Bounced by a Grizzly.
Houston Press.

All of the hands at the sawmill on
the head Of Alder creek have receiv-
ed the "grand bounce but not from
their employers. It happened last
Thursday night in the following man
ner: The sawmill building is tenn
porary structure consisting only Of
timbers covered by slab roof, the
sides and ends of the building being
open. Late last Thursday night while
the boys were sleeping, comfortably
rolled up in their blankets, with no
light to illumine the interior Of the
mill, save that which shone from the
stars, a hungry bruin, of the bald
faced grizzly species, entered the mill
and placing his nose beneath the
sleeper nearest him rolled the uncon-
scious individual over. The suddenly
awakened sleeper, who, by the way,
is a son Of Erin, thinking he had been
disturbed by his bedfellow, rose in
his wrath and smote the grizzly ter
|rible blow on the head, straight from
the shoulder. At this bruin reared
upon his hind feet and uttered such
loud growls that they echoed and re-
echoed throughout the canyon. The
first growl of the bear brought oul
| Irish friend square upon his feet. The
next instant he was tearing down the
road yelling, "run boys, run, the divi
is after yeas and may the saints pre-
sarve yer souls" In about three sec

sad accident which occurred about 5
o'clock in the afternoon Of Tuesday.
He met two boys on horseback near
Sweedville just the other side of

when severe thunder storm came
up, and the lightning struck and
killed both the horses the boys were
riding, and completely stripped one
Of the boys of his clothes. The other
boy escaped uninjured. Mr.. Vanesce
and his nephew brought the boy in

making the haste they did. Mr.. Ben

who was injured was about 13 years

1t has been calculated that if Eng
land and Russia should engage in war
the cost to each of the contestants
would be from 100000 to s5,00O,-
900 per day. The war for the Union
cost this Government over $1,000
100000. The campaign of England
against Napoleon cost the same. The
Franco-Prussian war of 1S7O-'71 cost
France about $l,O00,000,O00 paid as
indemnity to Germany. The war
lasted seven months, and cost about
$500, 100000 per month, or 100000
900 day. The Russo Turkish war
lasting about ten months, cost about
$S00,000,000. 1t is therefore appa-
rent that the money cost of a contest
on the Afghan frontier would be enor-
NOUS, and the sums given represent
only the real cost of making war, not
the loss to commerce, business, etc.

A NOTED COUNTERFEITER
Is Caught in Boston in the Act OF Passing
Bogus Coin.

BosToN, June 4.
Frederick Thatcher was arrested today,
charged with passing counterfeit half dol
lar upon trader at the Highlands.
Thatcher was visited at the police station
by Maj. McIlrath of the United States Secret
Service, by whom he was recognized as an
old offender, who had served time under
the name of Frank Hatchers, whose picture
he had seen in the Secret Service gallery in
Washington.
Thatcher admitted having served a three
years sentence for the manufacturing of
counterfeit money in Fall River in 1873, but
would make no further statements about
himself. Maj. McIlrath visited the house oc-
cupied by Thatcher, and there found about
$50 dies and moulds containing q quantity of
partially finished counterfeit five, ten, tw enty
five and fifty cent pieces and silver dollars /;
also large quantity of metals used in coun-
tertelting. In addition, whole garret full
of articles was found, which he had evidently
obtained by petty thieving. Thatcher is
about 40 years old and has family consist
ing of wife and two children.
There has been considerable complaint of
late that bogus quarters were in circulation
in this city. and as the dies captured today
indicated that quarters had been coined in
the greatest quantities by Thatcher, it is be-
lieved he is responsible for their circulation.

A crowd of visitors and citizens met the

waving of flags and firing of cannon.
The commencement exercises of the Uni

ginal marble tablet on which is inscribed the
memorial epitaph of Thos. Jefferson, and
which was presented to the University by the
heirs of Jefferson, was unveiled and Senator
Vest delivered long and elaborate oration
on Thos. Jefferson. He was followed by
Secretary Bayard, who was received with
prolonged applause. His remarks were de-
voted to lessons to be learned from the life
and services of Jefferson.
Referring to the relations which existed
between Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton,
Bsyard said he had In his possession a corre-
spondence which showed that to the influence
of no man was the election, in 1901, of Thos
jefferson. To the Presidency more was due
than to personal counsels and the influence
of Alexander Hamilton.
Comparing the crisis in 1901 with that of
1876, Mr.. Bayard used both as illustrating
that the American people regard their coun-
try as more sacred than party. With some
words of compliment to the University, Mr..
Bayard closed and was most heartily applaud

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Suggestion Concerning the Closing of
Places of Business-ResOlutiOns Per.
taining to War Adopted.
New YORK. June 4

NEW YORK. June 4.
At meeting today of the chamber of COM
merce, motion was adopted to the effect
that the chamber suggest to its members the
propriety of closing their places of business
at p M. Saturdays, from June 1st to Sept.
lst. The following resolution was referred
to the committee:
Whereas, In case of war between any of
the powers of Europe under the present atti-
tude of the United States, it is doubtful
whether the flag of the United States would
be deemed sufficient to cover the hostile car
go, and thereby receive the advantage of the
carrying trade of the goods of the belig-
Grants.
Resolved, That the committee be empow-
cred to enquire into this question, and as to
whether it would or would not be desirable
for this chamber to urge upon the govern
ment of the United States the taking of i'm
mediate steps to place this country within
the principles Of the declaration of Paris Tin
1860 by sisnifying its formal adherence
thereto to thed ifferent nations of Europe who
are partial to that declaration.
