FIFTY MILLION SNAKES.
A Government Expert Who Saw that
 Number in One Bunch

A Government Expert Who Saw that
 Number in One Bunch
 The most remarkable story that has reached Washington from the Philip pines up to date has been brought back by Dr. George F. Becker, who was sent by this government not long ago to study and report upon the geology and mineral resources of the archipelago. It is tale of snakes, and, guaranteed as it is by the assertion of so distin- guished a scientist it may well excite interest. For, whereas hitherto serpents have frequently figured in popular nar- rative by dozens or even by hundreds, Dr Becker describes those he saw as swarming by tens of thousands over vast areas of sea in the midst of our new possessions. But it will be best to let him speak for himself.
 T was going by steamer" he says, from Cebu to Jolo, and I estimate that on our way we passed through about 100 miles of snakes. I watched them over the side of the vessel, and there seemed to be no end to their numbers. Of course, it Is impossible to

make a guess worth having in such a matter but by simple method of com putation l have reckoned that there Were about 1000 serpeuts to each square mile. Aa l have said, we passed through 100 miles of them, and if the school was as broad as it was long, one might reckon the entire number of snakes at 50000, ,000.

phidia, or deadly serpents of that part of the world. bite inflicted by one of them is as surely and swiftly fatal as that of the dreaded cobra. Further more, they are very fierce and aggress- sive, and will attack human beings, whenever they get a chance. Fisher men in waters infested by them are ex- ceedingly afraid of them, and exercise the utmost precautions when chance brings them into the nets.
 More than 30 species of the hydro phis, as this family of venomous water snakes Is called, are known to science. Everyone of them Is deadly. They are found in the open seas, not frequenting the shallows. Occasionallyy they are seen in the tidal rivers, and now and then they are thrown up on shore by the current. They seem to be very deli cate, and seldom live long in captivity.

ing the Road.

A town meeting was held in the Bran ford town hall yesterday to consider the application of the Branford Electric company for a right of way for trolley cars in the public highway. A week before a public hearing had been had on the question. About one hundred and fifty people were present yesterday, and over twenty of those present spoke. The sentiment of the gathering was all most unanimously in favor of a conces- sion to the company of highway rights on Harbor street, from Four Corners to q point near the Jordan residence. The sclectmen will doubtless be given the power to make the desired concession.
 The company has one hundred and fifty laborers at work on private lay out on land purchased for the purpose. A part of the layout is ia the town of Branford and another part in East Ha- ven. Gangs arc at work on the west side of the Branford river and also on the East Haven division, which is ex- pected to connect at the East Haven green with the Fair Haven and West vile company's line.

Your Face

Shows the state of your feelings and the state of your face as well. Impure blood makes itself apparent in pale and sallOw complexion, pimples and skin eruptions. If you are feeling weak and worn out and do not have a healthy appearance you should try Acker's Blood Elixir. It cures all blood diseases where cheap sarsaparillas and so-called purifiers fail. Knowing this, we sell every bottle on a positive guarantee. w. R. Edwards, druggist.

Fight with Mountain Lion.

A correspondent to the Globe Belt says:
 "Three TontO Basin cowboys had an exciting and unpleasant experience with mountain lion on October 29.
 George Hubbard, A. C. Harer and Hardie Schell were riding after cattle on Hubbard's knoll in SalOme, when they discovered mountain lion. Hardie was the only one of the party who had a gun, and as luck would have it, he had only one cartridge. Neverlhe- less, Hardie determined to give the lion the best he had. and fired from dis tance of lSO yards. shooting the lion through the neck. The boys rushed upon the fallen beast thinking he was dead, but as they reached him the lion raised ready for a fight. Hardie knocked him down with his gun, but the now desperate animal came again and viciously attacked Hubbard. The latter caught the lion by the throat and front feet. while Hardie caught the hind feet and stretched him out, Abbey doing good execution with his knife by cutting the lions throat. He measured nine feet, ten inches in longth. Hubbard is severely scratched and received bad bite on his arm"

JUDGE TESTED THE MILK.
The AduIteration Knocked the
Court Out, and He Is in Bed.

A number of Omaha, Neb., dairy
men who were arrested few days ago
on the charge of using drugs to keep
their milk from sourihg, when arraign-
ed on Saturday, admitted using a pre-
servative compound, but declared it to
be harmless, and Judge Samuel Gordon
believed them.
The prosecuting attorney asked the
Judge if he was willing to drink some
OF the milk as a test, and his honor an
swered "yes, bring in a quart of It,"
The judge drank it and adjourned
the cases until the next day, so as to
sec what effect, if any, this milk had
on the court. The next morning tel
ephone message was sent to the court
house saying that the Judge was i'll,
and would not be on duty until tomor-
row,
A substitute was appointed to the
bench, and he fned each OF the accuS'
ed dairymen $25 and costs.

BOUGHT A GOLD BRICK.
AN ALBANY MAN LOST A COOL
SIX THOUSAND.
Swindier Identified. His Victim
Made the Trip to Massachu-
sets in Order to Do 1t.

A Springfield, Mass, dispatch says
David Greenfield of Albany, Ga, who
last week telegraphed the local police
to hold Smith and Blackwell, alleged
gold brick men, on the charge of being
fugitives from justice, pending his al
rival, reached here last afternoon and
positively identified Smith as one who
swindled him out of $4,000 by the gold
brick game. He thought Blackwell
was the other swindler, but was not
sure. Smith was not Disconnected in
the slightest. He chatted courteously
with Greenfield and told him thateit
surely was a case of mistaken identity.
Smith asserted that he had never
seen Greenfield before and had never
been in Albany. Ga. The interview
with Blackwell was one of a similar
import.
The Georgian is about thirty-fve
years old. ard from his appearance
would hardly be supposed to be susceu-
tible to gold brick operation, He is
engaged in the real estate business. In
January, 1899, he bought an eighty
pound ignot for $4,000. TIE ignot was
bronze.
Greenfield stated last afternoon that
rather than have the community in
which he lived know that be had been
yictimized by so old game he had
kept his own counsel in the matter uu-
til he read of the arrest OF the men
here. Should Smith and Blackwell
give bail on local bunko charges they
will be held as fugitives from Georgia
