THE English people did not take
kindly to expositions They could not
SEQ in advance direct returns. Manu-
facturers feared disastrous effect Of
comparison between their products and
those OF other firms and er coun-
tries. Shopkeepers feared that buying
would cease in their houses because
people would run after novelties in the
exhibitions. This fear was accentuat-
cd by apparent direct losses in manage
ment OF great show undertakings
Although the exhibition OF 1851 gave
q net profit Of more than million dol
lars preceding and subsequent ones
showed deficits in the formal balance
sheets All French expositions have
not been direct financial successes
The losses incurred by the British rep
,-esentation at the Paris exposition Of
1855 discouraged the British govern
ment from generous appropriations for
subsequent ones.

All Good Americans.

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 2S.-At the
next meeting Of the Catholic hierarchy
of the United States, letter OF thanks
will be sent to the pope in the name OF
the bishops of the country, thanking
him for having rejected the petition Of
Herr Cahensly and his associates. The
hierarchy looked upon the memorial as
an unwarrantable interference with the
business OF the Catholic church in the
United States.
To man, the bishops were against
it. The petition was considered an in
suit to the American hierarchy. 1t is
more than likely that in some sections
of the country the laymen would have
been called upon to assemble in mass
meeting and denounce the work OF the
meddlers. The bishops believe that
there should be no race in the United
States, and some Of them are in favor Of
the government taking positive action
in suppressing the teaching Of any Ian
guage in any school but the English
language.

New YORK, July 27.-John Clarke 10
sailor who makes living and man
ages to save little something as stew
ard OF the handsome yatch Vito, owned
by Lawrence Brown,a wealthy resident
OF Naragansett Pier. His savings af-
ter his last pay day left him with $3.50
in his pockets. Clarke had great con-
fidence In real estate about YonKers and
he went up there to make an invest
ment. A real estate man quickly
showed him some property that was
bound to double In value In two years."
80 Clarke purchased 1t, paying 800 on
account Then he started for home
with the remaining $50 in his pocket.
Like many sailors Clarke has weak
ness for strong drink. He purchased
some. Then he purchased some more
and kept on purchasing until he was in
gorgeous state OF inebriation. He
did not even know where he was going
but there were two young fellows who
we're keeping watch over him. They
were Oscar Feis. l9:years old, and VIM.
Collins, also 10 years old, who reside
somewhere on the East Side. Both
are very disreputable, looking
young fellows. But while these two
young rutfiians were watching the ine-
briated Clark there was u bright messen-
ger boy, James O'ConnOr. belonging at
the Hoffman House, who was watching
them. In East Twenty-sixth street,
near Madison avenue, the boy saw the
two roughs push and hold Clarke up
against fence and he saw Feis put his
hand into Clarke's pocket and take out
q roll OF money. Then he saw the
young fellows divide their booty. He
followed them, at the same time keep
ing his eyes open for policeman. They
jumped on street car. He ran after it
for several blocks and then encountered
Policeman Flaherty. II took him but
moment to tell the officer what he had
seen and Flaherty gave chase. He
found the pair OF highway robbers on
the front platform OF the Car and ar
rested them. In their pockets they
had $l4, which they had taken from
Clarke. In the meantime the bright
messenger boy had run back to Twenty
sixth street. There he found Police
man Thompson trying to lug Clarke
to the station. The boy went with him
and told Captain Reilly his story.
Clarke was too badly intoxicated to
talk, 80 he was locked up over night.
This morning he was taken to jefferson
Market Court and from there he was
taken over to Yorkville police court,
where Justice McMahen received his
complaint against the two men who
had robbed him. Then the whole
story was told by the messenger boy.
The Justice told O'Connor that he
should get place on Inspector Byrne's
staff when he got q little older. The
two prisoners were held in $1,000 bail
for trial.

KANSAS CITY, July 27.-As presaged
the limit on thee. A. Il. tickets from
Western Passenger association points
has been broken.
The action of the Alton in making
the tickets good over that road until
September 30 is the cause OF the break.
The Santa Fe announced to-day that
it would make the limit on the G. A. X.
tickets from all points on its road good
for thirty days obtainable by depositing
the tickets at Detroit.
This action will do away with the &C
ton OF the Western association in max
ing the limit ten days, and all OF the
roads in the association will follow the
Santa Fe in making the thirty-day
limit.
The trouble predicted regarding the
present rates is likely to break out at
any time. Rumors OF charges to be
made are floating around and the pros
pects OF u miniature rate war alhone
certain OF the Western association
roads are considered pretty fair. Nearly
all OF the roads have made their con
tracts to meet any rate that Is made
and the chances are that they Will bt
called upon to make their promises
good.

ing rates for the G. A, r. encampment

HE PHOTOGRAPHED A BEAR.
But He Probably Omitted the ''smlle dent
", Please"

ly, Please"
Henry h. Raglan in his travels is
alert to all opportunities to catch strik-
ing photographs for use in his lectures.
Last summer, in Yellowstone park, he
undertook the risky business OF photo
graphing wild bear.
He learned from the hotel clerk that
the bear had made its appearance for
several evenings at o'clock. 1t roamed
freely for no hunting is allowed in Vel
lowstone park. Mr.. Raglan accom-
panied by the clerk, went with his
camera to the place frequented by the
bear, dropped piece OF meat and ad-
justed his camera with focus on the
meat about forty-fve feet away.
Upon the sudden disappearance of the
clerk Mr.. Raglan for the first time re-
hected that, though camera is an ef-
fective weapon in some respects, 1t is
not first class means of self-defense in
an encounter with bear at short range.
Besides his camera he had a pocket
knife. However, he overcame a feeling
OF growing discomfort and waited. The
clerk soon reappeared with another
man, and they were stationed behind
some bushes near by.
The bear was not long in making its
entrance. AS he saw Mr.. Ragan he
broke from walk into a trot toward
him. Mr.. Raglan, trne to the pleasure
of future audiences, stood firm. When
about sixty feet away the bear arose on
his hind legs to make study OF Mr..
Raglan and his queer apparatus. The
lecturer quickly readiusted the camera
and caught Bruin in this reflective at
titude. The bear then discovered the
meatsand Immediately became more in
terested in 1t, as evidenced by trotting in
that direction.
The cameras focus was again changed
ard the bear was again pictorially cap
tured as he rose on his hind legs; the
meat dangling from his mouth, and gave
a defiant look at the photographers. The
bear and the lecturer then parted, both
