Davy CrOckett's Bear.

Near Rutherford peculiar find was
made which caused no little excitement
and brought back to memory the hero
of the Alamo, we'll known throughout
the United States. The find brought
to the memory of the oldest inhabitants
an incident that had been forgotten by
them. 1t is not generally known that
the old stamping and hunting ground
of the famous Davy Crockett was the
northern portion of Gibson County and
that the old homestead yet stands with
in four miles of this place. 1t was on
the river near town that Davy and his
son in law, Mr.. Flowers, crossed on the
ice covered sycamore. 1t was here too
that Dayy climbed up and slid down a
tree all night to keep from freezing to
death when he was lost in the tall cane
and dark woods one bitter cold night
This famous old man, just before he
left on his fatal mission to Texas caught
cub of bear and placed on its neck
brass collar with "Davy Crockett
engraved upon it. Shortly afterward
Davy left for Texas and nothing more
was thought of the young bear until a
few days ago when number of hunt
ers were out on an island, very Sc
cluded spot. where but few men have
ever had the nerve to 60 to hunt.
The attention of the hunters was at
tracted by peculiar looking snag
abont twelve feet high, and hollow all
the way down. Investigation found
the snag, which had the appearance of
being part of poplar tree, TO be of an
unusually hard substance. Further in
vestigation proved that large pocket
knife would not penetrate the timber,
and the hunters at once came to the
conclusion that the old snag had be-
come completely petrified. The boys
gathered around the old stump and be
gan shakingit when presently it came
down with a crash. The crowd was
almost Mortified at what they found at
the bottom of the shell. 1t was the
petrified bones and hair of Davy's bear
which had grown to be of an enormous
size, the brass collar bearing the inscrip
ton ''Davy Crockett still attached to
the bones about the neck of bruin 4
skeleton. AS soon as the boys collec
ted their wits together they proceeded
to gather up the petrified remains O.
bruin and bring them to town, and ar
rangements arc now being made t.
bring in the shell. There is talk o
sending them to the Worlds Colum
bian Exposition, but some of the party
are opposed to that and say that the /.
shall remain there in living remem
brance of old Davy.

AN EPOCH IN JOURNALISM.
The New York Sunday Press Publishing
an Art Cover in Seven COlOrS,

On Sunday, March l2, The Sunday
Press New York started a feature
that will mark an epoch in American
journalism. 1t consists of an Art Cover
in which the paper when folded to the
quarter size is encosed, and it has Gre
ated an unprecedented demand for the
Sunday Press among all classes of peo-
pie.
The front page of the Art Cover next
Sunday will show a beautiful repro
duction of the German masterpiece,
"St. Cecilia, and for the four Sundays
in April it will present an original wa
ter color design with an art calendar,
an original painting in the original

WGOlden PeriOd.N

In 1S49, under Democratic low Tariff,
referred to by Vice President Steven
son and Hon. William NJ. Springer as
the golden period" in the political
history of this country, the editor OF
this paper, younger in years and in ex
perience than he is now, was living up
on farm in Stephenson County, and
we'll remembers that his father, in the
early spring of that year, went to mar
ket with bushel basket full of fresh
eggs, which he sold to o. H. Wright,
merchant in Freeport, for 3 cents per
dozen, in "store trade" and that for
the eggs so sold calico was purchased
at Is cents per yard. There are great
many old settlersin in Stephenson County
who remember that golden period
of low Tariff and Democratic Govern
ment as we'll as it is remembered by
the editor of this paper. But times
have changed since then. An ex-
change says that Maine farmer went
shopping the other day with twenty
five dozen eggs and obtained in ex
change the following list of articles
which he took home: One half barrel
of -four, bushel of meal, pound
of tea, pound of coffee, five pounds
of sugar, pound of soda, a gallon OF
kerosene oil, a bar of soap, gallon OF
molasses, quarter pound of tobacco
half gallon of vinegar, a package OF
mixed spices and calico dress pat
tern. 1t might have been expected
that man would forget something
and he did, His wife scolded him fol
not bringing a bag of salt.-FreePort

The MacKaye pectatOrium.

In recent talk with a New York
Post reporter, Herr Anton Seidl,
the great orchestra leader of New York
who is thoroughly familiar with the
Bayreuth Festivals, said: II have been
to Chicago to see a model of the Mac
Kaye Spectatorium, mammoth en-
terpriss which will inaugurate new
era in the history and method of stage
spectacle. The staseis three tilues as
large as the immense stage at Bay
reuth and the building would cover
five New York blocks. The Column bian
Celebration Company makes its offer
of unlimited means on the condition
that this must be the grandest and
most interesting stage spectacle ever
witnessed, and thiS condition will be
completely fulfilled. Everything will
be equipped with realism surprising
anything ever seen. Clouds, sunsets,
storms and other phenomena will tran
scend anything ever witnessed at Bay
reuth." Mr. Seidl expressed the hope
, and belief that it would ultimately lead
to grand American Bayreuth Festi
! val.

The Married MOman,s Reign.

The married woman plays much
more important part in our society to-
day than she did ten years ago, and
the almighty girl has lost some of her
supremacy, writes f. Marion Crawford
in his delightful study of "The Ameri-
can Woman, as seen after an absence
of ten years, in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal for April. We are not ruled by
Daisy Miller as we once were, though
the foreigner still seems to think so and
makes the girl the central figure in his
sketches of Americans abroad. But
Daisy Miller was a very real and living
person when Henry James immortal
lied her. 1t was thought at the time
by many that she represented a ten
dency in the future. 1t seems to me,
on the contrary, that she was even then
becoming relic of the past. The om-
impotence of the pert maid is most COM
plete in the village, where she neces-
sarily has more leisure, a lighter heart
and less to think of than the farmers
wife or the laboring man s helpmate.
The impression she produces comes
from her vitality, not from her intel
| ligence, Marriage in the life of the vii
lageis much more serious affair than
in that state of life to which society
considers that it is called. 1t means
hard work, large family, mouths to
feed and clothes to wash. In other
words, it means service, if not servitude
even with the assistance of the modern
farming machinery, which did not ex-
ist in the days when Daisy Miller 8 pro-
genitrix began to be, and when such q
state of things as exists in our time was
not even dreamed Of The village dra-
ma, if the village had one, was no
doubt fundamentally like the drawing
room tragedy of our time, but the ac-
tors were not the same. They were
generally considerably younger and
brought more activity and less thought
to the events in which they played a
part; more sentimentality and less pas
sion; more conventional stage business
and less original power. In the pas
toral state none but the very young
had time for much sentiment. But we
have changed all that and Daisy Miller
no longer plays the leading lady" in
the comedy. That is sign of civiliza-
ton, because civilization means that
which diminishes the difficulties of
material existence and tends to devel-
op what we have agreed to call the
higher side of human nature.

summoned the men for the first bout. God

over the ropes, accompanied by their seconds.
Dominick O'Mslley. the president Of the
club, announced that 1t was not the intention
Of the club to violate the law, but to maintain
its majesty.
So long ~ he was identified with the club no
prize fighting would be tolerated This was
received with laughter and applause, which was
renewed when he told the audience that he ex-
pected them to be gentlemen and to see that
the fair name OF Indiana was neither marred
nor disgraced-
Goddard and Kennedy were then introduced.
The former was seconded By Val Flood. George
Dawson and Solly Smith; Kennedy by Sam
Prowitt, Oscar Collins and Charley Daley. Joe
Harris was timekeeper for Goddard and Mark
Stone for Kennedy.
Time was called at 9:35. and both men went
at 1t hammer and tougs, Goddard getting in
three face blows in succession. Kennedy soon
showed signs of grogginess. and. though he
responded with two body blows, he was sent
to earth. He came up valiantly. but went down
again and again, Goddard beating him right
and left as soon he regained his feet. A
sixth time the colored man got to his feet only
to go down again with a single blow. The bell
saved him for the moment.
In the second round he grasped the ropes
after receiving body blow and in this position
was beaten again and again by his opponent,
was not allowed.
On going down a tenth time the colored man
made courageous effort to continue, but
was counted out. Kennedy bied profusely
from the nose, while Goddard failed to show a
scratch.

Five Washington oatsmen were given first on
balls in succession yesterday in the first inning
without forcing IN q run
Hoy fell asleep on second and was caught on
the base. O'Rourke ran down to second to give
Radford chance to score from third, but Paul
was taking a nap like his side partner, conse-
quentIy O'Rourke was put out and no runs
scored
Then Farrell drove q hot grounder at Dahlen.
He tried to field il, but i. bounded over his
head. Ryan felded il to third in time to catch
Larkin. who had run from first But two runs
had come in
Farmer Yost was the wild youth whom
Farmer Arson had installed in the place for
ond Farrell hit for three bases, scoring Wise
and Larhin, the Colt was sent back to his stall
and Farmer Mauck called forth.
He kept the Senators guessing awhile.
Anson's men. meanwhile, scored on . base on
balls and q triple.
But worse Was to come. In the fourth our
boys deliberately handed over fours to the
visitors Two singles and base on balls filed
the bases. Parrost followed with a hit toward
Wise, who could have easily made double
play on il. but Sullivan ran across the diamond
and reaching the ball with his left hand d.
verted its course enough to make the hut safe,
and two scored
A couple Of minutes later Schriver hit to
third. Mulvey made beautiful stop. Then
followed one of those wild. weird, golden
