oughly and in an hours time was able
to 60 10 sleep. She now applies it

aud finds that il always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

HUGE SNAKES IN BATTLE


A battle royal between two huge
snakes and an attempt on the part OF
the surviving reptile to count woman
among its victims were the cause of q
great deal of excitement yesterday at
ternoou among the visitors to the
Grand Spring show, at Sulz RS Harlem
River Park, at One Hundred aud
twenty seventh street and Second ave-
uue, New York.
Tho two snakes were 10 foot ana
conda and S! foot cross between py
thon and boa constructor They were
placed in charge of Mile. Madeleine, n
professional snake cbarmer.
She ordered the box containing her
two pets placed in recess of the men
egerie prior to their introduction to the
audience. Suddenly there WAS com
motion on the inside Of the box that
brought over Mile. Madeleine in hur-
cy. She found the two snakes inter
twiD,d so that it was hard to tell which
Was which. The anaconda was making
frantic efforts to get the boa's head into
IT. wide open jaws, and the boa, on The
other hand, WAS contracting its muscles
around the body of the enemy With
strength born of despair
Mile. Madeleine made quick dive
ioto The box through the glass lid,
which hnl been broken in the melee,
and seized the boa at the back of its
pead with one hand, while with her
other hand she clutched the Anaconda
ia he same spot. With all her mig
she began uggirg away, but 10 no pn-
pose. The snakes then wound them
selves around her body. During the
struggle one Of the woman's hands slip
ped, and quick rs q flash the boa turn. d
and bit her hand, making deep he: h
wound.
This attack made Mile. Madeleine
relax her hold on the snakes. she drop
ped them IN hurry. The anaconda
twisted itself with renewed vigor around
Jue boa's body, and with spasmodic
sudden jerk foally succeeded in break
ING its euemy's back.
Mile. Madeleine calmly ordered an
attendant TO send for doctor, while
he prepared to replace the victor in the
box With her hand bleeding profuse-
~, hut with an unrutlled temper, Mile.
Madeleine grapped with the snake,
and after few minutes maneuvring
succeeded in shaking it of and putting
it back in the box. The boa died in a
ie minutes.
