His Word Was Good.

Reuben Lloyd tells the following
story, as printed in the San Francisco
Examiner:
During the lifetime of William C.
Ralston it was the habit of that genius
for speculation to buy and sell property
in the names of his friends with no
record or writing to show his connec-
ton with the transaction After his
death | happened to be one of the COM
mittee appointed to try to find out
what had become of about $11, O00, 600
worth of property that was supposed
to be thus distributed and concealed
under the names of his friends and
associates.
'sOf all the men in San Francisco
who thus held his property the only
ne who came forward and delivered it
was Maurice Dore. He said: This
9t mine. 1t belongs to the Bank of
ornia.'
here was not scratch of a pen.
"a line or word anywhere in the
tyate accounts of Ralston or of the
ak to show that Maurice Dore was
the owner, and he might have kept
property for his own without being
STONED or even suspected By any
an earth. Yet, unsolicited and
hesitation, he stepped forward
erred into the haJeds of that
property that brought to the
$500. 900 in 9osse .

A womnn's Revenge.

For some time past girls employ ed
In None of the departments of the
Bridgeport Corset Company's shop
have been greatly annoyed and DELAYED
in their work by the machines con-
stantly being found out of repair when
started in the morniu.s, S,lys the Kart
ford Times. AT times three or four
hours would be required TO put them
in shape for the work
This state of affairs continued so
long that many of the old hands left
and new girls were taken on. On this
particular work there is only so much
to be done every day, and as it is all
piecework the breaking of machine
causes loss to the one operating il,
and at the same time give those fortu-
nate enough to have perfect machines
chance to make extra pay.
There was one woman working in
this department who kept constantly
busy, her machine never appearing to
get out of order, thus giving her a
larger share of the work. Finally the
machinist of the shop became sus-
picious that some one was tampering
with the machines and set n watch.
Early one morning of last week he got
TO the factory about o'clock, aud.
hiding himself, waited for develop
ments. He had not long to wait, for
the woman in question arrived. as she
was always the first 10 appear every
morning. After looking around and
seeing no one in view she took a screw
driver, and, going to one OF the girls
machines, began to disarrange its gear
ing. The machinist stopped her and
reported her at the office. She was
immediately discharged.

Death or a Famous nat,lesnake.

The largest rattlesnake ever seen IN
Georgia was killed Saturday i'm Lee
county upon the plantation OF Secre-
tary of State Gen. Phil Cook. The
snake has terrorized the neighborhood
for years. aud its death Saturday was
the occasion of jubilee celebration
among the darkies in that vicinity.
Even the white people Joined Ia the
general feeling OF relief that so danger
Gus aud dreaded neighbor was rid of
at last. The snake. bv actual meas
urenent. was little over eleven feet
long. 1t had nineteen rattles and n
button.
he snake has been hunted for years,
aud traps innumerable have been de-
yised for its capture. Its den is an
lmpenetrable section of tile Kincha-
foonee swamp. Near this Is n cypress
pond. aud between the swamp aud the
pond is the road. Hundreds of times
its track has been seen across this
road. People who had not seen il
were loath 10 believe the stories told
about il. but the truth finally became
established, and the Lee county rattle
snake became famous from the Attain

Last Saturday the snake was found
across the path near the pond by Mr..
Phil Cook. Without disturbing It Mr..
Cook went off for help. returning with
three or four negroes armed with hoes
and clubs Stealing up near the snake
the negroes fell upon it. and with the
hoes and clubs finally killed it. 1t

found full-grown buck rabbit. This
probably accounts for the dormant
and comparatively helpless condition
of the snake and the ease with which

In Great Good Luck.

A Detroiter who was looking fol

train at little town at midnight SAYS
the Free Press, aud in trying 70 find his
way to a hotel he went astray and
brought up against man who held the
muzzle OF shotgun against his breast
and said:
Now. then, if you move a foot YOU

He moved his tongue instead and
asked what was wanted Two more
citizens joined him. aud he was then
marched to the lookup and told that
he was a prisoner charged with at
tempted burglary the night before.
Two of the men positively identified
him as the man they had seen running
away from jewelry store. Seeing il
was no use TO talk he kept still, and
they went through him. They found
nothing suspicious. but held to their
case, and he was locked up and left
alone. Early next morning a fat little

The Young Italian woman.

In the middle classes fine dressing

Fond mammas regale young men with
stories of their daughters prowess in
a manner worthy of Goldsmith's Mrs.
Primrose, and have even been known
to set the hopeful young women to
sweeping and cleaning as soon as the
expected ring was heard Mt the door,
in order that the hesitating aspirant
might be brought to n declaration by
the sight of the girls capacity as a
menial servant. Under these circum-
stances marriage becomes simply an
escape from intolerable dreariness.
The idea of choosing husband to
whom she can prove faithful wife
rarely enters the girls head. She must
be married that she may be free. Some
man of her acquaintance thinks she
makes a good figure in the society he
frequents. finds that her dowry is
sufficiently large, and tired of '.living''
or desirous of settling down proposes
for her hand. The young wife, if she
belongs to the upper classes, finds her.

kissing as Medicine.

Republican. when two ladies entered,
evidently mother and daughter, the
younger carrying babe, and both
strangers TO the proprietor. Mr..
Brooks, with that Chesterfieldian bear
ing for which he is noted, arose and
gave them a cordial greeting. The
mother of the babe, after replying to
the salutation. said to Mr. Brooks: '.I
have favor to ask of you. and, al
though it may seem n queer one. and
YOU stranger. l hope YOU will grant
it. I'm sure if you do it will be of
great benefit TO my child"

from its mothers arms and gave it
two as sweet and resounding kisses as
he was capable of bestowing-and Joe
is an expert in that direction. He
has the mouth.
When this was done the mother took
the child. and both ladies left the shop,
apparently perfectly satisfied the opera
ton would give the infant relief from
that pain incidental to teething. They
seemed to be ladies of refinement. and
from their actions firmly believed that
caresses from colored person would
have the effect desired.
Mr.. Brooks says he has heard it is
good for neuralgia on older girls, say
sixteen to twenty years of age.

CircumstantiaI Evidence.

Daniel O'Connell was at one time de-

Clonnel. The circumstantial evidence
was so strong against the prisoner that
the jury had already determined upon
their verdict of guilty when the man

into court alive and unhurt. The jury
was desired to return their verdict at
once. and they did so, but it was one
