the Record for the Day.
St.. Louis, Mo, March eight new
cases and two deaths from smallpox is the
record for the past twenty-four hours.
Two new cases appeared in the work
house, and one in the city jail. All were
sent to quarantine near Jefferson bar

house are being vacclnated, and eight
prisoners at the work house suspected
of having incipient smallpox have been
isolated in an improved quarantine There
are 107 patients in crowded quarters at
the pest house. 1t is feared that the exo-
dus of the race track hangers on from
Hot Springs will add to the number of
cases unless energetic measures are taken
to keep them from the city.
Little Rock, Ark, March 6.-The Little
Rock board of health has issued a quar-
antine order against Hot Springs on ac-
count of the smallpox. Last evening two

ARRESTED As 4 MURDERER.
= Policeman Thought He Had Capt.
Cincevich's slayer.


Major Daniel colored, was released by
the recorder yesterday morning. Daniel
had been arrested on suspicion that he
was the murderer of Frank Cincevich at
the Five Mile Bend.
The only foundation for the suspicion
of the officer that arrested Daniel was
that he was big, black fellow and had
a sore place on the side of his head
which might have been caused By the
blow from the lamp in the hands of Mrs.
CinceVich.
Daniel explained to the satisfaction of
the recorder that he received the wound
on the side of his head in a scrap with
another negro a day or two ago, the
wound being the result of a bite. He
also established the fact that he was at
work in the city when the murder oc-

HUNTING PYTHoNs IN NATAL.
Burn Forests and Dig Pits to Capture the
Immense Reptiles.

Burn Forests and Dig Pits to Capture the
Immense Reptiles.
The colony of Natal, South Africa,
abounds in boa constructors and pythons.
While they do not attack men they are
especially destructive of cattle, sheep
and oxen, and for this reason parties
are formed by hunters and natives to
burn the bush and forest in order to ex-
terminate the pests. Some Of the SOL
diers at Pietermaritzburg were recently
informed by party of neighboring Zu-
lus of the whereabouts of huge python
that had been destroying their oxen.
The soldiers, with 900 natives, start
ed off to capture the snake, and having
located it the forest was fred for about
a mile roundabout, an enormous pit
having been previously dug in toward
the center Of the inclosed space What
with the burning brush and the shouts
Of the Kaffirs they soon drove the rep
tile toward the pit, where, closing in
upon him, they forced him into it. The
python proved to be Of enormous size,
being 80 feet long and Al inches in cir
oumference. Itappeared to be quite stu
pid or dazed, having just eaten a young
OK that had been led into the inclosure.
An enormous cage, with iron bars
half way down the front, having been
constructed, the snake was got out OF
the pit and taken to Maritzburg in the
cage. Here it is kept on exhibition at
the barracks, and it is fed twice week
two Kaffir goats at each meal. 1t will
not eat anything that has been already
killed for it, preferring to kill it's food
itself. The goats are thrust through a
small door at the end of the cage alive,
when, fixing its great eyes upon them.
the snake suddenly lunges forward and
brushes them in its powerful folds. Aft
er covering them with thick slime al
most an inch deep before swallowing,
1t flattens them out by squeezing them
and then swallows them almost at a
gulp. After this the python goes to SLEEP
and does not awake until it is time to
feed again. London Telegraph.

CHARACTER IN WINDOW SHADES.
They Tell Tales About the Inmates of the
House, Young Woman Says.

houbcb N AOuhB "oihith says
'I don't know anything about the
front of house that more clearly indi-
Gates the character and condition of the
inmates than the window shades" said
q young woman of observation. "If you
see the shades all drawn down to pre-
cisely the same level in every window,
you can tell at once that the house is
occupied by single family and that
the mistress is Of severely orderly
spirit. Therell not be thing out Of its
accustomed place in that house, you can
rest assured. If the shades Of all the
up stairs windows are drawn down to
the top of the bottom sash, while those
of the parlor are drawn clear down, you
can safely judge the family Of that
house to be one Of those essentially do
mestic ones that live mostly up stairs,
where the bedroom is at once the wife's
sewing room and the husbands library
and where the parlor is only opened on
state occasions. If the bedroom window
blinds in the middle story are half way
down while those on the top floor and
of the parlor are away up, you won't
be wrong in saying that that house is
ruled by the young folks, who are going
to have food of sunshine in their bed
rooms even if it does fade out the mat
ting and who are not going to have the
parlor smelling like musty old church.
1.-THE room with that one window
blind run clear up to the top is occupied
by man, and if you see the window
shades at different heights you take it
for granted that they have let lodgings
there or that the housekeeping is of de-
cidedly frousy character. One Of the
most unfailingly indicative shades is
that which runs diagonally across the
window, with one corner close under
the roller and the other half away down
the sash. The woman Of that window is
a slattern. and it's babies to bodkins
that the growler is rarely empty there.
''These are, of course, only the broad
indications Of the character reading that
may be done from the position and wag
of the eyelids of house, for I suppose
it is not forcing figure of speech to
say that if the windows are the eyes Of
house the shades are the lids and can
be held primly straight or give drunk
en- wink. New York Sun.
