THE SNAKE-CHARMER.
A Favorite In East India, Although lie
Fools the People.

A Favorite I'm East India, Although lie
Fools the People.
In the city of Srinagar, the capital
of the Maharajah of Kashmir, there is
a palace whose spacious halls and
courtyards are daily thronged with
Longing spectators of n performance
still dear to the wonder-loving Oriental
mind. Snake-charming is a feat re-
peatedly described by travellers in
India, and explained by scion tific
Psychologists who know the processes
whereby animal instincts are lulled
and subdued. The reptile can either be
deprived of his natural weapon, his
deadly poison, or can be gradually
weaned from the impulse TO use it
extensively, till the simplest child may
day hands on the basilislS, the viper or
the cobra without fear of harm, or may
let the serpent curl around his neck,
while the artful oonjurer, practicing an
hereditary secret skill, ascribes this
marvel 10 the favor of the gods. If
you should take pains, as an enlight-
e1ed European friend, to convince the
Hindoo crowd that this is no miracle at
all, the snaSe-charrner would then con-
sole himself with n professional prov

WHATEVER changes could be recon-

get back again, and the astonishing
thing about Mr.. Healey is that he has
returned safe and sound no less than
forty times He is full of good stories
about hunting queer animals, and he
told a number to u New York reporter
a day or two ago. His hunting is of a
more difficult sort than the ordinary,
because his purpose is not simply de-
structive; it is instructive, so TO speak,
for he brings his prey back alive for is
to look at. Thus we get some knowl-
edge of the jungle without Ethiopians'
spears, a yard or two long, thrust
through our vltals.
Mr.. Healey, the African hunter, is
man about feet S inches in height.
He has an English cast of countenance.
His eyes are, perhaps, his most striking
feature. They are deep brown, and
are extremely resolute in the way they
look out upon the world. A long,
sweeping mustache, of deep black
color, sets off his face to great advan-
tage. Mr.. Healey is bronzed by African
suns. His form is somewhat bent,
under stress of the hard life he has had
these many years past.

"That is it, my boy" said the Afri-

Then, the locality decided upon, off we

monkeys are astlr; each of my

The pals of rum are buried at the

DUBLIN, Nov. ia crowded national

Justin Mccarthy presided during the open
ing proceedings, but suddenly became In
disposed and left the chair. whereupon Mr..
Sexton took his place. A majority of the
McCarthyites of the House Of Commons
were present.

also passed.
T. P. OConnor, in the course Of an ad-
dress TO the meeting said that the grand
convention before which he spoke proved
that the unity of the country was fairly es-
tablished. He declared that the attitude Of
the McCarthyite members towards the
liberals was perfectly fair and clear. and
that the liberals were bound to give to Ire
land parliament worthy or acceptance by
the Irish, who, in return, would assist in
passing great measure of English reform.
Michael Davitt, in addressing the meet
ing, said that Lord Salisbury and his allies
were relying for the support of their cause
on the spirit of religious bigoGry.

thy Healy also addressed the meeting.

CARNEGIE's STRIKERS
The Company Starts Its Plant at Bea-

The Company Starts Its Plant at Bea-
yer Falls.
PIrTsBURa. Pa. Nov. 15.-It has now
been 13s days since the sympathy strike in
sugurated by the members Of the amalga-
mated association at the Carnegie mills at
Lawrsnceville and Beaver Falls began.
The Carnegie Steel Company dimited) to-
day started the last OF its works the Beaver
Falls plants, claiming that SO far as the
Lawrenceville aud Homestead works are
concerned, the strike is over. Il is
not denied by any one that
the better Of the fight, although it has been
enormously expensive. There are numbers
OF men in Lawrenceville and Homestead
who are disheartened, and at the same time
there are as many more who are yet deter
mined to fight it out and who will fight for
months, If they can be supported.
QUESTION OF FINANCE.
1t is question Of finance which the men
have to deal with. and it is this which led
TO the nine hours conference yesterday of
the advisory committees from Homestead,
Lawrenceville and Beaver Falls with
officials of the amalgamated association.
The conference was not entirely satisfactory.
Inc problem now is to raise money to con-
tinue the fight in the hope that something
may turn up favorable in the end, for to-
day, were the difficulties adjusted, many
strikers would not be taken back, their
positions being filed.
THE SITUATION AS IT Is.
A member of the advisory committee
said to-day there was no use Of holding out
false decisions, but the situation must be
confronted as it is. There are about 900
persons in Homestead and 800 each in Law
renceville and Beaver Falls on the relief
rolls" he said. or these, one-half, or 500
have families, and the amalgamated asso-
citation contracts to give them IS week
The other 800 men receive S. week, max
ing total of $4,000 a week. That is a
severe drain on an organization composed
of only q, 900 members. The outside
financial aid, while generous to a large de-
gree at first, has fallen off until it is hardly
factor, and the question Of finance is in
deed serious"
HoMEsTEAD's FORCE.
At present there are between 225 and 800
men working at Homestead, of which the
strikers say but fifty-nine are old employees.
At Lawrencevllle the men agree
that the plants are filed, though the
strikers say not by capable men. About
l 900 men are working in the two plants.
The Beaver Falls plant was thrown open
yesterday to its old men, and so far thirty
have been employed.
Another strike against the amalgamated
association which is sEill on is at the Elba
iron works. where about 800 men are out.
The plant has been almost refilIed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The AmaIgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers and

Tuesday, Dec. 10 as Homestead day, and

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Jim Wall, a we'll.

Wall is the man who attracted the atten-

ian bookmaker and did business at Garfield
park, Washington park and Hawthorne
after fashion that looked queer to Ameri-
can eyes. He carried leather sachel slung
over his shoulder, out of which he paid all
bets and into which he put a 1T 10 money
bet with him. He had two $25. coo
bank certificates and other assets to bring
his stock in trade up to 500, 600. Several
days ago trunk containing sachel and
some papers was found on the West Side
prairie, and the bookmakers of the city

alive. Some people say Wall has gone back

SUBSIDIES FOR STEAMERS.
The Democrats Bound by Contracts
Already Made,

ALREADY MADE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-In the forecast
that has been made relative to the policy of
the Fifty-third con gress, the necessity has
been pointed out of making some reduction
10 expenditures in order to avoid a deficit
LA this relation it has been stated that the
policy of substituting mail steamship lines
would present an opportunity for the dems
ocrstic congress to use the pruning knife.
This new service, so far as it is established,
is being performed under contracts with
the government. There are now in oper-
alton five subsidized mail lines plying be-
tween ports in this country and ports in
South America. The first of next month
service will begin on two additional lines.
OF these lines, three have contracts for five
years service, and two for ten,,y ears. Next
March another contract will go into effect,
aud so, altogether, there will be, at the
close of the present administration, eight
lines carrying mails to foreign ports. Con-
tracts have already been entered into for
haps, the most important of all the con-
tracts. They provide for carrying OF the
mails from New York to Antwerp and
Liverpool This service. however, accord
ing to the contracts, will not begin until
1895. Appropriations have already been
made for the cost OF the service on eight
OK these lines, which amount for
one year to nearly Sl,000,00I. The
Estimated cost of the additional service
already contracted for will amount
10 about $1,500,000 yearly. While
the Sdepartment will be dependent
en- congress for the money with which
10 pay the amounts to bee me due eaot
year on these contracts, the contracts are
nevertheless legal documents, and the gov
eminent is bound BY them. 1t is stated that
if congress should refuse to appropriate the
money the steamship companies have Legal
recourse to the court of claims to compe
faithful performance of all the obligations
assumed by the government under the con-
tracts.
