DEMURIIEIIS OF CORRESPONDENTS Objections Offered to the Indictment of Newspaper Men. WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. Demurrers to the Indictments against the two newspaper correspondents, Messrs. John S. Shrlver, of the New Y'ork Mall and Express, and E. Jay. Edwards, of the Philadelphia Press who refused to answer questions as to the ource of their Information before the Senate Sugar Trust Investigation committee were' filed to-day by Judge A. J. Dittenhoeffer, their counsel. The day for the arguments in the case has not been set yet. The demurrers are alike In both cases. : Twenty-four separate grounds for objection are set up. These Include those heretofore made in behalf of. the brokers who refused to testify, and others particularly applicable to press'correspondents. The demurrers urge that the Senate resolution falls to show that the Investigation committee was empowered to try any Senator for disorderly conduct or that said inquiry was for the purpose of assisting the Senate 4 In any legislative or judicial action. It is also get up that to answer, the questions propounded to the correspondents would tend to criminate them and render them liable to a criminal prosecution, tine and penalty; would tend al3o to render them cuilty of a contempt of the Senate and of its members and Lable to prosecution, fine and penality; and would tend to degrade them in compelling ihera to disclose private, confidential and privileged communications. The point 13 also made thac the power to punish for refusing to make answer cannot be delegated by the Senate to this court or to any Jury ot the District of Columbia. The fourteenth objection Is as follows: 'That the laws under which the indictment was found are unconstitutional in that they violate the provision of the Constitution of the United States securing thw . people in their persons, houses, papers and titccts against unreasonable searches and seizures, and declaring that no person shall be compelled to lie a witness against himeelf.' Another objection is that the comXnittee waa appointed to investigate certain charges published in the New York end Philadelphia newspapers as set forth In said resolution, and that the article that Is alleged to have been published appeared .In another New York newspaper alter the raid publication in the New York and Philadelphia papers. It Is also urged that no -Fpeeific question was propounded that the -correspondents declined to answer, and that the questions which were propounded were answered and the answers accepted as . sufficient by the Senate committee. CtRREXCY SYSTEM IlEFORM. Chicago Plan May Be Vrtred Before the National CunKrfHR. WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-There Is a prospect that if Congress falls to take action upon the suggestions for the modification of the national currency system, which It is understood will be recommended by the President or the Secretary of the Treasury, there will be an effort to secure legislation looking to the appointment of a monetary commission on the lines of the bill suggested by the Commercial Club, of Chicago. This plan embraces the appointment by the President of a commission of nonpartisan character, whose duty will be to investigate the nature and working of ach kind of mon?y now in use and in their report Indicate the monetary standard which will bst rromoto the foreign and domestic trade of the United States and preserve the public credit at home and ubroail. Controller Eckels said to-night that the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury had ben drawn to this rlan. and that he (Mr. Eckels) would be inclined to favor the plan in ca?e It should become evidont that no direct remedial legislation could be obtained during the approaching sessfon. He Raid, however, that there had been no systematic effort to promote the scheme for a commission, and th In no event would It be pushed as long j there was any posFibiltty of securing more direct legislation for the Improvement of the financial system.

The colony of Natal, South Africa, abounds in boaconstrictors . and pythons. While they do not attack men, they are espeolally destructive of cattle, sheep and oxen, and for this reason parties are formed by hunters and natives to burn the bush and forest in order to exterminate the pests. Some of the soldiers at Pletermaritzburg were recently informed by a party of neighboring Zulus of the whereabouts of a huge python that had been destroying their oxen. The soldiers, with two hundred natives, started off to "capture the snake, and. having located it, the forest was fired for about a mile roundabout, an enormous pit having been previously dug in toward the center of the inclosed space. ,What with the burning brush and the shouts of the excited Kaffirs, they soon drove the reptile toward the pit, where, closing in upon him, they forced him into it. The python proved to be of enormous size, being thirty-two feet long and fortyone Inches in circumference. It appeared to be quite dazed, having Just eaten a young ox that had been let into the inclosnre. An enormous cage, with iron bars half way down the front. - having been constructed, the snake was got out of the pit and taken into Maritzburg in the cage. Here it is kept on exhibition at the barracks, and 4s fed twice a week, two Kaffir goats at each meal. It will not eat anything that has already been killed for it, preferring to kill lt3 food itself. The goats are thrust through a small door at the end of the cage, alive, when, fixing Its great eyes upon them, the snake -suddenly lunges forward and crushes them In Its powerful fold. After covering them with a thick slime about an inch deep, before swallowing. It flattens them, out by squeezing them, and then devours them almost at a gulp. After -this the python goes to sleep and does not wake until It is time to feed; again. -A gentleman in Maritrburg owns a python that hai been confined in a cage for over thirteen months. During this period the snake has not eaten a mouthful of food of any kind, although every conceivable delicacy of likel5 snake diet, such as frogs, birds, rats and meat, has been set to tempt Its appetite. Its fait seems not to be broken, and the owrtir has at last aban-. cloned the ida of coaxta the colly prisoner with food. It drinks a very small quantity of water. In a dormant state this fasting would ' be better understood, for in this state reptiles of this description have been known to exist for periods of eighteen months, or even three years.

The women who are teaching In the public schools in Philadelphia are asking for more wages. They should not ask in vain. As l rule, they have especially fitted themselves for the profession they follow. The schoolma'am of the oldei: time, almost as unlettered as the children she essayed to teach, is only a reminiscence. The woman whose best hours are spent with fifty or sixty children, not aa their high-chaired tyrant,but as. the earnest, enthusiastic wellwisher the woman whose lessons require careful preparation, and who makes every pupil her daily study the woman who has so much to do with our future citizenscan no longer be measurec by the standard of former attainment. Years of her life have been given in making herself ready for her work. Sh must still devote many of her hours to reading and attending lectures in order to keep herself abreast with the times. She is In school phraseology "the assistant." but with parents and children she Is "the teacher." Her compensation in Philadelphia In comparison with that of like workers In several other cities Is small, and she is but asking for a hire worthy of her labor. Should her request be passed over unheeded It would be a crying shame and a dishonor to the city whose children she gives her time and service. . Until Justice shall have been done to the 'women who are the hardest workers in their profession further advances in the salaries paid for higher but less laborious service would only add to the weight of injustice. Equal pay for equal work Is a rale which should be lived up to without regard to sex, color or condition. Stories of Dr. McCosh. Philadelphia Record. Many stories of the much-loved Doctor are going the rounds. Before the .extension of the proctor system in Princeton he was called upon frequently to suppress over-enthusiastic students. One night a merry party was assembled In a room, making a great noise. Dr. McCo?h hurried over to the dormitory and found the room. He rapped but received no reply. A second time he hammered on the door and demanded admittance. "Whose there?" It's me. President McCosh." "Y'ou're a liar," was the reply; "if you were old Jimmy, you would say, 'It's I " There were many lively scenes in the old chapel under the Doctor's administration One morning he announced a hymn, readlnc the first line. " "A wandering sheep am I" "Bah!" bleated an undergraduate. , The Doctor paused, then resumed: "A wandering sheep am I" A chorus of.bahs greeted th announcement. " Dr. McCosh severely lectured the students on the impropriety of their behavior, and began, "A wandering sheep" when an almost unanimous bleat drown-d his voice He paused, and then. read the second lice of the hymn. c A Very Natural Question.
