An informal HONE ON NEWSPAPER London Times Made Victim of Another Yarn About Emerald Isle, Which Habit Has Already Cost Nearly $5,000,000. ‘An Associated Press despatch trom London says that the London Times bas been hoaxed by a man who claimed to have liberated anakes in Ireland to test the truth of the legend that no snekes can live on the Emerald Isle. It haa been learned that no such man as C. R. Warwick, the informant of the Times, has béen living at the hotel from which he wrote his letter. The Times made no investigation. It is notorious in England that the Times will print the most preposterous yarns about Ireland. This predeliction cost the paper close to $5,000,000 in the Jive! actions growing out of the Parnell for- geries and led to the suicide of Piggott. The joker who hoaxed the Times this time wrote from the Midland Hotel, {n Manchester, saying that he had come from the United States on the steamship Celtic and proceeded immediately to Blarney Castle, where he liberated four- teen good-sized rattlesnakes, ‘“Mme,"" he wrote, “will tell if St, Patrick's edict is @ myth or not.” In commenting on the ‘Times referred to it as a and called upon the local authori- ties to pay attention to the matter.
