Laura Nelson Hall. the leading lady OF
the Arden Stock Company at the Colum-
bia Theater. is the possessor of finely
bred Boston terrier. who boasts the har-
monious. II not appropriate. cognomen
Piccadilly. He possesses in addition 70
the ear marks of pstrician ancestry. a
well developed sense Of humor and sim
cere dog love for Mr.. Arden.
While Mr.. Arden reciprocates the af-
fection as evinced by Piccadilly, the
course of events at a rehearsal of The
Butterflies" on the stage of the Columbia
last Thursday morning has relegated
Piccadilly back TO the woods in so far
as his place in Mr.. ArdeD's affections is
concerned.
1t happened In this wise:
Mr.. Arden dreamed that Piccadilly had
in a moment Of playful vindictiveness
eaten the manuscript Of Henry Guy
Carleton's play, THE Butterflies which
awoke with a start, called up the hotel
where Miss Hall is stopping. and
anxiously inquired OF her ii Piccadi!ly
was breathing heavily or in any way
showing symptoms of impaired diges-
tion.
Miss Halls sH-eetly whispered reply
that 'Piccadilly was quite himself and
had passed a comfortable night" reassured
Arden, and he dismissed the terrors OF
the nightmare, at once attributlng it to a

the theater

"Oh, was 1t the manuscript you were

sadly sweet but naive intonation.

did you think we were looking for:

"Why, wanted TO look over the play,

Brigadier General T. NJ Henry, Sec
rotary of the Beauvoir fund, received
a letter from Mr.. H. NJ. Quinn, grand
keeper of records and seals Of the
knights of Pythias Of the State, en-
closing him q check for two hundred
and fifty dollars, the amount recently
contributed by the grand lodge at ita
Vicksburg meeting. Contributions
for this purpose are not coming in as
lively as the promoters would like
them, but still there are some amounts
being received almost every day. This
morning State superintendent Of edu-
cation Whitfield received word from
the principal of the public school al
Scranton stating that there had been
collected in the schools Of that town
the sum of $94 % for the purchase OF

in Scranton bank subject to the order
Of the Beauvoir committee.
AS yet the entire purchase money fol

hurried up, 80 that at as early date
as possible the property can be pur.
chased.

The first record l find of electricity
earning money was on April i, 1874
The only telegraph line then existing
was the government line from Balti-
more to Washington. AS the govern
ment had no use for it. consent was
obtained to charge for private mes
sages, the postmaster general fixing
the tariff at one cent for four charac-
ters, says a writer in the Electrical
review.
A certain politician was willing to
take the risk of being the first fool
but claimed to have only one cent in
change. The Washington operator
said to Baltimore for him, Il - which
was an agreed signal for what time
is it?" Tho reply came back, "one
o'clock" This customer seems to have
paid the first cent ever earned by this
great industry This was the only
revenue for four days. On the fifth
day twelve cents were earned.

Almost Killed oy Ants.

jackson, Miss, June 3.-Mr. L. T.
Anderson, one of the most prominent
cotton buyers in this section of the
State, came near being killed yester.
day afternoon by ants.
Mr.. Anderson was in Ills flower gar.
den cutting grass with grass blade,
when he stuck the end into an ant
nest and in some unaccountble way
knocked about million of tie vicious
itteI insects in his face and down his
collar. Wherever they stuck they
struck and proceeded at once to bust
ness. Mr. Anderson brushed and
knocked at them, but it seemed to dc
no good, and he ran for the house {,
where he tainted
Neighbors hearing the disturbance
ran to his assistance, tore his clothes
from him and soused him in a bath
tub, into which strong ammonia wa
ter had been poured by his wife. Mr..
Anderson regained consciousness il
five or six minutes, thought he was
going to die, told his family good-by
and tainted again. He was soon
brought around, however, and under
the care of his physician, who had
been hastily summoned, was soon put
out of pain by opiates. The unfortu-
nate man head and face swelled ur
to twice its normal size, and his ne eok
and hands looked like piece of raw
( beef. In relating his very unusual
experience Mr.. Anderson states that
the pain from tine innumerable stings
was indescribable, and declares that
he thought he was going to die. Nc
such ant experience was ever before
heard of in this section.

TO BE HOST
FRIENDS TO RATTLE
SNAKE SUPPER
RATHER is FATTENING
The Poison Sac Has Been Care
fully Extracted---Snake will
Be Killed Soon.

Clarks dale, Miss. June 3.-Capt
A. l.. Dabney, prominent citizen of
this place, announces TO his friends
that he will serve one of his famous
rattesnake suppers within the next
fortnight, and number of invitations
have been issued to the event.
A monster rattlesnake was recently
captured by Capt. Dabney and is now
undergoing the fattening process, and
the supper will take place at a time
when, in the judgement of the host,
the reptile has attained sufficient
obesity to be proper for serving. The
poison has been carefully extracted,
and the operation was performed with
out mishap.
About two years ago Capt. Dabney
startled Memphis with one of his
rattlesnake suppers at q prominent
cafe, and those who had the nerve to
partake Of the repast declared that
the snake had q delicious flavor, being
a happy medium beween the frog leg
and spring chicken.
