MUSICALE GIVEN BY RATTLERs.
Pennsylvnnin-No Affidavit

A special to the New York World from
SusGuehanna. Pa. says: Talk about
snakes" remarked an old Long Eddy snake
killer: there are more snakes along the
Delaware river section than ever squirmed
in Ireland before good ST. Patrick gave
them the grand bounce.
"A Port Jervis friend, who digs roots.
and l We're out on the hills. wanted
to get a few big rattlers for a New York
museum. There were mathematics all
around US, but they did not seem to be
very savage. We would scare them up
by throwing big stones down the noun
tain. and they would sneak away from
us. Near a bluestone quarry We heard
a strange noise. or rather a bog lot of
minute we couldn't have told where they
came from. The racket was more than
that of a country church choir.
The noise increased every step We took
up hill. By the time we got to the sum-
nit, overlooking the Delaware river. it
was little less than terrific. Looking down
the slopes We saw a sight that took the
cake. On a big rock and moss mound was
a regular rattiesnake reunion and concert.
Thu rock and ground were Just yellow With
them. and If there were one there were
six hundred snakes in the gang They
were of all sizes and ages.
The two oldest %rattlers of the crowd
were in the center, and the other snakes
were all gathered about them. Each and
every snake had coiled himself up in such
a manner as to allow his rattles and tails
good play. and they were rafting away as
II lot wages. lnelr wicked tongues were
darling out and in. keeping time with the
music of their tails.
"All of a sudden. with an awful flourish,
the rafting stopped. The two old snakes
reared their heads at least three feet from
the ground and looked all around over the
field. like generals on a battle field. After
seeing that all the gang was ready for bust
ness they sounded a note like a country
fiddler tuning up, and the whole crowd
began their concert again. Jimminy Peter,
what a racket 1t was.

The death OF Lewis Carroll (the Rev.

for children and how universal was his
shyness and dignity to others. Lewis Car
rolf was very particular as to his personal
appearance. His alert figure and general
vigor conveyed the impression that he was
much younger than 65. He never wore an
overcoat in his life and continued to take
long c~onstitutionals to the end. The doctor

He lived in retirement and would never

immense and continuous sale at very high
