BpC; The entertainment presented by one of

servatory of Music, at the Carlisle Fitting
i? School Chapel, in this city, last ThureBrcv
day evening, was a distinct disappointW^
' ment to many of the very large audience.
True, the soprano was sick, and unable
Bp to render any of her single numbers, it
being stated that she had got out of bed
. to come to the hall but the listless distil#;"
piriting manner of the other members of
the company, threw a damper upon the
fe|--Y whole program.
This attraction had been widely advertised
as something unusually good, and it
is exceeding unfortunate in the face of
Spl?^ > this, that so many of those present should
p!|v criticise the entertainment.

Card from Supervisor Bruce.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?In
regard to the card of Treasurer Folk in
your last week's paper, in which he gives
. the financial condition of the county, I
fail to understand how the statement of
county expenses published by you recently
could have created a wrong im;
pression. This statement of each year's
expenses has always been made up by the
; clerk of our board every January in order
that our representatives could see what
< each department of the county cost and
know how to make appropriations for the j
( coming year. This statement has been
published every year, so, why could it
create a wrong impression as stated by
i Mr. Folk, I cannot see.
s The expenses are correct, for in it are
included the unpaid salaries and all
^ claims against the county. Therefore,
after paying the county expenses for 1903
> we should have about $2,000 to apply to
> back indebtedness. In other words, the
county will be that much nearer out of
debt than it was one year ago.
The $2,073.35 paid out of county funds
last year to replace that amount of school
. funds used by the county was not men,
tioned in the statement of expenses, and
! had no right to be there. That was no
part of county expenses, but was school
money used several years ago for county
purposes by my predecessor in office, and
in order for it to be paid back to the
schools, a special act had to be passed by
the legislature. This was done last January,
and consequently the money could
not be returned until last year.

County Supervisor.

Crushed by

Dreadful Death of a

La Pantella, a beautiful gypsy girl,
was crushed to death by an immense
python in a menagerie at Voelklingen,
Prussia, a few days ago.
A crowd applauded what it believed
to be simply the intense realism of the
scene. When the curtain fell the members
of the audience dispersed, still not
dreaming that they had looked upon a
tragedy.
"For a time I thought the woman
was In torture," said one spectator as
he walked away.
"Yes; she Is a wonderful actor. Such
a look of horror I never saw upon a
human face," remarked another.
"But how she smiled as the big snake
seemed to tighten his coils!"
So they chatted. Could they have
neered behind the canvas of the men

agetie tent their impressions of the
thrilling spectacle would have undergone
a quick and startling change.
Half a dozen showmen were busy
cutting the sinuous folds of the python
from the poor little body of the gypsy
girl, who was twisted and bruised.
"See how sweetly she smiles," whispered
one of the showmen.
The next day the newspapers were
told bow La Pantella was squeezed to
death by a python In sight of a thousand
persons so stupid that they cried
"Bravo!" as the reptile closed about his
victim.
Stupid? Perhaps not Every one is
not expected to know what It means to
be crushed in the coils of a python.
Had the woman rolled her eyes in pain
or terror or had she screamed or even
raised a hand In call for help those
who watched her open mouthed and
alert would have known.
But the python Is a stealthy executioner.
Possessed of no tongue of venom,
he must depend upon his great
muscles to slowly overcome his prey.
Mile. Anita Fougere, who is admitted
by the members of her particular avocation
to be one of the most notable of
its exponents, has been giving exhibitions
in this country. She has been
squeezed by a python and thus describes
the sensations:
"My preference always ran towaid
the larger snakes. I loved the big boas,
the cobras and the pythons. Let the
men fool with silly little copperheads
and rattler*!
"But to get down to the story of how
I was squeezed to death.'
"We were In Canada, and It was winter.
The weather was so cold that my
snakes were almost good for nothing.
The cobras were just so many logs the
moment I took them out of their warm
blankets In a heated room,
"The performance was In the evening,
and, a s I remember, I was very
fared. The day's work had been trying.
.There was just one more act, the exhibition
of Monarch, my big python.
"He had been in a strange humor lor
several dajre. I was not quite sure of
him. The night before as be bad
wound himself about my body I noticed
that he twitched, and I was
frightened just a little.
"The professional snake charmer has
**a hndnoou tn hp nprvnns op nrmreheil
sive, but sometimes we just can't help
it I was so the moment I reached
into the box and drew ont the cold
head of Monarch that evening.
"I reasoned, however, that the weather
would soon take out of him any
wickednesu he might have, so I proceeded
with the final act

while he dragged along the rest of Ma
eleven feet and encircled me.

"Bui: this night there Teas a new
rigor in his clasp. As one length after
another coiled around me I felt the
whole frame of the serpent tighten. 1
knew that I was at Monarch's mercy.
I wanted to scream, but I was afraid.
"The least sign of fear or surrender
on my part would quickly have resulted
in my death.
"I held Monarch's head in one hand
and, instead of watching my audience,
beat my gaze into his eyes, speaking
to him all the while in a low, purring
tone to "which ue was ustu, uui ue
simply spread -wider his great mouth.
"At this I signaled the attendants to
go farther away, for an angry snake
must see no one but his master. The
pain which filled me was now exquisite.
I felt I must totter and fall,
but I was held upright as though I
stood in a metal pipe. My feet seemed
no longer to touch the floor. I was
floating through space, with my beacon
the great head of the python, whose
bead:* eyes glowed like twin coals.
"Into my vitals seemingly ran a
thousand needles. It was a paroxysm
of agony so intense that it became a
great Joy.
"Finally I found myself engaged in
strange calculations, harboring weird
hope. How long until I should feel a
rib snap? Which one would break
first? 1
"Upon my ears broke the sound of
music. Yes, it was the old grind organ
of Iderre Lecardi, whom I used to
know when I was a girl.
"The python must have disturbed my
line of vision by a hug more intense,
for I was lifted twenty years ahead
and laid in the arms of a great, strong
man. Some danger lurked near?when
the protecting arms of my husband
closed about me.
"So happy was I at this stage that
my first words upon recovering my
senses framed a protest
** *wny nave you cut away tne arms
of niy husband?* I cried.
"'Poor girl; pool AnitaI' I heard
some one say. 'It wasn't Prestino who
hugged you; It was Monarch. We had
l.o cut him to pieces to save your life.'"

Settled a Dispute With

Recent cable dispatches brought an
account of a tragic affair that occurred
recently in the students' quarters of ;
St Petersburg, the principals being \
two girl students. The story is most
dramatic. One of the girls made the i
acquaintance of a young man of good <
family and became secretly engaged to |
him. Shortly afterward she introduced
to her fiance another young girt an Intimate
friend of her own. At this J
point the tragedy began, for the fickle ,
lover immediately fell deeply in love i
with his fiancee's friend, and, what
was still worse, the attachment was <
mutual.
The girts, however, true to their ,
friendship, had no secrets from one another,
and the newcomer confided to
the betrothed girl the fact that she and
the young man were in love. The two i
girls were in despair, and at length determined
that the death of one of them
offered the only solution of the difficulty.
They accordingly resolved upon
flirhting what the Russians call an
"ijnerican duel."

that the betrothed girl had to shoot her
friend. The latter stood calmly awaiting
her death* locking straight Into the
eyes of the girl who held the revolver,
bat the latter, yielding to a sudden impulse,
turned the weapon against her
own breast and llred. The shot was a
fatal one, and, bleeding from a terrible
wound, the poor girl fell dead on the
floor.
At this sight the girl whose life had
been spared snatched the revolver and
attempted to commit suicide, but her
trembling hand was incapable of properly
directing the shot, and she only
wounded herself slightly.
Her courage giving way, she knelt In
despair by the corpse of her friend, crying
bitterly, and in this position she
was found by neighbors, who, on hearing
the shots, broke into the room.
