DEMURRER is SUSTAINED
AGAINST BEACH PEDDLERS
Judge Hunt Gives Peanut Vendors Ten
Days I'm Which to File New
COMPLAINT

In the first round of their legal
fight against the Park Commission for
right to sell on the ocean beach the
peddlers yesterday met reverse. Su-
perior Judge Hunt sustained the de-
murrer of the Park Commission to
the complaint of William Kanelakis,
who applied for an injunction to pre-
vent the commission from enforcing
it's order against the vendors of pea
nuts and popcorn who had been reap
ing afharvest of nickels at the edge
of the sea.
The demurrer was sustained on the
contention that 1t was impossible to
ascertain from the complaint how the
act of the Park Commission would
cause any great injury or oppression
to the plaintiff, and that 1t was i'm
possible to estimate what pecuniary
damage would result to the plaintiff
by reason of the commissions order.
The peddler was allowed ten days in
which TO file an amended answer.

 Almost daily Senator Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana while staying at his summer home on Mackinac island, Mich., could be seen vending his way through the wooded parts of the island, says the New York Tribune. The Re publican vice presidential nominee set aside his duties and traversed Indian paths, cutting across swampy places and climbing hills. His favorite pas time is walking, and despite the fact that he was busily engaged in prepar- ing his letter accepting his nomination and his notification address and in out. lining his speeches to be delivered ill the coming campaign the Indiana statesman occupied two hours almost every afternoon and took his usual constitutional"

He worked vigorously for several minutes. The tree did not fall. He then put on his coat and con tinued his journey through the woods. but he did not forget the incident and several days later revisited the spot. He again took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and smilingly ''tackled'' the tree for the second time. For thirty minutes the senator worked. Then suddenly the tree gave way and top pied over This exercise does me more good than all the carriage rides l could take" he remarked.

sAHY PLAYED WITH SNAKE.
Reptile Crawled Into Eva's Clothes Basket and Both Seemed to
 Have Good Time.

Undismayed by a blacksnake that crept into clothes basket in which she lay in the yard, Eva Buelah. three years old, daughter of Peter Bueiah, a River Hill (Pa.) farmer, hailed the intruder as new pet and caressed it as she would kitten until rescued from her danger ous position by her frightened father.
 Her years were too few for knowledge of the scrape her prototype had got into ill connection with a serpent, but little Eva, perhaps. was wiser than Eve, for, whereas the mother of the race let the constructor do most of the talking, the baby kept up an uninterrupted flow of prattle to the snake.

LEW DocKsTADER.

Seats have been selling to-day with a rapidity to indicate large audience at the minstrel performance to be giv- en by Lew Dockstader and his com pany tomorrow evening at Polls. It is claimed that Dockstader has this season an organization that is as near ly perfect in all that pertains to lofty entertainment qualities as experience and brains can evolve. The final num- Der of the performance, staged and produced by James H. Decker, alone is worth the price of admission. It calls for four beautiful scenes; the first is a representation of a planta- ton cottage in autumn with corn stacked in the fields and the golden pumpkins hanging on their withered vines; the second is the plantation quarters, a fascinating view of cot- ton field in full bloom with hill and river environments that charm the vision; the third, grove of moscow cred cypress and pine, the roasting DIace Of a flock of crows; the last lazy river with field of water lilies pushing their heads above the water, the banks lined with tangled growth of iris and flag, An abandoned boat lies in the river covered with growth of vines and moss, under the shadows ,of a spreading oak They are seen at sunrise. sunset and night. The entire company will take a, part in every scene with negro jubilee melodies, soft and wooden.shoe dances that are -ir-rryirlng. This part of the perform once alone invites the lofty consldera- +ion of the most exacting critics ana ls revelation of skill in singing, dancing {; and high art in scenic accessories, Al, Al, thss 41l with inc comedy acts offered by nockstader and bis associate come, come, dians make up as attractive a minstrel sure, entertainment probably as has ever M ,,aa,S S.aS offered on the local stage.

Her parents heard and saw her, but they didn't perceive the snake until the father walked from the door of the house toward the basket. Then he dashed to her side.
 Buelah snatched the little one from the basket and gave her fling that sent her rolling over the grass. Then he raised clothes pole and swung 1t on the snake until he had beaten the reptile to pulp. He was astonished to find Eva un- harmed There was no danger of poi son, but the snake, being of the con str1ctor species, might easily have choked the child in it's folds.

osTRIcHEs IN ARIZONA.
Have Become Acclimated and Are
Growing Larger Than South
African Birds.

The ostrich industry in the Salt
River valley, Arizona, is fast be-
coming one Of large commercial
Importance, states the New York
Sun.
When the ostrich was intro.
duced from South Africa, IL years
ago, the change of food and eli.
mate did not agree with the birds,
and very little progress was made
during the first years. The bust
ness requires experience, and I'M
til those engaged in it had learned
everything worth knowing about
ostrich culture they made little
Roadway.
About five years ago the birds
had become acclimated, their care
was more thoroughly understood,
and they began to thrive. 1t is be.
lieved that they are doing better
in the Salt River. valley than in
South Africa.
At any rate, the American Os-
triches are several inches taller
than those of South Africa, and
their feathers are of somewhat
finer quality. Full grown they
stand eight feet high and weigh
200 pounds.
The rich, black, glossy feathers
of the male are Nr superior in
quality to the drab plumage of the
female, and the feathers plucked
every eight months are sold as
high at $125 a pound in the east
ern market. The average yield is
a pound of feathers to the bird.
Over 100 Ostriches are now on
the alfalfa pastures in the valley,
feeding cOntentedly on the rich
heritage which makes them as fat
as any ostrich should be. The eli.
mate Of the valley seems to be
particularly adapted TO ostrich
raising.

THE CAPE SABLE HoRsEFLY.
Pest of Florida swamps with Bite
That Draws Blood Like
Knife Thrust.

A dreadful pest of the lower
Florida swamps is the Cape Sable
horsefiy. Specimens measure an
inch and a quarter in length.
Their bite draws blood like the
thrust of a knife, says a writer in
Country Life in America. Imag-
inc a swarm of them darting
around one like so many humming
birds! Fortunately they are not,
at least early in the season, partic-
ularly inclined to attack man.
The only domestic animal that can
live in this country is the mule
and even his tough hide requires
a hyproof stable for its protection
and a suit of armor when out
doors. One day / engaged mule
and tipcart to save several miles
of weary Juggling along the strip
of prairie before we struck off into
the interior to visit a great rock
cry. When the guide brought the
animal it presented a truly re-
markable appearance, clad in n
suit of burlap that would have af-
fOrded complete protection, save
that the legs of the trousers" had
been slit down, as the animal
could hardly Gave been induced to
put them on. SO the flaps hung
dangling about the legs, the cans
projected above, and the calm
eyes gazed out through the loop
holes, surveying the swarm of flies
and the stranger. We left him
tied to a palm tree for the day,
At dusk, when we returned, the
legs of the poor beast were drip
ping with blood and he was fairly
frantic with pain. We had q
stormy experience in Harvesting
him, having to be very spry to
avoid being killed by the fying
hoOfs. / felt sorry for the mule
that was born to live in such q
country.
