THE BEAR DEFEATED.

1t Kills a Heifer, and Is Driven Away by
Gunpowder.
Artemus Harper of Pocono Mountain left
A. E. Brundage's store on SINNERS
Creek for his home five miles dis
tant. so the story goes, says the
Eastern Express. He had two-year-oId
heifer behind the wagon, and when he got
into the Westford woods. on the summit of
the mountain, he hitched his team to a tree
and trudged over to swamp to pick basket
OF greens. In short time Mr.. Harper heard
the heifer believing as though she was in
distress. Running back TO the road he found
Dig she bear clawlng Mt the heifer's neck
Before he could do anything the heller broke
the rope and started to run, but the bear
bore her down and tore a hole in her throat.
The helpless heller fell on her side and the
bear went to deyouring it
Mr.. Harper started to club the bear at
once and the enraged beast sprang at him.
knocked. HIM fiat and immedi ately bounced
on the heller again. He was badly hurt by
the fall, and seeing that the heifer was dead
and that the bear was crazed from hunger,
he made up his mind not to run the risk
again Of losing his own life. He had no
weapon better than club, but in his pocket
there was flask OF gunpowder that he had
bought at the store.
Stealing up behind the bear he poured the
powder into the long hair on her back
Then he threw a lighted match into her hair
1t ignited the powder, there was an instan-
taneous flash along her back, and the bear
suddenly forgot about her hunger, sprang
into the bushes and went tearing and howl
ing through the woods. The bear was all
ablaze when Mr.. Harper got his last glimpse
of her, and she continued to roar
until she had been out of sight two or
three minutes. but she did not return. Mr.
Harper cut the heiters throat, and then he
drove on TO Calvin Van Begins place Mr..
Van Beyn and two of his sons went to the
woods with Mr.. Harper. The carcass of the
heifer was loaded on the wagon, and Mr.
Harper drove il home and divided the beef
among his neighbOrS.

MUDHENS EXCITED.
Katie O'Hara Sues a Firm for
Her Deposits.

The recent decision of the Supreme Court
declaring in terms that could not be mis-
taken the illegality OF dealing in margins or
holding as booked money on stocks for
dealers caused a furry among the mud
hens" that shows no signs OF subsiding.
The excitement was intensified yesterday
when it became known that Katie O'Hara
had brought suit in the Justices Court
against Kuhl, Roemer & Co., Stockholders.
for money she had deposited with them to
buy and sell stock on margins.
In her complaint Katie says that since

of twenty-five shares of the Mexican Gold
and Silver Mining Company at the par
value of 500 per share. which she had de-

OF buying and selling stock on margins.

EXPORTS or BREADsruFFs.

The official returns of the exports of
breadstuffs from the United States for the
fiscal year closing on the 5Oth of June en-
ables exact comparison with the exports of
preceding years. To begin with wheat, the
exports for the year 1891 were 54.20l, 2S2
bushels against 81. Ito, 942 in 1880. But the
value Of the wheat export for 1891 was $50
495.557 against $40, 03l, 173 in the preceding
year The exports of wheat -four were H.
O0163S barrels in 1891 against II, SS1, 1853 bar
refs in 1899. The value of the wheat -four
exports in 1891 was sos, 116, SS4 against S55-
$685. 9S in 1890, decrease of S73, 525 barrels
in quantity and of s.. 253, pa in value In
corn the decrease is much greater. In 1891
we shipped only 90. So, $50 bushels against
100. 905, 494 bushels in 1890. The value of
the 1891 corn exports was ST. 124, $40; of the
1890 exports S42, 205, 024. The decrease in
value is less cores pondingly than the de-
crease liz quantity as the average price of
corn was 57.21 cents in 1891 against 40 50
cents in 1890 There is also falling off in
the shipment of oats, the value in 1891 be-
ing only S3S9,O7S, against S4,3S2, 628 in 1892
The total value of the exports of breadstuffs
of all kinds was 1928, 156, AIS for 1891 against
S1J0690,0S3 in 1890. falling off of S27 $685.

breadstuf exports will decrease from year
to year, possibly excepting years in which
an exceptional crop is pruduced

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Governor Campbell Of Ohio has expressed
himself as hopeful If success in the pending
campaign. Candidates are generally hope
full. They, consider it their duty when
placed at the head of party to predict its
success. SGOveruor Campbell expects Mr.
Cleveland and Governor Hill to help him
OUT. He looks also to the Alliance leaders
to divert the farmers toward the Democratic
fold. As an inducement 10 farmers to vote
the Democratic ticket Mr.. Cleveland, Gov
ernor Campbell aud other Democratic speak
ers will promise to take the duties off
wool. 1t is not likely that Mckinley will be
left TO fight alone or with local aid only. If
Mr.. Blaine should find himself we'll enough
along in October to make two or three
speeches, showing the inevitable effect of
free trade, the result of the election might be
a disappointment to Mr. Campbell.

COIN AND PAPER CURRENCY.
The following is from the New York

The following is from the New York
Tribune:
The silver dollar. though II be a coin, Is In fact
nothing but token representing Il value which
is that OF gold dollar in The worlds markets
The paper dollar, whether il be Il certificate. Il
legaEtender note, a Treasury note or bank
mole, passes for exactly the same reasOn-not
because it is promise 10 pay one thing or au-
other thing, but because il was made and has
been maintained exchan ge bile on equal terms
with gold dollar and therefore accepted as its
representative Both are in fact nothing more
than representative forms Of money.
TIE Tribune ignores the fact that the silver
dollar is by law legal tender. 1t does not
have to be redeemed in anything. The Gov
eminent does not promise to give gold
dollar Tor silver one, but does promise to
receive a silver dollar az its face value for
all dues. The paper dollar of whatsoever
description passes for a dollar on the
strength of the promise that coin will be
given for it. The Government now gives
creditors their choice of the two kinds of
dollar, but possesses the right TO pay in sill
yer. 1t is not correct, therefore, to say that
both silver and paper are nothing more than
representative forms of money. Silver is
money; paper currency the representative
of money. The difference between these
two statements is readily defined. In
stress the Government may resort to silver
payments without departing from the specie
basis. If gold were the only money in
which paper currency could be lawfully re-
deemed there would be bnt a hair line be-
tween the Treasury and suspension of
specie payments. The $500, ZOO. 600 of silver
which has been coined since 1879 stands be-
tween the Treasury and suspension. We
quite agree with our contemporary that it is
desirable to maintain present values until
silver can be brought up to par with gold on
the 15.9SS ratio. But the assumption that
the single gold standard can be permanently
retained cannot be seriously considered.

Mrs. Emma Bryant's Treatment of Little
Minnie Norton.
Emma Bryant, the keeper of lodging
house ON Sixth street. was arrested early
yesterday morning on a charge of keeping a
minor, one Minnie Norton, aged 10, in her
house for immoral purposes. Officer Anthony
made the arrest and took the Bryant woman
and the girl to the Central Station. Minnie,
who IS in n bad state of health, refused to
say much about the matter until she was
informed that the Bryant woman had been
released on bail and had left the prison.
Then she stated that her mother died about
a year ago and had left her in Mrs. BTyant's
care. Two months ago they moved to 11S
Sixth street. The house had eighty-fve
rooms, and they were rented to all kinds OF
people. Her (Minnie's) business WAS tn sell
wine and beer to gentlemen visitors. When
business was dull she and another girl were
sent out by Mrs. Bryant to hunt up custom
eTs on the streets.
The Norton girl is the second one that the
police have taken away from Mrs. Bryant.
1t is the intention of the police to send the
girl to the Magdalen Asylum and to prose-
cute the woman to the utmost limit of the

THE GRIP OF NEWSPAPERS.

A journalist who has had considerable
experience in the business Of sta Iting news
papers expresses the opinion that with a
capital OF 100000 and a combination of
such men as Horace Greeley, Charles A
Dana, Henry ]. Raymond and George Jones
new newspaper enterprise might sue
coed. On the other hand, he admits that it
might fail. Men get so attached to their
newspapers that only one in a dozen will
take better one in its place. But in ordi-
nary cases the ''better one" is a matter Of
opinion. The quality that is valued most
highly by the mass of newspaper patrons is
honesty. When man becomes convinc ed
that the paper he takes is thoroughly hon
est he does not readily part with it. He
wants to read its opinions with the conyic-
ton hat they are honestly expressed

prohibiting foreign vessels from participant
ing in the American cOastwise trade. The
letter refers especially to the practice that
if6s become more or less common of seek
ing TO eyade the law by touching at for
eign port. The instructions are to the
effect that touching at foreign port does
not relieve foreign vessel from the ina
biiity imposed by Congress. This inter-
probation is in entire accord with the spirit
and letter Of the law, but not in harmony
with the Treasury order that foreign rail-
roads may do what foreign ships are for
hidden To do. The Canadian Pacific Rail-
road takes freight between Pacific Coast
and Atlantic Coast points without paying
duties when goods pass over the line.

THE OCALA PLATFORM.

The pla tform the Farmers Alliance adopt
ed at Ocala few months ago is falling to
pieces. The principal plank of that plat
form was the Sub-Treasury scheme under
which the Government was to loan so per
ceat Of their market value on non-perisha-
bic products. There was some question at
the time whether the Sub-Treasury scheme
would command the support of majority
OF the Ocala Convention, but by choosing
their time to bring it to vote it obtained
majority of the delegates voting. At several
Farmers Alliance meetings which have re-
Gently been held at which the Sub Treasury
scheme was the question of debate the vote
has been adverse. The farmers begin to
realize that the plan would not work.
