 sections, have operated to check whole sale trade for next year and retail | trade in seasonable goods. It is worthy of note. however, that Western, Southwestern and Southern jobbers re- port an increased volume of recorder
 business, indicating that country mer- chants have had a prosperous fall and that early conservative buying neces- sitates repair for broken stocks. Col i 1ections are irregular, some improve
 ment being noted in the South where the cotton crop has moved in good
 volume. A favorable feature of the week has
 been in the strength of all cereals and of flour, large foreign demand being the assigned cause, although the small CT outturn shown by the agricultural departments. October report. is an in- dependent influence making for higher prices. Reports from leading indus tries are not greatly changed Iron IS quiet and the volume of finished goods ordered is smaller than some time ago. although rails and structural material are slightly more active. The coal trade Is active East and West, bitumi- nouns grades leading.
 In leather and shoes, the heavy cur tail of product on in sole and uppers has steadfed prices.
 The cotton market is still dull and weak and some heavy cottonse are eas- ing, but prints are strong for spring delivery. Wool markets are strong in sympathy with foreign markets. and staple wools are well cleaned up. The mems wear season in woolens has not been entirely satisfactory.

 publishes the following snake story which we find reproduced in The Mont. gomery Advertiser under a "two-deck- err headline, the top line of which is punctuated with an Interrogation point
 It begins to appear that the fabled cred a veritable myth, or creature oi the imagination, is to be proven a re- ality, and that. too, by one who is not a nature fakir.
 c. M. Baugh. when he came down from his coal mine near Carlisle on Sand Mountain Tuesday, brought with him 2 specimen of this much talked of spe- cies of the reptilian family. Mir. Baugh says that in common with most people he had always been in doubt of the ex- istence of the joint snake until that day brought with him to the city. He says the snake flew into pieces when 1t was struck with a stick, and he also saw the hssspsss ts crawl S wbs ns9 she Eo0ss brought to Gadsden in a paper bag. Yesterday morning the pieces were on class of nature fakirs with Parson Long Teddy Roosevelt and Jack Lon don, MT. Baugh says he now believes fmen he brought in was the genuine ''reptilea jointica" and maybe the end that escaped Is now growing a new tail somewhere in the woods of Sand

 We have heard it said that when one of these jointed snakes had been dis jointed by a blow, the joints, if not mashed or otherwise subjected to any worse violence than what was requir- ed to disconnect them, would, if left alone, connect themselves in their reg ular order and become live snake again. We cannot vouch for this, having never been an eye witness to one of these alleged readJustments, but we have seen the jointed snakes and single blow with a stick, and have seen the head with two or three Inches of body tor it move about after being de- tached from the main part of the body and tail

 Gossip of Paris.
BY HENRI DUBOIS.

Faris. Oct. l2.--A strike of the miii- tary police called the Gendarmes. is the calamity which Is threatening the people of France at the present time. and what makes the outlook exceed ingiy serious is the fact that both in- side and outside of Paris the Apaches are becoming more audacious every day, and nobody can tell what might happen if the policemen should sud denly refuse to go on duty.
 The members of the military police declare that they have many griev- ances which they have repeatedly att tempted to bring to the attention of the authorities. and they were now going to have National Congress to be held in the city of Nantes.
 Their main complaints are that while the costs of living has increased very rapidly, their wages stili remain the same as 1t was when living was cheap. That their pensions are too low, and that besides attending to their duty on post they are compelled to 20 through a tiresome weekly drill under arms like the common soldiers The last mentioned fact is especially ob- noxious to the hundred of the eend- armes who have entered the. military police after having been non-cornmis- stoned officers in the army Used to be in the command Of a squad of pri- yates they dislike being reduced to the ranks
 The Minister of Justice admits tiiat the pay of the military police is too low, being only s17 a month and ris- Ing to maximum of about s5 more with deduction of s2 month zfor uniform and other articles of es1nip- ment. He hopes, however. to be able to avert the strike and will one of the first days receive g. committee of the men whom he will try to induce to walt until hescan put the matter be- fore the Chamber of Deputies.

 days ago on the charge of deserting from that post in July of this year.
 The capture of Bush came about acci- dentally. Three or four men from

 working in one of the livery stables here. The conversation was reported to the marshal and he made a tour of the stables. finding his man at En- signs. He took him into custody and the authorities at the post were nOti- fled While he was in town Bush, who is only twenty-two years of age. created Q good impression, which may help him in his present trouble.
