THE LONa-HAlKED HEALHR.


Our long-haired and festive friend
Francis Schlatter, "the Divine Healer, &"
who has visited our city on several oc-
casions and created more or less ex-
citement by his personal appearance
and supernatural pretensions, has been
guilty OF an Offense against the flag
and has languished in prison in Phila-
dIsCphia, much to his annoyance and
chagrin. He stood in the dock in Judge
Audenaded's court yesterday and plead
ed guilty. to the charge Of mallclOusly
taking down and destroying an Ameri-
can flag. The offense was committed at
the keystone Hotel, Sixteenth and
Market streets, where the "heaser"
seized a small flag That was floating
over a doorway and threw II to the
ground.
In answer TO Assistant District AT
torney Barlow he said he came from
Denver, Col. and that he was the inhi-
vidual who had performed such won
derfui service to the cause CT suffer-
ing humanity. When Mr.. Barlow ask
ed him how he came to tear down the
flag me said he felt as IL he had been
drugged, aud he was certainly suffer
ing from mental alteration. Accord
ing to the policeman who arrested him
this mental alteration" was simply a
good, plain drunk" Schlatter assert
ed that he had no recollection cf the
occurrence, and in a winning tone as
sured the court that he cherished no
i'll feeling and meant no disresDect to
the flag.
His escapade occurred on July z,
and he has been languishing in prison
since THAT date. The court Thought
this sufficient punishment, i'm view OF
his contribe statement, and discharged
him, with a warming not to repeat the
oifense.

A sNAKE-HUNT1Na CAT.
Austin, q suburb OF Chicago, Has .
Tabby which Prefers Rep
tiles TO Rats.

Austin boasts a cat which is a snake
hunter. The tiower-studded prairies
west Of Forty-eighth street, the old city
boundary line, are overrun by green
reptiles and others that are not so
green. Not one Of them is venomous,
however. Every day Tabby leaves her
home In West Fifty-third street and
boldly invades the tall grass where lurk
and wriggle the harmless but neverthe-
less repulsive serpent. Here she prowls
for hours at time until she finds one of
the crawlers. Then she pounces upon
II, seizes IL firmly In the middle and
trots back to the house, the snake mean
while enclrcling her neck like green
and animated collar. Once upon her
own territory the cat shakes herself
loose from her strange enemy and be-
gins 10 toss and bite the disconnected
reptile until life has leftits long body.
Four and five times day the cat goes
on the hunt, and seldom does she re-
turn without her prey firmly clinched
in her mouth. Strangely, too, Tabby,
the snake chaser, IS not a mouser. Rats
may play hide and seek about her, but
she pays no attention to them. She is
essentially a snake destroyer, and did
she not deliver the uncanny game upon
the porch and the kitchen stairs she
would be hailed with acclaim by all the
women and children In the neighbor-
hood AS it IS, however, she causes in
Vulnerable spasms Of fright whenever
she bounds out Of the jungle Of grass
and weeds.-Chicago Chronicle.
