ANOTHER VICTORY FOR BROOKLYN.
THE COLUMBUS TEAM DEFEATED IN PITCH

Frs BATTLE-RECORDS OF THE CLUBS.
A cold, penetrating wind whstled through the
grand stand At Washington Park, Brooklyn yesterday,
making the 5000 spectators think of winter and wish
for overoats and heavy wraps. The game was be-
tween the Brooklyn and Columbus teams, and as Is gen
orally the case when those two mines play, the bat
ito was worth witnessing. The eX Brooklyn players
on the Columbus team played against their old com
panlons I'm a manner which showed that they had lost
all love for their former GOwanus friends.
1t largely pitchers battle, both Baldwin and
Caruthers doing excellent work Had Baldwlns sup
port been better the result Of the game might have
been different. The score certainly would have
been closer. GreenwoOd's homern drive In the
second inning was the batting feature Of the game
The home team scored two runs in the fourth In
ming and had three left on bases and yet only
one hit was made. In the seventh inning three runs
went to Brooklyns record, yet not basehit was
made. The score was as follows:

the visitors had lead Of three runs, but the sena-
TORS tied the score earning three runs on two singles

A Snake Charmer's Training.

"A SNAKE Cnarmers framing.
Mcconnell is 27 years old. He was
brought up in Lords Valley, a lonely
part Of Pike county, Pa. When he was
a boy, playmates were few, and he
used to amuse himself by hunting up
rattlesnake dens and killing the rep
tiles. He had no trouble in finding
them, for the country about his home
was very rocky and rattlesnale were
plentiful. He became so used to this
sort of amusement that he lost all fear of
the snakes. He knew their habits per-
fectly, and frequently handled them.
He kept his parents in mortal terror,
for it was not an uncommon thing for
him to bring a rattler to the house and
drop it upon the kitchen floor. His
father used to keep loaded shotgun
handy, to kill the rattlesnakes that
Johnny brought home. When he
grew old he collected den of them.
They were a constant joy to him, and
he was never weary of attending to
their wants. He never used forked
stick to pin the snakes fast before he
captured them, but used to aggravate
them, until they struck at him, and
then, while they were uncoiled and un-
able to spring. he would pick them up
in his hands. About six years ago he
started out to exhibit his pets. He has
travelled all over the country.-New

ACurioas Indian Story.

Reports from the government agents in
British Columbia state that deplorable
state Of affairs exists in the northern part of
that province. A tribe of Indians called tho
kwagutls have for generations INDUCED in
cannibalism as one Of their religious ordin-
ances. This tribe believes that q spirit called
Hamadtz lives in the mountains and entirely
subsists upon human flesh. Years ago q
number of the tribo went Into the mountains
and had communion, it is said, with the
ghoul Hamadtz, after which, ON returning to
their people they became man.eaters and
were known az Of the Hamadtz. It he's been
discovered that slave or captive was killed
and presented to the old Hamaktz, who ate
the corpse In the presence of q general Roth.
ertng Of the tribe. Afraid now of the white
men they content themselves mostly With
stealing dead bodies These usually having
bsen drying long time, the fleshis described
as quite aavorless. the brains being luxury.
After eating, the Hamadtz do not taste food
for some days. but drink warm water up to
the time Of eating another corpse. In
public the initiate, whenever he appears from
the woods, bites indiscriminately, women
being, however, generally exempt. Formerly
the faces were bitten, noses and ears especial
", but now the initiate merely bites the
flesh ofa mans arm with his teoth. The
father of the initiate pays everybody who
has been bitten from two to ten blankets.
There are few men In the Kwagutl tribes
unscarred by this practice. Thero are from
three to twenty Hamadtx in every village
and one Of them will probably eat offour or
five corpses In o life time.
