which the owner claimed was taken from
a coat OF George Washington and which
had been handed down i'm the family
through three generations. The family 10
which IL belongs lives In this city on the

A Negro Superstition.

while was in Florida was gro

which illustrated a superstition that an
peared to be prevalent among the ne
groes, said a tourist. Zone day an ola
negro who had been out rabbit hunting
came home, bringing with him an i'm
mense rattlesnnke which no had killed
de exhibited hts trophy with pride TO a
crowd or tourists who were standing about
In front OF the hotel. The reptile measured
feet inches and had IL rattles and n
button. One Of tho guests offered the no.
gro vi for the rattles. The negro did not
seem to think that was enough for so
valuable trophy and said he would not
sell them for less than SO.
Just at that moment another old nooro
came upon the scene and upon hearing
what was going on said to the owner of
the snake, 'Doan yo' cut off dem rattles.
Wharfo' won't l cut off dem rattles
Of i kin get 81 for ump demanded the
other
Doan' yo' know dat ef yo' cut off dem

EASTERN LEAGUE.
Providence Walked ON Wilkes barre
from Head 20 Foot.

Providence put Wilkesbarre out Of the
game in the second inning yesterday by
making six runs on consecutive hits,
clipping baserunning and disregard for
any slumbering baseball talent the
visitors possessed. The lead was
too much for the Coal Heavers
and the only interest the play had was the
possibilities in the way OF brilliant play
at intervals by the Grays. the big lead
put the Grays on Easy street and they de-
voted their attention TO making Me-
Laughlin hate himself and wondering.how
he ever thought he was n pitcher. The
league leaders pounded him for hits when
they wanted TO until 16 were on the card.
Rudderham was fairly easy, and the
the visitors made 10 hits, but they were
too scattered for run getting. Providence

Ing for whack at Boston. Score:
