stopped here On his way from San Francisco
to New Y ork. He registered q. the Grand
Palace hotel. and hao sen; to his room Q

ing number Of writhipg reptiles. During
the evening" party Of friends visited the
professor in his room, and the snakes we're
taken ou. of the box ard fondled by their
owner for the edifcation Of his guests.
The party then went to the bar room and
had several drinks, which caused the PRO.
fessor to forget that he had left the lid Of
the box open. Then he went to bed.
Fred Newberry, who occupies the next
room, WAS awakened about an hour after
ward by . scpfiiing noise, quickly followed
by cries ard shouts for help. He ran into
room from where the sounds came.
Hurry! He choke me !" gasped voice,
and Newberry threw his weight against the
door, bursting it open. The room vas
dark, but he could hear gasps and mosns
Of pain. He stepped toward the bed, but
with yell Of horror jumped back again,
for his bare foot had come in contact with
wriggling, slimy snake. By this time the
alarmed guests were pouring into the
hall. The night clerk, Wilism Payne,
entered the room and lighted The gas. A
horrible sight WAS presented and one of the
women in the crowd tainted. Lying on the
bsd. his face. black from suffoostion and
his eyes bnlzing from his head, wss the
snake cnsrmer. Around his limbs and body
was tightly coiled the King Of Snakes" q
great python. The diamond shaped head
was waving to and fro, a. d from the mouth
shot The long, black, forked tongue. Some
Some cried ''Shoot him." Kill him." and
one man ran into the hall aud seized the
fire axe. "Untwist his TAIL" family whis-
pered the half-choked professor.
Ii seemed case Of life or death for
some one. "rl grab his head while you
untwist his tsii,' shouted Newberry, and
with spring he caught The serpent by the
neck close to the head. 1t Ok all tie
night clerks strength to untwist the steel
like coils of the angry reptile, Finally the
arms Of the professor were freed and he
grabbed the neck of the serpent, making at
the same time q kissing noise with his lips.
With one hand he s.foked the reptile until
he caught it firmly around the centre Of
the body and with deft flung threw it into
The box and quickly shut the lid. The work
of capturing the smaller snakes was easily
accomplished. The python is about seven
feet logg. 1t could easily have straDgled

serted in order to marry . third. He thus

tim for IL years.

told her previous to their marriage that his
nrss wife hal been divorced from him,
upon which statement she consented 10
mary him and lived with him In Brooklyn,
New Brunswick and other places. She
then accompanied him to Europe, only b
te deserted in her turn for younger and
faifef bride. Mr.. Crimson was committed
