 ''They say that is good for snake bites.' he said, pointing to the glass. "It isn't good for much else"
 T have got snake in here," con- tinued Thurston. Would you like to take your whisky as a medicine"
 The great rattler coiled about the mans arm. He held it's head near his face, and while the men looked on in horror the serpent struck at him. Thurston caught the snake by the neck. Then he turned to the men in the saloon and, with bow, thrust the reptile into his mouth. The next in stant he fell to the floor with g scream, and the snake, breaking away, writhed across the floor. A man killed 1t with an ax as Thurston lay screaming In agony. He was removed to the hospi- tai, where he died.

EXPECTS STRANGE VISION.
Distinguished War Artist Has Queer Dream and Constantly Expects
 It's Fulnllment.

Friends of distinguished war artis, now in Manchuria are said to be taking an almost uncanny interest in his re. turn from the scene of war. It rises out of a strange story told by the artist him. self. Years before the artist began his long record of campaigns he was out walking along a quiet square in his na tive city when. looking down, he sud- denly saw a pool of blood on the pave. ment. Instantly. the story goes, from the shock of tho sight, he went off into a sort of trance. He was on bleak plain. running for his life from three pursuing horsemen. He saw their faces, knew that his efforts to escape were hope. less and then swift blade descended and cut off his head After that he came to himself and resumed his walk, but he had always a conviction that this vision foreboded the manner of his death. Once during campaign in the Soudan, when the British square was broken, he was pursued. It was with relief that ha recognized that the mounted pursuers were not his men, the men of the vision. He wonders still when he will meet them.

LIVED IN MIRROR PALACE.
Prodigai Russian Who suuandered q Vast Fortune Is Sent to
 Insane Asylum.

From Tornsk comes curious history of . modern Narcisus. His name is Vlad. imir Yevdokimoff, the son of one of the s richest merchants ins Russia. W After spending millions of rubles in all sorti of foolish ways he retired to Tomsk with
 a considerable fortune in his hands. He , bought a wooded hill in the neighbor. hood and on the summit of 1t built a
 glass palace. One of the largest of ths rooms is n mirror hall, in which walls roof and floor are formed only of mir. TOTS. In the middle of this hall Yevdok imoH had throne erected which re
 yoived on pivot like a piano stool
 Here he woull sit for hours, turnina backward and forward and admirins himself in the mirrors. Gorgeous robes were in nsighboring room, and in the course of the day he would change his
 garments a score of times. His ad
 imitation of himself in the mirrors wal sometimes varied by elabroate ban. quets, to which only women were in. vited, and which are said to have re.
 sembled the Thracian mysteries. They were attired as Bacchantes and he pre-. sided. crowned with roses. Tn five years
 he squandered' TOGO. 1000 rubles and is
 now in an asylum for the insane.

prevailed among the regular and state officers No assumption of superiority or condescension was manifested In u single instance, as far as knew or heard.
 ''The general plan of these maneu- vers was too advanced for the first field work of troops, and was too ex, tensive for raw, unhardened men. Less extended exercises would give the state troops better teaching.
 "I think substantially all our officers and men are glad of the experiment. They will probably welcome the old state camp for next year at least It Is not probable that we shall have an. other opportunity for joint maneuvers for two or three years, as troops of other states must be given their turn. But when the chance comes again believe Connecticut troops will be en- thusiastic to go.
 II take the liberty of quoting the following from letter received from General Grant:
 Your troops showed splendid dis cipline and proved themselves soldiers of high order. hope some time in the future l may have your brigade with me in maneuvers.'
 sIn those words Is recompense for our hardships."

At Belle vue. where the girl repeated her story. the doctors decided she was insane, but that much Of her story undoubt- sdly was true.
 The girl had gone through terrible suffering and exposure. Her condition verified her story to considerable ex- tent. Her face was mass of rcd biotches which were found to be mos quito bites. Her eyes were sunken and her face was emaciated. Her clothes were torn. and her hair un- kempt. Although she said she was 23, she looked at least 36. She ate raven Dusly of food given her by the matron of the police station. Magistrate Whit man asked her what she had been been doing.
 I've been living for two weeks in the park without food and didn't feel hungry. Isn't that funny, said the girl
 When pressed for more of her story the girl talked rationally She said her home is in Ypsilanti, Mich. She said she had been educated as a type writer in Q business college at Ypsi- lanti She came to New York two years ago.

That is what have been doing ever since. Sometimes saw policeman and was on the point of asking for help, but could not get up sufficient courage.

They were eating lunches from boxes. l hid behind ciump of bushes for hours, 1t seemed, until the children left, then hurried out, and in the ooxes gathered up scraps of food.

 neuver corps, Saturday, by Lieutenant General Chaffee. Our brigade being the last to pass the reviewing officer, profted by the faults of some of the preceding organizations which did not pass close in mass sufficiently com pact to suit General Chaffee No time was lost in seeing that our troops were completely massed. Our organizations went by like so many blocks. A friend, ly officer on General Grants staff re- ported to me that in his hearing Gen eral Chaffee complimented the Con necticut regiments by saying that they passed before him in the best forma- ton and appearance of all the regu- lars there.
 Were the manellvers worth to our troops the time they gave, the hard travel to Virginia and back and the hardships of the service there? The mass of those who went will answer the question in the affirmative. At times the work was exhausting; hard marching. insufficient sleep, occasional delay In getting rations, few rare in- stances of lack of good water, some or all of these causes told severely on the troops, but their reclperating power was remarkable. A hearty supper and good nights sleep brought them around in good condition and ready for more work. Our state troops stood the hardship much better than those of other states, because for three years we had given them field work at en. calmpment time, when they had to make their own clamp, cook their own rations and care for themselves Our brigade encamDment, too, when the or ganizations had worked together as q brigade, materially helped to fit them for this service. That fact was clearly demonstrated on the review.
