NEW SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE BY
 MR. FRYE.
Seven Distinct Glasses and Rates for Ocean Steamers-Mail Contract Term Extended to Fifteen Ycars-A Uniform General subsidy-AlI to Pro- mote Building of New Vessels.

Washington, Dec. 9-Senator Frye
 rep, of Maine, to-day introduced the
 new ship subsidy bill. It differs in form
 from the subsidy bill of the last two
 sessions. It is divided into four titles
 and fifteen sections.
 whe sections under the title Ocean
 Mail Steamships" are devoted to amendments to the Ocean Mail act of
 1891. The postmaster general is requir-
 ed to consider the national defense and | the maritime interests of the United
 States, as well as postal interests in
 providing for the transportation of
 American ocean mails.
 1 The present limit of ocean mail con- | tracts-ten years-is increased to fifteen | years The Frye bill provides seven distinct classes, with a rate of $6 to | twenty-knot steamers, increasing from 5000 to 0,000 tons the minimum size; S3 for siXteen-knot steamers, provided the size is increased from 5000 tons, the present minimum, to 5000 tons. The proposed maximum mail rates per gross ton per hundred nautical miles are as follows: Over 10000 tons-Twenty knots, 27 cents; nineteen knots, 2.5 cents.
 Over 5000 tons-Eighteen knots, 2.3 cents: seventeen knots, 2.1 cents; six teen knots, 1.9 cents; fifteen knots, 1.7 cents.
 Over 2,00O tons-Fourteen knots, Is cents.
 Rates for mail steamers to the West Indies, Central America and Mexico cannot exceed 70 per cent. of the maxi mum rates.
 The second title, General Subsidy" contains the general subsidy for all ves- sels, steam or sail, which are not under mail contracts This general subsidy is uniform, one cent per gross ton per 100 nautical miles for not exceeding sixteen entries in one year.
 To promote the building of new ocean vessels an addition allowance of one fourth of cent per gross ton Is made for five years. Any vessel to receive the general subsidy must carry mails, if required, and must train in seamanship or engineering one American youth for each 1000 tons, the vessel to be at the Service of the government if required for defense. Any vessel to receive sub sidy must be class Al and at least one fourth of the crew be Americans.
 The bill provides an annual bounty of s2 a ton for deep-sea fishing vessels and of $1 a month for American citizens when engaged in deep-sea fisheries; that a vessel shall receive only one form of subsidy, and that vessel which has | received a subsidy shall not be sold to foreigner except by consent of the sec 'etary of the treasury.
 The bill does not provide American registry for foreign ships owned by

AN INDIAN SNAKE DANCE OF
 TO-DAY

Some of the priests have small ratt1ers in their mouths, the head alone show ing; others have gripped snakes so large that they can hardly hold them. The reptiles wind their bodies about their arms. twist into Gorgonlike knots,
 rub their flat and deadly heads into the
 eyes of their tormentors. and along
 their cheeks, their eyes gleaming. their
 forked tongues darting in and out.
 Around the plaza this fierce and terri
 ble procession passes four times, and as
 they move by line of women and
 girls bearing baskets of sacred meal,
 the latter is tossed at them, and at the
 snakes. and towards all points of the
 compass. This accomplished, the "car-
 rier' drops his snake. which Is picked
 up by the "gatherer," who collects the retpiles until his hands are filled, and, as he stalks along, he might almost be in appearance the bearer of the head of Medusa The ''carrier" now receives fresh snake from the priest at the kisi, and this dance of demons, for such it seems. continue until all the snakes have taken part. A priest now marks with the sacred meal upon the ground six compass points, and at given sig nal all the 200 reptiles, squirming, hiss ing, rattling, with rage and fury, are hurled upon it.
 The excitement Is at it's height. Fren- zied snake priests crowd about the writhing mass: not a sound is heard save the hiss of some angry snake or the warning rattle as it strikes at it's Sacred meal is sprinkled upon the snakes and then comes the dramatic end of this unique ceremonial. Worked up to a state of wild excitement which can only be compared to that which possessed the victims of the Jug gernaut, the snake priests in a body fling themselves upon the revolting deadly heap, each grasping as many snakes as he can. A struggle for death, It might seem, as the priests seize the reptiles without the slightest apparent regard to the menacing fangs. Some secure for or five: others dozen; then turning with their terrible burdens, hey rush at full speed down the wind- ng and precipitous trails, six hundred | ,r more feet, to the mesa below, where he reptiles are released, with prayers, | o crawl away into the deep shadows of he night.-Charles F. Holder, in the New England Magazine.

A cREEN rURrLE FARM.

In these go ahead days we are getting
 accustomed to municipal enterprise ir
 almost every shape and form, but it Is
 not generally known that among the
 various enterprises worked by the Brit
 ish government is that of turtle farm | ing, carried on at Ascension Island. The island is specially suited for this pur-
 pose, as, despite its close proximity to the equator, the temperature is low and the atmosphere healthy on account of the prevailing southeasterly trade winds. January in each year sees the beginning of the turtle season. which does not, as a rule, last more than three months. All turtles caught at
 Ascension Island are the property of the crown, and are only sent to Eng land and other places for disposal as directed by the Admiralty. in whose hands the government of the whole is- land practically rests. The particular species, which favors Ascension with Its visits Is the Caledonia viridis," or green turtle. This, as may be supposed, is the turtle from whose green fat and portion of the fins that particular brand of soup is made which is proverbiaiiy associated with the banquets of Lon- don's civic dignitaries. It is wholly for it's value as an edible commonly that the turtle farms are carried on, as the shell, unlike that of the tortoise, is of no commercial value.
 To test the statement made about the turtles habit of returning to the island year afer year, one was once thrown overheard near Honolulu, with the date and location of the throwing cut on the back. Three years and twAmonths af- terward this turtle was turned up" at Ascension, having travelled over fifteen thousand miles. More recently still an other was thrown overheard in the En- gish Channel, and was caught again at Ascension within six months.

$e4,OOO FIRE IN BRISTOL.
The Sessions" and "Unwinu Blocks Gutted-Tenants Lose Heavily,

l Bristol, Conn.,, Dec. 9.-Two four story blocks, known as the Sessions and "Unwin," on Prospect street, were 1 completely gutted by fire early tonight and the loss is estimated at $24, 400, only partly covered by insurance The ten- ants in the Sessions block suffered heavily, most of their belongings being | uninsured.
 The UnWin block is occupied entirely by the Prospect house. The flames spread so rapidly through this block ! that number of the forty guests of the house had scarcely time to escape With their lives, and they lost all their effects.
 The Sessions block was occupied on the ground floor by J. D. Monaghan grocer; Coleman, McGar company plumbers. The upper floors were cut up into flats, containing five tenants.
 The Unwin block is owned by the Un- win estate and was valued at $15,000, and insured for $1O,00O. The loss by fire is $7,500. The Sessions block was owned by A. L. Sessions, valued at $15,0oO; in sured for $10,00o; loss S7,50O.
 The furniture and fixtures of the ! ioSpCtL llOuSc NdS QdlIltSSu lO lut GA- tent of $3,000, only half of which was covered by insurance, J. D. Monaghan lost S2,50O: insurance $1,200. Coleman &, McGar company lost $400 fully covered by insurance. Monaghan's loss on his household effects was $1,000 insured for $500.
 The other four tenants had no insur- ance on their household effects and their loss runs from $500 to $S00 The guests of the Prospect house lost all told $1,500. Mrs. Judd, one of the guests, lost pocketbook containing over $100 and valuable diamond ring.
 Several of the firemen had narrow es- capes from serious injury. J. H. Hayes, foreman of Hose company No. 1, had his fingers badly crushed in the hose reel.
 While it is not positively known it is believed that the fire originated in one of the sleeping rooms of the Prospect house in the rear of the building. The flames were probably started by an inn perfectly insulated electric wire.

ABSENCE OF LAW AGAINST. AN
 ARCHISM

ARCHISM.
 It is astounding, and in the light of l the present most, regrettable, that all ef-
 forts made in the past to legislate
 against the anarchist have been frus-
 trated. The punishment of every other class of evildoers is provided for under | national or state laws. The severity of
 our national criminal laws is prover- bial. Their relentless execution is so well known among the professional law
 breakers that few venture to transgress them. Whatever the chances of evad- ing state laws and state authorities, ev cry criminal knows. that the United States authorities are merciless and tireless that the strong arm of the Fed
 eral power pursues and reaches to the
 uttermost corners of the earth, and
 that neither time nor money is spared
 to bring malefactor to justice. If per-
 chance experience teaches that any
 mesh in the criminal web is weak or de-
 fective, there has never been any hesi-
 tation to promptly strengthen and inn
 prove it. The laws necessary for such
 purpose are passed almost without de-
 bate, certainly without unnecessary de- lay. That is, in every case except an- archy. Here there is gap of mon- strous proportions in our political and legal structure. We have neither pre- ventive nor punitive laws. Yet it hard ly required the shooting of MT. McKin- ley to arouse the nation to realization of the fact that the anarchists. are the most dangerous criminals we have to deal with in this country to-day. The burglar, the thief, the highwayman and the ordinary murderer are danger ous only in a narrow sense They threaten none of our institutions. The anarchists, on the contrary, are danger ous in a national view. They are a greater menace than open treason or armed rebellion, because no man may estimate their numbers, compass their | plots, or forese the places or times of | attack. The killing of President Nc Kinley was as unexpected as it was | Any man who had pro- phesied the crime an hour before it oc- cured would have been listened to with l an incredulous smile. It is this feature of anarchism that makes its existence 1 50 appalling and demands the most drastic measures for it's suppression md destruction. If one fanatic can 'ise out of the earth, as it were, with put warning, and, regardless of conse- fences, shoot the president at a time when all the conditions are least alarm ng, then 1t is not unreasonable, or at east not impossible, to suppose that ,ther fanatics might at the same time, " concert of action, strike down the rice president and all others in line of succession to the presidential office senator J. c. Burrows in the North American Review.

CHEAP HOG SHELTER.
The Sort of Structure Here Described
Is Getting to Be Quite Popular
in Some Sections.

There is tendency with many farm
ers to turn from the old-fashioned
hoghouse to the small shelters large
enough to hold possibly a half-dozen
medium-sized pigs, says a Michigan
farmer in Breeders Gazette. Even
farmers who still cling to the large
hoghouse are using small shelters in
addition to the other, where hogs are
turned off into a field, and in some
cases in small yards the large house
might be used. The small house has
the advantage of being more easily
handled, and involves less attention to
keep in order.
In building such a structure the
first thing is to build the frame. This
is simple, and can be modelled largely
after the general outline of the shed.
The first things necessary are the run
ners on which the affair is to be built.
Perhaps nothing better than two sew
en-foot planks three inches thick and
six inches wide can be secured. Hewed
sticks from the wood lot can also be
made to do. The general dimensions
of the building are six feet each way
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1901-10-04

at the base, five feet six to the gable,
with six-foot slant length to the roof.
The frame for the ends will follow the
general outline of the roof edge. The
A-shaped ends are connected with ga
bic piece and two crosspieces some
where between gable and where bases
are nailed to the runners. The run
ners are connected by three crosspieces
two feet apart, to which the floor is
to be attached. For the general frame
work seven 12-foot two by tours
are all that is necessary. Twelve feet
is the best length, from the fact that
all are cut six feet long, thus avoiding
all waste.
The lumber used in covering the
framework should be of good quality
and practically clear, or, if knotty, the
knots should be sufficiently firm that
there will be no danger of holes. l
think four-inch pine, matched stuff, is
preferable. If this width is used, 10
12foot boards will cover the build
ing in good shape without any great
waste. In addition to these, there will
be required eight more boards of same
width and length to cover the ends. 1t
will be good idea to face the ends of
the structure just below the roof
boards, and also put boards on either
side of gable. If this is done, there will
be required three more boards of the
same length and width as the others,
save that it is prefera bic if this lum-
Der is unmatched stuff.
1t does not seem to me advisable to
build one of these shelters without Civ
ing it floor. 1t is something done,
but because of roofing in the winter
time such arrangements are seldom
satisfactory. A floor is the cleanest,
healthiest, and, generally, most con-
venient. 1t is most apt to mean warm
nest for the hogs, and, what is more
important, a dry one. In putting in
such floor would use nothing save
two-inch planks, probably foot wide.
IT this size is used, only three 12-foot
planks will be necessary. 1 do not
believe that floor of inch boards
doubled would prove satisfactory in
such place on account of the likeli-
hood of holding moisture and ultima te-
ly decaying.
