trouble in being admitted TO bail since his
arrest Thursday, was taken before Justice
Rischoff in Special Term Part H., of the
Supreme Court yesterday on a writ Of
habeas corpus got outby Louis Lowenstein,
his counsel.
Magistrate Barlow had refused to accept

the prisoner was arraigned in the jefferson
Market police court, although Mr. Nelson
oTered to stake 5000, 900 ina property that
Gondorf would appear in court when
wanted
"The Magistrate was disposed 10 accept
Mr.. Nelson as surety. realizing that he was
a citizen of substantial means Mr.. Lowen-
stein said to the Justice in his argument
For some reason 20 us unknown Assistant
District Attorney Miner opposed the accept
anoe Of this bondsman. and the Magistrate
acted upon the advice Of Mr.. Miner. The
Assistant District Attorney has accepted
Mr. Nelson on other bonds. He is ready
10 make affidavit that he is worth sl17 900
without encumbrance.
Assistant District Attorney Miner then
explained why he was opposed TO this par
ticular bondsrnan He said there was no
doubt about the mans possession Of valu-
able property. but there is a probability.
he asserted. Of making Bob Nelson a CO.
defendant with Gondorf, and il was on those
grounds he opposed one defendant being
on the bond Of another.
Justice Bischof said the Magistrate had
actCd quite properly in refusing to accept
the bail. The habeas corpus proceedings

good faith by an uptown bank through a
Broad street firm Of brokers, the sales rep
reeenting 500 900 worth Of stocks.
Gondorf will como up for examination in

How 70 Shoot q Rather.

The writer once saw An Indian kill
q rattlesnake In very peculiar man
ner. The RATHER was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting the
rifle on his knee, apparently taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon few
inches the snake would move around
and get exactly in line with it. Then,
to show how the thing was done, the
Indian moved about the snake in cir
Gle, and the reptile moved as If its tail
were on a pivot, always keeping It's
head and body In line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes and shoot the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians eyes,
and, holding the gun by his side at
arms length, the latter pulled the trig-
ger, and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed the whole length Of
Its body. "How do you take aimT was
the query. 1.-THE snake, he takes aim"
was the reply. We have talked with
an old hunter on this proposition, and
he claims that rattlesnake will al
ways range directly In line with gun
or stick pointed at 1t.-Exchange.

Snakes az War Weapons.

When Hannibal, the great Cartha-
gilman, was fighting Eumenes Of Per-
gamos with a feet Of very inferior
strength he hit upon an arttfice which
would scarcely be sanctioned by the
laws Of what we are pleased to call
civilized warfare. He discovered by
means Of a bogus message Under flag
Of truce on which ship thu king was.
He then caused poisonous snakes to be
Enclosed In earthen jars. These be dis
tributed among several slips and or
dered them to close up on the kings
galley. In the melee that followed
the Jars were flung on to the Neck. The
curious bombs were greeted at first
with ridicule. which soon chtnged to
panic when the nature Of their contents
made itself manifest. The galley was
extricated from the fight as soon as
possible, and the captains Of the others,
believing that the king had taken flight,
followed suit, with the result that Han
nibal gained a complete victory.

As TO WOMEN'S HATS.

It is time that some one lifted up
his voice in defence of women's
fashions. Let US ring the bell for
the vocal elevator.
Every time a new style of bonnet
appears, Immediately it is denounced
as inimical to health.
It is the same with high-heeled
shoes, tight waists, big sleeves, small
sleeves, long sleeves and no sleeves
at all. Bathing suits have decried
from the housetops, ball gowns have
been denounced from the PLATFORM
everything woman wears has been
criticised since that far day when
Adam told Eve that he wanted her
to quit aping the foolish styles in fig
leaf skirts and morning glory basques
Gains wife had sent the patterns of
from the land of Nod.
Now it is the big hat. 1t is
claimed that woman who wears
one of these cartwheel or mushroom
hats will acquire wrinkles in the neck,
warts on the nose, moth on the
cheeks and lopears. There is moth
ing to it. If fashion DEGREES that
woman shall wear hat composed of
armor plate with a top of concrete,
she can and will develop the con-
stitution to wear it. Big hats are
all right. Woman doen't wear them
because they are heavy; she wears
them because some other woman
does.

Gentle Persuasion.

Many stories are told Of the eccentric
doings and sayings Of an old clergyman
who lived in Maine some years ago.
At one time there had been a fight
among some men, one Of whom was
seriously hurt. A trial took place, and
the old minister, who had seen the af-
fray, was summoned as a witness.
What was Salson doing?" was the
first question.
oh, he was slashing around
"Well, sir, just what do you mean by
that?"
why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
"Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what
Salson did to this man."
"Why, he-he enticed him." said the
old minister slowly.
"Enticed him! Howl" .--
HE enticed him with a crowbar. He
used the crowbar to persuade the man
to entice him-and by a series of
pokes and blows he succeeded In doing
It," said the minister mildly.-Youth's
Companion.

Noah Under SUSPICION.

The last copy OF the Ararat Journal,
published three days before, the flood,
has recently been excaYated from the
top drawer Of an oriental ,magnate's
desk.
1t says editorially:
The radical utterances of old man
Noah are to be strongly deprecated by
all conservative citizens. Especially
do we deplore his ,unwarranted attacks
ton the sin trust and its worthy board
of directors.
Aside from the fact that these gen.
tlemen stand very high in the commu-
nifty, such wild denunciation and pre-
idictions Of our people listened to last
evening are likely to produce an unset
tiled conditions of affairs and damage
business.
/. 1T Is generally believed that his mo-
tives are not above suspicion. In fact,
those who are we'll informed hint that
the old man has some watered and un-
d1gested stock of his own which he
expects to float as soon as the sin trust
Is swamped. PUCK.

Mother Had the FAILING Too.

The visitor had dropped in "just for
a minute" but she remained about
three hours after the minute was up.
Little Freddie had formed several
plans, the execution Of which must be
postponed till the departure Of his
mothers guest. So he sat quietly
thinking things.
Dear little mani" gushed the visitor.
"And what is he thinking about so
deeply?"
II was wondering if it wasn't time
for you to be going," said Freddie.
"Hush!' said his mother. Then, turn
ing to her guest: "You mustn't be Of
Tended, Mrs. Smith. Children will go
hurting out the truth without think
ing. But they don't mean anything by
it." .
Strangely enough, it was just then
that Mrs. Smith recollected that she
had only three minutes in which to
catch the last car home.-London Tele-

p.rnetua, Motion Cran,I,.

In the days Of the Maytdower the
nrst perpetual motion Inventors took
out their patents for Engines which
being put In order Will cause and main
teyne their own mocions With cQntinu-
ance and without any borrowed force
Of man, horse. wind, river Of brooke"
and in the last century they have ap,
piled for about 600 patents which are
based chiefly On the force Of gravity,
loss Of equilibrium, specific gravity Of
floats and weights Immersed in water
Of other liquid, accession Of receptacles
Inflated with air or gas under water,
compression and subsequent expansion
of gases and of the surface tension Of
liquids. So sanguinely hopeful are
these Ingenious designers that In many
cases they provide brakes to stop their
machines If necessary or to prevent
any dangerous increase of speed. The
care and thought expended on the prin-
ciple and detail Of many Of the inven-
lions demonstrate that many men Of
mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion Is possible and that
they themselves are successfully solv'
ing the problem.

cutsness Of Old Time Doctors

Synge's Social Life In England
quotes number Of fourteenth century
hints to success for physicians which
Indicate that as far back as 500 years
ago the medical man, In popular opin-
lon at least, had in him the stuff that
alienists are made Of:
Suppose you know nothing, say there
Is an obstruction Of the liver. Perhaps
the patient will say, "Nay, master, it
is my head or legs that trouble me-"
Repeat that 1t comes from the liver,
and especially use the word ''obstruc-
tion," for patients do not understand
1t, which Is important.
Never dine with a patient who has
not paid you; 1t will be cheaper to get
your dinner at an inn, for such feasts
are usually deducted from the sur
geon's fee.
When you are treating a wound or
accident, the friends of the patient
should be excluded, for they may faint
and cause disturbance, but some
times higher fee may be got from
persons present fainting and breaking
their heads against wood and the like,
than from the principal patient.

Trv to Do This.

Take light chair and place it with
its back to the wall. Stand in front of
1t, facing the wall, with the toes about
foot from the front feet Of the chair,
and, placing one hand on each side OF
the chair, lean forward until the top Of
your head touches the wall. The prob
lem is to lift the chair from the floor
and, without moving the feet, to take
the head away from the wall and
stand upright. Simple as this appears,
1t Is impossible. Very few people, as
you will find would anticipate any Diff
f1culty in doing this. Get them to try.
This trick is, of course, very like the
old. one Of standing against a wall
sidewise, with the shoulder and one
foot touching the wall. f.. It is then i'm
possible to raise the outside foot with.
out losing ones balance and falling
away from the wall.

Likes Being Hunted.

The extraordinary intelligence and
skill displayed by reynard when be-
ing hunted makes it extremely prob
able that he, in common with the
huntsman and the 'nds, feels the
keen pleasure Of the p43de Of art-an
important constituent Of the spirit of
the sport. : In proof Of this, an old fox,
when fresh, has often been observed to
wait for the hounds, apparently with
the purpose Of drawing them on, and
so giving IN opportunity for the dis
play of his SKILL The fox owes his
present existence in England to his
skill in providing sport, and it is not
therefore unreasonable to suppose that
he has acquired the sporting instinct,
Just as the pointer, the hunter and the
terrier certainly enter into the spirit of
the sport for which they have been
bred and to which, therefore, they owe
their existence.-London Standard.
