SNAKE FARMING.
The Peculiar Industry of an Enterprisin,
Missourfan.

! @he Peculiar Industry of Enterprisine
Missourinn.
Snake farming, as an industry, is just
now engaging the attention of the peo-
pie and press of the southwestern sec
ton of Missouri. The Ozark News of a
recent date says: "Sig. Don Allen and
Senorita Lama Lee, representing the
j. e. Childs snake farm at Chadwick,
this county, were in Ozark recently,
establishing agencies for their rattle
snake oil. Miss Lee had with her a
pair of water moccasins that she
handled as though they were kittens.
There is no doubt but that snakes can
be pctted as easily as anything else,
and for a choice between snakes and
alligators we would certainly take
snakes"
Further particulars concerning the
unique enterprise are thus given in an
other edition of the same paper:
Among the many enterprises in south
west Missouri there are probably mono
that attracts more attention than does
the snake farm located thrcc-fourths of
mile due west of Chadwick. The
farm proper consists of about five
ceres, half inclosed by q natural stone
wall, or q ledge. On one side of this
inclosurc is natural rock cave, and out
of this cave runs an everlasting stream
Of the purcst water This spring be-
ing on the highest spot of land on the
farm it is easily conveyed to all places
where needed. Mr.. Childs has been
dealing in snakes and manufacturing
rattlesnalze oil fer over ten years, and
finds it quite profitable, as he supplies
all species of snakes for exhibition pur-
poses, all kinds of snake curiosities, rat
oil to the drug trade, and
charges an admission fec of ten cents
to all visitors who come to the farm
He is now fixing up the place for the
summer trade, and will have large pens
built for the snakes, with living pond |
of water in each one, and platform on
the outside whore visitors may stand |
out Of danger looking at the hundred |
different species, all in their natural |
state, eating, drinking, playing, swim
ming, fighting sleeping, etc l1r. ChilGs
also proposes to pay cash for all live
snakes of any species measuring over
5hrce feet in length. lie proposes 10
'tip ell the snakes out OF this part Of
inc country and bring back cash, in
heir stead"

that the decision was perfectly clear
and satisfactory to the assembly.

At table he was expected to ask a

SEATTLE, Nov. 15-About November
25th tine railroad construction camps on
the lines of the Great Northern and
Monte Crlsto roads will commence to
break up, and, as many of them are ln-
fected with smallpox, the board of health
tonight decided to stop all trains at the
boundary line between King and Snoho-

every man from a railroad or mining
camp to be Yaccinated or show a clean

come. All steamboats, have been with

Striking WOrkmeu.

~PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. I5.-It is now I36
days since the strike inaugurated by members
of the Amalgamated Association at the Law
renceville and Beaver Falls Carnegie mills
began. To-day the Carnegie company started
the Beaver Falls plant, claiming, so far as the
Lawrenceville and Homestead works were
concerned, the strike was over. 1t is not
denied by anyone that the company unques-
tlonably has the better of the hight, although
1t has been enormously expensive. Numbers
of strikers at Lawrenceville and Homestead
are disheartened, and at the same time there
are as many more who are determined to fight
it out if they can be supported. 1t is the
question of finance which is the most serious
problem the men have to deal with. A men,
Der of the advisory committee said to-day that
there was no use IN holding ont false delu-
sions. There are about 1000 persons in
Homestead and 900 each In Lawrenceville
and Beaver Falls on the relief rolls He said:
"Of these, 500 have families, and the Anal
gamated Association contracts to pay them
IS per week. The other 500 get S. per week,
making total of $4,000 a week That is a
severe drain on the organization, composed OF
only $4,000 members. Outside financial aid
has fallen of, until the question of finance is
indeed serious"

court public favor. In the present
campaign it has howled corporation
control of the Republican party, and
now that the people have answered to

No Extra Session.

New YRoK, Nov. I5.-The Sun this
morning says: ''The Sun is permitted to an
nounce that it is the present determination OF
ex President Cleveland not TO call an extra
session of congress after his Inauguration
March 4th next 1t is further announced that
in the estimation, at present, of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and his closest friends, that an extra
session would turn out to be proftless pro-
ceeding. His friends say that Mr.. Cleveland
must have time after his Inauguration to look
over the ground. There is a natural objection
also to the assembling of congress imme-
diately after the Inauguration, on the ground
that it would have more or less of an unset
tling influence on the business of the country
Another objection to an extra session in the
minds of Mr.. Cleveland's friends is that the
Republican party and its allies have demon
strated altogether too eager desire that Mr.
Cleveland should call an extra session. 1t is
not customary for new administration to ac-
cept counsel from the enemy, but stronger
than anything is the feeling that an extra ses-
sion could be of no particular advantage, and
the proper thing TO do is to give Mr.. Cleve-
land and the Democratic leaders time to look
around and determine Just what course to
pursue. The best authorities said last night
that it would take all next summer and fall to
get under headway, and that it will be plenty
of time to go ahead at the beginning of the
sgd congress, which assemblies on the first
Monday in December, 1867

possible for any six persons to view

that twelve men can go into the jury

and not till then will right and justice

Economic studies


An effort Is being made by the Cbau.
tauqua authorities to organize political
economy clubs In communities where a
sufficient number can be enlisted TO form
a working organization, the object being
to awaken a wider interest in the study
of economic and social questions. The
work is to be conducted by means of de-
bates and discussions, subjects for which
will be suggested in circulars to be sent
to each member of the club. In letters
accompanying these circulars hints and
suggestions will be gwen and the princi-
pal recent economic events will be briefly
treated when appropriate TO the subject
in hand. The circulars in addition will
contain references to books and perlodi-
cal literature which will be helpful in
preparing debates and discussions. 1t is
announced that If the plan meets with
anticipated success, a political economy
club day will be held each summer at
ChautauQua, at which prominent pollt-
ical economist will be invited to deliver
an annual address, and several of the best
papers written by members of the clubs
will be read. 1t will be interesting to
watch the operation of this plan.

Speculation as to Cabinet OMcers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-There is a sur
prise in store for the local makers of cab
iuets to-day because they will have to
take into consideration new name. 1t
is that of Senator John G. Carlisle, of
Kentucky, and he Is likely to be made
secretary of state. Senator Carlisle, who
has been in the city since Saturday be-
fore election, started for home yesterday
afternoon. Since Mr.. Cleveland's elec :
ton, they have been in prolonged consul
tation almost daily. Mr.. Carlisle ON
Monday spent three hours with MIR.
Cleveland. He visited him on Sunday,
and remained with him until nearly mid
night. He spent almost the entire pre-
ceding day with Cleveland and his friends.
The president elect has talked with Car
Isle about all the Issues OF The campaign,
and asked his advice on many tickllsh
points. Mr.. Cleveland thinks that MIR.
Carlisle is the man he wants for tine posi-
ton of secretary OF state The newest
name in cabinet speculation is that of
James G. Carter. He Is lie ding Dem :
ocratic lawyer of this city, and there is no
doubt that MIR. Cleveland has him In
mind. A friend OF Mr.. Carter said yes-
tecday: "Mr. Carter is an intimate per
sonal friend of the president-elect, man
of high character, and the possessor of a
sufficient fortune to give him that easy
independence which is almost indispen-
sable to one who Is TO assume the post of
secretary of state. To the objection that
Mr.. Carter is not well known to the
country at large, however we'll be may be
known to lawyers in this city, the presi
dent elect has replied that Mr.. Carter is
better known than any man who became
a member OF General Grants second cab
inet Mr.. Carter, in Mr.. Cleyeland's
opinion, is not only more able man
than Hamilton Fish was when he became
secretary of state under Grant, but is in
the enjoyment of u wider fame"

JURIES AND LAWYERS.

The jury system prevailing In this
country-one Of the peculiar institu
tions of the common law brought to
this country from England by our
Puritan and Pilgrim ancestors-is al
ways fruitful subject of discussion
during the session of courts, and when
juries do not satisfy the popular idea
Of Justice there is liable to he public
clamor against this part of our juris-
prudence. No causes involving the in
alienable rights of freemen have been
adiudicated this term, and therefore the
voice of the people has not been raised
condemning the iniquities of the insti-
tuition. But in fairness, it must be
considered that the men who com pose
juries are part and parcel of the COM
munity from which they are drawn,
and are subject to the same diverse
conclusions regarding the right or
wrong of an act. This creates divis-
ions and classes in society, in politics,
