WIS HE DIsooURrEoUsq

President Cleveland is charged with
snubbing the Supreme court of the
United States. The story is that he
was aware that it was the custom for
that august body to pay its respects
to the president on the opening of the
court, but did not apparently regard
the ceremony Of sufficient Importance
to get back to washington in time to
receive the attention. The custom has
been in vogue for many years, and
President Cleveland was the first presi-
dent to break it, which he did once
during his first term, but the incident
was regarded as an unintentional omis-
sion and was overlooked. This time it
is regarded as an indignity, because
the president had been taking a four
months vacation and there was no
reason, it is claimed, why he could not
have been at home to receive the at
tention had he regarded it Of import
ance.
President Cleveland has lately shown
in several matters decided disinclin-
alton to subject himself to trouble and
annoyance in order to take part in cere-
monial affairs, but it is not at all proba-
BILE that he intended to deliberately
snub the Supreme court, even if that
court did snub the income tax. 1t
| would, however, have been decidedly
proper for him to take pains to be polite
to the Supreme court, or to allow the
court to be polite to him.

ionable wraps. The material here Is
a brown mixed tweed and the fronts
may be fitted or boxed, as preferred.
The selection of buttons, too, may be
guided by individual taste, but smoked
pearl will be pretty At the sides and
back the skirt is very full and is godet
pleated, while the fronts turn back IN
| narrow revers that extend into very
deep sailor collar.
The wee costume Of the companion
figure in the picture is made from prune
colored cheviot. It's skirt is not very
full and is gathered to the band with
more fullness in back than at sides and
front. The blouse waist is quite sim
pie, being alike in back and front, and
made of gathered stuff with plain belt
and collar Of the same material. A big
sailor collar of white batiste, edged with
white thread lace, brightens the dress,
and above all comes a white velvet hat
with prune trimming.
The little cooked hat still appears,
and it suits young and piquant faces
| charmingly. STILL if you wanted such
| hat, last season was the time to get
| it. 1t takes lot of tact to take to a
| fashion right in the crest of it's success,
not when it is so far ahead as to be in
| question, nor when it is so much used
as to be common. Yet therein lies the
| secret of good dressing. Women who
strive to keep ahead of the general ac-
| ceptance of a fashion are wearing their
| hair pompadour; that is, it is drawn
| back smooth from the forehead over a
| roll Tn consequence apv ono who finds
| that style of hair becoming can adopt
| it, and say she is doing as the swells
do, but if it isn't becoming she can go
on doinf her hair in the way that is
suitable. That is what it is to be a
free and independent United Statesian.

Kansas farmers are pleased by de-
cision in the United States district
court at Leavenworth, adverse to law
which they nave been fighting as pecu-
liarly unjust. This was the Judgment
over" law in mortgage foreclosure,
which allows the holder of a mortgage,
after it has been bid in, Judgment in
every case for the difference between
the amount of his debt and the amount
at which the property was bid in. In
many cases, however, the property has
been bid in by the mortgagor at figures
which were far below its actual value,
and thus the debtor has been forced to
pay much more than his debt; but Judge
Foster, sitting as chancellor in equity
cases, decided last week that when the
property was not bid in for the full
amount of the mortgage the plaintiffs
could not get an additional judgment.

Calkins is the son of well-known
farmer, who lives about nine miles
from Brooksville, KY. He was engag-
ed to marry Miss Mary Calder, daugh-
ter of neighbor. There marriage was
to take place next month. About a
week ago Calkius drove over to see his
sweetheart. He hitched his horse and
started up the walk to the front door.
Near the veranda stood the girl, but at
the same time a big mastitf sprang at
him. Calkins sought refuge i'll an ap-
pie tree, where he was held at bay by
the dog. The girl, overcome by the
ludicrous aspect of the situation, laugh

ed to have the dog driven away, but
the young woman could not stop laugh
ing to do it, and the lover became in

by the girls mother and Calkins came
down from bis perch. He departed
without speaking to the girl. She
wrote letter of apology to him, but
he refused to accept it, claiming that
the dog had been purposely set upon
him. Calkins demands 'S2,500 dam

CAN CURE SNAKE BITES.

Turnersville, village in Fauquier
county, near the Blue Ridge, was great
ly excited on Saturday by the announce
ment made by Walt tSimons, an old her.
NIT mountaineer, that he can cure snake
bites. Walking into the village hotel,
he deposited q soap-box punctured with
air-holes on the barroom floor.
81 will bet 500 to chew of old
plug,n he said to the assembled loung-
ers, "that I can cure any known case of
snake. bite in ten minutes, bar none"
Nobody offered to bet, and the old man
declared he would prove his claim any
how. First he demanded that cat be
brought to him and bitten, to prove
thatthe snakes fangs had not been e1,
tracted. This was done and the cat
soon succumbed. Following this un-
pleasant preliminary, Simmons took
the larger of the reptiles from the box,
barred his right arm and grasped the
snake in the middle of the body, so that
it could easily twist itself about and
strike. He hardly touched the snake
before it savagely attacked the flesh
barred so temptingly, and to the horror
of the on-lookers, struck Simons half q
dozen times.
Dropped the snake into the box, Sim
ons took out its companion, and delib-
erately held it up 80 that it could strike
his cheek. Then he lowered the ugly
head until on level with his throat.
when it promptly bit him under the
chin. Letting the snake exhaust itself,
Simons coolly tackled the lid of the box
on, and, lighting bis pipe, awaited re-
suits. They were soon apparent in the
swelling of Simons' throat, neck, face
ard arm.
Refusing all offers of whisky, Simons
took some odd shaped blocks of white
wood from his pockets and laid them
carefully over the places where he had
been bitten.
Even while the crowd watched the
swelling and discoloration began TO dis
appear, and in ten minutes time there
was not trace left of the attacks of the
snakes. Strangest of ali, the blocks,
which we're of porous appearance and
dotted with hundreds of minute spiral
markings. showed no evidence OF hav-
ing absorbed the venom, and were as
white and clean as before using.
Simons says the markings are pieces
of a plapt pasted securely on the block.
He refused to reveal its character. He
has sold several hundred of the blocks
at high prices.
