Bucks county, but was brought to this
country from South America by Mrs.
George Kelly, who was on a visit to her
brother-in-law, Ed. Smith. Mrs. Kelly is
a snake charmer and the anaconda was
one of her exhibits. 1t was kept in a cage
by itself, but one night by some means Of
its wonderful constructing power it was
able to bend the bars of the cage suffi-
GENTLY to enable 1t to make its escape
The anaconda is now in captivity again,
but while it was at large il had a great
deal of fun with the people around Sunny
side school house, near Doylestown.
One morning soon after Mrs Keily's an
aconda escaped a party of boys went into
the ice pond on the Fordhook seed farm
for an early swim. One of the lads stepped
on what he thought was a twisted root I'M
der the water near the bank. Suddenly the
root moved from under him, and losing his
balance he fell on top of the Anaconda
The reptile wound Itself around his naked
body, but the youngsters shrieks frighten-
ed the serpent and the monster glided
away.
After that nothing was seen of the huge
reptile for more than a month, but depre
dations on the poultry yards and milk
cans for many miles around became of
every day occurrence. A little girl going
TO the spring house on her fathers farm
in Castle Valley was the next to see the
anaconda. 1t was reposing in the clear
water OF the spring, and had helped itself
to the contents of three milk cans and
manifested remarkable fondness for but
ter. The frightened child, rushing back to
her mother reported a snake in the spring
house as big as a telegraph pole. This
time the anaconda escaped but when it
returned last Saturday for another feast,
it was pinioned by Mr.. Smith who was on
the lookout for it, and it is now on its way
to a travelling show out in Ohio.

HOW PARTS AFFECT ACTORS.

pany," said London actor manager,
1.-THE cases of brain flag that result are
not to my mind the most curious re-
suit of the continued reiteration of a
part. When one impersonates a GER
tain character night after night, stud
les it infinitely and has it always more
or less in mind, his own disposition is
absolutely certain to be more or less
colored by it.
Il know very good actor who is
naturally quiet rather dignitied per-
son who abhors anything unconven-
tional. He was cast for the part of an
eccentric English solicitor who drawled
and split his words with 'aW' and
haw' in a popular melodrama that had
a phenomenal run, and before long he
began inyoluntartly to introduce the
same idiosyncrasies into his private
life. l met him after he had been
playing the character for some time
and l was perfectly amazed at the
change in his bearing and manners.
He himself was totally unconscious
of it.
81 call to mind another case of a very
sunny, happy hearted chap who was
brooding william, and in the course of
a month or two he began to get no.
ticeably gloomy and tacjturn. Little
by little all his old time vivacity left
him, and the wife grew seriously
alarmed. She thought he had some
thing on his mind, and So he had, but
it was only his part. In fact, the re-
cent suicide of a really light hearted
actor while acting the part of a lunatic
in provincial touring company more
than likely could be traced to the fact
that the part he was playing took abso-
lutte control of his mind.

The cork was placed in and tied to the

before the scene the bottle was yio-

IMPORTANT STEPS
Have Reen Taken Looking to the Ad-
Vancement Of the Alliance of the
New York Central and Pennsyl-
Vania Lines.

NEW YORK, July 22-The Times
says important steps have just been
taken in the advancement of the alli-
ance between the New York Central
and Pennsylvania railroad systems. AS
President Cassatt, Of the Pennsylvania
was at the New York's Centrals exec
utive Offices on the day OF the formal
vote for the Boston & Albany lease and
suggestive interest was melted thereby,
so now significance attached to the fact
that President Galloway, of the New
York Central, was visiting Philadelphia
an official return call. This trip Of
New York Central's chief executive to
the Pennsylvania headquarters was
quietly enough conducted Mr.. Gala
ways visit concludes details that prac-
tIcally perfect the deal through which
William K. Vanderbilt's plans become
dominant in the entire Easter ntrunk
line field.
Two at least of the anthracite prop
critics are to come under the control of
the New York Central-Pennsylva
directors. The hand of William X.
Vanderbilt will show early in this,
which, it is agreed, shall be one OF the
first Of the significant corporation
moves about TO be made.
Another undertaking is the project
of a tunnel under the North river di-
rectly connecting New York Central
and Pennsylvania railway tracks-a
tunnel for which, it is intimated, fran
chise rights already exist. A New York
al-Pennsylyania authority speaks
of them as assured" The establishment
and use of such a tunnel connection
would be more than the token of actual
alliance between the two greatest of
eastern trunk lines: it would signify
revolution in eastern trunk line traffic.
