The Famous Buliet-Proof Bear Is at Her

specidl to the SUNDAY Moy7lfno Netos.
TRENTON, N. j.. May O. 1901 There is
bear in New Jersey that leivs a
charmed life It mingles more or less
with civilization, but vet is its own mas
ter. This is the bear that created much
havoc in Somerset, Mercer. Hunterdon
and Burlington counties, and seems to be
buliet-proof and trap wise. 1t is now
giving the farmers in the upper part of
Mercer county lively experience
IL is the same bear that escaped two
seasons ago from the Trenton City Park
under sensational circumstances. She
was then cub, purchased for the park
In the Pocomo Mountains by Councilman
Edmund q. Hill, who started the little
geological garden which delights the
children of Trenton and is one OF the Or
naments of the city. When tine
bear arrived ct the Clinton street
station, by expires the box was rough
~ tumoled from the car, and it
fell apart. The cub showed her
teeth and was at once given the right of
way. She dashed across the lawn,
and finding an opening in the fence,
entered the yard of the hotel near the
depor. She proceeded through the kitch-
en-. and wandered into the barroom,
which was at the thine filled with tip
piers. The presence OF the cub cleaned
out the barron in less time than any
one could say Jack Robinson. The cub
followed to the street, but was met with
reception of flying brick, and then it
took refuge in the Mercer Cemetery op-
posite the station, where it held the fort
against several hundred excited men and
boys, and was finally lassoed by col
ored man.
The bear pit at the park was not yet
ready for the cubs reception, so IL was
locked up in the old barn, and the news
papers, out of admiration for the pre-
cocousness of the cub, called it Kitty
Hill, after Councilman HILL Two days
of confinement wore KiIty's temper, and
one day Kitty Unattached the barn door
and walked out. She reached the canal
that winds ia front of the Park and
jumped 10. The park guards gave a live
ly chase, and Kitty saved her bacon by
s winning from one side of the canal TO
the other until she distalced them, then
she took to the woods. Since then she
has been a yeritable tourist and has
managed to keep out Of the range OF bull
lets and clubs, and has lived on the fat of
the land
She has disturbed the suburban quiet
ness of many places, but detied all the
ingenious plans of men to capture her
Her appearance during the past week in
Mercer county, only few miles from the
park, is matter of surprise. Those who
have seen her claim that she Is large aud
fat She is now in the great Bear
Swamp, five miles above Trenton, and is
safe unless hunger causes her to wander
abroad.

a NEW REPRESENTATIONS.

A NEW ORGANIZATION.
Mrs. Roe, Miss Illingsworthi and
others who left the original club, met
last Thursday even ng at Miss Ilings-
worth as home on Jersey avenue, and took
steps to organize a new working girls
club under the name of the Laurels.
There were present at this meeting six
teen of the young ladies who resigned
from the original working girls club.
The Laurels have established them
selves in the rooms of the LorriIard night
schools.
A SUNDAY MORNING NEWS reporter
visited the rooms of the old club last
evening. A number of well-dressed
young women came fling in, one at a
time, with cordial "good evening" to
the president SomeI of them stopped at
the piano long enough to run over the
key board, but all soon retired to the rear
class room.
Miss McCartin positively declined to be
interviewed concerning her opinions OF
the troubles that caused the split.
II will only say that I am opposed to
young men accompanying the girls to
the club rooms some or those girls who
used to bring their beaux used to say
openly, We didn't come here for study.
We came to have some fun The club
was not organized for such engage
ment
ssrhe Laurels Will not interfere with
the progress of the club. We are nearly
one hundred strong. The places of those
who resigned are being filled by old mem
bers VINO left because of them"
A RELIGIOUS ISSUE.
From another source the report or
learned that there Is a strong religious
current beneath it all that led 20 the pres.
enC trouble: and the most singular thing
about 1t isfthat Miss McCaftin's staunch-
est supporters are Protestants, while
she herself is Catholic. Miss McCartin
desires the club to remain unsectarian.
The leaders of the new faction are said to
be Protestants.
MRS. DIR. RAE'S VERSION.
Mrs. Dr. Rae, when interviewed upon
the subject denied that any great differ
euce that would destroy the present use
fulness of the Working Girls Club ex-
listed. She said that she and her friends
who resigned had no idea Of starting an
opposition club with a view to disruptfng
the ola organization. She was present
during the election and voted for her
opponent. She did not desire TO enter the
contest.
I'VE who drew out from the club. Z said
she, have talked of starting another
organization to work on parallel lines, be-
lieving that there is room in the city for
two such organizations. But no definite
steps have yet been taken in this direc-
tion.v
Mrs. Rae ridiculed the idea that religion
had anything to do with the matter.

The Oldest House in Monmouth County.

RED BANK, May Q, 1891 What is said
to be the Oldest house in Monmouth
county, the homestead of the historic
Chadwick family, is now being torn
down. 1t is situated on Prospect avenue,
East Red Bank, and was owned by the
late Barnes Chadwick, whose father
lived in the structure in Revolutionary
days The story is told that one day
Mr. Chadwick heard the guns Of the
Britishers, who were on their way from
the coast TO attack the villagers in Mon
mouth county, and, being a patriot, he
ran barefooted to the camp of the Ameri-
can soldiers, who were encamped at Tin
ton Falls, and appraised them OF the In
tended raid. The Americans FASTENED to
meet the enemy and drove them back to
their ships. The house was used many
times as a headquarters for military
forces. For many years texes and other
wild animals made their homes in the
house, but civilization drove these away,
and now land spectators are tearing
down the structure.

FACTS FOR vENTRILoQUIsTs.
a Few SuSge" lions for Those DESTROYS of
Acquiring the Art.

Here are Il few practical hints as to
the modes of procedure to be followed
by would be ventriloquists, although
half dozen lessons from n good FRO
fessional would do infinitely more for
them than all the books that have been
written upon the subject, and which,
| by the way, are usually a mass of the
orctical phrascology.
Before any attempt is made with the
voice, the student must be prepared to
devote some time and attention to the
breath, which he must get entirely
under control, so as to be able to hold it
for considerable time without strain
ing. This, of course, must be gradual
process.
Before commencing to practice, a
strong inspiration should be taken, as
tire lungs require to be furnished with
plentiful supply of air, which has to
be well controlled and allowed to es-
cape gradually. lie must endeavor to
breathe through his nose and keep his
mouth shut. This is d hint which it
would be as well for every one to re-
member, and so save great deal of
cola catchlng ana illness.
The learner must study at all times
to initiate sounds, not as they arc
heard at their source, but as they fall
upon the ear after travelling from
distance. That is the golden rule of
ventriloquism, and if it is continually
kept in mind success is certain. AS
conjurcrs endcavor to deceive the eye,
so ventriloquists endeavor to deceive
the ear.
The distant voice" originates at that
spot in the throat where the "cluck"
takes place when drinking, SO, without
any facial contortions or movement of
the lips, the words must be forced
against the back part of the palate one
by one, With a series of short, quick
breaths, atthe same time strengthening
the sounds by using the muscles of the
stomach, which will give them increased
power, so that they will reach the
audience clear and distinct. The farther
off the sound is supposed to be. the
smaller the quantity of breath must be
expired.
The great fault with beginners is
straining after effect No sooner do
they make little Roadway and begin
to feel their feet than they want to
run, proceeding which will bring
their endeavors to a dismal failure

A Monstrous Prehistoric Man.

Two miners who recently returned
from Grand canyon, Arizona, report
marvellous discovery. In the basin of
the canyon, which was once sand bed,
and probably thousands of years ago
broad, level plain, they came upon the
perfect imprint of human foot, for
the toes, heel, and every portion were
plainly outlined, the imprint being APP
parently made when the sand of which
the rock is composed was in plastic
state. 1t measured twenty-six inches
in length and nearly twelve in width.
While they were puzzling over the GU
riosity one of the mule drivers found
several others, all the same size as the
first. They were distinctively and
evenly eighteen feet apart, showing the
great distance which that monster with
a human foot could step at a single
stride.-Chicago Times.
