land is concerned, nothing more will
be beard of tbe offer to hold silver as

“mischievous effect the governor’s let¬
ter has had abroad,” and it quotes
length from a letter written by a
American manufacturer, whose name
is not given, dilating upon and
ting the fact that the bank’s offer
to some extent a confession of the
visability of what Mr. Bryan claimed.

A White Throat Racer.
George Stewart, while working on
the farm of J. Kennedy Tod, the New
York banker, at Sound Beach, Conn.,
came upon a reptile known as a white
throat racer, which was colled behind
a rock.
He procured a gun and fired at the
Bnake, slightly wounding it. The
snake, a monster, sprang at him and
hit him on the shoulder, but was
knocked to one side.
Mr. Stewart seized a rail, and for
more than an hour there was a run¬
ning fight between him and the snake.
When it was finally killed the reptile
wsb found to measure eight inches
around and nearly ten feet in length.
The snake is the largest ever seen
there.—Trenton (N. J.) American.
