Sunday Haps nnd Mishaps Blng hnmton Man's Patent Door Knob. Brief Bits of News from Susque hanna Suburbs All About tho Kail and Tie A Pow Side Lights. Bpeclnl Correspondence to Tho Tribune. Susquehanna, Sept. 8. Farmer Hill Brannlng's pet rattlesnake Is tho chief curiosity of tho Deep Hollow slaBhln'. Last sprint;, while Brannlnsr was blasting blue stone on the mountain, a big rattlesnake was blown high In tho air by the discharge of powder. The rattler was badly Injured, but Brannlng took It borne, placed It care fully in a box of cotton, and was glad to see It gradually recover. "When tho Btago of convalescence was reached, the reptile crawled about tho door Sjard, and in a few weeks ventured to come Into tho home. It was dubbed "Pete," nnd It became a household pet. The snake appeared to bo grateful for all the kindness and caro bestowed upon it, and In many ways tried to re pay Its benefactors. It will amuse tho baby for hours at a time by shaking Its rattles and twist Itself In fantastic forms to make tho llttlo one laugh. One day In July a big blacksnako crawled Into the bouse nnd wns about to attack the baby In the cradle, when "Pete" came quickly to the rescue, and nfter a Bovero struggle succeeded In killing the Intruder. Occasionally "Pete" will crawl into tho cradle, cod dle down close to the baby nnd dozo for hours. It has killed all tho rats nnd mice on tho premises, and It Is a terror to tramps and peddlers. A few nights ago, Farmer Brannlng and hl3 wife were awakened by tho furious rattling of tho snake, which had crawled upon tho bed nnd was terribly excited. Brannlng Immediately de scended the stairs nnd discovered that a barrel of rubbish had caught flro and threatened to destroy tho house. "Pete" had discovered the flames nnd given tho alarm. Brannlng has been offered a good stiff price for his pet, but it is not for sale. PSALMUEL AS A FLOATER. Easily the most prominent feature In tho recent "Peace Day" parade In Montrose was Editor Psalmucl More, of tho Great Bend Plain-Dealer, on a float, representing the "Signing of tho Protocol." Psalmuel had quite a tussle with tho committee in charge of tho parade. At first be wanted to don a bustle and some store hair and repre sent "Columbia," but the commltteo wns obdurato and refused point blank. Then lie said he was willing to repre sent either "Samson Carrying Away the Gates," "Ajax Defying tho Light ning." "Columbus Discovering Great Bend," "Rlenzl Addressing the Rum ones," or almost any old thing. Tho hnrd-hearted committee said if ho would find a partner they might poso as "Signing of the Protocol." Then the commltte rigged him up with a pen about four feet long and told him to look wise and hang to tho wagon for dear life. Ho was the cynosure of all eyes, and he kept the crowd guessing what he represented. Some are guess ing yet. Quito a number of people thought he was Admiral Cervera.whllo an old lady from Rush was willing to bet a pair of socks that he was one of the Plgrim fathers. Ho created more excitement than a living Hon let loose In the streets. It required the com bined efforts of sixteen" constables to keep tho crowd from upsetting the float. In the lurid language of the circus poster, tho spectacle was worth going miles to see. It was a glorious day for Psalmuel! SUNDAY HAPS AND MISHAPS. Tho Village Improvement society Is preparing to Improve. It never will dlo for lack of something to do. In Lanesboro, on Monday night, a barn belonging to Mrs. J. Van Horn was destroyed by fire, together with the contents. The origin of fire is un known. Insurance, $215. A horse belonging to George Ranlett nnd a buggy belonging to Mr. Grifllths were stolen from a barn In Brushvillo on Monday night. They were recovered on Tuesday at Clark's Green. A horse was stolen In Unlondale on Sunday night. The Lewis family reunion will bo held on Saturday In Riverside Park, Lanesboro. Miss Annie Kennedy, of tho Oakland Side, is gradually recovering from he" self-inflicted Injuries. On account of Labor Day, tho Erie Phops were closed on Monday. The schools of this place reopened on Monday, with a large attendance. Hon. nnd Mrs. Amos J. Cummlngs, of New York, who have been summer ing at Columbian Grove, have returned home. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. The Great Bend-Hnllstead gold seek ers returned from the Klondike coun try, rich In experience! Tho shades of evening dally fall ear lier over the earth, nn unmistakable evidence that summer Is departing. Many people in this world are busy gathering together a handful of thorns to sit upon. The life mission of a black ant Is not fully accomplished until It has crawled down a girl's back at a picnic. Mr. Lauder, a Blnghamton man, has invented a door latch that does away with the door knob. Blnghamton never will be satisfied until one of her citiz ens invents a keyhole that doesn't re quire a key. It has been remarked that 'a girl never marries her Ideal." One reason Is that she seldom finds him, and when sho does she doesn't like him. Another reason Is the material man Is so dread fully unlike the one of her imagination. If women have such Influence to make great men out of their husbands, why don't they make grent mep out of their brothers and fathers? There is plenty of rough material lying around. IN ALL SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY D. W. Wright, of Lenox, takes time by the front horn und announces that next year he will bo a Republican can- dldato for sheriff. And there nro others, The Tunklmnnock, Nicholson and Lanesboro railroad project appears n be about as dead as Socrates' great grandmother. Montrose Is Importuning the govern- Wakefulness MarsM's Acid Phosphate taken before rollrlna quiets the nerves u uuusss roircaninn sienp, riMnnUotinU-te. ahun Subttllul... ment to send homo her soldier boys. And why not? Having voted for electric lights, Great Bend will soon pass frnm tho material darkness Into the glorious light, Tho moral darknesa will remain unchanged. Thomson will on Saturday witness a presentation of "Undo Tom's Cabin" for tho ilrst time? A Susquehanna county young man, who was about to dlo, recently, willed his bothrothed to his best friend, a young ninn of tho neighborhood. The young lady was satisfied with the ar rangement, and there's happiness on tho cross roads. A Susquehanna county widow of 78 recently wedded a young man of G4. His parents think seriously of having her arrested for kidnapping. In Great Bend, some wags put a fish worm Into a gloss of gin In a saloon. A young man, who was about to drink tho gin, saw tho worm, imagined that he had tho Jams-Jams, gave a wnr whoop and fled from the tilncc. He forthwith signed tho pledge, and today ho drinks nothing except hard elder. RAILROAD PICKUP. Erie Operator James "White has tem porarily assumed tho management of tho Cnnawacta Homo. When tho Jefferson Park and Fiddle Lake railway is built, next summer, the name of Fiddle Lako will bo changed to Violin Beach. Tho prospec tive town will be dubbed Vlollnhurst. It Is probablo that next year the conductors' picnic will bo held nt Jef ferson park instead of nt Poyntclle. If we only had a monument to mark the spot where the first locomotive was run It would bo nn object of great In terest to strangers. Honesdale Inde pendent. Too true, my son, too truol And yet If you only had a track upon which trains could run up from the ramshackle station away out In Texas township to somewhere In the business part of the borough, strangers would be a mighty sight more Interested. Business on tho Erie In August Bhowcd a healthy Increase over tho previous month, and tho prospects are good for a tine run of freight this fall. SOME SIDE LIGHTS. Tho burning question of tho hour will soon bo the price of conl. Tho shortest day In the year Is pay dav. The Philadelphia Press recently had a very unkind cut of our popular townsman, C. Fred Wright, the Repub lican candidate for congress. Mr. Wright has not yet decided to bring an action for damages. Edward Dunkcr Is touring this sec tion on a wheel, making a lino collec tion of bags. Ho should tackle some of tho second-class boarding houses and third-class hotels. Hallstcad is enjoying a real hot newspaper war over the right of wheel men to use tho sidewalks. The ques tion Is being discussed in pulpits and prayer meetings also, and the hustling little borough Is shaken from center to circumference. And the end Is not yet. Mrs. David Barker, of Franklin town ship, while cutting some shavings with a draw-knlfc, three weeks ago, cut a gash in her knee cap. Blood poisoning ensued, and she died a few days since. Tho second nnnual meeting of tho Susquehanna County Teachers' asso ciation will bo held In Harford, Sept. 10-17. In Brooklyn, this county, a few days since, Foster Tripp, aged 12 years, while black-berrying, was attacked by a blacksnako. Tho reptile throw the boy to the ground, but the little fellow eventually escaped, and he will live to wrestle with a snake some other day. Whitney. . - . IN THE PLAY HOUSES. "Natural Gas." Pretty girls, lovely costumes, fine danc ing and excellent singing, combined with clever comedians In bright comedy work and high-class specialties brisk In action, witty conversation, funny burlesque and clevor hits at tho popular fads of tho day are said to compriso tho attractlvo pro gramme presented this season by Edward Girard and his excellent company In Don nelly & Glrard's "Natural Gas."

Concerning tho Kennedy Players who will bo at tho Academy of Music all next week In a repertoire of high class dramas tho Troy Budget says: "The Kennedy liayors opened tho season at tho Grls. wold opera houso last week. This com pany of popular players drew good houses all tho week, notwithstanding tha weather was extremely hot. John J. Kennedy was as funny as ever, and ho was greeted with applause every tlmo ho appeared. Tho company has been changed somo since its last appearance here. Miss Ncllio K nucdy, tho charming daughter of J. J. Kennedy, is seen this season in leading roles. Alfred Hastings, a clever actor, who was with tho Margaret Math er company, plays male leads, und Is a good acquisition to tho company. .Mario Dale appears In f-peolaltles, us well as In comedy parts. William II. Dnnvcrs. ono of tho old-tlmo actors. Is still with tho company, and Is seen In old-man charac ters. Miss May Marshall nnd Miss Jbnnlo Cllno arc clever, and Harry Kennedy hus wonderfully Improved since his last ap pearance here." BASE BALL. NATIONAL LEAOUE. Boston, S; New York, 0.

O.-Thcro wns further drastic liquidation In tho stock market toduy at an expenso to prices of stocks of botwecn (t nnd J2 per sharo In a great many cases. Disappointment over the fixing or tho St. Paul dividend nt only i',i per cent, continued tho prevailing Inllu tnco and no attention was paid to fo vorablo developments or to tho Indica tions of an easier condition In money. Thcro was a short lived period of firm ncss to prices early In tho day on a do mand to cover somo of tho shorts put out yesterday, but tho advance In prlcej was mot by continued heavy offerings and by noon tho movement to throw over stocks wus In full forco usnln and prices wcro tumbling throughout tho list. Early gains In a fow special cases wero almost completely wiped out. Tho distinctly easier tono of money In tho afternoon brought llttlo recovery In prices aside from that duo to covering by tho room traders. Tho total sales wero 570,000 shares.

Kelil, consul at Stettin, tells why thi German farmer Is prosperous despite tha fuel Hint he bus poorer hind and less land thun his American brother nnd no labor-saving machinery worth tho mention. Co-operation Is the secret of his success. Ho has co-operative credit banks, co-operallvo dairies, co-opcratlvo steam plows and co-operation In drainage und Irrigation, in both of w hlch ho ts an expert. Ho is also an Intensive farmer, and yets out of tho ground pretty much everything of which It is capable. Farm laborers get 33 cents a day, with a small houhe to live In nnd a half-acre of land to cultivate for their own utc. In harvest seasons they get 50 cents a day. How He Escaped. Sparc Moments. Thcro Is a girl In London who tells this story on herself. She Is a zealous mem. ber of tho Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Seeing In tho street one duy a cab driver cruelly maltreating his horse, sho went up to him, nnd show ing her badge, demanded his number. "Lor, miss." said tho man, In a conde scending voice, nnd with a ccmmlserntlng smile, "ir I wuz ter tell yer, It would go out of thut pretty head afore ycr go to the next corner." Then ho drovo on, leaving the girl torn between conflicting cmotlonB, anger nnd tho desire to laugh. Heal Estate. Wallace "Wo don't want Hawaii. Wo wnnt no heathen land."
