A UNIQUE Invit alton.

One of the most unique invitation
tickets we have seen has just been re-
ceived from the Durham Common
wealth Club, of which Mr.. J. S. Carr
is president, inviting us to be their
guest during the session of the State
Press Association, July 23rd, oath and
25th. The card is enclosed in a wrap
per or envelope of rough tan colored
paper resembling leather. This is fas-
tened by band of the same material =,
the ends of which are held by min
iature nickle paddock. There is no
key but we were not long in discover
ing how to get into it, and found the
contents as elegant in design and novel
in effect as the outside part. On the
front page, at the top, is bronzed
picture of a sword and pen, around
which is a streamer that bears the le-
gend 1.-THE Pen is Mightier than the
Sword Then in beautifully engraved
letters, printed in blue, we read with
the compliments Of the Commonwealth
Club In the lower left hand corner
is a monogram Of the Club printed in
red, and in the opposite corner lith-
ograph scrap Of paper. The inside, third
page, bears the invitation of the Club.
The whole thing is new and novel and
in keeping with the way Durham gets
up such things. We expect to be there

Metal Railway Ties.

There has been recently lamentable
epidemic, so to speak, of railroad acci-
dents owing to spreading of rails, result
ing in great loss of life and damage to
rolling stock. This series of disasters
commenced on Dec. 2S, 1889, with the
derailment of fast train on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, by which ten persons
lost their lives and great portion of the
train was destroyed. Since that date
there have been several wrecks of the
same nature, involving more fatalities
and much injury to person and property.
Without rejecting very closely on the
matter, the majority of the happy-go.
lucky travelling public takes for granted
that these spreading rail accidents can
not be avoided, whereas, in reality, they
belong to the category which may fairly
be termed "preventable accident" This
will be a new light to many, but there
is no doubt that by the employment of a
properly constructed metal tie of steel or
iron, and with proper fastenings, spread
ing of rails is impossible. Engineering

A RATHER AROUND HIS LEG.
Awful Experience ofa Pair OF Hunters
Who Camped Out Over Night.

AWFUL experience Oh L atr OF hunCcrB
Who Camped Out Over Night.
DIR. Sampsell and J. X. Snyder, both
of Centerville, had an experience at
Swift Run on Friday night of last week
that they will never forget. They
scraped a lot of leaves together for a
bed, provided pile of wood to keep
up fire during the night and lay down
to pleasant dreams. Along toward l
o'clock Mr.. Snyder was awakened by
cold object which seemed TO be resting
on his leg. Without moving he lay
awake, waiting for developments. The
next moment he felt an indescribable
sensation come over him which SEEM
ed to paralyze every nerve in his body.
Realizing that there was something ex-
traoriinary the matter, he called to the
doctor to hurry and get up, as some
thing was crawling up the right leg Of
his pantaloons, and he believed 1t was a
snake.
The. words went through the
doctor like an electric shock,
and, raking brand out of the fire, he
Papprpaehed Mr.. Snyder who was lying
as If paralyzed, with the cold sweat
standing in big beads ON his forehead.
Half blinded by the Pickering fame of
the brand, he noticed what at first look
ed like q broad black strap hanging
out of Mr.. Snyder's trouser leg, but the
next moment exclaimed: "My God,
Muckel, lie still; it's a rattlesnake."
The reptile had been attracted to the
fire and sought warmth on the person
of Mr.. Snyder. Every moment she
disappeared further up the leg. Grasp
ing the snake by the tail, the doctor
pulled with all his might. His hold
slipped, and the rattlers, fourteen In
number, came off and remained in his
hand. The reptile had wrapped itself
around the bare skin on the mans leg,
and violently shook his derattled tail,
indicating his anger at such harsh
treatment. This performance almost
threw Mr.. Snyder into convulsions.
Recovering himself the doctor be-
thought himself of his knife. and quick
| ly opening q blade, keen as q razor, he
cut the pantaloons up the body. This
released the snake, and she quickly un'
wound and threw herself into coil,
ready for effective work, but, before
she could strike, the doctor struck hel
blow with club that cut her In two

In 1t q Crime or Not?

The, Question whether the sale of
LIQUOR on Sunday constitutes crime
or simply q misdemeanor came up for
q sttlement in the Circuit Court for
baltimore county, Md, this week. Un-
der the license law passed by the last
Legislature, no person Is to receive q
license who has been convicted of q
crime. Clerk of the County Court John
w. Shanklin, construed the sale of
liquor on Sunday as crime, and when
Henry Hess made application for IL
cense refused his request on that
ground. Hess then sued out . writ Of

to issue the license, On the ground that
his offense was. only misdemeanor,
and the question, was argued before
Judge Burke, who has, given his deci.
sion against Hess; thus holding that
