The arm alleges that the goods in question

tends that the act Of May, 1890, providing
for the classification of worsted cloths az
woolens, does not apply, because the act was
not passed according to law, They assert
that there was no quorum In the house

Eagle. a. snake-Kiilers.

Other animalsare natural enemies
OF the reptile tribe, but the American
Eagle Is known To be the most savage
and fearless foe OF the deadly rattle
snake. Besides preying upon birds
and small animals. the eagle has
relish for serpents, and also gathers
them in as food for its young. On one
occasion. while "A party OF gunners
were out on the mountains OF Pennsyl-
vania. they espied an eagle several
hundred feet in the air slowly winging
its way toward distant pine forest.
When directly over them the men
fired several shots at the bird. and
were greatly surprised TO see 1t drop
what they supposed 10 be a large eel.
Going 10 the spot where IL fell. the
men were startled at the sight OF q
full-grown rattlesnake, almost lifeless,
but squirming In the fern shrubs. The
snake was badly torn by the eagles
talons, and. having been severely
shaken up by the fall. was easily dis
patched with club.
At another time an eagle was seen
To rise from the summit Of "A high rock.
Suddenly the bird began To flutter one
OF its wings and fell TO the ground be-
low the rocks, making rapid descent
OF about one hundred feet. Three or
four coal prospectors who had wit
messed the singular affair ran to the
scene and found the eagle and rattle
snake locked in deadly embrace. The
RATHER had thrown vigorous coll
around one OF the birds wings, and
down the contestants came together,
more dead than alive.
One day near the middle OF last
August log-cutter living near Houtz-
dale. Pa, heard a terrible racket
among his chickens while In camp en-
joying his noon repast. Getting up
hurriedly from his rough board table,
he went out TO an old log stable from
whence the noise proceeded and was
astonished TO find that an old hen. In
defending her little chicks, had picked
out the eyes OF four-f6ot rattlesnake.
/ The other chickens took no part In the
! fight except an old rooster that had
cautiously enough tackled baby
rattlesnake, and holding 1t up in his
beak, was making big display before
his admiring lady friends.

Last season. says correspondent,

the Pacific coast enjoying n vacation.
One day we found ourselves In the lit
tie town OF San Raphael. in Lower Cal
ifornia. AT the hotel where we stopped
we found that the villagers had been
suffering n great deal by the depreda-
tions OF the panthers. Game, such as
deer and smaller animals. their usual
prey, had been very scarce, and TO
make up for IL the pigs and cows OF
the residents had TO suffer
This was just what we were looking

tors. During the day | got separated

suggested all along the route as you
notice the conical shells planted along
the driveway and round shell sur

are often inverted cannon which have

The entrance TO Arlington Is not

chief signal officer. who died few
years ago. His widow lives in Wash

Is that OF General Sheridan. Ii stands

An eye witness relates: II will
never forget that memorable day
There had been so many rumors afioat
about surrendering that the men did
not believe there was any truth in the
rumor on the day the surrender was
made until the yell went up A
remarkable thing about the yell was
the fact that most OF the Southern
soldiers joined In. just after IL was
definitely settled that the surrender
hnd been made the Southern soldiers
began 10 break up their arms and
throw them down. as though they
were glad that the long siege was at
an end. They had seen many hard
ships and their clothes could not stand
much more wear. After the surrend-
or the soldiers went in the house where
the articles were drawn up and carried
of portion OF the house as memen-
toes. Our troops divided rations with
the Southern army. and went into
camp not far from Burke's station.
The news of the shooting OF Lincoln
did not reach the camp for about three
DAYS after the assassination occurred.
The soldiers were awakened about 2
o'clock In the morning and told the
news. They naturally supposed that
they would have 10 avenge Lincoln 5
death. but instead OF that there was n
wagon train In sight on its way TO
gather up the broken arms. The
men had 10 leave camp and go with
the train, and they nearly starved be-
fore they returned TO camp.
"I'll never forget the pile OF ar ms
that was stacked AS high as a house AT
Burke's station. After they were all
piled up some one fired them, and
bullets were sent In all directions.
There was large house on n hill
near the station that was used as a
hospital, and the soldiers. with some
trouble. succeeded In removing the
patients before the house was fairly
riddled with bullets from the burning
pile OF arms"
