EvERYTHING QUIET OF sUNDAY.
Mitchell and His Aides COnfer-Only One
Des-h at shenandoah,

Philadelphia, Sept. 2i.-Quietness
prevailed yesterday throughout the en-
tire strike region. Some mass meet
ings We're held which We're addressed
by the strike leaders, but all the meet
i ing We're conducted in an orderly man
ner. The churches throughout the re-
gion were well attended. The pastors
all cOunSeled good behavior on the part
of the strikers and especially advised
against the use of intoXica ting liquors
Some of the preachers sided with the
strikers in their contest, while others
expressed the belief that the men and
their families would be better off if
they would return to work at once.
A HaZelt0n dispatch says: president
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
has issued statement giving his views
on the calling out of troops at Shenan-
dOah and the killing of member OF
mob by deputies at Shenandoah, the
pith of which is that the shooting on
the part of the sheriff and his deputies
was entirely uncalled for. inasmuch rs
the strikers had not injured a single
member of the Sheriff'S posse \
conference was held here yesterday be-
tween President Mitchell and the three
district presidents of about two hours
duration. At its conclusion President
Mitchell said there was nothing of i'm
pOrtanCe to give out. H. said. however
that the reports of the district preSi-
dents We're highly satisfactory TO him.
and that number of plans for further
spreading the strike We're adopted at
the meeting
From Shenandoah comes the news
that but one fatality resulted from the
shooting Friday. The little girl report
ed hit will recover.
A Scranton telegram has the fol-
ing: ''OrganiZer Dikher is reported as
saying that the miners had been as
Sured of outside help that would per-

A Snake That Crows.

There exists in Venezuela q species
of snake Of an exceedingly venOmOus
and crafty character. This snake ut
ters n cry that is the almost exact repli-
ca Of cock crow. The unwary travel
er when walking through the bush will
be astOnished to hear near at hand this
extraordinary growing. He proceeds
toward the spot, when the snake darts
out and stings the unfortunate man
with its terrible fOrked tongue. II not
taken promptly in hand, the sting will
in nine cases out of ten turn out to be
fatal.
The black inhabitants of Venezuela
are, like all other dark races, very su-
perstitious. And as regards the rattle
snake they have curious belief. They
affirm that If a rattlesnake is captured
and the bones in its tail which form
the rattle removed the snake will never
rest until it has sought out the man
that committed the theft and exacted
vengeance for the robbery.
They cite instances OF men who have
taken the rattles and gone far journeys
only TO be followed By the infuriated
snake and killed. Whether there is any
truth in this is a matter of conjecture.
II half the tales that are told have any
truth in them. il would seem supcriu-
Gus 10 gainsay the superstition.
