Lucy Larcom, the poetess, died in
Boston on the 18th OF April, after an ILL
ness of many weeks. Miss Larcom
wrote many patriotic verses during the
civil war, and her work afterwards dealt
largely with the life she had known in
the cotton mills, where she had worked
in early childhood. Within the last two
years An Unseen Friend, As 1t Is in
Heaven, and At The Beautiful Gate,
have met with much recognition from
my exacting critics.
Bret Harte has collected another
volume containing Sally Dows, q Geor-
gia story, and three other stories which
relate to California life, all of which are
told in Mr.. Harte's characteristic style.
Liberty and Life, by E P. Powell, is
volume of clear, simple, eloquent dis
courses explaining the changes in re-
ligious thought that are made necessary
by the conclusions OF modern science.
The strongest work of fiction yet pro-
duced by Mary Cholmondeley, author of
The Danvers Jewel. is, in the opinion OF
competent critics, Diana Tempest, which
is to appear in Appleton's Town and
Country Library.

SAN PAsQUAL SNAKES.

A San Diego Supervisor Tells About
Them.
When Supervisor Judson returned
from his San Pasqual ranch few days
ago according the San Diego Union,
he brought with him q new snake
story. He says he has working on his
ranch boy named Don Moore. While
Don was out in the fields he saw snake
of the red racer variety. The red racer,
Judson explains, is just like the blue
racer of the east except that it is red. 1t
is harmless SO far as man is concerned
and has no poison in it's fangs.
Don, however, was down on snakes,
and lost no time in killing the red racer.
But in killing the reptile he observed
some peculiarities. 1t was big in places
and when the racer was dead the big
places continued to move and agitate.
Don hit the racer again with sharp
club, and the blow cut the snake in two.
Then Don was astonished, for from the
racers belly, there crawled live and
active rattlesnake. There was no doubt
about the latter, for it had the appear
ance, disposition and button of the rat
tleenake. 1t was about one foot long.
Don then killed it.
Judson further explains that the red
racer, like the blue racer, is of the boa
constructor variety. Its habit is to
strangle its prey within it's powerful
folds and then swallow it. In this man
ner the racer destroys rattlesnakes.
The racer is therefore verv handy
snake, and Judson has directed Don not
to kill any more Of them on his ranch.

E hool girl in Sheffield, England, it was
her MT to trip blithely to and from the

and lunch basket tied to her ankles.
Tripping up and down stairs on her
hands is an act which Miss Bertoldi per-
forms with as much ease and grace as
the average woman does in the natural
way. She sscends backwards and then
comes down three steps at jump with
out losing her balance or making noise.
Standing on her chin and the jaw bal
ancing trick she considers mere trifles.
In doing the latter act she mounts a
pedestal which has revolving steel rod
at the top. The rod is about a foot high
and is fitted with mouthpiece. This
che takes in her teeth, raises her body
in the air, and then doubles over till
the small Of her back settles on top Of
her head. While in this position an at
tendant turns a crank and the girl spins

The Senators Couldn't Place Their Hits So

Count Antonio Mullane was as wild an I'M
tanned colt Yesterday afternoon. but he was
given such excellent support that when the
ball was hit nothing gained by it. some
agile fielder promptly putting the runner out.
In tine last two innings thirteen men went to
bat, of whom four reached first on balls, one on
being hit and one on an error. and yet only two
runs we're scored Only one hit was made. and
that was at such time that it did not avail in
run getting. OF the five runs made by the local
team every one was made by men reaching first
on balls This is terrible handicap to a
nine. and only the weakest kind Of
hitting and the cleanest OF fielding
could prevent victory over il. Esper,
who pitched creditable game for the Senators,
sent Ave to first balls and two Of them scored.
The fielding on both sides was brilliant at times.
Twice we're men caught on attempting to score
on long drives to the outfield by prompt hand

Comment on the Cherokee Bonds.


The Cherokee bonds are Sc, 900, 900 in value.
They bear per cent interest They run to
1899. They are guaranteed by the government.
With this guarantee behind them the bonds are
supposed to be ''better than gold;'' that is,
they are a safe investment. Their sale has
been advertised by the government. Yester-
day was the day set for opening the bids at the
Treasury Department. Not one bid was re-
ceived. There was a rumor Of private bid at
the National Hotel last night. 1t was just
about bond face value. The re fusal Of eastern
capitalists to buy bonds guaranteed by the
government that bear 4 per cent interest and
have ten years to run causes comment.
One cause assigned for failure to take the
bonds Is that they are bonds given to Indians,
and that the government has 80 often broken
faith with the Indian nation that its guarantee
on a Cherokee bond is not regarded as Of the
same value as on any other Obligation.

Burning of a Female College.

A special from Murfreesboro, n c.. says:
The Wesleyan Female College at this place has
been destroyed by fire. Prof. r. P. Troy, with
the assistance of the citizens and visitors has
succeeded in saving all the young ladies without
the slightest injury. Much of the private
property of the students and teachers is lost
All OF the library and apparatus is a total loss.
The magnificent building insured for only
$4,000. The commencement exercises were to
take place next week. President Brewer of the
Baptist College has rendered the use of his
college for the commencement of the Wesleyan.
1t is probable the young ladies will return to
their homes. The closing exercises of the Bap-
fist College were in progress when the fire
broke out. and suspended at once. The build
ing Of the Wesleyan College was burned once
before in 1877.
