New York's Problem.

While the republican papers of New
York are trying by all the means in their
power 10 delay action on the tariff bill
the thinking men of the city are pointing
out the necessity for prompt action on the
bill. Mr. Seth Low, president of Column
bia college, in q letter written last Tues
day to the mayor of the city. giving the
census of the unemployed within the
city's limits, says The city and
the citizens are face to face with a
problem OF the first magnitude, and I
cannot imagine more impressive argu-
ment in favor of prompt action upon the
tariff, which shall be decisive in one
direction or the other in order that the
element of uncertainty may be removed
from the pathway of a business revival.
In the meantime, whatever work can be
given should be given by both the city
and by private persons, and the strong
must continue generously and freely to
help the weak"
The census shows that over zoe. 900 per
sons in the city are suffering in some way
for lack of employment. There are 81, 81
families that are actually in need of assis-
lance. OF the total number out of work
1892 are males, and l4GSS are females.
No wonder that Mr.. Low says the city
is face to face with problem of the first
magnitude. Unless business revives
soon there win be serious times in New
Yotk. 1t will not be possible for the
thousands in actual need now to hold out
much longer against the pressure ofwant.
Unless employment is furnished. means
Will have to be provided for supplying
food to many thousands of people. And
there may be exhibitions of lawlessness.
The lawless element in New York is large,
and there are numbers there who would
like TO see riOtnus demonstrations

PAT EN- rs
Notice to inventors.

There was never a time in the his
tory of our country when the de-
mand for inventions and improve
ment in the arts and sciences gen
orally was so great as now. The
conveniences of mankind in the
factory and Workshop, the house
hold. on the farm and in official
life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and nipple
ments of each in order to save labor,
time and expense. The political
change in the administration of
government does not effect the pro-
gress of the American inventor,
who being on the alert, and ready
to perceive the existing deficiencies,
does not permit the affairs Of gov
eminent to deter him from quickly
conceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great
care cannot be exercised in choos-
ing a competent and skilled attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and des-
troyed in innumerable instances by
the employment of incompetent
counsel, and especially is this ad-
vice applicable to those who adopt
the "No patent, no pay" system.
Inventors who intrust their bus
mess to this class of attorneys do Sc
at eminent risk, as the breadth and
strength of the patent is never con-
sidered in view of quick endeavoi
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due.

Snake Roundup on Hominy Hills.

Snake Roundup on Hominy Hills.
The Philadelphia Times describes with
On air of veracity as unique perform
ance as can be witnessed in any country
of civilization. 1t is the so called
''snake roundup" of the huckleberry
pickers in the Hominy hills, New Jersey.
1t is well known that huckleberry bushes
and snakes thrive together. When,
therefore, huckleberries are in their
prime, snakes are in their prime, too,
some of them venomous snakes. The
roundup" is for the purpose of driving
them into an open space and killing
them with dogs, guns or by hand. One
girl in the Hominy hills, known as big
Sallie Morgan, catches a serpent by the
tail and cracks it like whip lash, snap
ping its head off.
An open space is selected in the
huckleberry region. The leader of the
party climbs the highest tree near it.,
and from this vantage ground looks
down upon the snake hunters. Men,
boys, dogs and q few women station
themselves at four points within a radius
of a quarter of mile of the central space,
each separate party under leader who
directs their movements. There is a
medicine considered powerful for draw
ing serpents. The old experienced ones
call it snake oil. If snakes charm birds,
musk seems to charm snakes, and bot
tie Of liquid in which this is strong
ingredient is sprinkled plentifully on
the leaves and grass within the round
up limits.
There are calls or cries which announce
to the hunters that this or that species OF
serpent has been captured or started
The most famous dog ON Holniny hill;
is a cur named Niger that would
rather kill snake than eat mutton any
( day. Niger forms no small part of the
entertainment at the snake roundup
At the July hunt Niger killed one pine
snake nearly 6 feet long.
Whistling upon a fife or beating til
pan has also an arousing influence upor
a reptile, it has been found. Fife, til
pan, yelling and poking into snake hole
with long sticks bring the creature
out. The boys, dogs and men close il
upon them and drive them all togethe
to the central open space. Then tn
ring closes instantly around them AM
quickly dispatches them. At the Jul.
roundup 1913 reptiles were thus slain
This observance in the Hominy hills i
as interesting in its way as the Zun
snake dance.

When Home Rule Rules In Ireland.

When Home Rule Rules In Ireland.
Even if home rule does not pass the
house Of lords in the present parliament
it is bound to do so later. After the act
becomes law the relation of Ireland to
the British government will be substan-
TALLY that of one of the states of this
Union to the federal government. The
Irish will manage their local affairs in
their own private Dublin parliament,
but they will also be represented as well
in the parliament of Great Britain to the
number Of 80 members. At present they
have 1903 members there. Their number
will be reduced to correspond to the fall
ing off in Irish population.
Mr.. Gladstone's first idea-for the Irish
to hold seats in the national parliament,
but refrain from voting ON questions
that concerned England, Scotland and
Wales locally-aroused such storm of
opposition that it was abandoned. w.
I. Stead of The Review of Reviews espe-
cially threw all his weight against it
and declared that if this feature were
pressed it would wreck the whole bill.
Gladstone, not only the greatest states
man. but the best politician in the king
dom, veered with the current and inn
mediately proposed to strike out the
clause limiting the voting power of Irish
representatives. This gained for the
bill more friends than it lost, the clause
passed in its amended form, and when
home rule becomes law the so Irishmen
will vote on all questions in the i'm
perial parliament. Canada and Aus
traha have no members, voting or non
voting, in the British parliament.

For years great war in Europe has
been looked for. Nobody knew just
how or when it would begin, but the
world has been of opinion it would in
volve several of the great powers. Some
times it appeared as though it might be-
gin in Egypt on account of the British
assumptions there. Again tiny cloud
seemed to be rising in the Asiatic hori-
zon, just on the boundary line between
the Russian and British possessions. In
a region least expected, Siam, the war
cloud has at last appeared. If France
makes unjust demands on Siam, it will
certainly not be tolerated by the other
powers of Europe, jealous as they are of
any advancement or gain of one over
another. There is the possibility that
France, China, Russia and England may
Ice engaged in the row ON account of
Siam. If so, Europe will be shaken. At
any rate the Siam trouble comes oppor-
timely for France just now. 1t will re-
awaken the patriotism of all classes and
make hem forget their faction fights
and strengthen the republic. Perhaps
that was why the French government
made SO much Of the Siamese incident.

A HISTORIC DWARF.
zotof in the Court of Peter the Great C
 Russia.

ZOtOf in the Court of Peter the Great of Russia.
 About the time of the marriage oi the dwarf, the czar, in fit of after. dinner jollity. had conferred the title of count upon his former teacher. Re. | sides. little zotof received salary of about two thousand dollare. consid- erable sum for those days, and he had taken possession with much ceremony ] of a fine house in the Tartar quarter of St. Petersburg.
 Now it happened that Zotof feeling himself growing old, proposed one 1 evening, when the czar WAS in an es- pecially good humor, to retire to mon, Hstery. Instead of agreeing, Peter. to I the great astonishment of the old and 1 infrm dwarf, forbade his thinking of such thing, and ordered him to mar ry again.
 Zotof was much put out, but Peter's passion for shows was not one whit less. He chose as wife for his favorite buffoon an old lady, widow of man named Stremonkof. Prepal ations were begun in the autumn of l7l2. and in the fantastic procession the Empress Catherine and the czar's daughters. Martha and Prascovia, and even some of the ambassadors were obliged to take part,
 Four stammering old men gave out the invitations; infirm and tottering creatures were appointed to conduct the bride, and four of the fattest men in Russia served as runners. The musicians were seated in car led by bears, and as these novel steeds were always being prieked by the points of the steel lanees. their low growlings served as fitting accompaniment to the weird airs that arose from the chariot. The service at the cathedral was per formed by very old priest, who was half blind and deaf, and who wore spectacles The procession, the cere- mony, the nuptial-feast and the ing ling of wedding-bells were all of a piece in this strange diversion.
 Zotofs descendants were forbidden to bear the title of count so strangely acquired, until 1902, when a member of an illustrious and princely family with which one of them had intermarried, obtained permission from Emperor Alexander 1. to bear the title conferred upon the dwarf his ancestor Mary Shears Roberts. in St. Nicholas.

NoTWITHsTANDINa our esteemed contemporaries, the Press Eaqle and Commercial both carry the county Democratic ticket at the head of their editorial columns neither of the papers has ever contained one line calculated to aid and assist in the success of the ticket at the coming election The GoBme9eial is absolutely silent, but not 50 with the Pregs- Eagle. Every issue of that paper is full of matter calculated to throw a damper on Democratic ardor and have tendency to encourage the opposition We give our readers a sample of the support being given th , ticket by the. Press Eag7e In it's issue of the 7th in an editorial oi considerable length occurs the fol lowing remarkable assertion
 The Republican county convention met in this city yesterday, recon. mended the name of one Republican for election jude in each township in the county, and to deny them the right to this small representation and participation in the election would be pri1no facia evidence and a virtual admission of contemplated fraud
 This is m unjust and uncalled for stab at our Election Commissioners in advance of any action by them. The Press Eagie is the first to dis cover that the election machinery oi the State was framed for the bene. fit of parties Who ever heard be- fore this of a party in convention assembled namingjudges of election? If this was done by the recent Re publican convention, they hof only exceeded aud outraged all pfopriety but diseredited the memef Of the board belonging to their own party. We fail to hear any wall from the Press Eaale because the Democratic eonfereers on the tariff bill now pending in Congress fail to call in and consult the Republicans on the eommitte. There would be as much logic and common sense in the propo. sition for the Republicans in Con gress to be allowed to make tariff bill for the democratic majority as for the Republican party Of JefTer. son county to dictate, even in part, as to how the Election Commis. sioners should discharge their sworn duty We hope that the esteemed Pfess.
