Peter Gruber's Unique Garb.

Peter Gruber. the Rattlesnake
King, of Venango ca-nty, has made
the most unique Costume any man
ever wore. 1t consists of coat, vest,
trousers. hat, shoes and shirt, and is
made entirely of the skins of rattle
snakes.
Seven hundred snakes, all caught
and skinned by Gruoer during the
past five years, provided the material
for this novel costume. To preserve
the 1eNibility OF the skins to the
greatest possible degree. the snakes
were skinned alive, first being made
unconscious by chloroform.
They were then tanned by a
method peculiar to Gruber. and are
as soft and elastic as WOODEN goods.
The different articles for this outfit
were made by Oil City tailors. shoe
makers and hatters, and the costume
is valued at S1,00O.-New York sun.

FOR A SILVER COMPROMISE.
Important Conference Said to Have Been
Held at mr. CarlisIe's.

NEW LORE, Feb. -o.-According to a
Washington special an important step
toward the re-opening Of the silver
question before this Congress expires
has been advised at secret conference
held at the residence of Mr.. Carlisle,
the next Secretary of the Treasury
Representatives Of both the free-sil-
yer and anti-free silver factions were
present and free expression of views
as to the possibility of passing a COM
promise bill was held. A proposition,
which did not come from the anti-free
silver men, was finally settled upon.
This scheme is to suspend the silver
purchases under the Sherman act un-
til the seigniorage silver shall be
coined at the rate of $1,000. 900 a
month.
Mr.. Carlisle took no side in the con-
ference, it is said, but simply explained
the effects of the propositions on the
treasury. Before the conference closed
Mr.. Cox Of Tennessee, speaking for the
silver men present, said that while he
was not strongly in favor Of the propo-
sitiOn he thought, perhaps. it was the
wisest action that could be taken with
SO little time Intervening between now
and the close Of the session.
1t is understood that a bill carving
out the compromise will be introduced
to-day by Mr.. Livingston and it looks
as if an attempt would be made this
week to get the bill through the house.

A leading authority of the United

One of the wonders of the worm

that eats ice with as much avidity as
the silkworm does mulberry or Usage

The earthworms of Cape Colony,

mum length of six feet five inches and
are thick accordingly. When Vr.
Nicer and the other Dutch explorers
first visited the Good Hope regions
these Shiny creatures were regular

In China there is a kind of worm
that regularly falls prey to a species
of parasitic fungus. In the course of
time this fungus pervades the poor
worm 5 entire anatomical structure,
converting him into a woody fiber, in
which state he is esteemed as being a
valuable medicine.
New Zealand, Australia, the Samoan

Mayor Gilroy came here on Friday

1T WAS HORSE AND HORSE
A Bluff by Gentleman From the
"Gut' That Didn't Work.

sGut" That Didn't Work.
They were iS concert hall in the
Tenderloin district on Thanksgiving
evening, and the streets in the vicin-
ity were crowded with enthusiastic
college boys, who yelled for Yale on
the least provocation, and kept it up
necessarily. Down near the stage
we're numberof sports of distinctive
types, one party being Enthusiastically
"horsey," and crowd Of three or
four to the left being composed of
boisterous Yale students, who had 6.
weakness for blue ribbons.
After imbibing with unfailing reg
ularity, one big collegian became too
enthusiastic over the high kicking of
a danseuse who held the boards, and,
in waving his walking cane, he acct
dentally struck one of the ''horsey"
gentlemen, who wore a huge striped
shirt and dazzling diamonds, on the
head. The gentleman from Gutten-
burg, for such he proved to be, had
evidently been up against a hard
game during the afternoon, and, up
to the time of the accident, he had
repeatedly cast some slurring re-
marks about 'sgosh blamed dudes, y
speaking in an undertone to his com
panions.
The knock on the head was too
much for him, however, and jumping
up he looked the six-foot student
square in the eyes and shouted: ''You
gol darned Back Bay idget. I'll drop
the flag on you in a minute and send
you down de back stretch at a record
breaking pace quicker'n you kin say
Jack Robinson. Den I'll put de spurs
into you and gallop you down to de
wire all a-swervin' quicker'n Salvador
could 90 down a coal hole. Don't
make no breaks at me young man,
see!" the last remark being accom-
panied by a dexterous wave OF the
hand, after which his vocabulary was
evidently exhausted, and, growing
exceedingly red in the face, he sat
down nervously.
The big collegian was nonplu ssed
for the moment, but he quickly re-
covered himself and let a yell out of
him which could be heard down to
the Battery. WHAT" he said, '.You!
you insignificant horse trout, do you
know what I'll do with youP I'll just
form V here, all to myself, and
buck your center. Then I'll tackle
you fair, go round your right end for
about forty yards, then I'll make a
touchdown and kick goal with you all
over this place. Dye mind that:?''
It was too much for the Gutten-
burg sport, says the New York Ad-
vertiser, and realizing that his bluff
didn't work, he pushed ais way out of
the throng and disappeared down

A SNAKE. CAT, AND AN OLDHEN
Biddy DisT osed OF the Ophidian Neatly

Biddy DtsT osed OF the Ophidian Neatly
by Swallowing 1t Alive.
Mrs. }. j. Edison discovered that
the house eat and a snake were having
o battle in the yard, and called Mr..
Edison to the rescue of kitty, says
the Union Strings, Ala, Herald. But
Mr.. Edison was more curious to
see the fight go on than he was anx-
lous to rescue the cat, especially as
the cat did not seem anxious to be
rescued. The snake, which was of
the species commonly known as the
"spreading- adder" and about IS
inches long, would curl itself into po-
sition time and again and strike vi
ciOusly at the cat The cat must
have had some previous training under
the Jim Corbett system, for it's 1.-the
body was just out OF reach of the
reptiles poisonous fangs every time.
The cat retorted by bounding at its
snakeship with surprising quickness,
and with wide-open claws would try
to tear the body of the snake. Some
times the snake would spread out les
head until it seemed twice it's natural
size. But this only made the cat use
her claws more swiftly.
The peculiarly fascinating battle
scene continued for several minutes,
watched by Mr.. and Mrs. Edison.
Both cOmbatants at last took a
breathing spell, seemingly quite
tired. About the time hostilities
commenced anew an old hen with her
brood of young chickens appeared on
the spot. The hen sided with the cat
and attacked the snake, for the pur-
pose, as Mr.. Edison thought, of get
ting meal for the little ones, and
after pecking at it once or twice
caught it firmly just back of the head
and shook it violently. The little
chicks thought that they would have
a picnic. But not so; the hen DELHI
erately swallowed the whole snake
before it was dead. The little chicks
looked Disguised on account Of their
mothers gluttony, while pussy en-
viously bristled up at seeing the hen
whip the snake clean "out Of sight"
Mr.. Edison says the snake was
swallowed with great difficulty, and
he was amazed to see the hen accom-
plish the feat Of swallowing 50 large
thing. The spreading adder is very
poisonous, and it is wonderful that
the hen did not die. Beyond appear,
ing to be gorged and consequently
stupid for a short while, she appeared
to be in her usual good health, and
up to last accounts there are no little
orphan chickens at Mr.. Eidson's.

Government Authorities Discussing the
Sending nf Soldiers TO Hawaii


Sending IF Soldiers to Hawaii.
WASHINGTON. Feb. a0.-Anticipating
the ratification of the Hawaiian an
neXation treaty by both the United
States Senate and the provisional gov
eminent of Hawaii, the military and
naval authorities are discussing what
should be done for the preservation of
peace on the islands pending the es-
tablishment of permanent form Of
government. 1t is realized from the
heterogeneous character of the popu-
lation of the island and the general
tendency of the native element to rev
olutlonlze that peacefully to maintain
American sovereignty over the islands
there must be proper display of mil
itary from the time annexation be-
becomes an established fact.
In this connection the advisabilit OF
sending troops of the regular army to
the islands is being informally though
seriously discussed by many army Off
GERS. The navy people. as a rule. be-
ieve that the sailors and marines
should be utilized for this purpose. but
GeS are forced 10 ADMIT that by reason
OF the limited mum Der of naval vessels
at hand it might be advisa bic to send
several batteries of artillery from
California. TO remain at Honolulu
until some of the new vessels can be
sent from this coast. Under the per-
manent form of government to be es-
tablished by Legislation it is suggested
there should be q standing army organ
lied from the inha bitants of the islands.
A number of American officers. it has
been further suggested, should be de-
tailed to perfect the organization, and
when the United States has esta blished
the proposed coaling station in Port
Harbor there should be an American
garrison to defend the entrance to the
harbor.
