SNAKES.

J. d. Dole who owns land in the Wa
hiawa colony, has stirred up the au-
thorities in Washington with regard to
the Introduction of reptiles. At the
present time we are helpless as for pre-
venting the introduction of these OBJ
-iectionable creatures which would turn
what is ., present paradise into
very unpleasant dwelling place, At
present we can walk all over our hills,
1an plunge through thick grass and
ferns without the thought of any vene-
nous or noXious reptile giving the
slightest trouble to any ones mind.
Our reptilia consist of seven different
kinds of lizards, all OF them small and
beautiful rather than loathsome, while
we have introduced the bull frog and
the toad which are pSeful in tRat they
devour certain pests, and are certainly
harmless. .'''''
There was once, so the legend goes,
a scientific gentleman, who visited In
dia in the early sixties, and being inn
bued with the knowledge that rats
were injuring the cane in the few plan
tations we then had, determined that
some method should be employed to
check the progress of, the rodents. He
heard of the rat snakes and with much
difficulty obtained a box full, which,
when he got, on board the steamer he
most assiduously attended to. One day

scientist was taking along choice col

careful examination and that case Of
rat snakes went over into the waters
OF the Bay of Bengal. So the Islands

! Many years later vessel from Mex

or lockwood on board put into Hono-
lulu harbor in distress. II was discov-
cred that she swarmed with centipedes
and scorpions of a breed much superior
in size and venemousness to our own,
while there was very choice selection
Of snakes Which hard been feeding up
OF the ships rats and were in a fine
and lively condition, The Hawaiian
authorities had the vessel very thor
oughly fumigated for several days,
When the cargo was taken out and put
on the wharf, the display of defunct in
sects and reptiles was revelation to
Hawaiian eyes, And so the Islands es-
capped again.
Since then there have been a few iso-

WEDDING sQPERsTlTloNs.

The bride should not fail to shed a
few tears on her. wedding day. It is
an omen Of good luck in the future.
It is unIucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at one
door and leave after the ceremony by
another door.
The bride should always cut the first
piece of her wedding cake and pour out
the first glass of wine for her guests
IL there are not too many.
If the bride drops her handkerchief
on the wedding day and the bride
groom picks it up, it is sign that In
the future he will play second fiddle.
1t is said to be unlucky to tie shoes
to any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away, but
it is lucky to throw an old shoe after
the bride as she enters the carriage.
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore
most If she wishes to be happy,
healthy, ETC., in the future. and she
should always be the first to call her
husband by name.
After the wedding breakfast and re-
ception the bride should be careful to
throw away and lose all the pins, r
there are any about her. The brides
maids should not keep the pins them
selves or they will retard their chances
Of marriage.

A Modest Request.

To Judge from an incident reported
IN the Washington correspondence Of
the New York Tribune, the department
of agriculture sometimes appears from
a distance like big department store.
During the seasonewhen members Of
congress send out seeds one OF the
packages found its way back to the
sender, accompanied by note froEa
the farmer to whom it had been ad-
dressed. "t. i. ..G...... rH..
my dear SIR" wrote the farmer, q
appreciate your good will in sending
the seeds. but my eldest daughter, Ma
tilda. is going to marry the doctor
down to the village next month, and
wife and think Of giving up the farm
and going there to live. If we do, the
seeds won't be much good. as we
shan't have a garden; 80 If yeu could
change them for some stockings lNe.

No cases had been assigned for the

News Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Chicago, May 2.-Tne panic in the
live stock markets here continues.
Instead of becoming less, the conster-
nation is even greater than 1t was
Thursday when packers first refused to
buy live cattle at any price. 81
Friday the packers still refused to
buy cattle and the commission men,
fearing that the market would become
worse glutted, began sending tele-
grams to all points west notifying
farmers and shippers to hold back
their cattle.
1t is asserted that by refusing to buy
cattle the packers expect to be able
to keep up the exorbitant prices that
they have been asking, SO that they
can dispose of what they have in
cold storage before the collapse comes.
1t is said that they have contracts with
the great mass of retail butchers
which prevent these retailers from
buying from any one else. Under nat
uraf conditions they would be able
to buy beef on hoof and slaughter II
themselves, and thus be able to sell al
lower prices.
Cattle are offered at from % to 4C
cents hundred cheaper than they
were Tuesday, but retailers are not
able to secure the benefit. None of the
butchers have reduced the price OF
meats and retailers do not expect any
substatial drop in prices.
About noon it was announced that
the beef trust had weakened somewhat
and the retailers were notified that
dressed beef had dropped quarter
pork three and one-fourth, and NUT
ton half cent
If the weather turns warm the pack
ers will probably have to sell at lower
prices from now on.

ducked, and was soon running down
the street, throwing away watches
and rings as he ran, the detective in
hot pursuit.
The chase lasted for several blocks,
and when captured the fellow main
tained his innocence until the watches
and rings were taken from his per-
son. In this process the detective no.
ticed him put his hand to his mouth !;
saw the fash of diamond, and in

SANTOS DUMONT MUST
SHARE HIS H0N0RS
Brazilian Makes Q Successful
FIrst-Trial Trip With His
AiP-Ship at Paris.

Paris, May SIN spite of the threat
ening weather Senior Augusta Severe
the Brazilian aeronaut. made a sue
cessful first trial with his airship at
the vaugirard Aerostatic park Sun
day Senior Severo's airship is called
La Paix.
The balloon, held by rope, ascend
ed forty meters. The motors we're
then started. The balloon obeyed the
impulse of Its propellers, steering cas-
lily and maintaining perfect equili-
brium. After maneuvering for short
time Senor Severe safely returned the
airshlp to its shed. The few persons
who were present at the park enthu-
siastically applauded Senior Severe and
the two assistants who accompanied
him In the ascent
In Paix Is not unlike Santos Du-
mont's airships In appearance, but II
differs from them In many details
The gas capacity of La Paix Is nearly
four times greater than that of Santos
Dumont's airships. 1t has three main
propellers and two smaller ones used
for steering and in ascending and de-
scending. The two petroleum meters
of La paix are of twenty-four and
sixteen horsepower respectively.
Senior Severe said he would not
make another trial until there was
perfectly fair weather, and that he
would then attempt to extend his
flight.

canal bill through the legislature. The
bill turns over the BERNIE banks Of
canals to steam and electric railroads.
The Democratic caucus has declared
against the bill and as the Republi-

on the subject is doubtful. Great pres

had been offered $500 to vote for the
