Gas.

AT the recent meeting Of the Frost
burg Gas and Electric Light company
it was decided to issue $4,000 of the
bonds of the company. bearing 6 per
cent. for improvement purposes. The
purchase of the Paul gas process and
plant, it is believed, introduces new
and profitable era in the history of the
company. Hence, the bonds are re =
garded as gilt-edged. The Paul gas.
in make and result, is now an assured
success. The process is simple in
operation, quick in effecting its work,
and thus far cheaper in cost than
making gas from coal. The gas burns
pure, soft, white light, and is free
from al disagreeable smell when used
for cooking. For running machinery
it is thoroughly efficient. In short, it
is the nearest approach in cheapness
and utility yet made to natural gas.
The JOURNAL predicts success for the
company not hitherto achieved, and
hopes to see the Messls. Paul enjoy
the fruits of a longtime investment of
labor aud money in developing their
discoveries,

A SNAKE cHARMER.s STORY.

He Tells Interesting Incidents of His
 Strange and Dangerous Business.
 In wild valley at the foot of g rocky and precipitous mountain near the little hamlet of Long Eddy, in Sullivan county, is the homesof John c. iGeer, whose business is the charming of rattlesnalses. This eccentric indi- R.,,ual who lives in this isolated spot country as s.the rattlesnalxe man Though over sixty years of age he is active almost as he was twenty years ago, and for mountaineer, born and reared in that untutored country, here people of any kind are scarce. ne possesses rare intelligence.
 A better insight into his strange and dangerous business cannot be given than by the following story, told by himself: 'sI have been engaged in catching rattlers at the foot of this mountain for many years. Some sea- sons l get from two hundred to three hundred of them. many of which tame and ship alive to museums in New York and other cities. I kill a good many and extract the oil, for which find a ready sale at from two dollars to five dollars an ounce. The skins are worth from one dollar to five dollars each, according to their size and condition.
 'The mountain back of my house is fairly alive with rattlesnakes; thou sands of them live there in their lairs in the crevices of the rocks. One day last year I started out below my house, and in two hours and half caught twenty-two rattlers and black snake. I catch the snakes with hook or snare and put them into bag in which I bring them home. Do they ever bite me? We'll, sometimes, but very seldom, as know what a rattlesnake's bite is, and am always very careful how I handle them. Six or seven times they have been too smart for me, and have sunk their fangs into my hands, but l am alive yet, for l have an infallible cure for the poison. The bites always leave scar, though, as you will see by the back of my hand"
 This hand has a number of small, deep scars, which look like very pro- nounced pockmark, and these, the s'rattlesnake man. declares, are the results of the bites he has received. The '.infallible" cure which MT. Greer used is compounded by himself. Ger tain it is that he has been called upon many times to save people who have been struck by the poison-laden fangs of rattlesnakes, and his remedy has never failed to cure.
 No less weird and interesting than the man is his rude log-house, which is always the home of a dozen to thirty or more of the venomous reptiles These are kept in boxes, and many of them are very tame, actually seeming to be very fond of their master. It does not take the old man long to sub due these wild creatures, and he often has them crawling about the floor while he smokes his pipe and medi- tates. He is fond of having visitors come to see his pets, though few per sons can be persuaded to enter his den of rattlers and black snakes This amuses the old man, as long associa- tion has taken away every vestige of fear of having them harm him, and he thinks no more of handling the rep tiles than if they were playful kittens.

 A delegation of Snake Indians visited the red men on the Umatilla Reserva- ton during the holidays. When they started for home Young Chief delivered the following eloquent farewell address to his visitors:
 I've part tonight Not as before. For once hate was between us Now there is love. Once war; now peace. Once we swung the tomahawk and aimed the deadly rife at each other hearts. Now the pipe of peace we smoke to show that the past is past and buried. In other ways it is diff ferent. There was q time when some of us Lay in ambush against the whites. But we have all put aside the. imple, 5euts of war and cultivate the arts o1 peace. Our fathers swore eternal ven eeence on the palefaces- This was be- eap1e Qf tho tradition handed uz ps
