a CAT KILLS A RATTLEsNAKE
Battle Royal Between n Reptile and
Household Pet

Geneva, y. Y, Aug. 14-George Ma
thias. farmer living near Red Jacket S
Mound, on the Naples Road. has a three
year-old daughter and large Maltese cat.
The child was in the garden Saturday
playing with the cat, its almost constant
companion. She saw a rattlesnake about
four feet long down the path. She start
ed toward it TO play with it, The cat
looked after her and saw the snake. As
the child approached the rattler threw it
self into coil, sounded the ALARM and
prepared TO strike. When the child came
almost within striking distance a streak
OF grey flashed through the air, struck
the snakes tail, and bounded to one side.
The rattler turned TO attack the cat,
which backed up, yowled and spit The
child ran screaming toward the house.
Mr. Matthias, who was close al hand,
heard the scream, picked up CLUB, and
ran into the garden. He saw the snake
strike al the cat and the latter dodge the
blow. Before the snake could recover it
self the cat rushed at the snake, but failed
TO secure hold. 1t bounded out of dan
ger, while the snake re-coiled. Mr. Ma
thias approached and the snake turn ed lis
head. The cat rushed again, caught the
snake just behind the head and held on.
The rattler twisted, wriggled writhed
and rolled oil. Ii threw the cat off its feet
two or three times, but could not loosen
its hold. In a few minutes the rattler
Strengthened out and lay still except for
a 9erky movment in its tail. Ii was dead.
The cat has been a snake killer since IL
was kitten. Mr. Matthias saws he would
not take 81, 900 for il.

THE CENTENNIAL ARRIVES.
The Warren Thought to Have Been
Caught by a Typhoon.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE trans
port Centennial, thirty-two days from Ma
Mia and twenty-one days from Nagasaki
has arrived with about seventy-ive sick
and wounded invalided home. The Gen.
tennial got into Nagaski just ahead of
several severe typhoons. When the vessel
left Nagasaki the transport Warren, with
the Colorado volunteer regiment, was
three days overdue at that point. Officers
of the Centennial say that the Colorado
boys must have learned what an Oriental
typhoon is when at sea, as the vessel
could not possibly have escaped. However,
the Warren has since been heard from at
Yokohama, and is expected here on Au-
gust II.
Just before the Centennial left Manila
twenty-three firemen and coal passers
mutinied and were given sentences rang
ing from six to ten months each in the
Manila military prison. few days before
reaching Manila the Centennial went
ashore off Luzon and bands of hostile ma
tives on RATS threatened to loot the trans
port.
The Centennial pretended to be British
vessel. The natives went off with a prom
Use to return and help pull the vessel off
when sufficient had been thrown over
board to tighten her. The Filipinos were
after the supplies on board. The anchor
was cast astern and the propeller started.
The hawser parted, killing Quartermaster
NJ NJ Mcdonald. AT 8 o'clock in the
morning, at the highest tide, the propellers
again started and the vessel got off.
The Centennial left Manila under rush
orders and with short supplies of meat,
potatoes, and ice At Nagasaki these sup
plies were secured, but at enormous prices.

CHEERS FOR EXPANSION.
Representative DOlliyer Addresses n
Large Audience at Chautauqua.

Chautauqua, n. Y, Aug 1T feel an
Indignation which l cannot explain when
hear men expressing the conviction that
human liberty and human civilization will
stand a poorer chance under the flag of
our great Republic than it does under the
proclamation of a few negro tribes now
fleeing before our little army of occupa-
tion in the Island of Luzon,'' said Repre-
sentative j. P. Dolliver of Iowa to an au-
dience of 5000 people, composed prin-
cipalIy of farmers living in Chautauqua
county The vast audience cheered these
words until the roof rang with the echoes.
Not satisfied with this, the crowd gave
the Chautauqua salute and then cheered
again. This was as good test of the tenn
per of the rural residents of western New
York as could be desired. That great
majority of the farmers favor the policy of
the President in fighting for the Philip
pines was shown by the attention given
the speaker and by the enthusiasm and
applause that followed every eloquent SEN
timent expressed.
When the applause that followed the
conclusion of Mr.. Delivers speech had
subsidized, a Baptist preacher, Mr.. Ray by
name endeavored to organize the meeting
into a debating society.
rs it not fact" he shouted from the
audience, that Aguinaldo was authorized
by the United States to make war on the
Spaniards?''
NO. replied Mr.. Dolliver, calmly.
"But If he was l deny his right to fire on
our troops.'
The yell of approval that followed this
reply gave DR.. Ray ample time to formu-
late another question.
We'll, he said, lamely, what about the
Declaration of Independence"
"Oh, as to that" replied Mr.. Dolliver
II don't want to know more about that
historic document than did Thomas Jeffer-
son, and If l read his story Alright the
province of Louisiana was governed far
more rigidly than we propose to govern the
Philippines. Aaron Burr, the Aguinaldo
of that time, objected. He was arrested
and tried for treason.
This retort was the signal for another up
roar in which many of the prominent
grangers, including the master of the State
grange, joined. The enthusiasm eliminated
in the Chautauqua salute.

ANDREE MAY BE ALIVE.
Nansen Expects the Safe Return of
His COuntryman.

Stockholm, Aug. 14.-Dr Kjellan, writing
in the Stockholm paper, "Aftenbladet, +"
makes plausible suggestion as to the pos
sibility of Andree's safety. Judging from
the enterprising character of the man, he
thinks it not impossible that, being unable
to proceed further in his balloon and not
wishing to wait for a favorable oppor-
tunity to return to Europe, he and his
companions may have determined to push
on toward their goal in the ordinary way.
For this they would, of course, need
provisions, as what they had with them was
only calculated to last till the end of 1887.
But the writer points out that If they came
down in the sub-polar portion of northeast
Greenland. they would find all sorts of
game reindeer and whole herds of musk
oxen, while the coasts abound in walruses
and seals. In summer this region rs even
visited by butterflies and bees.
1t seems extremely probable that the
balloon may have been carried in this di-
rection. 1t certainly is not in Siberia or
Alaska, and the atmospheric conditions
prevailing at the time would have carried
| IL into the range of the transpolar atmos-
pheric current, which would take 1t TO
Greenland. Even if they came down on the
ice, say somewhere below the eighty sixth
parallel, which Nansen reached, their
| sledges and the movement of the ice caused
by the circumpolar current would enable
them to reach Greenland, and having laid
in provisions they would start in the spring
of 1898, either making for the Pole or in
search of Nansen, while the snow was suf-
| fcently covered by layer of freezing.
1t may be conjectured that now, after
! wintering second time, they are on the
| return journey either along the eastern
coast of Greenland, reckoning on meeting
| Nathorsts expedition, or have turned the
/, northern extremity of Greenland, with a
| view to coming down the western coast,
where they ought to encounter Sverdrup
with the Fran. They were determined not
to come back until 1899. This opinion is
! fully endorsed by Nansen, who is con-
vinced that Andree and his companions Will
return safe and sound either at the end oi
the summer or at the latest early in the
| autumn.

INCENsED WITH ENGLAND.
Strong Anti-British Feeling on TN
French Atlantic Coast.

London, Aug. 1.-THE shooting of
French fishermen by the British torpedo
boat Leda for refusing to surrender when
caught fishing within the British limit is
exciting violent animosity against the
large British colony in Boulogne, whence
the fishing vessel hailed.
An organized attack was made on sew
eral Englishmen returning from the
Casino in Boulogne Friday, and was Joined
in by the soldiers. The Englishmen who
were taken by surprise, were roughly
handled. They were beaten with sticks
and iron chains, but soon gained the upper
hand dispensing their assailants.
English visitors, who are the principal
source of livelihood of Boulogne, are leav-
ing there today in large numbers. despite
the assurances of the authorities that
further disturbances will be guarded
against.
The firing OF ball at the French smack
when she was only 200 yards away is now
regarded here as a deplorable error of
judgment, as the Leda. could easily have
captured the smack ultimately without
bloodshed.
The incident has aroused a bitter anti
English feeling along the French Atlantic
coast, where il is estimated 100000 English
visitors are now staying.
Comments of the French official press
are dignified, but the boulevard organs are
taking up such an indammatory strain
that the incident certainly will make
worse the already delicate relations be-
tween the two countries.

BATTLING With SNAKES
COpperheads Invade a Cottage in
the Pennsylvania Woods.
Reptiles, Attracted From Their
Mountain Dens by Spring Chick
ems. Keep the Williams Family
Busy Twenty-one Killed With
CIub-The Rescue of a Turkey.

Connellsville, Pa, Aug. 14.-Up along
the ConneIl, or Mccoy. run, not far from
this place. is a little frame house settled
back among the trees of the foothills Of
the Chestnut Ridge In this cottage lives
Thomas Williams, watchman at the Con-
nellsyille Water Company's reservoir, and
his wife and family. But it is not as a
human habitation that the little dwelling
is most remarkable. About its precincts
live hundreds of copperhead snakes.
The snakes have recently become so
bold that they are found in the table uten-
sils, on the chairs, and about the premises,
whittier they have been attracted from the
mountain dens by the spring chickens and
other young fowls to be found about the
lonely cottage in the wood. Williams, his
wife and son have each killed many of the
reptiles.
The snakes first became so numerous this
spring, when the Wiiliamses had several
broods of fine spring chickens, the only
broods for miles around. One morning
Williams found innumerable snakes close
TO the house He started to kill them with
q club, and after battle which lasted
some minutes had twenty-one of the in
DQQSTS Q6dQ. since ludl llIlG ln6 SlIlle
has been kept up.
A few days ago a young turkey had en-
tered the kitchen and was walking around
picking up crumbs. Suddenly a copper
head stuck out its head with a vicious
thrust and attempted to take hold of the
young fowl. But Mrs. Williams was ac-
customed to such visitations, and quick
as a flash the broom she held sweeping
was raised in the air, made a vigorous
swirl and came down with bang upon
the protruding copperhead He was grog-
gy for a moment, but before another blow
could be administered had drawn himself
back into the house wall. There he was
penned in, and unslack lime was injected
into the creyices in the hope of killing
him.
A couple of nights after this episode
Williams had been entertaining friend
at the house and the host did not retire
till after midnight. The next morning
when Mrs. Williams proceeded into the
kitchen to make the fire a large copper.
head was found coiled up on the chail
where Williams had sat. This time tho
mountain wife killed the snake with q
poker.
IL is now the time of the year when tht
copperheads are most active, and the fam
lily is daily on the outlook for an opportu
nifty TO kill another snake, each membe
of the family having a record. Mrs
Williams is now one ahead of her oldes
son.
