An Indiana Man Does Away With HUI
man Labor.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Hop picking is one of the principal indus
tries of this county, and gives employment
to several hundred persons each year. In
1896 the employers had considerable trouble
with the pickers over the question of wages
The pickers wished TO be paid by the hour
but the hop growers wished to maintain the
present scale by the place. The matter as a
general proposition is still unsettled except
by one hop grower, Jacob Presley, on Deer
Lick bottoms. He did not hire any pickers
at all this year. and yet his hops are all
picked and cured. The story Is a curious
one, and begins in 1885, when Mr.. Presley
first noticed two yellow snakes in his hop
field. His first impulse was to kill them, but
their actions were SO odd that he stopped to
watch them. The snakes would climb the
hop poles and pick every blossom, throwing
extract certain amount Of hop from the
stalk and pass on to the next one. This
set Mr.. Presley to thinking If the snakes
could not be utilized instead of men and
women
In the spring of 1895 he found a nest of
thirteen yellow snakes down by the creek,
and. capturing them alive, he took them
home. lh the fall he tried them, and with
such success that he determined to use
them this year. Accordingly, he hired no
hands, to the great surprise of his neigh
bors. Instead he turned the snakes loose,
putting 80 baskets on the ground to catch
the hops as they fell. The experiment was
CURED the deadly enmity of the Hop Pick
ers Union, the president of which, Bob
Habernut, promises to put boycott on
Presley's snake-p picked hops this winter.

AUXILIARY WARSHIP RAMMED,
Yacht Syren Run Down By British
Tramp Steamer.

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 6.-The first seri-
Gus accident to any vessel of the auxil-
larry navy occurred at Hampton Roads
when the converted yacht Syren was
rammed by a British tramp steamer.
The little vessel, which closely reSem-
bled the Gloucester, was just swinging
to her anchorage point in the lee of the
Dolphin and as she came broadside
across the channel, the big steamship
Topaz, coming out from Norfolk di-
rectly in the Syren's wake, struck her
with terrific force bows on.
The Syren was thrown almost on her
beam ends. The steamship promptly
backed out and continued on her
course out the capes at full speed with
out stopping to ascertain the damage
she had done or to render assistance.
The captain will be proceeded against
at the next port he puts into.
The Syren at once signaled the flag
ship, "Rammed. filling rapidly"
Beach yourself was wigwagged from
the San Francisco in reply and the
Syren promptly made for shore at full
speed. She glided upon the sand with
out injury and was Immediately sur
rounded by launches and boats, or
dered to her assistance by the flagship
Fore and aft anchors were rugged to
hold her and an examination of her in
juries revealed great jagged hole
amidships below the waterline. 1t will
be temporarily repaired until the YES
sci can be locked at the navy yard.
Her upper works, were also stove in

up their quarters at the Hotel 1nglaterra,

YELLOW FEVER OUTBREAK.
Thirty-fve Cases at orwood, But Nc
Deaths Reported.

Washington, Sept. ga report re-
ceived at the marine hospital service
from Surgeon Harter shows that the
total number of yellow fever cases
which have made their appearance at
Orwood, Miss, is 50, but up to this
time there have been no deaths. The
disease has been traced, according to
Surgeon Harter, from Orwood to Tay-
Tor, a small town on the Illinois Cen
trail, where five cases were reported on
July 20. Some of the persons who had
been affected afterward removed to
Orwood, and from there the disease is
believed to have been contracted. The
disease is of a very mild type, like that
on the Mississippi coast, and no danger
is apprehended by the officials that it
will become serious in character.

BROKE INTO THE HOUSE.
Professor Clark of the High School
a Victim of Thieves.

The home of Prof. A. O. Clark, principal
of the High school, was broken into some
time yesterday afternoon between the
hours of 2 and p. M, but the thief only
secured d four-ounce silver watch case
The occupants of the house were all out
at the time Prof. Clark attending to his
duties at the High school rooms and Mrs
Clark making calls.
The thief probably entered through a
door by means of a skeleton key, since
the locks on both the front and rear doors
had been tempered with. Although he
probably succeeded in opening both doors
he closed and fastened them upon taking
his departure.
When Prof. Clark returned about :
clock his keys wouldn't turn the locks.
and it was after some inconvenience that
ne got into the house: He found the house
but slightly disturbed and missed nothing
further than the watch case. which was
taken from a dresser, in a room on the
upper floor A book case had been pried
open, but none of the contents were taken.
Prof Clark had just had the works of
his watch transferred to a gold case,
which he was carrying. He had very little
money or valuable jewelry in the house at
the time. None of the neighbors saw any
suspicious person on the premises during
the afternoon
