THE DOG LAW.
Slaughter of Unlicensed CANNES Will Be-
gin Wednesday.

The law passed by the last legislature
establishing a license of $1.15 for every
male and $3.15 for every female dog, is
approaching a point where unlicensed
dogs are to be slaughtered. BY We'd
nesday the mayors and selectmen
throughout Maine will have issued war
rants to police and constables directing
them to proceed forthwith to kill every
unlicensed dog, and also enter complaint
against the owner. The officers get a
fee of dollar for every dog killed; and
every person keeping an unlicensed dog
is subjected to fine of $40, half of
which goes to the city or town and the
other half to the complainant. Some
people having dogs have declined to pay
the tax, and have sent word to the con-
stables to come and kill their dogs. Such
people are running the risk of a fine.
Not a few owners of dogs have taken
legal counsel and propose to resist pay
ment of the tax. Such is the case with
well known Deering man, who owns a
fine dog. The law specifies that copy
of its provisions shall be posted twenty
days before April 1st by mayors and Sc
lectmen. As the law itself was not APP
proved until March 20, some think the
law can be overthrown. Only the
judges and lawyers know whether this
is a good point, and it will be much
cheaper to pay the tax than to wait for
opinions.
The object of this dog law is defined in
it's title ian act for the better protection
af sheep" All the license mony is
turned into the state treasury where it is
kept as fund for the payment of dam
ages for sheep killed by dogs. If any re-
mains after the sheep are paid for, this
sum is divided among the cities and
towns in proportion to the amount each
has paid in.
In the week just passed there has been
quite a general furnishing up of old guns
by the country constables, who are to
take the war path this week.

A Clever Swindler Uses the Name of a
Woodfords Physician

A man according to the Bangor Com
mercial has been getting liquor from
Bangor druggists, on a forged prescrip-
ton of DR.. c. w. Foster of Woodfords.
He claimed the doctor was sick in his
yacht in the river with cold and his
whiskey had given out. Most of the
druggists tumbled to the clever fraud.
but some said they did business only for
cash. Of course there was no yacht in
the river and no DR.. Foster. DR.. Foster
has also heard that the same man tried
to work game at the Evans house in
Gardiner, where he tried to get put up
on the strength of note written on one
of DR.. Foster prescription blanks, and
signed, 'sFoster, M. d. The swindler is
described as tall, well dressed man. At
Gardiner he had a mustache of blonde
color, and goatee, which was evidently
dyed black. In Bangor he had discarded
the goatee.

Eliza Hegeman Depew.

NEW YORK, May Mrs. Eliza Hege-
man Depew, wife Of Chauncey M. De-
pew, died at her home, 43 West Fifty
fourth street, at 1890 this afternoon.
Mrs. Depew was seriously i'll, but her
death was sudden. Her father was the
late Mr.. Hegeman, well known dealer
in drugs, who traced his ancestry back to
the earliest Dutch settlers of New York.
Her mother was the daughter of Colonel
Niven, once distinguished New York
attorney, who sprang from an old revo-
lutionary family. Mrs. Depew was mar
ried to Mr.. Depew November 4. 1871.
One child, Chauncey Depew, Jr., is Ia
years old. Mrs. Depew cared little for
society, and devoted her time mainly to
charitable and church work. For years
she was president of the Women's Asso-
citation Hahnemann Hospital, and was
connected with score or more of church
associations. During the past two years
she has been an invalid. She never en-
tirely recovered from an attack af grip
during the epidemic two years ago.

RATTLEsNAKEs.

one seen and Pursued on Cape Elizabeth
saturday-The Reptile at First Reiterated
and Then Made stand-Then the Pur-
suer Reiterated.
A well known citizen of Portland, who
visited Cape Elizabeth with his son
Saturday, had an experience which he
will not soon forget. In the piece OF
woods on the "new road'' nearly half
way to the Ocean House, the gentleman
withhis boy got out of the carriage to look
for hepaticas. While searching for the
flowers two snakes were heard to run.
The gentleman saw and pursued one Of
them. 1t was a large snake, larger than
usually seen in these regions, apparently
Is or 20 inches long, colored dark gray,
with a brownish red vertebral line, inter
rupted by a row of nearly square black
spots margined with yellow. At first
the snake fed, but when its pursuer had
thrown stone at it, it suddenly stopped
and prepared for defence. Then sudden
ly rung out that peculiar and unmis-
taxable rafting sound that belongs to
this family ofredoubtable reptiles. The
pursuer stopped, and then retreated. No
stick OF other weap on was at hand, SO
the snake remained master of the field.
This snake was probably the small, or
ground RATHER, which is quite common
in ATTITUDES little further south. This
snake is in the habit of frequenting dry
places among leaves, and preys upon
| field mice and small birds. Its bite is
fatal to small animals, but not to man.
Rattlesnakes are unusual, but by no
means unknown in this portion of New
England. There is hill in the town of
Raymond which was much frequented
by rattlers years ago, and it is believed
that there are some there to this day.
Years ago they were quite plentiful in
the Conway mountains in Fryeburg; and
in North Conway there is a ridge of
hills or small mountains, called Rattle
snake Range" It is generally believed
that the rattlesnake has never made his
way east of the Androscoggin river.
When the country was newer the reptile
was much more numerous than now.
