The Crystal Falls Chautauqua Scien-
tifc and Literary Circle held its last
meeting for the year ON June 10, at the
residence OF Mrs. Carr. The firstmccting
Of this society was held November l.,
1887, one month after the regular time
for commencing the years readings. The
circle OF this city consists Of eleven regu-
lar members and one local. The course
OF study for the past year has been as
follows: History Of the United States,
American literature, physiology and hy-
giene, philosohy OF the plan OF salvation,
readings from Washington Irving, class
ic German in English. history OF the
mediaeval church, and the Chautauquan.
Articles ON all the leading topics Of the
day were read, studied and discussed.
The circle has not missed a meeting since
lack Of interest, ON the contrary, SO
much enthusiasm has been manifested
that those who can, will meet once i'm two
weeks during the summer months to re-
view the work.
This association, under the title Of the
Peoples College" which has become al
most worldwide known, originated mt n
little Methodist camp meeting, which
was being held Mt Chautauqua lake, New
York. A few noble men and women,
anxiousfor the general good OF the people,
not only in the United States, but the
whole world, set the ball i'm motion,
planned course OF study for n year,
reports TO be made at the next annual
meeting. From that year to the present
date, the number OF regular members
have steadily increased, until we now
number over sixty thousand. The lac
ulty at the present time consists Of some
OF our abIest professors and divines.
Among the number we find the names Of
Lyman Abbott, ID. d.. Edward Everett

DEAR SIR--Having read bear stories

Organ, about town, but we call him Ben
for short. This gentleman, having par
taken Of his supper the other evening,
shouldered his rifle and started out in
search 81 bear, nothing else. He had
not gone more than one mile from the
camp when he met what he was aftcr--a
bear He spicd Mr. Bruin in "A bunch 81
undcrgIowth. but being armed with a
fortyiour calibre Winchester repeating
rifle, Ben remarked: "I'll just go you
one II do lose" He "wcnt" the bear
one, the ball taking effect in the shoulder,
but IT did not seem To please Bruin as he,
then and there dropped everything in
hand and made rush for Ben like a
Kansas cyclone. Ben fired again, the
effect seemed to stun the bear, but be-
fore the gun could again be fired the bear
made n grab for Ben and caught him and
then il was that the fighting commenced
in dead earnest, hut Ben WAS provided
with large sheath knife and says:
"And you bet useditquick strong"
The struggle continued for n minute, but
to Ben il seemed an hour, when the
bear was j. J.. Sulliyaneh and Ben says
for hall TN hour lac imagined himself j.
j., with the exception of a few scratches
aud bruises and torn clothing. but he
came out very little the worse for wear.
The bear was brought into camp and
weighed 60I pounds. PATHFINpER.

acquaintances found trouble by barely
promising 60 marry, without going any
farther. A southern editor says that a

he did not call, il is natural TO suppose
that he il dead, and is simply walking

A Talk With Gov. GRAY.

HE SAYS THE INDIANA DEMOCRACY Is UNITED AND
EAGER FOR THE CAMPAIGN FIGHT.
To correspondent OF the Baltimore sun at In
dianapolis yesterday, Gov. Gray said that IL he
was thought worthy OF being nominated by the
st. LOUIS convention for the vice-presdency he
would be deeply sratihed, would strive to show
that the confidence was merited and would throw
himself heart and soul into tue campaign. But he
was making no effort, and was quite willing to
leave himself in the hands OF his friends OF Indiana
and OF the national democracy. He said no matter
who was nominated, the contest in Indiana would
be most active on both sides Democratic leaders
Were ready 10 give the republicans all the tariff
talk they wanted In the campaign OF 1884 he
had taken advanced ground on the tariff in his
speeches before the people, and had her alarmed
some OF his party friends, but he was altogether
satisfied with the result. AT that time he was
fully up TO the doctrines OF the Presidents mes
sage OF December last. He said the pronibitonists
would undoubtedly Increase their vote Ia Indiana
this year. There were no feudS among the delnoc-
racy OF Indiana. He spoke OF ex-senator McDon-
aid In the most complimentary terms, and said
their personal relations were OF a very friendly
nature, but he did not discuss the attitude
which Mr.. MCDONALD has assumed against
his candidacy for the vice presidency.
When asked about the allegation that he was

from one OF his speeches when running for gov
ernor In 1884, when, in answer 10 q similar Ques-
ton, he had replied that any man who would

affidavit signed by nearly TWO hundred foreign
born citizens OF his town OF Union City, many OF
whom had known him for thirty years or more
which recites that no man In their midst was
more free from Intolerance and no man more re-
spected and popular with foreign-bOrn ctiZens

never forget him for the fact that many years ago.
