day was most successfully and brilliantly
celebrated here , not only by tlio resident
and vialtlng Americans , but ulso by the Par-
Is.nns themselves. The municipal and stnto
officials did their best to glvo colnt to the oo-
cnslon , which from llrst to last was marked
by the utmont cordiality among all who took
part In It.
For the Americans the celebration com
menced at 10 o'clock In the morning , when , to
the number 01' several hundred , they assem
bled at the Convent Dames lies Suoro Cocurs
do Jesus ot Mnrlo In the Hue do Picpns for
tbo purpose of decorating with flowers the
grave of General Lafuyotto. The ceremo
nies were tho' snmo ns those with which
Decoration dny Is observed In the United
Statcn. The presence and participation of the
detachment of United States marines in
clmrce of the American exhibits at the
exhibition , contributed much to the
solemn Imprcsslvcnoss that character
ized the scene. A number of
thoao-prcscnt were the decorations of tbo
Grand Army of the Republic , Loyal Lcplon
and Order of Cincinnati , and hero and there
were also to bo acrn members of the Asso

follows In English :
Ladles and Gentlemen : Permit mo to
thank you for myself and In the name of all
the other members of our family for your
presence hero to-day , ana for the honor you
have luld to the memory of my grand-
father. What you have done has deeply
touched our hearts , and I cannot ilnd words
In which to express what 1 nnd'uiy relatives
feel at this moment. It is also peculiarly
touching to us that to-day , on this anniver
sary of tUo birthday of the American re
public , military honors should bo donu in
thfl capltaf of the French republic to
the memory of General Lafayette by
the f'rnndehlldron of the bravo men who
fought with him n hundred years ago for
American independence.
There was no further speech-making , the
firing of three volleys over the crave by the
marines bringing the simple ceremonies to
tui appropriate conclusion.
The afternoon ceremonies at Haul do
Oreoncllo ivero of an imposing and ofllclal
character. President Cartiot , accompanied
by General Urujjoro and his military staff ,

of foreign affalra ; M , Chautcuips. president
of the municipal council ; Minister Wliite-

The Walnnt Hill Property O\viiors
DtsoiiSH the matter.
A meeting of Walnut Hill property own
ers was held nt Ryan's store , on Lowe ave
nue , last evening to discuss the question of
grading on Cuining street. Chairman Gibbons
bens stated that there was a conflict between
the engineer of the Omaha Motor company
and the city engineer as to the grade on
Burning street between Thlrty-flfth and
Thirty-sixth streets , and that if
the motor company's track Is twenty Inches
below the grade , as the city engineer says It
is , the motor company is wrong , but , if not ,
the motor company should bo sustained. Ho
suggested that the only course to take would
1)0 for the property owners to get up a peti
tion and ask the city to regulate the grade.
Other speakers made a fuw remarks. Some
claimed that there hud been influences
brought to bear upon certain members of the
council. All wanted the motor to run out
to that part of the city.
City Engineer Tillson said he was there to
give his ideas of the case , and ho proceeded
to explain the diftcronccs in grades.
It was moved that a committee of three
be appointed to procure nn engineer to test
the grade , ind , if necessary , go to the city
council and file a petition for a change of
grade of the street. The committee con
sisted of Messrs. BomrookVasserman and
Campbell.

A Patriotic Sorpont.
Ono of the best known characters in
San Diego county , in the southern part
of this state , isGoorgo Lamb , the driver
on the stngo to San Jacinto , twelve
miles distant. Mr. Lamb has boon n.
settler In the country for a peed many
years , where ho has taken up a piece of
land among the San Gorgonlo moun
tains along the stngo road , over which
ho drives daily , writes ono of the snake
artists of the San Francisco Examiner.
It is a lonely spot , nestling among
towering crags and broken by rough
ravines , prlnctoally inhabited by coyotes -
otos , wildcats , rattlesnakes , and occas
ionally a mountain lion. The land is ,
howuvor , fertile and produces flno
crops of barley , alfalfa and some fruit ,
so Mr. Lamb , who is no toudcrfoot , does
not worry about his uninvited tenants.
The semi-tropical climate of this part
of California appears especially adapted
to the growth of snakes , which hero at
tain enormous sizo. The old stage
driver , perhaps on account of his pe
culiar tomoramont , or from the lonll-
ness of the country , for years has
amused himself studying the habits of
the different varieties of snakes
ho moots on his travels. Whenever ho
discovers a singularly largo rattler or
rcd-racor ho docs not try to kill it. Ho
studies it quietly if it chances to bo
sunning itself on a rock or in the road ,
and ho prefers to make a detour rather
Limn alarm it , if such u cour.se is possi
ble. In this way ho has become on good
terms with some of the most venerable
and colossal snakes in the county. Some
time ago linding nig-raising a profitable
way of using up his surplus alfalfa ho
started a piggery , but in spite of all his
watchfulness against coyotes and wild
cats the young porkers kept disappear
ing.Ono
Ono warm afternoon as ho lay
stretched out comfortably under some
[ ruit trees , smoking his pipe and tend
ing his pigs , ho was startled by hearing
ono of the smallest ones give vent to car
piercing squeals. Looking hastily in
that direction Mr. Lamb's eyes
ALMOST POPPED 1-UO3I T1I1SIU SOCKETS
at beholding an immense serpent
wrapped round and round about the un
fortunate porker , seemingly bent on
swallowing it. Curiosity got the better
jf his timidity , and Mr. Lamb instant
ly determined to capture his snakeship
ilive if possible. The struggles of tbo
little porker were soon over , and the
snake began devouring it. The grass
and needs had concealed most of the
serpent's body so far. But in its efforts
to make way with the pig , the snake's
entire body came into view.
If Mr. Lamb had been astonished in
the first place , ho was simply paralyzed
now on beholding twonty-livo foot of
yellow and black snake , nearly the
blackness of a man's body. But ho was
still resolved to capture it , so quickly
returning to his cabin ho procured some
old blankets , fashioned them into a not
and , stealing UD to the reptile , which
was now fast aslcoy , completely enfolded
tt. Leaving the monster firmly secured
he selected a box canyon about half a
milo from his house , which had on
three sides high , rocky clilTs , with
smooth perpendicular surface. On the
fourth ho constructed in a few hours a
strong wall of rock and adobe.
Obtaining the assistance of throe In
dians , ho next conveyed the snake to
his now quarters , leaving the old blan
kets for a soft nest. A spring of water
bubbled up from among the rocks , and
catching a number of cottontails and
jack rabbits ho sot them loose in the in-
closuro. Every day ho would visit the
place and see how his charge was get
ting along , and soon ho and the snake
became well acquainted.
Among other accomplishments Mr.
Lamb is a fine performer on the accor
dion , and knowing the passions of the
serpent family for soft music of any na
ture , ho used to spend many of his
evenings sitting on the edge of the
canyon filling the surrounding atmos
phere with the dulcet strains of such
melodies as the "Boulangor March , " or
"I Believe It , For My Mother Told Mo
So. " The scaly monster , its head reared
above the ground , and a look of unmis
takable pleasure
IN ITS GLlTTEHINa EYE ,
would indulge in n guntlo hissing ,
meanwhile swaying to and fro in time
with the music.
The fame of Mr. Lamb's hugo pot
soon spread throughout the adjacent
country , and the Indians of the neigh
boring village began Hocking to his
place in squads , and on leaving would
generally carry away more than they
had brought with them. As they were
all armed with long knives and carried
revolvers in their belts , Mr. Lamb felt
constrained to treat them with respect
and not hurt their feelings by any allu
sion to his losses.
lie therefore stood it as long as ho
could , for in addition to being u mild-
mannered person ho had considerable
pride in his captive , and ho know his
possession of such a big snake , with
which ho was on terms of the closest in
timacy , elevated him greatly in the
oyea of the natives , who looked upon
him as the largest kind of a medicine
man. But their constant visits to his
place were slowly reducing him to beg
gary , as they generally brought their
keen appetites with them and very
llttlo provender. Ilobogan to think lib
would bo obliged to lot the snake loose
again or Kill it the last alternative ho
could not bring his mind to consent to
when an Englishman with a passion for
gunning and tramping pvor wild coun

It happened that the visitor was n

keeping a largo supply In his luggage ,

in his favorite tipple previous to reach

The dawn of another1 summer day was
breaking when the Englishman pro
posed to the ranchman to go and take a
look at the big serpent , which , from his
host's description , ho felt convinced belonged -
longed to the boaconstrlctor species of
tropical America. , The old slago driver
was loath to make such an early call on
his pot , who was not likely to relish being -
ing nwaUoucd and might rcsont the
invasion of American soil by n repre
sentative of John llVill. After much
persuasion , howovo'P ' , ho consented
TO snow ins visiT H THK SNAKE ;
BO , carrying undor'his'arm his faithful
accordion , ho sot out for the snake's
don. The serpent \vas \ sunning ttsolt in
the inclosuro when t\yb arrived thoro.
The Englishman , in whoso head the
fumes of the previous night's flowing
bowl fctlll lingered , despite Mr. Lamb's
warning , climbed upon the stone wall
and began recklessly whistling , "God
Save the Queen. " Ill vain Mr. Lamb
entreated him to ccaso , explaining that
the unfamiliar hymn would only anger
the snako. The half-lnobrlatod son of
Albion merely crossed his logs leisure
ly , winked nt the monster once or
twice , inserted his monocle in his eye ,
and continued whistling in a most of
fensive manner. Once or twice the
snake hissed ominously , but otherwise
paid no attention to his visisors.
Nothing daunted by the chilliness of
his reception , the Englishman , without
a moment's warning , jumped from the
wall directly into the Inclosuro , an
nouncing his intention of subduing the
reptile with the power of the human
oyo. Horrified at this temerity , Mr.
Lamb hurried to the edge of the cliff
and gazed down upon the reckless Brit
isher , who was serenely inspecting the
big snuko through his single oyo-glass.
Unconsciously Mr. Lamb's lingers
clutched his musical Instrument , and
the soft notes of "Rock-a-By , .rJaby"
lloatod out into , the still air. It was
none too soon. The now thorougly
aroused monster , his head erect and
drawn back , was about to spring upon
his apparently doomed victim.
The music acted llko a charm , and
the poised snake romnincd motionless.
Mr. Lamb did not dare to call out , fearing -
ing that the least discord would break
the spell. Slowly the now sobered and
horrified Englishman drew back , while
with the perspiration pouring from his
forehead at the awful scone Mr. Lamb
played on.
"Drill , You Tarriprs Drill 1" followed
"Rock-a-By. " Again the air changed ,
and the passing brcoxo caught the
plainti vo harmonics of "Razzlo-Dazzlo. "
The serpent slowly swayed to and fro.
never for a moment taking his eyes off
the retreating Englishman.
Human nerve could stand it no
longer and , fascinated by the dull ,
glittering eye of the snake , the horror-
stricken man paused , just within reach
of these awful coils , unable to move a
step farther.
Mr. Lamb groaned to himself. His
repertoire of music was becoming ex
hausted. Ho saw the revolver at tbo
Englishman's side , btlt ho dared not
speak to him to use it.
Already ho was playing "The Lost
Chord , " his last tune. Suddenly , like
a flash , n thought'came to him. 'With
out stirring a muscle ho began softly to
play '
"JOHNNY . . "
, GET Y.OUK OUN.
A look of hope and understanding
lightened the Knglishnmn's face and
slowly ho drew his weapon and care
fully cocked it.
A sharp report , a puff of smoke and
the hugo reptile lay squirming in the
convulsions of death.
The Englishman was thrown violently
to the ground as 'the ' gory body of the
still quivering serpent struck him.
But ho soon braced up on borne of his
Scotch whisky , used as an antidote
against snake bites. The pair then ex
amined the serpent and the English
man , who was somewhat of a naturalist ,
pronounced the serpent a half-grown
boa constrictor , which may have boon
brought up from Central America by a
fruit vessel , or have escaped from a
traveling circus. The reptile was
skinned and purchased by the English
man , and prooably ere now decorates
some English hallway as a memento of
the time when "I was-or in America ,
