FELT HER GARTER Was ALIVE.
Mrs. Schmidt Shrieked and Snake
Wriggled to the Floor.
Then q Brave Gripman Killed the
Serpent In a Cable Car.

Quite from her thrilling ex-
perience. Mrs. Regina Schmidt Is re-
ceiving the admiration OF shuddering
bevies Of women friends to-day for her
rare presence OF mind and marked hero
Ism as she tells of how her shape.y ankle
was squeezed by a coiling reptile last
evening In n crowded Third avenue cable
car. and how she calmly lifted her
skirts and shook off the serpent's clasp
80 that the gripman OF car 46 could kill
It.
The people In the car tell It differ
emily. They say that as car 46 stopped
at Twenty-ninth street on the way up
town there was n piercing shrek, fol-
lowed by agonizing cries for help. and a
plump and pretty young woman suddenly
threw one dainty shoe out before her,
pulled up her skirts and then yelled.
There was a live garter just above her
shoe top. The young woman cried:
Take II OF. some one!"
Before the Oldest man in the car could
reach the frightened Mrs. Schmidt, the
garter had wrlggled on to the floor of
the car.
The gripman had heard some one yell
that a boa constructor was loose in the
car. He rushed in with one OF his levers
and crushed the life out OF the serpent.
1t was a garter snake, probably just
in from the country In a armer'
basket OF garden truck. II was n foot
long and as thick as Mrs. Regina
Schmidt's dimpled little finger. but 1t was
big enough to create a sensation.

People at the Graveyard.
Even Spoke to . Young Man Who

CANARSIE, L. l., April 24.-All Of the
people Of Canarsie are as much excited
over the repeated announcement tina
there is a ghost in town as were their
.neighbors Of Rockaway Beach a year
or so ago by the wild man of the woods.
Bay men n boat-house keepers talk
OF little else than the apparition that Is
said to nightly haunt the Church road
that runs past the graveyard. while all
citizens agree in the conclusion that the
spectre must be caught or the delusion,
II 1t Is a delusion, dissolved before the
Summer season opens, or else Canarsie
Is doomed to be the dullest shore resort
on Long Island.
For the sake OF Canarsie's future Capt.
Brown. the life-saver. has commissioned
himself to run the mystery to earth or

lead some other community to lay claim
to the ghost as an escaped attraction
he told an Evening World reporter

along the Church road and frantically

to take him home.
The experience of Richard Guyler, as
related by Capt. Brown, was even more
exciting than that Of Rider. Guyler
is not gifted with the peculiar ability
to recognize a ghost when he sees
one, n when he met the %apparition
and was asked by 1t in anything but
a graveyard tone to point the way to
