licans and democrats, for the last forty years at least have been nothing more than the agency of these high-powered gangsters.
 But the hour has struck and the test is here. The battle is on and the great mass of American Citiz- ems are arising, determined to win back their country and their eco- homie freedom from the money pa. rasites and pests who have bled and broken them.
 ''We ask and invite your support Remember that in this great strug- gle only the dullard accepts the yoke, only the coward and the slave surrenders his liberty, the liberty of himself and his children in ex. change for 8 dole. And remember also that the Union Party will give an opportunity to all to become self-supporting and to make good.
 Twill you do your part, not only to elect William Lemke because he symbolizes at the head of the Union Party movement the Americanism of Washington. Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. He is the candidate for President of the plain Amer ican people. He will be elected president of these United States on November 3, 1886, if you do your part"
 MT. O'Neill's statement in support of Mrs. Ayotte follows:
 O'Neill's Statement
 "A meeting of the Union party was held in Trade Union hall on Monday evening, Oct. 19, for the purpose of electing town com- mittee and to adopt resolution indorsing 8 suitable person for a write-in candidate for congress, that the people who have been de- prived of a candidate in the regu- lar manner, may exercise their right to vote. At this meeting the members unanimously indorsed Mrs. George Ayotte of this city for their write-in candidate.
 You have upon your voting machines and ballots, 8 space known as the independent column where you may write in the name of any qualified person you may choose for elective office. This space, this right, is given to you by the law of your state for the protection of your rights as voter.
 "On Sunday, Nov. 1, at Bucking- ham hall at 2 o'clock in the after noon rally O. the Union party wiN be held. This meeting will af- ford you ar. opportunity to express your confidence in Fr. Coughlin and the magnificent courage he has shown for the safety of the American people. I ask in the name of appreciatiye justice that all ex- service men come to this meeting and come in uniform, because it was you in uniform, for whom Fr. Coughlin fought for the bonus that was rightly yours.
 T, in like manner, ask each and everyone to write in thc name of Lydia E. Ayotte of Waterbury for congress. On Nov. she is entitled to your respect and consideration because of her relentless efforts given to the National Union by both herself and her husband. Be- cause of this honest and efficient service and their faithful coopera- ton in standing by your cause, honor her by writing in her name on election day.
 Respectfully,
 TT. J. DWELL"

The police regulation requiring street
vendors to keep moving was criticized
by Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Po-
lice Court today when he dismissed
charges brought under the regulation
against John Chowlis, So, of 728 Fifth
street, who sells ice cream and fruit.
Chowlis was arrested yesterday at
John Marshall place and c street by
a policeman who said merchants of the
vicinity had complained against the
street hawkers. The regulation pro-
hibits vendors from stopping longer in
one place than necessary to make one
sale.
The regulation seems unfair to
me-" Judge Mattingly said. These
vendors try to make an honest living
and pay for the privilege of doing 50.
This man was doing nothing more
than selling ice cream on a hot day."
In ordering Chowlis' 81 collateral
refunded, the Judge declared the po-
lice would better occupy their time
by arresting the buns who hang
around John Marshall place"
IF I have been stopped by one of
these buns begging for money" Judge
Mattingly said, II have been stopped
by SO in the past few weeks. Yet
none of them has been brought be-
fore me for trial in this court"

Ex-Soldier Regards lOl Years
As Mere Step to Ripe Old A ge
Ciril War Caralryna,
Spends Last Days in
Soldiers Home.

Joseph r. Jones looks on his ap-
preaching 101st birthday as a mere
stepping stone to a ripe old age.
I'm going to live to be 109,"
stoutly declared the oldest resident
at the Soldiers Home, who will cele-
brate his anniversary in the hospital
there September 20. II made that
prediction when I was nine years
old"
Jones Is five years the senior of
Hugh Key McGrath. who celebrated
his birthday at the home August IA.
Unlike the centenarian. McGrath
has no idea how long he'll live, but
he's willing to take on quite few
more years.
I'm pretty we'll satisfied with this
world" he commented. And don't
know about the next"
Both men are regarded with pride
by their companions.
IF I had strength in my knees,
Jones boasted, I'D be as good as
when I was so.
"One eyes bad. but I can read
Wnen i want 10.
Outside Of the eye. he has no
serious organic trouble and his facul-
ties are only slightly impaired by his
age.
Jones recollected that as a cavalry
man he participated in some of the
hottest engagements in the Civil War.
A native of Harrisburg. Pa, he en-
listed in the Union Army in october,
1861, and carries two scars from the
war. One bullet wound at the time
presented a serious threat to his am
bition for longevity, since the shot
glanced the back of his neck just
below the brain.
1t was during the war that he first
learned to smoke, he said. putting
happily away at an aged pipe.
My pipe was great comfort then,
and it's q great comfort now," he
said.
He's not much for liquor, but ad-
mitted. IF I were dry and some beer
were handy, I'd take drink"
Attributing his old age to faith
his advice to others who want to live
long is:
"Obey the Lord Jesus Christ and
follow His commandments.
A "wallopMg" administered by his
mother in his youth, when she caught
him in a falsehood, he said, set his
feet on the straight and narrow path.
Even now each Sunday he attends
regular Sunday services at the hospital
in q wheel chair.
McGrath, who was "rebel" soldier
until the end of the Civil War when
he joined the United States Army for
80 years service in both Cavalry and
Infantry, is interested in politics. and
said his sy,npathies are with the pres
ent administration.

much as preference for an expert

muscular coils. Elastic hinges on their
jaws, and arrangement of their in
ward-curving teeth enable them to
swallow large mammals whole.
Thus a single meal might last q
python for weeks.
The natives of India, Africa and
Australia seem to have an exagger-
ated terror of the big snakes. There
is little evidence to support the theory
that pythons attack men unprovoked.

escape from a python on one of his

however, not the python.

900 in salaries, would be needed to

" VEN a snake charmer might
- overlook the fact that py-
thon has pair of legs.
The limbs are small, and
only appear externally on large py-
thons and boas, behind the center OF

Yet the claw-like legs are clear
proof, biologists say. that the python,
in some remote period of his evolu-

crawling.
This Indian python Is one OF the
most beautiful of snakes. He is about
10 feet long, weighs 10 pounds or So

The python is popular with lady

iron bar from their jail cell win
dow at Greenfield, Ind, yesterday
and escape after beating their
jailer and taking his gun.
Clarence Lee Shaffer, one OF
the trio, was identified as the man
who stopped at Mrs. Haskell Rem
nick's farm home and asked for
money. She refused and he beat
her. She said he fled on foot tow
ard heavy underground along
nearby Wildcat creek.
With Shaffer officers believed
they would find James Dalhover
