ARE THEY MARRIED?



NEW YORK, July 29.-Mrs. Langtry has
gone to housekeeping in a villa at Long
Branch for the summer, and in manner to
create the belief that she and Freddie Geb-
hardt are already married. 1t is currently re-
ported at the great Jersey resort that a quiet
ceremony followed quiet divorce in June,
and that q honeymoon is now going on.
Neither the lady nor the gentleman will an
swer question ON the subject. They went to
Long Branch about July and took rooms at
the West End Hotel for q week. Now they
are domiciled in the former residence of Geo.
", Brown, an eX-mayor of Long Branch.
GebhaTdt's trunk went there in the same
load with the Lilys, his horses and carriages
were put into the barn, and he is a completely
home-like dweller. So are Mrs. Langtry s
mother and two nieces, who lately came from
England. A confederation of the wedlocl1
theory is found in this assemblage of Mrs.
Langtry' s relatives under the same roof with
Gebhardt But nobody knows for q certainty.
The positive announcement of marriage in
September was recently made by ex-Judge
Bedford and two other members of the Union
club, as having been made in Mrs. Langtry' s
presence, at dinner party, and assented to by
her. Subsequently she said that a news article,
in which that story was told in connection with
an account of her California purchases of prop
erty, was "packed with lies.' SO her curious
neighbors at the seashore can only guess at her
while thew stare.

HE IS NOT AFRAID OF SNAKES.
The Peculiar Offer of Buffalo Man In the
Intereat of Science.

WASHINGTON, July 29.--The different de-
partments are constantly in receipt of curious
communications from cranks all over the coun-
try. Mono of the recent letters is quite go GU
rious, however, as that Witch was received by
DIR. Narrow, tho curator of reptiles in tho
Smithsonian. Dr. Yarrow is one of tho ply
sicians who have been In charge of the case Of
General Sheridan since the beginning of the
latters illness. For long time
the doctor and his assistant at the
Smithsonian, Mr. Rheem, have been engaged
III experimenting with various specifics for rat
tlesnake poisoning. Experiments were tried
Tor the most part on chickens and rats Some
OF them survived the bites of the shakes after
certain treatment, and others died. No GER
tain remedy was found. In prosecuting these
experiments little den of snakes has been
maintained at tho Smithsonian. To get the
venom with which to conduct tho test
wool, and the venom was extracted from the
wool by soaking it in glyeerine. The results
OF the experiments have been treated of ut
great length Recently DR.. Yarrow received
tho result of the publicity given the expert
ments, the following letter, written by q man
in Buffalo, n. ":
"a few days ago l read an account of tho
experiments you are conducting in order to
obtain cure for snake bites. The article
stated that small animals only had been eX-
perimented with, and that it would be impos-
sble TO tell whether or not cure had been
discovered until the remedy has been tested
upon human being. have n proposition to
mako to you, which is that will come to
Washington and permit the virtue Of the
remedy to be tried upon me il we can come to
an agreement in regard to terms. am willing
to be inoculated as many times as you think
necessary to mako my system proof against
the snake poison; and wien you think am
safe, comparatively speaking, from the effects
OF the virus will let the snake bite me so that
it can be established beyond doubt that you
have . genuine specific; also whom it las been
proved that am proof against tho rattlesnake
bite you could try the blacksnake or the
moccasin, or any other variety Of poisonous
snakes that you may have. My terms are not
very steep. | will want sl5 per week as long
as the experiments last and 500 at the finish.
In case the remedy should fail aud fatal re-
suit ensue | would want to be buried decent
ly after my body had been examined by ply
siclans to see the working Of the poison"
There was no question Of tho rcasonableness
of the terms offered. There are probably few
men who would care to be bitten by rattle
snakes for twice tho money. Professor Goode
OF the Smithsonian, to whom tho application
was referred, thought the risk was too great,
and so informed DR.. Yarrow, who notified the
applicant. In reply TO his letter he had an
other from the Buffalo man expressing great
regret that his offer had been refused. lie
also wrote that what constituted the chief at
traction TO him in the experiment was the ole
ment of danger.

Editorial IsIies.

Ell PAso, Tex, July 31.--The state Of Chi
hauhau is following the example set by the
federal administration in the city of Mexico
by imprisoning the editors Of the papers pub
lished within the borders Of the state when
ever they print anything that is distasteful 10
tho leading officers. Several editors are in
jail now in the city of Chihaubau. Theoretically
the utmost liberty Of tho press is guaranteed
by the constitution Of not only the republic Of
Mexico bnt also OF the different states, but
practically this constitutional provision is con-
stantly disregarded In the city Of Mexico
the prison Of Belem is full Of incarcerated edi-
tors, and now the state Of Cbihauhau is trying
TO emulate its example.
