THE FATHER OF SNAKES.
A Den OF Reptiles aud an Indian Tradition
Concerning 1t.


Concerning 1t.
Every one who has lived on the
'Grcat Plains" or in the mountains dur
ing the past twenty-five years, will re-
call the fact that at certain seasons
thousands of rattlesnakes and other
species of serpents may be found in the
vicinity of the stone lodges bordering
the creeks and rivers of the region re-
ferred to. 1t will also be remembered
that by some peculiar instinct these
reptiles congregate early in the fall
around the crevices in the rocks, soon
to hibernate in immense, tangled
masses under the ground.

although it should not be termed an
antidote in the strictest acceptance of
the term, for it is nature, after all, that

aided, if the physical constitution of
the individual affected could always
stand the violent shock. Whisky Is
merely q powerful stimulant, keeping
up the vitality, until nature herself
throws of the poison.

M'NULTYS CASE.

1ne Governor considering an Appl1ca-
ton to Postpone the Execution.
Governor Markham was so busy yes
terday investigating the case of McNulty,
condemned for the murder of long
shoreman in San Francisco, and who has
petitioned for stay of proceedings under
his sentence, that he could not get away
for Camp Columbus, but will go this
morning. He had taken no action up to
last night.
Carroll Cook, McNulty's attorney, is
endeavoring to have the latter's execu-
ton delayed, it having been fixed by
Judge Murphy for next Friday. Cook
has notified District Attorney Barnes that
he will appeal to the Supreme Court from
the order of Judge Murphy.
This is the second appeal in the case,
and 1t is made principally TO gain time in
order to hear from the appeal made from
the first decision to the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
In the meantime, for fear that the date
of execution might not be delayed, At
torney Cook has decided to see Governor
Markham and explain to him the abso-
lutte necessity of a stay OF proceedings
until the United States Supreme Court
can be heard from.
McNulty shot and killed man named
Collins about four and a half years ago.
1t seems that the slayer was attacked by
crowd of five men who beat him with
clubs. To defend himself McNulty fired
pistol and killed one Of his assailants.
Tomorrow District Attorney Barnes
will go before the Supreme Court and
move that the second appeal in the case
of McNulty be dismissed, on the ground
that the appeal is made only for the pur-
poses of delay, and that all the points of
the appeal have heretofore been passed
upon by the Supreme Court.

A Russian Sunerstition

Influenza and smallpox are reported
as making terrible ravages among the
kalmrcs in the steppes of the lower
Volga in Southeastern Russia. Whole
villages were decimated to such an ex-
tent that they were abandoned and are
almost entirely deserted. This result
was produced in part by the superstition
of the people, believing that person
singled out by Providence with so un-
usual visitation as influenza or small
pox ought neither TO be relieved nor dis
turbed by the presence of other people,
including friends and family. He ought
to be allowed, it is said, the privilege OF
dying in peace. For this reason the
numerous cases of the plague caused a
stampede of the population en- masse.
and thus the country has been depopu-
lated.

PHILOSOPHICAL MORALITY
A Social Evil That City Ordinance
Does Not Prevent

Does Not Prevent.
Anita Para, Spanish woman, was
tried by a jury in Judge Cravens' court
yesterday on the charge of renting house
for immoral purposes. The house in
question is ''crib" at 323 L street.
Captain Bradley testified to having de-
tected notorious woman in the act of
paying 81 to Anita Para, and was told it
was for the rent.
The woman who occupied the place for
seVeraI weeks testified, and in substance
admitted that her business was of an UNI
questionable character, not recognized by
law.
mayor Anderson appeared for the de-
tense and lnterposed innumerable obiec-
tlonS TO as many questions, and before
the case was submitted he made an argu-
ment in which he introduced a great deal
OF dangerous philosophy in relation to
what he termed 1.-The social evil"
The Major, in defense of his client. in
tlmated that the ordinance under which
the dusky Anita was being prosecuted
was practically obsolete, in that its pro-
visions We're not enforced. There was,
he said, portion Of the street in question
given over TO the immoral purposes COM
planned OF, and the evil could not be
eradicated.
City Attorney Hart, in closing the case.
made an able argument, regretting the
sentiments expressed by Major Ander-
son, saying they were unworthy of him
and he held that the evil complained of
was one not countenanced by the popula-
ton generally, but that it was maintained
by few property holders, while every
one knows there Is a constant and vigor-
Gus protest from the better class of citi-
Zens.
notwithstanding the convincing evil
dence and the argument of the Civ At

guilty, after being out but a few mo-
ments. The jury was composed of j. n.
