YOUTH BATTLES
TO The DEATH
WITH BIG SNAKE
Flags Poisonous COpperfiead in
Bloomfield with Butt of
a Whip.

William Rawson, son of William r.
Rawson, superintendent OF public
works in Bloomfield. today told of a
battle he had with a big ~copperhead
snake in the Brookdale section Of that
town. a number of workmen were en-
gagged in digging away a bank of dirt
when the poisonous snake made its
appearance from a clump of bushes. II
was angry and full of fight, and When
the Italian laborers saw 1t they
dropped their picks and shovels and
ran pell-mell in all directions.
Young Rawson, who was on The seat
of a wagon. leaped to the ground armed
with a whip. In q short but lively bat
tie Rawson killed the snake.
The snake measured four feet in
length and was as big around as the
butt end of a billiard cue.
T~hirty-two young snakes glided out
from under a big stone when the old
snake was dispatched.
The most of them were killed by the
workmen who seemed ashamed of
themselves when they saw young Raw
son kill what was evidently the
mother of the little ones.

MAY
!. FIGHT CALDWELL
FOR MAYORALTY
Former East Orange Councilman
Likely to Announce His
Candidacy.

Statements made during the past few
days to the effect that Stephen w,
Ougheltree would not oppose Mayor
William Cardwell, of East Orange, for
the Republican nomination, are not
by Mr.. Oughe1tree. He said
today that he was far from being a
dead one
Mr.. Ougheltree declared he had not
fully made UP his mind one way or an
other, however, but had expected to be
a declared candidate long before this
The former Council chairman has been
busy, he says, closing up some busi-
mess affairs and has been unable to mix
strongly in political affairs.
Mr.. Ougheltree intimated that he
would be a candidate for the honor
and that his decision would be made
known in a short time at a public
meeting.
Two or three matters are yet to be
settled satisfactorily before a final de
cision is reached. Mr.. Ougheltree said
he had been asked right and left to de-
clare himself a candidate. 'f'''
Many venture the opinion that Mayor
Cardwell will be opposed for the noml-
nation, and that Mr.. Ougheltree will be
the man. A veal ago he refused ia
accept a nomination for the City Coun-
Gil, of which he was a member about
eleven years, and the understanding
was that he would run for mayor.

NUTLEY MAD DOG
BITES CHILD AND
TWO OTHER DOGS
Attacks Boy at Play and Creates
Panic Until Shot by
Man.

Nutley was the scene of a mad-dog
scare, and one child, a ~S-year-old son
of Martin Bosland, Of lS New street,
was badly bitten through the right
hand by a stray cur dog. 1t was said
today the wound was serious.
The screams of the child brought
John Adams and Francis Stager, near
by residents, but the dog had left the
child and run to the rear Of Adams's
house. where two valuable collie dogs
were tied, and bit both of them. The
child when bitten was playing near
Stager's barn. in Franklin avenue, with
a pet dog belonging to Mrs. A. M. Karl,
of Franklin venue
The dog which did the biting escaped
for a time, but was run down by
Adams. who had procured a shotgun
from his house, and he killed the animal
near his own house.
Mrs. Bosland. who heard the cries of
her son, was frantic when she learned
that her child had been bitten by a sup
posed mad dog, and rushed him to
H. Il. Lefferts's pharmacy, where the
bitten hand was cauterized. The three
dogs that were bitten were securely tied
up. and will be closely watched for
symptoms of rabies.

Talk.
"CONDEMN US ON SUNDAY,

Wall Street Man Says Legisla-
tors Are Also in the
Market.

One of the matters most discussed to-
day. which occurred al the picnic of the
Changers of Essex, Morris and Hudson
counties 'at Verona Lake Park yester-
cay was the rather sensational address
of John b. Lauder, the wealthy Wall
. Street broker, of West Orange, whose
topic was 1.-The Farmer and Wall
Street" Talking of the critics of specu-
lation. he said:
IT am not going to 'discuss the morals
of this great speculative centre or argue
whether it is right or wrong to Specu-
late. but l want to remind you that in
such an extensive field of operations
there must be a lot of bad men-a LOT
OF parasites that give an hon est bust
ness bad name Oh, e we have the
'pikers'. down there, the professional
tipsters, the 'weichers,' the bucketshop
~swindlers, the plunger and the petty,
mean speculatoI who is on the lookout
to do up somebody before the day is
over. 1t is just these men who are re-
sponsible for the attacks upon Wall
Street and it's methods. 81 H.
WI are the men who generally at
tack Wall Street. Ibaye heard clergy
men call the attention OF. their
cations to what the term this gam
bling hell, and yet 1 have seen these
ministers of the gospel who preached
on Sunday 'takinE a flyer and looking
for stock market bargains Oh N Monday.
State Legislatures as well as the nu-
tional government have Investigated
Wall street, and yet many of the menu
bers of these bodies are in the stock
market.
And the farmer is seen investing the
profits on the sale of $25 a ton timothy
in some good securities. and 1 don't
BLANC him far doing so.t providing he
places his ordeFs with honorable firms
and ~avoids-the shrieking appeals of the
conscienceless broker. Wal Street, of
course, has its dark days as we'll as its
bright days, its periods of depression
and it's periods of prosperity, its panics
and its booms, and it's periods of ap-
parently senseless imitation.
The panic which began in October
last and from which we have now well
nigh recovered changed the social and
financial status of many Wall Street
men. Many were reduced from at
nuence to poverty. Some brokers and
others who rode in an automobile one
day used the subway and elevated
trains the next, and one or two others
since hat panic have been accommo-
dated with a few rides In the prison
van. " -
1.-THE interests of the farmer are so
closely interviewer with the financial
interests of the country that, while we
should do our Utmost to regulate
abuses, we should do nothing which
would Stir up strife. and enmity,f !

Diana of PHILADELPHIA.

At the mint in Philadelphia there
are to be seen coins far more precious
than any which find their way into cir
cuation. These form a collection of
curios, and many of them date from
times of great antiquity.
Perhaps the most interesting Of
them is a handsome coin bearing on
it's face the profile of woman, which
has a striking resemblance to the
Goddess of Liberty of our own coun-
try. Underneath is the single word
Demos" which is the Greek for
the people"
On the reverse side of the coin
is a beautiful figure of the Goddess
Dianna, arching her bow, and the
inscription, translated into English,
reads, Dianna, Friend Of the Philadel-
phians.
This coin was minted some 1000
years ago at the city of Philadelphia.
in Asia Minor, where, as we know,
there grew up in later years one Of
the seven churches of which St. John
writes. The prize was discovered
some years ago in Europe by a Mr..
Mickley of Philadelphia. BY him it
was appropriately presented to the
| mint at Philadelphia.
