A Pleasa Mt Social Event in the Cos.
mopolitan Hotel Followed by
a Banquet.

William Fahev, proprietor of the Co.'S
mopolitan Hotel on Fifth ana Mission
streets, assisted by Mrs. Fahey, enter
tanned large party of friends last even
ing and all had a most enjoyable time.
The occasion was humorously called the
hanging of the horseshoe and many of the
guests were adorned with the lucky en-
blem. In fact most of those present are
members of what they call the Horseshoe
Social Club.
The large parlors were ablaze with light.
and flowers were scattered everywhere.
The early part of the evening was spent
in listening to songs, recitations, instru-
mental music and character sketches.
James M. Ward, the actor, sang and
gave several recitations. Harry Gleeson
and w. D. Hendrickson cleverly disguised
themselves so their best friends did not
know them, and gave several we'll sus-
tained character sketches. Cass WRIGHT
entertained the party with several violin
solos, and among the others who contrib
uted to the evenings enjoyment were
Miss Leah Heineberg, John e. Gleeson Jr..
William Gleesol, the actor, and Professor
Andonegui.
At late hour the host invited his
friends to sumptuous banquet, and to
reach the banquet hall overy one had to
pass under an old rusty horseshoe, and
Mr.. Fahey and his family wished them all
the good luck the emblem is supposed to
carry with it. Toasts, short addresses and
humorous recitations were the order until
it was time to say goodnight. Many of
the guests were prominent members of the
Police Department. Mr.. Fahey's guests
were:

STARVING SNAKES.
Air and a Chance Fly or Two Has Been
Their Bill of Fare for Several
DAYS.

The establishment in the ground floor OF
the old Y. NJ. c. A. building on Sutter
street. long known as the "Snake Drug
store" has became scene of starvation
and suffering. A short tine ago the orig
inaI proprietors moved their business to
the corner above. Another drug firm
rented the shop, and by way of an adver-
tisement established menagerie of rep
tiles in one of the show windows. The
business met with setbacks and reverses,
and at length the place was closed by
order of court, a Sheriff's officer being
placed in charge of the premises.
The mans job was an easy one. So long
as he did not attempt to sample the drugs
he might well have been envied by many
a busy merchant-prince or hard-worked
professional man.
The welfare of the snakes, however, had
not been taken into account. For days
and DAYS the luckless even though un-
canny creatures have been living on air,
that light diet being varied by an occa-
sional fly. A good man. versed in the
ways OF snakes, passing by the place per-
ceived that the reptiles were in danger of
diving ofinanition. He reported the m natter
to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, which has taken measures to
have the snakes fed or dispatched.

Heart.

fact is attributed his rash act. He leaves
a widow and two children.

TWO MOST REMARKABLE CASES
OF INSANITY BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Study Of Greek and Latin Unbalance Winds Of
Two Young Men In Lowell.

Lowell. Mass, Dec. 23.-Two most re-
msrkable cases Of insanity were brought
to light yesterday by the arrest Of two
brothers. Edgar and Frank Sanborn Of
Billerica- The young men are "a and 25
years old, respectively. They became
suddenly and violently insane last Sun
day night. The young men worked on
the farm during the day, and at night
studied Latin and Greek.
Without warn ng they seized two re-
volvers, and marching shoulder to
shoulder, went into the room occupied
by their parents and compelled them TO
remain as they were for eight hours.
Later they engaged in many wild and
insane acts simultaneously, as though
moved by intuition, no words having
been spoken by either during the par
oxysm.
The authorities were summoned, and
the men were placed in custody after a
violent struggle.
