Did the A. p. A. have a finger in the
framing of the new constitution of New
York that is to be voted upon in Novem-
her? Father Doyle of New York city
calls attention to the fact that one Of the
new amendments contains an educational
clause by which the teaching of any de-
nominational te1fet or doctrine renders
HE to examination or inspection, and the
loss of any proportion of the public
school funds it may have previously en-,
joyed. This, the priest says is aimed at
the Catholic church, and he condemns it
because it directly antagonizes what is
the vital principles of our civic life, the
incompetency of the state in religious
matters; that congress shall make no laws
respecting the establishment of religion
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. "
1t is understood that Senator-elect BOYD
of Lumpkin county Will take up the fight
against the convict lease system imme-
diately upon the assembling of the legis-
lature. He was a member of the legisla-
ture a number Of years ago, and at that
time was strongly opposed to the system.
He favors putting portion of the convicts
on farm and making them raise food for
The whole gang, and putting the other
convicts TO work upon the public roads.
The sentiment in favor of road building
with convict labor has spread through
cut the state.

cold Dust and Hair Qrease.


There is a very large, but always very
proper, even dignifed barroom in Union
square which, by some unexplained pro-
cess of selection has for years been the
refreshment place of numerous old time
New York boys" says the New York
Sun. That is, they were boys in the days
of the pre-eminence of the old sixth and
eighth wards. They are gray-haired or
bald. and too ample of girth to run wild

generally ruddy-faced and gray-mOus-
taChed, dignified of carriage, and slow of
speech. as if, since the glory of the old
days has departed, there is too little to be
talked about in these degenerate days to
require hasty speech for the telling.
Well such an old boy sat polished
mahogany table in that barroom with two
companions of the same type watching
the barkeepers mix and serve drinks and
then ring up printed checks for the
amounts due.
Those barkeepers don't have the same
chance for a rake-off we had in California

The Snake Editors Latest.


snake editor In his issue of the current
Week he allows space for a remarkable
lale from SherrOdsVille, mining town of
loo inhabitants, where the brand of
whisky IN general is said TO be particU-
larry bad According to the Sherrods-
vile writer Fred Manghiman, of that vi
entity, mas a farm that is a favorite
haunt OF reptiles. While men were work
ing in field on Monday they heard
noise like that made by a goose, and,
looking around, discovered a sight that
look away their breath. Then they took
to their heels. Mastering up courage and
hunting party they returned to attack
the cause of their fright, There were two
guns IN the crowd. Both gunners ap-
preached and leveled their pieces at the
huge reptile as he lay basking in the sun.
They took aim for his head and fired, and
for the next five minutes the air was fun
OF brush, weeds. and snake. He lashed
his enormous tail d such a terrific speed
that he cut off bushes and small saplings
almost as large as a mans wrist; then
he became quiet and commenced to crawl
away. They followed him by the trail of
blood he left on the ground and leaves,
and after he had crawled for 800 yards he
came TO a large indentation made by high
waters and he craWled down into the
large washOut-sOme 4 feet deep and I
feet in diamete~-vvhich he filled His
head was protrC~.ns at the top when the
men, with the guns, took careful aim and
fired. After four shots they advanced to
the snake, which they found dead. He
was of the beautiful boa constructor fami-
ly. After several unsuccessful attempts
to pull him out of the hole by a large
team of mules, a team of oxen were also
hitched on, and by the combined efforts
OF oxen and mules, he was finally landed
on terra firma. When Strengthened out
to his full length, he was found to be
just 81 feet long. There was no way by
which his exact weight could be ascer-
tanned. but by the hundreds who viewed
him his weight was placed anywhere
from 2,300 to 1920 pounds. The correspon-
dent, who is a strict temperance man,
would place his weight at about 1900
pounds. careful examination of his
head revealed five holes through it. made
ruffied up and showed very plainly where
the bullets of the small rifle struck the
snake, but which failed to produce other
than a slight mark, not sufficient to Kill.

fruitful subject Of inquiry There was deficit OF

Influenced this result to some extent; but the COM
