Snake Stories.

The biggest snake yet seen in Western
Penna'a. this season, lives near Coraopolls,
Allegheny Co. A few days ago coal
digger bearing the old and reliable name
of Thompson was crossing cornheld on
the A. p Clever farm in the McCurdy dis
trict. The Clever farm, by the way, IL
known to all oil man at least as aremarka-
BILE productive farm.
Mr. Thompson saw an object which he at
first believed to be leg. Going nearer,
however, he noticed sheen reflected by
the rays of the midday sun which did not
accord with his ideas of logs. Thomson
then picked up "dornick" as he tersely
expressed it, and threw it at the apparent
ly inanimate object.
To quote Thompson: "The darned thing
opened its mouth, took a long breath,
winked both eyes in sleepy sort ofa way,
and started toward me. For a moment, a
short one at that, l was paralyzed, as some
people say, and then | tried to get off the
earth. The only thing in the neighbor-
hood better than a balloon ascension, under
the circumstances, was tram car which
stood at the upper end of the track, and
knew it was all down hill to Beaver Roads,
on the Montour Railroad, three miles
away.
threw a big stone at the approaching G
monster which didn't seem to please him.
Then jumped on the tram car, gave it a
shove and started down hill. But that
confounded snake was mad. He followed
me over those rock-ribbed ties for q mile
and half, and several times during that
hair-raising ride it was nip and tuck to see
which of US would make the next tie first.
The car in some places left the rail on one
side, and when l was going around curve,
but if that snake had not lost few feet OF
his tail when youth he would certainly
have captured me. He was at least sixteen
feet long and as vicious as an Indian on
the warpath when awakened"

ALL nations should use silver in ratio
which will insure its parity in gold. But
there is no reason why the people should
be taxed for piling silver in the Treas
ury, which is not to be used for money, OF
that this country should again shorten the
yardstiok by making itself the receptacle
for all the worlds st ock of silver.

The Situation at Bangkok.

A Dispatch sent from Bangkok late Mon
day night said that Admiral Human, now
commanding squadron of 13 ships had
Just given notice that fresh blockade
would begin Wednesday. he had had the
temerity to direct the British warships
Pallas and Surprise to move outside the
blockade.
Minister Pavie, who it was reported
from Paris had been ordered to return to
Bangkok, had gone to Saigon. 1t was
learned from the Siamese leatigon IN PARIS
that France has demanded temporary pos
session of the port Of Chataboon, near
Bangkok, as an additional guarantee of the
fulfillment of all demands.
No reply has yet been made to TINS last
condition England, in view of the French
bad faith last week in declaring blockade
without notifying the powers, is naturally
suspicious Of the present situation. IL is
feared that the French naval force VIII
commit fresh outrages which France Will
disavow in one breath while she compH-
ments the perpetrators in the next.
The French explanation of Mondays
events will probably be that the Govern
ment's latest orders had not reached the
French Admiral. 1t is significant on this
point that press message filed at Bang
kok at 10 reached London at 9, the differ
ence in time being six hours. The French
promise not to interfere with British com
merce was given 60 hours previously.
These uncertainties led Lord Roseoery
to postpoue the statement he intended to
make to Parliment, and he is again devot-
ing himself to the situation with the ut
most vigilence. Assurance that the fullest
recognition would be given to British
rights in the disputed territory above the
eighteenth parallel was received from
France in answer to Dufferin's protest
against French occupation. 1t was believ-
ed by the French Government that TINS
assured peaceful solution OF the difhcuit!'
This confidence is no longer felt.
INQUIRIES at the British Admiralty
brought the response from the official IN
charge that confirmation had been receiV-
ed from Bangkok of the report that the
French Admiral had given notice OF fresh
blockade tc begin Wednesday. 1t was
added that ''there is no question of British
gunboats leaving Bangkok" in respose to
French or any other demand.

Tunnau Siam aare nn to France all she

THOUGH Siam gave up to France all she
asked for, France is not yet satisfied and
according to the latest reports, has order
ed the blockade of Bangkok.
France will probably nag away at Siam
until England and China interfere, then
Russia will step in as an ally of France,
and all Europe become embroiled in war
that will he rough on Europe but good
thing financially for the United States.

Reaping The Whirlwind.

Colorado is Just now undergoing some
experience W hich enforces the necessity oil
putting men in high places with sense
enoueh not to talk unless they have some
thing to say that ought to be SAID. ooio,-
ado Senators and Congressman talked loud
" against any legislation by Congress 10
stop the silver folly. This created dlstrusI
in financial circles outside of Colorado ana
doubts as to the soundness of the financial
institutions of the state by their own de-
positors, and the leading banks OF Colorado
went down with crash. Governor Walle
in a public speech, advocated wading IN
blood 10 the brides of the horses, and ID
600 of the citizens of Denver engage IN a
lvnching so brutal in every detail as to
eclipse the most revolving lynchings OF
the South.
The credit of a sovereign state is wreck
ed and its fair fame indelibly stained be-
cause those who should have been its WIS
est and most sensible citizens turn out 10
be blatant demagogues, incorporate In
language and action at time when every
word spoken by men in authority should
be carefully considered and every act OF
q nature to allay and not infame pubic
passion. 1t is not to be wondered at that
the leading citizens of Denver are alarme u
at the storm that has been raised by pub
lie utterances that should never have been
made and are appealing to the civil and
L.
military authorities of State and nation to
protect them and their property from
threatened mob violence.
The end of lawlessness directly melted
by the lawless utterances of those charged
with the making and administration OF law
has not yet come in Colorado but enough
has been done to serve as lasting lesson
to the business men and citizens OF that
State on the necessity of filling high offi-
cial places with men sensible enough TO
keep their mouths shut when silence IS
best, and to speak wisely when speech Is
required. The foolish rawlings OF men ike
Governor Waite can do more injury to the
credit, good name and prosperity of state
than can be remedied by all its wise men
in a eeueration.-PhiPa. Times.
Mr.. HARRITY's methods of distributing
public place and patrona4e in this state to
his adherents, to the exclusion of other
equally hungry Democrats, has proven so
obnoxious to Mr.. Perry D. Clark, prom
inent lawyer and Democrat OF Warren, a
member of the State Democratic executive
committee and division chairman of the
Fourth Division, comprising Mercer, Law
renee, Venango, Crawford, Warren, Erie,
Forest and Mexican counties, that he has
rendered his resignation to Chairman
Wright, of the Democratic State commit
tee. Accompanying his resignation is
vigorous protest, that "Hon. VIM. f. Har-
rity is building up a machine in the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania that is de-
priving the Democratic voters of this State
of the customary privilege of selecting
their own local federal officials and the
power of controlling the actions of their
party and is substituting 'one-man-power'
for the rule OF the people,
Mr. Harrity's machine will continue to
grind, however, despite this protest and
resignation, without the slip of belt or
the missing of cog.-Er.
