HAS PECULIAR PETS.
Miss Sanderson Loves All Kinds ot
 Crawling Things.
Among Her Prime Favoritee Are Giln Monsters, RahtIesnakea, Tarantulas, Liza rds, Toads
 and Other Serpents.

Harboring pets whose sting means death, caressing them, teaching them tricks and attending to their needs and comforts quite as eagerly and affertionately as other glrls look after their cats, dogs or canary birds, is favorite occupation with Miss Lillian Sanderson, who lives among the beautiful oak-covered hills just back of Nordhoff, Cal.
 Miss Sanderson, says the San Fran cisco Examiner, is of a dashing bru- nette type, and is great social fla vorite, being vivacious and witty and possessing a remarkably rich, full contralto voice. To look at her, to hear her sing or speak, one would never suspect that she derived her greatest happiness in life from com panionship with colony of creeping, crawling, sinuous creatures or from spending several weeks at time in some old shack in the mountains while hunting for new specimens to add to her lively collection.
 When Miss Sanderson asked of her parents that a room in their hand some new home be set aside for her pets there was naturally some op- position to establishment of verita- ble Dante's Inferno within the con- fines of the family residence; but her whims have always been gratifed and, as usual, the girl had her way, the result being that one of the larg- est, sunniest apartments is thronged with. outdoor denizens-snakes, Gila monsters, tarantulas, lizards of many species and other queer inhabitants -the whole making a display so for midable that even Satan himself would drop his pitchfork and run from the scene.

to see what the matter was. The con- ductor stopped to look at her in her helpless state.
 .Wha.'s the matter, madam?" he in quired.
 ..Oh, nothing. Bread is rising, can't you see? Oh, get away!"
 She got her fingers in the dough and then she got mad. She tried to pull them. She tried to close the satchel, but it would not close.
 "Confound that thing" she said, and the satchel, comb, mirror and dough disappeared out through window.
 When she tells her friends about the case now she laughs at the horrid fel- low-passenger and conductor, but she did not feel like it then.
 She was coming to visit friend in Lewiston. This friend admired her bread very much and said it was the best in the world, so, not having any bread ready to bring with her, she seized upon large piece of dough which was rising in a pan before the fire and wrapping it in a napkin she placed it in her grip with the above result.

DOUGH ROSE ALL RIGHT.
The Emba rrassing Experienco of . kind-Hearted Housewife of
 SkOwhe egan.

A medicine bottle, mirror and a bunch of keys, all sticking to chunk of dough as large as your head, was the sight, says the Lewiston Evening Journal, that met Skowhegan wom- ans view when she opened her satche1 in the Skowhegan car en route to Lew iston, Me.
 She had wondered for some. time what it was that was swelling out the sides of her satchel in such an unpro- portionate manner, and she opened the satchel to find out. She struggled to close it, but she could not. The man in the rear seat looked over her back

born in the mountains near great mine in which her father was inter ested, and as soon as she was able to toddIe among the rocks that sur rounded the log-cabin home her baby voice shouted merrily at every bug, spider, worm or lizard that crossed her pathway. She played with them, handling them carefully, tenderly and crooned to them as most children croon to their dolls, and they seemed to reciprocate her affection by con- tented submission.
 One day when she was three years old she slipped out and away while her mother was busy with household tasks. When she was missed the usual calls failed to bring her. Sev- -eral hours passed by and the moth CT became almost frantic with fear. for there were mountain lions in the surrounding forests, as we'll as many other dangers that might assail the child. A search party was organized, and after tramp of two miles through the wilderness the youngs- ter was discovered behind huge powder with an immense coiled rat tier beside her, which she was strok- ing as contentedly as if it. had been kitten.
 The snake also seemed to be en- toying itself immensely, and the soft ly vibrating rattles made sound like purring. The father, mortified, quickly grasped the baby from dan- ger and then killed the snake. The child screamed and sobbed and ragged over the loss of her pet and it was many days before she recovered her usual sweetness of temper.
 After that memorable experience father and mother watched the child more carefully, but in spite of their diligence She enjoyed many play hour with snakes that she found or which she enticed from their holes. They never offered to bite her, but accepted her caresses as matter of course, and so it was with every na- ture thing. She seemed to possess some remarkable power that soothed and made wild creatures docile and tractable at her will. At last her parents discovered that she was car rying on these meetings. and find- ing that no harm resulted from her strange associates they gradually be- came reconciled to her having rep tilian pets, but comma nded that the "beasts" be kept in one place, and be not introduced into the general domestic life. And so, with the ex- ception of huge gopher snake that rids the place of mice, and few hnrnad loads r1e IL on the sunny window sills and catch flies, all the pets are now relegated to one room, some having their individ- ual glass cages, while others enjoy the freedom of the apartment

JEROME
S < .,s .,s x gss9gs

The popular approval of the dra- 1natization of Mary E. Wnkins's well known novel, Jerome" which Walter E. Perkins and an excellent company will present at Polls this evening" seems to indicate that the theater- going public welcomes change from the old familiar ''rurad drama, but still appreciates and enjoys the life of the open fields when it is we'll de scribed. Mary Wilkins has been ia miliar with the simple country folk since her girlhood and knows her char atcers from the heart. Her drawings are therefore lifelike and true, her hu- nor not strained and her work sincere. The production is an elaborate one; the scenic equipment and properties being complete in every detail. The destruc- tion of the saw mill in the third act is a marvellous piece of stage realism. Prices are 25. B and 50 cents.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

People who want to forget the trou- bles through which the city is passing, as well as those who would fain forget their own, are finding solace this week in the fine vaudeville show at the Jacques. Matthews and Harris with their jolly comedy morceau Adam the Second have the goods to drive away dull care, make men love their mothers in-law and cultivate the real philosophy of life. which is to be happy under any and all circumstances. The fun the second Adam has in his enlightened experience with the innocent maiden of the Andes is conta gious, and the audience find themselves splitting with laughter as they hear the funny breaks of the maiden and the jolly repartee of the man. It is most amusing com edietta to be enjoyed by those who like real fun. There is plenty, too, in the other acts on the bill to. keep an audi ence highly entertained, and one will have no dull moments who spends an afternoon or evening at the Jacques this week. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10.

BALLOTS DEFECTIVE.

ASSESSORS WITHOUT SALARIES.
New Brunswick Aldermen Confirm Appoint
ment but Reject Salary Resolution.

New Brunswick, Sept. 12.-This
city has three assessors without any
salary, this queer state of affairs
having been brought about at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen
Thursday night. Mayor George A.
Viehmann sent to the board a com
munication to the effect that he had
appointed former Assessor William B.
Davis, William H. Price and Peter
Kinney as three assessors at-large
under the act of 1895.
The Republican members thought
this very nice if it did away with the
three valuers appointed under the
charter. They asked for an opinion
from City Attorney Weigel as to this
fact, and he said the assessor act
might by implication do away with
the valuers, but it would take a de-
cision of the Supreme Court to settle
this matter, he thought, as there was
a diversity of opinion on this point.
The communication was received,
and Alderman Runyon introduced a
resolution providing that the salary OF
the three men be $500 each. The form
err single assessor got 81, 900. A vote
was taken on the adoption of the reso-
luton, and it was lost by a tie vote,
6 to 6, one Republican member being
absent. Alderman Fink and Harkins,
two of the Democratic members, voted
with the Republicans, killing the
resolution. 1.-THE appointments stand
anyhow" said Alderman Runyon.
Eyes, they stand all right replied
Alderman Harkins, one of the Demo-
cratic members voting against the
move, "but without any salary"
Maybe we car pass the resolution
when the new baord comes in in
November, was Alderman Munyon's
reply.
