The flrbt open air concert of the season

Sunday sees hundreds of people resort to
the park to while away the afternoon , but
the concert , added to the wonderful attrac

ten-fold. The worklngman with his family

their carriages , were all there and spent a
delightful afternoon , loafing on the grass
under the shade of the trees and listening
to the delightful music of the band. It Is

SNAKE SKINS AS NECKTIES.
The Cuticle of ii Tlilrty Vcur-Old Now it 1'nrt
of Correct Jfeokttcnr.
Just sevcrnl shades removed from the
chameleon fad Is the Idea of wearing snnko
skins for neckties , but the fashion Is grow
ing In Baltimore. It promises to become
quite the proper caper to be seen In Im
maculate morning suit of the latest London
cut , with the tanned cuticle ot n three-foot
reptile neatly tied around the snowy
"choker" collar , or whatever other style of
linen neckwear happens to be the rage.
The fad will never become generally violent ,
says the New York Recorder , tor fine snake
skins come high , and the crop may thin out
so ns to let the West Virginians , who make
n business of catching the possessors of
variegated outer coverings , create a corner
In the market nnd coin n fortune. To bo In
the swim nowadays and have the swagger
tiling In neckties n Baltimore man must
not only wear a snakcskln , but the cuticle
of n "rattler" of about 30 years of age. The
peculiar color of the- rattler when he has
passed In his checks and gone to snake ce
lestial spheres , Is what makes the skin more
valuable than when his fangs are still doing
the poison business at the old stand.
The necktie must be that of a snake of
age , standing and family , for a young scion
of the house of rattlers doesn't seem to pos
sess all of the qualifications as to color and
durability of hide the head of the house can
lay claim to. Presumably It's because a
snake ot three decades or so has been
through all of the different kinds of dissi
pation known to the reptile world , and his
physical hide Is cognizant of no more com
punction than his moral nature. Then an
old rattler Is generally larger than a young
chap , and n tie about a yard In length Is
bound to bring more In the market than a
whipper-snapper snake could show before he
reaches his majority. No other kind of a
snake Indigenous to this section of the coun
try would answer the purpose half as well
as u rattler , because but few varieties at
tain his length and Falstafflan girth , ex
cept the copperhead and black snake , and
their colors , while brilliant enough during
life , are not of the right shade after the
tnnndr has had his Innings. A copperhead
skin assumes too much of a dull brown to
harmonize with odd Ideas In neckwear , and
the black fellow well , his hide might
answer for a seedy Individual's mourning
tie but nothing else. The rattler's color
when all the fight has been taken out of
him and his remains have been subjected
to the process that prepares them for men's
furnishing use. Is something on the very
dull gold or ecru order. The black rings
show distinctly and they lend the odd effects
that has so captivated the swells. Then
when a back and lining have been put on
the skin the tie Is ready for use , but they
are worth an even $3 any day , counting
$ > 50 for the skin , which Is the average
price of a rattler of thirty years' standing.
Including all the trouble , the catcher and
tanner combined have had to take.
GENERAL KETCHTJM'S PET.
IlcmllnK Off a Veto of a Vulilte llutlillng
Itlll.
Among his many admirable qualities , says
the Washington Posit , Congressman Dunphy
Is a charming story teller , and many a mid
night supper nt Chamberlain's has been en
livened by his charming stories , apropos of
which Is the following :
In the FIfty-llrst congress Mr. Dunphy
had for his neighbors both tenants of the
Cherokee Strip and General Ketchum of
New York , who represented , among other
Interesting communities , the city of Hud
son. - It had been the general's custom
during the many years of public service
as congressman to Introduce , and uni
formly fail to pass , a certain bill appro
priating $300,000 for the erection of a pub
lic building at Hudson. This measure was
the general's one ewe lamb In legislation ,
and he went back to his constituency year
after year sad at heart at Its , repeated failure
to become a law. Uut at last , In the Fifty-
first congress , he steered the bill safely
through all the dangerous shoals and cur
rents , and finally It bad actually passed both
houses of congress. The general was In an
ecstacy. lie had gained the crown of his
ambition. But Just when his felicitations
were liveliest he began to hear disagreeable
rumors of an Impediment at the white house ,
and one day he leaned over his seat toward
Mr. Dunphy , and. "Dunphy , " he said , In his
shrill , tcnor whlsper , "do you know , Dunphy ,
that I believe the old man's a-goln' to veto
that there bill o' mine ? "
" " exclaimed Dunphy Incredulously
"No , , ,
"you don't say ? "
"Yes , I do , Dunphy , I think he's a-goln to
do It. "
"Who says so ? "
'
"Well , a lot of them' fellows who all the
time knows things. "
"Well , why don't you go see him ? "
"That's what I'm goln' to do. "
The next morning the general arrived nt
the house late , and with an expression of
countenance lugubrious If not exactly tragic.
"Well , general , have you seen him ? "
asked Dunphy.
"No , " said the general , shortly.
"Why , not ? "
"Well , I went up there , nn' I see Halford ,
an1 I says , s'l. 'Llge , ' s'l , 'what's a-goln'
to happen to my bill ? ' s'l. Ho says , s'he ,
Tin feared It's struck a snag , ' s'he. 'What
' ' ' ' s'he. 'Well ' s'l 'I want

OTTO'S COLON-Y < OF WHEELS.
i a
Tlio KliiR of Ilinnrlft i .Wry of Whirling
MolloiKi
'
Dispatches announce ( bat the upper hotuc
of Davarla has decided" , t'u ' ] depose the Insane
King Otto and Install,1'r , iicc Lultpold , who
Is mtlng ns regent nt'tiirs.'fiit. ' Otto's mental
condition Is dark ami terrible , lie lives
since his accession , us he Mad lived before ,
shut up In the small pnluce of Purstenrcld ,
about two hours distant from Munich. Of
late years his malady han taken the form
of stupor , though there are still occasional
outbreaks of violence. There was from the
beginning no prospect of recovery or even of
Improvement in hla case , although it was
foreseen that his merely animal existence
might continue for a long time. He occu
pies a suite of apartments on the ground
Hoer , the doors of which , ns well us the out
side door leading Into the garden , nre always
left open tn the daytime , as a closed door
Immediately excites his rage. He seems
suspicious of restraint , nnd lilx attendants
conceal aa much as possible nn appearance
of authority over his movements. Once he
broke all the front windows of his apart
ments , and since then the glass hns been
protected by wire , and otherwise there Is
nothing to Indicate that a lunatic Inhabits
the premises. The rooms nre handsomely
furnished , and everything that can amuse the
patient is promptly supplied.
The king Is always dressed In black. His
beard Is very long and thick , and he will
not nllow It to be trimmed. He often
washes his face nnd hands , but can seldom
be persuaded to take a full bath. He Is ex
tremely fond of cigarettes and smokes nbout |
thirty n day enough In Itself to make him
crazy and keep him so. Kvery time ho i
lights a cigarette he burns a whole box of {
matches , nnd seems to enjoy the noise and
name. He often walks out In the park , , but
Is very unwilling to drive out , probably be
cause it annoys 111 in to be looked nt by the j
people In the road. The sensational re
ports which appear occasionally In the pa
pers concerning King Otto are for the most
part false. The truth Is , he has no marked
desire for anything. His gaze Is generally
fixed on vacancy , and he docs not appear
to recognize even his servants , excepting an
old \\oniun who has charge of the silver.
Ho has known her all his life ; she used to
carry him In her arms when he was a baby ,
and It is touching to see how the last faint
raya of his fading intelligence rests on her
alone. When he sees her he calls her name
in a loud tone , and orders her to bring him
a glass of beer , or whatever he may happen
to think of , but he soon forgets what he
has said and relapses Into his usual state
of apathy.
Two -of the most prominent physicians of
Munich arc in attendance on alternate weeks ,
and every Sunday the director of the insane
asylum visits the palace to examine him
and make the medical report. At rare In
tervals the king speaks coherently to his
attendants , and it is said that soon after
his accession to the throne he remarked to a
lackey , "Henceforth you must address me as
your majesty. " Butnthls story does not ap
pear to be well founded , and It Is certain
that when Princess Theresa went from the
death-bed of the qucten-mother to apprise the
son of his loss , he showed no signs of com
prehension , and was unmoved by the grief
of the princess , whose tears were doubtless
more for the living than for the dead.
Although KingOtIO Is unable to recognize
his relatives , attendjfntslor friends , and re
mains for hours motionless In his padded
room , he has lucid , jntqrvnta. Not a great
while ago , he sudd n 'Vecognlzed his at
tendants and became cognizant of his lofty
position. A cavaliei' about the castle asked
him 1 ( he did not \vlli to sluw hlmsolt to
his subjects In Munich.
"Gladly , glmlly , would I go to Munich. "
he replied , with n look of Irrepressible * ad-
nrM In his eyes , "but my people wish to
see a Well king , and I mil nick. Yen , yes ,
yes , 1 am sick , nnd these tcirlblo fancies
will not leave me "
Upon another occasion ho demanded sud
denly that his attendants take him to hlx
capital. In order to avoid an attack of violent
lent excitement , probably in case of a re
fusal , a court carriage was summoned to
the ensile steps , The king , ono of the phy
sicians , nnd an attendant clad In royal
livery , to avoid suspicion , entered the coach ,
which started on Its journey , hooking out
of the window , the king saw a meadow al
most covered with variously lined flowers.
Ho expressed n desire to gather a bouquet
to present to his mother , nnd the coachman
stopped while he plucked the flowers. Hut
the work was too tiring , nnd he returned to
the carriage completely exhausted. Ho was
taken back to the castle and placed In bed.
When he awoke the following morning his
reason was again clouded , nnd he had en
tirely forgot the Journey to Munich ,
AND IT WAS WATER.

"Keen at home vis.ting the folks , " said
the young ninn to the New York Herald
reporter. "Well , I didn't stay long , for
the people ot Maine object to drinking , and
my habits are not strictly temperate. "
"Clot n Jag , " observed the reporter.
"Not at all , sir. I don't drink anything
but water. It was my llrsl glnss of water
at homo which got mo In trouble. You
know that my father Is n strict teetotaler.
Never drank even a mug of elder. Well ,
I used to be that way myself. 1 went
homo after nn absence of three years. Ar
rived at the old houxc at dinner time. All
the old china and s Iver had been brought
out In my honor , and there was a Maine
dinner about to be served that would have
made many n housewife envious to see.
" 'I trust , lllchard , ' said father , 'tlmt In
all the years you have been from home you
have not touched that which brings sorrow
row to so many homes , deprives the poor
man's finiily of bread and sows broadcast
the seeds of misery and want. '
" 'Not much , ' I bald. Then , sir , In less
than two minutes afterwards I raised a
glass of water to my lips , blew across the
top of it , said 'Hero's luck , ' and tojsed It
off with that grace and abandon which you
know so well. That's what spoiled my
vacation. "
