Redlands Mans Wonderful Story of a
New k"ptiIe.
Otto Smidt has just returned from
Death valley and relates a hair elevating
story of his ex perience in that weird land.
He states that On March 23d he was ON
the border of the famous Death valley,
and thinking that he saw evidences of
water on hillside some two miles away,
he started on tour of investigation.
He had almost reach'd the point OF
interest, when suddenly he heard around
him most beautiful mueic. Otto is a
lover of music, and he stood spell bound
while he listened to soft and melodious
strains, which, he declares, rlvaled the
sweetest OF symphonies. And yet the
source of the music could not be dis
cerned. He listened attentivelv. He
studied the objects about him most care
fully. And yet there was nanght to re-
veal his charmer. Mystified, puzzled,
overaSed. he took few steps ahead.
Something struck him on the leg. He
glanced down, but cav nothing. He
put down his hand and grssped hold Of
Il snake an inch in diameter. Yet he
could not sec it. He knew he had hold
OF serpent, because it WAS cold and
clammy, and it writhed and twisted and
w0und Itself about his arm. Now that
he had hold Of it he looked more in
tently than before, and as he looked
more carefully he could just detect the
faint outline of serpent which seemed
made OF glass and at the tail, instead of
having rattles, it had a cup-shaped de-
vice, also transparent, which revolved
when the snake was alarmed and pro-
duced that soft sound we sometimes
make by rubbing our thumbs on the
edge OF tumDiers.
As Otto held the serpent in his hand
it kept up the constant flow of music
and all about him hundred other SER
penis took up the refrain, aud the bleak
and desolate mountains echoed to strains
az soft and melodious as ever came from
zephyrs toying with the strings of an
Noian harp.
But, however sweet might be the
music, Otto WAS aware that the serpent's
fange might contain deadly poison. AS
he was grssping the snake near the
head it could not harm him unless it
had already done so when it fret struck
him. But his desire for knowledge of
Death valley was sstiated. Turning
upon his heel, he fed, bringing his
captured serpent with him, and he now
has it on exhibition in bis room in this
city, where any one VINO desires can see
it.-[Citrograph.

WHEN a spirited federal judge de-
ing of exultation amongst the whole
people of the United States, but it was
very short.lived. Instead of seeing the
maleic power of these felonious agencies
checked and their manipulators pun
ished (the penitentiary being the right
place for these latter the masses have
lived to behold the very congress of the
United States invaded by the most pow
erful OF this fungoid growth-the sugar
trust-and honorable senators have testi-
fed to the presence OF an unscrupuloue
lobby in congress in all lines-prin-
cipally directed against the tariff. The
popular expectation that the action of
one upright federal judge would uproot
the evil has been cruelly disappointed,
and the end is not yet. No journal

insure the nomination and election OF
Mr.. Cleveland than the New York

World does not fail to almost daily call
attention to the salient facts which
prove the laches OF this official with re-
spect to the trusts. The people OF Cali
fOrnia have had occasion to observe how
willing this same public functionary was
to zee the intent-both the letter and
the spirit-of the snti-Chinese laws de.

retains his place in Democratic cabinet

the congress OF the United States SHOWS
the levity which inspired Nero to fiddle
while Rome was burning. Instead OF
taking steps to compel the free coinage
Of silver, and rushing the tariff, so that
the manufacturers and business men of
the country may know where they stand,
time is wasted in interminable debates,
and today not only does no one know
when the new tariff will be enacted, but
no one knows for q certainty that any
one will be enacted at all. Meanwhile
the endless tramp of the Coxeyites goes
on, there is scarcely region in the
United States where strikers are not in
collision with employers and with the
authorities, and the talk of using dyna-
mite and giant powder is heard on every
hand.
What would be the effect of hard
winter following upon the non -resump.
ton OF our industries? No one who
wishes we'll to his country likes to DIV ell
upon this painful subject. And yet it is
not we'll to shut our eyes to imminent
possibilities. One thing the Common
wealers have shown, and that is that
they are the possessors OF most robust
physiques, and the number OF one lunged
people amongst them is very small in
deed. People who can walk over aud
camp in snow storms in the Allegheny
mountains without injury to their health
would be decided elements in q hard
winter in country whose industries re-
manned paralyzed.

WHERE IS OUR MUsgUMq

| A museum is something very much
desired in Los Angeles. In a place OF
resort for many visitors institutions Of
amusement should be afforded. They
are more needed in such a place than
in any other. Visitors, who are always
without employ ment, must have some
thing to divert them, otherwise life be-
comes burdensome. People having
nothing to do will not long remain in
place where there is lack of smuse-
ments. Los Angeles, more than any
other city on this coast. if not in Amer.
lea. ought to have first-clsss museum.
There is probably not another city as
large as this in the United States that
has not it's museum. The people at
large are interested, very deeply inter
ested, in matter OF this sort, and if
private citizens lack the needed enter
kind, the public functionsries should
take hold Of it. 1t is a matter that the
city council and the mayor might well
consider, and they ought st least to lend
encouragement to some association of
citizens to move in that direction. This
lie peculiarly proper time to inaugurate
an enterprise of this sort. In this year
OF worlds fairs attention is especially
directed towards such undertakings.
The attractions of the fairs consisted
largely of articles which would adorn
museum. A museum, in fact.
is sort OF perpetual fair. Very
many curios and articles of great
interest have been sent to Chicago or
San Francisco during the last year from
Los Angeles and Southern California, and
many, we regret to say, will never come
back. They are too valuable acquiei-
tons for museums in other cities to be
overlooked. They are picked up by
this, that ana the other place, many OF
them going to the cities OF Europe. This
part Of the state and the islands off this
coast are especially rich in paleontolog-
zeal specimens, which are gathered up
with great avidity by people from
abroad, who have keener appreciation
of their value than we seem to possess.
Los Angeles is losing much in this line.
She is neglecting golden opportunity.
She is being depleted of her treasurers
apparently without knowing what is
going on. The advantages of good
museum are man fold. In a scientific
point of view it is of great value. A
museum. if properly fitted out and con-
Quoted, ia a frstclass place of instrIc-
ton. 1t lie an object lesson on large
scale; it teaches rs well as smuees, and
Is useful to the old as well as the young.
