An Item Of general Interest Is q MOI
tiee received from Acting Internal

Parlsersbnrg Going Raels.

Parkersburg no longer has a
chamber of commerce or board Of
trade: This Is the belated informa-
ton the newspapers of that city
give, The chamber .of commerce
ceased to exist almost month ago,
according to the State Journal,
which must be the up-to-date news
paper of that city, as 1t violates even
the confidence OF the Associated
Press on confidential matters in or
der to be ahead Of the other news
papers, and even went. so far this
week as to violate another conf
dence by publishing Senator Erkins's
remarks on a,ibond issue for water
ways in this country, which the
Telegram publishes today but not
until released. though the copy was
in this Office few hours before 1t.
reached the State journal office.
What the State journal does.
however, is not a matter OF very,
great moment. But it Is quite sur
prising to Clarksburg that city,
that needs the good offices of a
board of trade so much as Parkers-
burg, unless the chamber of COM
merce now defunct did its work for
all times perfect that there is no
more TO do should abolish such an
essential organization.
Parkersburg must be even greater
than the great metropolitan cities,
for the latter all have their boards
of trade, chambers OF commerce, or
something else that means the same
thing to the public.
The State Journal, however,
shows solicitation for, the future,
of Parkersburg, when It says:
The only commercial organiza-
ton of the kinds left is the Manu-
facturers' Association, and, while
that is hustling organization, made
up Of live members. 1t is too cir
cumscribed in its scope to effect
lively take the place of a chamber
OF commerce or board of trade.
Parkersburg has need of such a per-
manent organization, and 1t is pos
sible that an effort will be made
before long to incorporate one"
A, board of trade, a chamber oil
commerce, is above all other semi
public organizations in that it has
all interests to look after. A board
of trade does not confine itself to
manufacture. "A board OF trade
does not confine itself to the mercan-
tile trade. A board of trade does
not confine itself to coal mining. "A
board Of trade does not confine IT.
self to the oil industry. A board Of
trade does not confine itself to any
special activity. A board of trade
includes in its scope Of activity
every thing that is good for the
community along commercial lines.
II IS proud TACT that CIarksburg
mas not gone the wya of Parkers-
burg. but has board OF trade, and
there is good reason to believe that
Clarksburg viii never fall by the
wayside as Parkersburg has done,
according to the information fur
nished by the State Journal.

Monster PYTHON
ATTACKS WOMAN
SLIPS MUZZLE AND REPEATEDLY
STRIKES WOMAN, INJURING
HER.

NEW YORK, July IAN eighteen
foot python turned on the woman
snake charmer who was fondling him
in Bostwick's arena, Dreamland last
night, and there was an exciting time
among the spectators before the ami
NAL trainers caught him.
A new consignment of snakes had
been received from India, the largest
being great python. for whom an
ingenious keeper had devised a leath-
er muzzle, similar to dogs muzzle.
Matahira, billed as an East Indian
princess and snake charmer, chose
this snake for her act. She wreathed
the great body about her. and struggl-
ed to bring the head to her shoulder.
Suddenly the snake slipped off the
muzzle and struck, swiftly and with
out warning, at the woman's breast.
Mathira fought and threw it off
once, but the python reared itself
above her head, struck down again and
sank its fangs in her bare arms. She
tainted, and the snake struck again
and again, until her white robes were
spattered with blood Jack Bonavita
a lion tanner, who was awaiting his
turn in the arena, ran to her assist
ance, and with several other employees
of the place. fought the snake until
they had rolled him in a blanket and
taken him to a cage. Mathira was
taken to the Dreamland emergency
hospital where her wounds were treat
ed. They were painful, but will not
prove fatal, it is thought.
