BEAR WAS A BIG GOOSE
Batting Hollow Went Forth to Stay
the Ferocious Monster.

Ane FeFOCiouS MOnSteFs
The excitement in Batting Hollow
was started by Benjamin Goodale's
farmland Batting Hollow is on
Long Island and it likes excitement.
cts a bear shouted Benjamin
Soodale's farmland, as he ran along
the road.

Smear the Sound cliffs" came
family from Benjamin Goodale's
farmland as he sped along.
He went from house to house and
gave the alarm. lie was trembling
with excitement. Sometimes the
bear was black and sometimes it was
brown, but it was always big and
ferocious.
Batting Hollow arose as one man.
They deserted their wagons and
plows in the fields and armed them
selves for bear hunt. They brought
forth revolutionary muskets and air
guns, which summer boarders' chill
dren left behind. Those who didn't
have guns armed themselves with
hatchets.
The start was made from the post
office. The hunters marched stealth
lily upon their quarry. Not word
escaped them after they had settled
the quarrel over the disposition Of the
bear. 1t was agreed that the man
who killed the animal should be en-
titled to the skin, but the meat was to
be equally divided among them all.
Benjamin Goodale's hired man
was in the party. He was all a-trem-
BILE. He had told them how he had
suddenly come upon the bear, and
how the animal had risen upon its
hind legs and growled so loudly that
the earth trembled So did Benja-
min Goodale's hired man. And the
hired man ran, which the earth
didn't, of course. The bear ran aft
er the hired man.
The farmland led the way to the
woodland where he said the bear was.
1t was surrounded by the hunters.
Three or four of the bravest went
forth to beard the monster in its lair.
Presently man rose up:
'I'm on his trail~ he shouted at
the top of his voice. Don't say a
word; you'll brighten him away"
Postmaster George B. Wells and
Merritt Smith grasped their trusty
bird guns more firmly and pressed on
ward, filled with the excitement of
the chase.

whisper, otis a bear, sure enough. l

There was an object moving. 1t was
as plain as day that it was a bear that
had crouched down to escape the
hunters.

Their quarry toppled over. They

A QUICK VERDICT LOOKED FOR
The Trial Of Mr.. Emrich,s Assailant
VIII Probably End Today.

The trial Of Charles Phillips for assault
ing Frederick Enrich Will be concluded
today, and the case sent to the jury. The
evidence is all in and there remains only
the argument OF counsel TO complete sthe
proceedings A poor defense was made
by the negro, who, when put on the stand,
denied ever knowing MI. Enrich or hay-
ing been employed by him
The prisoner detailed his movements the
night of the shooting and denied haEing
been in the vicinity of Indiana avenue
after Z O'Clock the evening OF September
10. He said that he went home about
l l o'clock and remained there all night
1t was proposed by the defense To sub
stantiate this statement by the testimony
OF Mrs Gibson, Phillips landlady, but as
she was too ill to appear in court a con
ference was held, resulting in the admis-
sion of the fact that Mrs Gibson would
say that Phillips was home after II O'Clock
that night and did not 90 out until the
next morning.
Phillips denied having been at a certain
Avenue hotel the night in question after
9 O'Clock, and Mrs. McCue, wife of the
proprietor, was called in rcbuttal. She
said Phillips was in their place after that
hour. Witnesses offered to prove that
tile accused could not have obtained pos
session of DR. Robinson's pistol, failed
to account for the entire day Of Satur-
day preceding the assault, and Charlie
Gordon, the boy who Phillips said was
employed by Mr.. Enrich, who had mis-
taken the two admitted on eross-exanina-
tion that Mr. Enrich never had employed
him, but he had done odd Jobs for the
butcher around one of the stores. This
admission resulted in failure of the de-
fense to dispute Mr.. Enrich, who had denied
employing Gordon.
Altogether it is generally believed that
the jury Will quickly render decision in
the case without much trouble, notwith-
standing the fact that all the evidence is
circumstantial.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry OF American business life. it
is more often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real org;inlc heart disease is incurable;
but not one case in q hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same great
nerves the S SympatheticandP PneuinogaStric
In another way also, the heartis affected
by thatform ofpoor digestion, which causes
gas and fernIe ntation from half digcstei
food; there is feeling of oppression and
heayineSs in the chest ca used by pressure
of the diStendcd stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation- and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
makes it thin and watery, which ir1itates
and weakenS the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can best he done by the regular use,
after meals of some safe. pleasant and ef-
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found mt
most drug stores and which contain valu-
able harmless digestive elements, in q
pleasant, convenient form.
1t Is safe TO say that the regular, persis-
tent use OF Stuaru's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form or stomach
trouble. except cancer OF stomach.

most druggists at so cents or by mail from

BUILDINGS IN ALLEYS.
Commissioners Oppose Request
Made by Certain Citizens.

The owners Of property in Union court,
as well as the residents, are opposed
TO the erection of a stable in their midst.
There is no present prospect OF such an
imposition, but those interested are not
going to take any risks, and in order TO
prevent surprises they had bill intro
duced in Congress to authorize the Com
missioners to refuse permit for the same.
The Commissioners do not favor the
measure, and returned it to Congre IS
with an adverse recommendation, hasing
it upon the grounds that such legislation
would create an embarrassing precedent
OF far-reaching effect.
1t is the belief of the Commissioners
that nothing of atemporizing neture should
he done toward modifying the present law
with respect to dwellings in alleys, but
that the matter should be made the sub
ject of general law for the rectificatiou
OF the system of alleys.

Her gracious majesty, Victoria Re
gina, lost yesterday an honored son, when
Prof. Alexander Melville Bell OF this
city foreswore allegiance to all power
and principalites, especially to that one
on which the sun never sets, and became a
citizen OF the United States OF America
Prof. Bell hardly needs an introduction
to his fellowcitizens on this side Of the
Atlantic. The fame OF his family pre-
ceded him, and the name OF his son,
Alexander Graham Bell, has become a
household word all over the world where
the incessant "hello" is he ard. The
professor is well known too, in Washing
ton, the city OF his adoption, and resi-
dence OF slightly more than fifteen years
has served To gather about him a host OF
friends and acquaintanres who entertain
the warmest regard for the aged litter
ateur and philanthropist.
On the 17th of June, 1898, the professor
first filed his declaration, renouncing al
legiance to Great Rritain, and yesterday
he drove from his home No. 1925 Thirty
fifth street northwest, to the Supreme
Court and the oath of allegiance was
formally administered to him.
Prof. Bell is a native of Edinburgh,
Scotland, in which city he was born in
1919. Here, under the tutelage OF his
father, Alexander Bell, he passed his early
youth, enjoying in his education the ad-
vantage OF his fathers experience, gained
through lifetime of teaching.

a Family Hobby.

Speech, and indeed the investigation OF
every branch Of phonetics, has been pre-
eminent Characteristic of the entire family
OF which Prof. Bell is a very able repre-
sentative. His father taught elocution, and
for natural reasons the son adopted kindred
pursuits, and, like himself, his three sons
in turn inherited an absorbing interest in
the work OF their father.
The invention OF the famous ''phone'' is
perhaps due to the fostering OF q love OF
the study of speech and sound by the pro-
fessor in the minds OF his sons. He Offered
prize for the best suggestion or invention
of a sound-pr oducing machine, and to the
study or this problem is due the birth OF
the long-disuance instrume nts, which span
the land and continents, Prof. Bell would
have lived and died subject of Great
Britain, perhaps, but for sad bereavement
in the loss of two OF his sons just when their
latent genius nd ability were dawning with
years OF maturity. This sad loss and the
i'll health of the third, who is now Dr. Gra-
ham Bell Of this city, caused the professor
to seek in q change Of climate the health
and perhaps the life OF his only child.
Canada was chosen as the asylum, and
Prof. Bell, with the members OF his family
became residents OF Brantford, in tile
province of Ontario, Here for ten years he
resdedin a beautiful home, continuing the
study of speech begun in earnest while, a
professor of literature in tile University of
Edinburg ana in tie New College, of that

Visible Speech.

The result of his work is known To the
world in the invention of what the professor
has termed 'Yisibe Speech a method of
communication for the mute which has
met with extensive adoption throughout
the world.
Prof. Bells first visit to tile United Stasns
was spent in Boston, where i'll Lowell In

on various topics, all of which bore more
| or less directly on various phases Of pow ars
ofspeech, their scope and development. BCs-
| ton had great attraction for the profes-
| sor from that time, for something in It's
appearance reminded him forcibly OF the
English and Scotch cities Of his native
| kingdom. His residence here, however, was
| brought about by the marriage of his son,
| DIR. Bell, with the daughter Of Mr.. Gardiner
Hubbard of this city, whom he met in
| Boston.
DR.. Bell took up residence in Washing

predisposition on the part OF the father for
American city life, soon found tie profes-
sor established IN the home he now occupies
on Georgetown Heights. Pamphlets from

his life has been spent quietly at home.
His sanctum is characteristic of the man,

of studious mind, rich in a wealth of
wisdom, but i'll content with its present

INJURED to the study of his youth.
Just across from the professors home is
