Pursued.
Tallahassee, Fla, March 2S.-B. Garner
last week killed a RATHER over seven feet
in length on the Live Oak plantation. Two
days ago he started down the road from
his home when monster rattlesnake was
seen crossing the road about twenty feet
ahead of him. Garner having nothing
with which 10 attack the snake, stopped.
The reptile coiled in the road, ratified a
few times, uncoiled. and started in the d.
rection of Garner, who retreated toward
the house, the snake following so closely
that he killed it with a Winchester rifle
from a window. Taking his double-bar.
relied shotgun Mr.. Garner walked down
the road and dispatched thirty-two youns
rattlers from eight to ten inches long
The mother rather measured feet ;
inches and sported twenty-seven rattles

Deputy Sheriff Holiday of Wayn
county arrived IN IrOnton last Friday
having a warrant for the arrest of Bird.
Smith, against whom the late grand
jury in that county had returned an in
dictment for murder, for the killing OF
one Reuben Thomas at Williamsville
in January. 1897. Mr.. Smith accom-
panied the deputy sheriff to Greenville
that evening, and the following day
gave bond for $40. .000 for his appear
ance at an adjourned term of the
Wayne Circuit Court to be held next
month. From what we have been able
to ascertain Mr.. Smith was wholly JUS
titled in the unfortunate part he was
forced to play in the tragedy that re-
suited in the death of Reuben Thomas.
Smith had charge of Holladay's store
at Williamsville. Thomas, who had
the reputation of being a desperate
character, came into the store and Gre
ated disturbance. In trying to quiet
him, he and Smith had quarrel.
Thomas left saying he would go get
his gun and come back and kill Smith.
He returned in a short time with a
gun, and, just as he was about to en-
ter the store, Smith shot him with a
rifle inficting fatal wound. This, in
brief, is the story of the tragedy as
told at the time. As we have had occa-
sion to remark heretofore, the mOdWS
Operaradi in Wayne county is peculiar
unlike that of any other portion of the
globe. Whether this peculiarly is to
be attributed merely to desire to be
different from the rest of the world, we
do not pretend to say. But on several
occasions we have noticed, and taken
occasion to say, that the mode of pro-
ceedure In dealing out justice in that
county embraces code wholly differ
ent from any other that has come under
our observation. This may not apply
to the present case; still it is peculiar.
Immediately after Thomas death
Smith had a preliminary hearing and
was fully and promptly exonerated.
Since then two grand juries have met,
neither of which found a bill against
him. But in the present month, over
a year after the commission of the act,
an Indictment is returned against Smith
for murder. Legally this is not irreg-
ular, but every one will agree with US
that it is very unusual. Mr.. Smith
and his friends have no doubt of the
result Many of the latter do not be-
lieve the case will ever come to trial,
and if it does they are confident of his
prompt acquittal. Bird. Smith has
been in lronton the past eight months
or more, employed as a salesman for
L. S. Lopez & Sons. In his residence
here he has proven himself a young
man of most excellent qualities, and
has won many friends who sympathize
with and will do all In their power
for him in this unfortunate affair.

The Pope and Rome.

The Osservatore Romano thus ex-
plains why the pope does not appear on
the streets Of Rome: "If the pope went
about in Rome he would inevitably be
made the object of demonstrations of re-
spectful enthusiasm on the part of the
faithful, and by natural reaction these
demonstrations would be followed by
others of hostile character. The pope
would be simultaneously applauded and
Missed and surrounded by tumults and
faction fights. The government would
render military honors to him, but il
could not long tolerate in the streets OF
Rome demonstrations i'll favor of the
pope, who, after all, is dispossessed
sovereign /"

The Travelling Frenchman,

The Petit Journal Of Paris says that
nothing is so curious and instructive as
to observe the Englishman when travel
ing as compared with the Frenchman.
The former is calm, punctual, precise
and with only the necessary quantity of
baggage. He will journey through
China with merely valise. He is not
impatient. He loves travel. 1t is to him
an inclination and felt want. On the
other hand, the Frenchman when jour-
neying is restless, nervous, impatient,
bored the entire time he spends looking
furtively at his watch or consulting the
railway time table. He is always crowd
ed up with parcels in addition to his
portmanteau. He is, as a rule, in
numbered with many useless articles.
In fact, he dislikes travel, which he
finds an ennui and a fatigue.

his hands together as he makes shrewd
guess as TO what he is likely TO take out
of you and receiving you with obse-
quiousness or with rudeness according
ly Quite the reverse.
Your presence is apparently unnoticed
unless you happen to lift anything.
Then you hear that the fan has been ar
rested and feel that keen eye is bent
ON your movements all the while. But
it is not until you inquire for some ar
ticie that the gentleman, now certain
that you mean to trade, will rise with
out hustle from his seat, show you his
goods or state the price he means to
sell at with polite yet careless air

Why Elephants Fear Mice.

1t seems incredible that so small and
harmless an animal as q mouse is able
to brighten an elephant almost out OF
his senses One little mouse in the hay
ON which they are feeding will STAN
pede an entire herd. In their native
land there are little animals, known as
chacanas, which feed on a small, sour
berry of which elephants are very fond.
They live in settlements, something
after the manner of prairie dogs, under
the berry bushes.
When feeding, the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright run rp the tubes of the ele-
plants trunks. Their long, sharp claws
catch in the flesh, and they cannot be
elected The more violently the mon
ster blows through its coiled trunk the
more firmly the hooked claws of the lit
tie animal become imbedded in the flesh.
Inflammation and death are the result
In captivity the elephants think they
are in danger Of the deadly chacanas
when they see a mouse.-New York

Ways of Actors.

In the country one has few opportuni-
ties of meeting these children of nature.
Occasionally one sees an individual or
a company at the railway stations, and
then it is curious to note how instinc-
lively they treat the platform as stage
and take up the important positions on
it. / wonder if acting now is as lucra-
tive profession as it was under Eliza
beth. Shakespeare, we are told, got
nothing to speak of for his plays, but
made his fortune as an actor, and AL
leyne, another actor after providing for
his family. founded Dulwich school
Another curious point about actors is
that they should not be content with
their own names, like painters and
writers, but take names, the ladies es-
pecially, that belong to other people. Is
there no property in names? N. told me
of model Of his who wished to go upon
the music hall stage and whom he ask
cd What should you call yourself?"
"Oh, Alice Burne-Jones, certainly. -
