A live Snake In a yyoman.s Arm.

\ most remarkable affection, and one OF
nature calculated 10 make ones flesh
creep, has long been endured by an old Ia
dy of the WILDLY ncighborhood. near CO.
lumbin, :. &. The lady's name is Phebe
Brown, and for more than third of a
century she has carried a live snake under
tho skin of one Of her arms How the rep
tile found lodgmcnt in such u peculiar
place is as much of u mystery to Mrs.
Brown rs IL is 10 the hundreds of people
who annually visit her fer the purpose OF
viewing the spot where thn unwelcome
lodgcr lies cncystcd When the lady first
noticed the bow shaped welt on her arm,
it was not more than two inches long or
larger in diameter than pin. But dur
ing the years that it has safely nestled in
her flesh, absorbing the woman's blood, IL
has grown from larrc thread to be n
snake moro than a foot in length and ms
large ms lead pencil. The eyes OF tho
hidcous creature are plainly visible
through the w0man's skin, and the scales
can be easily felt by rubbing the fingers
along the ridge formed by the scrpent's
body
Physicians pronounce it Il most remark
able freak, and have cndcavorcd, without
success, to prevail upon tho old lady to
have it cut out.--S;. Louis Republic.

STAm6ULoFF's BRAVERY.
Some Courageous Deeds OF the Murdere
bulgarian Statesman

They are telling in these days many
stories about Stambulaf's personal cour-
age One Of these relates Ia the time when
he was an exile in Bucharest \ journal
of that place printed IAN article in which
no was loaded with abusive cpiihcts. II
was also iniimatcd that he and certain of
his compatriotS had left their country for
their country's good. Personally he did
not mind this attack but he felt that for
poli;ica! reasons he must take notice of 1t.
To ignore II would iniure the cause for
which he was fighting. 50 he waited upon
the editor, found him alone and demanded
u rctraction. The editor promised that no
should have il, adding, Meet me tonight
at (naming "a cafe in the city, and will
show you draft Of 1t FOR your approval"
When Stambuloff entered the cafe at tho
hour agreed upon. he found the editor sur
rounded by ii dozen Of his fricnds-Rus-
sian braves. As StamhulofT approached
the group the editor laughed in his face
and hadc HIN 20 TO the devil. Stambuloff
quietly said: II shall not challenge you to
fight nc, for yor are II coward and would
decline But will force you To challenge
me, or show yourself greater coward
than suppose even "a Russian can he"
With that he forced his way through the
ring Of ruiiians, struck the editor three
times in the open face with his opcu hand.
then spat upon him. turned upon his heel
and walked away. Tie editor did not dare
to- challenge, Eur did one Of his friends cx-
press desire to take up tho pistol or ra-
pier in his behalf.
~ later day he broke up n conspiracy
against Prince Alexander by arrcsting the
ringlcadcr when nobody else could be in
trusted with the somewhat delicate task.
This was = plot headed liz Major Panitza.
Its qualifications extended for all anybody
knew, throughout the army and tho po-
lice Even IL those sent "a arrest paniiZa
were honest, IL was known that he always
went armed To the teeth, and Bulgarian
police are not fond Of going ON such er-
rands. Stamhuloif settled the matter by
setting out To make the arrest himself.
just mt midnight alone, uuarmcd Though
why unarmed does not apicar) and undis-
guiscd, he knocked n: Pnnitza'S door. Tho
majors wife, with loaded pistol in her
hand, admitted him. She recognized him
and raised her hand 10 fire. He looked mt
her and her arm fell. She turned away,
longing but fearing to shoot.
Stambui0T assembled 10 Panitza's room.
He found him in bed "a loaded revolver by
his side. Major Panitza, " said Stambu-

COMPULSORY PILOTAGE.

The Tacoma and Seattle papers are
making a bitter fight against a com,
pGsory pilotage bin now before the
Washington legislature. AS an argu,
ment they cite the disadvantages t.
the Columbia river from q compulsory
pilotage system, and warn the men,
bers of the legislature against saddling
the Sound with a like measure. The
Tacoma Ledger has the following to
say editorially:
There is no need of law to compe
shipmasters sailing in and out of Pu.
get Sound to employ pilots. On the
ether hand, such law would only
impose an unnecessary, and because
Unnecessary, an arbitrary and wanton
tax upon our foreign and coastwise
trade. We should rather encourag &c
this trade by making our ports cheap
of access and dispatch for vessels. In
our competition with the Columbia
river system we ought to avail our.
selves of all natural advantages, on,
of which is that the entrance of the
straight is so broad and safe, free from
all obstructions from the Sound to tn
ocean. that navigators need no pilot.

the charts.
There is no demand for compulsory
pilotage from shipowners or shipmas

Astorla. February 8. 1sgb


Editor Astorian:-
AS the subject Of the variety theatre
is now agttating the Astoria public,
permit me TO call attention to a few
points concerning which there has been
an honest difference OF opinion:
Ffrst-has the city council under our
charter anything to do with rhe grant
Ing or refusing of theatre license?
Second-Has the police judge any
option about granting theatre IL
cense II the required receipt .or license
fee is offered him?
1lhird-Has our city council any
authority under our charter to refuse
bar-room license If the applicants
bond is sufficient?
For answer to these questions l re-
fer the council and readers to the de-
cision of the supreme court Of the state
of Oregon in case entitled "The City
Of Portland VS.. Chas. SchmE," in which
a saloon-keeper under a similar charter
to ours, sued the city Of Portland
for license refused him. While the
court admitted that after an applicant
had complied with the requirements of
the city ordinance and his bond had
been accepted, a license must also be
issued him, yet the court also gave the
following decision on the license ques-
tion:
THE power TO license, tax, regulate
or restrain carries with it, without any
express provision, the authority to pro-
vide ty ordinance the terms and con-
ditions upon which such license should
be issued
Under this decision our Astoria
council has full authority to pass an
ordinance in harmony with the report
of the committee If last week, viz:
making as a condition of a variety
theatre license that the applicant for
1t shall present a petition for 1t sign
ed by three-fourths of the property
owners of the precinct.
But the SUPREME court also declares:
Under the clause lin the charter)
to provide for the good order Of the
city and prevent mtoxication the city
council has power to prohibit the sale
o. liquor at particular places, or 10,
cality, but not the sale generally"
Under this decision the council has
full power to refuse license In Lib.
erty Hall, Is the remonstrance was
not against Blei & Johnson having
license anywhere in the city, but |
against "a particular place" Liberty |
Hall. Long ago our city council pass,
ed an ordinance forbidIding theatrical |
performances in connection with bar.
room. Consequently no bar-room IL
cense can be granted to the variety
theatre to he used in Liberty Hall.
In conclusion let me say that some
person in an evening
attempted to stampede
some of aur council by sneering at the
fact that their action against the va
riety theatre was In harmony with the
aides of the city. Could a nobler rea.
'on have BEEN given for their action?
