A Bear at a Quilting.
BRUlN CREATES AN UNEXPECTED sENsA.
TON AND Is LAID OUT BY A WOMAN.

Last Saturday Nov. 3rd there was q
quilting bee at John Holidays. Quilt
iug bees are great occasions in the
mountains, and all the women within
radius of fifteen miles usually gather
at them. This was big one. Mrs.
Holidays hospitality was renowned
throughout her section. The older
children--boys aged IL and 9--were
off at work with their father. The
four younger were banished to the
little low upper room under the roof,
reached by ladder. There they
amused themselves as best they could,
while about thirty congregated about
the quilting frame below, and labored
assiduously at sewing and exchanging
the news of the neighborhood. Mrs.
Holiday made fri quent trips to the
little kitchen, where savory dinner
was preparing.
II lacked about an hour of noon.
The conversation of the 'quilters' had
become very lively, and their laughter
could be heard to the edge of the
clearing. Then there was a heavy
thump overhead. whats thatf' ex-
claimed one of the women.
"Only one of them children tumbled
over on the floor above" said Mrs.
Holiday; syou needn't mind 'em."
Probably they would have continued
their quilting, but "them children" be-
gan to scream and one after another
they came tumbling down the ladder.
The last was the yonn est "a little
girl. Sho was only years old, and
she did tumble down. falling
through the trap dooi to the floor, but
she was so fat that her fall didn't hurt
her. She failed to bring with her the
larger part of her pinafore, but her
mother didn't have time 10 notice that,
tor the next moment big black bear
popped through the opening right
after the children. He turned som.
ersault as he fell, but ..he held in his
claws the missing portion of the baby's
pinafore.
Some of the women screamed and
rushed for the door. These were the
| younger ones. The older had steadiel
nerves. They had lived in the noun
tains all their lives; they had seer
bears before. The children were sez
ed by them, while Mrs. Holiday ran to
the smoke house, where her husband
had left his rifle that morning aftel
cleaning it out.
Somebody might have been hurt
but the bear was slightly stunned by
his precipitous descent, and when h
recovered consciousness nobody wa
within easy reach. The savory smel
of the cooking dinner attracted hin
and he pushed bis way into the little
kitchen. A piece of fat mutton was
boiling in kettle over the fireplace
for Mrs. Holiday had not yet bought
a stone. Bruin made for it and burn
his nose. While he was growing and
rubbing his paws over his nose Mrs
Holsday poked the rifle in through thu
small window and shot him dead.
The bear had been wandering along
the cliff above the house. His explor
ations led him near the edge ani h,
lost his footing and Itumbltd over anc
struck on the cabin below. The ligb'
boards gave way and he fell right in
to the group of children. They scat
tered and the bear, following, tumblet
down the ladder which served as {
stairway. lie was the first bear seer
this season in this part of Kentucky
and weighed nearly 400 pounds.

THE JOKER OF THE AMERICAN PRESS FILLS
THE PULPIT IN THE BEST MANNER.
Mr.. Robert j. Burdette made q few
remarks last week to encourage the
Beth Eden Christian Endeavor Society,
which held It's first anniversary in the
church, Broad and Spruce Streets,
Philadelphia. Mr.. Burdette told them
he hadn't prepared anything to say,
for he'd been out of doors a good deal
lately building henhouse that was a
thing of beauty, architecturally speak
ing, after he had persuaded u to stand
up, aud then made some observations
on hens in general, and some other
topics, all calculated to make life
pleasant thing to his hearers. He
read some of these observations from
newspaper clippings that he had out
out and then put them at one side of
the pulpit, telling the congregation in
confidence that next Sunday, when Mr..
Beckley, the pastor, was making a
bulletin board Of himself he might mis-
take one of the clippings for a notice
and read it. He (Mr. Burdette) didn't
think it would do any harm if he did.
When he began to talk about Christian
Endeavor societies this is the substance
omittIng the digresslon from the SUBJ
jec of what he said:
"There never was pastor who was
at loss to find work for his Young
people to do and you never saw a Sun
day school where the teachers lacked
work. And to prepare the young
people, to teach them how to do church
work, is the good thing these societies
do. A jealous man may unmeaningly
do great deal of mischief from ignor-
ance of the right way to work. can't
advise you how to do your work, for

formation on these societies. III illus

The res. of Mr. Burdette's remarks
were rather discursive and irrelevant
and once, when he wa illustrating I
point, he whistled hymn tunes in the
pulpit, but the congregation did not
object.
Addresses were also made by Alber'
Magilton, president of the society, and
John T. Beckley, pastor Of the church

remembered that Gov. Bucknsr refused to rec
ognize the reauisition ofGov Wilson for the re-

one for the courts TO decide.
Gibson says: II simply propose to deal

WOMEN In THE WAY.
Rather Singular Fact Demonstrated by
Experience in Hospital.

Boston, Feb. s--The Transcript voices many
complaints recently made by the friends and
supporters Of the Boston Lying-in Hospital, an
institution which for many years has done val
uable work in this city. because women are not
allowed on its board OF trustees, on its medi-
cal staff. AS the result of inquiries. it is ascer
tanned that, in the early years of the hospital,
there have been ladies on its board of trustees,
and that many dissensions and confusions
had resulted therefrom. At the present time,
with exclusively male staff of surgeons and
trustees. such difficulties encountered.
DR.. William l.. Richardson, who is at the
head Of the staff OF the hospital. is quite EN-.
phatic in his opposition to the direct co-opera-
ton of women in the management of the insti-
tuition. Why women should be introduced
there trustees or for practice he could not
see. Women, he had noticed, were inclined
be over curious over-zealous, TO put it in that
way. when called upon to investigate, visit
ors, to the injury of the applicant patient,
whose mind might be disturbed at critical
time to her physical injury. The relation of
trustee to patient where woman deals with
woman, was sympathetic that inquiries of an
unfortunate as her future were apt to be en-
barrassing at the very moment when she needed
bodily rather than mental sustenance
No woman girl who is supposed to be
vicious is admitted for treatment, and no single
woman can come a second time. The scrutiny
is strict. and reasonable deduction is formed
from conversation or reference that the appli-
can't IL married, is poor, or. if SINGLE innocently
unfortunate. Several instances were cited by
DIR. Richardson to illustrate his dealings with
the latter class.

Tho Virginia Senator Fills Himself with
Whisky and Gives Another Exhibision.
Special to the Indianaporis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb a-Senator Riddlebereer
made another disturbances in tho Senate to-day,
both IN open session and after the doors were
closed for executive session. He persisted in
violating the rules BY discussing executive busi-
ness in open session. and had been called to or
der frequently. each time refusing to obey the
orders Of the Chair. To-day. when he was called
to order. Mr.. Ingalls,, who was presiding, spoke
to him very sternly and told him to take his
seat. Riddlebereer refused to do so, and re-
sumed his remarks. A second time the Chair
told him to take his seat. Riddleberger still re-
fused to do so. but, seeing that Mr.. Ingalls, was
IN earnest. stood in silence for few moments
before his desk, and he then walked out of the
chamber. If he had attempted to continue aft
er being called to order the second time, tho
Sergeans-at-arms would have been directed to
place him under arrest.
In executive session, afterward. he again be-
came obstreperous and the Sergsant-at-arms was

was given very severe lecture
by the presiding officer and notified that his
conduct would not be tolerated any longer; that

arrested. the rules require. He made an
apology TO the Chair, and other business was
