SNAKE ATTACKED MAN.
Irvine Around His Legs. But His
Boots Saved Him.

Robert Rogers, who lives neal
Plainfeld, N. j., and who is n Of
New Jerseys best known hunters
had a thrilling snake experience
while beating through the Passaic
valley woods in search of game re-
Gently.
IS He was making his way through
dense u%nderbush when he encounter
ed two copperhead snakes. Before
he could jump back, both sprang at
him and coiled about his legs, max
ing vicious strikes at him.
The fact that he had long hunting
boots on prevented them from inject
ing their poison, but the situation un-
nerved him so that for a moment he
was unable to fight them.
He finally succeeding in uncoiling
one of the reptiles and forced it from
him far enough to blow its head off
with his gun. The remaining snake
attempted to carry on the battle alone
but clubbing his gun, Rogers man
aged to get it on the ground without
being bitten. The next instant he
had crushed it's head beneath his heel.
Rogers abandoned the hunting trip to
hurry home for stimulants.
The snakes were each five feet in
length, a size unusual in this species.
Rogers carried them to Berkeley.
Heights, where they are on exhibition
at the hotel. &.

INDIAN BUYS d
He Could Not Win Her and So He
Bought Her.

A dispatch from Denver, COL, says
unsuccessful in his suit to win the
hand of an Indian maiden who is IN
the Carlisle Indian school,, Charlie
Redhorse, a Ute, departed Thursday
morning on an e%astbound train, hay
ing in his pocket a letter from the
girls's parents on the New Mexican
Ute reservation telling that the girl
had been sold him for the sum of
four ponies. ~
The question now arises, and Red
horse has evidently overlooked it,
whether or not the girl who has en-
joyed four years in Carlisle, will be
willing to marry him, simply because
the Indian went through the primeval
custom of handing over four ponies
to the girls parents, who r in need
Of stock.
There is much of Indian romance
with the story of Red
horse and his fair Ute maiden Of Car
Isle. Both we're children together on
the reservation years ago. Redhorse
loved her and she loved. him, but
when she was sent to Carlisle, her
changed, and when Red
horse went to claim her, he was
spurned.
With the stolidness Of the Red Man
he did not give up, but returned to
Arizona, where he induced the girls
to sell her to him for four
With the bill Of sale in his

And Another Badly Mangled in a
Cotton Gin.

A dispatch to the Atlanta Journal
says H. F. Jones, a we'll known far
mer, was instantly killed in a gin at
the Heath place, about ten miles from
Macon, Ca, Thursday morning. He
was working with the gin when his
hand was caught in the avs His
body was jerked into the machine,
head down. An oil a struck him
in the head, penetrating his brain
and killing him instantly.
Spivey Fuller, a well-knoWn East
Macon man, was terribly mangled on
Thursday morning, and now lies at
the city hospital. He was working in
the gin, when he was caught in the
saws and pulled in. Before the ma

Died in POVERTY
After Making a Fortune Out of
His Inventions.
Invented the Spark Arrester Now
Used OH All Locomotives in Amer

Used OH All Locomotives in Amer
lea and Europe.
David Redfeld Proctor, 81 years
old, a cousin of United States Sena-
tor Redfield Proctor of Vermont. was
found dead Thursday in a cheap
lodging house at 148 South Clark
street Chicago.
He had heen in Strengthened cir
cumstances for several years, al
though he made a fyrtune from the
sale Of royalties on aninvention which
he patented in the early '7O's--a de-
vice which arrested and extinguished
the sparks from the tunnels of loco
motives making the kindling of pra-
RE fires by passing trains an impos-
sibility.
In the Columbian exposition he
was one of the most picturesque fig
ures who haunted offices of Director
General Davis and Graham with Of
fers of marvellous plans for enhanc-
ing the beauty and magnitude Of the
great fair.
He designed the Proctor Morrison
tower which was intended to make
the Eiffel tower seems a dwarf in
comparison. For the rights to this
tower he was offered. it is said $780,
900, and a company to build it was
started under the presidency Of En-
gineer Morrison the ''steel construc-
ton bridge builder" But the COL
lapse of steel Mackay's s.Sectatori-
UNI" theatre caused the business in
terests identified with the fair to look
with disfavor upon so gigantic an
enterprise as that proposed by In
ventor Proctor. The local tower
which was to be 1000 feet higher
than the Eiffel tower at Paris, was
not built. -.
When Engineer Morrison was plan
ming to construct at Memphis, Tenn,
the largest steel cantilever bridge in
the world he intrusted the work of
building a miniature working model
of the structure to Inventor Proc
tor as he was known. The model was
to be only two inches square andwas
to have 912 joints and almost as many
separate pieces. Proctor completedit
in two months. The huge bridge was
constructed exactly after his model.
He received 81. 900 for the work. The
first working" gondola launches at
the worlds fair was designed by Mr..
Proctor. .s
When his lifeless body was found
at the dingy room in which he had
lived and dreamt his dreams of as
founding inventions for the last few
years, the narrow little bed was sim.
ply festooned with tiny hold carved
models Of flying machines which he
had guarded and embodiments of
some discoveries that he claimed to
have made in the field of aronautics.
Mr.. Proctor was a native of Glou-
cester. Mass. He is survived by q
widow and two daughters, Mrs. Ar
thur Rowe and Mrs. William H. Per-
kins of Gloucester. ,
The managers of the lodging house
told the police that q doctor, who
had been called to view the remains,
found that death had been due to old
age.

The WHITE PLAGUE.
The State Board of Health Will
Wage War On It
BY mstructing the General Public
How Best to Fight the Dread Dis
ease of Consumption.

How Best to Fight the Dread Dis
ease of Consumption.
The state board of health has start
ed it's campaign of education for
better sanitation, with the special
emo in view of acquainting the peo-
pie generally of the state as to how
to care for tuberculosis cases and
prevent the spread of this terrible
disease.
The campaign was initiated in a
practical way Thursday by the send
ing out of a letter to each county
medical society in the state request
ing that as early as possible one or
more public lectures be arranged for
on some appropriate subject, such
as the suppression of tuberculosis,
typhoid fever, smallpox and other
infectious diseases.
Already the Sumter and Charles
ton county societies are doing excel
lent work Of this nature and it it felt
that the other counties of the state
will readily fall into line.
Members of the state board are es-
pecially anxious to enlist the hearty
cooperation of the weekly and daily
press of the state in disseminating
the information given at these coun-
ty society lectures. The members of
the board think there will not be
much difficulty in securing this as
sistance from the press, as it is rec
ognized that the newspaper people
are as anxious to inform the people
along such important lines as the
doctors are to have them informed.
The letter to the county societies
is a particularly strong one.
"To the County Medical Society:
AT a meeting Of the executive
committee of the state board of
health it was resolved to urge upon
tine county societies of the state the
importance of uniting in an effortto
extend sanitary knowledge among
our people. That we have so often
failed to secure the enactment of
proper sanitary laws is largely due
to sanitary ignorance. But sanitary
instruction is more important than
sanitary legislation, for the preiud-
ice that is always associated with ig-
norance may render a good law of
no effect as is shown by the difficult
ty the board is now experiencing in
endeavoring to enforce the present
compulsory vaccination law.
THE extensive prevalence of tu-
berculosis and typhoid fever is in
large measure due to sanitary ignor-
ance. And again. sanitary Ignorance
is often responsible for the sprea d of
certain of the transmissable disease
of childhood. as we'll las for the de-
fective development Of many school
children.
I'm order to remove as far as prac-
ticable this great obstacle to sani-
tary progress, the state board of
health earnestly requests each eoun-
ty society to arrange more public
lectures upon appropriate subjects,
such as the suppression of tubercu.
losis, typhoid fever, smallpox! and
other infectious diseases; school n.y.
giene, etc. -.
1.-THE example has been set already
by one or two county societies., and
it is earnestly hoped that all will join
in making an aggressive and effec-
tive crusade of education.
~ Respectfully,
ROBERT WILSON, JR.,
Chairman State Board Heath,
&c. F. WILLIAMS,
"Secretary."

BIG PRICE.
Corn Sells for Two Hundred and Fiji
ty Dollars Per Ear.

ty Dollars Per Ear.
Two hundred and fifty dollars was
the worlds record price paid at Chic.
ago Thursday night for a single ear
of corn.
The ear from Bone county" was
knocked down to the highest bidder
in an exciting auction at the National
Corn Exposition at the Coliseum in
Chicago.
The purchaser of this a of corn
a bushel at that rate would have sold
at SIS, 0O0-was the man who raised
it, L. B. Clore, a tall farmer from
Frasklin, Ind.
He has taken prizes amounting to
nearly $4,000, including a Texas
farm. He raised it on thirteen acres
of land. The ear was taken from one
of ten that took the sweepstakes in
their class.

the cultivation of psychic power by
self-torture, the obstructing herds
of garlanded sacred cattle, the bury
ing of dead bodies in the river, the
mixed fakirs at the Elahabad fair,
one of whom killed a baby snatched
from a mothers arms as they march
ed along, claiming that the deity had
ordered him in a dream to do the
murder---all these were touched upon
by Mr.. Bryan as showing the need of
mission work in India.
II believe we owe it to them" he
said. "to carry Christianity to them.
1 am not going to quarrel with you
about the fate of the heather in the
future---whether they are saved or
not---but l do think we should, give
them the opportunity to get the ben
eft of life"
MI. Bryan went on to show that
Confucianism was far inferior to
Christianity. Confuscius' golden
rule--"Do not unto others as you
would not have others do unto your
was negative while Christ sgolden
rule was positive. One followed out
makes a life that is a stagnant pool.
the other a life that S a living stream.
For instance, a Chinaman will rarely
endanger his life to save a drowning
man. Confucius' teaching would not
impel him to do so.
Reward evil with justice and
good with good" taught Confucius.
"How, now" asked Mr.. Bryan, can
a man with hate in his heart toward
a fellow man know what justice is?
How infinitely below Christ's For
give your enemies etc., is this
teaching? | believe the doctrine of
forgiveness is the great distinguish
ing characteristics of Christianity,
"A man who keeps a book account
of his good works never do enough
good to make it worth while to buy
a book to put it in.
"Confucius' ideals we're so low that
China has never risen under them.
She has stood still. .t.
"Other religions judged by their
fruits fall infinitely below Christian
ity. Except when aided by Chris
tianity brought from without, the
pagan nations are where they were
centuries ago---China where she was
20 centuries ago. But the Christian
religion has taken our people andled
them to higher things. I never real
lied until I got to Asia the influence
of our Christianity in its uplifting
power. | saw a chain of colleges for
a thousand miles---they were built
by western Christianity---and their
influence was great.
I'VE should never care to boast
that the sun never sets upon our pos
sessions, but we may we'll have al
in the fact that the sun never
sets upon American philanthropy.
In India most of the children in Sun
day schools are in American schools.
We are sending to India for Chris
tianity and education almost $780,
900. 900. What sends our missionar-
les abroad? The love Of God and of
their fellow men. The missionary
abroad is doing a work the impor-
lance of which can not be estima-
Drawing a picture of what we at
home enjoy. Mr.. Bryan concluded:
I'VE owe no obligation to those
distant people that we can not pay
in dollars and cents. We owe it to
.posterity to hand down the blessings
we enjoy to others. 1t is necessary
for us to exert ourselves to the ut
most to spread our religion over the
earth and | am sure the time is CON-
ing when every knee shall bow and
every tongue confess that Christ is
