Many other suggestions, equally as unique, were offered, but it remained for the driver of beer wagon, who happened to be in the crowd, to come to the rescue.
 He calmly picked up the snake and deposited it gently but firmly in the back yard.
 How the snake happened to make its appearance in the jag foundry at such an opportune--or inopportune if you lke-stage of the game was mystery for some time, but the facts finally leaked out.
 The beer keg smasher, had found tho snake on the street, just outside of tho saloon, as it was crawling away froG a garbage can, and seeing that the rep tile was perfectly harmless, had car ried it into the wet goods emporium just to create little excitement.
 That he succeeded goes without. say ing and now quite a contingent of wei known people who develop a thirst oi hot days are laying for that beer man

 APPOINTED

A noteworthy event in the social life of Globe will occur Friday evening, June IS, when the new reading room of St. Paul 's Methodist Episcopal church will be thrown open to the pub lie with suitable program of music, reeitations and speeches.
 Through the energy of Rev. F.. C.. Decker and other interested workers of the church, new furn shings are being added daily to the equipment of the room and the work of finishing the interior decorations is being rapidly pushed to completion.
 The walls of the room will, according to present plans, be tinted a salmon col or, and the cell ng will be wood stained or painted in some dark color that will harmonize well. Three handsome tab. es, l2 mission chairs and rocker have al- ready been donated by people interested in the reading room. An individual writing desk will be placed in one cor ner, and on th,s there will be a tele- phone free to the public. Magazine and newspaper racks, 1000 envelopes with paper to match, 100 window cards, subscriptions to 25 magazines and peri odicals, pens, inks, and biotters are other things contributed to the new en. terprise.
 An ice-water tank will slake the thirst of those using the reading room. The room proper wlll be 25 feet by 50 feet long not including the kitchen aud rest room. The kitchen will be fur nished with gas stove, a cupboard, and full set of dishes.
 The program for the opening night is being arranged by special commit tee. Among the speakers will be Sup erintendent Smith of the Globe public schools.
 The interior of the church g audience c room is about to undergo a thorough renovation. It will be entirely repa- pered and painted, the color scheme be- ing a dark cream. Three new grass aisle rungs will be put in and dark green Brussels carpet will be laid over the floor of the pulpit, the steps and that part of the main floor of the church directly in front of the audience seats A new baptistry ten feet long by five feet wide by four feet deep will be in' stalled with concrte steps leading down into it. Two new pulpit chairs will be provided and there will be an ornamen- tai railing with curtain in front of the pulpit. A new floor will also be laid in the rear of the church. One of the most desirable alterations will be that to be made on the windows so that they can be easily lowered and raised. This change should render the church cool, even in the hottest weather.

A small blaze, starting from sparks flying from nearby chimney, threat ened for a few minutes to demolish the o. D. Coffee house and the build ings adjoining it late yesterday after noon.

 The restaurant was flooded with water, but t.e damage was nominal and did not prevent the restaurant from accommodating the evening crowd.
 Owing to the location of the blaze it created considerable excitement as had the flames secured hold on tho building, disastrous fire could hardly have been averted.

SNAKESHIP CREATES EXCITEMENT
 IN LOCAL PALACE OF JOY

With few more experiences of the kind that happened in we'll known Broad street thirst parlor, yesterday afternoon, prohibition wave is likely to hit this town and with. terrific force at that.
 A snake, not the kind that are sup posed to exist in the dsordcrod braias of over indulging topers, but real live reptile, made its appearance on the bar just as about dozen patrons were mopping the perspiration from their brows and preparing to get outside of a long cold one. Several of the by. starders did not need to finish the mop ping act. The sweat just naturally froze where it had oozed out of tine pores.
 Thero was a general break to get away from the snake, and, after the first shock of the excitement had sub sided somewhat, to dispose of it.
 Many and varied were then plans suggested. One man wanted to have it caught and dropped into whiskey barrel. so that it would drink itself into delirium tremens and die of its own accord. As this plan wouli not improve the booze to any appreciable extent, it was abandoned as not being feasib'e.
 Another bystander had an inspira' fion. He wanted to sprinkle his snake lets with gasoline and set fire to it This plan was considered to be triae dangerous, as it would have been Table to raise the fire insurance on the block which would have been necessary to re place the present one.

 The meeting was called st the in- stance of Secretary of Commerce and Labor Straus.
 The problems discussed included leg islation to extend the steamboat in- spection service to the inspection of locomotive boilers. and consideration of statistics of emigration in connecA tion with immigration.
 In addressing the conference, Sece- tary Straus suggested that the labor leaders make formal statement of the labor conditions In the United States for distribution, through the United States consuls in foreign countries This. he believed, would discourage that type of immigration for which there is no room in this country. He urged that railroad locomotive boilers be placed, by law, under supervision of the steamboat inspection service.
 The speakers included President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. Grand Chief Stone of the Locomotive Engineers; William F l. Yates, President of the Marine En- gineers, Beneficial Association: John Mitchell. former President of the United Mi1se Workers of America; Timothy Healy, President Of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Engineers

 John Mitchell said that from 2,Oo0,O00 to 5,000,0oO men in this country are now unemployed. He discussed the problem of immigration, pointing out that too often the man who arrived in this country immediately got job. while the man who had spent his life In thls country, was walking the streets.

BOY TRAMP
 MEETS DEATH Falls Under Wheels of Train.
 .-4-~-s----- BOTH LEGS WERE AMPUrArED |In Delirum He Was Never Able to
 Tell of Home.
 A--s---- ' sefer. Death Rei,evea HI. suaerias He Merely Had Time te Gasp
 TAst His Name Was
 George Koroaer.

Far from home and kith and kin,. un- able, in the delirium which preceded the end, to comprehend or answer the questioning as to his home and people George Koroner. a boy not more than 22 years old. died Wednesday afternoon at St Margarets. after several days of futile struggle against the effects of injuries received while ridins blind" on a freight of the Louisville and Nashville.
 Clad in servIceabie blue overalis. the hoy was riding. stowaway, the freight toward Montgomery. when 1t stopped at Letohatchie on saturday ol last week. As the train slowed. jerk fly t0 Q stop, the tramp attempted to allght, lost his footing, was hurled to the ground and car passed over his legs.
 Witnessing the occurrence the train men solicited the services of physi- elan immediately, and an anhputatioH of both legs. just above the ankles. was etfected.
 With the fearful hurt. the boy had time to merely gasp his nama. before he passed into the merciful oblivion ot unconsciouenes.
 Once as he lay in the presence of the tralnmen. he spoke of Covingtop, Ky, and told of several names of that place. Telegrams failed to elicit response from the addresses given. and another told that no such persons existed In Covington.
 Meanwhile the boy was brought to Montgomery. tenderly nurtured on the same train on which he had before been forced to steal hIs passage He was rushed to St. Margafet's hospital, where he lay. with his light, curly hair matted. his intelligent face dulled in the coma of approaching death, until the end came yesterday.
 Once. when the unconsciousness changed to wild 'dellriun. he spoke of Cincinnati. but said nothing that could lead to his Identification.
 The remains of the ill.fated young wanderer rested throughout last night in Tice's undertaking hall. They will probably be inferred today at the ex- pense of the city unless there comes q message from home to claim the pitl- fnl remains.
