The rustic Of a paper, the scratch Of
pen or the sigh of an indolent pupil
IS sunicient to cause an epidemic Of
mysteries at Morningside College.
Teachers eve wastepaper baskets with
suspicion, students hurry past dark
corners, and even the janitor peeks
behind radiators and doors with an
anxious air. The cause Of the general
upheaval in the college population is
the loss Of a poisonous snake which
was willed to the biology department
several days ago. The snake, one Of
South American variety. was discov-
cred in q bunch Of bananas shipped to
the Haley Neeley Company by Harold
Cobb. a former Morningside student,
and turned over to Professor Stephens,
of the department Of biology. An ex-
animation OF the reptile disclosed
poison glands or sacs above each eye,
and, altho Its species had as yet been
Undetermined, It was known to be one
Of a poisonous nature. The reptile had
been kept in box fitted up for the
purpose, in the biology laboratory, on
the tsecond floor Of the main building.
When Professor HiInmel. biology as
sistant, went to pay the ''pet" his regu-
lar visit Saturday morning, he was
staggered by the fact that It was not
in the box. A hasty examination of
the laboratory failed e produce
further evidence, and y general warn
ing was sent out over the school for
the students to keep on the lookout for
the unwelcome guest. 1t is expected
that a bounty will be placed upon its
hide by the college authorities.

meath the car they found Curley's body,
severed at the waist, three of the cars
having passed over him.
There had been no cutlery and there
was no evidence to indicate how Cur
ley had fallen beneath the cars. Be-
cause the body was found at a point
opposite the end of a string of mail
cars on an adjoining track, Coroner
King who investigated the death, held
it possible that Curley might have
been on his way to work for l.. Par
kin, night inspector, and have stepped
from behind the mail cars directly in
front of the moving train. But the To-
connective was moving slowly and Cur
ley would have been almost certain to
have given an cutlery when struck. 1t
is also possible that the man was
asleep on the track, althO there is no
evidence to substantate this fact. save
that his body is without bruises such
as might have been caused thru the

cided, however, that there win be no

decided to postpone consideration OF
the problem until tomorrow. They
had been scheduled to take up the
task of details of the series at meet
ings today. Closeness Of the National

pone the meeting.
No member of the national commits
sion would confirm the rupor that
the formality of tossing a coin would
be dispensed with in deciding which
city would have the opening game
of the series if Philadelphia wins the
National league pennant.
Two schedules probably will be ar
ranged. one providing for Brooklyn
victory in the close National league
finish, and the other for Philadelphia.
Chairman Hermann announced the
postponement on the belief that Ban
