RAIDED IN EAGLES NEST
Queer Find Made in 1t by Three
Washinglonians.
SNAKE AND DECoY DUCKS
Three of the Wooden Fowls Had Been
Carried Off by the Parent Birds
Nest Was Sew twenty-five Feet UP In II
Tree and Al Live Blac ksna Ike Fought
the Adventurous Intruders.

A monster black snake was found on
Saturday last in the top OF a pine tree
seventy-five feet high on the famous Red
Top Farm near Quantico. In the top of
the same tree were found three of the
decoy ducks which had been used by
President Cleveland On his ducking eXpe-
ditionS near Quantico, but these two in
cidents are not tie most interesting in
an adventure in which a party OF Wash
ingtunians captured on the day named
three bald eagiets which are now on Xhib-
tion at the northwest corner of East Cap
iotl and Fourth streets.
The party was composed OF Mr.. n. T. l..
Hoyle, druggist at EasS Capitol and Fourth
streets; Dr. Drury, chief of the. medical
division i'll the Bureau of Pensions; Mr..
Nelson Conrad, son of Capt. Conrad, of
East Capitol street, and owner OF Round
Top farm; and MeSsrs. Lehre and Kins-
low, wncEmen on the farm.
The expedition was organized to capture
the young eagles, their eYrie having been
discovered by Mr.. Kinslow. Mr.. Hoyle
ana nr. DrGry are devoted To adventurous
sport of this kind and both have the rep
uUation of being dead SnotS. The principal
provision taken from Washington for the
visit TO the nest were climbing spurs which
were borrowed from a telegraph company,
fishing line, and two hundred feet OF
stout rope.

INTO THE NEST

Mr.. Hoyle reached the nest which he
said was about fifteen feet wide by twelve
long. The Outerw0rks OF the nest were
composed of fence rails from ten to eleven
feet long, just as they had been used on
the farm, and so many of them that in his
judgment the structure could not have been
penetrated by rifle bullet.
AS soon as his head appeared above the
parapet of the nest the ea-.ets showed
fight. They are about seven weeks old,
but measured five and a half feet in eX
panse of wings, standing erect about two
feet. They backed up against the opposite
edge OF the nest, screamed, and presented
their well-fOrmed talons for the encounter
Mr.. Hoyle succeeded, however, in pushing
them one by ore over the edge OF the nest.
AS they reached the ground each one re
newed the fight with beak and talOns until
he was seized and his legs tied securely.
While Mr.. HOyle was striking at them W ith
limb he had torn off, the snake
above referred to, which had been
sleeping In the rails, came out to take
part in the fight. He was, however. sup
pressed with a blow of the stick and dis
appeared i'll the network of the nest.
The Only way TO account for this snake
in this spot is that re was carried up to
the nest for food for the eaglets and that
he escaped from them, making his there
after home in the nest where he gets plenty
the young eagles were asleep.
The specially curious find in the nest
was the three decoy ducks. II is cvidert {
that the old eagles swooped down on them
and Carried them OFF without waiting 10
examine what manner of bird they had in
tow. Another article waR duck
hunters cap and one or two other
strange Things, but Mr.. Hoyle, remember
ing the possible return of the old eagles,
had no leisure 10 make an inventory Of the
hrc-a-brac OF this ancient American fam
lily. The eagles are Of The true bald-hpad
species that is SO we'll known on the
cscutcheou OF Uncle sam. and the fifty
Scvnr-c"nt dollar of Colorado.
Mr.. Hoyle keeps the ca glets in q back
room where they eat only live food and
especially rats. The ownership of the
prize Will probably be settled to the mutual
satisfaction of all concerned. A large
sum ras already bren offered for them
but II was SAID yesterday That they would
likely go to Druid Park in Baltimore.
Mr.. Hoyle did not say that the decoy
ducks belonged to President Cleveland. but
it will be remembered that the President had
some very bad luck down the river which
it will now be seen is eXp!ainable On the
theory that the eagles of the neigilborhood
had formed a decoy duck trust which car
ried off the decoys just at the time they
Were wanted very badly. If Mr.. Olne Y ha d
dealt with this trust as was his duty. hi.
chief would have had more time TO shoot
ducks and less time to read that famous
Venezuelan correspondence in his canoe on

pea1s to their reason against the over
turning of Democratic precedents,
as is proposed to be done in the mat
ter Of the abrogation of the two
thirds rule. No Democrat can re-
gard such things as this and such as
the frequent consultation with the
St. Louis boilers with equanimity.
and such proceedings will only en-
courage the independent movement
which is soon to follow them if they
are coupled with free coinage decla-
ration in the platform
Asked if the gold men would bolt,
in case of positive pronunciamento
for silver, Mr.. Echels expressed the
opinion that there would be no open
bolt. But" he said, "there would
be detection at the polls which it
would be impossible to prevent.
The rank and file of the party can
not be made to stand up for the
party if the party convention insists
upon overturning all Democratic pre-
cedents."

Teller's Grand Reception.

Denver, COL, July 1.-Senator
Henry NJ. Teller, on arriving in Den
yer this evening, was met by a great
outpouring Of people from all parts
of the State. The demonstration
was non partizen and it is doubtful
if the scenes of enthusiasm have
been parel!eled in Western history.
The explosion of bomb at the
union depot at 8 p. m. announced
the arrival of the Senator's special
train in Dever. The streets were
jammed with people. Immense
flags and pannants, and banners Of
welcome were everywhere displayed.
An immense parade was already
formed. Military and civic and la
Dor organizations made up the pro,
cession and the Teller Silver Club,
1000 strong, was in line. As the Sen
ator stepped from the train there
went up a mighty shout and the
roar of human voices drowned out
the noise of the bombs.

81 r five weeks I lived Oh cold
water so to speak" writes man who
suffered terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on
his stomach. What stayed wasn't
properly digested and gave him ter
rible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case.
Dyspeptics don't get enough nour-
ishment. They are generally thin and
week.
They may eat enough, but they
don't digest enough. Much of what
they eat turns into poison. If this
keeps on there's no telling what dis
ease they may get next. That's
why it is best to take Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, as soon as symptoms Of
indigestion appear.
It cures all the evils of indigestion,
and prevents the evil which indiges-
ton causes. Sold by druggists,

dren from lapsing into chronic inva-
lids later in life, they should take
Ayers Sarsaparilla together with
plenty of wholesome food and out

Few medicines have held their
ground so successfully as Ayers

A f'Ccnfed'' to General Grant.

Charlotte Democrat.
A Lincoln county Confederate
veteran called to see US one day this
week and presented us with a ccpy
of the following little story, which
first appeared in print in 1871, ard
if at any time since, it's droll, good
natured humor will excuse its repro
duction here:
During The war 'Confed' wss
captured by the Yankees and hap
pened to be taken to General Grants
headquarters. After being ques-
toned by the General, the old Cor
fed asked him where he was going.
Il am going said Grart, to Rich
mond, to Petersburg, to heaven and
it ma; be I will go to hell"
After eying the General for
several minutes, the OLD 'Conieu'
said:
General Grant, you can't go to
Richmond for General Lee is there;
you can't go to Petersburg for Ger
eral Beauregard is there; you can't
90 to heaven for Stonewall Jackson
is there; but as to going to hell, you
may get there, for I know Of no
Confederates in that region"

the Democratic doctrine of a tariff
for revenue only. I am in favor OF a
graduated income tax and such
amendments of the Constitution OF
the United States as will permit
legislation to that end. The accu-
mutation of the colossal fortunes by
a few people is constant menace to
our free institutions. The laws OF
supply and demand no longer fix the
value of the products of industry and
they are forced to agree to the un.
jast exactions OF combined capitsl
and, as a result, the rich grow richer
and the poor become poorer. Some
thing must be wrong and remedy
must be found and speedily applied.
I am III accord with Senator Tillman
in the positions assumed by him in
the Senate, and if elected I shall
supplement his able efforts to pro-
tect the rights of the people with
such power as I may have and with
all the earnestness of my nature.
Trusting that I may at some future
time have the opportunity to appear
before you to discuss the issues in
volved, I am,
Respectfully,
Joseph H. Earle.

Last summer one of cur grand
children was sick with severe bowel
trouble. Our doctors remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which gave very speedy relief. We
regard it as the best medicine ever
put on the market for bowel COM
plaints,-Mrs. E. G. Gregory, Fred
erickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the
market for dysentary, summer COM
plant, colic and cholera infantum in

prompt relief when used in reasona-
bic time and the plain printed di-
rections are followed. Many moth

Old But Good.

The following story originated in
Ohio many years ago, but will bear
repeating:
A minister in one of our orthodox
churches, while on his way to preach
a funeral in the country, called to
see one of his members, an old lacy
who had just been making sausages,
and she felt very proud of them, in
sting on the minister taking some
of the links home to his family.
After wrapping the sausages IN a
cloth, the minister carefully placed
the bundle in the pocket Of his great
coat, Thus equipped, he started for
the funeral. While attending the
solemn ceremonies Of the grave,
some hungry dogs scented the saus-
ages, and were not long in tracking
them to the pocket Of the good mans
overcoat. Of course this was great
annoyance, and he was several times
placed under the necessity OF kick
ing the whelps away. The obse-
quies at the grave completed, the
minister and the congregation re-
paired to the church where the
funeral discourse was to be preached.
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when a brother
who wished to have an appointment
given out, ascended the stairs of the
pulpit, and gave the minister's coat
hitch to get his attention. The
divine, thinking it dog having de-
signs upon his pocket, raised his foot
and gave a sudden kick and sent the
good brother sprawling down the
steps. You Will excuse me, breth-
rcn and sisters" said the minister,
coufusediy, without looking at the
work he had just done ''for I could
not avoid it. I have sausages in my
pocket, and that dog has been try
ing to grab them ever since he came
upon the premises!

Gold Sympathisers VIII Attempt to
Turn the Silver Tide.
Chicago, ILL.,, July 1.-Comptroller
Eckels of the Treasury Department,
said today that he expected Mr..
Whitney and others Of the anti silver
wing of the party on Friday. Mr..
Eckels thinks that after that time
the complexion of sentiment will
change somewhat and that the silver
people will not have such complete
command of the situation as they
now appear to have. While Mr..
Whitney is regarded as the leader of
the gold forces they expect to be
able to muster formidable array of
distinguished men who will assist
him in his efforts to prevent the
party's throwing itself entirely upon
the white metal side of the contro-
versy. In addition to Mr.. Whitney

Senator Jewett of New Jersey, Ser
ator Villas of Wisconsin, Senator
Gray of Delaware and many others,
including large delegations OF busi-
ness men and influential politicians
from Indianapolis, Baltimore, Pitts
burg, St. Louis, Cincinnati and
other cities. It is understood that
fifty influential men are coming from
Indianapolis alone and that Iowa will
send large delegation. The Hi
nois gold Democrats will also be
present in force.
II cannot but believe" said Mr..
Eckels, after giving this list, THAT
these men will excite an influence
upon the convention. They are all
men who have participated in ma
tional affairs and all are well known
Democrats. They will appeal to the
convention in the interest Of the
business stability Of the country and
also for the preservation of the
party's integrity"
The silver leaders must listen, If
they are Democrats, when it is pointed
out to them that the adoption cf a
free silver declaration means the Ger
tain defeat of the party at the polls.
It will be shown to them, as it can
be clearly shown, that in this event,
they will not only lose every Eastern
State, but that they are also sure
to lose all the Southern States
