A gentleman who was walking on a country 10ad on a hot summer day heard a rustling in the dry leaves, and, going into the thicket, found a king snake and & rattlesnake engaged in a Sullivan. Ryan fight-to-the-death slugging match. The rattler was the bigger, but the king had the advantage in length and suppleness. The king had his jaws fastened like a vise at the balk of the rattler's head and was coiled around the rattler's body. The king was trying to squeeze his antagonist to death, and it goes without saying that the rattler was struggling desperately to avoid his fate. It was about noon, and the spectator, who wanted his dinner as well as to see the result of the battle, got a pole, and, thrusting it between the entangled bodles of the serpents, carried them to his home, not-less than half a mile dis- tant. ‘He put them in the bottom of an empty flour barrel and the contest con- tinuett. The kine would become ex. hausted every few minutes and his cojls would relax. But he never loosened hig jaws. Both snakes would then lie pant- ng and resting. But when the king would recover his breath and strength in some degree he would begin totighten his folds again and the conflict began anew. And it continued thus until 10 or 11 o'clock that night, when the king re- taxed his jaws and withdrew. His foe was dead. The victor lay stretched out at his ease for a considerable time and then began to lick the rattler’s body. Be- ginning at the head he plastered the rough coat down evey to the end of the tail. Then, going back to the head, he began the swallowing process. To tho observers this seemed a preposterous and hopelees job, for the rattler was ot less than one-fourth, if fot one- third, the larger of the iwg. The fam- z Aly lingered into the small hours of the nig ht watching, and when they went to bed at least half of the rattler was inside the king. Next morning there was only one gerpent in the barrel, but he was as big as the two had been the day before. And the king seemed as dead as the rattler. It was many days before he moved. When he showed signs of life and acted as if he might want to step down and get a drink, the barrel wag gently turned down and he crawled of into a big patch of hog weeds, Cash and Credit. = An enterprising grocer in the town of Santa Clara, Cal., has adopted an original method of trade.

Ei IN NEW YORE HARBOR. No Cases Reported in The United States. The Plague Ipcreasing at Hamburg. Fire Island Forcibly Resists the Land; ing of Cabin Passengers. "The cholera situation atthe New York quarantine is no doubt very grave. Not only are new cases breaking out every day among the steerage pissengers of the ill- fated. Normania and Rugia, the former of whom are on Hoffman island, but it has now settled among the crew of the big ex- press steamer, whoare on board, If any- thing can be added to the horror of the situation, it is the fact that the cabin passengers who have been free from any sign of the disease are still kept on the steamer like ratsin a trap with cholera raging alongside of them, *‘No ship to put them on, no place where I can land them,” says the New York health officer, while the agents, whose place it is to see the passengers cared for, say nothing. Dr. Jenkins has made strenuous exertions to obtain a place to put the well passengers, but up to the present he has been unsuccessful. Cighty-four persons have now been carried off by cholera on ships sailing tothe New York port or in the hospitals on Swinburne Island. This is the record up to Monday : Deaths | Total Total at S¢g. in Port. Deaths, Sick, Cases.

At 1:15 Saturday morning Dr. Jenkins the New York quarantined health officer, received the followin from Swinburn Islandover the cable, signed by Dr. Byron: ‘Have visited the Scandia this evening and find the following: Total number of passengers 1,086, cabin 28, steerage 981, crew 77. On the voyage there were 32 deaths, of which there were 29 in steerage, one in cabin and two among the crew. I am now starting in our tug, Crystal Water, to transfer seven cases stricken with the lague to the hospital here on Swinburne sland. . The Scandia sailed frofa Hamburg on August 25. It has been variously reported that she had about 900 steerage passengers and it was expected that she would be the final coup for the plague ridden Hamburg- American Company. As the report to- night shows, the worst fears are more than realized. No such mortality, as that which Captain Kopif has been compel ed to report, has heretofore been recorded during the present reign of the plague, he Hamburg-American Company now has six ships under the ban of the health officers, the Moravia, Rugia, Normaunia, ‘Wieland. Stubbenhuk and the Scandia. THE SHIPS IN QUARANTINE. In addition to the steamer Britannic, which is lying in upper quarantine with 215 cabin and 714 steeraze passengers, the fol- lowing ships are lying in upper quaran- tine: Joseph John, Obdam, Dubbodam, Stubbenhuk and Diamont, the latter an oil tank steamer. The following are at the lower quarantine: Moravia, Norm annia, Rugia, Wyoming and Wieland. The Wietand was sent to Upper Quar- antine to-morrow, as there is no indication of cholera among the passengers, % The Spree has been released from quaran- ine. ; CHOLERA DISAPPEARING IN PERSIA. The mortality from cholera at Teberan, Persia now averages 12 daily, against 290 a week ago. © ft is officially stated that there has not been a case of cholere in all of Italy, JERSRY'S COAST IS FORTIFIED. The New Jersey State Board of Health decided to appoint” a patrol on the coast from cholera wreckage. Some debris from an infected steamer was recently found, and this lead to the formation of the patrol. They will burn all the wreckage and debris found on the coast. A SHIP QUARANTINED IN SAN FRANCISCO. The American ship Frank Pendelton, Captain Nichols, arrived at San Francisco from Calcutta. The Captain reported that two of his men had dies four months ago. After the symptoms had been described to Dr. Lawler, the quarantine officer, he con- cluded that the men had succumbed to cholera and immediately ordered the ship into quarantine. : LONDON IS NOT INFECTED. Consul General John C. New, in an inter- view, expressed his confident belief that London 1s not a cholera infected port. NEW YORK CITY STILL FREE. The New York board of health bulletin, published Tuesday, says there are no cases of cholera in that city. ” TIGHTENING THE CORDON. General Kimball, of the life saving ser- vice, sent the following telegram to all keepers.of that ser®ice in the United States: Irdformation has been received of efforts to evade Success of all Such attempts witiin your province, This will result in the establishment of a most effective cordon at all points. CHOLERA HAS NOT YET LANDED. THE GOVERNMENT SPARING NO EFFORT TO KEEP OUT THE PLAGUE. “Not a single case of cholera exists within the boundaries of the United States, as. far as Government officials at Washington are advised, and if our efforts avail,” said Act- ing Secretary Spaulding, ‘not a case will oceur in our borders. Every possible effort is being put forth and every suggestion re- ceives respectful consideration.’ Among the cholera dispatches received at she ''reasury Department ‘l'uesday are the following forwarded by Secretary Foster, of the State Department: r Consul at Bremen cables: “Two deaths, child and mother, of ginposed cholera; Doctor Koch . Prof. Koch states that excellent sanitury conditions exists in Bremen and Bremer- haven, Single transmitted cases may ozscur, but there is no danger of epidemic cholera.” The Guion Line officials announce that in consequence of the 20 davs quarantine imposed in the United States azainst steam- ers carrying steerage passengers,the steamer Wisconsin, sailing from Liverpool on Sep- tember 10, the Arizona sailing S:ptember 17, the Wyoming sailing September 24, and the Alaska sailing Ociober 1,will ca. ry only first and second-class = passengers. The Nevada, which will sail Sept:mber 14, will take steerage passengers. CABIN PASSENGERS START FOR FIRE ISLAND. On account of the strong Southern wind revailing outside it was deemed unsafe P send the Stonington to Fire Island; as it was feared she would vrove unseaworthy- Accordingly Dr. Jenkins suggested the iron steamboat Cephus, and she was chartered by Dock Commissioner Cram,and at 11 o’cloc arrived at the unper station, having on board the Commis: i mer and the Chamber of Commerce Relief Committee, headed by Seth Low. Accompanied by Dr. Jenkins, the Crphus immediately proceeded to the hospital at. Bandy Hook, where the cabin assengers of ‘the Normannia ho have Been on the Stonington sine: Saturday night, were taken on board. At 3:30 Sun- day afternoon the Cephus started for ire Island inthe face of w.strong sea. Just before 10 o'clock Bunday nigh Dr. Jenkins received a telegram from Fire Ts- had tur! he people at’ Babylon GHOLERA 1S QUARMNTINED land saying the Cephus could not land and te Jed back, Pht Talip stationed on Fire Island, to dispute the Janding-of the Ba ‘on the : + The position of the Normannia’s people isnot enviable.

HEALTHY PASSENGERS WILL BE LANDED IN QUARANTINE THERE. ; A number of leading citizens of Babylon and isiip, settlements on Fire Island to-day telegranhed. Governor Flower protesting against the island for quarantining healthy assengers from the infected ships. The overner replied that in his belief the in- habitants of the island have nothing to fear from the landing of the passengers, who he savs are as healthy asthe inhabitants. The Governor further directed Health Officer Jenkins to use theisland for quaran- tine purposes, and advised the State Board of Health of his action. The latter notified the local Board of Islip that the latter bodv was powerless to prevent the occupancy of the island by passengers from the cholera ships. MONDAY’S REPORT FROM THE NEW YORK QUAR- : ANTINE. The epidemic of cholera among the ships Iying in the Lower Bay is now practicall contined to the Scandia. Three more chol- era patients were removed from her steer- age to Swinburne Island. and a child died on board of cholera after an illness of only three hours. An infant in gris also died aboard of summer complaint. On the other ships Dr. Byron's inspection showed that no new cases of cholera had de- veloped. On Hoffman Island, where both the Normannia’s and the Ruygia's steerage passengers are now housed, every immi- grant Wis reporfed well, ag xem THE PLAGUE GETTING WORSE. AX INCREASE IN THE DEATHS AND NEW CASES OF CHOLERA AT HAMBURG, . Expectations as to the abatement of the plague have not been realized at Hamburg. On Saturday there were 810 fresh cases, 21 more than on Friday. and ~=261 deaths. 11 more than on Friday. Sunday there have been 798 fresh cases, 12 fewer than yester- day, and 281 deaths, 24 more than yester- day: The number of persons in cholera hospitals and barracks on .Saturday was 3,124 and to-day 3,239. A. city physician says that the average rate of mortality has been two cases in every five. The most conservative figures place the number of eases until Sunday at 12,000 and the number of deaths at 7,000. The number of burials was 457 on Saturday and to-day 492 or so far in excess of the number of deaths that the city hospitals and houses are believed to be practically free fiom dead bodies. y The want of food among workingmen’s families increases, and Social Democratic organs call on the Government to alleviate it. They say that there are 15,000 persons in Hamburg who are absolutely destitute, with naraly clothes to cover them, and neither money nor food from one day to the next. The suburbs, Hamerbrook, Born and Barmbeck are said to contain the larg- est numbers of the impoverished families, and for all three immediate relief through Government loans is demanded. If such help is not forthcoming soon, the Social Democratic editors prophesy, the city will experience such desperation and misery as no city has experienced since the revolution of 1848-49. The churches Sunday could not hold the throngs, and hundreds of persons stood in front oc the doors or under the church windows, listemng to the prayers for the abatement of the plague. In the harbor {istrict the misery of the lower classes was painfully apparent. The children playing in'the gutters were spiritless and hunzry; many of the women were tearful, and the men were sul en or aggressively talkative. The plague is reported Sunday evening to be as virulent as ever in the suburbs of Barmbeck and Alsterdorf, but to be abating elsewhere. THE RECORD FROM RUSSIA. The cholera statistics of Russia show that 2,337 new cases of the disease and 1,869 deaths occurred throughout Russia Sunday. In St. Petersburg 81 cases and 30 deaths were reported Sunday.

Captain, ~ "HOW TO GET RICH. Bvery Great Fortune Mude by Some Short | Road to Wealth, The desire to see something of the famous ‘mining region of the Reeky Mountains log me, Several years ago, topass a tion of — oo cation in the vicinity of the world renowned ‘Comstock Mines. While idling about and absoroing, as it were, in- formation throngh the pores of my skin, a similarity of brought me into daily contact with one of the Flood, Mackey & O'Brien syndicate of Bonanza Kings, and the inelegant but forceful philosophy of this great accumulator of wealth made a lasting impression upon my mind. Sitting one evening in hisroom and enjoy- ing at once his int humor and his fragrant Havana, remarked, “Captain, one of the old proverbs recites that ‘there is no short road to wealth,” but You have found ene. You are still a young man, com- paratively, and are quoted a multi-million- aire.” “Yes” he said, ‘‘and of all the un- true savings some of the proverbs, pop- ularly supposed to embody the wisdom of the ages, are the most false and niisleading. Look, for a moment, over the list of wealthy men whose fortunes amount to §50,- 000 and upward, and point out tome, if you can, ene single individual who has not ac- quired his money by some short road to wealth.” “The days of man are few, and time is not given in this age of the world for men to ac- cumulate mucit wealth except by means of special openings, and by takiogadvaniageof the nigh cuts.” ‘‘You may be right,” I said, “tut where one man sycceeds in reaching his goal by a cross contr read, do not the many fail?’ ‘‘No,” sgid he, “Didn't T ses you starting out yesterday by the main road the camp on the other side of the moun- BY? “Yer,”1said. Well” he replied, ‘ could have en the trail over.the & saved probably two hours’ walking, and reached the camp ia absolute safety and ‘certainty, only you did not know of the trail. If is just so in business, the man that wants to travel with an ox team and ride in the wagon, must go by the big road, while Rhe fellow who goes by the trail will get ghere first, and if t! nly one supper to had at the sfation the cross cduntry traveler is the one who will eat it. Take ‘my own rience, which is simply an il- lustration of the way every fortune has been made. 1 was keeping a little store here and barely ‘making tongue and buckle meet,’ lwhen I had an opportuntity to get hold of a hlock of stock in the then infant Comestock Mines. ‘I chewed itover' for three days and decided to take it in, and that move lead naturally to all that 1 have done since, and proved the foundation of my for- tune. I bought more stock, as had money; bought stock in other good mines, apd before I knew it 1 was well fixed.” “But,” I said, ‘prices here are so high that theére is little chance for a man of means.” ‘‘That’s true,” he replied, ‘‘but there are plenty -of good properties about here, and their success is onty a question of means and good management. Then, too, if you want to do something in mines, I will tell you of a field where you can do better than here, and one that in my opinion is the best on the American continent. I should have gone myself to it if I had not been so heavily interested here that I could not get away. Irefer to the gold region of North Georgia. ‘There is the first, and, as I said ‘before, I think the best mining region in this country.” “Why,” I said, ‘is not mcre heard about it?’ ‘‘Because,” he replied, Planting was the great absorbing industry of the South before the war. That region during the war was the battle ground, and miners were forced into the West, where, in the meantime, the centre of the industry has beeome established. In Georgia you can get hold of mines on the basis of $100, 060 that in the West would be worth a million, and to make them success- ful you only need money to operate and efficient management. here you can work out doors every day in the year; labor which is high here is cheap there; fuel and water are abundant, and the ores generally in larger bodies, equally as rich or richer than ours, and the cost of mining, owing to the softer walls about the veins and lower wages, is less than one-quarter of the cost for the same work here.” Naturally I was interested to look up the history of the Comstock, and I found that stock quoted at £8.00 per share in the early days or operations, sold soon after as high as $138) per share, and that upwards of = 000,000 were paid out in dividends to share- holders, To a knowledge of these facts, and a sub- sequent thorough acquaintance with the Georgia gold regio, which my friend, the 1 as not overestimated, may be di- rectly attributed the formation of the At- lanta Gold Mining Company. . ‘The company has carefully selected its property, has placed in management of the ‘same men of experience, tried in the busi- ness, and now places before you the oppor- tunity to secure some of its shares at fifty per cent. of their ‘par value, or $5.00 per share. The money you pay for these shares will be used in erecting complete and suit- able reduction mills, and the officers of the company feel sure that at the same time thar you are furnishing the funds to put the property upon a paying basis; you will be planting your own feet upon one of these ‘‘short roads: to wealth” which have enabled every rich man in this country to reach his present position. The stock is fully paid up and nou-as2as- able; the total amount of stock is $104,000, and $50,000 of this gmount is devoted to the uses of the treasury of the company. The. company has reserved the right to advance the pirice of its shares withous for- mal notice, and the demand for stock 1s such that an advance is now in contemplatiun, but is not as yet ordered. ‘Che Southern Banking and Trust Co., of Atlanta, Ga., one of the strongest financial institutions in the South, acts as transfer agent for the company, and to it all orders for stock should be adaressed, accompanied either with New York exchange or posi- office money order for the number of shares orderelat $3 each. ‘Why He Was ‘L'nere.
