A hotel proprietor in Somerset town
raises point that has significance. He
says people of different societies expect a
landlord to keep good house, provide a
we'll laden table at a moderate price, OBJ
serve the law against the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, and are down hard upon
him II he does not do these things, yet If
there Is any special stir in town, such as
celebration of the 4th of July, cattle
show and fair or anything of this kind
to draw u crowd to the town, several
societies will open rooms for the sale OF
70 cent dinners to draw from the legiti-
mate custom of the hotel, which has
none too much business III best. Mate
rails are contributed by friends OF
these societies, others contribute hard
work without charge, and thus are they
able to give meals AT prices far below a
living price for hotel that has TO pay
rent, taxes, insurance, expenses, etc.
Another thing, these societies really
make very little and would make 10th.
ing, were it not for the labor and mate
rails contributed by the friends Of the
society in question. Thus they injure
tine hotel keeper much and benefit them
selves very little, not enough to pay the
wear and tear on body and brain. This
view of the case, from the standpoint of
the law-abiding innkeeper, is worthy OF
the candid consideration of fair minded
people.

II is generally supposed that the ser
penis exhibited by snake charmers have
been deprived of their fangs and this
is doubtless often the case. while one
instance at least il recorded in which
the mouth Of the snake had been sewe8
together to prevent it from biting.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon eX=
hibition. given some years ago in Lon
don, that one of the snake charmers,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting be
coming too lively and aggressive seized
the reptile by the neck and thrust It
hastily into the small round basket in
which it was carried. at the same time
pushing it with volumineus white
cloth, at which it bit savagely. Having
almost closed the lid Of the basket the
man drew away the cloth violently,
thus douttles dragging ont the fangs
which were fastened in it He then Sc
cured the basket and carried il away.
This. of course, required large amount
of cool courage as well as great quick
ness of hand and eye, all of which quail
ties must be doubly necessary in cup
turing and tanning these deadly reptiles.
But if VIZ are astonished at the skill
and dexterity displayed by Indian snake
Charmers. still more must We marvel Mt
the hardihood of the American Indians.

MAY YET BE CLEARED.
Detective Barring Obtained from
Burglar Gleason, Who Died in
Lackawanna Hospital, Good
Start on Corcoran Case.

Detective Herman Barring has good
start on the unravelling of the Cor
coran murder mystery and if given
assistance and practical encourage
ment by the authorities of Luzerne
county believes he can land the muir
derers behind the bars.
When John Gleason, who was shot
by Postmaster Hauser at Delaware
Water Gap, was taken to the Lacka-
wanna hospital. John GilbOy, clerk at
the Pullman house, in Duryea, was
brought to this city and identified
Gleason as one of the suspicious men
who paid two visits to Duryea before
the COrCOran murder.
Two men came to the Pullman house
three weeks before the murder and
spent Saturday and Sunday. They
made arrangements to return two
weeks from that Sunday, and said
they would have two other men with
them. They arranged for acCommOda-
tions for week for the four. ON the
day specified the men arrived and reg
istercd at the Pullman house. They
visited number of places in Duryea
during the day. One of them was Cor
coran's hotel.
Sunday night the men suddenly LEFT
the Pullman house and the next night
the office of the Danvile Brewing COM
pany at Danville was entered by
masked men who bound the watchman
and blew open the safe.
The next night Davenport's store w2s
visited by four men, and on Friday
night of that week CoTcorans hotel
was visited and the proprietor killed.
After Gleason had been identified
by Gilboy, Detective Barring had talk
with the wounded burglar, and secured
a statement about his connection with
the Corcoran affair. He did not learn
the names of the other men in the job,
but with the information gained
| through the knowledge that Gleason
was one of them they can be located.
| Though Gleason knew he was going
| to die he would not betray his pals.
There is hope that the CorcOran mys-
| terry may yet be cleared.
