Mr.. PowDERLY, chief Of the knights
of labor, when under examination by a
congressional investigating committee
yesterday, admitted that the owners OF
mills have every right to defend their
property against the attacks Of strikers.
AS a reasonable man he could not have
done otherwise, but it is nevertheless
gratifying to know that the head of such
!. large labor organization should thus
set the seal of disapprobation upon
violence as a means whereby strikers
attempt TO gain their ends.

A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.-On the
second story of the small building in
which Mr.. Donald Burns carries on the
lsness of selling snakes and wild ami
IN us, there occurred Il few days ago a
fierce fight which ended in the death of
one of the fighters. 1t was not an ordi-
nary Cherry street scrap. The combat
ants were king snake ten feet long
and diamond RATHER.
Mr.. Burns keeps his snakes all to-
gethe- behind a wire netting covering
the width of the room. Acquisitions to
the snake inclosure are admitted
through a flimsy wooden door. The
RATHER arrived from Texas. and was put
behind the screen. The kingsnakc was
soon aware of the rattlers presence.
He hear the warning rattle, and forth
with prep lred for battle.
The rattler, true to the instincts of
his kind, tried to get away from the
lungsnake. He made for Il corner, with
the kingsnake in pursuit. The king
snake lifted his head and made lunge
at the rattler's throat. There was hiss
ing and squirming and presently the
llingsnake had grip on the rattler's
neck. The kingsnake either squeczes
his enemy to death or gets two holds
on him and stretches him until he parts
in the middle.
In their struggle the snakes bounded
from one side of the cage to the other,
and finally b.oke through the fragile
door and continued the fight out in the
main room. Mr.. Burns stood on Il
chair and placidly looked on. The
kingsnake already had two grips on
the RATHER, and was beginningto stretch
him. The rattlesnake was biting all
the time, apparently without affecting
his antagonist.
AT the end of Is minutes the rattlcr's
head ceased to work. His body had
been pulled out to one-third its normal
diameter. When the kingsnake saw
that the rattler was dead he loosened
his hold and slowly crawled back into
the cage.-N. Y. Sun.

the household effects Of about sixty
families out of the company's houses.
There was no hostile demonstration
made by any of the strikers. The

put in good repair. Arrangements
have been made to accommodate 1000
men. The six foremen in the mechan-

for their position again to-day but were

cause is emotion. The extreme bash

These causes are, however, usually in
sufficient to produce bashfulness, but
there must be some further necessary
condition. Many conditions predispose
to it-e. g., highly nervous tempera-
ment, deficient moral courage, with
which is associated lack of self assertion.
These may be regarded as constitutional
causes.
Another predisposing cause is defect,
