SHOOTING A BEAR.
An Exciting Adventure that Occurred In
nh Ohio Cave.

An Exciting Adventure that Occurred In
nh Ohio Cave.
In the History of Athens County,"
O., says the Youths Companion. Jo-
scph Bobo relates an adventure in
which his father took n leading part.
He and one of his neighbors, a Mr..
Shidler, found Il hole in the rocks which
they thought might conceal bear. Mr.
Bobo lighted torch and started in to cx-
plorc, while Shidlcr stood outside ready
to shoot if bruin tried to escape.
Father went into the cave about twcn-
ty-fivc feet, and was on the point of Civ
ing up the search, when suddenly n
bear, which had been crouching behind
rock, rose up and struck the torch with
his paw. Thctorch fell to the floor and
was distinguished.
Father didn't wait for ceremony, but
got ont of the cave as quickly as posi-
bic, and told Shidler what had hap
pcned. All remained quiet, and, after
waiting awhile, father lighted another
torch and went in again to shoot the
bear. He proceeded cautiously, and the
moment his eyes fell on the bear he
fred, but only wounded the animal.
Bruin uttered n tremendous growl,
and father saw him coming. Quick as
thought father threw down the torch
and lay fiat on his face. The bear
rushed for the mouth of the cave, claw
ing viciously ut fathers head and body
rs he passed over him; but,Shidler was
ready for the brute, and when he showed
himself ut the hole gave him an ounce
of lead that settled him.
Fathers wounds, though not serious.
were bad enough to leave sears for the
rest of his life. The bear weighed three
hundred and ninety pounds.

re PLAYED SLOW.

And So tho Manager Thonght tho Greas
vlolinist Vas Doing Poor Work.
A music teacher who lives in small
town in central Ohio tells u delicious
story which goes to show what unap-
prcciative cars classical music some
times falls on, when the owners Of the
cars think that nothing is good music
unless it is fast and lively" The Incl
dent, says the New York Herald, oc-
Cured during u concert given by August
Wilhelmj, the great German violinist.
Wilhclmj. as is known by musicians,
particularly cScels in rendering andante
or adagio movements, containing much
pathos and deep feeling.
The proprietor of the town hall had
heard of the great artist, and although
he had no more idea of what the per
formancc of solo violinist of tho first
rank would be than he had of the pres
ent system of political economy in tho
planet Mars, lie thought it would be n
paying investment to engage the great
violinist for 81 concert, and accordingly
did SO at II price which looked ruinous
to his townsmen.
The attendance on the night of the
concert, proved, unfortunately, that the
musical culture of the place was not
sufficiently advanced TO fill the house,
for there was only a handful of people
in the hall ut eight o'clock, the time for
commencing the concert.
The music teacher who tells the story
arrived after the concert had COM
mcnced He found the manager taking
tickets at the door.
"Well, Jim," he asked, ''how's it 60
ing?"
The manager looked up with an air
of deep detection. He said nothing, but
plucking his friends sleeve he led him
silently to the door of the hall and
opened it and looked in. On the stage
stood Wilhclmj with all the classic re-
pose of statue. He was playing n
soulful adagio. AS he drew his bow
slowly across the strings he drew forth
tones which seemed almost like melo-
dious sobs in their sweet pathos. Ills
great lcmon-colorcd Strandivarius VIC
lin, 'thc Messiah" seemed to sing al
most like thing of life. The few peo-
pie who were there sat cntranced and
brcathless, drinking in the matchlcss
tones.
'Well. you see for yourself, pro
fcssor,'" said the manager to the music
teacher. I'm paying that chap three
hundred dollars for this concert, and
lookec how slow he's a playin'."

worshIplng Medicine Bottles.

A good story is told by the Modern
Church. An eminent lady missionary in
Burmah recently gave DR.. a. j. Gordon
an instructive but somewhat startling
chapter from her experience. In one of
her tours, she said, she came upon a
village where cholera was raging.
Having with her quantity of famous
painliiller, she went from house to
house administering the remedy to the
invalids, and left a number of bottles
to be used after she had gone. Return
ing to the village some months after,
the missionary was met by the head
man of the community, who chccred
and delighted her by this intelligence:
'Teuchcr, we have come over to your
side; the medicine did us so much good
that we have accepted your God"
Overjoyed at this news, she was con-
Quoted to the house of her informant,
who, opening a room, showed her the
painkiller bottles solcmnly arranged in
row upon 4 shelf, and before them
the whole company Immediately pros
trated themselves in worship.

The new library was received, together
with handsome case which was made
by John Pepper. A vote of thanks was

AS soon as tho basement of Grace

it leads direct into the lumber belt of

MIR. BLAINE DECLINES.

The announcement by Secretary
Blaine that he is not a Presidential
candidate and that his name will not go
before the Republican National Conven-
ton withdraws from the field the most
marked and brilliant of Republican
Presidential possibilities. The reasons
which have led to this withdrawal rest
within the inscrutable bosom of Mr..
Blaine. They can merely be surmised
by the outside world.
1t is stated with high authority that
Mr.. Blaine's letter of declination has
been promised since early last summer.
Since President Harrison has been a
recognized candidate for denomination,
it would seem strange that he harbored
another Presidential candidate in his
immediate political family, and the
promise of the forthcoming letter gives
the explanation.
Mr.. Blaine's health has, too, been a
constant subject of discussion in the
press, and here, too. close information is
to the effect that has become more pre-
carious than ever, so much so that the
strain of Presidential campaign would
be fatal beyond doubt.
NJ. Harrison will not be without
competitors. Senators Cullom, of Illi-
nois, and Allison, of Iowa; Gen. Alger,
of Michigan; Judge Gresham, and
Robert 7. Lincoln are aspirants. Alger
alone of this group possesses elements
which can rally and hold coherent
force against President Harrison. The
President possesses marked individu-
atty to greater extent than either of
his three immediate Republican prede-
cessors. He has never failed to present
strong argument to support whatever
position he has assumed. Granting that
he is a party President, his positions
have been supported, with the excep-
ton OF the Force bill, by overwhelming
majoriues of his party.
With this in view there is no visible
reason why the denomination should not
como to him without struggle.
