Simple Rules For Treatment if You

nave tho Nerve TO Use mem.
The treatment of a rattlesnake
wound resolves itself into the appli-
cation of a few very simple rules. In
the first place, n person wounded by q
snake usually does the very thing he
should not do-tbat is, goes tearing Off
at top speed for the nearest human
habitation, thereby increasing the cir
culation and disseminating the virus
through the system more rapidly. The
man should sit calmly down and bind
his handkerchief around the limb df
it is q limb, break off a stout twig
and insert beneath the handkerchief,
producing a rude t%ourniquet, and twist
until the circulation is effectually shut
off.
With a sharp knife make nm X In
cision over the wound. taking are
to penetrate deeper than the fangs
have done. If he has good teeth and
no canker in his mouth, he may now
suck vigorously upon the wound. 1t
does no good to suck the original
wound. 1t Is quite difficult to get any
virus back through an opening not
greater in caliber than a fine needle.
If all this is done without delay the
chances are that the patient will sui
fer no greater inconvenience from his
experience. If he chances to have
handy a stick of silver nitrate he can
cauterize the wound thoroughly. Fail
ing that, a brand from the fire Will
serve. After a time be may release
his tourniquet somewhat and permit
a portion Of the retained blood to en-
ter the circulation. The system is ca
pable of taking care of a great deal OF
poison if IT Is allowed to flow into the
blood notwithstanding.

London, July 2s-The kings acces.
sion declaration bill, in an amended
form, passed its second reading In the
house of commons by a vote of 410 to
"a. The bill as 1t now stands provides
that the pronouncement against Cath

clause land declare that / am a faith

The Noncomformists showed strong
opposition to the original substituting
clause, which read and declare that
am a faithful member Of the Protest
ant church as by law established In
England and the premier finally ac-
cepted their amendment.
1t is believed that all difficulties
have now been removed and thai the
bill will survive the committee stage
and be accepted by the house of lords
without further trouble.
During the discussion In the com
mons several anti atholic societies
gathered near the parliament and q
number Of mo Popery' placards were
displayed.
The bill passed its first reading June
% by a vote of 1888 to AZ. 1t provided
that the declaration be 30 changed that

ton. The Nonconformist revolt was
successful, and the premier in moving
the second reading accepted the Non
conformist amendment, substituting
the words, Il am a faithful Protest

At once the ultra churchmen were
up In arms and Joined hands with
those who desired the retention OF the
original anti Catholic form Of the

out by both parties In view Of the

Democratic parties was revealed when
candidates for state offices were Sc
lected at the recentaparty conventions,
Independents from all parts Of the
state are in convention here today to
name a third ticket.
Discord was started at both of the
regular party conventions because of
the triumph of what the independents
call machine politics.
Congressman John X. Tener of
Charleroi, former baseball star, was
nominated by the Republicans after he
had been chosen, 1t is claimed, by
Senator Penrose. Mayor Magee Of
Pittsburg In an Intellectual effort to
break the Penrose slate started the
Knox boom, but the secretary of state
decided not to permit the use of his
name at the convention, and Penrose
had his way.
The Democrats nominated Webster
Grim of Doylestown. 1t was claimed
that Larne Monson, the leading Demo
cratic candidate for the gubernatorlal
nomination, retired from the contest
on the eve of the convention after an
understanding had been reached be-
tween Republican and Democratic
party bosses.

New York. December GA decision
of potential, far-reaching effect IN the
cotton bills OF lading cases, rendered
here b. Supreme Court Justice New

involved, including cotton exporting
arms, bankers and representatives of
big foreign mercantile houses.
The case is the first one growing

was apparently not realized by others.
than the parties Immediately involved,
when the case was first decided on
Wednesday last the mercantile World
to-day seems to have awakened to
the possibilities involved in 1t. The
Judgment found by the court was one
for $4,000, against the Hanover Ma
tional Bank, in favor of the cotton ex-
change firm of Springs & Co.
The rise of the litigation was IN the
big cotton bills of lading forgeries per-
petrated last spring in the name OF
two firms, Knight Yancey g. CO., and
Steele Miller & Co., of Decatur. Ala.
Miss. Drafts through New York banks
were negotiated with attached bills Of
lading purporting to show that large
amounts of cotton had been delivered
to railroads in Alabama for shipment
to foreign purchasers.
It subsequently was discovered that
the bills of lading We're forged. 1t was
claimed III the Springs case, just de-
cided that the Endorsement by the
First National Bank, of Decatur Ala,
which first discounted the draft, vested
title in the Hanover National Bank, OF
th.s city, and that when the Hanover
Bank collected the money 1t was con-
sidere1 TO llavo warranted the gen
uineness of the bill OF lading attached
to the draft lading attached to the
draft,
Justice Newburger held that Springs
& Co. made payment to the Hanover
National Bank through the mistaken
belief that the bill OF lading was gen
uine, and hence that even though the
bank was an innocent party, Springs 6
Co. We're entitled TO recover from the
bank when 1t was discovered that the
bill Of lading was forged, Justice
Newburger, in holding with the view
thus outlined, directed Judgment, but

stated, Will be filed at once, should
