there WAS not enough. In the after

reaped IL harvest and sold the paste

done purposely, but it must be con

Minister Peterson moved to am
end by adding the sentence submit
ted by committee in printing, as fol-
lows: 1.-TWO Inspectors over and |
above those provided for above shall
in the same manner be appointed for
each polling place or precinct to
serve ON the election day only, (Tms
is required on account of the pro-
visions for secret voting elsewhere
in the bill.)
Rep. Brown believed in the theory
of secret voting, but doubted its
practicability in this country. lie
opposed the amendment on this
ground.
Noble Muller spoke in favor of
the provisions of the bill IN this re-
gard.
Rer,. White favored secret voting
and suggested having pictures of
the candidates posted up with their
namesJ in the polling places for the
benefit of those who could not read.
Rep. Paehaole opposed adding to
the number of three Inspectors at
each voting place.
Noble Widemann said he would
be sorry if the bill slipped up on
side issue. Perhaps the number of
Inspectors in the original bill would
be sufficient. Referring TO remark
of the previous speaker, he said he
thought that at least nine-tenths of
the Hawaiian voters could read and
write.
| Noble Macfarlane was sorry that
the Hawaiian members were inclined
to oppose this measure which design
ed to give us fair elections.
This bill provided for absolute
secrecy of voting, and, in hun
dreds of places where the system
had been tested in America, the
result was purity of elections. In
every city where "Boss Rule" held
sway the secret ballot was bitterly
opposed. Without the secret ballot
amendments the Election law would
be failure and he urged that any
and all arguments that would be
brought up against it was throwing
dust in the eyes of those who should
be fully alive to the Importance of
this question.
Rep. Kanealii believed that the
Inspectors being appointed by the
, Minister of the Interior would be
! partisan.
y Rep. Nawahi objected to piling up
officials. If the franchise was made
an educational one, all this trouble
would be avoided.

o behalf of fair treatment of the bill

AN INTERESTING ROCK.

Turning Out Hundreds of Snakes Annual
ly to BE Promptly Killed.
There is n rock in lot near William
Van Fleets farmhouse at Mays Clear
ing which, according to tho New York
Suns Forkston correspondent, becomes
an object of general interest as spring
approaches. 1t Is hssured rock about
twelve feet long and rising three feet
above tho surface. The flssures are
perpendicular, and evidently lead down
the rock as far as it goes beneath the
ground. Tho rock is not more than ten
rods from Van Fleets house, and tho
same distance from tho public road.
For twenty years or more it has been
known as the snake rock. In April,
1870, man who worked for Van Fleet
was passing close to the big stonc when
he saw snake coming slowly out Of one
OF the crevices. 1t was what is known as
milk snake. While the man was watch
ing the snake other snakes began to ap-
pear at different crevices until no
counted forty. There were black
snakes, blowing adders and common
striped snakes. The hired man went
back to the house and got Van Fleet,
and the two remained by the rock until
they had killed 200 snakes. All through
that month snakes kept coming out Of
tho rock, and over 500 we're killed. How
many got away was not known, but
there must have been quito number,
for tho next spring the rock yielded just
rs many more that had gone there to
hibernate and winter over. Tho snake
bearing rock became locally famous in
time, and for years as soon as tho
weather begins to get warm in the
spring farmers and others como to Van
Fleets lot from miles around to see the
snakes come out, and to have hand in
killing them. The rock has never failed
to give up hundreds Of snakes every
spring, and the curious part Of it is no
one has ever yet been able to discover
any going into the rock in tho fall, al
though it has been closely watched.
When and how the great collection OF
snakes gets into the winter quarters In
Van Fleets rock is a mystery yet to be
solved. 1t is supposed the serpents slip
in at night when no one is watching.

by Mr.. William Croinley, keeper Of the
Duboy light. Quite q company, ladies

from the sounds below, that the rattle

being ready, tho sticks inclosing the
hole were removed, and digging COM

discovered moving about, and presently
the ominous rattle was heard from be-
low. It was short work to bring the
reptile-a full-grown rattler, nearly six
feet long--to the surface. With reared
crest, glittering eye, quivering forked
tongue and continuous rattle, he
warned the hunters that he was ready
to put in his deadly work.
Mr.. Cromley, who is skilled taxider-
mist, came forward, armed only with .
looped twine string supported upon Q
stick about tho size and length Of .

him swinging and writhing in the air.
