Snake Eat Snake.

A sight was witnessed one day at
the Zoo that has been the talk Of the
people managing the animals Of the
garden ever since. Keeper Myers, who
has charge Of the snake cages, was
about to feed the reptiles, when, to his
horror, he saw one blacksnake meas
uring six feet devouring Its mate,
which was about the same length and
size Of itself. The reptile had swal-
lowed its fellow head first, and only a
foot and half still remained outside
it's mouth. 1t was lying quietly. and
about once every 30 seconds swal-
lowing motion would seize 1t, when as
much as two inches Of Its meal would
disappear. Myers opened the cage
and, grabbing the powerless snake by
the tail, began Juggling away to release
1t. This proved to be no easy task, as
the enthusiastically inclined monster
had firm hold on Its breakfast. Aft
er several minutes Of pulling that
brought the perspiration out on the
keeper the snake was set at liberty.
For a time it seemed paralyzed, but
gradually regained its strength.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

Crimes In Cape Cod District.

West Dennis, Mass, Sept. 15.-The
long list Of crimes which have occurred
in the Cape Cod district during the past
two months has been still further en-
larged by the finding Of the body Of
James F. Whittemore, driver Of bakery
wagon, on the Old Town House road, al
a point midway between South Var
mouth and Yarmouth. Whittemore, who
was only 10 years old, had been shot
through the head. The authorities i'm
mediately began an investigation on the
theory that the boy had been killed by
the so called Bourne burglars, who have
been at large since the shooting of two
officers in that town nearly two months
ago. The team driven by Whittemore
was not found until some time after the
discovery of the body. 1t was located on
a street in the town of Yarmouth, and il
was evident whoever shot the driver had
carried away part of the contents Of the
bread baskets.

mjttec all resolutions, according 70 VT
Farr, were to be referred without read
Ing or debate. The motion instantly de-
veoped the undercurrent Of strife De-
tween the factions for and against trusts
which yesterday threatened the conven-
tons harmony.
An amendment was Immediately pro-
posed, various speakers vigorously urg'
ing that the resolution be amended to al
low the appointments to the committee
TO be made by the delegates themselves
one committeeman from each state.
The original motion was not acted up
On, but the amendment in regard to the
manner of appointment was carried BY q
standing vote-99 to IA.
Governor Atkinson of West Virginia,
rising from a far corner, declared that il
was unfair to bind the delegates by reso-
luton.
The debate waXed warm, and dele
gates, clamoring for recognition, rose in
every part Of the house.
En- Governor Luce of Michigan thun.
dered that the reference to a committee
without reading or debate meant that
many we'll meant effort would go to
sleep in the hands of the committee and
"sleep the sleep of death" At this sally
there waS Il ripple Of merriment which
ceased with the clamor of others who
wished to be heard.
Taylor Of Indiana, Prince of Texas and
Collins of Illinois were heard.
The pro-trust people and the ants were
fearful, it became evident, that one side
or the other would secure control and
bind the minority to something OF which
they disapproved.
Edward Rosewater, editor Of the Oma-
ha Bee, won applause in an informal
speech in which he declared that the
people of the United States had the
courage of their convictions.
He averred that the conference should
adopt such resolutions as 1t saw fit.
1t remained for w. Bourke Cochran to
repeat his performance Of the previous
day, when he restored the harmony
which was lost in an endeavor to secure
committee on programme.
Upon his suggestion it was finally de-
cided that the committee on resolutions
consist Of not only one representative of
each state delegation, but of each ma
tional organization.
To this committee it was resolved that
all resolutions be referred without read
ing or debate.

Ramapo company and said that Levi p.
Morton, Silas B. butcher and General

The mayor was defiant at times and
told Mr.. Moss his questions were silly.
He did not believe there was big steal
planned by the Ramapo company.

The Tartar Gets Clearance Papers

Washington, Sept. 15.-Clearance pa
pers have been allowed the Tartar at
Hongkong. 1t is expected that she will
proceed to the United States at once. The
information that clearance had been al
lowed came in a dispatch to Adjutant
General Corbin from Colonel Metcalfe,
commanding the Twentieth Kansas and
the troops aboard the transport. 1t is
supposed that clearance papers were al
lowed upon the suggestion Of the British
foreign Office to the British consul at
Hongkong that it would be unwise to in
terfere with American transports. An
other dispatch from Colonel Metcalfa, in
reply to one previously sent, states that
the Tartar was no more overcrowded and
that the food was as good as on other
transports leaving Manila. He said that
the trouble arose among the discharged
regular soldiers who were returning home
on board the ship.
