HE is DYING OF A CAT BITE.
The Poison Turks in His System
Eight Months.

From the Neto York Sun.
AsBURY PARK, June 3.-Ricnard 8. Bar
tine. one of the leading lawyers of Mon
mouth county, is dying at his home in Loeb
Arbour, new resort on the north side of
Deal Lake, of the effects of the bite of a
cat. He displays all the symptoms of n.y.
drophobia and will probably die within
twenty-four hours. He is the eldest
son of the late Rev. DIR. David
W. Bartine, for many years one
of the leading ministers of the Methodist
Church. His law office is in Asbury Park.
On his way home in the afternoon Lawyer
Bartine has usually walked from the cleo
trio railway car over the long bridge across
Deal Lake. On his way home about eight
months ago he saw a big dog worrying a
cat on the bridge He drove the brute
away and took the cat up in his arms. The
cat had been badly torn by the dogs teeth.
AS MIR. Bartine was carrying the cat
toward his house the animal was attacked
with spasms and bit him on the right hand,
tearing the flesh considerably. The injured
hand healed nicely and Mr.. Bartiue felt no
Ill effects from the wound until yesterday
afternoon, when he complained of pains in
his side and head. He went home, and the
pains increasing in violence, he sent a mes
senger for DR.. Samuel johnson, his family
physician. When the doctor reached the
mouse Mr.. Bartine was very i'll. His two
daughters were with him. DR.. johnson
administered some medicine. but his patient
was Immediately attacked with violent
spasms. Joseph G. Stout, a neighbor, was
sent for, and spent the night watching
at Mr.. Bartine's bedside Nearly
every hour the sick man went into
spasns. The sight of any kind of liquid
produced the same effect. This afternoon,
while he was rational, he talked about the
cat bite and said he was going to die of
| hydrophobia. One Of his daughters gave
him a saucer Of Strawberries this afternoon
which had been rinsed in water. As a re-
suit Mr.. Bartine had such violent spasms
| that it took four persons to hold him upon
his bed. DIR. johnson sent in haste for DR.
George F. Wilbur. After two hours OF
hard work the two physicians succeeded in
| quieting the patient They said tonight
that Mr.. Bartine had developed all the
symptoms of hydrophobia. Although they
refused to say positively that he had that
disease, Mr.. Bartlne, they said, might live
only few hours.

The Clersyman's f effort.

There is Unitarian clergyman who is not
without a power of keen retort and who is
none the less gifted with the grace to command
his tongue rather than allow his tongue to COM
mand him. says the Boston Courier. He has in
his congregation one of those women who make
a pretense Of franknesS an excuse for rudeness,
and who are given to boaSting that they are
plain spoken, when the truth is that they are
simply bred and insolent This especial lady
is wealthy and there are not many in the list
of her acquaintance who dare rebuke her,
albeit they do together console each other for
the wounds they suffer from her tongue by
abusing her roundly.
1t CHANGED that one evening the lady and the
clergyman were partners at whist at the house
of common friend, and 50 successful were
they that they won almost every game for the
evening. Like people who are fond of having
their own way, the lady was in high humor over
this success, ard when the play was over she
pushed back her chair from the table with the
Characteristic and graceful remark to her part
ner:
You do play good game of whist, Mr. Blank
If you only preached as well as you play whist
it would be a treat to go to church to hear you -
The clergyman was quite equal to the occa-
sion. He kept his temper and mis- lace under
perfect control as he replied:
THANK YOU Miss Sharp; but you know any
body can learn to play whist, while genius and
good breeiing come by grace of Cod

The Oonductor,s Pet.


Talking about women passengers" says the
conductor of Fourth avenue surface car to a
New York Reporter. ''but you watch how they
signal me when they want to get of. I'm
always interested in the variety, and think
some Of them show good deal of character"
The first female to signal was very fat
woman. She had parasol in her hand, and
she raised it up with such energy that the mild
faced young man at her right lodged back.
The second was q pert young lady, who sud
denly sprang to her feet, and had quite reached
tie door when taecar stopped.
The third was q middle aged woman, who
had moved her feet about as if her shoes pinched
her. She lifted up her left hand in weary
way, and as it fell back on her lap she seemed
to whisper to herself; 20, lands How can
ever stand it?''
The fourth was shop-girl who was reading
paper. She released her left hand to give it a
sort of wave, but never took her eyes off the
paper, and was reading the last lines of a para
graph as she walked to the door.
The fifth was a motherly woman with a
basket. She sat on the edge of a seat in a
nervous way, glanced from driver to conductor
and back, and at Twenty fifth street she sud
denly bobbed up, lurched right and left. and
brought up against the door with a bang to find
that she wanted to ride two squares further
down.
"Now watch the little woman at the far end
of the car, said the conductor as Twenty-third
street was passed She's an old patron of
this line. and oil the boys are proud TO carry
her. She gets off at Twentieth"
AT Twenty second street the little woman
drew her small feet under her skirts and rear
ranged her veil a bit. At Twenty-first street
she gave her skirts a shake, rubbed the end Of
her nose with a dainty handkerchief and put
up her hand to see II her hat was securely
pinned. Half square further on she shrugged
her shoulders to settle her cape, and the next
moment she smiled, turned her face to the con-
ductor and bowed twice-two such jolly little
bows, accompanied by such jolly smiles. that
after she was of the car he rang two bells and
confdentially inquired:
You saw it, didn't you? And wouldn't you
pay her fare out of your own pocket to see it
over again? There isn't an actress in America
who could do that little business to equal her. "

ADVENTURES OF A SNAKE.
1t Was Found in Sharks Stomach
After Long Ride.


After Long Ride.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Few snakes pass through a more varied
experience than the one described below.
1t was brought here some time ago by the
chief officer OF the British ship City of Han
kow, who tells the following story Of the
manner in which he obtained it.
1.-THE vessel was becalmed about 200
miles off the coast of Bcrneo." he said,
land, as usual, VIC were surrounded by
myriads of sharks. To relieve the prevail
ing ennui which q calm usually produces
we commenced to fish for the vicious mon
sters. You know when a sailor gets a
shark on deck he has no mercy on him and
rips him up in all directions. We had
treated about half dozen In this way and
were dispatching another, when we were
surprised to end its stomach filed with
dozens Of small snakes, all alive.
ut is very unusual, in fact is almost
unknown, to find snakes in deep sea; so,
after gorging himself on them near shore,
the man-eater must have carried them at
least 200 miles"
The snake is about fifteen inches long and
Is very clearly and prettily marked. Since
1t was removed from the shark it has been
preserved in bottle of alcohol.
The reptile, according to w. F. Nolte the
reptologist, is of the genus Tortrix rufa
species, Cylindrophi rufus and resplendens
1t IS ground snake found only-and then
rsrely-on the island of Java and islands In
the Bay of Bengal. Little is known of its
habits. They are generally about eighty
centimeters long, brown or black in color,
with coral stripe around the neck. The
colors are changeable and very beautiful
On submersion in alcohol they almost all
disappear, save the bands of brown to be
seen in this syecimen.

From the Kansas City Star.
There is a great diversity in all parts of
the globe in regard to the legal marriage
able age.
AT the age of 10 or even Q years girls are
allowed to marry in Arabia, British India,
Persia, Siam and Burmah, and in many in
! stances the males are not much their
seniors. A Bavarian female may marry
between the ages Of II and Is, but the
males may not legally do so until they are
from IA to IS years old. The SAKE oburg-
| Gotha girls may wed at the age of IA, but
the marriageable age for men is 81 years.
| In Austria bride and groom must have
reached the age of IA years, but the parents
consent is absolutely necessary.
Danish males and females must be respect
| lively 20 and is before marriage is allowed.
| With the French the minimum age for the
former is Is and IA for the latter.
In Finland an imperial decree must be
| obtained il couple desire to be married
before the man has reached the age of 81
and the woman Is. An exception is made
In the case of peasants who have a regular
trade or business. These can wed II the
groom is IS and the bride IA.
Russia has law making IS and 16 the
legal ages. The natives of the Caucasus are
exempted from the provisions of this law, Is
for the males and IS for the females being
the ages fixed for their benefit.
Lapland's code is that males must be at
least II, while in Norway and Turkey there
is no fixed period for either sex. In Hun
gary the male may marry at IA, the bride
may be two years younger. But If the
father does not give his consent the mar
r1age is considered null and void.
Among the Italians the usual standard is
observed. being IS for men and 16 for
women.
In Spain, Portugal and Greece the limits
are IA and 12.
The cantonal laws in Switzerland are such
that the ages vary from IA to 30 for males
and 10 to Is for girls
No female in England can marry who has
not passed her 18th year and the male must
be at least Ia. In the United States state
laws regulate marriage. Nearly all of them
require the consent Of parents when the
man is less than 81 and the woman under Is.

A WOUNDED KNAPSACK.
Two Stories by Veterans of the Fight
of Chickamauga.
Fron. the Globe Democrat.

From, the Globe Democrat.
OF all the "reminiscences of Chickamauga's
iron hailstorm Jim Brotherton's experience
was the hardest strain on credulity. Jim
was fighting "the best he knowed how
He was in the thickest of the assault on
Snodgrass Hill. AS he charged across the
road and over the field toward the Dyer
far Jim caught a glimpse of the
home he was born in. But vaIor
did not make Jim forget discretion.
He took advantage OF all the pine trees he
could when going into and coming out of
| the fight. On his back was strapped his
knapsack, and over the knapsack was rolled
his blanket. The two made hump which
projected beyond the trees behind which
Jim took temporary shelter. When Jim
unloaded his knapsack sand blanket the
night after the battle he found that thirty
seven bullets had penetrated it.
"Yes, sir, said Jim, looking the listener
straight in the eyes. "Thirty-seven bullets
had gone into my blanket and knapsack-
thirty-seven bullets and two buckshot If
l had that blanket and knapsack now I
would not take 81. 900 for them. After the
battle l gave them to mother and told her
to keep them for me until l came back from
the war. But you know how it is when
folks is moving around. Things get lost I
don't know what became of the blanket or
knapsack."
There was only one veteran who told q
story which approached that of Jim Broth
eruon in picturesqueness He was Private
Sinnatt, who came all the way from Vir-
ginia to attend the reunion. Private Sim
matt was particularly anxious to meet and
renew acquaintance with some Of the
Twelfth Georgians. A big man of the
Twelfth Georgia saved his life, Private Sim
matt said. sHe explained how.
When he got into what seemed to him
the hottest place he had ever found, Private
Sinnatt lay down behind tree which
wasn't more than eight inches through and
made himself as small as possible. When
he lay there wondering how long it would
be before he would be hit, strapping fell
low from the Twelfth Georgia grabbed him
by the leg, lifted him from behind the tree
and lay down where he had been.
Sinnat says the Georgian was
about twice as big as he was.
He couldn't lick him, so he made the best of
bad situation, crawled up close behind the
Georgian and kept quiet. 1t wasn't but
few minutes until bullet struck the Geor-
gian and killed him. Sinnatt lay still be-
hind the body, which stopped fifteen bullets
before the wave of battle passed on. That is
why Private Siunatt says he will always
cherish kindly feeling for the Twelfth
Georgia

them a few days and then sold them for 81 %
