BITTEN BY A RATHER.
Chicago Dime Museum Snake Charmef
Dying in Hospital.

Dying in u Hospital.
CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Walter Ralston.
known as ''Rattlesnake" Ralston,
snake charmer. is in the county hos.
pital dying from the effects Of bite
by a rattlesnake. Ralston has been
giving exhibitions in dime museum
and to-day was to try new lot of rat.
tlesnakes which had just been brought
from Florida, and which it had been
wagered by the man who brought them
that he could not handle. Ralson
went into the cellar to get the snakes,
when one of them slipped out of the
box and caught him on the hand. lie
flooded himself with whisky, but his
arm in a few moments was awfully
swollen, and the physicians in the hos
pital say he cannot live. Shortly af-
ter Ralston was bitten the report got
out that all the snakes had escaped
from the box. and there was frantic
rush for the doors. A lively crush en-
sued, and several people were bruised
in the struggle for the open air. None
were seriously injured, however.

BIG COTTON GOODS SALE.
A Million and Half OF Amositeag Prod

A Million and Half OF Amoskeag Prod
ucts at Auction.
New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Journal OF
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin an
nounces: Zone of the most important
sales of cotton goods that has been
made for many years will be held next
week in this city, when q well-known
auction house will offer 81, 500, 900 worth
of Amoskeag products. The transac-
ton is especially important in the pres
emit condition of business as showing
the confidence of manufacturers in the
condition of the market. 1t is cour.
ageous step and is likely to bring out
the fact that the buyers are prepared
to operate as soon as they find that
holders have confidence in the situation.
There is good reason to expect that the
sale will restore tone to the dry goods
trade and start again the machinery Of
this important branch of business

That Point of Departure.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Sept 1S-The scene
at Orlando to-day defies all descrip-
ton. From 5000 to 5000 people are
gathered In and around that usually
quiet village, sweltering in q tropic
sun and covered with coating of dust.
With tents and white-covered wagons
covering the ground thickly in every
direction; with a hurrying to and fro,
the blue-coated sentries pacing back and
forth in front of the hospital tents
that are used for booths; with the long
lines of men reaching far out in the
prairie; with the shouting OF the water
peddler and the great cloud of dust
hanging over everything and at times
almost completely obscuring the sun,
the whole scene reminds one more OF a
battlefield than anything else, and the
many old veterans upon the ground are
carried back to the scenes Of the war.

BohemIa's Big Garnet Industry.

Among stones used for personal adorn-
ment the garnet is not the most insig-
nificant. The various stones of this
class are found in many countries; In
dia, Asia, Greenland, Australia, Amer
ica have kinship in garnet production.
In the United States garnets are found
in Arizona, and that maiden state may
yet show to the world that she has vast
wealth in her crude jewel box. The
finest and most beautiful garnets to be
found come from Bohemia, in which
country there are engaged in what may
be called the garnet industry, about
three thousand cutters; in all, includ-
ing garnet hunters, merchants and
workmen, there are nearly ten thou
sand persons engaged in handling this
stone Mining for garnets is not a
complicated nor expensive work and
the preparation of the stone does not
require unusual skill. The technical
school of Bohemia prepares boys at an
early age to work in this department
of skilled effort, and youths of fifteen
years of age are among the successful
laborers who fit the garnet for market
The garnet arrays itself in many glories
such as the shades of violet, yellow,
blue, green and black-but the finest
manifestation of the garnet glory is
that of the deep red, having its face
burning with ceaseless fire, as if bear
ing within consciousness which bushes
at the gaze of the admirer.-St Louis

ENFORCING THE oEARY LAW.
Attorney-Gcneral Olney Gives the Law on
| Deportation.

Attorney-G General Olney Gives the Law on
Deportation.
WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-The first au-
thoritative statement issued by the Off
Gals of the government in regard to
the Geary Chinese exclusion act since
the recent agitation concerning its en-
forcement or non-enforcement, was
made by Attorney-General Olney yes
terday. 1t is as follows:
The statement that any action has been ro-
Gently taken by the president or secretary Of
state TO the non enforcement Of the sixth sec
ton Of the so-called Geary act Is without
foundation. All that has been done since the
original instructions given concurrently to
revenue Officers and TO marshnls and deputies
by the secretary of the treasury and the
department OF justice has been done
by the department It having been
held by Judge Ross, OF California, that
warrants could issue for violation OF
OF said sixth section on tho complaint Of pri.
vatc individual. and complaints having been In
fact made and warrants issued In various In
stances, marshals and their deputies have been
instructed that the warrant issued by the court
must be served and that any orders for deporta.
ton subsequently made in such cases must be
put into execution to the extent of any funds
available for that purpose. Deportations have
not actually been made, however, for this reason:
In all cases where warrants issued, as stated.
writs OF habeas corpus have been applied for and
being Denied appeals have been taken from
such denial In that state OF things rule thir-
ty-two of the United States supreme court,
expressly authorized by statute, forbids any
change OF custody pending the appeal The
language Is: Pending On appeal from the

UNHAPPY CHINAMEN.

Deportation Of tho First Five of the On
registered.
SAN Francisco, Sept 1.-The first
Cinnamon to have their sentence Of de-
portation under the Geary registration
act executed arrived in San Francisco
from Los Angeles Saturday and are
now confined In the county Jail, where
they will be detained until Tuesday.
when they will be sent back to the
celestial kingdom on the steamer China.
There are FIVE Chinese in the batch and
they came here in charge Of United
States Marshal Gard, who will see them
on board the steamer and will not leave
them until he has the captains receipt
for them.
The Chinese are all laborers and were
arrested on warrants issued from the
United States court in Los Angeles.
They were taken befors Judge Ross and
by him sentenced to be deported, as
they had not complied with the law re-
'quiring Chinese in the United States to
be registered.
News that these Chinese had arrived
in the city and would be placed on the
steamer leaving Tuesday created sem
sation all through Chinatown here.
The matter was the only subject Of con-
versation among the Chinese of all
classes last night.
The presidents Of the Six Companies
held q conference at the consul-gen-
erals Office and number of dispatches
passed between them and the Chinese
legation ut Washington. Those who
pretend to know say that the Chinese
are preparing petition to send to
President Cleveland. The document
will place the blame for Chinese not
registering heretofore upon the faith
they gave their American legal adj
visers, who assured them that the
Geary law could not stand. 1t will
probably pray for an extension of time
in which to allow them to register.
In view Of the recent developments,
the Chinese question is creating much
public interest here, though there seems
no probability of any violence among
classes who are most hostile to the
Chinese.
A dispatch from Tulare announces
that an attack has been made upon
Chinese vegetable peddlers there.
A dispatch from San Bernardino
states that 800 Chinese cooks, walters
and other laborers quit work this
morning by order of the Six Companies.
The Southern hotel was forced to close
for lack of help. The Chinese say
they will return to China.

NEW CODE OF PENSION RULES.
Secretary Smiths Orders Regarding the
Matter of Appeals.

Matter of Appeals
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-For the pur-
pose of arriving at more certain and
uniform practice in the pension office
and the department of the interior in
the matter of appeals in pension
cases, Secretary Smith has promul-
gated new code of rules for the gov
eminent OF the department and guild
ance of applicants and their attorneys.
Very loose methods, it is said, have
hitherto prevailed, and almost any pa
per fled by claimant who considered
himself aggrieved by the action of the
pension Office, has been considered and
treated as an appeal
This practice had tendency to rem
der the board of pension appeals u
mere board of general review for the
work of the pension Office, and to oc-
eupy the time and attention of the de-
partment with the utterly useless and
irrevelant matters.
No special or technical forms are re-
CURED for an appeal by the rules, but
applicants would be required to file
with the secretary concise and plain
statement of the errors of law consti-
tuting the ground of the appeal. New
and material evidence, which has been
filed subsequent to the action or order
of the pension office, from which the
appeal is taken, will not be considered
by the secretary until the same
has been passed upon by the
pension office. No appeal taken on be-
half of claimant by and through a
suspended or barred attorney will be
entertained unless refundment as re-
quired shall have been made. No
claim, the rejection whereof has been
affirmed by the secretary on appeal,
will be reopened without his approval.
