OF the yarns which have delighted the
Tromso people:
In the perpetual darkness Of winter,
% the desolate polar regions, We could
hardly zee our hands before our faces.
One night when the whole ships com.
pany were snug below, " suddenly
heard the dogs barking most furiously.
II was Ship Carpenter M0gstAd's

~ he could see nothing, hs went down

were just barking for the sake Of bark

noise was repeated at intervals, % he
went up on deck again, aud, taking .
lantern, saw that several Of the AMI

the Ice from the deck Of the ship.
which at the time was high above the
Ice surface. They walked OF . little.
distance from the chip, to sse IL they
could ind any tracks.
As they were searching about, with
no more formidable weapon than .
small lantern between them, all at
once q polar bear sprang up before
them. Then there was race between
the three-the men and the bear-to
the ship. MoEstad, q bit more light
footed than his mate, reached tho
Fran first, but fell down twice on to
the Ice a. he was climbing up her side.
At the second fall he could not help
mutterin1 to himself, CHOW the bears
got you, my friend" But despair
steadied his nerves, and he managed
to hoist himself safely up behind the
ships bulwarks. He had hardly got
on board, however, when he heard his
comrade call out, and saw that the
bear had got hold Of him and had Bit
ten him. But Henrlksen, who IL q big,
resolute fellow, dealt his as
sailant such a blow on the head with
the lighted lantern he was carrying,
that the brute, half stunned and half
scared, let go its prey, and Henriksen
seized the opportunity to skip up the
Fram's side. The bear revenged itself
by Selling one Of the dogs. On q
closer investigation being made, It was
found that the bear had paid two Wis
its to the ship during the night, creep
ing in through an open port holt, and
had carried OF a dog each time.
One day, when Nansen and Johansen
had to pass along somewhat narrow
path they were suddenly attacked by
a bear. Johansen, who Is man of no
ordinary strength, caught hold Of his
enemy's throat with a grin of iron.

WORD comes from the hunting
party at Buford on. Monday, and states
that they had trouble crossing the
Missouri as it was frozen over, but
not strong enough to bear q team.
The luggage was taken over on hand
sleighs. Inspector Kimmen however
took considerable persuasion before
he would trust himself on the ice.
He wanted to 60 round the river on
dry land. He has great objection to
water except as q beverage, and is q
little suspicious of the crowd he is in,
as he il the only democrat along.

FOUND BY CATHODE RAYS.

A BucISshOt Located in a Mans
Hand.
The first practical experiment in Chicago
with Roentgen's rays was made Tuesday
by Electrician Charles E. Scribner and DR..
James BURY, in the laboratory Of the West
ern Electric Company
Casper Schmidt went to the office of the
Western Electric Company, complaining of
a sore spot in the region of the palm of the
hand. He said he had been shot In the hand
two years ago, but was unable to locate the
affected part.
Accordingly, Schmidt was conducted to
the Roentgen quarters, and, after an hour 8
exposure to the cathode rays, the sensitized
plate, upon which rested the afflicted men,
ber, was taken to the Photographic loom.
When developed the plate disclosed a most
excellent likeness of the anatomy of the
hand, also what appeared to be buckshot
snugly ensconsed between the metacarpal
bones OF the third and fourth fingers, about
an 1nch and half below the knuckle.
A silver print will be made from the mega
tive, and the buckshot will then be removed
by DR.. BURY, using the photograph or
shadowgraph as a guide.
DR.. BURY and Electrician Scribner are
justly enthusiastic over their success, and
predict for the "X'' rays vast field of use
fulness, especially in the domain of medi-
cine and surgery. The experiment will be
repeated, and new methods and improved
apparatus will be used.

CHARLOTTE HALL BURNS.
A Famous Maryland IhstitutiOn o
Learning in Ashes.


Learning I'm Ashes.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun,
dated Bowie, February II, says: The main
building of Charlotte Hall School, one of the
Oldest and most widely known educational
institutions in Maryland, was destroyed by
fire last night. The fire originated from a
defective f1ue. The house of Maj. George
NJ Thomas, president Of the academy,
caught fire from the sparks from the burn
Ing building, but his house was saved, es
were also the books, Gesks and guns in the
school building. The walls fell in, but no
one was hurt.
Charlotte Hall School is on the Wand P.R
R., in St. Mary's county, about twenty miles
northwest of Leonardtown. 1t Is situated
| on the highlands between the Potomac and
the Patuxent, upon a sandy and level
stretch of land. The village Of Charlotte
Hall, nearby, contains about one hundred
Inhabitants.
| Military training was feature Of the in
stitution, which was frequently described
as @ military academy, though II is desig-
| mated by the law as Charlotte Hall School.
! 1t was founded in the last century. The
| first mention of the institution appears in
the Maryland Gazette Of December 3, 177i,
| In which a plan was outlined for uniting the
| county free schools of st. Marys, Charles
Calvert and Prince Georges. When it was
established by the Legislature that body
named as its president Governor Eden and

| Platter, George Gowndrill, John Reeder
Thomas Bond, Richard Barnes Philip Key
| and Henry Greenfield Sotheron Cor ST

| for Charles, and Benedict Calvert, Rev
Henry Addison, Josias Beall, Robert Tyler
| Joseph Sim, Thomas Contee and DR.. Rich.
| ard Brooke for Prince Georges county
| The property of each of the county free
schools was ordered to be transferred te
| this board, to be used for the benefit of the
| school.
| The states aid has been continued to 1,
| ever since, and the legislature of 1894 an
propriated 5000 year for its ,lse the ap
preparation, by the terms of the act, L
| continue for five years.
| Bishop Thomas John Clasgett was 8
member of one of the early boards of trus

Major BENZ. Butterworth in opening, paid
d glowing tribute to Lincoln's memory,
saying that next to Washington the mar

Major Richard L. Ashhurst; '"The Founders
Of the Republic-The Lessons of the PAS"
William H. Armstrong.
The Young Republican banquet was held
in the Manufacturers' CLUB. The princi-
pal guest was Representative w. E. Bar
rett Of Massachusetts. Mr.. Barrett gave
a sketch of Lincoln's career, in eulogistic
terms, and in conclusion referred to the
presidential possibilities Of 1896. His final
T words shaped into e vigorous boom for

Club, In commemoration of the birth OF
Abraham Lincoln, 1900 men cheered the
Ohioan with the vehemence of enthusiastic
admiration.
1t was the tenth annual banquet given by
the club, and 1t was intended there would
be 1900 guests. More than that number by
800 came, and an overflow banquet was
necessary. The guest of honor was Mr.
Mckinley. He spoke to the toast, "Abra.
ham Lincoln" The occasion was particu.
larly notable as the first public appearance
of Ohfo's famous son in another state since
his return from the governorship to the po
sition of a private citizen.
Among those at the speakers table, be-
sides Mr.. Mckinley, were the republican
governors Of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania

The following telegram from Speaker
Reed was received and read:
'Lincoln's public life was an example OF
true republicanism; possible progression
consistent with order; all possible con
servatism, but no halt in civilization. HI

Jack the Ripper Has a Rival in San
FranciscO.r
The police are inclined to believe that
there is a stranger in San Francisco who
may equal or possibly eclipse the record of
London's notorious Jack the Ripper, who
within the course of year or two murdered
many fallen women. Within the last few
days young girl on Morton street has been
strangled to death by an unknown assassin,
and several other women in the same vicin-
ity have been beaten, stabbed and strangled,
escaping without leaving a trace by which
he could be detected. q lo
