WoMAN's wonderful bravery and self
abnegation where beloved ebject Is
concerned was exemplified the other
dav in the case OF an Indiana mother
who found her baby In the coils OF ten
foot blacksnake. She screamed and
tainted at first. Three men, one OF
whom was the child's father, who came
10 her resue, were afraid to touch the
reptile, which was choking the life out
OF the child. But when the mother
came to she rushed to her baby, seized
the horrible monster by the neck. and
with almost superhuman strength
dragged 1t away.

A "Freak" Side Show.
Tucker Democrat.

The idea of having an extra session OF
Congress and of the U. S. Supreme Court
held in Chicago as side shows to the big
exposition while unique does not seem
to enthuse the country. The solemnity
of the atmosphere which always sur
rounds the Supreme Court would be sad
" out of place in Chicago; Congress,
particularly the House In one OF Its bois-
ferrous moods, would be perfectly at
at home there but there Is reason to be-
lieve that a great majority OF its MEM
bers will object to being thus placed on
exhibition. 1t will be too much on the
order of MRS. Jarley's Wax Works"

BRILLIANT OUTDOOR PARTY.
A Largely Attended Society Event at th
Park.

Last night there was one of the most
brilliant society gatherings Of the sea-
son at Wheeling Park. The ominous
weather which prevailed in the early
evening, had the effect of keeping some
from attending. yet large number
braved the climatic prospects, and en-
loved one OF the most pleasant parties
eyerrgigen at that popular resort. The
larger number went out on the eight
O'Clock motor, but the next motor also
took large number, as the weather by
that time had assumed more favorable
aspect.
The evening was given up to dancing,
bowling, and the other amusements pro-
yIded at the Park. The affair was a
complete success, much OF the credit OF
which is due to Mr.. Chas. List, who had
charge of the arrangements.

HIP. HURRAHl

For LIZ years have generations of
Americans annually uncorked their pa
triotism on this, the glorious Fourth
Day of July.
That we are proud of the day any one
NAV ascertain to his entire satisfaction
by sizing up the large volume OF noise
and the numerous burnt and mutilated
hands and faces and singed eyebrows
we gladly endure to celebrate 1t as 1t
should be celebrated. We are appar-
emily raving maniacs on Independence
Day because it is Independence Day.
We are willing that our youngsters
shall burn holes in their clothes and
blow the ends off their fingers and
thumbs. because it is the anniversary OF
the day on which our glorious forefath-
ers declared that this should be free
and independent nation and shook
their Declaration and fists right boldly
upder King GEORGES nose and invited
him to 90 ahead with his rat KILN.
We love the memory Of these grand
old gentlemen. We owe to them over
century Of free government. We love
them for the spunk and indomitable
stick-to.it qualities they displayed and
we are as willing, over century after,
70 risk life and limb and hearing to Gel
citrate their great act in sending that
little notification to King GEORGE, as
the sturdy Coutinentals were to spill
their hearts blood to uphold it.

The exclusive publication in the REG

affairs of the American Maturity and
Loan Association, created a vast amount
of talk about town, coming, as II did, In
the midst of the Freternity trouble.
The REGISTER this morning is en-
abled to lay some additional informa-
ton before its readers, concerning the
connection of Mr.. j. S. McCaskey, OF
New Martinsville, w. Va, with the
Maturity Association, the text OF which
goes to show that the statement made
yesterday that Mr.. McCaskey only went
into the matter on representations made
to him that leading attorney had con-
sented to the use of his name, was true.
The letter is as follows:

To the Editor Of the Register:
SIR: Please be kind enough to give
the following place In your valuable
paper:

and he replied that he wanted no money
from me but 1t was necessary to have
citizens of this State associated, and he
desired the use Of my name In that con-

siderable talk. finally consented to per-
nit the use OF my name. pro-
vided Judge Cranmer did the same. /
felt that II Judge Cranmer permitted
the use OF his name the matter was all
right, as knew him by reputation to be
an experienced, high minded and honora-
BILE gentleman.
"Some days after Mr.. Edgetts visit
here, was In Wheeling, and signed the
articles of incorporation, the articles
having previously been signed by
Judge Cranmer, J. p. Taylor, B. w.

strong suggestions that the newspapers
were drawing the long-bew when they
intimated that vast sums had been re-
ceived here and deposited in the local
banks. The REGISTER is In a position

| month, Sl27,742. 80 was deposited in
the Exchange bank Of this city, to the

good reason to believe that at least
$50, 600 has been received by the Frater-

of which has not been deposited in bank,
so far as can be learned, some other
disposition being made OF the money.

THE VALLEY OF SLEEP.

h Hes In this west when the sun goes down,
| Graded by shining mountains Of gold,
And its geudy forests are never brown,
| Its meadows CLEAN with wealth untold,
Waterod by crimson rivers Of light,
Those shining pools now a mystery keep
First we must hope, then love, then weep
1 Morn cannot prize the pleasure deep
OF the beautiful distant valley Of sleep.
AT midday its streets look long and bright,
The shade Of peace but q sigh awakee,
For rest to gain In the morrow's fight,
! The will and strength that victory takes.
Bathed In the calm effulgent light,
The hush of the summer sweet rest may
keep
First we must climb ambitions steep
Noon cannot prize the silence deep
OF the beautiful ha2y valley of sleep.
The shadows of eve stretch far and wide,
And life bereft of Its old desire
Follows the wake Of purple tide
Lit by y suns innoouous fire.
Now when the ways are passed and to
Fain would we paddle these waters deep,
Too tired to labor or love weep;
Eve would eternal slumber keep
In tho beautiful silent valley of sleep.

In tho Blind Rush Made for tho Doors
Nine children are Thrown Down and
Trampled to Death-A Check-Taker
Losos His Life in an Attempt to Restore
Order.
LONDON Dec. 27.-At theatre at
Gateshead, county Durham, last night
the sight Of the slight blaze caused by
man in the audience dropping lighted
some one to start the cry Of "fre," and a
a terrible panic at once ensued. There was
a wild rush for the DOORS which quickly be-
came SO blocked thet only few succeeded
in at once getting out. There was an es-
pecia violent rush for the stairs from the
gallery.
The passage giving access to this staircase
became blocked with persons striving to es
cape, while the staircase itself was filed
with struggling mass of humanity from
the top landing to the outlet.
A check taker, in trying to restrain the
crowd in its mad behaviour, was thrown to
the floor and crushed to death beneath the
feet of the panic-strken people.
When the panic had subsidized the
bodies of nine children, whose lives had
on the staircase near a door leading to it,
A constable who came to assist in the
work of rescue, on dragging out boy, who
was wedged among the struggling people, dis
covered that the lad was his own son. The
boy was terribly injured and died ON the
way home. Many others were injured.

NO REST FOR SAWTELLE.


GREAT FALLS, n. H., Dec. 29.-Sa W.
telle's body is in the care of Undertaken
Faunce, who simply awaits orders and
knows nothing now OF its final disposal, save
that thcre is talk Of carrying the body to
Boston. If Sawtelle's counsel have my
plans, they are very indefinite. Mr.. Ed
gerly is reticlen5 and apparently has made
no plans. He first talked of taking the
the body to Boston tomorrow on the first
train, but now he docs not know when it
will be sent. Lawyer Worcester of Roches
ter was here this afternoon and looked at
the body, and had a conference with Mr..
Edgerly.
1t is thought that the body will never
leave this town and that attempts are being
made to mislead the public the body is
not wanted here. y report that promi
nent physician ID to prepare Sawtell's skele-
ton for disposal is believed by many. If
the body is buried here and the people dis
cover it the ng so is strong that it would
undoubtedly be dug up.
