|^F |RSISI % com bination and ele B"ance — It was hand -1 some enough to figure at a church parade in Hyde Park, and strong enough to fell an ox with. In my peregrinations through the hush of Australia this stick was always with me. It was a stout support and a weapon of defense in case of need. If ever a snake had confronted me I leave you to guess the reception he would have got. Talk about mince meat! I have a perfect horror of snakes— those pests of central Australia—and so, as soon as I had arrived in the coun try, I made every inquiry as to the best methods of protecting one's self against the reptiles. "Cover your legs with leather gai ters," I was'told, "and then, with a good stick in your hand, you need have no fear." Thereupon I was enlightened as to the infallible manner of slaying the enemy: "Avoid placing yourself behind or in front of your snake—behind es pecially—but take it side on, grip your stick hard and bring it down on its back with all your might: Bang!— there you are; 3'ou have broken its slippery spinal column, and your snake is soon as dead as a door nail." Over and over again people said to me: "Surely you will not return to Europe without being able to say to your compatriots: T kilted a serpent in Australia, and this is how it was done!' " Every Frenchman who has traveled in far countries is supposed to be more or-less tinged with tar tarinade. All that is very well, but I am a pru dent man, and I said to myself: "In stead of a Frenchman telling his fel low-cour.trymcn hpw to kill a snake, it might just as likely end in a snake tell ing its friends and family how to pol ish off a Frenchman." However, when I was in the bush, wandering about armed with that new stout wttllc'ng-stick, I went thropgh the roll that I might be called upon to enact at any moment, and I killed them by hundreds—the snakes that were not there. Not 'ono escaped. Just a tremendous whack, and the thing was done exactly as my friends had told me: "Bang!—there you are." Iu the case of two enemies, the one who is first discovered by the other is half beaten. And so the snake I feared especially was the one hidden in the grass or the dead wood with which the bush is strewn and which, being walked upon, has away of en tering an energetic protest in the form of a bite on your calf before you have time to know where you are. But the snake that 1 dreaded most of all was the one which insinuates it self at evening into people's houses, glides into a bedroom and quietly curls up in the bed. I arrived one evening in a town sit uated in the interior of New South j Wales. The season was what the in habitants of those parts called win ter; 105 degrees of heat at midday and l>o at nine in the evening—regular snake weather. Not a leaf stirred; one could scarcely breathe in the leaden atmosphere. The little town was right in the bush. Behind the ho tel whore I had alighted ran a small river that furni shed.the establishment with mosquitoes of an energy and vo racity beyond competition. The cook ery in that hotel v. as atrocious. Like poor dead Polonius, we, the guests, wero at a feast, not where we ate, but where wo were eaten. Before retiring to rest on the first night I had a chat with the landlord, who informed me that the district was infested with snakes. The close vicinity of the bush and of the river, added to the intense heat, naturally rendered the town a lilcely resort for snakes. That very afternoon my host had killed one measuring eight feet in one of his tlower beds. "And," he said, "the plague of it is th at the brutes are con stantly getting into the house and hiding in the bedrooms." •You may imagine whether I searched my rooin in every part; in the eoruers, under the furniture, under the bed and in the bed. I carefully prodded with that good stick of mine the bed-cover ings aud the pillows. No snakes anywhere. Quite reassured, I closed the win dow, undressed, put out the light and get into bed. The heat Was stifling. Presently some mosquitoes began to buzz around my head, intonating the battle cry that heralds a combat with out quarter. There wero curtains, but with holes in them; worse than none. It is generally so with Australian ho tels. The consequence is that when the beast is inside he cannot get out A duel amort. Y r ou or he must die. That buzz of the mosquitoes is as irri tating as the whizzing of bullets on the battlefield, but with this differ ence, however, that the ball which has just gone singing past you 13 gone for ever, while the buzz of the mosquito announces to you that the battle is about to begin. As a protection for my bead, and at the risk of suffocation, I drew the sheet over my face, and then, bathed in perspiration, I tried to forget Id sleep real mosquitoes and imaginary snakes. I believe I slept for a few minutes. The heat was such that I felt as if I were burning and panting in a boiling water bath. It was impossible to en dure it longer, so I resolved to give my hands and arms over to the mosquitoes j Keeping- the sheet over my face, I put my arms outside and laid my hands on i the quilt. No, really, I am not more of a cow j ard than you, gallant reader, but then j and there my blood froze in my veins, j 1 had laid my hand down on a snake, j that was stretched out beside me on I the bed! I had almost grasped it in | deed. Yes, a real, long, round snake, | cold and immobile as death. J Snakes are heavy sleepers, and this I slept profoundly. It was perfectly still. Gently I drew my hand in under the sheet again. I repeat, I am no more of a coward than you; neither am I more braveT But if I found myself face to face with | a lion and I had a good gun in hand, I am perfectly convinced that I would have the necessary sang froid to send : him a well-directed bullet before giv j ing him the time to help himself to a I slice of my anatomy. But a snake in the blackness of night there beside me, and I lying unarmed, defenseless. I have always had a horror of all crawling things. If I had been the first man the human race would have been spared a great deal, for I never could have eaten an apple in the com pany of a serpent, even if it had been shared by the loveliest woman in the world. I would rather meet a raven ing wolf at the corner of a wood than know that there was hiding in my bed room even an inoffensive black beetle. A lizard would make me take to my heels. A snake, just fancyl A cold perspiration broke out all over me. What was to be done? Oct up and ily? Yes, no doubt; but what if I , woke it up and it nuiled mo to the door? To lie still and wait for daylight appeared to be the wisest thing tcJ do, after all. Yes, much the wisest. But, alas! it could scarcelj T bo midnight yet, and never, never should I be able to endure that living night mare for seven mortal hours. The snake moved not a muscle, neitlier did I. What seemed strange to me was that this snake slept stretched out straight, instead of being curled up, as his species generally are in repose. By means of an imper ceptible movement of mj' knees I came to the conclusion that it must be about three feet long. This is the length of the terrible death adder. It made my poor brain reel to think that the hor rid brute was there, ready to give me my death when it should wake up. Another plan suggested itself: roll the quilt very softly and, wrapping it over the creature, strangle it. Yes, yes, but the room was in dense dark ness, and I should be running a great risk. It might wriggle deftly from my grasp and dart its poisoned fangs into my arm. Haunted by visions of Laocoon, fa ther and family, dripping with per spiration, the darkness multiplied my sufferings and made the situation seem terrible. Then I had a few calm moments— thanks to the idea that death caused by a snake bite is painless. You go to sleep and do not wake any more, that's all. I thought of Cleopatra. Ileigho! far better die like that than of gout or rheumatism. Stop a moment though! I had rather not die of that or of anything else to night. To die a painless death is dy ing all the same, and I feel so grateful to be alive! I was going crazy, and I felt that a light was the only thing that could bring back my wits. I would have nc I CAREFULLY PRODDED WITH THAT GOOD STICK OF MINE. more suspense. I would strike a match and have the enemy face to face, or rather on the side, as people had all recommended. The snalco was there at iny side, still immobile, soundly asleep, never "dreaming that a man nearly six feet, strong, healthy and in the prime of life, was trembling at the side of it. I put out my right arm and reached the match box that stood on a table by the bed, and after frantic precau tions 1 succeeded in lighting the can dle. The light appalled me at first. The snake would certainly wake up and the duel would begin. The snake moved not. I grew emboldened and went so far as to uncover half my head and steal a glance down the bed. There it was, sure enough, motionless still, and still as straight as a line. I took courage, and after ten minutes spent In imper ceptible efforts, I arrived at the edge of the bed at last and stealthily va cated it. I was going to look for my trusty walking stick, resolved to sell my life as dearly as possible. I looked on the mantelpiece, on the chest of drawers, in every corner of the room. Where on earth could that stick be? I turned toward the bed again. I took up the light, and now once more in full possession of my faculties, drew near and looked at the snake. Well, well! Is it possible for a man to be such a fool? Max O'Rell, in Ladies' Home Journal. "What makes you allow Johnnie to play with Mrs. Upperflat's horrid little boy?"

Very Much Respected and Beloved iti the Reichslaitd—Baron lioellci-'o Appointment Viewed with Con. eeru—Correspondence to the Lou don Press on the Situation. London, Oct. 30.—The Morning Post's Berlin correspondent says: "Prince Hohenlohe being no speaker, Dr. von Boetticher probably will be the govern ment's mouthpiece in parliament for j home affairs and Freiherr Marschail j von Bieberstein will represent it in • foreign affairs. Prince Hohenlolie'B I appointment continues to be favorably j commented on, although it will be re j gretted in the Peichsland where he j was universally and deservedly re ! spected and beloved. The position of statthalter in his hands developed a dignity and semi-independence with which only the viceroyalty of India perhaps is comparable. Owing to hi 9 and his wife's great wealth, the sacri fice of the place of statthalter, with a salary of £8,500 for the chancellorship with a salary of £2,700 was inappre ciable. Baron Koeller's departure will not be regretted in the Reichsland. His ap pointment Is viewed with concern even by Caprivi's opponents. In the reieh stags of 1887 and 1891 he was,an avowed reactionist, a strong anti-semite, an advocate of repressive laws against the socialists, and an opponent o#► a free press." The Daily News hears from its Ber lin correspondent: "It is certain that the kaiser designated Count Botho zu Kulenburg for the governorship of the Reichsland and that Prince Hohenlohe objected. I learn from a credible source that the kaiser has decided upon the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg for the place. The latter is unknown in politics, except in the one respect that he is not a reactionist nor an iron listed administrator. He is greatly in terested in colonial matters." The News correspondent speaks of Baron Koeller as free from prejudice, ener getic and just. The Standard's Berlin correspondent says: "The countermanding at the last minute of the cabinet council sum moned started all kinds of reports, on" being that the crisis was not over, that several ministers and secretaries of state intended to resign, and that the secretary of lusHce had already re tired." The Standard correspondent regards the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg as the most likely candidate for the post of statthalter in Strassburg, but says that the appointment of Prince Fred erick of Hohenzollern is possible. i KILLED IIV A BULL. A Laborer Terribly Gored To Death on the Belle Meade Farm. Somervllle, N. J., Oct. 30.—Jacob Swartz, a farm laborer, at the Belle Meade stock farm of Charles Howell Cook, was gored to death by an Infuri ated Holstein bull. Swartz had entered the bull's pen to care for It when the animal tore from Its nose the ring by which it was fastened on account of Its vicious nature. With a mad plunge the bull pinioned Swartz to the side of the stable with its horns. Farm la borers rushed to the rescue, but were unable to beat off the maddened beast. Drawing back it repeatedly attacked its victim until It forced' his body through a heavy board partition Into the adjoining pen. Swartz was dead when picked up. The bull is the largest of his breed in the country and wns form, ly the property of Senator Mc pherson. Swartz is the third man the animal has killed. Pinned to the Floor. Fall River. Mass., Oct. 30.—While workmen were engaged In hoisting steam engines cylinders into place at the Durfee Mills, a part of the fasten ings gave away and Robert Gray, an engineer employed by the Watts Camp bell Engine company of Newark, N. J., was pinned between the cylinder and the flooring. Edward Preu. a work man, was similarly caught. Gray's injuries proved fatal at the hospital of the Good Samaritan shortly after he had been removed there. Preu wns badly though not fatally hurt. Gray was a middle aged man and it is said he leaves a family in Newark. Olitey Against Tillman. Washington, Oct. 30. Attorney Gen eral Olney has decided adversely to Gov. Tillman on the question raised be tween the United States and the state of South Carolina in the dispensary j ease. This brings the South Carolina dispensary law into direct conflict with the international revenue laws of the j United States. Columbia, S. C., Oct. 30.—Governor Tillman says the opinion of Attorney General Olney was nothing more th- n he expected. That is all he has to say. No Speech from Carlisle. Washington, Oct. 30.—1t is officially anounced that Secretary Carlisle will not make any speeches in New York state or any other state during the pending political campaign. This an nouncement was made presumably i after Secretary Carlisle had conferred with the president, as on Saturday the statement was made that Mr. Carlisle would confer with the president before he took any action in the matter. Roasted on Her Red. New York, Oct. 30.—8y the explosion of a lamp which stood near a bed on which Mrs. Ellen Conroy was sleeping in her apartments on Cherry street last night the woman was almost roasted to death before she was rescued by neighbors.

I Persistent Attempt To Murder a Miner Wli . Returned To Work. j New York, Oct. 29.—A Herald special ' from Mansfield, Pa., says: Da id Steen, c*ie of the prominent coal operators of I this valley, discharged about fifty of | his miners about six weeks ago. They I were men who had taken active part in | the riots last spring, and Mr. Steon thought they were preparing for another outbreak this winter. One of the men, Joseph Linell, was taken back, but Mr. Steen refused to employ the others. The latter tried to compel Linell to stop work, but he refused. They then swore vengeance on him Linell lived alone in a small shanty, near the mines, but, fearing the threats of the discharged miners, he moved to the boarding house of Mrs. Elizabeth Adams. The latter was told she had better refuse to entertain Linell, but the plucky woman defied the miners and, took Linell in. Linell has been in the habit of sleeping in a room at one end of the house, hut on Friday night did not occupy his regular room. The town was shaken by an explosion of dynamite at three o'clock. One end of Mrs. Adams' house was shattered. LineH's bed was blown through the roof. The explosive had been thrown through the window and exploded al most under the bed. The persons who threw the stick of dynamite found Linell had escaped them. They then went to his shanty, where it was thought ho might be, and the place was bombarded with dynamite. The shanty was blown to pieces. It was evidently ! the work of the men whose displeasure Linetl had incurred by returning to 1 work and one of their number is under arrest.

"After January 1, I expect to fill several en gagements here and will speak also In other cities.

An Estate of Nearly $900,000 in volved—Claimed That the Million aire Was Never Divorced from His First Wife—Mrs. Sinclair No. 1 II Deceased. Baltimore, Oct. 29.—1t caused some thins of a start in Baltimore's highest business and social circles when the news came that a legal action had been begun in Brooklyn N. Y., which recognized two women as claiming to bf the widows of the late William Sinclair of Cantonsville. The S.p.clairs have been moving in the highest society in Baltimore and the statement that an other women besides Mrs. Phoebe Sin clair of Cantonsville claimed to be Sinclair's widow caused much wonder. Mr. Sinclair came to Baltimore from Brooklyn in 1871. He had been in the hemp and wooden ware business In New York. Shortly after his arrival here he succeeded Gen. O'Donnell as president of the Consolidated Gas company.About 15 years ago, it is said, Mr Sinclair was divorced from his first wife and a few years later married Mrs. Phoebe S. Taylor, the daughter of Col. Cole man, the owner and proprietor of the Carrolton hotel of this city.While sep arated from his first wife, but before applying for a divorce, Mr Sinclair purchased some property In Florida and gave it to her. It is stated that the first Mrs. Sinclair died there three years ago. Mr Sinclair died last July leaving an estate valued at $1,700,000. He left no will and half of that amount will go to his widow. Mrs. Phoebe S. Sinclair, the second wife and widow lives at Canton ville. The estate has been In the hands of the administrators for over two months. Mr Sinclair left a number of relatives in Ilrooklyn who arc heirs to half the estate. A dispatch from Jack sonville last night soya: Wm. Slnslair married Rosalie Perpall, about eighteen years ago. The Perpall family is one of the oldest and best known familter in Florida, Mrs Sinclair was a devout catholic, and it was said that he was the bone of contention that eventually caused a separation in 1890. Mrs. Sinclair resided at St Augustine fot several years. It was generally belivec that she was very wealthy, In 18St she went to Atlanta, Ga.. and friends here lost track of her until three years ago. She was then taken to a hospital in St Augustine, where she died after a few weeks illness. Just before death Mrs Sinclair wrote a will. Bequeathing property which she valued ats3oo,oo to Catholic institutions but only $15,000 worth has been found. The physclan who attended Mrs Sim lair in her last illness and witnessed the will, says the lady was of unsound mind, F. E. Perpall of St Augustine was made executor of the will and represents the other seven heirs in this state. Their attorneys claim that no divorce was obtained by Mr. Sinclair, at least no record of it has been found In New York, Maryland, or Florida. ALMOST A LYNCHING.

Oct 29.—The congregation of St James church, on James street, between Madison street and the Bowery were surprised at high mass yesterday, to see Saxton Daniel G.
