The professor, who has been em- ployed in a dime musenm in San Francisco, was on his way to New York and had witn him a large blue box with holes in the lid, from which came a peculiar odor.

After taking several more driuks the pro- fessor went to bed. An hour later shouts for help were heard in his room and one of the guests bursted open the door. Lying on the bed, his face black from suffocation and his eyes bulging from his head, lay the snake charmer. Around the limbs and body was tightly coiled the python, its diamond-shaped head waving to and fro in anger. The smuller snakes had disappearcd under the bed, where they were twisting and squirm- ing in a heap. With great effort the steel wrenched loose and the prof movement. fung the serpe quickiy closed the lid. The smaller snakes were easily captured. The professor had lett the box open while drunk and the big serpent had crawled into the bed in search of warmth, Belmont probubly rolled on it and this excited its anger, HAS MRS, CARTE renl The fact has just cowme out that David Belasco, the }u ywright, sailed for Earope Wednesday of last week in company with Mrs, Leslie Carter.

ATKIN —_——— NATIONAL REGISTRATION, A Matter Prompted by the New Or- leans Affair, WasniNaron, April 28.—<[Special Telegram o Tie Bee.)—At the department of justice ingenuity is at work to establish a system of national registration which will make as nearly impossiole as may be any future question of citizenship, such as has arisen 1n connection with the Italjan incident at New Orleans. Solicitor General Taft was asked this afternoon if it would be practicable to keep a register of the persons naturalized in this country at the department of just that the federal government, congr courts or any private citizen could without or expense determine the question of citizenship of any oue olaiming to be or not have been naturalized. ““Yes,” smid the solicitor general, “such a thing 18 not only practicabie, but a'good sug- gestion, and I think it should be suggested to congress, It could be accomplished by mak- ing it compulsory for officers wio administer naturalization papers to forward & synopsis or memorandum of the personal statement of the citizen naturalized to this department, ‘We could issue the officers a uaiform card of small size ana with brief blanks to be filled and these could be filed here in a compact and permanent way 8o that any one at a moment's notice could ascertain whetherany person had or had not been naturalized, and f so whon, where and something as to nationality, birth, hge and so forth. It could be keptin form similar to the military records being kept on catds at the war department by Colonel Ainsworth, It would be a great convenience, but it would be necessary to make 1t very obligatory upon court officers to forward the names of all who may be naturalized in every placo hereafter, together with other informa- ion necessary, as court officers ave negligent, I have found. It could be made oblizatory upon these officors to forwatd the statement in every instance and then make it a neces- sary part of the naturalization. Then the government would have at its fingers’ ends, s0 to speak, the information to determine upon & moment's notice and beyond doubt the question of citizensbip in all cases. It is important for very many reasons,” Nebraska, lowa and Dakota Pensions.

' BRITISH BUDGET SUBMITTED, Chancellor CGoschen Presents it in House of Commons, the LARGE INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR. Substance of the Financial State- t—A Scheme for Establish- ing Free Edacation in Eng- land - Not Satisfacto [Conyright 191 hy Tames Gor Loxvoy, April 23.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tnr Brr.|—Goschen in- troduced his budget this afternoon in a speech universally pronounced to be the most diffuse and tedious ever heard on a similar occasion. Tho facts to be stated were unusually simple and brief, yet it took Goschen nearly three hours to lay them be- fore the house. The substauce of the financial statemont is that nearly £900,500,000 will bo required to meot this year's expendi- turoes, a great increass over last year which Goschen attempted to justify. He was ovliged to admit that consuls aro declining in popularity, which he regrotted as showi a cortain decay of patriotism. He took no account of the decline in interest which bas compelled thousands of persons to seck othe investments. He suggoested vaguely that the colonies ought to contribute more to natic ornameuts, but judiciously rofrained from proposing any scheme with that ond in view. His bare suggestions wero received with manifest coldness by the house. After much beating of air he announced that he would havo an estimated surplus of noarly two millions, all of which would be absorbed by establishing a schemo of free edacation, to come into operation Septembor 1 next The details are not yet forthe but the plan will cause great disappointment to income taxpayers who have looked for some relief from their burdens, The budget aims at popularity but, though it may please the parents of a cortain class, it will not satisfy the bulk of the people. Conservatives who opposed free education in 1558 will be once more obliged to swallow their ple and altogether it 1s likely that the dificulties of the ministry will be considerably increased by their undertaling to carry this subject through the pr i In th mons, Loxnox, April 23 —The budget was sub- mitted to the commons this afternoon by Goschen, chancellot of the exchequer Ho saln there was an excess of £1,136,000 over the surplus which he suzgested in 1890 He added, however, that there was no certainty that the progressive increase would be main- tained, as the needs of Ireland had increased the expenditure by £200,000, No less than £000,000 of the surplus arose from the inter- nal revenue duty on alcoholic spirits. There had been an increase in the consumption during the year of 18,000,000 gallons of home made spirits. Tobacco had given an increase of £456,000 and beer of £375, 000. Referring to the reduction ¢ the national debt Goschen sad that taking into consideration the diminished lia- bilities on terminable annuities the reauction during the year was, £6,512,000,- making the total reduction over £30,000,000 during the me the present administration has been in offico. [Cheers.] Alluding to the duties on alcohol, Goschen repudiated the idea that tho government was pledged to carry out the scheme of the purchase of public house li- censes.
