that in case the sanitary conditions
can be sustained until a mudh needed

Lovers Meet by Chance at

Within an Aour a License and
Parson are Secured and the Knot

Several years ago Mrs, Louisa

merchant, of Anderson, Ind, aged
90 and wealthy, when he was taken
Ill and sent to a hospital at Sala-
manca, N. Y. Thursday, they met
In this city and closed the pretty ro-
nance by securing a license and be
coming man and wife.
The bride is 45 years old and dad
twice previously entered matrimony.
The long weeks in the hospital were
very dear to the hearts of each.
Woods each day thought of the bright
eyed woman who so tenderly cared
for him while he was Ill and longed
to see her again. Yet he imagined
that she cared nothing for him and
had forgotten all about him. The
woman, too kept the memory of her
patient fresh in her mind but kept
her love a secret "a she. likewise
thought he had forgotten her. Thurs
day afternoon Woods came in on a
Big -Four train from Anderson. and
while changing cars here met the
woman who, coming from Salamanca
changed cars here to get a train for
Columbus.
1T was a happy reunion. Though
sixty years of age. the old gentleman
wooed as ardently as though he had
seen but a score OF years instead of
three. Blushing like school girl
not yet out of her teens, the bride
elect confessed her lore and all that
remained was a license and a parson.
1T was after the hour of closing the
office that the undaunted happy
lovers hunted up the marriage IL
cense clerk and secured the coveted
document, In the license the bride
gave her residence as Marion, Ohio,
it was just at that moment, of
course. But It was not such a ser
ious thing, and II atonement Is nee

Rev. @. r.. Burckle was summoned

showered upon the happy couple,
they left for wedding trip on the
lakes at the conclusion of which they
will go to Anderson, Ind, TO sur
prise the friends of the groom.

Superstition In Japan.

Says the Kobe Herald: "A man
named Oshita Matsusaku. living at
Yamano-mura, Shinzaki, has been i'll
since September last with malady
which failed to yield to ordinary treat
ment. During the present month his
wife got into the hands of two pro-
fessional exorcists, who persuaded her
that her husbands trouble was due
to the spirits of a fox and badger,
which were tormenting the unfortun-
ate man. Having been allowed to take
charge of the case, the two men built
up an enormous charcoal fire, to
which for six days they exposed the
patient on the pretext of driving out
the evil spirits. In addition, they
poured boiling water over the sick
mans back. The natural result was
that the unhappy mans body became
covered with burns and he is now in
such critical condition that it is not
expected that he will recover.

POISON FROM VIPER.

The operation was the elimination
of years Of painstaking trouble, In the
course of which many obstacles that
appeared almost insurmountable were
finally overcome. So great is the
dread of the reptile among the natives
around the headwaters of the Amazon,
where II is to be found, and among
sailors who know of its dangerous
character, that it was only with the
utmost difficulty that specimen was
captured and brought back to New
York
Those who participated in the opera
ton were DR.. Raymond l.. Ditmars.
curator of reptiles at the park; DR..
homeopaths Of the country; Head
keeper Charles F. Snyder of the rep
tile house and DR.. Runyon.
Those who had gathered around the
table expecting to see the deadly viper
brought into the room securely Gagged
we're thrown almost into panic when
Head-keeper Snyder appeared at the
head OF the passageway bearing the
writhing monster at arms length on a
piece of slender wire.
They were reassured moment
later. however. when the snake was
placed upon the table, his head clev-
erly pinioned, and DIR. Ditmars seized
him in firm grip. Holding the reptile
close to his body, With the head point
ing outward, DR.. Ditmars gave the sig
nal and Keeper Snyder thrust into the
snakes mouth the receptacle which
had been prepared to receive the ven
ON. 1t was a glass of unusual
strength. and the wide aperture at the
top had been covered with piece of
medicated gauze and securely fixed In

point less than half an inch from the
viper's nose there was lunge for

could follow 1t, the mouth was thrown
open. the lips which covered the cruel
fangs were curled back and with a
snap the fangs tore through the cloth,
the jaws closed sharply and the poi

spurted harmlessly into the glass.
The snake will be kept in captiv-

GOTHAM SCIENTISTS RISK LIVES
IN HANDLING LANcE-HEAD.
Deadly Reptile Gives Up one-Third
TeaspoonfuI Serum, Sufficient to
Supply World for Fifty
Years.

New york.-Science the other day
pitted its skill against the deadliest
Of all vipers and was victorious.
For the first time In so years and
the second time in history an opera
tion was performed for the extraction
Of venom from the deadly lance-head
viper, the most poisonous OF all known
vipers.
The operation was performed at the
Bronx geological park under the direc-
ton Of e. w. Runyon, through whose
efforts the snake was captured and
brought to New York to be robbed of
serum.
Great danger attended the opera
ton, for the slightest incubation of
the poison by the reptile meant death
to the person afflicted. The good to
be derived was considered worth the
risk, and when the perllous task was
completed a plentiful supply of the
fluid had been secured. This serum
has been found to be almost invalu-
able in the treatment of extreme cases
of insanity and also of the many ma
lignant diseases.
Inc Extremely powerful nature OF
the lance-head's venom can be no bet
ter described. probably. than by the
declaration of one of the scientists
who witnessed the operation. When
the work had been completed and the
precious fluid obtained had been care
fully weighed and found to be less
than one-third Of an ordinary teaspoon
full In quantity. he announced that the
supply was ample TO meet the de-
mands OF the world for at least half a
century.
He explained at the same time that
this would provide for the most wide
spread use of the serum in all the ma
lignant diseases, such as typhoid and
scarlet fever and .diphtheria. So pow
erful is the action that it is prescribed
only in the most minute quantities,
the largest portion commonly used con-
taining only one-ten-trillionth of a
grain. From that point the trituration
continues down to point where fig
ures would be useless in attempting
to describe it.

HAT MONEY FOR CHURCH.

members of the society. The PROPOSE
ton was a severe test on the loyalty
of the women to the church, but they
were equal to the sacrifice. Many of
them signed the list and thus agreed
to give up the cash that would have

the purpose of paying off that long.
standing debt
The result is somewhat hard on the
millinery stores. but 1t is gratifying
to the church officers. The women
who have thus pledged themselves
went to church bareheaded and
showed to the other members OF the
congregation who those are who have
made the sacrifice.
Whether the brethren will arise to
the occasion By giving up spring
derby for the same purpose remains
to be seen.
