Rev. DR.. Talmage is a very prac-
teal man, as the following indicates:
1.-The Rev. Dewitt Talmage says that
"a newspaper whose columns over
flow with the ads of business men
has more influence in attracting at
tention to and building up city or
town, than any other agency that
can be employed. People go where
there is business. Capital and la Dor
willlocate where there is an enterpris-
ing community. No power on earth
is SO strong to build up town as a
newspaper we'll patronized and its
power should be appreciated DR..
Talmage is correct. You never vet
saw a live town that did not have a
live newspaper to boom its inter-
ests."

THE DEADLY MAUYACA SNAKE
Its Bite Renders the Victim SPECIFIES
and Ends Fatally.

A tragic story comes from Iron
cones. MiSantia, in the state Of Vera
Cruz, Of a horseback excursion, IN
which one Of the party was fatally bit
ten by snake known as mauyaca,
says the Mexican Herald.
The victim, d. Gregorio Flores Y

friends, had been passing the day IN
the country, and was returning to
Troncones. In riding through some
underground which reached well up
on the horses sides the beast ridden by
Mr.. Flores V Foglis sprang suddenly
into the air and then stood still,
trembling violently. His compsn-
ions, seeing from the riders face that
something was wrong, started TO 90
to him, but their horses refused to ap-
preach, showing absolute terror.
Meanwhile Mr.. Flores y FOglia, who
seemed unable to speak, fell from his
horse. making signs to his friends in
the direction Of something in the un-
derbrush. where. to their horror. they
saw an enormous snake making off
through the bushes The injured
man, who had lost his speech, COM
municated TO his companions that at
the moment their horses refused to
approach the snake was still wound
about his leg. having just bitten him.
He was removed TO his home. but in
spite Of everything that could bedone
for his relief he died a few hours
later.

AUTOMATIC FLAGMEN.
New Device for Avoiding Accids Mt
Near Railway Stations

With view TO preventing acct
dents al level crossings in the neigh
borhood Of railway stations, very
ingenious mechanism has recently
been tried in France. 1t consists es-
sentially Of huge hook or catch,
made Of iron, which i connected with
lever at the station by means Of a
wire, through which a current Of cleo
tricity passes. When it Is lying in it's
place the train passes over it quite
easily, but as soon a. il i raised it
catches a lever which Is attached to
the engine. The lever thus caught
causes an air valve on the engine to
open al once, so thattfe whole train is
brought to a standstill within a verv
short distance II foggy weather the
Use Of such an apparatus cannot be
over estimated, a. it Is calculated to
prevent train running into another

WHAT "BILL" ANTHONY DID SAY.
Correct Wording of His Famous Report
to Sigsbee


From the 81. Louis Republic.
Captain Sigsby was incorrectly rep
resented in a Washington dispatch
recently as having exploded the 'Bill
Anthony story in a lecture before
the Union Veteran Legion, and as
having said that Anthony never
made his famous report that the
vessel has been blown up and Is sink
ing" In denying this story, Captain
Sigsby threw some new light on the
Anthony incident.
IL did not discredit the Anthony
story" said Captain Sigsby. ION
the contrary, | told it over again and
paid tribute TO the gallantry which
Anthony displayed. 1t was brave
action, and all the more admirab BILE
because there was nothing
dramatic about it, no self conscious
ness, nothing but the plain, matter
of-fact performance Of what Anthony
considered to be the simple discharge
Of an ordinary duty.
'He did not use the often quoted
expression: Sir, have the honor
to report. That would have been
dramatic. One can imagine Il French
man or q man ofanother nationality
more excitable and more sentimental
than ours, making the report in
that way But Anthony's way of
doing it was typically American, cool
matter-of-fact, business.like, and as
il it were a matter OF routine.
He might have been excused if he
had jumped overheard instead OF

therefore, raise his hand in salute
and make the dramatic report with
which he has been credited On the |
contrary he ran into me, ard | said: |
who's that? Neither of us could |

thusiam can carry man through a
great deal, but Anthony's cropping

better thing than dramatic action

thusiasm. | replied: Very good

the purpose Of robbing them and Of killing
them if they resist They will be protected
by US. The duty to defend newcomers,
taken in connection with the F,ilipinos'
jealous hatred of them. will cause them to
become an unendfng source Of disturbance
to US, a constant annoyance and care If
there were no other reason than this for
preventing a large increase Of their pres
ent numbers 1t might not suffice. But the
fact remains that If the United States, in
the interest of the Filipinos, regulates and
restricts firmly and justly the incoming of
additional Chinese 1t will serve the real in
terests of the Chinaman as we'll as of the
natives. 1t Is better for the Chinese them
selves that they should be kept at home
under the American policy than that they
should freely enter under the Spanish pol
icy to face the hostile Filipnos At this
time, when the United States is laboring
with all it's might to eliminate the causes
of Filipino disturbance and to quiet the
land it would be folly to take on deliber-
ately and unnecessarily a fresh breeder of
strife.
The Chinese minister does not do well to
threaten the United States even indirectly
and remotely with loss of Chinese favor and
Chinese trade. The republic is the only
great power which is not covetous of Chi
mas territory, which has never played the
part of national highwayman toward 1t,
whose present policy distinctly tends to
prevent China's dismemberment, and whose
trade aspirations in Asia, IL realized, will
be, as beneficial to China as to the republic
itself.
