ADVENTURES OF A SNAKE.

One day, through an accident, three
o. the reptiles in a Boston 200" es-
capped. One was quickly caught, and a
second was discovered after a pro-
longed search under one Of the boilers
in the basement all colied up in nice,
warm spot. The third, however, was
never found until last evening, when he
fell from the roof of the OH Public Iii
brary building. 1t Is supposed that he
has been asleep all winter coiled up
about some warm chimney on that or a
neghborng building. The last few days
of warm sunshine warned the serpent
that summer was at hand, whereupon
he proceeded to shed his skin and ap-
pear in a new spring suit. His skin is
bright and clean and beautifully
marked, and his eye is clear and snap
ping, all of which, together with his
general liveliness, is a sign to the snake
men that he has just cast off his winter
coat.
There was, naturally, considerable
scattering of the crowd about the
building last evening when his snake
ship tumbled down to the ground. He
was harmless, and stunned from the
fall from the gutter, whepe he had been
squirming along in search of something
to eat. He was easily captured by a
couple of patromen, hustled unceremo-
niously into a bag, and imprisoned in a
cell at station No. in the bottom of an
iron ash-barrel, which the policemen
took good care was we'll covered and
made amply secure by q big weight on
top.
F.. c. BostWich, formerly of the zoo,
is now at the exposition in Omaha
Neb. Thomas Farley is his eastern
agent. and this morning Mrs. Farley
and one Of the employees went to the
station-house to get the snake. Cap
tain Wyman rang for patrolman, and
asked him to bring up the snake for
the lady" The patrolman replied that
he would bring up the barrel if he liked.
Evidently he did not care to handle the
serpent, an unknown quantity to him.
At this point Henry ellis, an old hand
at the business, who has been with
Bostwick for three years, and bears the
scars of animal fights, relieved the pa
troln1ans anxiety. He went down into
the cell, and reached down into the bar
rel, catching his snakeship by the
| throat. L he ldlIeE TGlalldUeu Dy LWlSC-
ing his head, opening his capacious
mouth, and fastening his teeth in Gil
lis right hand. This exchange of COM
pliments did not disturb ellis, who
wound him once around his neck and
held him at arms length. In that
fashion he carried him across the street
to the hotel, where he was boxed up
and sent to Omaha, marked 'live
stock" ellis said this morning that
the wound was painful, but he antici-
pated no serious results. After the rep
tile had been boxed up he went to a
physician and had the wound cauter-
lied. 1t shows plainly the marks OF
each sharp tooth of the vicious snake.
There are thirteen distinct wounds
where the upper teeth sank into the
flesh, and three in a group showing
where the lower teeth took hold. On
the palm of the same hand ellis has a
big scar, where thesharp claws of a
South American puma had mangled the
fesh.-Boston Transcript.

HEROINEs OF HOPE AND LOVE.
A Reply to Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

A Reply to Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
By Aisle.
You say tits "a story that takes ones
breath,
How the men rowed out in the face of
DEATH"
But what Of the women who stay at home,
Waiting for donors which never come?
Watching as only woman may
From the fall Of twilght'till break of day?
Pulling the oars through pitiless showers
OF blame and shame for weary hours?
And through many long and dreary night,
Trimming the lamp for the window light.
Steering her harque, tho breakers roar,
Fighting to keep the wolf from the door.
Without hope of reward-A woman's fate!
For glory man will do and dare,
But in pain and suffering, the lions share,
Falls to the woman, who, patiently stands
Holding the anchor with bleeding hands.
Ali there's many a story fair to read
That's written where darkened pathways
lead;
And many song that Is sweet to sing
While we wait for the bells Of heaven to
ring.
And many crown on many a brow
Which our dull eyes are not seeing now.
But when the mists shall have cleared
away,
'Gep Islleq ne sn IoJ suMBp sIeql puy
Then will the crowns into full view come
That are hidden now In dingy home
True, they will not be of yellow gold
And may not a glstening diamond hold,
Nor yet of frosted fretwork rare
Will be the mark on each brow of care;
But the star of Hope will brighter shine
Than ever diamond from deepest mine;
And the courage and faith that is born Of
love
Will be lasting and true as the stars above.
But so long as the sun shall shine in the
sky
There'lf be victime of wrong to suffer and
die;
And long after rumors Of wars shall cease
On every hand will be martyrs Of peace.

CAPTAIN FRANK NJ. ETHRIDGE.

schooner Yale, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a dispatch from John Booking,
the mate of the vessel, from Fort Mon

OBITU1RY.

The Late Mrs. Evelyn Manning Waite.
The funeral services of Mrs. Evelyn
Manning Waite, wife of ex-Lieutenant
Richard w. Waite, took place yester-
day afternoon at her late home on
Avon street. The house was filed to
overlooking with sorrowing friends and
there was a splendid profusion of beau
tiful floral tributes, which bore their
silent and yet eloquent testimony to
the high regard in which the deceased
was held as wife, teacher and friend.
Rev. j. A. Elder, pastor of the Hope
Baptist church, of which the deceased
was an active and highly useful mem
Der, officiated and in his remarks,
which We're deeply affecting, paid a
beautiful tribute to the life and estima-
Bile character of the deceased. Among
the floral tributes were the following:
one from the former pupils of deceased
and one from the teachers formerly
associated with the deceased at Ed
wards street public school, of which
deceased was for twenty years a
teacher prior to her marriage; one each
from the Christian Endeavor society
the Women's Home Mission society and
the Farther Light society, all of Hope
Baptist church; one from the Misses
Sheridan, teachers who were colleagues
of the deceased; one from ex-Select-
man and Mrs. Philip Hugo; one from
Miss S. d. Brown; one from Mr.. and
Mrs. j. H. Hayden of State street;
one from Mrs. Clark; one from ex-
School Principal Joseph r. French,
who for many years had charge of the
Lowell district, There were many
smaller yet very pretty tributes from
young children. Altogether the flowers
more than filled one of the carriages.
The pallbearers We're Messrs Pauline,
Clark, Cockrill and George H. Priest.
Keller & Son were the undertakers. The
interment was In Evergreen cemetery.
The deceased besides her husband
leaves two children, daughters of her
husband by his first wife, by whom she
was greatly beloved. She was in her
usual health and activity until the day
before her death, when she was seized
with severe pains and DR.. Marvia H.
Smith was summoned. The difficulty
was found to be a tumor, the presence
of which had been unsupported and
an immediate operation was found
necessary as the only hope of saving
her life. The operation was performed
by DR.. Bacon. She regained conscious
ness and seemed about to improve but
after few hours she passed away.

THE democratic Bathgate Pink Paper
is pretty we'll disguised with the Office
seel ing propcnsities Of tho democrats
and independents in Pembina county
and it registers its plant in this fashion:
In 1886 the democratic party was organ
lied on the grand old principles, but
with the pledge to Pembina county that
reforms, honest government and re-
trcnchment should follow it's success. A
few years later the independent party
was formed to correct the evils of the
two old parties, its founders said and
honestly believed. Does the condition
exist today under the control Of these
two parties that has been promised? No.
Was there en- earnest seeking at our
county conventions for the nomination
of men uncontaminated by ring rule?
No, most decidedly not. It was a
scramble for office and those sturdy old
faces that oticiated at the birth of these
parties in our county were not to be seen
OF were turned in sorrowthat fond hopes
and earnest efforts toward general good
had so sadly dwarfcd.

agricultural products have not been,such
as to make men anxious to engage ii
agricultural pursuits. But in spite Of the
depressed prices, tits observed that the
lands Of the west are slowly but surely
passing into the hands of private owners
Tho past year has been somewhat better
for the farmer, and during that time more
than G,OOO,OOO homestead entries have
been made on the public domain Of the
country. It will be readily understood
from these figures that the desirable pub;
lie ands are going pretty rapidly. Dur
ng he year passed 100000 acres Of
public lands were turned over to private
and corporate or semi-public ownership,
thus leaving the hands Of the federal gov
crnment. Nearly a million acres of this
area went to railroads under former
grants by congress which have not yet
been closed by the formal patenting Of
the lands to the companies. Nearly a
million more acres went to states under
grants such as swamp land selections by
acts of congress. But by far the greater
part Of the lands disposed of during the
year went to homestead settlers.

Fusion organs are making a desperate
effort to convince farmers that the state
board of equalization SO increased the
value Of their lands and other property
that their taxes will be largely increased
AS usual, this is simply populist mis-:
representation. The state board Of
equalization increased values of farm
lands in some counties, it is true; and
they decreased values in others, but il
was from the returns of values made by
the assessors and counties aud not an
increase owe the values of previous
years. The various increases and de.
creases were made to equalize the values
of farm lands in various sections of the
state, not to increase taxation. This is
the duty Of the state board, as provided
by law. Farmers will not be taken in by
this populist buncombe.

LIKE all of his. addresses, the brief
statement Of President Mckinley at the
peace jubilee celebration in Chicago,
was a gem. The president said:
ut is gratifying to all of us to know
that this has never ceased to be a wal of
humanity: The last ship that went out
of the harbor OF Havana before war was
declared was an American ship that had
taken to the suffering people of Cuba
the supplies furnished by American
charity, and the first shipto sail into the
harbor of Santiago was another Ameri-
a ship bearing food supplies to the
suffering Cubans.
II am sure it is the universal PRAYER Of
American citizens that justice and hu-
'manity and civilization shall character.
ize the final settlement of peace as they
have distinguished the progress Of the
war.
"My c%ountrymen, the currents of des
tiny flow through the hearts of the PEG
pie. Who will check them? Who will
divert them? Who will stop them? AM
the movements of men, planned by tn
master Of men, will never be interrupted
by the American people,"

The Grand Forks Normanden, which
has been following in the footsteps of the
Grand Forks Herald in its denunciation
Of republican candidates, sees one of the
reasons for Winship's opposition to Hal
land in the fact that Winship was op-
posed by Halland at the republican con
.vention. George would have been a
hearty supporter of Halland-if he had
been the leader of the republican forces.
Normanden is to congratulated upon
being able to see through Winship's
gauzy hypocrisy.

davits from election officials and other
officials in Bismarck, having the custody
of election records, to show that Hon. Il.

opinions from eminent lawyers in the
