MUCH STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Horse That Was Swallowed Alive
by a Hair from Its Own Tail.

Baltimore American.
From the Southern home of Senator Quay
comes the following letter from VeraciOuS
correspondent:
Being an ex-soldier and having only fif-
teen months to serve to acquire title to a
quarter section Of land, l went to Florida
in 1885 to put my plans into execution. Not
being posted as to the landmarks, had to
hire settler to locate the land for me, and
we nad TO go ABOUT elgnt mics through me
woods over bad roads, with no bridges. We
went horseback, and in crossing a stream 1
noticed that my friends horses tail caught
III an old pine stump, pulling hair from
the tail and leaving the hair fast to the
stump
LAS you know, a horse hair will turn to a
snake when in water, and made up my
mind to watch that particular hair. So,
after locating my land and getting big
house built, took my gun and started out
on a hunt, and during my rambles l came
to the stream that my friend and 1 had
crossed, and sure enough, there was the
horse-hair snake as big as my thumb and
stump, ] let him alone and continued my
hunt, bagging some quail, a rabbit and two
squirrels, which gave me good mess or
fresh meat. AS l was very busy for the
next three weeks, had no time to visit my
pet snake, so you may judge of my surprise
when on my next visit to find the snake
as big a stovepipe and over forty feet
long. AS / was going to have log-rolling
the next week, kept my secret so that we
could have some fun after we were through
our days work. l got everything ready ana
sent out my invitations. My friend that
showed me the land came with the rest of
them and told me that his horse was lost
or stolen. We all pitched in and did a good
days work and had a good dinner l told
them my secret and we went to the branch.
You can imagine our surprise when we
found the snake as big as a saw log, with a
bulge in the middle as big as a sugar barrel.
well, to make a long story short, we
killed the snake and cut him open and my
friends lost horse tumbled out We thought
the horse was dead until he commenced to
move, and soon ran around all right. and
my friend rode him home / have heard a
great deal about horse-hair snakes, and this
is the only instance / know of where q
horse was swallowed alive by a hair from

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Permit me herein to add a brief bit to the
words already said regarding the Life OF
Oliver P. Morton by Hon. William Dudley
FoulkeI Incidentally it has been my great
pleasure to read the advance sheets of the
first volume of this biography, and it is
not extravagant to say there is no work of
its character in our country that exceeds
this one in strong. fundamental biography.
The work has the on-and-on spirit of a
novel; showing, through the life of our
great war Governor, at what cost Of strug-
gle and sacrifice and wavering hope and I'M
waveTing faith Indiana was saved to the
Union, and from what might have been an
everlasting blot upon her fair name. 1t
reflects through this great life history OF
our State that could never be told in words
"a history that is justly freshened or made
anew in our minds by this work / do not
believe any citizen Will read this timely
book without turning again to his daily toll
with more of that faith in our State and
Nation which makes men the jealous
guardians Of a glory which has cost so
much in sacrifice and blood. 1t is also pecu-
larry fitting that the biographer and pub
fishers, as | understand, have so arranged
the sale of this work that a royalty goes
to Governor Morton's widow, who, since the
recent death of her son, unfortunately finds
herself in very straitened circumstances.
can but believe that every citizen of Indiana
will gladly welcome this opportunity to
pay a needed tribute to the widow of Gov
ernor Morton. who indeed was the compan-
ion of his great struggles in the interests
of commonwea- h, and at time when
his great struggles were our safeguard and
redemption Indeed we owe a debt to her
far beyond the reach of the benefit this
royalty comprehends, and il is 10 be hoped
that all will be mindful OF the good fortune
that is ours in having this opportunity to
befriend her. A CITIZEN.

The Capital City Club has once more
reached the top of the heap in the Indian
apolis Bowling League, but the margin be-
tween it and its nearest competitors is a
narrow one, and the race is most interest
ing The admirers of each club go with it
from alley to alley and the amount of
roofing is increasing.
In the Tenpin League, the Columbus and
Calumets are still together in first place,
but as they will play each other on the
Oneida alleys next Friday evening, there
is a probability that one or the other will
go into second place. 1t will be a battle
royal, while the Deweys will strain every
muscle to push nearer the top. The action
by the directors of the Tenpin League in
barring from their teams those who roll
in the L. B. L. will be followed this week
by like action on the part Of the directors
of the latter league. A meeting has been
called, to be held at the Independent Turn
err alleys, and as the action has been taken
by the one league, it is not probable that
there will be any opposition to a similar
rule. The standing of the leagues is as fol-

GOSSIP OF THE TOWN.
Little Incidents That Make Up a City's
Daily Life.

The street-car conductor, on market morn
ings, has something to think about, for in
addition to ringing the bell, collecting fares
and doing other small jobs required by the
company, he has the woman with the mar
ket basket to look after. The women in
Indianapolis who go to market are numer-
Gus. Rich and poor alike throng the mar
ket house. Those who have no carriages
and those who walk, bearing burdens heavy
enough TO break their backs, are two
classes, but there is a. third, and she is
the greatest in number. This is the woman
who Tugs her basket to the street car The
conductor helps her on with it, and when
she signals for the car to stop at her street
the conductor helps her off with it. In
summer time he journeys along the run
Mag board many times during the morning
to assist with the baskets, and do you know
the wSmen never thank him? one lady
knows this TO be fact, for she has studied
the woman with the market basket and the
Street-car conductor for a long time, and
she has yet to see the first woman thank
the conductor for the courtesy. One morn
ing she said to- the conductor, do the
women ever thank, you for that service p
And his reply was, mo, they seem to think
Il part OF my job"
The motorman talked one evening at the
line. IT'S a wonder to me that this com
pany does not furnish time cards TO the
public in this city. These cars run every
twelve minutes and the other lines every
eight, but there is no one along the line
who knows this Women and men stand
on these corners cold mornings waiting for
the car, and unless they inquire of the con-
ductor as 10 the time between cars they
have long unnecessary wait. A time card
would save time for the citizens and for the
company.
Long and learned articles have been writ

one has experience in that line every day.
A well-l1nown Washington-street merchant
was speaking about an instance that had
come to him. A gentleman walked into the
store and made a purchase. He gave a
fve-dollar bill to the clerk, and waited for
his change. When 1t came he insisted that
he had given the clerk a ten-dollar bill
The clerk insisted that IS was all that he
had given The slip sent to the desk was

He gave us all goodbye cheerily
At the first dawn of day;
We dropped him down the side full drearily
When the light died away.
It's dead dark watch that he's a-keeping there.
And long, long night that lags a-creeping there,
Where the Trades and the tides roll over him,
And the great ships go by.
He's there alone, with green rocking him
For thousand miles round
He's there alone, with dumb things hooking him,
And we re homeward bound.
It's long, lone watch that he's a-keeping there,
And a dead cold night that lags a-creeping there,
While the months and the years roll over him,
And the great ships go by.
I wonder if the tramps come near enough,
AS they thrash to and fro,
And the battle ships bells ring clear enough
To be heard down below;
If through all the lone watch that he's a-keeping
there,
And the long. cold night that lags a-creeping
there,
The voices of the saior-men shall comfort him
When the great ships go by.

She told the story, and the whole world wept
At wrongs and crdelties it had not known
But for this fearless woman's voice alone.
She spoke TO consciences that long had slept;
Her message, Freedom clear reveille, swept
From needles howell to complacent throne.
Command and prophecy were in the tone,
And from its sheath the sword of justice leapt
Around two peoples swelied a fiery wave,
But both forth TRANSPORTED from the
flame.

And blest be she who in our weakness came

for the payment Of pensions for the fiscal
year 1893 was $40, 600 900. Eight million,

The annexation of Hawaii and the
changed relations of the United States to
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, re-
sulting from the war. compel the prompt
adoption of a maritime policy by the United
States. There should be established regular
and frequent steamship communication, en-
Outraged by the United States, under the
American flag, with the newly-acquired ISL
ands Spain furnished to its colonies at an
annual cost of about two millions of dol
lars, steamship lines communicating With
a portion of the worlds markets as well as
with trade centers of the home government.
The United States will not undertake to do
less. 1t is our duty to furnish the people
Of Hawaii with facilities under national
control for their export and import trade.
It will be conceded that the present stua-
ton calls for legislation which should be
prompt, durable and liberal.
The part which American merchant YES
sells and their seamen performed in the war
with Spain demonstrates that this service,

should be encouraged in every constitutional
