Snakes In Uncomfortable Quantities.

makes IN OncomIortapIe Iudntit'es.
william Medigar. while in town
last week, mentioned that John Fish
er, a resident at the county poor
farm. had killed 40 water snakes,
which he had found in an excavation
close to the river. The reptiles were
of all size and Mr.. Medigar accounts
for the occurrence of 30 many in the
one location by their evidently having
just emerged from winter quarters.
A request will in all probability be
made by several of the residents at
the poor farm to have snake medi-
cine always kept on hand in view Of
the presence of so many of the rep
tiles and a proviso will M doubt go
with the request that a liberal dose
of the cure be distributed amongst
the inhabitants of the institution
each day.

LETTER TO H. E. CUTLER.
BARRE, VT

Dear Sir: Y u are an artist. what
do YOU know about paint:
White lead il 1000 years old, and
zinc about SO. The Greeks knew
white lead. So"
Lead and oil is old-fashion paint,
and zinc is baby comparatively.
But zinc, if properly ground with lead
pro ongs the life Of the paint from
about three years at the most, to six.
DO you know that: 1t isn't your
business 20 know it: but you are an
artist. The sun that paints for you
destroys lead and oil, but scarcely L.
fectS DevOe.
Devoe is the paint that lasts six
years; yes two or three times six
years in favorable conditions.
Yours truly.

WILL APPEAL ID
 HIGHER COURTS Nicely, Rathb ,ne and Reeves Will Not Drop Case DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS Basis for Appeal VIII Be On Point of Law and Procedure-Findines
 of Fact Cannot Be
 Reviewed.
DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS

Washington, March 25.-Oflcial advices received by he Postoffice Department this afternoon from the director general of posts of Havana indicate that Rathbone. Nicely and Reeves, who were sentenced yesterday to ten years imprisonment each and heavy fines as the result of the Cuban postoff1ce frauds, will appeal from their senttnces to the Supreme Court of Cuba, the highest tribunal in the island
 The basis for the appeal will be points of law and procedure. The findings of fact made by the court are not reviewa- ble. The separate fines according to the official report aggregate $127.5s6, which Is stated to be the sum of the shortage in the general account and In the sur charged stamp account. The decision of the court is understood to have been unanimous on the general charges of em- bezzement and conspiracy as to all three defendants. Ex-Director General Rath- bone, however, Is believed to have been absolved from the charges as ito strips and general personal expenditures"

SENTENCE TOO SEVERE.
People of Rathbone's Homo Town Are
 Shocked Over Punishment.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 25.-A special to the News from Hamilton, O., says:
 Hamilton was shocked at the severity of the sentence imposed in Havana on Estes G. Rathbone It was felt here that Rathbone was culpable, principally through the love of luxury and social display, which lost him fortunes here, but. nobody feels that he is willfully criminal or that he would embezzle.
 A conviction and a light sentence would have been generally approved by Ham, sentence Is too severe.
 special to the News from Muncie Ind, says:
 If Charles D. W. Neefy's fine is paid he will probably have to pay 1t himself as 1t Is claimed his relatives are unable to do so, although many of them are worth several thousands of dollars each in property.
 It Is commonly believed that Nicely could pay the fine himself If he choose.
 Ross Cowan whom Neely elevated to the presidency of the Neely Printing Go. here, was downcast by the sentence. He said:
 MT Neely and had been good friends. As far as his dealings with me are con- cerned, he was perfectly honest. deep- ly regret this sentence. I had hoped he would come clear. The sentence was too severe"

SEVEN MEN KILLED.
Bank of Earth Caves In at Cleveland,
 BuryIng Workmen.

Cleveland, O., March 25.-As the result of cave In of a hugh bank of earth at the Main street plant of the Cleveland Gas Light and Coke Company this after noon, seven men are dead Their names are:
 Colegeo Amati, Guissepi Bergozzo, Vim cenzo Lisuzzo, Andrew Hahn. Peter Breast, an Italian whose name has not yet been learned, Edward Lynch.
 The men were working close to a bank of clay when 1t suddenly gave way, bury ing them. Fellow workmen immediately began the work of rescue and in a very short time six of the men had been taken out Some of them were alive. others were already dead, their lives having been smothered out.
 Workmen employed at the scene of the disaster give as cause Tor the fall of clay the thawing of the ground by the warm sun, which made the clay looser than it had been previously.
