which he robbed
a store of $1,000. The money re-
manned safely hid while he was in
prison, but soon as he was released
he began to draw ON the deposit,
which was made under a rock in a
mountain. He was atched, and the
money seized. He was indignant at
the seizure, contending that he had
honestly earned the fruits of his
crime by serving three years in pris-
on. His claim was held, to be inval-
id, and the money was restored to its
rightful owner.
