Last Sunday morning MT. Dacey. a ranch er saw bald faced bear and two cubs 1eis- urely crossing his ranch on 8 dog trot. He ran to his house, caught his rife and began shooting at the bears, but with the sole eff feet of causing them to hasten toward the Willow creek bottom. On hearing the shots MT. Armstrong and Aleck Syphers jumped on their horses and hastened to the scene AS they reached the brow of the hill beyond the Willow creek crossing they saw MT.

He came very near being caught once, as the she bear actually got hold Of his horses tail with her teeth, and per mitted herself to be dragged over one hun dred yards. This scene greatly amused Messrs. Armstrong and Syphers, and for g moment or two they stopped to look and have good laugh. But realizing MT.

 Thc Boston Herald Alleges Shabby
 Treatment of the Puritan by the
 New York Club.
 BOSTON, Oct 4-In an article which is evidently inspired the Herald gives the req sons why the Puritan did not contest in the races for the Douglass-Bennett, Brenton's reef and Cape May cups. It was originally intended to sail forthe Douglass cup at least, but the coolness, envy and jealousy manifest ed by the New York managers of the races after the Puritan had beaten the Priscilla; together with the evident desire of some of them that the Genesta would win, lead to 8 reconsideration. The jealousy even extended to members of the Eastern Yacht club, some of whom were among the first and most bit ter to condemn the Puritan for the collision with the Gepesta and call it an outrage. The article says: "If the Americas cup had been in the custody of the Eastern Yacht club and the Priscilla had sailed to Boston, defeated the Puritan in three races and then vanquished the Genesta, the owners or committee of the Pris- cilla would not be permitted to leave Boston without some recognition of their efforts to preserve the cup; and they rather than the owner of the defeated yacht and his party would have been honored by the club in whose custody the trophy was. The least that can be said of the action of the club is that it was very shabby and compared with what would have resulted here very caddish. The most. fitting rebuke that the committee of the Puritan could give was to compel the New York club to defend it's own cups. How that club succeeded in doing this is shown by the record. Even General Butler, who is anything but thin skinned, became so dis gusted with New York yachtsmen that in stead of starting against the Genesta as he had intended he sent his America back to

A HAUL OF GAMBLERS.

New York Police Scoop Down On
 Several Dens And Make A Great
 Capture.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-At about 9 o'clock Saturday evening several squads of police men in citizens dress under the command of Captain Brogan of the Fifteenth precinct made an extensive raid upon the gambling houses and policy shops in the neighborhood of Bleecker and Thompson streets. These dens are patronized almost exclusively by the sporting fraternity with sprinkling of white gamblers and have been running full blast for several months past. The raid was so quiet and unexpected that the police had all the avenues of escape guarded and an en- trance effected into the gambling rooms be- fore an alarm could be given and the gam blers and inmates were arrested to man, not one escaping. The most important cap ture was that of Bob Mays rooms in the rear of the cigar store at No. 151 Bleecker street where the police bagged over fifty players together with faro and red and black layouts, about one thousand ivory chips and consid- erable cash. The entire paraphernalia of the policy and envelope games were also scooped in. The regiment of crooks and gamblers were marched to the Mercer street station and will be brought for trial to-mor- row.

Pickpockets' Methods.


 When a mob of pickpockets starts out to ''work a crowd" on a train, they break into twos The operator on leather fans his in- tended victim. This, in plain English, means that he ascertains the location of his victims money. He gets alongside of the man whose pocket is to be picked, and with rapid movement he dexterously passes his fingers lightly over every pocket. His touch is so delicate that it enables him to locate the poodle and to ascertain it's character, whether Q roll, purse or poeketbook. The surgins of the crowd, especially on crowd ed railway train, accounts to the suspicious traveller for the occasional jostling which one receives. It is found that the most common receptacle for the pocketbook is the left trousers pocket front. When the victim is selected one of the brace of thieves plants himself squarely in front of him, while the other crowds up behind him on the right side. The operator in front, nnder cover of a newspaper or coat thrown over the arm, feels the pocket, and, if the victim is 8 stiff necked or straight-backed man in stand ing position, he finds the lips of the pocket drawn close together. In this case it is dan gerous to attempt the insertion of the hand. A very low-toned clearing of the throat, fol- IOWS GU Dy Sut1OLoi ASioo, ID ClAO oiShG1A 4o1 his pal to exert a gentle pressure upon the victims right shoulder. This is so gradually extended that the traveller yields to the pres sure without knowing it, and without chang ing the position of his feet. This throws the lips of the pocket open for the operator in front, who does not insert his hand and at tempt to draw the book out, but works on the lining. He draws it out eighth of an inch at 8 time without inserting his fingers more than half way.
 Should this process of drawing tie con- tents of the pocket to it's mouth be felt by the victim, another low clearing of the throat gives the sign to the confederate, and the game is dropped. If the victims suspicious are not aroused the pickpocket continues at his work of drawing the lining out until the roll of bills. the purse or the pockethook is within reach of the delft fingers, It is then grasped between the index and middle finger and gently drawn out, The successful com pletion of the job is indicated by gentle chirrup, like the chirp of canary, and the precious pair separate from their victim to ply the same tricks on the next one

A Sermon By Canon Farrar.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 4.-HaH an hour before the service began this morning at St. Pauls Protestant Episcopal church the large audi torium was crowded to the doors. Canon Farrar of England, who delivered the ser mon, took for his text the fifteenth chapter of St. Luke embracing the three parablss of the lost sheep, the lost piece of silver and the prodigal son. The arehdeacon dwelt up on the stories of these parables to show that the love of God in Christ is for the lost and wandering fold. He said that the whole race of man was the lost sheep until Jesus found it. Among sall the bright stars of the frmament was the atom world, the ruined atom fallen world he came, because God is love, that all whe believe may have eternal life The righteous as well as the unright. eous, the Pharisee as we'll as the infide needs God.

The Irish priests have won their cases in Rome. Parnell is not a Cath olic, but he has the support of the bishops and arehbishops and it is a duty to assist the people at home with money.
