BATTLE WITH A SNAKE,
Fourteen-Foot Boa CONSTRUCTOR Escapes In

Fourteen-Foot Boa Constructor Escapes In
aDealer's Store.
Herman Halle, dealer in animals in
New York, had a lively experience
with boa constructor on Saturday. A
few days ago he received an order
from circus for one of the largest of
his stock. Mr.. Halle had one measur-
ing fourteen feet in length. He
removed 1t from its box and placed
it in bag. Mr.. Haile's thirteen
year-old daughter and two friends were
also present There was hole in
the bottom of the bag which Mr.. Halle
had not noticed. After placing the boa
in the bag, Mr.. Halle placed his right
foot on the neck of the bag to prevent
the reptile from escaping. While he
was thus engaged his daughter Julia's
voice rang out with alarm. The reptile
had made its escape from the hole
in the bag. Haile's friends ran from the
store, leaving him, with his child to bat
tie with the reptile. The father jumped
with both feet upon the boa, and seized
it by the head. It was then the strug-
gle began. The snake succeeded in
coiling its body around Mr.. Haile's arm,
and it was not until after long strug-
gle that he succeeded in placing it safe
ly into the box. It is with difficulty
that Mr.. Halle can use his arm, which
was badly bruised. The snake was
shipped later in the day to its destina.

The merits of the medicine have re-

until now there is demand for it wher-

CAT AND RAT.
A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares for4
Homeless Rodent.

A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares for&
Homeless Rodent.
A laborer employedin one of the mills
at Sutter Creek has in his house one OF
the strangest families of animals in ex-
istence. The head of the family, saya.
the San Francisco Call, is an old cat.
which is mother Of a thrifty family Oh
five kittens; but, In spite of the cares OF
motherhood, she has taken it upon her
self to provide for rat that she has
taken under her protection.
During a storm about two months ago.
a half-grown rat, lame and nearly
drowned, crawled into the house, cvi-,
dently in search of food and SHELTER
and by some chance made its way tof
the place where the old cat lay snuglY,
on the heap of sacks with her family.
Strangely, the mother seemed touchedE
with pity over the condition Of the wan-,,
derer, and, instead of attacking him.,
everything to relieve his sufferings. Tho
rat displayed every sign Of gratitude.r
and the miners family, when they dis-t
covered the intruder, were so struck,
with surprise that they forbade anyone,
to disturb them. !
The result was that the rat chose to-
remain with his new-found friends, and,
has now become as docile as his fostert
mother. A warm attachment seems 10,
have sprung up between the two, and
the rat has grown fat and lazy, wan
dering about as 1t suits its fancy, and
evidently pleased with it's new surround,

The penny prcvident fund.- orgsnizc1f,
by the charity, organization about twot
years ago, is proving great success,
says the New York Sun. II was thet
design Of the organization 10 encomagel
the saving Of small sums among it's prof.
teges by providing a place Of deposits
for even SO small an amount as 1, s an6t
8 cents, and stations were established
at the ten, different branch offices OF
the society for carrying out the plan
So popular did the work become thats
outside organizations were allowed tosF
come in from the churches, the missions, =,
the industrial schools, and the working~t
girls clubs, until there are now 1913 sta-f
tions Of deposit, 10000 depositors, ands
$40, ,4sA65 on deposit in the differenti
stations. There are no hired clerks fnl
these stations, the work all being done
by voluntary charity. The depositorss
are quite fairly divided between chill
dren and grown people, and, though itt
is the desire Of the society that all ac-s
counts Of IS shall be transferred to thet
savings banks, many poor people refuset
to take out their money.
The plan Of the work resembles thatt
30 long prscticed In England; l, 8, 8, 1o.I
rs, and 80 cent and 81 stamps are sold
to the depositors, pasted in the little
book given to each person, and remainl
the guarantee Of the amount due untiE,
1t Is needed and drawn out again. When.
SIS or $40 az cumulates the depositors arc
helped to open IN account in a savings
bank, and the United States and West
side savin,s banks have placed tho
stamps on sasa ut one of their windows,
where sums off, cent up will be received. !.
and as soon as 81 Is accumulated the de-
positor will receive regular passbook. ]
This work necessitates the addition Of
only one clerk, and 1t Is hoped that 9TH
| er banks will take it up. E
| One poor woman succeeded in saving
about $50 in this way, and when her
husband deserted her short time ago,
she was able to start lodgings with theS
| fund.
A little girl whose father is very in
temperate meets him every payday be-
fore he reaches saloon, and coaXes a1ls
the money she can from him. This She
divides among her little brothers and
sisters, and all is placed. on deposit. Not,
long ago the father, through intemper-
ance, was discharged from his work.
and the money thus accumulated by thes
children paid the rent until new sit-t
uaticS could be found.
Another little girl has managed to,
save enough in pennies and nickels tot
pay for having her fathers grave put in,
order.
| The working girls clubs are some Oft
the largest contributors one club alOY,ea
having raised $500 in the last year.
Much of the money is drawn out at
Christmas and during the summer vaca-.
tions, but the purpose Of the society isl
only to save for some such need and not,
simply to hoard up money in a miserlyt
| manner.

SLAUGHTERED.
Mercilessly Executed By Hippo
lyte's Soldiers
Because They Protested Against His 1fur'
derous Reign.

The Atlas line passenger steamer
Alvo, which arrived at New York from
Haytian ports Wednesday morning,
brought news Of continued outbreaks
Of somewhat milder character at the
Haytian capital and of the Wholesale
slaughter Of political prisoners in all
parts Of the Island The Alvo also
brought news Of the rumored shooting
Of President Hippolyte. Among the
ports at which the Alvo touched
was Jacmel, where the populace
was in high fever Of excitement
over what they termed an out.
rageous murder, which occurred In that
city the day before at Hippolyte's order.
The news of the troubles at Port.au.
Prince travels somewhat slowly into
interior towns in Hayti and frequently
is unknown in inland cities for weeks
after its occurrence. Consequently the
slaughter of 100 citizens Of Port-au-
Prince was not known of at Jacmel un-
til several days later, though Jacmel and
Port-au- Prince are only about fifty miles
apart When the news did finally come,
though, the people of Jacmel became
frantic with excitement, and loudly and
publicly denounced Hippolyte and his
government. There is small garrison
at Jacmel, and six of the leaders of the
crowd, who were the loudest and Bit
terest in their denunciations Of their
rule, were arrested and thrown
into prison. News of She arrest
was Immediately carried to Hippo
lyte, and as the sun was rising on the
morning of June half dozen SOL
diers rode over the hills about the city
and came into town on horseback, re-
porting at the garrison. Many of the
people of the city were about early,
and, seeing the approach of the visit
ors, circulated the news that the
prisoners at the garrison were
about to be put to death. Within an
hour every man and woman in
the city was on the streets and
hundreds surrounded the jail The
six prisoners, handcuffed together,
were then led out of the prison and
marched to the open square in the GEN.
ter Of the city, and in the presence of
their friends and relatives were merci-
lessly executed, each soldier firing at
one man. AS soon as it was decided
that the soldiers had done their duty
according to orders they mounted their
horses and returned to Port-au-Prince
to report the success of their mission.
