SNAKE DIED OF CONSUMPTION.

Curious Revelation Made at Post

dispatch to the New York Herald from
Chicago, ILL.,, Tuesday, says:
One of the most remarkable cases of tu-
bercuiosis on record has just been brought
to the attention of the medical experts at
tached to the Academy of Sciences in Lin
coin Park.
The patient was great African boa con-
strictor, which for nearly two years has
suffered the ravages of the disease. Its
agony was put to an end with chloroform.
For several months not a morsel of food
has the big snake eaten. It was decided
finally that the snake was doomed to die
of the great white plague SO common
among human beings and so rare among
the cold-blooded animals.
The serpent was brought into the labor

THIEVES TAKE HEAVY PLUMBER.
Steal Two Six-Inch Guns From Fort,
mt Sn

at Santiago.
A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says:
Several days ago Il was discovered that
the two modern six-inch Spanish guns,
comprising the Punta Gorda battery, which
commands the entrance to the harbor of
Santiago, were missing. This battery and
the guns of the Sacopa battery were the
only modern cannon employed by the Span
iards against the United States warships,
with the exception of those landed from
the Spanish cruisers.
Today the harhor police discovered the
guns, which had been carried to a forest
on the other side of the bay and been
broken by explosives, ready for shipment
as old metal
Several Spanish ships had been searched
by the police, who had expected to, dis
cover that the guns were being shipped by
the Spaniards to Spain. The sentries
guarding them were removed six months
ago. 1t was considered impossible to carry
off the guns. and there was no fear Of
malicious destruction. The thieves are now
in Jail.

cone containing chloroform was slipped
over its head. despite violent objection, and
IN few moments the animal was dead
When the knives of the surgeons laid
open the snakes lungs the doctors were
amazed The bronchial tubes lungs and

true consumption.
According to the operating scientists the
snake had undoubtedly acquired the dread

tuberculosis germs

STUDENTS STILL RIoTING. Intended Having an Imposing Demon. stration, But Police Interfered.

St. Petersburg, March 1s.-The students organized today what was intended to be an imposing demonstration in front of the cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, the occasion being the anniversary of the death of Vetrora, the girl who commit ted suicide some years ago in the unn- geon of the political prison in the fort ress of St. Peter and St. Paul in order to escape infamous prosecutions.
 Immediately crowds assembled on the principal street of the city and the ad- jacent thoroughfares. The military in eevn greater numbers occupied the dis tricts, and patrolied the streets and time after time feared the pavements. making many arrests, including teachers and pu- pills of the higher schools. Several of these women resisted arrests The de- monstration was held, but owing to the presence of the troops 1t was rather g mild affair. and although for a time ser ious consequences seemed likely to follow the brutality of the Cossacks in driving back the people with whips

Some Gossip of Mir. Philips

It may be of interest to those who ex- pect to hear MT. Arthur Philips on Thurs day afternoon, at the mid-Lenten soiree in the Woman's Club rooms, to know something of his achievements in his having passed his majority not many moons agone, yet the successes he has alreaady enjoyed might well be source of pride to an older man and a musician of many more years than himself His introduction to the South came through his engagement as choir leader of the Tulip Street Methodist church of Nash vile Tenn. The music committee of that church, visiting Boston in search of a musician to fill their needs, falling in with MT. Homer Norris, the eminent song writer, were directed to MT. Philips, whose youthful appearance was not pre- possessing to the ecclesiastical visitors However, his voice and evident masterful equipment soon overbalanced his seeming lack of years, and he came to the South in September last. Since his debut as a singer and director in that capital city he has assumed the directorship of not only the Tulip Street Choral Society, but also of the Orphens' Club, the chorus contingents of both the Wednesday Morn ing and the Philharmonic Societies, fa- nous for the high standard of music they maintain, the Vanderbilt Glee Club, and has recently been chosen director of the chorus for the forthcoming May Festival with Theodore Thomas
 This seems enough to fill one mans time, but MT. Philips enjoys the patron age of a large private class in voice cul- ture, and sings in out of town recitals on an average of once each week. To stu dents of voice culture MT. Philips is a most intere sting singer, for not consider ing his beautiful voice which is his by divine endowment, he brings to his work the most careful and sincere technical intelligence. It is sincerity and conscien- tious devotion to high standards that mark the true artist, and these are found in the work of MT. Philips, who is never content to do anything even in a private drawing-room where he is quite sure of being able to do his best. The audience on Thursday afternoon. therefore, may be sure of treat, and the Woman's Club is to be congratulated on affording the pub lie so delightful an entertainment at this season.
 An informal reception will follow the programme. adding a delightful feature to the afternoon. Four thirty is the hour, and admission is by tickets which are on

Leipsic Orchestra,

The Musical Courier of last week speaks conductor of the Leipsic Philharmonic Orchestra, and of his men.
 Orchestral concerts are not a novelty to New York City, and this particular orchestra had been heard there in it's American debut, but Carnegie Hall was filled to it's spacious capacity despite a dismal down pour of rain, on the occa- sion of the third appearance of the Leip- sic musicians in that hall. That the large audiene was Justified in braving the ele- ments the following is ample proof:
 "The members of the orchestra were evidently on their mettle, for they played with great spirit and accuracy, entirely outdoing their previous efforts since they arrived in New York. The concert IT all respects eclipsed its predecessors The audience could not repress its en- thusiasm and appla auded sincerely every thing that was offered. Perhaps the most fascinating number was "The Nutcrack- CT Suite,'' by Tschaikowsky, which was played most excellently The Hungarian Dances, too, were given with verve and captivating abandon, and were so insist ently encored that Conductor Winder- stein departed from his rule and granted a repetition"
 Slivinski, the pianist is sustaining the impression he made at his first appear ance, being honored with continued re- calls at eah performance.
 The Courier article concludes, Con ductor Winderstein and his men are gain ing admirers every day.
 March B-Thursday of next week-is the date for the Birmingham engagement and seats are now on sale at the boX office at the Jefferson Theatre.

Success of Extension Lectures

Dr. J. H. Philips is authority for the statement that the success of the univer- sity extension lectures is moro enoourag- ing this season than ever before, He Is naturally delighted at this evidence of appreciation on the part of Birmingham and declared that 1t speaks well for the culture of It's people. Dr. Philips states that the people are clamorous for tickets to the lectures and that fully 100 addi- ttonal tickets could have been quickly disposed of last Saturday. The assembly room at the high school. where the course of lectures Is being given. is already taxed to its capacity and yet the demand for tickets continues.
 It may be suggested that the promoters of the lectures, pluming themselves as they should do over success, place as conspicuous evidence of the popularity of these lectures, the s. R. o. placard in full view of the disappointed patrons.

 During his recent appearance in New York City, thousands of people who had heard him before packed into the inn mense Academy of Music to hear him again.

Wherever he appears in the cities of America he is greeted by i'm mense audiences.
 Dr. Talmage will fill only few dates this season, and the people of Birming- ham are fortunate in having the privilege of hearing him.
