Bears Active and Aggressive.

New YORK, April 1.-THE stock market
to-day was nothing more than the closing up
of an active week and the trading was com
paratively small, while dropping tendency
marked the general list, and the bears were
once more active and aggressive against the
few stocks which they found vulnerable after
the material advances of the week. The
opening was steady and quiet, but the trading
element was disposed to discount an unfavor-
able bank statement, relying on the heavy
exports of gold and the estimated loss by the
interior movement, which should have been in
finally closed quiet and firm at the recovery.
The final changes show losses of fractional
amounts in general, Chicago Gas being the
only exception, with q loss of per cent.

A Snake in Her Slipper.

Mrs. Lucille Morgan, an estimable
lady Of advanced age, of Little ROCK,
Arkansas, recently received shock
which nearly cost her life by finding
snake in one OF pair of carpet slip
pers, into which she had thrust her
foot. Mrs Morgan, rising during the
night to administer to her daughter,
who was ailing, hastily placed her
feet in the slippers which were at her
bedside, only to speedily withdraw
them on feeling a cold, Shiny body
snugly ensconced in one. This was
done so quickly that the snake, also
taken by surprise, had no time to bite
her, but, disturbed in his nap, crawled
out and ran under piece Of furniture
The old lady, seeing the danger she
had escaped, gave a piercing shrek
and became unconscious, remaining
so for several hours, in spite of all eff
forts to revive her. When she was
able to tell her story the house was
searched for the snake, which was
found and killed. 1t was young rat
tlesnake and was probably harmless,
but Mrs. Morgan's nerves had been so
shocked that for several days it was
thought that she would die. Her i'm
agination was much excited, and ii
was with the creates difficulty she
could be convinced that the snake
had not been able to bite her. For
some reason not understood these
venomous reptiles have been unusual
ly numerous this season and aggres-
sive in the extreme, invading the
houses in the suburbs, and have bit
ten several people.
