ROosevelt's Bear Story.

From Theodore RoOseyelt's account of
Still hunting the Grizzly" in the Jane
Century, we quote the following: "Sure
enough there were two bears (Which aft
erward proved to be an old she and a
nearly full grown cub travelling up the
bottom Of the valley, much too far for
us to shoot. Grasping our rifles and
throwing of our hats, we started of az
hard as we could run diagonally down
the hillside, so as to cut them off. 1t
was some little time before they saw us,
when they made of at numbering gal
lOp up the valley. 1t would seem impOs-
sibls to run into two grizzlies In the
epen, but they were going up hill and
we down, and moreover the old one
kept stopping. The cub would forge
ahead and could probably have escped
US, but the mother now and then stop
ped to sit down en- her launches and
look round at as, when the cub would
run back to her. The upshot was that
we got ahead Of them, when they turned
and went straight up one hillside as We
ran straight down the other behind them.
BY this time l was pretty nearly done
out, for running along through the sage
brush was most exhausting work, and
Merrifeld kept gaining on me and was
we'll in front. Just AZ he disappeared
over bank almost at the top OF the val
ley, tripped over bush and fell full
length. When got up knew could
never make up the ground l had lost,
and besides could hardly run any longer.
Mortified was out Of sight below, and
the bears ware laboring up the steep hill
side directly opposite and about 800
Yards off; SO l sat down and began to
shoot over Msrri6eld's head, aiming Mt
the big bear. She was going very stead
lily, and in a straight line. and each bull
let sent up puff of dust where it struck
the dry soil, 80 that | could keep cor
recting my aim, and the fourth ball
crashed into the old bears flank. She
lurchsd heavily forward, but recovered
herself and reached the timber, while
Merrifield, who had put on a squirt, was
not far behind.
Il toiled up the hill at sort of trot,
fairly gasping and sOhbing for breath (;
but before got to the top heard coup
10 Of shots and shout. The old bear
had turned as soon as she was in the
timber and came toward Merrifled; but
he gave her the death wound by firing
into her chest, and then shot at the
young one, knocking it over. When /
came up he was just walking toward
the latter to finish 1t with the revolver,
but it suddenly jumped up as lively as
ever and made off at a great paee-for it
was nearly full grown. 1t was impos-
sibls to fire where the tree trunks were
30 thick, but there was small opening
across which it would have to pass, and
collecting all my energies made last
run, got into position, and covered tho
bear appeared fred, and it turned q
dozen somsrsauIts dswnhill, rolling over
and over; the ball had struck 10 near
the tail and had ran ged forward through
the hollow of the body. Fash Of us had
thus given the fatal wound to the bear
into which the other had frsd the FIRST
bullet"

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one. of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with Ayers SARsApA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used

The Storm and Cold Wave Signals
FiyiDg-The Indications for To-day.
The long-cOntinuei spell of fine weather
made yesterday seem all the drearier.
Threatening clouds overhung the city all
day, and early in the afternoon slight
shower fell.
About ) O'clock p. m. the signal service
station was notified 10 hoist off shore
signals. A few minutes later another
dispatch was received saying: ''Hoist
cold wave signal. The temperature will
fall from 10 to 20 deg. during the next "a
hours"
In the Ohio valley northwest of this
section snow was reported in the after
noon, aud the coolest cold wave that has
swept this way since last winter was
moving southeast. At Atlanta the
temperature was A deg. at p. m. The
of shore signals were ordered up in
anticipation of a stiff westerly breeze.
II was this wind which was said to be
bringing the cold wave in this direction.
and it was expected that the wind would
reach a velocity of - miles an hour. At
midnight the mercury was falling, and
there was prospect that to-day would
be the coolest since last spring. Of-shOre
signals were also hOisted along the coast
south Of this port. The Indications for
today are: Fair weather, northwesterly
winds, becoming variable, colder weather
in the morning, followed by slowly rising
barometer.

New system of signals.

The Milwaukee & Northern Railway
Company has made practical test of a
new system of train signals that has
proved so satisfactory in its results that
it has been introduced in all passenger
trains. 1t consists OF electric knobs in
each coach, connecting by means of small
insulated wires, with a wire passing
through the bell-cOrd connecting with the
engine. On the locomotive the wire is at
tached, in some instances, to a small
whistle, which is sounded by touching
the button in the coach as an electric
dOor-bell is rung. In other cases, the
connection on the engine is made with an
ordinary electric alarm-bell. The cleo
tricity for the circuit is generated from
small batteries carried in the coaches, sim
liar to those used in telephone service.
The Milwaukee & Northern is the only
company in the West that has adopt
ed the system.

MULHATToN ECLIPsED.
A Snake so Large as to Resemble the
frank of Tree

The Cincinnati Times Stars correspon-
dent at williamsburg in Clermont county,
O.,reports that the great snake, which some
years ago dispOrted itself in the placid
waters of Hartman's mill pond, about
three miles north of that place, has again
appeared on the scene of his former
haunts, and is spreading CONSERVATION
among the denlzens of that locality.
He says this snake is evidently the last
survivor of some Of the mighty serpent
tribes which flOurished during that period
OF gigantic things known as the carbon
ferrous age. Very few people have had
the good fortune to see il, and those few
have been so terribly shocked and startled
that their descriptions are widely differ
ent. One OF the most trustworthy wit
nesses is David Brown, and old resident
OF Clermont county, who was driv-
ing toward Batavia a week or two
ago, just at twilight. Suddenly his
horse reared up on his hind legs
and stopped, trembling violently. Mr..
Brown looked ahead and there he saw
stretched across the road what he con-
ceived to be the trunk of a fallen tree.
But even as he looked the fallen tree
began to move and the alarmed farmer
saw that it was tremendous serpent.
1t iazily dragged itself into the under
brush. Meanwhile, Mr.. Browns horse
snorted with fright, and wheeling around
dashed off in an agony of terror.
From all accounts the snake is about
forty feet long and has head like that of
land turtle. 1t has a tOndness for
water, which is more than can be said of
The average ClermOnt county liars, who
take delight in adding ornaments to this
true snake story.

AT THE THEATRE.

PASSIONS Slave" Before an Appre-
clatIve Audience Last Night.
Passions Slave" was the attraction at
toe Theatre last night. Mr.. John A.
Stevens, the author of the piece, appeared
in the title role, and he and his company
presented the play in manner that
pleased the audience very well. AS a
play, PASSIONS Slave" will compare
iavOrably with the best Of melodramas.
The story is American, and the plot,
while not startlingly original, is clear
and interesting.
The skill Of the scenic artist has been
drawn upon to give effect, and the settings
are quite pretty. The prison, ocean, and
winter scenes were especially good.
The central figure In the play is Mr.
Stevens Having written the part Of
manuel De FOeV for himself, it could
only be expected that il would suit him.
His rendition was an artistic carryingout
Ofthe authors conception. The first part OF
the play was the most highly appreciated
down stairs. The fun is put in the latter
part Of the piece. Messrs. Cotton and
Shelton as captain" and "Golight'
respectively We're tolerablv funny and
nOisily applauded. J. W. Thompson acted
the heavy williams part 30 well that the
audience seemed to bear him genuine
hate. Miss Emily Lytton was very good
as mamie Briscoe," and displayed con-
siderable sympathetic spirit.

repeated at the matinee tomorrow, and
