BLACKSMAkE FEEDS ON Money
HOLDS UP AND ROBS CHILDREN
GOING TO STORE. .
Father Not Only Gets Back His Two
Quarters, But $4.42 for Short
Time Loan.

NEW YORK, November S.-Edward
Sonstrom, a truthful, sober and indus
trious person, killed a blacksnake five
feet long yesterday near the bridge over
Toney brook at Bay street, Montclair.
n. ]. The location is fixed with par
ticularity because it is still there an
enduring proof of the remarkable facts
that follow.
The Sonstroms live near the bridge.
Mrs. Sonstrom sent her two little girls
to a delicatessen store to buy things
for the Sunday dinner. The children
had just returned from Sunday school.
Mary is seven years old, Alice five.
Her mamma gave Mary two silver quar-
tiers.
The children were crossing the brook
when they came upon the blacksnake,
coiled as if to spring at them. To their
terrified eyes, ii looked as big as an
anaconda. Mary, In her fright, dropped
the quarters, and. with Alice, fed,
screaming.
Saw Him Swallow Them.
Mary dared to look over her shoulder
to see If the snake was chasing them.
To her amazement, she saw the snake
swallow the coins, then coil up In the
Dsun as il to digest them at leisure.
The girls went home and told their
papa and mamma. Sonstrom, seizing a
club. ran to the bridge. The snake was
still there and showed fight, but Son.
strom killed 1t. He took the reptile
home with the hope of recovering the
two quarters He did SO, with interest.
In fact, before he got through with the
snake he felt like a usurer, a mine dis
coverer or a pank robber.
In the provident and thrifty snakes
midst were one half dollar, eleven quar-
tiers. nine dimes, fifteen nickels and two
cents.
More remarkable still. the coins were
stacked SO as to be accommodated to
the diminishing caliber of the snakes
purse. That is, the half dollar was
nearest to the mouth of the purse. then
the quarters, and so on. the dimes last.
although a dime is nearly as large In
circumference as cent.
Mr.. Sonstrom has the snake. s4.92 i'm
change and the bridge remains in its
place.

MEN OUT OF A JOB.
John Eads How Will Tell Of Plans to
Help Unemployed.

subject of talk by John Eads How OF

millionaire hobo" at the Central Union
Mission. 3D. Louisiana avenue, at Gas
o'clock this evening. He will describe
plans Of the International Brotherhood
Welfare Association to ameliorate the
condition Of the unemployed throughout
the United States. Hot coffee and sand
witches will be served to his auditors
Mr.. How will address the Single Tax
League of the Peoples Church at s

more than a million unemployed men in
this country, and he proposes spending
his last dollar, more than 81 900, 900, in an
effort to better their condition. As to the
liability for WORKOUT employees, Mr. How
said:
THE chief project We have on hand
now is to fix liability on the employers
for the wearing out Of the employed men
and women. Human beings wear out the
same as machines. When machinery
wears out II Is replaced with money kept
separate for replacing 1t. AS the state
and city are the largest employers In
this country. our plan is to try to have
a fund set aside annually for the purpose
Of taking care of the men and women

for the government. II this project Is
carried through, and the state and city

The Districts Half.

The District. of course, must pay one
half of the cost of these extraordinary
projects of improvement. which aggre-
gate $17,136, 962.S2 or $s.56S. 49, as the
Districts half. AS the estimated amount
that will be due from the District to the
national Treasury June 80 next on ac-
count of advances by the national Treas
ury is $4.1S4. 262.42. 1t is apparent that
the District will have paid more than
half Of the amount of the advances. and
this has been done by cutting the ap-
preparations for current expenditures. II
the amount required by the District on
this extraordinary account had not been
paid so rapidly the municipal services
could have been greatly benefited by in
creased appropriations for current ex-
penditures. including such items as the
much-needed increase in the police force,
street and road improvement and clean
ing. additional street and alley lighting.
a larger force and increased facilities for
the health department, additional play
grounds, bathing and other similar nee
essary improvements. Congress, the SUI
preme authority. has absolute control in
authorizing extraordinary projects of i'm
provement and In appropriating for the
payment Of their cost. The District Of
Columbia asks only that 1t shall be al
lowed to pay its One-half in such q way
as shall not interfere with its current
needs. while repaying the Treasury at q
reasonable rate Of speed"

Deaths Under Anesthetics.
From the London Times.

From the LOnuOn 1imes.
The melancholy death under an anes-
thetic Of the Hon. 7. A. Powys.' the
young heir and only son of Lord Lilford.
in the course Of an operation not gen.
orally associated with any idea of dan
ger. Is an event which will not only call
forth universal sympathy with his family.
but will also direct public attention to
the dangers attendant upon the use Of
anesthetics in general. and upon the pre-
cautions necessary in order to reduce
these dangers to a minimum.
The occasional occurrence Of fatal con-
sequences from the administration of
chloroform or OF ether. however much
should not be permitted to divert atten-
ton from the enormous number OF cases
in which these agents are administered
without Ill effects OF any kind, or from
the enormous number I'm which they save
life by permitting the performance Of
operations which IT would be impossible
to accomplish without their aid. Stats
tics on the subject are perhaps not en-
tirely trustworthy. but 1t may be safely
said that in round numbers. there are
1900 successful administrations Of anes-
thetics for every death attributable to
them; and II is only the immense number
of operations which they have rendered
possible and successful that explains the
comparatively very small number OF fatal
accidents which have occurred in a given
hospital or in a given time. Notwith-

Fifty Years Of American Gold.
EHnDn he kAU

FROM the new 1Ork WOEl0.
Amid the pageantry which nowadays
makes historical memories more vivid
Stockton. Cal. has begun the celebration
Of fifty years of California gold. Not
five years had passed since great senator's
were arguing in Washington for the
abandonment to England of part Of our
Pacific coast as worthless. when the dis
covery of gold at Suffers Mill turned the
worlds attention to California, and from
every nation a flood of energetic men
poured in upon it, A Californian popu-
lation OF less than $1,000 In 1S49 had
grown to more than 100000 in 1861, when
the civil war broke. and this swift peo-
ping Of the farthest west vas not with
out effect upon the fortunes of the war.
The discoery Of gold FASTENED the ex-
termination Of the bison and the tanning
Of the Indians. 1t FASTENED by many
years the building Of the Pacific railways.
There 10 not a state In the Union that Is
not more populous and prosperous for the
discovery. From the breaking up Of the
Roman empire and the curbing of the
Byzantine power by the Turks down to
1892 the worlds stock Of precious metals
probably decreased. Economically that
meant low prices for goods and labor
duced roughly three billions in gold. The
next four decades produced more than the
preceding four centuries had done. The
total in those forty years was nearly five
billions. Since 1890 another five billions
has been produced. the United States
doubling its annual yield Of twenty years
ago and South Africa greatly aiding
The production Of silver has likewise in.
creased. though not in equal ratio. This
vast growth Of the worlds bullion in
twenty years has much to do with the
worldwide phenomenon OF rising prices.

Joy Of Life.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The Joy Of life Is the Joy Of work well
done. Husbands love their wives. but
oh. their work! Wives. notable for house.
keeping, for wise motherhood. for the
particular kind of social helpfulnesS in
which women SO shine. burn incense Of
affection to their lords yet have constant
delight in their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work from
the start which gets the warmth Of their
heart as much as their strength of mus
Gle and activity Of brain. But there are
far too many who snatch at any employ
ment and find themselves condemned to
It. They sweat and groan and SO add
to their unhappiness They butt their
heads against stone walls and then Won
der at the bruises.
Let's preach q bit. II the work Is not
to ones first liking try to make it SO.
Complaining will do no good; sulking en-
bitters. Put the best that's In you in
the job. and it's dollars to doughnuts that
the job will pay you back. 1t will grow
easier and more agreeable. In time a
genuine liking for it may be developed.
And then will come the best of happi-
ness.

Protest Against New Woman.

From the New York Press.
DR.. Arabella Kenealy OF the Royal Col
lege of Physicians, Dublin. has taken up
the cudgels in earnest against the TWEEN
tieth century woman. Besides asserting
that athletics are making women ugly
she says that modern life Is robbing the
world of good mothers. She attaches the
utmost Importance to this. on the theory
that the transmission of type Is from
father to daughter. Therefore, she rea-
sons, the race is what its mothers are.
'The mothers Of the worlds great scien-
fists" writes DIR. Kenealy. "have been
women characterized by a passionate love
for truth. Is ii greater to have been
Newton and evolve out of the genius of
the brain the conception of the law of
gravitation, or to have been the mother
of Newton, who evolved out Of her genius
of motherhood and her passionate ideal
of truth a child whose faculties were so
nobly high? Comparisons being odious,
II is sufficient to realize that in the great
vital differences between men and women
each has its appointed purpose. and to
realize also that the modern trend which
seeks by similarity of education and avo-
cation to train out these vital and essen
tial differences means disaster to the

Vitality Of United States.

The progress Of medical men, Of health
boards and Of similar agencies for the
conservation Of national vitality Is neces-
sarily slow. but we are assured that
with united effort the gains that now
require a century or more could be OBJ
tanned in a generation. The old impress
sion that there Is an iron law Of NOR
tally proves to be a myth. Wherever
medical and sanitary science has been
developed into its highest state of ef-
ficiency. there man lives longest and is
freest from sickness while he lives. India
most reckless of nations as regards clean
illness and carefulness in health and n.y.
giene. is stationary in its average dura-
ton Of life. which is less than twenty
1--WE years. In Sweden the average is
nifty years. Europe has shown con-
siderable gains. with Germany the most
shining mark in advance. Massachusetts,
has set a fair example to the rest of the
United States by lengthenng life at the
rate Of about one-half that OF Germany's
gain.
The good already accomplished by the
strict Application of sanitary science and
preventive medicine should be an incen-
tive for more concerted effort. 1t is
evident that human life can be both
heightened and strengthened.

A VERSATILE RAKE.
Teeth Can Be Arranged in Different
Positions and Handle Moves.

A remarkable rake has recently been
designed by a New Jersey man. The
teeth can be adjusted to most any angle
or distance from each other. and the
handle can be 50 moved as to convert the
implement from a rake into a pitchfork.
In the first place the handle is attached
to the head by a pivot pin with a nut,
which keeps it tight in whatever position
it is desired. The head of the rake con-
sists Of a framework into which the
pieces holding the teeth are adjusted by

means Of screw parts. In this way the
teeth may be run close together so as to
form an ordinary rake. or they may be
adjusted with enough space between to
allow the rake to be drawn over a row
of plants with tine arched portion of the
head straddling the plants and saving
them from injury. II desired the teeth
can be adjusted so that they point in
opposite directions or in any peculiar
combination of positions that emergencies
may demand.

Beavers are very Industrious up in
