SOCIETY GIRL AND CHAUFFEUR.
Another Pittsburg Damsel Runs Of
 to Wed.

Pittsburg, Aug 5.-Daniel Slat- tery, a young chauffeur of the east end district, who has been motoring for many of the rich families, yes terday afternoon eloped with Miss Madeline Zeigler, only daughter of Mrs Margaret zeigler, one of the rich east end society women, for whom Slattery had often driven an auto.
 Slattery and Miss Madeline went in a hurry on finding that Mrs Zeig- Ter had employed detectives to look up his record on learning that he had been making love to her daughter. Mrs Zeigler had two warrants is- sued for the chauffeur's arrest on charges which he asserts were trumped up, and when he met Miss Madeline in the afternoon he told her of all his troubles and suggested that they elope immediately.
 Where, and with what?" asked Madeline. who had only a few dol lars in her purse. and she knew that Danny never had a whole lot of money.
 Come on. I'll borrow a ma. chine" said Danny. hopefully, as he started down street. He pushed Miss Zeigler into the first auto they saw standing in the street and fed to West Virginia, where they were mar ried. They returned yesterday.
 Eddie Bald. the bicycle rider, whose machine If was they had .hor- rowed," in the meantime had a war rant issued for the thief. not know ing 1t was Slattery. who is his friend. On learning that 1t was an elopement of his friend, Bald had the warrant cancelled; but not so with the angry Mrs Zeigler. She sent word that she wanted the warrants she had sworn out served and that her daughter must never again darken the Zeigler door: that the Zeigler money would go to charity when she was through with 1t.

SPANISH WAR MEN QUARREL.
Colonel Fowler Forced Out of Parade
 in Troy.

Troy, N. Y., Aug 5.-The parade yesterday afternoon of the United Spanish War Veterans, holding state encampment here, was marred by an incident which no doubt will have an important bearing on the election of department commander tomorrow. Colonel Edward S. Fowler of New York is prominent candidate. He appeared in carriage with Captain H. Ely, department chief of staff, and Brigadier General Adolph Klein of Brooklyn, at the end of the process sion. John T. Oates of Staten Island, who is an ardent supporter of Mau- rice Simmons, the judge advocate of the department, objected to the pres ence of Colonel Fowler in that posi- tion, and after Rear Admiral Coglan, the department commander, had been consulted. Colonel Fowler agreed to withdraw from the parade. and pro- ceeded to the objective point, Rensse- laer park, by different route.

WALSH REACHES ELM CITY.
:, Month Ahead of Schedule on Trip
 From San Francisco.

New Haven, Aug 5.-Sergeant John Walsh of Fort Logan, Col. who started from San Francisco May 23 to walk to Boston on a $25,O00 wag- CT. arrived in New Haven last even ing more than month ahead of his schedule, and after stopping at the Tontine hotel for a short time, start ed up State street to go to Boston by the Hartford turnpike.
 Sergeant Walsh will be 52 years old September 21, two days before he Is scheduled to arrive in Boston. He is in the regular army service sta tioned at Fort Logan and is on six months furlough to take this jaunt. He says he will reach Boston Friday afternoon and that his long journey will end at the junction of Boston common and the public gardens. Then he will go to the state capitol, and af- ter that to Jamaica Plains to spend two weeks with his daughter before going by rail back to San Francisco.
 The walk is the result of a bet made between Colonel Warren of San Francisco and the Golden Gate A. c. The colonel. who had unlimited faith in Sergeant Walsh said that he could go on over the divide and continue on to Boston. The members of the Golden Gate A. c. scoffed at the idea and each side put up 25,000. Up to then no one has ever crossed the di- vide on foot. Colonel Warren wired to Sergeant Walsh offering him $5,- 900 for the try and the offer was ac- cepted.
 When Sergeant Walsh left San Francisco his hair was black. Cross, ing the mountains, four miles in the air, his hair turned white in 72 hours He was almost lost in the noun aims and went ahead be- cause there was nowhere else to go. Then he tackled the deserts. Crossing the deserts he was for two days without water, and stopped an express train by waving the large American flag which he carried, in order to get some provisions. The people on the train gave him all he could carry in the way of provis- ions. ..
 Sergeant Walsh, who has been in the United States army for 27 years and who fought in the Philippines in the Spanish-American war, is dressed in a fatigue uniform and carries large knapsack. In the knapsack are provisions and count. less note books, which. according to the agreement in the bet contain the signature of the mayors or post masters, or their accredited repre- sentatives Of all the towns he passes through. Several of these books have been filled and last night, Mir Kehoe. the night clerk at the local post office, stamped the book.

VENOM AT sso,OOO A POUND.
Collection of Snake Poison, More Valuable Than Precious Metals.


 New York, Aug 5.-Snake venom has proved so useful to medical science that the collect ing of 1t Is fast developing into a recognized business.
 Sold by weight. according to the Boston Post, 1t fetches higher price than any of the precious met als. the market price working out at about s30,000 per pound-troy. And when one considers how danger ous and difficult 1t is 10 obtain the venom these prices are easily under stood.
 The snakes must be captured alive. To do so. many hunters catch the reptiles with their hands, hold ing their slippery prey firmly till the poison is deposited in a bag or box.
 A full grown snake seldom ejects more than one grain-troy weight of poison at a bite.

Miss Irene White, an attache of the
White Dressed Meat company of this CITY
is among the new candidates in district
C. When nominated. Miss White felt il
an uphill climb, because some contest
ants had already large showings of votes
But that was before the young lady IN
derstood the contest thoroughly When
she learned that the race is just begin

charming manner became all the more so
because of her pleasure at hearing what
she termed good news

Miss White put the proposition in a

there is nothing to lose and much to gain
Surely the prize should not be lost for the
want of an effort.
You know that old saying: For the
