"THE FOREST graph, RUTLAND RAILROAD AND UNION STATION Reason Why Company Appeals from Public Service Board's Order Shown in Petition.

Just why the Rutland Railroad Co. appeals from the order of the Public Service Commission in relation to the proposed union railroad station is shown in formal prayer for an order vacating such order, submitted to the supreme court by its attorney, Edwin W. Lawrence. The substance of the petition follows: To carry out the plan will result in large property damage and the slope of the embankment resulting from elevation of the tracks will cover an area of about 31-2 acres through the most valuable the yards of the Rutland Railroad and Central Vermont Railway Companies thereby rendering said land useless and inflicting great loss upon the Rutland Railroad Company. In addition to the expense estimated by the Comission and the land damages uncontradicted evidence introduced before the commission at the hearings upon which said judgment, order and decree was based, showed that it would cost the Rutland Railroad Company $10,000 more a year to operate its yard in said Burlington by reason of elevation of tracks and discontinuance of the track leading from the north end of the yard to the main line.

Appeal has been duly taken by Rutland Railroad Company from the said order, judgment and decree of the said commission. Many important questions will be raised upon this appeal among them being the constitutional questions as to the statues of said commission already under consideration by this court; the claim that the order is arbitrary and confiscatory and takes the property of the Rutland Railroad Company without due process of law that the commission has no powando make the said judgment, order and decree. WHEREFORE the Rutland Railroad Company prays that an order be made vacating said judgment, order and decree of the Public Service Commission and suspending the execution thereof pending the appeal and final determination of this cause. THEATER FOR GOTHAM YOUNG Only Playhouse In World Devoted Exclusively to Children Will Be Open Soon. New York.

children's theater, the only playhouse in the world devoted exclusively to the entertainment of children, will be opened in New York soon. The funds for the enterprise were provided by William K.

The auditorium, which is placed on the roof of the building erected by Mr. Vanderbilt and others for their new theater enterprise, will seat 800 children and has twelve boxes.

The wall decorations are in nursery style, and great arched windows looking out over Central Park give it an abundance of pure fresh air. Plays will be given in the afternoon beginning at 3:30 o'clock, an hour ventent for school children. A partial description of the theater WAB made public. The stage is low and has the general appearance of the stage of a toy theater in some garret. The seats are lower than those of the ordinary play house.

The frame of the proscenium is decorated with frieze. The base of this frieze is supported with bits of animal life Illustrative of the fables of Aesop and La Fontaine. This idea is carried out through the interior of the building, through eight pictures in cameo Het in the arches of the boxes.

Bodenhofer of this place. It WAS snake and measured 8 feet inches in length, and was as large around the middle of the body as the calf of man's leg. It put up hard until charmed by a house cat, when it was easily dispatched. The make was killed under unusual conditions. About 10 o'clock in the morning Mr.

Bodenhoter5s attention was attracted to his chicken yard by the unusual cackling and scared cries of his barnyard fowls. His attention was called to the inside of the chicken house by the angry clucking of setting hen. He peered hastily through an open chinking in the building and in the dim light saw an enormous black snake on the board on which the box nest with the setting hen sat. The hen valiantly defended her unhatched brood, meeting every attack with a flank movement of her beak. The fight- waxed warm for some minutes, but finally the hen gave a frightened cackle of defeat and flew off the nest, leaving the snake victorious with the spoils of the battle at his disposal.

Mr. Bodenhofer is a photographer, and it flashed -across his mind that the snake would make rather a unique picture on account of its size, if he could photograph it alive. The Interior of the chicken house was too dark to make successful exposure and he was in a quandary. Mr. Bodenhofer became active when he say his quarry escaping and raked him away from the hole with the hoe.

Then a happy idea crossed his mind. The next time Bodenhofer waited antil he had straightened up, then he caught the very end of the hoe handle and at arm's length threw the blade and crook of the hoe around the stifupright body of the reptile and started on run through the door toward the front yard, dragging the twisting, squirming monster with him. His wife, seeing him coming, screamed and slammed the kitchen door, badly frightened. Old Pete, the gray and white house cat, was sitting on the jamb of the door when it was slammed so hastily shut, and was thrown rudely and bodily down the kitchen steps and onto the ground. Ole Pete picked himself up, looking rather "fussed," Just Mr.

Bodenhofer untangled the snake from the bee and dropped it in an open space about 20 1 feet from the house and ran for his camera in the front room. Old Pete's attention was attracted to the snake and he started over to investigate. There was something in the beady, bright eyes of the snake that beld Pete spellbound. Pete shivered. He had never felt that way before.

The snake's bead slowly raised a few inches from the ground and began to move rhythmically from side to side. Pete's tall also rose sad tollowed the sinuous rhythmical movements of the diamond-shaped head. Mr. Bodenhofer by this time had located his camera to the front room and came running with ft, expecting to see the snake disappearing through the panels of the fence. The unnatal specticle which met his game Was 60 unlooked for that he, like the cat and snake, was held spellbound for a few seconds.

'His proteasional spirit broke the spell. What an ideal and perfect. ly natural pose. Hastily, but care fully, he advanced on the silent pair. The snake's head lowered to the ground, but the piercing ayes never left the cat.

The cat's tall dropped, bat the piercing giance never failed. Mr. Bodenhofer his tripod, fo cused, put in his plateholder and pressed the bulb. He carried his camera back to the house and returned. There was still no change in the attitudes of the reptile and the cat.

The hoe lying on the ground gested the end of the tableau; and taking up this weapon that he had used with such good resalts in the last encounter, he again advanced on the snake. Old Pete held him spellbound. Mr. Bodenhofer struck. The Brat lick broke the big snake's back.

With the sharp edge of the hoe he then chopped off its head. Old Pete stood calmly by and watched the exe. cation, then slowly walked off to a sunny place on the. porch, licked his paws and washed his face.
