There is no known antidote for the
bite Of the tiger-snako of Australia
Persons bitten die almost instantly,
and the government has a standing
offer of 1000 for anyone who will
discover a remedy. Some few years
ago a man actually discovered an etli-
cacious antidote. To prove its
value, he allowed himself to be Bit

session of the power to kill One
day he gave AN exhibition before
some government officials, but, being
much under the influence Of liquor,
he did not recolloct what he had done
with his antidotc, and he died hcrt-
by after the snake-bite, his secret
with him.

REMARKABLE MICHIGAN COUPLE
Man, Aged 1O7, and His Wife, Aged
los, Celebrate

LAGRANGE, Ind. April 25.-Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Hitler, living near Elkton.
Mich, the oldest married couple in the
United States, celebrated their eighty
seventh wedding anniversary yester-
day.
Hitler is aged LOT and his wife los.
The latter is totally blind and helpless.
Hitler is Of medium height and build,
his step is firm and regular and he is
as spry as a man half his age. He
reads a newspaper well and without
the aid Of spectacles.- He attends to all
the household duties, and their home is
as cheerful and clean as could be ex-
pected from a young married couple.
The couple are from Canada, and
were married at the ages of twenty
and eighteen years respectively. They
moved to Michigan, and have been res
idents Of this state for over eighty
years. He was twenty-five years of
age at the beginning of the War of
1872, and now relates very wildly
many of his experiences during the
conflict.
The family consists Of eleven chill
dren, the oldest eighty-two, and the
youngest hfty-seven, all of whom are
in good average health and bid fair to
make an age record similar to that Of
their parents.

ONLY TWO SERIOUSLY HURT.
Some Stories of Saturdays Wreck
Wildly Exaggerated.

The victims of the collision between
an East Seventh street electric car and
a North ST. Paul motor at the Seventh
street junction of the lines Saturday
night were yesterday reported to be
resting as comfortably as possible I'M
der the circumstances. From the in
vestigations of DR.. Robillard, who is
attending the injured, it appears that
only two persons were at all seriously
injured Michael Larkin, Of North ST.
Paul, had his right knee cap broken,
was cut about the head and bruised
about the body, but was yesterday
much improved. 1t is thought that he
will ultimately wholly recover from the
effects of his injuries, though there is
a possibility that the injured leg may
be stiff Mrs. Mary Larkin has re-
covered from the shock Of the acct
dent, and, with the exception of lame
ness from the shaking up, is not in
jured Mrs. McDonough, living at 500
Sims street DR.. Robillard reports not
to be hurt in any way, though she re-
ceived a severe nervous shock, from
which she has almost recovered. John
Tschannerl, of Harvester avenue,
whose face and hands were cut by
pieces of broken glass from the car
windows, is not so seriously hurt as
was at first thought. He was up and
about yesterday. MotOrman Mattson,
of the East Seventh street electric car,
could not be found by DR. Robillard
yesterday though it is known that he
has the services of a physician. He
was seen to walk from the scene of the
accident, and it is supposed that his in
juries are not serious.

ATHENAEUM SEASON CLOSES
With Fine Performance at the
MetrOpOIitan.

The st. Paul German Athenaeum
company closed it's season last night in
a blaze of glory. 1t was fitting that the
Metropolitan opera house was secured
Tor this occasion, as the work Of the
members of the company was very
much improved by the use and sur
rCundings of a first-class stage and it's
properties. The drama, What God
Has Joined Together Let No Man Put
Asunder," was selected for the closing
or the season, and was the sixth in the
series of the club during the present
season, and, like all Of it's predecessors.
was well rendered in every particular

faVorably with professionals of the
German dramatic stage, and the. same
may be said of Mrs. Fieser. Ed Tietz,
in the dual role of manager and star.
was the hit of the evening, and he was
very agreeably surprised at the end of
the third act when he was called before
the curtain and presented with hand
some diamond pin by Judge Willrich,
who made the presentation speech. The
judge represented a number of Mr.
Tietz's friends and admirers, all of
whom appreciated the work done by
the genial city editor of the Volkszei-
tung. Mr.. Tietz responded feelingIy.
The drama, though one of the heaviest
undertakings of the company during
the season, was one of the best and the
work will be pleasantly remembered
The costumes were as handsome as
any seen on the Metropolitan stage
this season. Manager Tietz, Andrew
Heckler and the other enthusiastic
members of the company, as we'll as
the whole Athenaeum society, can be
congratulated on the successful close
of it's first season. The company will
keep up active service during the sum-
mer and be prepared for an early open
ing next fall. Several handsome floral
pieces were presented to members Of
the company at last nights perform

EXCITING RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
YESTERDAY ON THE THIRD
STREET HILL.
THREE RIGS IN COLLISION.
MRS. COLBURN, OF 1911 EVER
GREEN AVENUE, is SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
MRS. j. H. sCEURMEIER HURT, TOO.
None of the Party Are, However, BE-
Heved to- BE Dangerously In
jured at All.

An exciting runaway accident, in
which three conveyances were entan-
sled and four persons more or less in
jured, occurred on the Summit avenue
hill, between Third street and Selby
avenue, shortly before 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. George johnson, a
travelling salesman living at Merriam
Park, in company with his wife, was
driving down the hill, when his horse
became frightened and began kicking
viciously. In it's struggles the animal
got one foot over the dashboard and
plunged down the hill on three legs.
Half way down the incline the runa-
way collided with the carriage of
George COlburn, Of 1014 Evergreen
avenue, containing Mr.. and Mrs. Col
burn, their daughter and Mrs. Col
burns sister. The force of the COLI
sion broke away the two side wheels of
the Colburn trap and precipitated the
occupants to the pavement Mr.. Col
burn saved his daughter by holding
her in his arms but was cut about the
hands and right leg by the fall, while
Mrs. COlburn sustained badly sprain-
ed ankle and severe shaking up. I'm
mediately back of the Colburn carriage
was that of Edward L. Schumacher, in
which Mr. Schurmeier, DR.. Smith and
Mrs J. H. Schurmeier, Of ALP Rosabel
street, were driving. When Mrs. Col
burns trap was struck by the runa-
way it swung back onto the Schurmeier
horses, frightening them into a strug-
gle with their driver, which resulted in
the overturning of the carriage. Only
Mrs Schurmeier was hurt, and it is not
thought that her injuries are serious.
When the frightened horse had been
quieted and the broken carriages dis
entangled, the injured persons were
taken to a neighboring residence, where
they were attended by DR.. Goodrich.
Later they were conveyed to their
homes DR.. Goodrich stated that the
full extent of Mrs. Colburn's injuries
could not be determined until today.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson escaped without
injury, though their carriage was badly
damaged.
Yesterday morning a team Of horses
hitched to milk wagon belong to the
Shannon Dairy company ran away at
Marshall and Western avenues. The
wagon was demolished by a collision
with a telegraph post at Western ave-
nue. and Carroll street, and at Van Blu
rem street the horses ran into buggy
driven by Herman Bundy. Mr.. Bundy
was not injured, though his carriage
was somewhat damaged. Herbert
Shannon, the driver of the runaway
team, and companion escaped in
jury by jumping from the wagon when
1t was found the horses could not be
controlled.

to the police station is entered on the
tab, and none of the young women are
booked as belonging to the class to
which Chief Goss referred. They may
conclude to change the charge if it
looks squally today. Each woman
claimed to be respectable, and, with
one exception, was so recorded. The
exception, May Morris, was even given
the benefit of doubt, and registered
as occupation none"
The raid was the subject of much
discussion among Mr. Heclzler's Ger
man friends yesterday, some of whom
are in the habit Of taking their fam
lilies to his place afternoons and even
1ngS, and the action of the police
was roundly censured
"A prominent attorney, in speaking Of
the recent course Of Mayor Doran and
the police, said last evening: This
raid on Mr.. Heckler's place is in keep
ing with the mayors attitude toward
the concert halls and possesses just
ABOUT as much warrant There is no
ordinance to prohibit women from per-
forming in concert halls, and the po-
ice nor the mayor nor any one else has
any legal right to close those places.
1t is purely arbitrary on Mayor Dor
ans part and an injustice to which
those concerned should not submit The
same applies to the raid on the Ster-
ling. Women have a perfect legal
right in saloons. and that charge
against those women is not worth the
time taken to register it. AS for the
charge of disOrderly conduct, if there
was great noise or disturbance, vul-
gar language or any act to disturb the
public peace, the arrest might stand.
but without such it is groundless.
There is an ordinance against women
OF ill-repute frequenting saloons, but
even test of that law would, beyond
doubt, prove its unconstitutionality.
Lieut.. Babe and Sergeant Ross went
down the line" Saturday night, after
raiding Mr. Heckler's place 1t would
not do to stop there they thought
80 they flied the central station with
men and women arrested on the charge
OF disOrderly conduct. At Ninth and
jackson, with the assistance of Officer
McEllistrom, they descended upon a
negro habitaiOn, securing two white
men and three dusky females Scarce
ly was this trip completed than Lieut..
,, Bahe summoned Officer Perro to as
SlSt in the arrest of Charles Smith and
Francis La Clair from Seventh street
block. Both were locked up on the
! charge Of disorderly conduct. Once
! more when Lieut.. Babe, Sergeant Ross
! and Officer Perro got together they
added to their nights work by ar
resting A. jackson and Marie Jackson,
who will also face the vigilant blue
coats in the municipal court today on
the charge of disOrderly conduct John
Sanders and Betty Taylor fell under
the observation of Sergeant Ross and

RECIPROCITY WITH GOD.
Rev. j. stout Urges 1t on His Con-
SregafiOn.

''Divine Reciprocity" was the topic
under which Rev. j. f. Stout denom-
mated sermon on the human treat
ment of the body and the soul, deliv-
cred at First M. E. church yesterday.
Among other things, he said:
When we make a study of practical
life in the matter Of expense we shall
discover the emphasis which humanity
as a whole places on different things.
The largest sum expended is for vice,
for liquors and Stimulants of every
sort. The next is for luXuries, and the
next for necessaries such as bread and
meats, and the next and much smaller
sum is for education, and the last and
much the least is for the religious life
of the race, and that includes ethics
which are necessary to all safety in
national and municipal life.
We should allow to our spiritual we'll
being the highest place, since it is of
the utmost Importance.
We should give to it a definite pro-
portion of our attention and support.
No other plan would be in harmony
with our belief.
The proportion should certainly nor
be less than that recognized by the
Jewish church, which Is at least a tenth
Of the income. The proportion then
would be: Sustenance and shelter, five
tenths; enjoyments, twO-tenths; intel
HG9nce or education, tWO-tenthS; and
religion, one-tenth. Any less proper
ton would be out Of all harmony with
the situation. The obligation of the
gospel furnished at such cost is beyond
comparison, and if an ancient Jew, with
his light, could see his way to give
one-tenth, what shall be said of the
Christian, with his privileges and view
of the truth, who moved by love, which
is the highest motive, fails to do as
we'll.
The divine side, or Gods return for
proportionate giving, is with gospel
natural channels, but there is no doubt
that it is returned. There are two mo-
tives to which God appeals to his peo-
pie for the carrying on of his work !;
one is self-interest, and to this he GER
tainly appeals. We may say we do not
believe it, but certainly God promises
that he who so gives shall find it to
his own material interest. If he trusts
God enough to honor him with his sub
stance, then God Will in providential
ways more than make 1t up to him.
Certainly this promise is general, and
would not cover all cases of financial
panics and false business methods, but
il is true as certainly as righteousness
tendeth to life, and he that pursueth
evil pursueth it to his own hurt" This
law is recognized to be true. even
though there are many righteous who
die young, and many evil who live
long and seem in all externaIs to thrive.
On this one assurance of God, given us
again and again in the Word of God
we can afford to do our part in pro-
portionate giving.

Captured Some Wolf Cubs.

Fred Elftman, a resident Of White Bear
lake, while hunting a few days ago in the
Wildwood, came upon a small wolf cub, about
four weeks old. The cub made for a hole
and disappeared but Elftman made up his
mind to find out where he went. He secured
a shovel, and. with the assistance Of a
friend dug a large space around the hole
and was finally rewarded by finding nest of
five wolf cubs all huddled to gether. He
captured the nest and brought them to town
yesterday but was very much surprised when
he learned that his reward was only 81 a
cub Four Of the cubs were alive but the
fifth had to be killed in attempt to cap
ture 1t. as it fought viciousy. Mr.. Elftman
hopes to be able to secure a purchaser for
some of the live cubs, and thus secure more
and will return later

MUST NOT FORGET GOD.
That Is the Secret of True Sabbath
Observance.

Elder H. F. Phelps, pastor of the Ad-
ventist church Of this city, spoke last
evening on the Mature and Object Of
the Sabbath Institution, and What
Constitutes Proper Sabbath Observ-
ance." The speaker was thankful that
he was connected with a people that
was interested in proper Sabbath OBJ
servance, according to the true intent
of the institution. Elder Phelps said
that it was impossible for anyone to
understand the true nature and divine
obligations Of the Sabbath. nor even
what constitutes proper observance OF
the Sabbath, without willingly placing
himself in accord with the institution
as it is. This is to say that the Sabbath
truth, with all other Bible truths, is
OF spiritual nature, and spiritual
things are only to be spiritually dis
cerned. 1t becomes evident that the
man must become of the same nature
as these spiritual truths. He must be
changed by the converting power OF
the spirit of God; he must be made a
new creature in Christ Then, and only
then, can person discern the true ma
ture Of the Sabbath. Yielding himself
to the influence of the Holy Spirit. he
can know what proper Sabbath obserV-
ance is.
Inasmuch as the Sabbath was first
given to man in his innocency, before
Ae Hdu SlIHeU, While ne was yet Splr-
ttual being, with all his being in har-
mony with God; inasmuch as the Sab
bath was given by the Creator, who is
a spirit, spiritual being; inasmuch as
the command to observe the Sabbath
was placed in the bosom of the law, Of
which it is said THE law is spiritual,
it follows that the Sabbath is spiritual
in it's very nature, and can only be
spiritually discerned. And it's observ-
ance must be spiritual, not merely in
the letter of the Sabbath
That which made the Sabbath holy
was the presence Of the Creator, the
Lord Of glory, in resting upon it, The
presence Of Christ made the Sabbath
holy. The Sabbath was then given to
man, to the man Adam, and through
him to all the race of mankind, as a
sign that am your Lord your sancti-
fer" as sign that the presence OF
Christ in the believer would make him
holy just as the presence Of Christ
had made the Sabbath holy. And il
man had never forgotten the Sabbath,
there could never have been such a
being as an idolator on the face Of the
earth.
