WASHINGTON, July 2s.--If anything were
necessary to make good what has been ap-
parent for several years, that Massachusetts,
avenue is to be the great fashionable thorough
fare of the city. it may be found in the number
of distinguished public men who have recently
established themselves in that street. near
Dupont circle. Attorney General Miller who
will soon probably be promoted to the Supreme
Bench, has just taken house next door to the
elegant residence of ex-senator Van wyck,
which has been leased by Chief Justice Fuller.
A little farther east Secretary Proctor will
reside and entertain. Near Scott circle, on
east of the Scott circle, between that
and Thomas statue, are the resi-

Four Rnftlers Create Consternafion Among
the Waiting Passengers.
CINCINNATI, July 28.-There was a scene of
wild commotion in the crowded waiting rooms
of the c., h & d. depot yesterday afternoon,
caused by the sudden arrival of unwelcome
visitors. They were snakes and of the variety
known as rattlers. Their snakelets, four of
them. were in the baggage room awaiting trans
portation to a museum in New Orleans. How
they got out no one knows. The first intima-
tion of their presence was wild shrek from
female, who hastily climbed on to seat, pull
ing her skirts up around her ankles.
A snake about five feet long was crawling
slowly across the floor, his head undulating
first in one direction and then the other, as if
uncertain where to go, and closely following
his first sDakeship were three others, all wrig-
Cling in the liveliest manner.
There was hurried scurrying of the hundred
or more commuters in the room, and standing
room on the benches was speedily at a pre-
MUM. Several passengers forgot all about
their trains and rushed up Fifth street. Finally
Depot Watchman Dennis ODowd appeared,
and with his cane and poker picked up one of
the squlrming rattlers and put him back in the
box. Snake No. 2 was found curled up undera
stool in front of the lunch counter, on top of
which was standing scared girl. He. too, was
put in the box. By this time, however. the
other two reptiles got away, and the closest
search failed to find them.

A WESTERN cotemporary says that as
the salt combination can only increase the
per capita cost of living about five cents
per annum, it is the principle and mot the
direct pecuniary injury" which is to be
objected to. Nevertheless, if by perver-
sion or violation of the laws, anyone is
enabled to levy an illegal tax of five cents
per capita on 60, OoO, 900 people. the revenue
of 100000 per year, drawn from the
pockets of the people, deserves to take rank
as a very positive and direct pecuniary
injury.

JAY GOULD is quoted as saying. ST have

one sanguine cotemporary construes this as
indicating that Mr.. Gould is satisfied with
the present extent of his possessions. The
inference is not correct Supposing that
Mr.. Gould's statement could be relied upon
as expressing his real thoughts-which un-
fortunately is far from the case-this remark
could only be accepted as meaning that in
future deals Mr.. Gould will let other peo-
pie have the railroads and he will take the
money.

q Strange Predicamenf.

Strange Predicament.
SEDALIA, NO.. July 2s.-Last winter good.
looking widow, Mrs Sallie Aldred, who was
divorced from her husband and lives in Har-
per, Kan. visited Sedalia. While here she was
wooed and won by one John Carbon. After a
brief courtship their affection was consum-
mated by procuring a marriage license of the
County Recorder here and being united in
marriage. They were married in the Court
House at Sedalia on the 14th day of February
1889, by Judge q. F. Bailey. Probate Judge OF
Pettis county.
Immediately after the ceremony he called
her ''baby" and she called him pet" and they
embraced with kiss. The certificate of mar
riage is now on record in the Recorders office
with Judge Bailey's return. The couple lived
together but a short time here when they found
their tempers incompatible and separated by
mutual divorce. She went hack to her home
in Kansas where she has child. and he went
his way elsewhere.
1t has been reported in and around the
woman's Kansas Home that she was married
here, and the report caused considerable gos-
sip. The woman bitterly denied it and wrote
letter to an acquaintance here asking him if
she was married here. She says she has long
been subject to fits, and if she was married
here she says she was married in ft or during
a period of mental lmbecility. She claims to
have no recollection of the marrIge.
A copy of the certificate was sent her The
ceremony was witnessed by several persons.

stated In court that hoOdoO is a something
which pursues a man with misfortune much

hardly what we understand BY that term
