Rock Island the Only Road to With
draw From W. P. A.

Chicago, April SIT is not believed
that any roads will initiate the Rock
Island in withdrawing from the West
ern Passenger association 1t is the
prevailing opinion that the Rock Island
officials pulled out of the big organiza-
ton for the purpose of forcing a re-
adjustment of certain features of the
agreement covering the larger assoeia-
ton and of the several auxiliary or
CARNATIONS.
In declining to withdraw from the
mileage and clergy bureaus of the
Western Passenger association the
Rock Island gives additional evidence
of the value of these organizations
Inquiry among general passenger
agents of other western lines yesterday
failed to develop any feeling against
either the association or the manage
ment of the Rock Island for its action.
A meeting of officers of roads, mem
bers of the association, may be called
to consider the conditions brought
about by the withdrawal OF the Rock
Island

Mexican 11s Years Old.

This morning a very old Mexican
could be seen at the G. H depot and
he attracted attention on the part of
passengers who saw him, says the e.
Paso Herald. He was asked his age
and replied that he is 11S years old. He
certainly looks it. His face and hands
are wrinIzled and the skin is hard and
rough. His fingers are long and bony
the skin having shrunk so as to make
the bones show plainly. The old fellow
is very feeble but talks plainly and in
terestingly OF his long life The old
Mexican is not a beggar he is amply
cared for by sons and grandsons, who
are proud of the old mans record.

Raleigh Times: Mr.. A. B. Stronach
Tuesday afternoon had a narrow es-
cap from what might have proven
fatal. He had his land within three
inches of a spreading adder, one of
the most poisonous of all v2ritieS of
snakes. Mr.. Stronach was starting
from home down street and went into
his yard to pull a switch for his horse.
When he reached down and caught TIE
root Of the -twig he heard a Kissing
sound and saw a snake coiled up. He
quickly withdrew his hand but was not
frightened then as he thought that it
was a harmless king snake. However,
when the reptile crawled out it proved
to be a spreading adder, 3Ls feet in
length. The snake pulled out and spit
yellow venom for our feet. Mr.. Dalen
Stronach killed the snake with a stick.
1t was a hne specimen OF this most
poisonous variety. A few evenings
since in walking across the carpet in
her bed room a lady stepped on some
thing under the carpet. She thought
at first that it was some article on the
floor, but to her establishment the OBJ
ject moved off under the carpet and
presently the head Of q snake appeared
between the carpet seams. It proved
mice. but the lady could not have
been more surprised or frightened If
the reptile had been a Demonstration.
