Python Makes Feast.

Atlantic City, July lO.-A young
python, ten feet in length, caused great
excitement in the store of Henry Fox,
bird iancier, on Atlantic avenue, yester-
day afternoon, when it escaped from its
cage and started to enjoy rare dinner
on imported canaries, few rabbits, a
squirrel and a Boston bull pup. 1t
made its escape when no one was in the
store, and persons passing by were at
tracted by the noise Of a great commo-
ton among the survivors of the attack.
The snake was observed through the
windows leisurely enjoying its third
canary. An employee of the store ar
rived, and with a bag chased the reptile
about the place until he got its head COW
cred. The man forced the snake lack
into the cage, after struggle, and the
crowd outside cheered.

Kniaz Potemkin's Crew.

Kustedji, July 10.-The crew of the
Kniaz Potemkin, who surrendered to the
authorities here on Saturday, are quietly
dispensing throughout Roumania. They
do not display any hostility toward the
Russian government. They declare that
they love the Car and were led astray
by revolutionists. The sailors are doing
everything they can to pallate their Of
tense. TheT say they fred only two
shots at Odessa, and none at Theodosia,
and never took coal or provisions from
any foreign vessel. They insist that the
men had agreed not to attack any
foreign port under any circumstan
ces. The usual routine was observed
aboard the Potemkin, the former mutt
neers say, and they deny that they. kill
ed the doctor on the vessel, saying he
committed suicide. Matuschenko, who
was the leader of the mutineers, when
asked if he was glad to escape replied:
"What does it matter to me whether |
am free or not? want Russia to be free.
What | did was for the good of my
country. | intend to remain here and
learn the Roumanian language" Mem
hers of the revolutionary committee say
the revolt had been mediated for long
time, but was brought on prematurely
by the bad food incident which led to
to the killing of sailor.

A CONTEMPORARY says that the Puri-
tan Sabbath is gone, and no wise person
will wish for its return; but the reaction
has gone too far and if the present ten
dency remains unchecked there will be
a return to the customs and license
which obtained in English society in the
middle of the eighteenth century. That
the above observation is correct Is sell
evident to all who are watching the
signs of the times. Sunday is no longer
looked upon by the great majority as
day for healthlul rest for body and soul,
but as il day of revelry and often riot,
The Sunday excursion has made an
enormous inrOad into the manners and
customs of the twentieth century, and de-
bauchery and often more serious Incl
dents mark the first day of the week,
which half century ago was observed,
in measure, at least, as it was in
tended it should be. The disposition to
read anything helpful or of sober trend
is gradually giving way to the Sun
day newspaper with its comic sup
plements, and the taste for more
wholesome literature is waning con-
tinually. The printing press, while a
great blessing is more Of bane to
myriads, and the fact that solid reading
is being totally ignored and an appetite
for the Aimsy acquired is sad to contem-
plate. A man who spends his Sunday
an debauchery or riot is in no condition
to resume work on Monday, while he
who takes his natural rest and Incl
dentalIy improves his mind by reading
books which have exercised a benign iu
fIuence upon the race, will be refreshed
in both body and soul when he resumes
his work.

MONDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1905

The RICHMOND newspapers seldom
have anything encouraging to say of
Senator Martin, so the following from the
Journal of that city is significant
Thursdays debate at King George
Courthouse probably marks turning
point in the senatorial campaign. Ger
tainly, it was the most eventful day OF
the year in Virginia politics. Until
noon Thursday it was the opinion OF
political observers that Senator Martin
and Governor Montague would not meet
in Joint debate. Governor Montague rs
friends, who have ever had the utmost
confidence in his ability as debater,
voiced a widespread belief that Senator
Martin feared to meet the Governor on
the stump. But the two candidates met:
They locked horns. Both displayed
marked ability. Today Senator Mar
tins friends are jubilantly claiming to
have gained the advantage.
The editor OF the News-Leader was
present at the debate and printed the
following sketch of Senator Martin as
debater:
Probably the most important and IN
teresting result of oratorical combat was
the proof Senator Martin gave Of ability
to take care of himself against any OPP
ponent in the rough and tumble work of
public stump debate. Some of his clos
est friends and admirers say they have
known all the while that he was capable
of making a good showing in such con-
test. Everybody else, however, believed
that he was poor and indifferent speak
er, and would be awkward, slow and at
a great disadvantage with campslgner
of Governor Montague's skill and gifts
He showed himself, however, to be a
stump speaker of force and fluency. lie
rarely hesitated for a word and evidently
knew always exactly what he wanted to
say and how to say it effectively. lie
has quick and agile mind evidently,
sees instantly every opening In an adver-
sary's line of reasoning or statements
and takes advantage of it instantly,
while guarding and defending himself
skilIully He falls easy into vernaculsr
aud at the right times to make his point
strongly. Newspaper men are accus-
toned to consider such contests disppas-
sionately and judicially. The unsni-
nous verdict OF those present gave Sena-
tor Martin would be called decision on
points" whatifit was prize fight. They
thought he handled himself better afd
faster, parted and hit back more clearly
and strongly.
