SNAKE STARTS PANIC.

Rather Drives People Out of an Express
once In New jersey.
A rattlesnake got loose in the Unit
ed States Express office at Orange. N.
j., the other day and created all sorts
of excitement for a few minutes. The
snake was one of so which had been
received in crates a few hours pre-
vious to be shown as an attraction at
the Elks' carnival the other day.
Richard Holmes, who was to exhibit
the snakes at the carnival, opened one
Of the boxes to see that his pets we're
we'll and comfortable after their trip,
and while he was handling them one
of the rattlers wriggled over the side
of the box, and before its escape was
noticed disappeared under a pile Of
boxes in the rear Of the office. A mes
senger boy employed by the telegraph
company. which uses part Of the office,
saw his snakeship escape. and shouted
that snake was loose. Telegraph op-
orators and clerks made a rush for the
door. Holmes gingerly overturned the
boxes and barrels and finally located
the RATHER piled in a corner. He d.
verted the snakes attention for a mo-
ment while he grabbed 1t by the neck
and replaced it in the box with its
companions.

Garter Vacancy.

According to the London Chronicle
there is now a garter vacant, and IL q
plebiscite decided on whom 1t should
be bestowed there is not a doubt but
that X. G. would be placed after the
name Of the field marshal commanding
in south Africa, who most certainly
merits the distinction quite as much
as Lord Elgin, ON whom 1t was 50
properly conferred by Lord Salisbury.
In the last two centuries the garter
has been only thrice given for military
services-to Marlborough, Wellington
and Lord Anglesey-and, strange to
say, no naval commander appears 30
have had 1t; not even Nelson.

A Woman's College in the Bible.

There ought to be about fifty women
police on the New York City force"
said Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in
conversation, the other day. They
ought to be of discreet age, and princi-
pal part OF their duties should be the
looking out for young girls coming to
the city as strangers. And some Of
them ought to patrol the streets at night,
to look after women going home from
work or the theatres
Mrs. Stanton, now rounding out
long life of leadership, is one OF the most
picturesque figures in America. Her
ideas are incisive and clesI-cut.
Besides women police there ought to
be women street cleaners, too. See
what an army Of white uniformed men
we have in this city! And bow pictur-
eeque it would be to have some Of the
force women"
Then came an addition that showed
that Mrs. Stanton, although we'll past
the eighty years mark, and a radical
leader for women's reforms, is as delight
fully feminine as ever.
"They could dress in bloomers. and
they could wear red feathers in their
caps, and they could have red handles
on their brooms!' che cried.
Mrs. Stanton does not like the idea
that woman brought sin into the world.
"Why. the Bible itself says that the ser
pent was always therer' she exclaimed.
"But did you notice what high idea
the serpent had Of woman's intellect?"
she added with a twinkle in her eyes.
He did not try to tempt her with
jewels or dresses or pleasures, but by
arousing in her mind a strong THIRST for
knowledge. After that, the simple
pleasure of talking with Adam was not
enough"
Mrs. Stanton tells of asking wealthy
woman to give part Of her wealth to
endow womans college, and Of the NO.
mans prim refusal on the ground that
nowhere does the Bible recognize wo-
mans college.
"And 80 1 reminded her." says Mrs.
Stanton, ''of the Prophecies HuIdah,
who, when the King wanted her, was
found in the college,"
Then, IN reply to further question
'.No'-with regretful ghost Of smile
she gave $50, 600 to a mans college in
stead. after ALL"
Mrs. Stanton says that when she WAS
girl her father told her end her sisters
that whenever they went anywhere, I'M
der the escort Of young men, they must
pay their own share of whatever expense
vac incurred. This, he told them, was
for two reasons. One was that the most
desirable young men were sometimes
deferred from offering their escort be-
cause they felt they could not afford a
double expense. The other was that
young women would be in far more in.
dependent position if they did not have
to feel that their escorts had just been
allowed to spend money upon them.
Mrs Stanton lives in a pleasant home.
surrounded by pictures and books, and
loves to sit silent, thinking of the past,
through the long twilight Of the summer

conc yadisv ut Park.

Considerable discussion has been pro-
voked by the announcement that the pa
irons of the Park Theater are to have
"Quo Vadis" the same week that another
version Is to be given at the Grand. This
state of affairs is simply the result Of
natural coincidence. Bookings at the Park

Alden Benedict's version of "Qu0 Vadis'
has been engaged for the latter half of the
current week at that house almost since

the preponderance of our German popula-
ton at that time will recollect the many
feasts of mirth and song the Teuton knows
so well how to arrange and celebrate. Mr..
Knodel was one of the leading musicians.
and was also teacher of German in the old
German and English school on Maryland

the field of music, he still retains his love
for the art, and his direction of male cho-
ruses is second TO none in the city. His
work will be best appreciated when it is re-
membered that he lacked the assistance Of
cultivated voices, and by untiring and per-
sistent effort has achieved artistic results.

Miss Annie Russell. who will be seen at
English's Opera House Thursday and Fri
day of the current week, is not American
by birth, as has teen supposed, but was
born in Liverpool, England. in 1866. In
early childhood, however. her parents de-
cided that their fortunes would be bettered
by migration to Canada, and I'm 1869 were
living in Montreal. The new world failed
to prove more kindly TO the elder Russells
than the old had been, and the necessity
for the children to do something to increase
