THE WARSHIP DID NOT COME.
French Cruiser Graviere Expected
Here Today.

Although the French cruiser Gra-
Were vas expected to heave her an
chor at Baltimore yesterday and come
to Annapolis, she failed to leave
there. 1t was expected that she would
weigh anchor at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning and steam under half speed
to Hampton Roads, there to meet the
squadron of Admiral Sigsbee
Orders were received from France
late yesterday, however. telling the
cruiser 10 remain iu the Chesapeake
bay and take part in the ceremonies
attending the burial of John Paul
Jones at the Naval Academy. The
orders as received permit Captain Ger
vais to remain in the Chesapeake nm
til July 81. The cruiser weighed an
chor this morning and will come TO
Annapolis, here TO await the arrival
of the joint squadrons of Admirals
Sigsbee, Evans and Brownson with
the body of the famous sea fighter
After taking part in the ceremonies
the cruiser will steam TO Newport
News and remain there for some days.
She will then depart for Martinique.
Captain Barclay will act as her pilot
as long as she remains in the bay.
The reason that the French cruiser
had determined TO sail before the John
Paul Jones ceremonies was because
several hundred of her sailors have
worked out their enlistment and are
anxious TO be transferred and &c
home. The transfer will be made at
Martinique, where a transport awaits

The Condemned Man Says He Is
Ready To Die.

Yesterday William Leazer. the con-
demned murderer of Patrolman Me-
Namara was visited by his wife and
his brothers.
The condemned mans wife created
no little excitement about the Jail by
her refusal to be searched. AS there
is an ironclad rule in all jails that
visitors to condemned prisoners must
be searched. the rule could not be
broken for the wife of Leazer. who
objected to its enorcement. 1t was
one of two things She either must
be searched, or she couldd not see her
husband, who is to pay his life on
the gallows on Friday to eXpiate his
crime. The woman finally consented
and peace was restored.
LeaZer's wife and brother spent two
hours with him and had long talk.
Leazer. who is TO be hanged on Fri
day, bears up wonderfully. He is re-
ceiving the kindest treatment at the
hands of Sheriff Hardy, Deputy
Sheriff Bryan and Warden Thomas.
The man seems bright and cheerful
and says he is ready for the end 1t
is not thought he will give any trouble
the day of the execution, Two of
Leazer's brothers visited him today
at the jail

Roasted Snakes a Delicacy.

fIo4A w
In Australia several kinds of snakes are
eaten roasted. They are said to be equal
in ,delicacy and flavor to the finest stewed
cells. An English traveller declares the
steam from the roasting reptils is by no
means unsavory. The flesh appears to be
exceedingly white. On tasting small piece
of 1t roasted on fire of dried sticks it was
found to be quite palatable.
The list of outlandish foods is by no
means exhausted a study of the delica-
cies served at the tables of the "heathens'

cures of civilized lands that much may ye.

fanders, for instance. with their putrid
deer's flesh and blubber: the South Sea
islanders with their marine hog, one part
of which tastes like beef. another part Ike

pillars: the Hindoos with their Garma made
