GOVERNOR STONE PROTESTS.

JEFF ERsoN CITY. No., July 6-Governor
Stone is in very bad humor over what he
terms the impertinsnt Interference of the
United States authorities in local affairs
in regard TO the strike of railway employees.
He says Missouri can protect property and
preserve peace without assistance from
Washington. Unquestionably the United
States government has right to prevent
any interference with the possession or
transportation of mails, he says. bat the
practice of making interference with
mails and interstate commerce the occa-
sion for setting aside state authorities
without giving them an opportunity TO
assert themselves, is an outrage. He gives
it as his opinion thst these irresponsible
deputies will do more to exasperate and
provoke riots and conflicts than anything
else. The governor has addressed TO
President Cleveland a very earnest pro-
test against what he he terms an arbitrary
aud unnecessary misuse of federal author
ity in this state.

FISHING WITH A BLACKSNAKE.

The Reptile Was a Born Angler and
Showed Himself Fond of the Sport
Here is a snake story from Bechu-
analand paper, says the Rangoon
Times, which we do not remember
having seen before: A Barberton man
who goes to church regularly was one
day walking along the banks of Con-
cession Greek eating a sandwich, and
on account of the usual disparity be-
tween meat and bread, he threw the
redundant piece into the water. I'm
mediately a swarm of yellow fish
dubbed round it fighting for the
mouthful. The man searched his peck
cts for fishing tackle, but all in vain,
and he was just beginning to die of
despair when his eyes lighted on q
big blackSnake. At chat moment he
remembered how his father used to
tell him that blacksnakes were very
expert in catching fish. He, therefore,
grabbed the reptile by the tail, car
ried it to the river. and held it over
the struggling fish. The snake proved
itself a born angler, and in the course
of an hour the man had captured forty
fine fish. A few days later, as he was
walking in the same place he felt
something rubbing against his leg,
and, looking down, he saw his friend,
the blacksnake, eager for more sport.

Bicycling? Awful Costume.
There does not seem to be any par
ticular reason why women should not
wear knickerbockers and stockings
when bicycling. since they have for
many years worn the tightest of
bathing costumes, including stockings,
knee breeches and sleeveless bodices,
making a liberal exposure Of the neck
in the surf The clinging nature of
the material of which the bathing
costumes are made reveals every line
of the figure of the Wearer. Yet the
women never seem to feel any sense
of outraged modesty when attired in
this fashion. They battle with men,
loll about the beaches and submit to
the closest kind Of scrutiny without
any hesitation The bicycle dresses
which have recently been adopted are
infinitely more modest than the bath
ing costumes. and as the women are
moving most Of the time when in sight
Of the public, and not lolling about
for the inspection Of every one. as

opinion is that the boomers which
the bicycle women have adopted, and
which are seen in the park occasion

A rather stout-looking woman

wearing heavy boomers made of the
material which men occasionally use
for covert coats. They were baggy
and voluminous, and were fastened by

LOOKING FOR OIL AND GAS.
Haphazard Search Only Involves Vain
Labor and Expense.

1t is still interesting and often as
tonishing to notice the outlay and
often the utter lack Of proper guild
ance that men display in prosecuting
the search for oil and natural gas,
says a writer in the Pittsburg Dis
patch. 1t seems incredible that the
plain suggestions that reliable oil
maps now furnish are not more gen.

Of the knowledge in locating the seat
Of operations when search Is to be
made for the one or the other Of these
