Practical Methods of the Snake
Charmers of the Orient.
For many years it was regarded as
one of the East Indian miracles that
the snake charmers of the orient could
encounter the cobra in an arena, allow
the serpent to bite them time and
again and survive the deadly poison.
This dangerous feat puzzled the doc
tors of the British army and was never
quite understood by scientists general

er begins at an early age to make him
self immune from the venom of the
cobra. He takes the infant serpent
and allows it to bite him. This injects
into his system a very mild dose Of
the poison. He repeats the operation
many times, and then ventures to al
low cobra somewhat older to bite
him. Gradually he permits himself to
become inOculated with the venom Of
younger serpents until he has become
so accustomed to the poison that his
system is immune. By the time he
grows up he has become SO thoroughly
accustomed to the spell that it has
practically no effect upon him. 1t is

Their Romantic Origin Dates Back to

The art of engraved pictures dates it's
romantic origin to the chamber of q
Florentine goldsmith, Maso Fniguerra,
in the fifteenth century, about the time
that Gutenberg was struggling with
his printing from movable types. Be
fore that day pictures were drawn or
painted by hand. Finiguerra was a
celebrated worker in metals. and. being
commissioned to make a pax of gold
engraved with q coronation of the Viz
gin, he sought to test his design by
filling in the lines with a preparation
of oil and lampblack, which threw the
picture into relief. BY chance the face
was laid face downward on a piece of
damp linen, and when taken up it was
discovered that the picture was printed

ORIGINAL NEW ENGLAND.
1t LIS Said That 1t Was Located on the
Pacific Coast.


Pacific Coast.
There is common saying that if the
pilgrim fathers had only landed on the
Pacific coast large portion of the
Atlantic seaboard would never have
been settled. Californians, Oregonians
and Washingtonians believe this i'm
plicitly. In other words, the charms of
the Pacific coast in the way Of climate
are SO appreciated that, having once
experienced them, men are unwilling
to live elsewhere contentedly. Now, not
one man in thousand living on the
Pacific coast knows that as a matter
of fact the accents of our mother
tongue were heard on the beach not
far from San Francisco forty-one years
before English was spoken on Plym-
outh rock.
More amusing still Is the fact that
the original New England was on the
Pacific coast, for Sir Francis Drake in
1879, at the close Of months stay,
took possession of the country for his
sovereign, Elizabeth, and named the
new acquisition Nouva Albion (New

dnO the one winch Is nOU S0uof-
ally understood is that no one
can vote for candidates on more
than one ticket That is, one
cannot vote for a Democratic
Governor and a Republican coun-
ty official. He must vote a
straight party ticket. The in
tent of this provision is said to
be that no Democrat should have
voice in determining who shall
be the nominees on the republi-
can ticket, and that republican
shall have no voice in nominating
a democratic candidate, unless
he votes the entire ticket. If a
republican candidate receives
votes on the democratic ticket it
will be counted on that ticket
only, but will not help to nomi-
nate him on the republican tick
eft.
The provision of the law is as
follows:
8 Atall primaries there shall
be an Australian ballot made up
of the several party tickets here.
in provided for, all of which
shall be securely fastened to-
gether at the top, and folded,
provided that there shall be as
many separate tickets as there
are parties entitled to partici-
pate in said primary election.
There shall also be attached a
non-partisan ticket upon which,
under the appropriate title of
each Office shall be printed the
names of all persons for whom
the nomination papers shall
have been filed. as required by
this act, who are not designated
on such nomination papers as
candidates of any political party
as defined by this act. The
names of all candidates shall be
arranged alphabetically accord
ing to snr-names under the ap.
propriate title of the respective
Offices and under the proper
party designation upon the par
ty ticket or upon the non-par-
tisan ticket as the case may be.
II any elector write upon his
ticket the name of any person
who is a candidate for the same
Office upon some other ticket
than that upon which his name
is 50 written, this ballot shall be
counted for such person only as
a candidate of the party upon
whose ticket his name is written
and shall in no case be counted
for such person as a candidate
upon any other ticket. In case
the person is nominated upon
more than one ticket, he shall
forthwith file with the proper
officer, or officers in charge of
the preparation of the ballots, a
written declaration indicating
the party designation under
which his name is to be printed
on the official ballot. The bal
lots with the endorsements shall

les is held. The provisions of

far applicable shall govern the

FOUR UNDER ARREST.
One Man Still In Jail and Three Re-
 leased on Bond.

Springfield. Mo, April 16.--Four men are now under arrest here charged with being leaders in the mob that broke into the county jail Saturday night and lynched three negroes. One of the alleged mob leaders Is In jail and three have been released on bond. Charles Cannefax and Oney Galfry were tho first men arrested. Cannefax has been a pool room proprietor. but Is at pres- ent employed in the St. Louis and San Francisco yards. Godfrey is a switch man for the same road. Both have boen released on bond. Dan Crane .son or D. D. Crane. a well known saddelry merchant was the third arrested. Crane moves in the best society here. He was released on bond. Oat Hall. the last man arrested. is a police court char acter. Hall is still In jail.
 Cannefax went to Sheriff Horner to- day and inquired how much damage had been done by the mob on the sherif's property. Cannefax was in formed that it would amount to $1.000 He then said a collection would be taken up to repair the loss. but his of- fer was flatly refused by Sheriff Hor- ner.
 The grand jury will meet tomorrow especially to indict those who were in the mob of lynchers. Up to noon today men who had been in the mob made on secret of 1t. They stood upon the street corners and joked each other about 1t but when word came that Gov ernor Folk had offered $30e reward for the conviction of any member of the mob and when Roscoe Patterson. prose- outing attorney. declared openly that he intended to work for the arrest and conviction of every man concerned In the lynching, there was uneasiness. At noon it became known that twenty-five warrants charging murder in the first degree were in the hands of the sher- if After the arrests the 1ynchers be- came alarmed and left the streets.
 Before dark the square was deserted and tonight 1t is absolutely quiet.
 Around the jail are camped 200 sol diers with guards out at every point so that none could get near the jail.
 When Cannefax was arrested today it was discovered that he was ap- pointed yesterday to help keep the peace here.
 It is expected that the grand jury will indict fifty and perhaps 100 men.
 Not a member of the mob wore a mask nor made any attempt at con- cealment. The names of the leaders and of those who led the neg-oas by ropes through the streets and who lynched them afterwards are well known here.
 The Ministerial Alliance, composed of all the ministers of the city passed strong resolutions at their meeting to- day condemning the mob and calling upon all law abiding citizens to sup port the efforts of Governor Folk and Prosecuting Attorney Patterson to bring the mob leaders to jusfice. A mass meeting that was to lave been called by the alliance for tonight will not be held. The civil and militia au- thorities asked that the meeting st ould be given up but assigned nc reasons. The six negro members of the alliance united in saying that no effort would be made by the colored people to have revenge for the work of tho mob.

sHAW's PLAN DISC UssED. Private Banking Houses Raise Cry of
 nfafppua.

NewYork, April 16.--Secretary Shaw's plan to allow national banks to fore stall the arrival of their gold imports by the withdrawal of it's equivalent in cash from the United States sub-treas- ury on the deposit therein of bonds as security was much discussed in the financial district today.
 Some of the private banking houses which deal in foreign exchange and which have been accustomed to import gold declared that so long as the sec retary's plan remained in operation they will be unable to make any fur ther importations. as they have. not the same facilities as national banks for carrying large blocks of bonds to off, fer as security. Their business. they asserted. will be ruined under this plan.
 One foreign banker asserted that the United States banks will not get sim gle extra gold shipment. because of MT. Shaw's plan. but said the importa- tions might begin in day or two ear- Her than they ordinarily would. A friend of Secretary Shaw said that the secretary maintained that the plan will benefit the foreign exchange houses as well as the national banks. as they will get immediate use of their gold as do the banks.
