4 SNAKE AT THE CAPITOL.
One Found by n Medical Student on
the West steps.

On the Statehouse steps yesterday after
noon was cold, sad Renaissance of the
halcyon days, when trip down the freight
elevator and short walk through dark
basement passages led to the celebrated
whisky barrel presided over by the Hon.
Michael Cain. The "Reminiscences was
logical outgrowth of those bibulous days,
according to that best authority on the
evils of whisky drinking-a temperance
chart which pictures the curling viper
creeping over the edge of the hooking
glass. In this instance the snake was real,
and not one of the light green skinned,
yellow-eyed remorse breeders that grace the
temperance chart.
Arthur Neighbour a student at the Medi-
cal College Of Indiana, on Senate avenue
just across from the capitol, discovered the
srake on the west capitol steps, where
some repairs have been making. 1t was in
that part of the basement in immediate
juxtaposition to the steps where Mr.. Gains
whisky barrel was stored The snake,
which was nearly two feet long. was in a
torpor. The medical student put it in his
pocket and took it over to the college with
him. Singularly enough, professor was
talking to a class the bites of reptiles
and Venomous creatures when Neighbor
walked in with the snake. The reptile was
not of the garter variety The students
amused themselves by chucking the snake
under the chin, and ii was so stupid it
did not resent the familiarity.

FINE POSTAL FACILITIES
RESULTS REPRESENTATIVE OVER
STREET OBTAINED FOR THIS CITY.
Three Deliveries a. Day I'm Suburbs
Outlook for the New Cow
eminent Building.

Representative Overstreet will return to
Washington at the end of the week. He has
devoted a great deal of his time since jan
uary last to the work Of obtaining improved
postal facilities for the city, and that work
is now almost complete. THE department
at Washington said Mr. Overstreet yester-
day, has been particularly prompt and
obliging in the matter. They have neither
refused nor neglected a single recommended
tion | have made in the matter. The in
creased force of carriers has been granted,
the stations and substations provided for
and all that now remains to be done is to
redstrct the city, and that work is under
way under the direction Of the postmaster.
There will be two full stations, one at llli-
nois and old Thirteenth street and one in
the northeastern section of the city. These
will be fully equipped for receiving and dis
tributing mail and each will be a complete
postofice on a small scale. Mail will be
transported from the main Office to these
stations by the electric cars, and will be
distributed from them by carriers. Each
will have superintendent. at 81, 900 a year.
Mr.. Bush, the postmaster at Brightwood,
will be superintendent of the northeastern
station. and C. E. Beatty, postmaster at
North Indianapolis, will be superintendent
at the one in the northwest. The present
postmasters at Haughville and Mount jack
son will be provided with clerkships in the
main office. There will be five substations,
for the sale of stamps and money orders.
These pay but one hundred dollars a year
and will be located in stores There Will be
three deliveries of mail a day in the bust
ness portion of North Indianapolis and
Brightwood and two deliveries in the resi-
dence portion. The full stations will be open
from clock in the morning until in the
evening, thus permitting matter mailed
at the close of business to get out on the
evening train. The department has also re-
Sponded to my recommendation OF equallz-
ing salaries in the main office, granting in
creases to ten or twelve clerks

was asked.
That depends upon the state of the gov
eminent revenue. During the last five years,
while the revenues have been low, the only
approximations made for public buildings
were TO complete buildings already under
contract, to make some necessary repairs
upon old buildings, to erect buildings in the
new States where they had nothing, end to
build in Chicago, where the government
building had been condemned and was torn
down. have noticed some statements that
indianapolis had been discrimi mated against.
This Is not true. There are other cities in

committee in the House, and if there are

session, the Indianapolis bill will pass.

DIDN'T KNOW OF THE DIVORCE.
Husband of the Lebanon Woman OBJ
tanned 1t in 1851.

Late last evening a woman who appeared
to be deeply agitated made inquiries con-
corning the divorce records in Room l, Su-
perior Court. The woman was from Leb-
anon. 1t seems that some months ago she
made application for a widows pension. In
the course of the investigation that followed
her hopes were suddenly chilled by the an
from the government officials
that she was not entitled to the govern
ments bounty, as her husband had pro-
cured a divorce from her in 1881. In look
ing over the records, the woman declared
that the first knowledge she had of the fact
that q divorce had been granted was when
the facts came out after her application
for a pension was made. She will inves-
tigate further to-day

STATE AND NATIONAL SUITS.
Some legal Information from a High
Authority.

A citizen of New York may sue a
citizen of Ohio in the state court of that
state, but if he prefers, may sue in the
United States court for the proper Ohio
district. The election is with him, If
the jurisdiction of the United States
court depends solely upon the fact that
he is a citizen of one state and the de-
PENDANT of another. But. if what is
called federal question" is in
volred-that is question arising under
the constitution or laws of the United
States-then the citizenship of the par
ties does not matter, for the subject
matter of the suit gives the United
States courts jurisdiction. If the par
ties do not, in the beginning of such a
suit, or by the removal of it after it
is brought, seek the proper United
States court, the state court may pro-
coed to try the federal question" but
after the supreme court of the state has
passed upon it the case may be taken
by writ of error to the supreme court
of the United States for a final deter
mination. The United States courts
in the trial of cases, especially of cases
where the citizenship of the parties,
and not the subject-matter of the suit.
gives them jurisdiction, must often con-
strue and apply the statutes of state.
But in such cases the general rule is
that the supreme court of the state has
construed the statute, the United States
court will follow the construction.
The supreme court has original juris-
diction of "all cases affecting ambassa-
doIs, other public ministers and con-
suls and those in which state shall
be party" That is, these cases may
he begun in the supreme court. Other
cases that reach the supreme court
come, by appeal or writ of error, from
one of the inferior courts of the United
States or from the supreme court of a

HIS STOVE FULL OF REPTILES.
Astounding Discovery by Texan When
He Lights q Fire.

For the first time this winter c. b.
Withers, of San Antonio, Tex, had oc-
casion to build a fire in his office the
other day. AS the heat soon became
oppressive he threw open the sto, e door
so that counter draft might reduce the
fire somewhat. Scarcely had he done
SO when he heard mighty scrambling
in the stovepipe and a big blacksnake
came tumbling down head foremost in.
to the fire. Then another and another,
and SO on till the stove was full of burn
ing snakes, and so thick and fast they
fell that some of them crawled clear out
over the charred bodies of the others
and began to crawl about the floor at a
lively rate.
Aiming himselfwith the poker Withers
killed six big fellows, making nine in all,
with the three that got caught in the
fire, but he says it is no pleasant ex.
perience to be alone in room full of
live snakes, and that his sympathies are
with delirium tremens sufferers for
evermore.
No doubt the snakes had crawled into
the fue from the roof at the end of sum.
mer and had lain there in torpid
state ever since, the sudden heat of the
fire warming them into activity

LAUNDERING WHITE SHIRTS.
A Few Points About a Somewhat Difficult
Undertaking.

To be able TO launder a white shire
properly is an accomplishment of which
any woman may be proud. If you have
had your patience tried by finding the
linen dingy and the collars and cuffs
limp when they return from the washer
woman's try the following plan of wash
ing and ironing them, and am sure you
will be satisfied with the result. The
washing is just as important as the
ironing, for unless the linen is clear
and white the most careful polishing
will not hide the defect. Soft water
should be used if you can obtain it.
Wash through one water, using plenty
of ivory soap to get it clean, boil
few minutes in good suds, then rinse
until every trace of soap is removed
having a little bluing in the last water
When dry, prepare cold starch by
dissolving two tablespooDfuls of starch
and a level teaspoonful Of borax in "a
cupfuls of cold water. The amount
of starch required varies little, as an
old shirt requires more than a new
one. Wet the bosom and cuffs in hot
water, wiring dry, then dip them II
the cold starch, moving them about
until every thread of the linen is sat
urated with it. Wiring again and roll
up half an hour before ironing. This
is better than the old method of cook
ing the starch and is less work.
Iron the body and sleeves of the shirt
first, then the cuffs and last the bosom
A board the size and shape of the shirt
bosom covered with three or four thick
nesses of flannel, then with clean
white cloth, is very convenient in this
stage of the work. Slip this inside the
shirt, stretch The bosom smoothly upon
it, and rub with a damp cloth. Then
iron until perfectly dry. The polish
is given by pressure and repeated mo-
ton with heavy iron.-Boston Budget.

Travellers in Bermuda bring back as
a souvenir the leaves of an interesting
plant of the houseleek family known as
the life plant. When the leaves begin
TO shrivel and fade they send out little
shoots which in turn bear leaves that
continue to grow and remain fresh and
green for months. These leaves are
four inches long, rich green in color,
and of smooth waXen texture. The
plant is succulent. With herbaceous
or shrubbery stem and annual or peren-
NAL roots, and grows in hot, dry, ex-
posed places. In Bermuda its growth
reaches foot high. Take one of these
leaves and fix it to the wall indoors and
il will begin to sprout within three
DAYS, winter or summer. At first the
top part of the leaf will begin to wither
or shrivel up, and it will likely continue
till the upper half has lost its green
color. Then tiny white roots will
spring from the edges, and soon small
green leaves an inch long will apear on
these.-Chicago Tribune.
