Head Of Steel Trust Will Give Ur

Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. ia Loretto.
Pa, special to the Pittsburg Dispatch
says: President Charles NJ. Schwab, of
the United States Steel Corporation
has accepted the advice of physicians
and decided to retire indefinitely from
an active business life. He will leave
America to seek some quiet nook in a
foreign cline, where not an echo of the
strenuous life he has led can reach him.
This information is authentic.
DIR. Golden never leaves the Schwab

Mr.. Schwab is not confined to his
bed, but spends much of his time on

A Common Snake,

The common snake, which bears the
scientific name of Tropidonotus natrix,
Is one species Of a genus Uropidonotus,
which extends over Europe and North
America and from northern Asia to
north Australia, there being seventeen
or eighteen Indian species alone. Our
common snake may serve as an exam
pie Of the largest family into which
serpents are divided-the family colu-
brldn-of which there are upward of
1G5 species in India alone. The family
contains most of the harmless snakes,
and it is also illustrated by a small
snake, Coronella austraca. which some
years ago was discovered to be an in
habitant Of Dorsetshire and Hamp-
shire. The coronella feeds exclusively
on lizards. slow worms and small
snakes. Though harmless, 1t will bite.

Nelson's Odd Appearance,

Nelson's Odd Appearance.
When Lord Nelson was commanding
the Mediterranean squadron and lying
off the bay Of Biscay. the captains Of
two Spanish frigates lately arrived
from America sent to entreat the honor
OF an audience with the admiral. merely
to give themselves the qualification of
seeing a person whom they considered
to be the greatest man in the world
Captain Hardy took their request to
Lord Nelson and urged compliance
with 1t, Notwithstanding the admiral's
querulous reply Of, "What is there to
see In an old, withered fellow like my.
selfY
Nelson always wore short breeches
and silk stockings, and at this moment
his legs We're bound at the knee and an.
kle with pieces Of brown paper soaked
In vinegar and tied with red tape. The
application was to allay the irritation
OF some mosquito bites.
Quite forgetting this and the extraor-
dinary appearance it presented, he
went on deck to the Spanish captains
and conducted the interview with such
perfect good breeding and courtesy that
his odd appearance was quite forgotten
In the charm Of his manners, and the
Spaniards went away with every high
opinion confirmed which they had pre-.
viously formed Of Lord Nelson.

AFTER BRITISH GOLFERS.
Foreign Experts May Compete With
Crack Americans.

From the New York World.
Golfers in this country have not got over
their longing to meet foreign team Of
amateurs from Great Britain on American
soil. From recent developments it Is not
improbable that the matter will again be
taken up by some of the leading clubs Of
the eastern district. The plan is to send
challenge to several Of the leading golfers
abroad.
This matter was preached at the last an
nuaa meeting Of the United States Golf
Association, when 1t was suggested that
sum of money be put aside to defray the
expenses Of the visitors. Quite little In
terest was manifested IN the scheme, put
the matter faileD to get the ASSOCIATION
official support and sanction. because OF the
old sentimental objection to paying money
for amateur exhibitions.
A short time afterward, however, an at
tempt, originating with some OF the Fox
Hills Golf Club members, toward raising
the money by private subscription came to
light. Matters even went SO far as the
forming of committee to look into the
feasibility Of the plan and II practicable,
open negotiations. By the time the plan
got fairly under way the season had ad-
vanced too far.
last night: THE idea has not been given
up entirely. but simply allowed to lie dor
mant for a while. Those who have looked
into the matter carefully know that quite
