A Snake Charmsr swears or Affer an
Evening OF Terror.
ESPECIAL rEHEeRAlI TO THE DTsPATcH.l

"A ESPECIAL TE1EGRA1r TO THE DTsPATcH.i
NEW YORK., June 1.-Snake Charrner
John Mcconnell was hastily summoned
from his home TO the Eighth Avenue
Museum last evening, to persuade w1lloWy
and elusive rattler which had escaped from
the snakebox to return thereto. Mr.. Nc
tConnell got up feeling a trife rocky. He
became conscious that he had a system, and
appreciated that demijohn of whisky was
a little more than the system could assim-
ilate without something of strain. He
put on all his apparel except necktie,
which he had mislaid the night before. He
saw the tie on the floor, and was about to
pick it up when 1t rose on its tail and began
Kissing threateningly.
Mr.. Mcconnell, with a coolness bred of .
long familiarity with dime museum mira
cles, placidly picked up the snake and tied
it around his neck, not doubling that it
would resume its original shape. He was
a trife puzzled when 1t didn't, and grew
Just little alarmed when he found that the
room was full Of the reptiles. He got q
clothes basket and started to pick them up,
when-presto they turned into rats.
The Transformation was too much for Mr..
Mcconnell. He had never had any expert
ence in charming rats, and he rushed out
into the street. He got big dose of bromide
from druggist in the neighborhood, went
to the museum and put the sure-enough
snake away. He has sworn off on snake

A SOCIAL BRIGADE,
A Number of Young West Enders Enjoyed
Decoration Day in the Rain.


Decoration Day in the Rain.
On Thursday, Decoration Day, number
of young people who called themselves. the
Social Brigade Of West End enjoyed them
selves in a grove several miles beyond
Mansfield.
The brigade was organized under the
management of Messrs. George Phillips and
Stewart Horner, and consisted of 80 persons,
ladies and gentlemen. The brigade was
taken to the grove, at which it arrived
near noon, in two four-horse wagons. Din
ner being sooc prepared and over, the party
INDUCED in numerous games, and pleasure
seemed to be at its height, when all were
forced to seek shelter from the rain which
came down hbundantly. The gentleman
who owned the grove kindly invited the
party into the house, and at his consent
they took fuH possession.
Supper was soon prepared and those who
so desired ate and drank freely, and at T:30
the wagons were reloaded and start was
made for home, where all seemed anxious to
be. The rain fell continuously all the wsv.
but all melancholy feelings were driven
away BY singing, the music of which seemed
to charm and stimulate even the horses. At
$50 the tired party arrived near the place
from whence they had left more than II
hours before.

A WOMAN PHYSICIAN ARRESTED.
Charged with Malpractics and the Killing
of Hospital Patients.

Charged With Malpractics and the Killing
of Hospital Patients.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
Brooklyn, June 1.-The Kings county
grand jury for week or more has been in
vestigating the management of the Women's
Hospital on Greene and Sumner avenues.
1t not only brought in indictments against
Mrs. Dr. Mary Ann Dixon Jones, and her
son, Dt. Charles Dixon Jones, who are in
charge of the hospital, for manslaughter in
the seconddegree, but recommended District
Attorney Ridgway to take immediate steps
to have the charter of the hospital revoked
on the ground that the transactions IN that
institution are disgrace to the city.
The charges against Mrs. Jones and her
son are based on the circumstances attend
ing the deaths of Ida L. Hunt, last Febru-
ary and of Sarah T. Bates in June last, after
they had been under treatment at the hos
pital. In the case of Mrs. Hunt it is averred
that an unnecessary operation was per-
formed and that the woman was hurried out
of the hospital on cold night while almost
in a diving condition. Mrs. Bates died at
the hospital, and it is alleged that the un-
dertaker had been summoned and the death
certificate made out for one hour at least be-
fore breath had left her body. While the
certificate assigned malignant blood poison
ing as reason OF death, the autopsy, it is
said, clearly showed it resulted from NAL
practice.
Mrs. Jones and her son were arrested and
arraigned before Judge Moon in the Court
of Sessions. Through their lawyer, Richard
S. Newcomb, plea of not guilty in each
case was entered and demand made for a
speedy trial. Bail vas'fxed at $500 and
81, 900 respectively, and was furnished after
delay of several hours. Mrs. Jones says
that the charges have been trumped up
against her by some neigbbors who object
to the hospital as detriment to the real
estate in the neighborhood.

R0USTABOUT. BUT HERO.

He Rescued the Woman, But the Effort
Cost Him His Life.
A colored roustabout and poor old woman,
dwelling with her crippled husband in a
shantyboat, were parties to one of the many
minor thrilling tragedies in this great one.
The old shantyboat, which has been moored
near the Baltimore and Ohio depot, was in
danger of being swept away. The woman
tried in vain to reach the shore.
The colored roustabout, Albert Green by
name, boarded the boat, helped her safely
ashore, but with the violent rocking of the
boat in the swift waters lost his balance, fell
overheard and was drowned.

Why Not Draft Ladies' Garments the
Same as Tailor Does GentIemen's,
Using Only a Tailor Square
and Tape Measure2

They are drafted the same, but only few
are aware of the fact. DressmakerS are too
busy to look after their own interests, and
having been fooled, persuaded and deluded
SO many times into buying "pasteboard
charts, +" models, T" "graded scales" and ma
chimes called tailor systems" of cutting of
some kind, that they have lost confidence in
all, good and bad, and only think of it.
Who can blame them? Not I, for to-day
the same story is being told them by parties
in this city who are trying to sell them a
"pasteboard arrangement" and giving them
some English or French name to delude
them.
Dressmakers should remember this and
save their money. The moment you buy
pieces Of pasteboard filed full of holes, that
moment you are buying chart. No mat
ter whatname it is called-Smith's, Browns,
Clark's, English or French tailor systems,
they are all alike. for "chart" is a paste
board arrangement. Now, if you want q
"chart" will furnish you with them at
371l cents each, or 81 80 per dozen, but L
would much rathergive you knowledge of
cutting the same as tailor for $40. Some
thing you cannot lose, will not burn MP or
wear out.

ALEXANDRIA,.
SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER O.

TIE MICRO preachers of this city did a
great deal during the late political cam
paign 10 ALLEVIATE the white people from
themselves and their race. There was
ut stake In that campaign what was more
important than mere politics; so much more
that nearly oil the reputable and self-re-
specting white republicans In the city made
common cause with their democratic neigh
bors against the arch enemy of the State.
Several OF the better class of negroes also
expressed their intention of doing likewise,
and would have done so but for the active
interference of the preachers referred to.
Ia the First Ward, it is understood, two OF
these preachers, Brooks and johnson,
made house to house canvass among
such of their race as were re
ported to be inclined to vote with
the people who give them employment and
who supply the money that supports their
schools, and by persuasions and threats
among the latter being exclusion from both
church and societies, forced them to toe the
color line. White people remember ipJu
ries, and if the negroes of Alexandria suffer
by reason thereof, they must lay the blame
upon their preachers.
