ToLsToI AND THE BEAR.

How the Celebrated Novelist's Presence of
 Mind Saved His Life.
 An incident is related about the cele- brated writer, Count Tolstoi, which nearly cost him his lie. He went out on 8 bear hunt with some of his friends, and, after s'.ecting @ spot which com handed good view of the surrounding grounds, st::i;, o; the more experienced hunters sL. grGtrd that the snow had better b" ,i:i,.i d down so that it would be cI>r ;u. t..''rI to move about and g.; Ct ui | u.M'; way and have time en, :, :lI tn a 's .. shot at him if he should cCfn. |lt:.t iIcm unexpectedly.
 The C uEt l.u,v, IF although up to his wai," Il. tle snnW, objected % this and said ih;L il $ entirely unneces- sary, sin 6 i,.c Mi.,.le thing consisted of sho JtinE ,hn b. a'and not wrestling With hirn.
 They did not have to walt long. for the bear. which aG 'ust risen from it's lair, was walk - a!Cn- l.. g. t out of tho way of 'h" ;.tAt'c' vie" # &uld, n!y stepped out ntu the open space directly in front ot !o!stoi.
 He cooily 'uoi ai m and fired. but the ball, for some reason or other, went wide of its marx. Taking aim again he fired. this time h tting the bear in the head, and the bullet lodged n the lower jaw and of course only made very irritating wound. which made the bear so savage that taking few jumps, he was upon Tolstoi before he was able to realize it Just as the bear camo close enough to him he dropped down, and of course the bear went right over his body. Tolstoi's whole body sunk into the deep snow, and the only part that remained exposed was his head, which the bear tackled as soon as he had recovered from his sur prise in seeing Tolstoi disappear so sud- denly.
 Tolstoi did his best to push his head down as low as possible, and elevated his fur cap for the bear to bite. Twice the savage animal snapped at it, and then, d scovering his mistake, made a bite deeper down, this time taking a piece of flesh from the Counts right cheek.
 Just at this moment his comrades re- turned, and by their loud yells suc- ceeded in driving away the bear, who very slowly turned his back upon the hunters and walked into the woods, aaster of the situation. .--Lon6on Teie- raph.

THE people of Waterbury have before them in the democratic candidates for representatives, Messrs Root and Sake, men who are deserving of their suffrages. Charles G. Root is one of the brightest and cleverest young men of Waterbury. Naturally of an intelligent mind he has a liberal education, is an able debater and is strictly honest. John L. Sake, the candidate for junior representative, is also well and favorably known. He has built himself up by sheer force of merit and is a tireless worker. The dem- ocrats of Waterbury should see to it that both gentlemen are elected.

Was it the Work of an Incendiary 2

SYRACUSE, Oct. 17.-In insurance cir cles it is believed the Leland Hotel was set on fire. Dick Perry, of the firm of Bowen & Perry, says the fire started in 8 back room where grease was stored.
 "A skylight was over the place." he said, "and the flames leaped up through it into a sort of a we'll, which served as a conductor to carry the fire to the rooms of the guests, which opened out upon it on the various hoors.h At the Globe hotel fire shortly after Mir. Perry says he was quickly on the scene,
 and declares that the fire started from grease in the kitchen in precisely the same manner as at the Leland. He believes both places were set on fire in precisely the same manner by some per son or persons employed in the hoteIs. A rigorous investigation will be made.

SAYS Charles F. Conly, photographer, of Boston: The new tariff law practi- cally drives me out of business as far as commercial work Is concerned. The duty on photograph paper has been ralsed from SIS to $25. This paper has to be used on all photographs, and not a sheet is made in this country. If the raw paper were allowed to come in free before albumenizing there are plenty of men who can albumenize it, giving em- ployment to labor. On the other hand the duty has been raised on glass, which again is no protection, and no glass is manufactured in this country suitable for photographers purposes. The duty on the necessary chemicals has also been increased, and can see no way out of it except to shut down.

UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 17.-Cora Tanner, the actress, was obliged to cancel her engagem snt in Utica last night on ac- count of the injuries she sustained at the Leland hotel fire at Syracuse.

A CORRESPONDENT asks how he shall know whether the new tariff has raised, or is to raise, prices. For reply we quote from the Boston Herald: We'll the fact that it was bought in legislation by certain men who are seeking higher prices for their goods is one reason. No one denies that certain manufacturers paid large sums to carry the last cleo tion. They certainly did not do it to lower the prices of their products. The immense importation in advance of the operation of the law is another proof. Men could have had but one motive for this-the goods were going to cost them more when the new law was enforced. Then it is as simple as any law in arith- metic that added duties make added prices, and duties are added here all along the line. But those who have goods to purchase have the most con- vincing proof of all. The prices of many of these have been raised already, and many more are to follow. As they are chiefly on goods that every one wants, this kind of proof is sure to be readily diffused.

In the Forum Lieut. John P. Finley sums up the attachments science has thus far made in the investigation of tornadoes. They may occur at any place in America east of the 105th meridian, and at any time, though they are most common in the period from March 1, to the end of September. May is the worst month in the year for them. They form when warm, moist air begins to flow underneath stratum of colder, dryer air. These whirl over and upon one another and produce the tornado. There are local signs of a tornado's approach usually long enough beforehand for per sons to protect themselves as far as pos sible. There are deathlike stiffness and opprissive heat. Detached clouds scurry through the sky toward a common cen ter. In the west and northwest appears 8 dense bank of black cloud. sometimes is heard the roar of the wind in the vor- tex of the tornado cloud. The approach ing tornado cloud of dust, rain, etc., is generated by the vortex of whirling air and is funnel shaped, with the small end toward the earth.
