Mrs. A. Willis, Jr of Washington, Va,
on Wednesday last was bitten on a
finger by a rattlesnake. She insisted
that her husband should at once cut
her finger of, but instead Of follow
ing her suggestion he applied his
mouth TO the wound and sucked out
most OF the poison. Herarm on Thurs
day was badly swollen up TO the shout
der. since which time il has gradual
" reduced. Owing 10 the fact that
the snake was small one and TO the
prompt and dangerous action OF her
husband she probably owes her life;
as il is very seldom that persons re-
cover from the bite OF rattlesnake.
Had any Of the poison gotten into a
decayed tooth ii would more than
likely have proved fatal TO Mr.. Willis.
as il would have been the same thing
as being bitten by the snake.

0oIy One Way to Account for II.

II may only be a coincidence, but it is fact
that since the heavy blasting at the stone
crusher In Shepherdstown has been discon-
tinued scarcely any rain has fallen In this To-
cality. All the summer, when the heavy de-
donations were heard morning, noon and
night, rain fell three times q week, and there
was an unusual amount OF wet weather. IL
looks as though there is something in the
theory that rain is caused by the explosion
Of powder or neutrality-suspicious. Reg
lister.
Yes but at the same time you had
rain we had rain, though we did not
have any blasting. How do you &C
count for that Page Courier.
Why, friend Courier, don't you know
that when the rain falls on the just it
falls on the unjust too?

1t is now more than thirty-one Years
since trotting horse made record of

ba World-Hcrald. The distinguished
animal which performed the feat was
the mare Flora Temple, and she trottcd
her mile October Is, 1859. That event
made Flora Temple the talk of the
country, and most persons predicted
that her record would never be beaten.
Yet since then three hundred and seven
tY-five other trotters have beat the 2:20
record, and each year the number
greatly. increases. In 1890 it was in
creased over IS per cent, the number
for the year being ninety-one. This
wonderful increase in. speed of our rae

mnrvelous perfection of modern meth

of the turf even for single year with
out being struck by the great advance,
here as elsewhere. What seemed an
lapossibility thirty years ago was ac-

horses last year. In view Of this great
increase in average speed of our racers,
Who shall say that the record of a mile

He has Refused No Orders when .
Proper Case was Before Him.
Prosecuting Attorney Mcknight says
that the statement made in the evening
papers, to the effect that ne has re-
fused in all cases of rioting to issue
warrants for the offenders, is untrue.
He said: "Five cases have been re-
ported to me with applications for war
rants. In the case of the man who
stole the handle of the car brake, an
order for warrant was issued, and In
one other case. In the three other
cases that were refused the charge was
trivial. Two of the complaints were
for yelling scab, and the other was for
an unknown man who yelled scab and
added two eggs by way of punctuation.
If the individual who was guilty of the
otfeuse had been known, there might
have been cause for the issue of a war
rant. In these cases of disorderly con-
duct, where the complaint is for hOot-
ting or yelling "scab. the person should
be prosecuted under the city ordinance
and the application for 3 warrant
should be made to the city attorney; not
to the prosecuting attorney. Yes; l
understand that the city Is bound to
protect its citizens and the corporations
doing business within its limits. 1 be-
lieve it has been decided in several cases
that the city is liable for damages that
may occur through its lack of protec-
ton. 1t seems to me that the chief of
police or the board of commissioners
should have notified the council of the
state of affairs and the inability of the
police department to preserve order
with the force at command. Ii the
council had been petitioned to authorize
the employment of large force of
spec ial police during the continuance
of the strike, much trouble and loss of
property would have been avoided. If
the strike continues such u move will
become necessary"

A Narrowing Tate of Rustic Courtship
In all It's Grandeur.


In all It's Grandeur
MAsoorrAH. H., May 20.-The town
of Saint Libory, south of here. comes
10 the front with little sensation. A
year or so ago Christ Bergmier wooed
and won Miss Annie Csnier, the charm
ing daughter of a wealthy and infiuen-
tlal farmer. The young lady besides
being pretty was possess0r OF consider
able property IN her own right, and she
was considered quite catch" by the
worldly people OF the conimu-
nifty. Everything went lovely with the
young couple for several weeks when a
cloud in the shape of a pretty and
petite young lady. fresh from college,
appeared upon the scene. The tickle
young man promptly fell IN love with
the colege-bred miss and asked
her TO become his wife. She ac-
cepted the offer. which awoke the
young man TO the embarrassing posi-
ton he had placed himself IN, by
getting engaged To two different young
ladies at once. Summoning up all the
courage he possessed, Christ went 10
his first love aud told her all. She
cried, and then released him from hrs
engagement with her. The thought of
giving up the old love for the new was
not pleasant 10 Christ and he begged
Annie 10 remain true 10 him and he
would marry her, let come what would.
He next went TO the college-bred girl
and asked her To release HIM from his
engagement. She was sensible and
business-llke. She told the embar-
rassed young man that she considered
500 a very modest price for her release.
After considerable wrxngling the
money was paid, and Christ Bergmier
and ANNE Gamer were made one by
the village preacher. The strsngest
part of the whole transaction WAS the
fact that the bride paid TIE money TO
her rival for the release of the young
man, whom she afterwards married.
