AN ENGLISH SNAKE STORY.
The Weird Tale Of the Terrible Dragon OF
SOckburn Downs.

Tho Weird Tale Of the Terrible Dragon OF
Sockburn Downs.
In the old English "chop" book and
folklore stories the Yorkshire dragon
is always referred to as the Hampton
Worm," the word "worm' meaning
snake or dragon; hampton being the
name of the man who finally succeeded
in Staying the hideous creature. An
other old-time English myth, scarcely
less popular than that of the hampton
worm, is that of the dragon of Sock
burn Downs" The name of the man
who slew the Sockburn nightmare ID
still preserved, and is that Of one Of
the best known 'North Country" fami-
lies. His tomb is still to be seen in the
ruins of the church at Sookburn, where
also he lay in efAgy with rude sculp-
ture Of the dragon at his feet. When
the old church had crumbled to an un-
recognizable mass of stone and mortar,
the efRgies of the hero and the worn"
were removed to Sockburn hall.
Among the other relics preserved at
this hall may be seen the identical
fslchion or sword with which the mon
ster was slain. Near by, almost in
sight Of this miniature museum of REL
les, is q gigantic bowlder, lying in the
midst Of worn Field" Here, the
legend says, the creature attempted to
hide itself on the day when it was pur-
sued and vsnquished by tho hero Of
Sockburn Downs, -

ONE OF LlFE's MYSTERIES,

Why Some People Pass Empty Car Seats
and Crowd Those Partially Occupied.
''There is one thing that has always
been more or less of q mystery to me"
said traveller to q writer for the New
York Sun, land that is the motive that
prompts some passengers in car in
which there are entirely vacant seats
to take seat with somebody. In some
cases the reason for this is simple
enough; it may be that the person
takes the first seat he comes to and is
satisfied; it may be that the vacant
entire seats are at the other end Of tho
car and not seen at casual glance;
sometimes a person unaccustomed to
travel rather timidly takes the first
seat at hand; but the person that I
have in mind is the one who either de-
liberately, or with what one might call
deliberate thoughtlessness, takes q
seat with somebody when there are
vacant entire seats in plain sight. 1
have seen, for instance, man sitting
by window, alone in a seat, in car
in which there was plenty of room,
reading Knowing that there was
plenty of room he had perhaps sort Of
preempted that seat, and was making
himself comfortable in it, and was
thinking of nothing but his reading.
Along comes a rather stout lady, who,
though there is more room elsewhere,
for some to me utterly Incompetent
sible reason, decides that she wants
to sit in that particular seat. She
moves silently. She halts in the aisle
at the end of the seat, and slowly
moves in so that she can sit down.
She says nothing to the man. She
does not even look at him; she has not
looked at him since the moment that
she decided to take that seat, and he is
as yet unconscious of her presence.
Looking straight ahead with great
calmness, she sits down deliberately.
Then the man looks around with
panied sort of look. He moves closer
to the window and goes on reading,
but he won't regain his inward COM
posure for an hour. Now why the
lady should have taken that particular
seat is one of the things that don't
understand"

FISHES ON THE MARCH.
Peculiar Varieties That Travel Across tho
Land,

Peculiar Varieties That Travel Across tho
Land.
Travellers in South America are some-
times RECALLED with wonderful stories
about the overland trips of certain
fishes, and in many instances the &C.
counts have been substantiated, es-
pecially in the cases of the Doras and
Neutrality-suspicious. common in tho
tropical South American streams
These fishes exist in vast numbers in
the streams and pools, and, like their
East Indian allies, they start in a body
overland, presenting a most singular
appearance, especially to those who
have never seen q fish out of water by
its own volition. To
Another catfish, known as the
Tangsa, in South American waters, is
often seen on partly submerged logs,
apparently having the habits Of frog
or lizard. In England the familiar lit
tie fish known as the blenny has a
curious habit Of baslzing in the open
air at times. This was first noticed by
naturalist named Ross, who kept
several of the fishes in an aquarium.
He had great difficulty in making them
stay in the water. At certain times
during the day they would make des-
perate and often successful attempts
to get out. Finally, upon the advice
of friend, he placed stone in the
tank so that part of it was exposed,
and out upon it climbed the blennies.
They seemed to require air, and from
choice spent part of the time out of the
water. singularly enough, this was
during the ebb tide, the period when
they would naturally be left high and
dry in the pools along shore.

MARCHING ON.

There was a lively II not very i'm
portant session OF the Lexow Commit
tee yesterday. and the learned Senators.
as well as the highly seasoned counsel,
seemed disposed to relieve the oppres-
siveness of the weather by a little light
and airy persiflage.
d Mr.. Goff had a witness in reserve who
was expected to make a sensation. He
was a policeman with a good record and
four service-stripes. who has served on
the force a sufficient number OF years
to entitle him to retirement on a pen
sion, and so. as the counsel puts II, can
snap his fingers at persecution" This
man, Charles A. Beck, was expected to
divulge the whole secrets of the inner
temple of the station. and he did make
1t clear that, as a patrolman on the river
front, he received money for extra ser
vice from steamship company, and that
he recently gave Officer Taylor. one OF
the sergeants. ten dollars out OF this
compensation. Taylor and three other
sergeants patrol the river front, but
whether they collect for the Captain
regularly the witness did not know. He
did know, however. that the companies
pay money to the policemen on duty.
Further testimony confirmed the fact
that the police receive payment for ex-
ira services from the steamship compa-
nies, and developed the information that
a sort of blackmail is levied on dealers
who land goods from boats, by Custom
House Inspectors. There was also Gu
mulative evidence OF the levies by po-
licemen on persons who obstruct the
sidewalks. and who, as the counsel put
Il, rent their stores of the landlords and
the sidewalks of the police.
Nothing was heard of Justice Divers
desire to explain matters to the Com
mittee. But another session is to be
held to-day, and the application may be
made at any moment. 1t cannot come
any too soon for the vindication OF the
Judge or the satisfaction Of the commu-

THE GREAT sAENGERFEsT.

Great will be the honor paid by the
American metropolis tomorrow and the
two succeeding days to the National
Saengerfest on the occasion Of its glori-
GUS song festival. and well will the
honor be deserved.
A people devoted to music and song
are a people to be trusted. Where is to
be found a deeper incentive to patriot
ism. where a more persuasive exhorta-
ton to tenderness and love. where n
more reliable indication Of gentleness,
honor and integrity? Says Ruskin. "All
great song, from the first day when
human lips contrived syllables, has been
sincere song" The German nation is a
nation of music and song. Who will say
that this characteristic of her people has
not been the handspring Of that devo-
ton to "fatherland" so deep in every
German heart. Who will deny that 1t
has helped to make the German-Amer-
lean generally a loyal. law respecting.
useful citizen OF the Republic. the
earnest enemy of that Anarchy which
has sprung up under all European Gov
ernments?
It Is proper that the President of the
United States, the Governor OF the
State and the Mayor of the city should
unite in showing respect for the great
song festival and should grace the occa-
sion of the opening torchlight parade
with their presence. The sight will
be well worth seeing. as the mon
ster concerts in Madison Square Garden
during the festival will be richly worth
hearing. The singers invited number
ten thousand, and they include the mos,
famous artists of the day and nearly all
the celebrated associations and societies
in the Union. With such names as Ma.
terna, Emma Juch, Lillian Blauvelt
! Tavary, Maud Powell, Campanari, Emf
Fischer. Behrens. Herbert and Freid
helm the New York people are familiar
1t is expected that six thousand mem
bers of the societies will pass under tn,
triumphal arch at Madison Square OF
the night of the parade.
Success. then, to the great Nationa
Saengerfest, and may the citizens o
New York delight in uniting to do full
honor to the festival.

Is a Million Enough?

TO the Editor:
! would like to ask the readers OF 'The Even
ing World whether 81. ooo. 900 Is not enough to
satisfy the ambition Of any reasonable man? This
sum. at low estimate. will yield him $780, 900 or
$40. 900 annually. Can he. without greed. ask for
more! II BY legislative act accumulstions could
be limited to this amount all worthy ambitions
would be gratined. The rich would be well pro-
tected. The multi millionaire would longer
be a stumbling block In the way OF his less
fortunate brother. Wealth would be more evenly
distributed among those most deserving of 1t. and
as we came into this world In one sense equal.
to the extent of our deservinss, we would have
fairer chance OF maintaining a more equal
footing than 10 possible under present greedy
and unjust system. No injustice would be done
the rich. and no fayoritism would be shown the
slugsard, but increased incentive would bo given
to the thrifty; industries would thrive. our labor
ing classes be benefited and cause for uprisngs
cease. The greater good would be done for the
greater number. PRO bono PUDLICO.
