BOUND TO GET THAT HIVE.
Bear, Bees, Man and Horse Make Things
Exceedingly Lively.

Bear, Bees, Man and Horse Make Things
Exceedingly Lively.
SCRANTON, April 2O-George Phillips. of
Locust Ridge, pat hive of bees in the hind end
of his light spring wagon and started for his
son-inlaw's along the old Sullivan road. While
ascending hill in the Spencer Woods Phillips
heard something scratching around the end
board, and looking back he saw bear in the
act of clawing the hive from the wagon. He
gave the thievish brute smart cut with his
WHIP and it backed off with a snarl of pain, but
continued to follow him to the top of the hill
When the wagon struck the down grade the
bear rushed forward and again tried to pull the
beehive out, but another cut of the whip sent
it growing into the ditch, from which it soon
waddled and made its third attempt to get its
claws on the hive. Mr.. Phillips then whipped
up his horse. and the bear chased the wagon to
the foot of the hill, where it made a lunge for
the hive once more. The BEARS persistence
angered Mr.. Phillips ana stopping the horse,
he stepped over the seat and lashed the bear
around its head and neck until it was glad 90
get beyond his reach. 1t went growing into
the bushes by the roadside and Mr.. Phillips
started on again. thinking that he had at
last got rid of the trOu ublesome beast.
No sooner had he urged his nag into trot
than the bear dashed from the side of the road,
arose on its haInches. and made break for the
hive over the OF hind wheel. Its paws landed
between the spokes of the revolving wheel.
the bear was thrown forward, all the spokes
were broken out by the bears legs the hub
struck the ground, the BEEHIVE rumbled out on
top of the bear, and then the wagon stopped
suddenly. The hive was cracked by the fall,
and the angry bees poured out and went to
singing the bear; the bear beloved, took to
the brush in hurry, and tore through it ap-
parently in great pain, and Mr.. Phillips de-
serted his wrecked rig and legged it down the
muddy road TO a safe distance.
Pretty soon the old nag began to snort and
act as If something was bothering him. In
moment he kicked up his heels and tried to run
away, but the hub dragged in the mud and kept
him from getting under good headway. and he
finally broke loose from the wagon and raced
down the road toward where Mr.. Phillips was
resting on a log fence. Scores of the enraged
bees were darting at the old nag's neck, but
MIR. Phillips didn't try to stop the horse on that
account. He galloped clear down to Horace
Woods place, where he turned in the barnyard
all out OF wind and leaned against stack of
straw for support Mir. WooGs found the old
nag covered with mud, and there wasn't q bee
near him, but he had been badly stung on his
neck and breast while he was cantering along
the road.
Mr.. Phillips reached Mr. Woods 20 minutes
later, and he and Mr.. Woods took rifles and
went back to hunt for the bear. They traced it
to the edge of Owl Swamp, where they found it
wallowing in mud puddle, and they fired three
bullets into its head, killing 1t before it had
time to crawl out.

accomplish what is needed.

JERRY's SAD MISTAKE.

The Kansas Congressman Learns Something
About Hotels.
New York Recorder.l
Let the Hon. Jeremiah Simpson relate the
incident as it occurred, and no more will the
Kansas farmer fear him or scorn him because
he was the guest Of S6-a-day hotel.
When the weary statesman-hungry because
he had been boarding for week in New Eng
handicapped his carpet bag on the floor of
the New York Hotel he said to the clerk:
"How much for room and boardT
"Six dollars"
Does that include washing such things as
soc-hose and SO onT
Laundry charges are extra"
Guess l can stand it," mused Jerry. II
never got it for less than 81 in Kansas" And
down went his name, and several admiring bell
boys took him in charge.
BY the DIM morning light, as Jerry lay in half
sleep and wondered why he heard not the
clarion call of the feathered Alliance songsters
of his native State, mis- eye fell upon legend
that brought him to his feet:
"This room S6 day."
And l thought it meant by the weekp' he
groaned, and when breakfast was over he paid
his bill and went away a sadder and a poorer
man.

Two Fine Fighters.

A Lycoming County Huntsman Captures
Two Fine Fighters.
WILL1AMsPoRT. April 20-While trout fish,
ing q few days ago G. A. Sheets. of @ Quigelville,
had the novel experience of witnessing fierce
combat between a golden eagle and a hawk
Both birds were of immense size, and the fight
was to the death.
At favorable opportunity Mr.. Sheets sprang
from his place of cOncealment and succeeded
in capturing the birds. The talons of the eagle
were so firmly imbedded in the flesh of the
hawk that it required great effort TO separate
them. The hawk only lived few moments,
but MIR. Sheets succeeded in getting the eagle
home, where he is keeping it captive.
The eagle measures seven feet from tip to
tip and has talons eight inches IN length. From
head to tail it measures two feet. The hawk
measured four feet four inches from tip to tip.
The golden eagle is a very scarce bird in this
section of the State, this being the first one
seen for many years.

WONDERS IN WARP AND wooF.
The Magnificent Tapestries Owned by
Washingtonian.

Inc Magnlncent Tapestries owned Dy
Washingtonian.
Perhaps the rarest collection of tapestries to
be found in America is that owned by Mr..
Charles M. Ffoulke, who for the last Is years
has made the collection Of these works of art
his special mission in life. Two of the fine
large tapestries which now adorn the walls of
the gallery. built especially for this purpose in
the Massacbus usetts avenue residence of the
owner. are valued at $1,000 The landscapes
represented are essentially Roman.
These tapestries were made at the Pontihcal
mandatory founded by Cardinal Francois
Barberini at Rome. The cartoons were painted
by Nicholas Poussin and the tapestries woven
under the superintendence of Jacques della
Riviera. In the top borders Of all these tapes
tries is cartouch inclosing the laughing face
of Bacchus encrcled by garlands OF flowers. In
the lower borders is a cartouch with a IN edal-
lion center supported by two young satyrs. The
medallion inclOses three bees, the emblem of
the Barberini family. encircled by wreath.
The side borders are composed almost entirely
of magniicently sculptured caryatides holding
upon their heads vases filled with flowers and
standing upon pedestals ornamented with
sphinxes and heads of the sacred Egyptian
ram. These caryatides are modelled after the
idols consecrated to the Egyptian goddess Ar
tennis, sister of Apollo.

OUR MAIL POUCH.
The Present Trouble in India.


To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
THE DISPATCH of the 18th instant attributes
the present rebellion in India to the dislike the
high caste Hindoos have to the opium traffic
The opium traffic has nothing whatever to do
with the present uprising. as the major por-
tion of those who cultivate the opium are Hin
docs, and it being an article from which they
reap much gain, it would not seem likely that
they would look with favor on its discontinu-
ance. Especially is this true of the high caste
Hindoos, who have the means to cultivate the
article without the assistance of the Govern
ment, and consequently reap larger gains from
the crop than the lower class to which the
Government furnish the means to irrigate, till
and fertiiize the soil. and holds lien on the
crop, which is harvested and disposed ofsunder
. the supervision Of the opium officers of the
British Government, and all money advanced
by the Government deducted 1t is not at all
likely. then, that those who enjoy the greatest
benefits of the cultivation and traffic in opium
should make it the prime cause of the present
movement.
The true cause is in the enlightened and in
telligent condition that the natives have at
tanned. The advantages for education for the
past rs years have been excellent, and the
schools and higher institutions Of learning
have brought the native population up to
standard OF intelligence far above that Of many
other nations.
Iney are to-uay the mental ana moral eQuais,
and in some cases superior. to those who are
placed by the Government over them. A large
number of educated natives fill important posi-
tions under the Government. both in the
gazerted and non-gazetted lists, and they feel
that they are being held under control by a few
foreigners, while they themselves are fully
capable of seli-government, and the yoke is
daily becoming more calling and the desire to
throw it of greater. Naturally an intellectual
and ambitious race, they have been educated
to that degree where they see their own capa-
bilities, and are ready to declare their ability
and determination to govern themselves.
A residence in India for over quarter of
century and an intimate knowledge of the
situation very clearly demonstrates to the
writer that this is the true cause of the present
trouble and that the British Government will
have to encounter the same spirit that it did in
1776 with the American coIonies-a spirit of
freedom that is constantly growing and cannot
be subdped. RH. G.

NOT EVEN COMIC OPERA,

To Say Nothing of the Higher Glass of
Drama, Popular on the Stage.
Digby Bell, in New York Morning JournaI1
Comic opera of the day? There Is no such
.hng Musical extravaganza, that is what is
masuuerading under the name of comic opera.
nowadays. This thing that is, by courtesy,
called comic opera is no more like pure opera
comiuue than is "The Old Homestead" with
its double quartet.
1t is a hybrid a cross between farce comedy
and spectacular burlesque. IL is just what the
people want, however. The public wants TO
laugh prodigiously, and to have it's ears tickled
with sweet melodies, and a mere soupcon of
the latter is all that is necessary. This desire
to be amused to laugh with but little effort, is
a natural growth.

Jupiter,s Double Moon.

Scientific Americana
The Lick telescope is the most powerful glass
in the world. 1t is reported that the observers
at Mount Hamilton have lately kept a sharp
eye turned upon the shadow of one of the
moons of the planet Jupiter. This shadow
seemed double. indicating that the tiny moon
which cast 1t is also double. Since the first
hint of the discovery many observations have
been made through the Lick glass; all tending
to confirm the original impression, to wit: that
this particular satellite of the greatest of the
planets is double-a dot of q moon revolving
around the main moon.

Rerald writing down Senator PETER as "a first

in the Massachusetts House because 'they have

a fair conclusion that demagogy is not con-
