HORSE FALLS IN cISTERN.
Then Battles with Water Moccasiu for Life-Rescued by
 Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales, of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water. When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived a large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile. and for few moments the firemen hes1- tated about going down in thewell Vol uhteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest, climbed down on ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com bined effects of the fall and the snake bites. 1t will recover

HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Dim- culties in Getting Goods to Cap
 ital of Guatemala.

A Mobile merchant sold some cotton goods not long ago to be delivered at Guatemala City. Within 300 feet of his warehouse steamer was loading for Puerto Barrios, whence runs a railway to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan capital To reach the latter the goods would have to be packed over the noun tains by Indians or on muleback. The merchant found it cheaper to ship by way of San Francisco, thence by boat to San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap- tal by rail- New Orleans, terminus of the Southern Pacific, is almost next door to Mobile. New York, however, en- ioyed a cheaper rate because there was competition with the routes across the Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn. So the goods were sent by boat to New York, thence by boat back to New Or leans, and thence on their way, going nearly 10000 miles instead of HOO by the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil- ity to get at the west coast markets has done much to keep American goods out of them. Guatamala has now arranged for the speedy completion of the rail- way from the Caribbean to the capital. and cheap direct route will thus be opened.

.ExToLs MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or. dained by God and We Will
 Always Have It.

The cornerstone of a monument to be erected in Salem Fields cemetery, Cypress Hills, L. l., in honor of Jews who lost their lives in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus, chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association, presided. In the, course of his remarks Ir. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned survival of bar- barism." This brought protest from Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles. retired. who lost leg at Gettysburg.
 Although we are assembled in . cemetery" said Gen. Sickles, this Is not a, funeral occasion. No death, is more glorious than death for ones country. I know many think that wars are dreadful, but we have had our wars since the world began. and we shall always have wars,. In the proyi- dence of God war was ordained, and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was found- cd through war. Would George III. have agreed to arbitration to let. us found an independent government? Mo- We have liberty because our fathers fought seven years for independence. and we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom
 "I hope the time will never como when we shall cease to be a mar tiaI people. or be unwilling to take up arms in defense of our country. In the day we are unwilling to fight for our lib critics we shall surely lose the respect of the world"

FRIGHT RESTORES sPEEcH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Par alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring. dumb and par alyzed old man living with his son-in- law. B. Moss. in London, was so over- come with fright when a fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is 71 years old. was robust man, and up to a short time ago was enjoying good health, even work ing at.a small blacksmith's forge. On0 day he suffered stroke of paralysis. which also left him speeches..
 The other evening two men rushed In shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his fathsr-in-lAw Moss saw that the window eurtainE were ablaze and the woodwork wAa .alight The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over | lamp, causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the Bed helpless. unable to stir hand or foot or raise cry of alarm. The aisonixed look on his face showed. however, that he realized the terrible nature of hie position. The flames were smotharad before they had made much progreSA and the patient escaped unhurt
 Shortly after the family were sur prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent. The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family.
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire. l. s. ss
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains. MT. Herring's health has im- proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to hospital. where it is the opinion that he may live long time.

MILE-A-MINUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman Goes at Express Train
 Speed.

Among the many interesting experi- menus with motor boats. says the Lon don Mail. perhaps the most pictur- esque were those on the Seine at Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert. in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton. brought out their bateau glisseur, or gliding boat. It is also called a hydroplane, and that name is really indicative of it's construction.
 With a De Dion I4-horse power mo- tor, the count attained a speed of 2S kilometers an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made 32 Kilomc- ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
 The inventor of this hydroplane is not, however, content with this, and will try in a day or two to raise the speed to 35 or even 40 kilometers. or % miles an hour, or speed that Is not exceeded by the use of 4O-horse power motor.
 The boat itself is 36 feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom of the boat are affixed five planes or fins. When the boat is stationary these fins hang vertically in the water. They are hinged, however, and are all under control of the driver. When the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow, are gradually given a backward angle. The boat rises in the water and then gradually rests upon it, with the stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat, following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of the water just as an aeroplana glides on the air, and with not much more resistance.
 It is confidently expected that with an increased horsepower motor tae hydroplane will reach speed of GU miles an hour.
