THE SNAKE WAS ROUND HER NECK
When the PIucky Girl Killed 1t
With Her Scissors.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Jacksonboro, o.. Aug. "a remarkable
adventure is reported here to-day as hav-
ing taken place Saturday evening at
Browns Run, a wild and rugged strip Of
territory in Madison Township. Howard
Deem is a prosperous farmer there. His
wife recently employed a girl in Middle
town to do general homework and took
her out on the farm. Among other duties
the girl had to gather the eggs each even
ing. Saturday night she went to the stable
on her egg hunt, and thrust her hand into
a manager, and into a familiar nest, where
eggs were found each day. None were there
but, instead, an immense black snake.
which wrapped itself about the girls arm
and before she could recover her power of
speech or locomotion, had gotten to her
shoulder and wound its Shiny coils about
her neck. The girl was almost paralyzed
with fright. but had presence of mind
enough to reach for a pair of scissors
she had been using in sewing. With these
she entered into terrific combat with the
big serpent. jabbing viciously at it. and
cutting herself as well as the reptile in
her wild thrusts. Her screams finally
brought Mr.. Deem from the house and af-
ter a struggle he succeeded in releasing
the poor girl from her awful predicament
She swooned after the trying ordeal was
passed, and is in rather a serious condi-
ton. both from the fright and the self-in-
flicted wounds. The snake was almost sew
en- feet in length.

Listen, Silver Men!

The New York chamber OF com
merce is alarmed, 1t knows that the
cause of silver is to the front, and 1t
fears that it may win. Consequently
it has sounded general tocsin to the
business men and capitalists through
out the nation, asking them to stand
firmly together shoulder toshouider,
to unite in a vigorous effort to urge
the selection of delegates to the po-
litical conventions of both great par
ties who will advocate clear and
distinct platform of utterances in ia
Yor of the maintenance. OF the pres
ent standard of value. The time is
short, and action ought therefore.
~ be all the more prompt.
While the enemy is united, shall
the people be silent and inert? While
the goldbugs will present solid
front in both conventions, is it to be
understood that the silver men will
20 there as an awkward and quar-
reling squad, each man with his own
choice fop presidential candidate?
Is it not time for the Republicans,
not only of California, but of the en-
tire Pacific Coast, to determine that
they will be once united; that their
delegates shall be pledged before
hand that they will not vote for any
man as the Republican nominee for
President, who will not pledge him
self squarely and unequivocally upon
the side of silver?
Let the coming Republican con-
yentions of California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah,
Wyoming and Montana place in
their platforms unmistakable silver
blanks, and let their delegates be
pnequivocally pledged to vote for
that man or Republican candidate
for president who will promise to
stand squarely upon such plank
The Pacific Coast delegates may
hold the balance of power. They
may be able to dictate terms to the
entire convention. They may be able
10 name the next President of the
United States.
Will they put their united Shout
ders to the wheel, or will they differ,
divide, and become nonentitles in the
great body? .ss.. =, d. ~
Let none of these great Pacific
Coast states pledge its delegates for
Mckinley, for Allison, for Reed, or
iega any other man, but let them
uhitedly instruct their delegates to
vote for the man who will promise to
stand solidly upon the silver plank
presented to him.
With an united front, and the
shibboleth Silver and Victory" the
Pacific Coast delegates may accom-
plish much.
Without it, they are likely to cut
az much figure in the coming ma
tional convention as the present pack
of quarreling Irishmen do in the leg
islative chambers of the great British
empire. Sacramento Bee.
