New York Times.
ALBANY, February 19.-His lordship
Garmoyle, he of the Fortescue affair, has
had an adventure, perhaps the first of
any note since he reached these 'blawst-
ed" shores. He has been spending some
days In Canada, and ON Monday he
took the train south for Gotham. 1t
was one Of the stormiest days of the
winter. He was accompanied by a friend
whom he called colonel, a gentleman of
the world, who was evidently acting as
guide and tutor. The Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company's tracks run along the
western shore of lake Champlaiu and
through a country the bleakest imaginable
10 winter. His lordHhip was attentive to
everything he saw along the route, and
when the now began to fall fast and the
gusts of wind from down the lake whirl-
ed the flakes go furiously that further OBJ
servation was use!es, he pulled down the
window curtain and engaged his compau-
lon in deep and earnest conversation
about America.
The train ran slower and slower around
curves and through cuts, and at midnight
1t stopped, stuck fast In a drift. About
morning his lordsbip became aware Of
something unusual, and slipping into his
clothes, he braved the nipping atmosphere
from the car platform. One sniff satisfied
him, and he resigned himself to the
novelty Of the situation. Half a mile
away, through drifts that reached the
thighs, was the Allen house, the summer
hotel which entertains Westport's visitors
in the hot months. The smoke was wor.
rying Its way u upward In poetic curls, and
as his lordship surveyed it he declared
that he could almost smell a broiling ven
ison steak. There were fifty other I'M
fortunates on the train, who made a bee
line for the hotel. Assemblyman O'Neil
taking the lead in long, swinging strides.
His lordship fell into line, and after many
founders and vigorous EXPLANATIONS the
hungry caravan reached the haven. The
meal was brought and served, and as a
sors of Growing glory thelandlord brought
| out some pies, with the remark that they
| were the choicest of his wife's bake for
many a day.

specimens that would dull the knives of a

berries, these little round things which
you see swimming about the juice, were
picked from yon hills"
His lordship nibbled, then tasted, loon
took a bite, aud finally commenced an
excavation that ruin"d the whole intsr!or
of the pie for the other guests. Three
meals and three Piles did his lordship en-

the drift and the Jolly lark came to an

encounter with a New York huckleberry

BIG ANNA, THE SERPENT.
After Two Months Fasting the Great
Snake Takes a Light Lunch.


Chicago News.
Big Anna, the twenty.foot anaconda at
the South Side dime museum, woke up
from o three weeks nap yesterday after
noon and quietly { awled out of her
skin. That was q sign that she was
hungry, so the museum people gave her q
live chicken, which she presently crushed
between the folds of her body and then
quietly swallowed it. Big Anna ate four
chickens for her Christmas dinner and
partook of nothing else from that time
until yesterday.
Mr.. Kohl waited to give Big Anna a
FEAST last night after the museum had
been closed. A big slate-colored hen
with great yellow legs was thrown into
the cage ono top of the snake,
The hen settled down with an
uneasy cackle upon the glitterlng scales
of its enemy and then quietly rode about
as the snake glided over It's blanket. Big
Anna lazi'y regarded the hen, dashed her
tongue out a few times and hissed loudly
at intervals. A third of the way down
her body a great lump revealed the place
where the other chicken was concealed.
That moriel seemed TO be enough for her,
for she refused to taste of the other
chicken while the people watched her
movements. Her appetite was more
dainty than it had been at other times.
1t is said that once at Lincoln, Neb., she
ate q Mexican deg, collar and all, which
had made the fatal blunder of getting
within her reach.
THAT snake Ia worth $500 more d.
rectly after she had eaten than she was
BEFORE" said Mr.. Kohl, ''for her feeding
is a sign that she will live at least an
other year."

1t was over a year ago that Bliss, OF
Ninth Avenue, carried home seven or
eight of the hand-grenades used to
throw at a blaze and knock an ia
cipient conhagration into a.. CONT
mental cooked hat. He had never met
with any loss by fire, but he felt it in
his bones that the hour was coming,
and he meant to be prepared for it.
He put the bottles up in q rack IN the
hall, and he never went past them
without wishing for an opportunity
to test their merits. He didn't want
to be routed out at midnight and find
the roof a blaze, but if he could be on
hand when the kitchen stove-pipe
warmed up the ceiling overhead, or a
lamp exploded up stairs, or the ash
barrel got up bonfire on its own &C
count, he'd show his nerve and laugh
at the Fire Department.
The other night he gave a party, and
the long-wished for opportunity came.
Some one swung a gas-jet against a
curtain, and there were shouts and
screams and great confusion. Bliss
was cool as ice He fell over a chair,
upset a young women, and rushed
into the kitchen and got tea cup of
water and doused on the flames. This
didn't do any good and he kicked
over understand and pounded at the
flames with rug. Then he rushed
after more water, and this time 1T was
the contents of the dipper which he
emptied over the champion progressive
eucharist instead of the blazing cur
tain. 1t was not until the smoking
remnants had been dragged down and
flung out doors that Bliss thought of
his grenades, and it wasn't two min
utes after he had got hold of one be-
fore he had kncked down two men,
smashed the parlor mirror and cleared
the house of the crowd. Some one
turned in the alarm and the engines
came out, but Bliss waved seven dol
