TERRORIZED
WHOLE CITY

Altoona, Pa, July 22-The black
snake, which for three weeks had
kept the residents of the English
ward in state of terror, was killed
yesterday and hundreds of women and
children are breathing easily. The
reptile made its headquarters in a
dilapidated vacant house, but went on
foreign expeditions, turning up enex-
pectedly in the most out-of-the-way
places
Mrs, John Chatams was bringing in
the mornings milk when his snake
ship. evidently attracted to the
lacteal fluid, appeared on the walk.
jThe woman screamed and Ralph Bru-
baker and another man rushed to the
rescue. Ralph used hoe and the
other man revolver. The snake
measured five feet.

REFUSED
Moorish Tribesmen Attack
Spaniards And Are
Slaughtered.

: Melila, Morocco, July 22-Moor-
ish tribesmen yesterday attacked a
Spanish force at the railroad station
inst outside of this town but were re-
pulsed by Calling guns.
General Marina, commander OF the
Spanish forces in Morocco, has re-
ceived letter from the Moorish
chiefs, warning him that the only way
of avoiding bloody war, prejudical
to the interests of both sides, Is by
the withdrawal Of the Spanish troops
from the territory in dispute.
According to the last dispatches,
the Moors in the fighting yesterday
made series of fierce attacks at sew
eral points along the Spanish line,
with the evident object OF cutting
communication between Melilla and
General Marina's camp at Atalayou
and to isolate the stores in the sta
ton at the extremity Of the Spanish
position. The Moors advanced steadily
along the railroad but were driven
back by the artillery. Extra provisions
and arms are being rushed to the ex-
posed Spanish posts. The gunboat
Martin Alonzo Pinzon bombarded the
enemy Lut was forced to fire high In
order to avoid hitting the Spanish
forces. The Moors employed modern
and daring tactics. They cut the tele-
phone wires and often endangered the
Sranish position. The Spanish loss
was 10 killed and 20 wounded.

All OF this goes to make up an

new Chautauquas are started every

tinue to prosper Is pretty good evil

ALIENS

Parts of the Country,
Says McHarg.

Narragansett Pier, r. T., July ga
An urgent plea that efforts be made
to relieve the congested centers of
the country of their allen popula- :
tlon by distributing them in sections

employment was today made by
Ormsby, McHarg, assistant secretary
of the department of commerce and
labor, in an address before the Com

IF this country Is to be known as
the land of the free and the home
of the brave" declared Mr.. McHarg,
1T must be made free and the only
way 1t can be made free is to put into
the hands of men the tools of free
dom--property. The newcomers can
not acquire this in the congested
centers. III we are to protect the in
stitutions Il this country we must
see that these men. whose voices will
be raised in our forums with the
voices of our children, shall raise
them In praise and not in blame of
this country and It's laws" M
The speaker was discussing "The
Relations of the Department of Com
Interests OF the United States"
He appealed to his hearers and
their clients to organize and advise
| government officials at Washington on
the labor markets as they advise It on
the wheat cotton and iron markets
and as to the condition of growing
crops
How strange men are" continued
| Mr.. McHarg. "They deal scientifically
with all matters outside of the i'm.

Referring to the thousands of immi-

seemed to him that true economy de.
manded that something should be
done to help this great influx of mer

This" said he, requires the es-
! tablishment of specially equipped
trains running from such congested
centers as New York City to all parts
OF the country which will carry these
men at actual cost. In order that they
may be placed where their services
are needed on the farms and in fac

SUMMER CHAUTAuouAs.

II is extremely doubtful IL the peo-
pie of this country fully appreciate
the value which Bishop John III. Vim
cent gave to the world when he
formulated his Chautauqua idea, as it
Is called II Is the one new thing in
educational affairs that has been given
TO the world these hundred years, and
there is no way of estimating the
good that has resulted therefrom.
Bishop Vincent was always a
thoughtful man. He did not believe in
idleness, save that idleness when
comes from study. He needed a va
cation, as other preachers do, but
he did not like the idea of going TO
summer resort and forgetting the
world. He desired to work while he
rested, ifgyou please.
So he went to little like in West
ern New York and established a camp
Lake Chautauqua, the place was
called, and the name of the idea fol-
lowed the name OF the lake. There
were with him number OF congenial
souls, and they decided that while
they were in camp it would be a
pretty good time TO get together and
discuss matters in which all were in
terested. He got so much benefit him
self from the friendly discussions
that he believed it would be a good
thing IL more people could be present
Sc that next summer he turned his
camp into sort of camp meeting,
but camp meeting that was different
That was the beginning of the sum
mer Chautauquas which have since
grown up all over the United States.
The nature of the Chautauqua Is toe
well known to require comment. Prac.
tlcally everyone has attended such
meetings 1t is understood that there
Is platform from which is discussed
the issues OF the day as well as the
Issues OF the past and the future
that there are schools for young and
Old, and classes and circles, and a
general intermingling OF people. The
camp life is a pleasant diversion oI
course, and 1t takes many people te

ENGINEER
rs sCALDED

Massi;lon, o., July 22-While at
tending to his duties as engineer at
the Sonnhalter mine south of Ma
varre last evening Allen Kellar of
that village was knocked from his
feet and hcrled across the engine room
by stream OF boiling water under
high pressure which had spurted from
n hole in the pipes where they had
burst at an intersection. He was
frightfully burned and may die.
There was no one else at the mine
when the accident happened, and al
though his body was singing with the
intense pain Kellar pulled himself out
of the boiling water, turned OF the
water and crawled to a telephone and
called up Navarro for help.

PALMER'S BID
FOR POPULARITY

Within three years of three score
and ten. Prof. George Herbert Palmer,
of Harvard, breaks forth from the col
lege cloister with a bid for populari-
ty that should win him universal
applause of the rising generation.
Says the Cambridge Solon, "Flirt-
ing is the surest road toward the
proper knowledge of social life.
think the girl OF Radcliffe and the
boys of Harvard devote too much
time TO study. They should mingle a
little frivolity with their studies-in
other words they should flirt a lit
tle."
This is going the University Of
Chicago theorists one better. The
views OF Prof. Palmer at once lift
old 'Hawvud" out OF the rut of mere
scholarship into the high eminence Of
. red-blooded, human institution. II
his ideas should prevail with the
rest of the faculty, and be accepted at
Radcliffe, these schools will at once
leap to the front as the most desir-
atle seats OF learning in the country.
or course the professor speaks from
experience and experiment. 1t would
be treating him with less dignity than
his official position merits to suppose
that his utterance Is made with haste
and lack of that definite knowledge
which alone furnishes a solid basis
for the convictions of men OF
scientific mind.
Prof. Palmer has probably tried 1t
On with the college widow. AS a SER
ious investigator he has proven the
value of filtration in giving relief TO
the wearied intellect and relaxation
to tue brain, stretched by the con-
slant effort at acquiring wisdom.
II is now tho duty OF the professor
to formulate systematic science of
flirting. To leave his proposition In
its present indefinite form would in
deed be wrong to the young lives
Tor the proper training Of which he
is in a measure responsible.
A text book on filtration is there
fore to be expected in due course, in
which the subject can be treated bio
logically. psycboiogically and philo-
sopbicalIy. Chapters on "The SiSn'h-
canoe OF a Kiss. Are Walks by Moon
tight Advisable?" How Long Should
Hands Be Heid?" will doubtless prove
OF both interest and value.
Prof Palmer has raised the flirta'
ton question at the timely moment
Presuming his book, and we assume he
ccntemplates issuing one, Is ready fol
the publisher, 1t should have mos
rsmunerative sale during the sum
mer season at various vacation re-
sorts.
When the boys and girls return tC
Harvard and Radcliffe after studyinl
its pages, the ,iveliest session ever ex,
LerIeneed by those institutions may
be confidently predicted.

LEPERS FREE

jsland Government Does Not Pretend
70 Regulate Disease -unIted
States in Danger.


NEW YORK, May 1s.-what is said
to be an alarming laxity on the part
Of the Porto Rican government il the
care and control Of persons suffering
with leprosy has been brought to the
official attention Of the United States
government by Dr.. Edward Ehler, one
OF party Of four European experts
who have been studying various dis
eases prevalent In the West Indies,
and who arrived in New York today
from Ponce. Ehlers said that under
the present conditions in Porto Rico
It IS possible for many lepers to emf
crate and carry the disease into the
United States.
In the city Of Ponce he said, Il
found leprosy very prevalent and /
saw many victims in the streets Of the
city. Two men in an advanced stage
of the disease observed begging in
the market place. Something should
be done speedily to obtain a better
surveillance Of suspects and prompter
and more thorough isolation of cases
as soon as detected
