Carved His Epitaph and Died.

From the Co1rer-Journal
John Harmon died here from the bite
of a. rattlesnake."
This is inscription on beech tree
standing onethe knobs. in Monroe township,
back of Jeffcrsonvile. A date once fol-
lowed the words, but it is now indistinct.
There is a strange story connected with
the inscription. An old resident relates it..
Years ago. when that section of Indiana
was little explored. and when the heavy
bush was the dwelling place of the wild
turkey, deer and rattlesnake, John Har-
mon started to Charlestown to attend
court He was armed with an old-fash-
i"ned rifle. A rattler bit Harmon's leg
Harmon killed the reptile. Then he began
to prepare for death. 1t was he who
carved the words in lighter lines on the
tree. with the request beneath. long since
oohterated by the trees growth. TO bury
him on the spot. A few days later Har-
mon S body was found. grave was dug
by the tree and there it can be seen today >

A Floating Snail.
he Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is a small snail which is so fond of
the sea that it never comes to land, and il
builds such a capital boat for itself and its
eggs that while large ships are sinking and
steamers unable to face the storm it
tosses about in perfect safety.
The little snail is of violet color and is
therefore called Ianthina. 1t has small
shell and there projects from the under part
of the body a long, tongue-like piece of
flesh. This is the raft. and it is built upon
most scientific principles, Tor it has compart-
ments in it for air 1t is broad and the air
compartments are underneath, so that it
cannot capsize.
Moreover. the snail knows how to stow
away its cargo, for the Oldest eggs and
those which hatch the soonest are placed
In the center and the lghtest and newest
on the sides of the raft The Ianthina fills
Its own air compartments by getting a glob-
ule of air underneath its head, the body is
then curved downward beneath the raft
and, the head being tilted on one side the
air rushes in and fills the spaces. 1t feeds
on beautiful little jelly fish, which has a
fiat, raft-like form with pretty little sail
upon it, and they congregate in multitudes
when the sea is calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed upon the
northwestern coast of France, and when
they are handled they give out violet dye

IGLESIAS AT WASHINGTON.
President of Costa Rica Shown the
Usual Attention.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-President Igle-
sias of Costa Rica arrived here this af-
ternoon, and although travelling incog-
nito, he was accorded all the honors
fitting to the visit of a sovereign gov

and accompanied them to Washington.
On their arrival here they We're met at

Paris, Nov. 23.-At the request Of the
Spanish pea se commissioners there will
be no joint session today, pending in
Estructions from Madrid The date Of
the next meeting is not fixed.
The postponement of today is regard
ed as a hopeful sign that the treaty
will be signed. Although the Madrid
government had not yet received the
text Of the American ultimaUum, the
Spanish received quite enough by tele-
graph on Monday night to enable them
TO instruct their commissioners to re-
tire were such their intentions.
The belief was confidently expressed
by several OF the American commits
sioners in conversation with the CORE
Spondent of the Associated Press today
that before the time expired the an
swer, Monday next, the Spaniards
would acquiesce in the United States
Philippine offer and that ultimately the
treaty will be signed by all the Spanish
commissioners. 1t is true that the
course which Senior Montero Rios, pres
ident of the Spanish commission, will
follow, is still uncertain, as he con-
tinues to play to the gallery" but q
leading member of the American COM
mission says he will sign with the
other SpaniaTds. In any case his place
on the commission will be speedily
flied by Senor Leon Castillo, the
Spanish ambassador here
Senor Montero Rios sent a commune
cation to the American commissioners
last eCening, asking a number of ques-
tions. The most important of them
and TO get an answer to which the
letter was undoubtedly written, was
tucked away in the middle of the let
ter. It asked, in effect, if the Ameri-
cans really meant that the ultimaturr
must be answered by Monday. The
SD2niards were assured that such was
the intent, and the answer has cleared
the air. A member of the Spanish
Commission today assured the GORE.
Aspondent of the Associated Press thai
the next meeting Of the commissioners
Awill take place on Friday or Saturday
taand that Spain's answer will then be
the last she will make, and that it vii
be a definite conclusion Of the matter
in hand.
This utterance is looked. upon as in.
dicating that Spain Will sign the treaty
of peace.

GOMPERS SEES M'KINLEY.
Wants the President to Recommend
Labor LEGISLATION.

Washington, Nov 23-Mr. Samuel ].
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, accompanied by
the secretary of the federation, had
an hours conference with the president
today in regard to legislation in the in
terest of labor now pending in con-
gress. Mr.. Gompers' purpose was to
secure, il possible, the endorsement of
these measures in the presidents forth
coming message to congress. The pres
ident was deeply interested in Mr..
Gonpers' remarks, and without indi-
eating What, if any. specific recommen-
dations would be made in his message
on these subjects, said that he regard
ed it the duty of every man, whether
in public or private life, to use every
effort in his power to improve the con-
dition of the Workingman and to bridge
the chasm between him and his en-
ployer.
Mr.. Gompers favored the eight-hour
law, which limits a days work to eight
hours, whether the work is being done
directly by the government or by con-
tractors, and the bill having for its OBJ
ject the improvement in the condi-
ton OF American seamen. He also
urged the Lodge immigration bill,
which limits immigration to persons
who can read and write, and the con-
vict labor bill, which prohibits trans
portation of products of convict labor
from one state to another.
