Died Playing .sHome Sweet Home. :"

VIM. Alexander, a colored convict
died suddenly in the penitentiary at
Allegheny last week of what was pro-
nounced apoplexy. He was sitting in
his cell playing on his guitar. He
had struck up "Home Sweet Home, +"
and as he was playing the last bar
of the familiar tune there was sud-
den silence followed by few faint
means that told the man was dying.
He was sent to the penitentiary for
murder from Fayette county and was
serving a fifteen years sentence.

SEASON CLOSED.
Foot Ball Team has Disbanded
after a Most Successful
Season.

Only one Defeat and that when the
Team was at its Worst Glorious
Victory and the Championship of the
SOuth-HOw it was Won-PrOspects
for Next Year-Finaucial part Of the
Season not a Success-C0ach next
Year-Men who will Graduate and
Other Notes.
The foot ball season ends over the
country to morrow The University
team has no date for that time and
has disbanded after the most sue
cessful season that it has ever had.
The men who were connected with
it have made record Of which they
should be very proud. The whole
state is proud of them.
They have played student team.
No funny business of having out
siders hire team as is practiced at
w. d j. has been in vogue here. The
men are bona fde students and are
not here for the sole purpose of play
ing ball.
There were seven games played
during the season and six OF these
were victories One was lost to P.
A. C. with crippled team when the
men were in the worst condition
that they were in all season. Had
the game been played at a different
time the tale would have been differ
ent
The victory over Virginia is the
most glorious that has ever been
won by University team. They
defeated rival who had disdaired
them and won the championship of
the South from a team that had new
er lost it before and they thought
that it was inyincible south of the
Mason and Dixon line. The whole
state glories in this achievement.
The score in all but two of the
victories was six to nothing. The
team did not attempt to run up a
large score on any team, being con
tent with whipping themand then
letting it go at that.
Financially the season was not a
success and it closed with the team
about two hundred dollars in the
hole.
The outlook for next year is said
to be very good. Many of the men
who are on the team now will not be
here. White will graduate as will
Krebbs and Donley. WEIGH will not
be back Sweeney will graduate and
and several others will either gradu-
uate or quit school. However from
the scrubs who are being developed
and from the new material which is
to come in fast team will be made
up. Many think that it will be bet
ter next year than it was this time
but they are perhaps over confident.
There is more hope for coach
next year than there was this and
the athletic young men may be sure
that they will not have all the OBJ
stacles to buck next time that they
found in the path this fall

What Is most annoying to both officers

The naval reserves at the capes who are

nailed a Spanish feet coming and caused a
panic on the war vessels. No such thing
occurred. Tha foundation for the story was
that Adjutant Phillip of the local fort re-

without lights had gone out after dark. He
mtsread it as saying coming In ami inform
ed Commodore Schley. He was told that
the Scorpion IVES scouting for the squadron
and would take note OF any strang ers.
There was go gun fired and no call to
quarters.
The various kilograms announcing that
Commodore Deweys feet and r9en had
not materially suffered created great ex-

doubt, 1t being deemed hardly possible
that the four hours engagement and the
loss OF the entire Spanish feet could be
accomplished in so easy manner.

Snakes I'm Costa Rica.
From Forest and Strecm.


Costa Rica mean the Rich Coast. and in
most respects it is rich. particularly in the
snake family, the most deadly of which is
the terrible Culebra de Sangre COR blood
snake).
This variety of reI tile does not grow to a
large size, and perhaps for that very rea-
son is most to be dreaded, as il is not SO
easily seen. 1t is red and resembles a
large swollen vein, ready to burst with
blood.
A short time ago 1 stepped on one of
these snakes, and like fasn he struck
at me, but as | had pair of leather leg
gings no harm was done. though it was a
close call. Not so fortunate was g poor
day laborer who was bitten by the same
variety of snake. The man was working
for neighbor of mine and i did not see
him until the day after he was bitten.
The moment l heard about IL | went over
to see the poor fellow, taking with me a
remedy for snake bite, thinking it would
do no harm to try II, anyway. When We
reached the mems camp the sight that met
our eyes vas a sickening one.
The man was bleeding from his nose.
mouth and ears; also from his finger and
toe nails. How a man could bleed as much
as he had and still live was a marvel He
had been bitten in The foot: only one fang
of the serpent had entered the flesh. The
manager of the estate had given him sew
eral doses of curarine, a medicine made in
Colombia. and much used here in Central
America for poisonous bites. We also gave
him the medicine which | mad brought with
me. which made him vomit profusely-
In a few hours time the bleeding STOPPED.
ard next day the poor fellow wss sent to
the hospital. No one expected that he
would live, as the bite is considered dead
iy; but. strange to say, he did recover, and
in months time was at work once more.
If both fangs of the snake had entered the
foot instead of one he would undoubtedly
have died. / have known a horse 10 die
| in few aff h4ip hy of
the snakes. In the last three years two
men in my district have died from snake
bite and in hunting this country one must
ALWAYS keep a sharp lookout for snakes.
