Guy matted STOCK Still ana held his
breath. The carriage was upon the
men and almost past them before
any attention was paid to it. 1t was
the Colonel's fortune to catch first
sight of the ladies who were leaning
back on the rear seat in the shelter
of the side curtains.
There they are!" cried Keever.
'Stop that team! Catch the horses
heads!'
But Barney piled the lash vigor-
ously and before the Colonel's COM
panions were able to act on his
warning the carriage was beyond
them all and whirling it's passengers
rapidly away.
The road to Harmony led past the
Depot, across the railroad tracks and
then bore off to the left.
With a fresh team apd good
start there is no doubt but that
Barney would have distanced his pux.
suers had not the road been unex-
pectedly blocked.
The noon train suddenly drew up
to the depot platform. It was q
long train and SO completely OBJ
structed the way that there was no
getting around it without turning
squarely about and retracing the
move would have been disastrous,
for the pursuers were not more
than hundred yards behind. A yell
of triumph went up from the threats
of Col. Keever and his men.
Guy started at a run for the scene.
Before he came anywhere near the
carriage, however, he saw Miss
Vlandingham and Miss Pinkney de-
scend from it and hurry to the train.
A brakeman helped them up to the
steps of the nearest car, signaled
$50 ahead" to the conductor and the
latter gave the word to the en-
gineer.
But already Col. Keever, painting
like a porpoise, had clutched the
iron hand rail. Close behind him
was Dick Pettibone, the sheriff.
Hold this train!" beloved the
Colonel.
Get off, there!" shouted Barney,
holding the lines between his knees
and finging the shotgun to his shout
der. Drop off that train, Col.
Keever, or I'll shoot!'
The train had begun to move. Pet
tibone had not been able to get
aboard, but the Colonel had and was
standing on the lower step.
He looked around at Barney's COM
mand, and the sight of the gun stag
gered him.
Don't shoot, don't shoot!" he
cried frantic " and sprang to the
ground, lost footing, fell fiat and
rolled over over in the dust Of
the road.

Ignorance

Blows out the gas and furnishes
the newspapers with a jest and
an obituary notice. wDidn't
know it was loaded" may be
an honest plea, but it never
brought a victim back to life.
Those who let a cough run on,
in ignorance of the danger,
find no escape from the con-
sequences when the cough de-
velops into lung trouble.
The best time to kill a snake
is in the egg. The best time
to cure a cough is when it
starts. Ordinarily, a few doses
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will cure a
cough at the beginning. But
even when the cough is deep
seated, the lungs bleed and the
body is wasted by emaciation,
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will in ninety-eight
cases out of every hundred effect
a perfect and permanent cure.

UNCLE SAM"

The constant use of familiar and
 timeworn terms rarely suggests the fact that we seldom have even a re- mote idea of the origin of those terms. Out of one of many such examples take the cognomen Uncle the country of the American eagle is known from Behring sea to the rivers of the Ind. The term Uncle Sam is used habitually by his 70.O00.000 sub- jects, but ask the average American citen the origin of the name of the tall, angular figure, pictured n stripe trousers and starred coat, and in nine cases out of ten you have propounded q conundrum to which the solution is vague at the best. Now and again. maybe. your query will be met and answered by the throughly posted per- son of long memory. who perchance halls from Troy and still retains the traditions of his historic city. But rarely will you get the whole story. of the original Uncle Sam, that kind hearted and honorable worthy, whose family name was Wilson, and who came as boy to the Trojan City just DclOIe lue III Qc SlccIG ulu0l06ulu Ce1- tury began This Samuel Wilson, by reason of thrift and faithfulness soon came into Government employ as in- spector of provisions for the United States army, and the quaint ssU S." appended to all signatures and pencil ed on all provisions by this able stew ard stood as well for the Uncle Sam that he had long been dubbed by young and old, as for the United States Army that he represented.

TRUE SNAKE STORY.
Twenty-Six Big Reptiles Killed in
 the Midst of Winter.
Farmer HadseII Discovers the Cause of Trouble with Spring and Inaugurates a War of An~
 utilization.

According to the Hartford (Conn.) correspondent of the New York Sun, Deacon Joseph Pepper, of the Meth odist church of West Avon, is truth ful and a teetotaler, and doesn't see snakes where no snakes are. Through him remarkable tale of snakes has been made public.
 Silas Daniels is member of Dea- con Peppers church, and he was an eyewitness of part of the occurrence and was in at the death. It was from him that Deacon Pepper learned the particulars.
 On the farm of Adelbert Hadsell, a neighbor of Daniels, is fine spring that never freezes over, even in the coldest weather. Hadsell carries the water from the spring through q pipe to the barn for watering his live stock.
 Recently the cattle refused to drink the water, and Hadsell noticed few days ago that the water, which is usually clear and pure, had become slightly muddy. He went to the spring to investigate.
 He saw nothing unusual about the spring at first, except that the wa ter was muddy, as though some an- imal had worked up the mud at the bottom. MT. Hadsell returned to the barn for pitchfork, and when he got back to the spring he made an in yestigation.
 He jabbed the pitchfork about in the water without striking anything but the mud at the bottom. While he was thus engaged he noticed that the bank at one side of the spring seemed to be in motion
 He stuck the fork into this Place and pried up clod of the frozen earth. leaving hole about large

WILLING TO TURN IRISH.

Bishop Conaty, rector of the Cath olic university at Washington, while on a visit to Brooklyn recently. told of a priests experience in a small New England town. The clergyman was just about to retire for the night when he heard q knock at his door. He called, Come in,'' and negro presented himself, and said, rather shamefacedly:
 Father, there is a girl outside. May 1 bring her in?''
 Assent having been given, he dis appeared for q moment. and returned with a white woman, and informed the scandaliZed priest that they wished to be married.
 He was shown the door with promptness and the girl was severe ly admonished oil the course she was pursuing.
 Fifteen minutes later there came another knock, and on opening the door the priest found himself again face to face with the would-be col ored bridegroom.
 With great indignation the priest said:
 T thought I sent you about your business before.v
 The darky paralyzed him with this reply:
 Yes, I know you did, Father James, but Mary and I have talked it over. and we thought maybe you would look at the matter differently if you knew 1 was willing to turn Irish.''

enough to hold mans fist. Out of this shot the head of a large black snake. MT. Hadsell promptly killed it and dragged iG out of the hole. Two more heads made their appear ance and these two snakes were also dispatched.
 When Hadsell looked at the spring again the whole bank seemed to be a living mass of reptiles. He threw down his pitchfork and ran for assist, ance. He found Daniels, and the two, each armed with pitchfork, made an attack upon the army of snakes.
 They had a big task. The spring was full of hissing, writhing, wrig- gling snakes, some of them of great size. For a time the battle waged fiercely, but at length the farmers routed the enemy with great slaugh- ter. After it was over they counted 26 dead snakes on the bank of the spring. the snakes being from three to five feet long and one of them measuring 12 inches around the thick est part of it's body.
 They are not certain that some of the snakes did not escape slaughter by remaining concealed in the hole. It is not known why these snakes should have shown so much activity in cold weather, for if they had been peacefully hibernating. as a self-re- specting snake should ao, they would not have brought down upon them selves such prompt destruction. It is Sunnosed that there is cavern or waterway through which the snakes reached the spring, and that they were stirred to activity and vigor when they found that the spring was not frozen over.

FRANKIE CARPENTER.

A week of repertoire was opened at Polls theater last night, when Frankie Carpenter and Jere Grady, with very clever company, began the weeks eh- gagement. It was very stormy eYen- ing vet a good crowd was in attend ance and the performance gave excel lent satisfaction. Shelter Bay" Was the production last night, and the thread of the story would recall those favorite plays of ''Sag Harbor anu shore Acres" Both the stars niade decided hits and the rest of the com pany performed well. The specialties between the acts were also worthy O. .commendation. The stage settings were appropriate and everything con- nected with the performance ran smoothly. Some of the climaxes were very startling and there was suthclent enthusiasm to make the performers feel gratifed. This company shoata meet with success for the week, Tor the plays to be presented are all good ones and there is no doubt but that each will be given full justice. To night the play will be Strange Adven- lures of Miss Brown" The matinefs will be given each day and tomorrow afternoon s.The Garrison GirF' will De presented.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

Even the blizzard could not keep people away from the Jacques yester- day, there being two surprisingly large audiences in evidence when con- sideration is taken of the weather. Undoubtedly much of the interest shown in braving the elements was due to the desire to see the charming comedienne, May Edouin, of Flora dora" fame, in vaudeville. Local theater-goers were already familiar with the extraordinary success she had made ill "Floradora'' during the prolonged run of that piece in New York, and they were prepared for a genuine treat in the sketch, "All In The Family" which she presents with the help of Fred Edwards. And 1t may be said they were not disap- pointed. It is very amusing sketch, indeed. and the splendid success it had already won on the Keith and Proctor circuits was duplicated here yesterday The sketch will un- doubtedly prove big success here during the week. The remainder of the bill is very attractive also, being replete with comedy and novelty Among those who contribute to this part of the show are Mir and Mrs Au- gustin Neuville, Professor Gillette with his monkeys, John F. Clark, Princess Chinquilla, the three Keat- ings, and others. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10: evening prices for all, 10, 20 and 80 cents

House committee on appropriations, took
charge OF the work and secured a meeting
OF the committee. Favorable recomn.enda-
ton was reached and the relief MEASURE
went to the House with an increase I'd $780,
coo. There the dwindling Democratic opposi-
tiOn soon disposed of and Mr.. Hemen-
way had the satisfaction of sending the
measure back to the Senate for action about
o'clock. Senator Fairbanks passed it
through the Senate in a few minutes and
before dark 1t was in the office of the
President. This is the most expeditions
handling OF any large public measure of
urgent Importance which Congress has seen
in long time. Much credit is due 10 the
energy and perseverance of Mr.. Fairbanks
In the Senate, and Mr.. Hemenway took
charge of the matter in the
House in d most mastery manner.
The House bill was really a
substitute for the relief measure PASSED
by the Senate and followed the receipt of
message from the President setting: forth
the magnitude of the calamity and Urging
an appropriation of $500, 900. The mdssage
follows:

as he shall deem advisable for the rescuing
and succoring of the people who are desti-
tute and threatened with starvation, the
sum of 100000 is hereby appropriated.
In the execution of this act the Presi-
dent is requested to ask and obtain the ap-
proval of the French government, and he
is hereby authorized to employ any vessels

employ any other suitable vessels or steam
ships"
In presenting the bill Mr.. Hemenway
urged the need of prompt action. saying
thousands might die through delay.
Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, said he was
opposed to the measure and would vote
against it, Members were not here, he
said, to legslate on the impulse of their
heartstrings. He believed it would have
been more appropriate for the President to
send a message of coincidence TO the gov
ernment of France.
Mr.. McRae, of Arkansas, made an appeal
for prompt and unanimous action in the
interest of humanity, and Mr.. Livingston
of Georgia, added the hope that the coun-
try would not turn back upon its record
for succoring those in distress without
reference to nationality or locality.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, of New York, sought to
have the amount amended to 100000 in ac-
cordance with the Presidents recommenda-
tion. but in view of the unanimous action
OF the committee the amendment was not
pressed. The bill was passed-196 to g.
