1 i DUITED THE BITE A RATTLESNAKE. Jrot Bejer, tho Curator of the Tulano TJniTersiiy Museum, gibmlti His ringer to the Bite of a Baby Battler for the Purpose of Testing the Theory of Inooulation. The Details of an Interesting? and Dangerous Scientific Experiment JUade Yesterday. In the Interest of science. Prof.

George Beyer yesterday allowed himself to be bitten by a young rattlesnake, in order to ascertain If a person can be inoculated with the venom of aerpenta. Prof. Beyer i the curator of the Tulane ilaseum and has for many years made a special study of various serpents. Yesterday morning he made the daring test. In his private studio In the museum, the professor baa a number of snakes.

From this number he selected a box containing female ground rattler and six serpents, which were born some days ago. There was do one to see bJm bitten and few people were Informed of the occurrence. From the baby Snakes he selected a good sized one and began teasing it for the purpose of maddening it and hare the reptile bite him. Uy squeezing its little body he made the baby rattler angry and la a few moments It directed its fangs to he tormentor. Prof.

Beyer placed his little finger of the right hand within Striking Distance of the little enake and In a Second was bitten and well bitten, at that. Prof Beyer coolly placed the baby rattier In its box again and it 'crawled straightway to its mother. The professor did not apply any antidote and continued on in hid work and waited developments. Prof. Beyer a short while after this left Ills office and visited several of his friends at the board of health, where be informed them of the occurrence.

Many were aur and thought it was a rash thing do, but the good natured professor sim ply smiled at them and remarked that if able he would probably, in a week; or so, allow himself to be bitten again. It was there that Picayune reporter first learned of the daring feat of Prof. Beyer. In company with a medical friend of Prof. Beyer, the reporter visited the museum to interview the scientific Student.

The professor was seated at the desk in hie studio making some memo anda. Of course the feat of the scientist was the chief topic of discussion and the professor courteously gave all the details of the affair. The little finger is swollen to double Its original sise and Is quite red. In tome respects the wound resemble a bee sting, but the professor stated that It painful to the touch. Ue talked un concernedly of the matter and made no complaint of the severe pains which foi lowed his experiment.

Prof. Beyer gave his story as above, is to how he was bitten by th4 ground rattler, the scientific name of which is tits Crotaiophorua miliarias. "You see I nave thought of this for jong time and decided to try the matter to day," oegaa me proieor jwmuj. tat 1 will. In the course of a week.

The bite of one. two cayi old, caused but very little pain and so swelling, yet the sensation of the bite wis tne same.

President Maury said yesterday that he very mnch pleased with the results and that the work was now progressing with perfect satisfaction. The receipts from the Jndah Hart Una so far have been phenomenal while the company was aware that the new cars wottd naturally came a big boom, he thought the traffic would hold np right along to a very high figure. On Sunday the receipts on the line were nearly $900 and the number of trips made by each car was large. The System works very satisfactorily. Secretary Ford was asked regarding the method to be need In running the cars on Magazine street.

He said that the franchise provided foT a single track en Magazine street and that was what would be put down and the cars would run as they have been running. They would go nj on Camp street and come down on Magazine. A cbange in the way of running on Camp street will be made. The op cars will go on the right hand and cars that come down Camp will ran on the right also. Heretofore the cars went np on the left side and came down on the, right, which was unoeal and awkward.

The work of stringing the wires on Camp street is progressing satisfactorily. Electrician Wllfard said yesterday that the idea that the cross wires on Camp street were higher than others was la a measure correct. On Canal and Camp they are 22 feet, while on the more remote streets, where wooden poles, are used, tbey are 21 feet and inches. There has been a rumor on the street for several days regarding the reorgani ration of the directory of the Traction Company. The original story was that there were complaints on account of the voting of shares to the Hart interest for services in organizing the syndicate, bat President Maury and Director Farrar de nied thto and said the tronoie grew out of the claim of Messrs.

Seligman, McDonald and others for reimbursement for certain stock riven to New York bankers for services in organizing the syndicate and to which some Stockholders objected. Recently It has been stated on the best authority that at a meeting to be held at no great distance in the futnre, the di rectorv will be reorganized and that New Orleans bankers will take the place of the New York men in that body, president Maury was asked to make a statement resrardlnr this vesterdav. but said be did not wish to do so. He could not tell what the result would be yet, but the difference waa In a fair way to be satisfactorily eettled. WThen the meeting was to be held he could not say, but It would be 1 wrtie1 A Picayune reporter called on Maurice Hart yesterday afternoon and asked him if he would aey what the attitude of affair was.

Mr. Hart ssid that he advised the papers to go to the source from which the story orlgl TMttsri Th affair waa of no concern to the nubile and It was a matter for those hn had their monev Invested. It was suggested by the reporter that the public naturally took an Interest In the affairs of large corporations which had public privileges granted to them, hut r.

the There Is a movement on focrt, which. Is at present In its lnclplency, to file a suit against the government and test the validity of the contract feature of the bounty law. The greatest obstacle which seems to be In the way of this move Is the inabl'lty of any Individual or cor poration to sue the government, without the conaent of congress, and whether this could be scoured is a question which many planters are now cogitating over, The matter had been talked over at length among those planters in town and those around the Sugar Exchange. and though no definite conclusion bas as yet been arrived at. It looks as If the proposition wiu meet enough ravor to get np a test case.

It was reported that one of the largest planters in the state would be called upon to enter suit ana tne oiners would make up a por.e to defray the expenses. The best 'ea al talent in the country would be called into service, ana the case made in every way a cause celebre. The gentleman referred to was called upon and asked about the matter, bat he said that it was still in an em bryotlo state, and he did not know what would be done. He said that a suit certainly ought to be entered, but whether he would go in with the general movement or singly he did not know ss yet. He was waiting for the president to take some action on the biU, expressing the faintest hope that he wonld veto It.

As soon as It became a law. If It did, snd that seemed pretty certain, then would be the time to take action, and he was pretty sure that some action would be taken. The planters are not going to be caught napping, however. Nearly all of them have taken precautions in case there should be any possibility of their getting the bounty that they will not be left through any Inobservance of the government regulations. The licensee have all been taken out.

this being necessary before the 1st of July, according to the law. Provision is being made to have the sugar weignea ana testea ry sworn men. and there will be any number of witnesses, and the papers will be filed at the internal reventie office, the same as In the past. Ex Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Louis J. Souer has been agitating this question, and i formulating a plan tor tne wetgning ana testinar of sugar according to the gov ernment regulations, and while It is yet little previous.

It Is meeting witn much, favor among the planters, who realize that tbe McKJnley law Is prac tlcallv sonerseded by the new tariff bill. and If they expect to get any bounty they must take every precaution to observe the regulations under which the bounty had been paid previously. 100 good clgarmakers wanted by "Wallls Co.

Bright and early yesterday morning she presented herself In the custom house. in the office of Captain Matt O'Brien. sopervlslng Inspector of steam Teasels, snd for two hours snd a quarter she stood the most rigid examination, question and cross questioning, not only before Captain O'Brien, but also before Messrs.

Yonogblood snd Baker, "local Inspectors. It was one of the most difficult snd thor ough examinations to which any applicant for a master's license has ever been sub jected, for Mrs. Leathers was a woman. ana neitner sne nor tne examining ooara wanted tbe imputation to be cast that because she was a woman she was 'railroaded through."

it was impossible for the examiners to pnssle her in their questions, as how a vessel should be guided, la storm or sunshine, wind or calm, in np current and down current, or In any emergency that might arise.

Robert Goelet's library, snd is probably the only one in existence. In Mrs. Potter Palmer's dining room there sre two magnificent tapestry pictures, tbe one a girl feeding peacocks; the other representing autumn In the figure of a perfectly devel oped girl carrying a sheaf of wheat under ner arm.

The correct coat for the stylish girl to padded about the shoulders like a man's.

By tbe way, how Is it that If a woman puts just the least bit of cotton anywhere In her bodice she Is made to feel that ahe is doing something dreadful, while all this time tailors have simply stuffed men's coats at the shoulders, back and chest with wadding. The stylish sirl's coat this fsll fits over the chest like a man's, the line of the figure Is not followed at all, and straight ness and flatness Is the result of the cut, with fine breadth of chest and shoulders.
