Patrick Rodgers Defeats the Bear

Patrick Rodgers Defeats the Bear at
Industrial Han.
There is a large and powerful bear at
present appearing at the museum at In
dustrial Hall, at Broad and Vine streets
who having vanquished all his brother
bruins at Graco- Roman and catch-as-
catch-can wrestling, has taken to the
stage and nightly grunts defiance at the
male spectators who assemble their gaze
upon the attractions of the place.
Patrick Rodgers, employed at the Bald
win Locomotive Works, has for some
time watched with interest the bear
wrestling and finally decided to have a
bout with bruin. So his friends at the
works made up a purse, making Archie
Smith, one Of Rodgerss most ardent ad-
mirers, stakeholder. Wednesday even
ing was set for the struggle. Rodgers is
a young man only 20 years of age. He is
fully developed weighing 100 pounds
and stands five feet ten inches in height,
with chest measurement of forty three
inches, around the hips forty-two inches,
showing him to be a man of unusual
physique AS for the bear, all who have
seen him pronounce him TO be more than
match 70 any ordinary man. Rodgers
on making his appearance on the stage
was met with rounds of applause from
his 500 friends and acquaintances Of the

account Of both man aud beast falling on
their sides and neither seeming to have
any advantage over the other,

The second fall was for Rodgers, who
threw Bruin square and fair on his back
and the spectators, both men and boys
were nearly beside themselves with delight
at the first fall counting one for theil
champion. The third fall was one fol

his huge paw, hit Rodgers full on tbs
chest then followed il up with a butt
of the head, sending the plucky Irish bo,
to the floor and threw his immense bod,
with full force on the pros
trated form of the animal antago
nizer. In the fourth and las
round the bear was fully reused. and s.
was Pat Rodgers, who unbuttoned hi
knit jacket, tossed it to one side, bare
his arms TO the shoulder and said: lie

People ray Subsidies ana PROFITS, Too

People Pay Subsidies and Profits, Too.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Republicans, Of course, propose
TO resort to taxation to build up trade
Taxation is the Republican panacea. It
is specific for wringing profits out Of
business naturally improbable. What
they now propose is TO pay larger subsi-
dies to steamship lines in order to facili-
tate our intercourse with South America
and extend our trade in that direction.
In this way, it is contended, our people
can compete successfully with England
and other European countries for this
business and still realize profit The
subsidies win supply the profit, and the
taxpayers, of course, pay the subsidies.
If the plan would prove successful at all.
which is good deal more than doubtful.
it would simply be taxing part Of our
people to enable another part to realize
profits in a business which, without the
subsidy; would be unprofitable Such a
trade as this would add nothing to the
general wealth. 1t would only tax,
money from the pockets of the men VIII,
have earned it and put into those whit
have not earned it, The whole plan rest
upon the delusion that a country cal
