tried to drive it out, but in vain. They rieeed a block and tackle, took hltcn on the tail and all the jackies took noio and pulled, but the snake did not budge. This was before the days oI steam. They worked all that day ana next day; then the people of Calcutta began getting up excursion parties' would bring their rugs and tlffin along with them and would come down the liver "to have pull at the snake" After a week the captain got hot and set fire to the wood. When it had burned half an hour they put the fire out and examined the snake. He aver aged little over foot in diameter. He had bitten into an iron girder, brace, or ship knee, several Inches thick. His teeth stuck in the iron and had not been able to withdraw them. J forget his original length, but the null- ing that the sailors and visitors had given him had heightened him by over sixteen feet.
 To return to pilot. When we reached Diamond Harbor, about half way up the river, we stopped. Our steamer drew 26 feet of water and the river was only 24 feet inches deep at high tide. We waited two days for higher tide. Our pilot was out all night taking soundings. The river changed it's course while we were waiting and we had to take an entirely new channel. For some distance above Diamond Har bor the bed of the river is quicksands and if the vessels sticks at all it turns right over and sinks out of sight. A pilot on an average receives ten thou sand dollars year and liberal pen sion at the end of ten years service, but if he ever has mishap he sinks out of sight like the ship and is never beard of again. We went through all right, although we rubbed mud. Of course, the Roogly is muddy and has low banks all the way to Calcutta. Most of the land has been deposited as silt from the river. There are many iute and other mills along the river, but this very unhealthy district, the death rate from malarial fever and cholera being very high.
 Calcutta has about million inhabit- ants. It is a hot, stuffy place. We went to Spence's hotel for two reasons; first, because Lord Roberts stopped there sixty years ago, and, second, be- cause the Clark party had pre-empted all the other hotels. heard that some members of the party died in India. However, I found Spence's hotel very good both as to room and board. Each room had bath room attached. The bath was great tin one, like those we used to bathe babies in but larger. l found one everywhere went in India. A man-servant attached himself to me few hours after my arrival. l paid him 16 cents day and he boarded him. self. He waited on noe at table; ran er- rands, brought me the morning paper, brought ne cold ginger ale, sent my things to the laundry, looked after my clothes and went with me all over the city. He was tough-looking character, but good servant.

SMALL BOY DISAPPOINTED
Local Merchants Were Ex-
pecting Large Crowds.
Because of Receiver Troubles Cir
Gus Has Changed its Route and
Marion Must Wait for Circus Day
Festivities.

1t is practically certainty, that the
big Norris and Rowe circus which was
to have appeared in the city next Mon
day, is not coming. Frank Mayer, To-
cal agent of the Big Four says that
the show has cancelled all orders with
the railroad company which makes 1t
evident that the circus has decided to
cut Marion off its list.
The show was to have been transfer
red over the Big Four from Urbana
by way of Gallon to this city. The
shipping orders were all cancelled late
Friday by Frank Donaldson, receiver
of the circus. 1t is claimed that since
the circus went into the hands of a
receiver that it has changed its route
and will not visit any of the towns
in this part of the state.
The coming of the show has been
thoroughly advertised in this city, and
and many "a small boy will be
disappointed by this announcement.
There was to have been parade in
the streets next Monday morning and
the local merchants have all made
special preparations for "circus day"
Especially the, restaurants have gone to
a great deal of trouble to prepare for
the big crowds which would have surely
assembled in the city next Monday had
tue big show appeared as scheduled
The circus has stopped all of its news

lease on the local show ground located
east of the terminal of the street car
lines

Gus say that Marion will not miss "a
great deal by the nonappearance OF the
three ring show They claim that the
show has been under poor management
for some time and that 1t has been al
lowed to depreciate. The appointment
of receiver for the company last week
in the courts at Newport, Kentucky
was not a surprise to circus men as
they claim that the circus has been 60

the plant of the Marion Steam shovel
company, where Mr.. Busby p. Sweeney,
superintendent of the shops, escorted
them through the most interesting parts

on their long Journey The visitors
enthusiastically praised the business
section of Marion and remarked par
ticularly of the great number of cleo
trio signs which are emblematic OF
aggressive business houses.

about 5000 miles They will pass
through some of the richest farming
sections in the United States.
The crowd was composed of a jolly
lot of fellows and they were prepared
to enjoy themselves and to show all or
their friends a good time. A pretty lit
tie yell composed principally of "Rahs"
was given when the car pulled into
Marion.
