r. Sweet and John Thomas, living at
Sandy, had lively adventure with a.
bear Il few days ago, which the former
at least does not care to repeat. They
were out fishing in the Bull Run. Sweet
was by himself, and Thomas, who had
gun, was some distance off While the
former was quietly waiting for a bite
from fish, ne heard a rustic in the
bushes behind, but thinking it was his
companion paid no attention. A moment
later ne turned and looked, and saw
something that caused each particular
hair to stand erect and cold chills to run
down his back. A big black bear only q
few feet off was regarding him with some
curiosity. The fisherman did hot wait to
find out what the bear wanted, but fed
through the brush. with the bear close
after him. He soon came to the place
where Thomas was fishing, when the lat
ter seized his gun and shot the bear in
the head as he came up, killing him.

How TO Send Stamps.

Cut with a sharp penknife two parallel
Sits at the top of your letter and slip in
your stamps, which will thus travel as
safely as if in a special paper case. Per
haps you have been in a country village
where money orders and postal notes are
unknown, and, for some reason, it be
comes necessary to send change in a letter.
Cut a piece of light cardboard the size of
the envelope, and from this cut circular
pieces the size of your coins. Insert the
coins and paste a slip of paper across one
or both sides-DemOrest' Monthly

Must Sell to the Government.

1t is contrary to law for private in
diyidual to buy gold from the mines of
Transyaal. The entire products of the
mines must be sold to the Dutch govern
ment at rates fixed by statutes, and any
person found with uncoined gold in his
possession IS liable to severe punishment.
This somewhat singular law is being en-
forced rigidly, and quite a number of
well-to-do people have been sent to prison
for violating its provisions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The commissioners
of accounts, who have been investigating
transactions of the dock board for some
time, turned yesterday into the field COW
cred by the Lexow committee, and brought
forward testimony which, for the first
time, duplicates Thomas Byrnes, the noted
ex-superintendent of police, in the black

for many years keeper of gambling
houses, testified under oath that for ''pro-
lection" he made an agreement with
Byrnes, then captain of police, that the
latter should receive one-fourth share of
the profits of the business, which was
keno. The witness regularly paid Byrnes
each month a fourth share of
the profits. The partnership continued
for ten months, during which he paid not
less than 81, 600. He also testified to pay
ing money which went to other police Of
ficials, including ex-Inspector Williams.

THE INVESTIGATION BEGUN F.!
Philadelphia'S Municipal Corruption to
be Exposed
MONSTER INCREASE IN EXPENSES
1t Costs S29 600 600 a Year to Run the
City Now, While in 1887 the Cost
Was Only So 900 600 Contracts
Invariably Violated.

PHILADELPHIA Nov 12.-The senate in
Vestigating committee appointed to in
quire into the workings of the municipal
government under the new city charter
met yesterday in the Hotel Metropole, and,
after partial mode of procedure had been
laid down by Lawyer Angelo Freedley, ex-
Rnined one witness and adjourned until
this afternoon.
The members of the investigating com
hittee are: w. II Andrews, Crawford coun-
ty;Samuel J. McCarroll, Dauphin; John C.
Grady, Philadelphia; f. b. Hardenberg,
Wayne; Arthur Kennedy Allegheny, and
G. Wesley Thomas, ex-oflicio, as president
pro tenn. of the senate.
Every member of the committee was
present except Senator c. Wesley Thomas,
of Philadelphia. Silas w. Petit, counsel
for the committee, was also absent, but it
was announced that he would be on hand
in few days. In the meantime Mr. Freed
ley will examine the witnesses. He rep
resents the Citizens Municipal associa-
tion, the organization which urged the
passage of the resolution and which fur
nished the $40, 900 necessary to conduct the
inquiry
Lawyer Freedley opened the business Of
the day by addressing the committee on
the powers and jurisdiction rested in it by
the resolution. He spoke of the necessity
of the investigation, stating that since the
new charter went into effect, in 1887, until
the present time the cost of maintaining
the various municipal departments has
increased from SS,000,00O per year to over
S29 900. In conclusion he referred to
street cleaning, collection of ga bage and
ashes, ETC., and said he would direct the
investigation towards that department
before touching elsewhere. He then offered
in evidence the annual report of the city
controller from 1887 to 1894, showing the
expenses of the city government.
T. b. M. Adds general agent of the
Citizens Municipal association, was then
sworn. He said he was familiar with the
contracts and specifications agreed to by
the contractors in these branches of the
city work He showed that the amount
doubled the amount bid for 1890 He then
gave figures of the amount bid for 1895,
which showed much less figure, not
withstanding there was much more work
to be performed this year.
Mr. Adds then referred to the specifica-
tions accompanying contracts, and said
they were invariably violated. While he
was testifying to some items in such
specifications Senator Grady moved to ad-
journ. Before doing so Chairman An
drews said that an effort would be made
to obtain more commodious quarters for
the remaining sessions.
