of the monster oaks in the northern
part of the great ''Dlacl1 forest" Ger
many, and who had built fire against
a large dead log preparatory to partak-
ing of his midday meal, was surprised
to see serpent of gigantic proportions
crawl from the log as soon as the rotten
wood had got well warmed through.
The day was bitter cold and the snake
only made few yards over the frozen
ground until his convolutions became
smaller and smaller, until he finally
ceased to wiggle and quietly coiled up
near large pile of brush.
The sturdy German chopper, who had
been moro surprised than scared, waited
until the creature had become thorough
~ bcnumbed with the cold and then APP
preached and dispatched him with his
AK. Measurements showed the Shiny
creature to be twenty-scvcn feet six
inches in length and nearly fifteen inches

which is eleven inches in length and al

figure 8. Ono part of the ring was
through the skin, while the other was
through hole in small copper coin
bearing date of 17l2. One side of the
coin was perfectly smooth, with
the exception of these letters and
figures, which had evidently been cut
on it with q pocketknife, the workman

parents tell of "Krutzcr, the serpent

merly the property Of the old "charmer."
and that it was at least one hundred
and fifteen years old when killed on
that cold January day of 1891.

Republican institutions are peculiarly
fitted for the temperate zone. Repub-
Sizes must have cool heads to be success
ful. Freedom in the tropics dcgcnc-
rates into license and anarchy.
Hayti is an example. This unhappy
country is made to witness scenes of
massacre and rapine which are worthy
of Rome in the days of Caligula, or the
Sepoy rebellion in India. There is but
little hope that she will ever be other
wise. superstitious voudou worship

TRENTON. January q. ls91.-Both
houses Of the Legislature adjourned be-
fore nine o'clock last evening without
accomplishing much Of Importance Mr..
Mullone raised faint breeze which bids
fair to become cyclone this morning.
He introduced a concurrent resolution
denouncing the Force bill in unmeasured
terms as follows:-
Whereas, the people are to be robbed every
two years of from S5 000 900 to $50 000 900 osfen-

Mr.. Mullone moved that the resolution
be made special order for this morning.
Mr.. Potts moved that it be laid upon the
table. He asked whether the House was
here for the purpose of passing laws or
partisan resolutions of that nature. His
protest was of no avail and the resolu-
ton was promptly made q special order
for this morning at II o'clock.
It will no doubt consume the entire

The Kensington Athletic Club is Far
From the Verge of Collapse.
The Jersey City A. c. has opened its
doors to junior athletes and attracted
some of the members of the Kensington
A. C. A reporter with fertile imagina-
tion Immediately concluded that the
younger club must have collapsed. and he
prepared an obituary. The Kensington
Club is far from surrendering the
ghost. Its treasury is not as repre-
sented, empty, and has never
been as heavy as at present. The club
had sixty members and very small min
ority deserted them to unite with the
older organization. They constituted the
element dissatisfied with the manage
ment and gladly accepted the first oppor-
tunity to retire. The enthusiasm
of the members has not
been destroyed by the designations
and they are hustling to get in new ma
tefial, and boast that the coming season
will be the most successful in the history
of the club. Preparations have been
made to make the season a lively one.
and the club will be heard from in every
branch of athletics, is the prediction of
President William Miller, of the Board Of
Directors.

Senator Mcdonald Makes a Vain Fight
Against Reckless Extravaganza.

Special to the Jerssv CitB Netcs.
TRENTON. Jan. 81. 1s9l-Mr. Mcdonald
took decided stand last evening against
the hungry horde of office seekers from
Essex county.
Senator Barrett presented resolution
authorizing the SergeaDt-at-Arms to up
point a person to look after the cloak
rooms and the members desks at the
same salary paid the Assistant Sergeants-
alarms This resolution was to make a
place for Colonel Bob Haggerty, of
Newark. State detective. and at one
time Sergeant-at-Arms of the Court of
Chaneery. The resolution was adopted.
but upon the reassembling of the Senate,
Mr.. Mcdonald procured a consideration.
He then sailed into the resolution in his
characteristic way.
II think it wrong TO increase the num-
ber of officers in the Senate" he said.
''The gentleman VINO introduced this
resolution knew / was opposed to 1t, and
he should not have introduced it when
was out of my seat. see no reason why
this thing should be done. There are
enough officers in the Senate to look after
the coat room and the desks, if they do
their duty"
Mr.. Barrett moved to lay the motion TO
reconsider on the table, and it was car
ried by strict party vote. Mr.. Mcdonald
not voting. 1t is said that this is but the
beginning of the raid Essex proposes TO
make upon the State treasury.
