A MYSTERIOUS BEAST.
The Snake Woman of the Virginia
Mountains.

Mountains.
There has just started from James
town, Va, an expedition headed by
several veteran mountaineers having
for its object the investigation of
weird tale regarding a snake woman
who, it is alleged, frequents the wild
parts of the moonshine country.
This strange creature, who, several
witnesses have declared, resembles
reptile as much as a woman, will be
captured If 1t is possible for the men,
bers of the expedition to catch
glimpse of her. A mountaineer on
visit to jamestown brought the first
story OF the snake woman, and claim
ed to be one of the very few per-
sons who had actually seen her.
For years, he stated, tales of wild
woman with the skin of snake, who
travelled upon the ground like a rep
tile and subsisted on living prey, have
been told, but these tales were gen.
orally regarded as idle rumors. Stone
Colby, grizzled mountaineer who Wis
tied the Exposition, however, declares
that the stories, instead of being ex-
aggregated, only tell half the truth
about the strange woman. 1t was he
who made the offer to lead an expe-
dition to the place where the woman
lives.
According to Stone the snake vo-
man is about 25 years old. and in
physical conformation and habits so
closely approaches the reptile species
that she might be regarded as a miss
ing link between it and the human
race. Stone declares she is more like
a snake than like woman. He has
never seen her assume an erect posi-
ton.
Covered with the scaly skin of a
snake and shedding it regularly once
a year in one piece the snake wo-
man glides among the trees and rocks
in search of the small animals, mice,
frogs, ground squirrels and other for
est and swamp prey, which Stone has
seen her eat alive, swallowing them
like a reptile, without mastication.-

TO RE-ADJUST RATES
Favored by Hartman Rather
Than Increased Freight Rates.
ROADS need MORE MONEY
But Hartman Objects to "CcId, Calcu-
Iating. Cruel, horizontal Increase"
Wants it Done Scientifically.

Chicago, Ill.-Edward H. Hartman
before his departure from Chicago for
the west gave a short discussion of
the possibility of general increase
in freight rates in the United States.
"The American people ought to be
willing to pay the railroads a proper
compensation for proper transporta-
ton service" he said. such a serV-
ice we are now performing, but we
are not receiving an adequate return,
If the railroads are to go on extend
ing their lines, improving those which
are now operated and providing new
equipment to take care OF the coun-
trys business, they must have more
revenue l am not in favor of cold,
calculating, cruel and horizontal in
crease in the rates. I am not a traf-
fic man, and l do not know much
about such things, but | know that
there is a proper way to go about a
thing, and that there is bungling
way to do the same thing.
Mr.. Hartman seemed to favor a
general readjustment of freight tariffs
rather than general increase. He
believed that many rates are too low,
and should be increased, DuL ne Was
opposed to a straight 10 per cent in
crease in the carrying charges for all
commodities.
'Ts there to be an increase in
freight rates?" he was asked.
''How can 1 tell" was the reply,
accompanied by a despairing wave of
the hand.
Gwen, if there is to be no increase
in freight rates, will there be a de-
cline in wages?" was the next ques-
ton. A
81 don't care to talk about wages, 2
said Mr.. Hartman, shut the railroad
laborer is in the same position that
the railroads should be in. He is en-
titled to all he can get for his serv-
ices, provided he gives the very best
service that lies in him.:

EXPRESS THIEVES ARRESTED.
BaffIed Detectives for Months---Used
Bogus Tags.

0OS0S 0HSs
New York City.-Following the
arrest Of three men charged with be-
ing members of a. gang who in the
past few months have robbed the
Adams Express Company of trunks, in
which were goods valued at 100000
or more, the detectives of Brooklyn
said that three more arrests would
be made, and the chances are that
some of the stolen goods will be re-
covered.
According to the detectives, the ex-
press company has been robbed
through a system of bogus tags and
checks made by job printer in
league with the gang. When a trunk
was given to driver at some of the
express depots in Brooklyn, he would
put on the bogus tag and check and
deliver the trunk to the house of an
accomplice.
So clever were the thieves that the
detectives and Pinkertons had diff
Guilty in getting clew. Reports came
in daily of the loss of some valuable
trunk or parcel. Then it was discov-

goods was being disposed of in

New York City. Evidently the
British business man, as typified by
the members of the London Lloyd's
does not believe that Sheath" gowns
are destined to become popular in
the United States. At any rate, the
members of the famous insurance
company refused to issue policy for
$4,000 on consignment of sheath
gowns recently imported from Paris
by local department store.
The uptown merchants, feeling
somewhat sceptical as to just how
well the latest Partisan costumes
would take with New York women,
asked an insurance broker to obtain
a policy insuring the sale Of the
gowns--in other words, to insure the
popularity Of the sheath" gown.
The Britisher, knowing that the
London Lloyd's were willing to write
a policy on anything from presiden-
tial election to the safeguarding OF
an automobile race course, or the
fluctuations of the stock market, very
promptly applied for policy on the
Sheath" gowns. To his surprise,
however, he was, to use his own
words. turned down cold" He ap-

CANNOT Use The MAILS
Letters Soliciting Liquor Orders
Illegal in Georgia.
is FAR REACHING DECISION
Court Holds That Solicitation by Mail il
Same as by Person, Therefore
Constitutes Crime.

Atlanta, Ga.-That Uncle Sam cam
not be used as an agent in the solicit
tation of orders for liquor to be ship
ped to Georgia was decided by the
court of appeals in a decision hand
ed down in the cast Of n. M. Rose VS..
the State of Georgia.
This decision is one of the most in
teresting and far-reaching since the
adoption Of the prohibition law, and
its Interpretation by the supreme
court.
The prohibition law prohibits the
sale of liquors in Georgia, or the
soliciting or taking Of orders for the
sale of liquors in this state The court
OF appeals now holds that solicitation
may be made by letter, and that when
such letter from a seller in another
state is received and opened by citi-
zen of Georgia it is as much sOlicita-
ton as though the writer of the let
ter had appeared in person.
The law governing unavailable mat
ter, passed by congress, prohibits the
shipment of intoxicating liquors
through the mails. Hereafter in Geor-
gia, under this decision, no solicita~
IlOu NY lGlIGI 1OOhlub W LAO ooAC VA
liquor In Georgia may be sent through
the mails in this state. The crime Of
sending such letter is committed at
the point where the letter is received,
and takes effect.
The decision rendered says: ''The
state may punish for crime COM
mitted through the mails as medium
without in any sense infringing the
undoubted right of the national gov.
eminent to control the mail. Freedom
to use the mails does not extend to
their use as means of committing
crime" The solicitation of orders for
liquor is crime in Georgia. There
fore, such solicitations sent through
the mail, even though they be mailed
outside of the state, become a crime
when the letters are received within
this state. AS to whether or not this
is a violation of interstate commerce,
Judge Russell in this decision declares
''the exercise Of such state regulation
so far from being in conflict with the
power of congress to regulate inter-
state commerce, is expressly allowed
by law" go.
