AFFAIR Snake story Froun Ohio.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
A mammoth snake 1--WE will call it the
Jumbo) was discovered and killed one mile
west of the city this afternoon. 1t is now
on exhibition in the postoffice at Arcanum
The giant was first seen by one of our most
trusted citizens about 10 o'clock this fore
noon. He Immediately circulated the re-
port and formidable force of fellow-towns-
men accompanied him to the spot where he
saw it disappear. A circle was then formed,
which embraced several acres in extent,
and cautious advance was then made
towards a common center. After beating
about the bush for some considerable time,
his snakeship was finally seen by Capt
John w. Smith emerging from a
low, marshy spot, grown over
with flag, and Immediately dispatched
by him with the aid of his patent fire ex-
tinguisher which he had taken along for the
purpose of subduing the flames. as they in
tended to fire the woods if they had not
been successful otherwise. Fourteen
vehicles, great and small, accompanied the
procession back to town. Hundreds of
people have gathered to see the largest
snake ever beheld in this part of the state,
and telephones from citizens of Greenville
and surrounding towns say that they will
visit Arcanum tomorrow and view the boa,
The snake is Is feet ~ inches long, dark
brown, with cream-colored spots on the
back, and pale, greenish looking belly.
1t measures 81 inches around in its greatest
circumference and gradually taperS towards
the tail, The head is large. being 81
inches across over the eyes, and rather
small neck for so large head, it measuring
only about three inches

A Hot Day i'm Carson City.

Carson (Nev.) Appeal.
Sunday was phenOmenally hot day for
Carson City. When the sun rose over the
edge of the mountains i'll the morning it had
about twelve extra degrees of heat on it,
and by the time it had been up an hour the
tickle grass began to wilt and the leaves
the Chloride Ball club.
The hens that came out to hunt stray
bugs and worms surveyed the prospect for
a few moments, took their morning drink
and retreated into the shady henhouse.
BY noon it was just blisterlng, and If you
took hold of a brass door knob you thought
you were in Sacramento sure. People who
got all dressed for church changed their
minds, and, taking off their clothes. put
their feet to soak III a tub of water and
famed themselves.
The sun blazed and blaZed for hours and
hours, and never seemed to change its loca-
ton at all.
The dogs erawled under the house along
with the cats, both on good terms for the
time, and cows tongues tapped around
their forelegs as they walked.
The shingles turned up on the roots. and
when a man walked round the corner the
sweat ran down into his shoes and sprinkled
the sidewalk. You could bake batch of
bread in George Hark's refrigerator.
The solder on the tin roofs melted and
ran down into the gutter like rain water.
Doc Benton started out with his ice
wagon, and before he got to the postoffice
he found he was running a street-sprinkler,
and the street-sprinkling cart, right along
behind, was putting steam from all the
cracks in the box.
These are few simple facts regarding
the weather, culed along Main street, from
the truthful population of the city, and the
Appeal gives them for what they are worth.

Naming Youngsters.

A good deal of complaint has been made
VI account of the practice among certain
breeders of using the names of famous slres,
past and present, i'll christening their young
tock, however remote the descent. 1t is
something to rejoice over that the board OF
,ensors of the National Breeders Associa-
ion has taken the matter in hand and pro-
poses to remedy it so far as standard bred
colts are concerned. This board has
passed the following:
Resolved, That every stallion and colt en-
ire should be registered under name OF a
distinguished ancestor or sire, or any mate
rial part thereof, should not be repeated IN
form, when naming animals further re moved
than the immediate progency Of such ances-
tor or SIRE
All breeders will do well to take note of
this, especially as Mr.. j. ii. Wallace, the
official registrar, in announcing the action
of the board makes an explanation and
tells breeders what they may expect. He
says that as in the past. there will be some
eases of aged horses with records, or with
great prominence in the stud that he may
be compelled to accept. He will not take
young horse, or an old one either, and let
him have name that is not right, merely
because he may have started in some race.
No breeder that is just or that has the
proper ideas of proprieties will hesitate to
accept and abide by the new rule as it is,
beyond question very desirably and sensl-

GRANTS SEASIDE COTTAGE.
The Comfortable Home in Which
the Dead Generals Family Live.

TIC ACA0 LILLY 1.-Two
The Grant cottage stands simple and I'M
pretentious, looking like what it is-a
pleasant summer home, without Ostentation
or glare. 1t stands amid the two miles or
more of villas, many Of which are other
wise, that form the west end line of Ocean
avenue, writes a Long Branch correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Times. From this
roadway the Grant cottage is partly
hidden by small grove Of frs and other
Shrubbery. in the midst of which are the
stables and lodges. A broad sweep of
lawn, set off by few large vases filled
with brilliant-hued flowers, brings the Wis
itor over gravel walk and drive to plain,
square structure of wood, with sloping roof,
broken by dOrmer windows.
The building is colored in gray and red
dish brown, which harmoniZes well with
the soft color tones of earth, sky and sea-
Broad and graceful piazZaS OH the three
sides set off the plain building. The en-
trance, which faces the avenue, is let in
deeply. so as to form another piazza on the
hall floor and deep balcony on the second,
now all brilliant with mass of radiant
flowers. The building is necessarily smaller
than III the generals lifetime.
The stables show this. but everything is
we'll kept and cared for. A quickest
hedge, thick and well trimmed. runs with
the public walk and part of the way on
either side of the grounds, below which
neat wire fence separates the Grant place
from the statelier one of George w. Childs
to the east and from very rich mans resi-
dence to the west. Gen. Grants fayorite
lounge was on the side facing the ocean and
there the family sat until quite late last
evening. Within the residence is simply
yet neatly furnished, though there are many
evidences of the great position filled by
him who has passed away.
1t is historic family group that fills lit,
and around them are souvenirs that indi-
cate the unique place its head occupied in
more than national affairs. A superb por-
trait of the general, draped with the ma
tional flag. fills the eye. On the floor of
hall and salon are seen number of superb
robes and skins--tigers', lions. panthers',
etc.--trophies probably of that famous
journey around the world. Other evil
dences are to be noticed, but my interest
was centered on the living.
The conversation was cheerful and not
notably reminiscent. 1t recalled to me
more than to the family, doubtless, my last
visit to and conversation with Gen. Grant
in this home of his personal choice. Men
ton was made of the absent sons and dates
were given of the expected visits of them
selves and families, and there was tender
mention of the absent daughter, Nellie, the
beloved one of this strongly united family.

What Does This Mean?

The Chicago Breeders Gazette publishes
The following, which seems to require an
explanation:
1 notice in your issue of July 90 that IN.
I. c. claims the checklist thing connected
with the Twin Cities meeting was the adver-
tised match race vetween johnson and Mike
Wilkes.
l do not think that the Johnson-Wilkes f1z-
Lle can be compared to the cheek Of a sec
rotary who will openly play pool box to the
tune of S., 900 day, and then make a boast
of paying as high $50 day commission to
the box. I am credbly informed that one of
the secretaries of the association did engage
IN such practices, and drivers were changed
20 meet the requirments of his tickets. 1t was
noticeable that in the Little e-Kinsman race
no pools were declared off, and it was as bare
faced job as was ever seen ON d track.
