Two Deadly Snakes Landed at
the New York Zoo
LIVE ON THEIR OWN KIND
Expensive Boarders, But Immensely
Interesting - Twelve Feet Long
Eaeh-Lunge at Their Keepers and
Sulk at the Visitors.

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-Two ex-
pensive boarders have come to the
Bronx Park ZOO They are pair of
liking cobras from India, which Cura-
tor Raymond L. Ditmars says are
the most deadly of all known rep
tiles. These cobras eat nothing but
live snakes, They usually eat two at
a meal Live snakes cost, the zoo
management $3.50 even for the most
common species So the weekly mess
bill of the king cobras will be Sc.
This is if they are fed as often as
they are accustomed to eat in their
wild state. But these two king CO.
bras have eaten nothing since they ar
rived at the zoo three months ago.
Curator Ditmars and Keeper Snyder
of the reptile house will make an eff
fort this week to procure live snakes
for them.
The two cobras which are fasting
just now because of the lack of food
snakes are each II feet long. They are
the most vicious in the collection and
are kept in cage to themselves,
Their long fast seems to have no ef-
feet upon them, unless it is to make
them uglier than usual In the morn
ing when there are not many visitors
around the keepers remove the WOO
den panel in the rear of their cage,
Inside the wooden panel is heavy
wire screen, through which the Co.
bras can get air, The keepers pass
up and down the corridor in the rear
of the snake cages, The cobras
lunge at them as they pass. They
strike their heads against the wire
screen only to recoil AMI plunge again.
When the wooden panel is placed in
position, along about noon, the CO.
bras sulk in the cage looking at the
visitors through the heavy plate glass,

FAIRVIEW, Aug. 1.-THE most
important happening at Fairview to-
day was the emphatic denial by Col.
Bryan of the story printed in the
Pittsburg papers that he had "sold
out" to the Kerr faction in order to
accomplish the defeat of Colonel
Guffey for the national committee
men for alleged price of 100000 as a
campaign contribution. The charge
is said to have been made that Bryan
made good" but that the Kerr fac
tion did not Come through" with the
money. Bryan said he never heard
of the offer or agreement Bryan did
not permit himself to be drawn into
further discussion with President
Van Cleve of the Manufacturers AS
sociation, His decision is based on
the fact that Van Cleave had failed to
defend his former contentious but had
shifted to other questions.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma sent
word to the nation committee that he
will give half the proceeds of the com
ing series of lectures to the campaign
fund,

the preacher said. Our people are
Judged by the worst element Of our
race, and unless we rise and condemn
and fight against those lawless ele-
ments we will be rightly judged
'In the trouble al Springfield we
are apt, perhaps to condemn the
whites, but we must accept our share
Of responsibility. We shord form an
organization, a law and order league,
to rid our community Of negro law

TAFT AND HIS RELIGION.

Many of our friends have written conc rning the
election of William Howard Taft the Presidential chair
and many beralminded papers throughout the country
political in spite of the opposition
preachers because the Republican nominee hai adopted
religious creed that does believe that Jesus born in
the flesh and conceived by the spirit in contrary

In many respects Untarianism, the sect to which the
Presdenteect belongs is but mild form of Christianity
and has frequently been described a feather bed
catch falling Christian 1t also a notorious fact that

while without much serious thought the fact of Jesus being

degree of skepticsm fall the Unitarian church This
body in many cities has been denied representation in the
councils of ministerial associations the ground that they
are sufficiently orthodox for fellowship and communion
therein.

and certain sign of the decay of militant ortho
doxy and if the sentiment makes any serious headway
within the next four years. it may be possible in the
future to eject Il to this high office of pro-
nounced views.
Let i he understood, however, that Taft is by
