hitched to a sappling and dead. The
animal had evidently starved to death,
as the leaves and twlgs, as far around

away and deep holes were paved into
the ground. 1t is conjectured that the
horse was stolen and had been hitched
and abandoned where found by the

Preston Dunlap, who spends most of
his time lookin after his sheep and
other possessions near Cranb berry
G. ladies', north of here, had quite an ad.
venture with bear on Tuesday, the
3Oth. He and one Charles Rose, who
works for him, were repairing II brush
fence in rough brushy section, when
they came upon a large female bear and
three small cubs. They had no guns,
but Mr.. Dunlap had IN axe, and Rose S
large and highly priced mastifr was
with him. The dog was urged to at
tack the bear and bounded into the lair
among the cubs. The old bear received
him with open arms, embraced him
and then began to slap him and thresh
the ground with him. Mr.. Rose took
to sapling, and, while flied with hor-
ror at the treatment his dog was re-
ceiving, concluded, like the man who
was freed by a bull, to keep his perch.
Mr.. Dunlap, however, was not so eX-
cltable, and rushing upon the bear with
his axe dealt blow that would have
killed it but for some brush, which
turned his axe, causing 1T to intlict only
a Slight wound on the bears head
This blow, instead Of engaging the bear
and causing her to fight for her young,
as is generally the case, put her to flight,
and she went numbering off through the
laurel and underground, making ire
mendous racket. The cubs, which
were not large enough to give any trou,
ble, were dispatched and Mr.. Rose, de.
scending from his perch in the tree,
said, Il wouldn't a run upon that
bar for the best dog ever seed" The
dog was rendered hOrs de combat, but
will recover. Later on in the day some
dogs were collected and an exciting
bear chase was INDUCED in, but the
bear eluded all efforts to capture her.
The Cranberry country affords an eX-
cellent hiding place for bear. On the
rough mountain sides, in the solitude
of the deep hollOws, in the laurel thick
cts remote from the haunts Of man
they can nearly always find a retreat
but notwithstanding that, there has
been more bear killed there than In any
of the wilds of this or adjoining coun
ties. 1t was there that Dayid Thomp
son killed one weighing nearly coo
pounds, the largest ever heard of il
this section of the country.
There are several aspirants for Tho
postoflice here. If the civil service ac'
is adhered to the would.be pOssessor'
of this plum will have to wait until thu
present incumbent's term of office OK

THE FUTURE WORK
 OF THE STATE FEDERATION

There is a p.obalb lity that the execu- tive board of the State Federation of Womens clubs xa'a convene at Bilming- ham about the 25d instant. owing to the fact that Montgomery, the place selected for the meeting. has b cen afflicted VI h the willow fever epidemic, and the presr- dent elf tine federation is at present the guest of friends in this city.
 Another. fact in favor of having the sessions of the executive board h Id here is that the local fedetaion will mset at that time arid it is very desirable to weld the club inter tlls together, so that some- thing may be accomplished by the wo- men of Alabama for the good of hunlan- ity.s
 The matter nearest the hearts of g. majority of the good women of the etate is ths establishment ef a reformateGy OF industrial school for young esfnlfrals, It is wholly unnecessary to al gIe tha need of such am institution. That is con ceded by every man and woman in the state, who has gven the subject serious thought. It is a reprcach to the civliza- ton of the day. that a little child| who commits a nisdemeanor, should b. in- caf'cerated within the wallis of al jaa or labor on a chain gang with handered murderer or hopeless thief
 Such association wfH destroy a boys sf-respect, and familfaIrize his receptive mind with the darkest, most disgusting and repulsive side of human nature. Un- der the present cond tions. the punish ment administered for faults and mis- conduct is making a class of criminals in the state, who will evsntua7ly find their way eilher to the pen,tenttary or the gallows Alabama owes much to the youth of the state; she should throw around the boys and girls ev ny possi- ble influence which will tend to their uplifting and improvement.
 It has belen suggested by ore of the influential. charitable wom n of Birming- ham that the reformatory would accom- plfhs mere good if it should be known as the industrial school. In this view of the matter, she is eminently colrecf She thinks, and thinks rightly, that a boy or g.rl might be sent to ths institu- tlon; be benefited by the incarceration, and stfll retain his or her self-respsct, if they were known a having b5en in- mates of an industrial school, and not a reformatory. This side of the question WuH appeal to every sehSp"iFe ah'euiN, l, and it is a wise suggestion which should enter into the crusade, for b-ttelr treatment of the young criminals of Ala banpa-
 It is to be hoped that from the meet dng of the local federation, and the ex- ecutive board of the state fedefiation November 23, tfere will go out influences which will insure to Alabama nsIw constitution and an industrial school fou young evil doers.

THE YOUNG DUCHESS
 OF MARLBOROUGH

Notwithstanding the natural preJud ce which exists against the sale of wealthy young American girls to impecunious members of the foreign nobility, there is always more or less interest felt in the daily life of these girls in their new homes A recent exchange has this pleasant information to give of Consuelo Vanderbilt Churchill, the young Duchess of Marlborough, and of her tastes and habits among her husbands people. It says:
 "The young Duchess of Marlborough seems destined to become one of the most popular woman in England. For so young woman she is one of remarka- ble parts. She has evinced- great judg- ment and ability In restoring Blenheim palace to its former magnificsnce, and a sorry wreck she found it. But from the first she loved the old palace, and she has spent great care and thought upon dts improvement. She has as well made herself beloved in the village. A letter to the Washington Star states that the people in the village all have a word of praise for the American duchess. It evidently did not take her long to win the hearts of the elderly inhabitants, and the children. Since her residence at Blenheim all fees taken at the gates from tourists who visit the palace have been devoted to charity, and out of her own pocket and her own heart the duchess devases many schemes for amusing and benefiting her husbands tenants One of her favorite recreations is visiting among the old people, and another thie planning of tea parties p.cnics and various outings for the children, in which
