1863 FEET OF
WR|GGL|NG BABIES
Father Tries to Eat Them
Alive; Where?
AT THE NEW YORK ZOO; AND
BUT JUST READ THE STORY.

New York, July 7.-Forty-eight
babies were Matched by Big Annie,
the anaconda in the Bronx Zoo and
each baby measured three and one
half feet in length.
Big Annie is twenty-five feet long
and thirty-six inches in diameter. AS
she turned her tremendous head and
gazed at her family she met the gaze
of the python, which is twenty-four
feet in length and the father of the
forty-eight babies. The python was
furious. He shot out his tongue in
anger and glided across the cage
toward the forty-eight babies. Big
Annie saw him coming, and she
knew he was bent on murder and
hearty meal.
AS she came close she struck and
the python fell back. Then on he
came again and again. Big Annie
was equal to the attack. The baby
snakes squirmed under their moth
er and all about her. The fight was
becoming more and more furious
when a keeper appeared. He yelled
for all the other keepers in the
snake house.
Not a man of them dared enter
the cage. The python was lashing
his tail until the bars of the cage
seemed to bend every time it struck
them. Big Annie was too wise to
lash. One blow from her tail would
have killed a dozen or two of her
offspring. She only raised her head
and warded off the attack of her
husband and the children's Jealous
daddy.
One of the keepers got a prong
through the top of the cage and
jammed it down over the head of
the python. A second prong fastened
his squirming body a few feet down
and gradually he was made pris-
oner. Then Big Annie with a hiss
drew her Shiny self to further end
of the cage and her forty-eight chill
dren followed her.
While the python was held down
partition was arranged between
him and his wife and children, and
later he was persuaded into another
cage and locked up.
Big Annie came here from Trim
idad and was present to New York
from Is'R. Mole. She is one of the
biggest snakes in captivity.

They fell into good hands, Mayor
John Kuhbach showing them all
the points of interest in the town,
such as City Hall, the Court House,
Irving Cliff, the churches, depart
ment stores, ETC., etc.
They were lavish in their praise
of the natural attractions of the
Maple City, and only regretted that
their stay in town was SO short
They were obliged to leave on the
noon train for Lake Lodore to per-
feet arrangements for the seating
of the choirs on the fifth of August.

Democratic Congressman
Dies on Steamer
DEATH DUE TO HEART FAIL
URE; THIS WAS HIS SECOND
TERM

Th1s community was shocked on
wednesday when word was received
from Towanda announcing the sud-
den death of George w. Kipp, Dem
ocratlc' Congressman of the Four
teenth district, which includes the
counties of Bradford, Susuuehanna.
Wyoming and Wayne
Mr. k1pp was enroute to British
columbia to inspect a fine tract of
tlmberland which he had purchased
and while on board the vessel on the
Pacific ocean he was seized with
heart disease and fell dead, Tues
day.
The deceased was born in Green
township, Pike county, March 2S.
1S47. He received his education in
the township schools. Early in life
ne commenced working in his faith
er's saw mill. Later he cut lumber
from tract of land partly in Wayne
ana partly in Lackawanna counties.
He has followed numbering practical
ly all MS life. For sometime he was
engaged in mercantile and -four mil
I'm ing business in this county, the late
Ihomas Madland being his partner.
Mr. hlpp was elected a commits
sioner of Wayne county in 1881 and
served one term. In 1884 he went
to Bradford county, where for five
years he conducted lumber opera-
tions in that county The last oper-
ations were in Jefferson county.
where he spent nine years in the
lumber camp. His home, however.
was kept at Towanda.
The deceased was serving his Sec
ond term in Congress, having been
elected last Fall for the second
time. Mr.. Kipp was elected to Con-
gress in 1906, Mial E. Lilly being
his opponent. In 1908 c. c. Pratt
won out against Mr.. Kipp, while in
1910 the latter was again elected
representative of this Congressional
district. Mr.. Kipp was a very in
dustrious congressman and always
worked in the interest of his con-
stituents. He was always agreeable
and his success in life was due large
ly to being friendly with all classes.
1t is regretted that Mr.. Kipp did not
live out his term as there are now
pending some claims for several PEN
sioners which he was deeply inter-
ested in. Mr.. Kipp did a great deal
for the veterans of the Civil war and
was respected and highly esteemed
| by ALL
MI hipp was luenJlneQ with
number of enterprises. He was
president of the First National Bank
OF Towanda, and had lately been at
the head of his home towns water
works, having recently sold his in
terest to his brother-in-law. He was
also interested in the Jefferson Trac-
tion company; was president of the
Chatham, Wallaceburg and Lake
Erie railway company, besides being
associated in other roads and enter
prises in the state and elsewhere.
One daughter survives, his wife
having died last fall. One brother,
Horace E. Kipp, Milford, also sur
wives.
Mr.. Kipp's remains will be brought
to his home town for interment. He
was a member of number of fra
ternal societies.

DIVIDE HOUSEHOLD GOODS.

On Tuesday Rudolph Weichel,
who had not been living with his wife
the past two weeks, having become
separated FROM her, applied for a
repleyin in order that he might get
the household goods that belonged to
him. The writ was issued by Pro-
thonotary Hanlan and given to Sher-
if Braman who has authority to di-
vide the goods.
Wednesday morning the sheriff,
together with the attorney for the
husband and attorney for the wife,
went to the house occupied by Mrs.
Weichel on River street and where
Mr.. Weichel had been living up to
within the last two weeks.
The distribution of goods claimed
by the husband and also many of
them claimed by the wife occupied
several hours. Every piece of fur
niture in the house necessarily had
to be either admitted by the wife as
belonging to the husband or claim
ed by her. Finally, all excepting
some beds, cut glass, rugs and other
small articles were given to the hus-
band and were taken from the house
by him. Mr.. Weichels belongings
consisted of two wagonloads of fur
niture and they were removed to his
boarding house at the Commercial
Hotel.
Mrs. Weichel has commenced a di-
vorce suit against her husband. She
still resides on River street in a
house that is owned by her.

BROTHER EDITOR LOOKS US
OVER.

F. T. Gelder, editor of the Forest
City News, strayed into the Maple
City last Friday morning, accompan-
led by Benjamin Maxey, mine inspec-
tor of the district comprising Wayne,
Susquehanna and Sullivan counties.
Mr.. Maxey has been a mine fore
man for the Erie railroad for twenty
seven years, and has recently been
appointed mine inspector by Cover
nor John X. Tener, in accordance
with the provisions of new act
passed at the last session of the Leg
islature.
Mr.. Maxey holds the unique dis
tinction of being the only one who
qualified for the position at the re-
cent examination for mine inspector,
and as he has no opposition, his cleo
tion next Fall is assured. He is
obliged however to circulate petitions
in each one of the three counties in
his districts, fifty signatures being
required in each shire.
No, we didn't forget about Editor
Gelder, who gets out bang-up pa
per in a mining town of 5000 inhabi-
that's, 1900 of which are foreigners.
Mr.. Gelder's mother, bye the way,
was a daughter of John Blake, who
had big farm at Dyberry, and was
one of the original Wayne county
settlers.
Mr.. Gelder stated that the news
paper situation in Forest City was
very peculiar one, on account of the
large foreign population, and because
of the fact that three counties join
near there. He didn't think the
" tri-county' newspaper game was
nearly as easy as when there was
only one county to be covered.
Editor Gelder confessed to a Citi-
zen man that 1--WE got a baseball
team that gets stage fright when
they hit Honesdale." Otherwise he
thought Forest City had good
nine.
All this and much more, did Mr..
Gelder, he of the Forest City News,
tell Citizen man, between puffs of
a fragrant Havana, for be it known
that Editor G. is loyal member of
the fourth estate which fears not Car
rie Nations nor DR.. Wiley's pro-
nunciamentos against tobacco. Mr.
Gelder has smoked nine cigars plus,
eaten nine olives, ditto, but-hold-
his wife may get to see this story!

GOOD TIMES COMING.

A spirit of optimism is gaining
ground among the merchants of
Honesdale, nearly all of whom re-
port improved business conditions
and a volume of trade better than at
any time since the recent depression
and which is growing better every
day.
This satisfactory condition of af-
fairs is largely due to the fact that
employment is more easily secured
by skilled mechanic and laborer, ow-
ing to the returning prosperity of the
cut glass factories and other manu-
featuring plants.
Drummers stopping at the various
hotels report that their orders from
Maple City merchants are increasing
with each visit and it is believed by
all who are in a position to know
that before many months Honesdale
will be experiencing as good times
as any in her history.

SHORTAGE Of
APPLES IN FALL

LATE SEASON FOR POTATOES: /:

Well see a general shortage of
apples in this county this Fall" said
Henry Freund, the well-known Main
street wholesale and retail grocer, to
Citizen man, Wednesday.
AS full as the trees were of bios
SONS, for some reason the blossoms
never developed, but dropped off
There will be plenty of pears, and
plums and lots of grapes, but a great
shortage of apples. There will be
plenty of them in adjoining coun-
ties.'
When asked to explain the threa-
tened shortage of Waynes most
profitable fruit crop, Mr.. Freund
said:
Well, it's simply for this reason.
When the blossoms were in the most
central state they were blown off the
trees. The fruit part somehow or
other got destroyed by weather con-
ditions prevailing at the time the
trees were in full bloom. Persons
expected and looked for a large
crop.
There'll hardly be half crop of
peaches this year. There are some
peaches raised in this county. One
year more will bring us to where we
will produce thousands of baskets
One large orchard, E. E. Avery's,
near Beachlake, now in it's second
year, will produce thousands of bas-
kets. They are mostly Albertas."
Eggs are scarce and high also, ac-
cording to Mr.. Freund. The mar
ket price," he said, is about 26
cents. We are not getting many
either. There is scarcity this sea-
son. The hens are not laying.
There is no native or home
grown corn in the market yet. 1t
had ought to be in too. Another
weeks time will bring it in. There
is quite a number of people that put
in some early green corn. It'll prob
ably be in market in about a week.
1t will probably cost about 20 to 25
cents a dozen, then it'll go down
to II and Is cents. ...

son for potatoes. There are no home

LARGE RATTLEsNAKE CAUGHT.

The large seven-foot rattlesnake
which nearly frightened Jacob Smith
to death at Swamp Brook few
days ago was dispatched by Trap
per Albert Kittner, Lewis Mosher
and M. Conklin on Wednesday. The
snake has been the terror of the
neighborhood and people in the vi
cinity were afraid to venture out of
their homes owing to it's presence
along the roadside. But on We'd
nesday Trapper Kittner and two
assistants decided that the snake
had held the good people of that
place in suspense long enough and
that the time was at hand when the
reptile must die. The snake was
spied and with a careful throw of a
stone by Mr.. Kittner the head of
the snake was crushed to the
ground, killing it instantly. A
measurement of the rattler was
made and it lacked just nine inches
of being seven feet. The snakes
stomach contained a half-grown rab-
bit. Its skin is preserved and Mr..
Kittner hopes to tan it and convert
it into a vest.
A few days ago Trapper Kittner
was berrying in the woods near
Swamp Brook when strange noise,
similar to that of a cat, was heard
Looking in the direction he saw a
large wild cat with three kittens.
He proposes setting trap to catch
the parent cats and then get the kit
tens, which he hopes to sell to par
ties in New York,

A SAMPLE OF DEMOCRATIC
WISDOM"

Part of colloquy between Repre-
sentative Hill, Connecticut, and
Sims of Tennessee, which occurred
in the House of Representatives on
May 3, during the progress of the
debate upon the Farmers Free List
Bill, serves to show how much wis
dom the Democrats are bringing to
bear upon the tariff question at this
time. After ascertaining that Mr..
Sims, who is Democrat, does not
know much about the bill, the dis
cussion took this turn:
Mr.. Sims: To give the gentleman
an honest answer, l will say that L
have not studied the bill.
Mr.. Hill: But the gentleman is
going to vote for 1T.
Mr.. Sims: Yes.
Mr. Hill: The gentleman is going
to vote for it anyway?
Mr.. Sims: Yes.
Mr.. HILL Whether it has any ef-
feet on the revenue or not?
Mr.. Sims: Yes.
Mr.. Hill: / would like to ask the
gentleman whether this bill is a
bill for Tariff for Revenue or Tar
iff for Protection or a Tariff for Free
Trade?
Mr.. Sims: The present bill? Why,
on it's face it is a Free Trade bill as
far as it goes.
And it is in the light of this sort
of Democratic wisdom that the Tar
iff is to be ripped to pieces by the
House ESQ far as the House can do
it, and the business interests of the
country kept in a useless turmoil for
months.-Binghamto Republican.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. c.,

AS the extra session nears an end
the people of the country are inter-
ested in the record made by the
Democratic House as indicating what
the party would do if in complete
control of the Government. Two
things stand out very conspicuously
the Democratic tariff program and
the pretended economy but actual
extravaganza and waste of public
funds.
The Democratic tariff program so
far as it has gone and so far as can
be anticipated from the utterances
of leaders, is evidently based upon
the statement of Representative I'm
derwood, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, who declared
from the floor of the House that
" the Democratic party does not be-
lieve that any interest in this coun-
try is entitled primarily to the fos-
tering care of the Government of the
United States" and it may be added
that this declaration brought rous-
ing applause from the Democratic
