CIRCUS BEARS FROM RUSSIA.
Fo, Clever Animals Who Are Sur
prIsil.s the People of New York
with Their Antics.

Four wonderful animals, known as
Batty's bears, are appearing in New
York, and their performance is one
long round of sensational novelties.
Their intelligence is almost human.
These talented trained bears are
Russian citizens of type exception
ally hard to train on account of their
ugly tempers. But their trainer has
completely mastered them.
The tricks these animals do comprise
everything from high jumping to walk
ing horizontal bar.
At a signal from Mr.. Batty they go
through the figures of quadrille, and
then bend down before him in the most
servile manner. At another signal
they jump over whip which he holds
in his hand at height that seems al
most impossible for animals of their
weight and clumsiness to reach.
They turn somersaults and dance on
their hind legs.
One of the bears walks on his fore
paws, stands on his head, and then goes
through the same tricks again while
Oh barrel.
After this another bear climbs to
the top of miniature fort erected on
the stage and from there fires of a
cannon.
Then comes the climax of the entire
act. Between two poles a horizontal
bar is erected, Is feet above the stage.
One of the bears, the youngest of the
four, climbs up one of the side poles
until he reaches the top. Then, after
satisfying himself that everything Is
safe, ana that his weight will not break
the pole, he slowly walks the horizon
tai bar. He walks its entire length
several times, and then, swinging him
self by his four feet, walks the bar in
this manner.
The intelligence the animal displays
in trying the horizontal pole, to see il
1t Is strong enough, Is almost human.
And even while walking upon 1t it
bends under his weight and the audi
ence 10 kept in pleasing uncertainty
lest It break down.

UNEXPECTED HONOR.
The Novel and Amusing Predicament
of n southwestern Rail-
road Oniciai. n

Ihey were talking duout ho'AaS
boom at Hardy, Ark, one fall during
the administration of President Har-
rison. The town is situated on the
beautiful Spring river, and has the
Memphis road. The idea of the boom
ers was to make resort of the place.
either for summer or winter pleasure
seekers. About the time the boom was
being planned the announcement was
made that Russell Harrison, the pres
ident's son, was coming west and
would pass through Hardy on his way
to Kansas City. 1t was accordingly
arranged that speeches would be made
while the train stopped, not to speak
of an ovation of anvils and fireworks.
For some reason the Harrison party
did not pass through Hardy as ar
ranged, but it happened, remarkably
enough, that a private coach full OF
the Memphis roads officials was
fastened to the north-bound train
that reached Hardy about 4:3O o'clock
in the afternoon. The youngest mem
Der of the party was Mr.. B. |. Winchell,
the assistant general passenger agent
of the road. He was then past 80, but
every railroad man in the country who
knew Ben Winchell would have said
that he did not look more than 20. Mr..
Winchell was standing on the broad
vestibule at the rear of the private car
as the train rolled into Hardy. when
deafening noise ahead caused him to
wonder if the engine had blown up.
He leaned over the rail and looked for
ward. A great crowd was gathered
and anvils and eannons were being
fred by the dozen. The train stopped
so that the crowd was placed at the
end of the private car. Cheers were
proposed and given with a will and
shouts of 'sThere he is" "Hurrah for
the presidents son!" and How
young!" were heard on every side.
Then the canuons and anvils were
touched off again. and some of the sky
rockets and Roman candles were fired
off in the face of the glaring afternoon
sun.
Mr.. Winchell was dazed. He did not
understand the meaning of it all. he
thought that they were advertising
the town. but he could not understand
the meaning of the shouts and en-
clamations. Then it struck him that
there might be some important per-
sonage in a forward car, and he at
once went to look The train started
on before he got through, when one OF
the officials, who had gotten the hang
of the situation, met Winchell and
rushed him back
"Hang it, Ben" he shouted, "go back
on the platform and bow = make
speech-do something, for heavens
sake; you're the presidents son.
Winchell didn't understand any
thing about it. but he went back on
the platform and bowed and smiled un-
til he felt like an automaton. Then it
was explained to him. The people of
Hardy were shocked to learn next day
that they had not seen the presidents
son, and they at once declared all
boom proceedings off.-Detroit Free

A case which is of much interest
to the people Of the Indian Terri
tory has been decided BY Judge
Clayton at South McAlester. }.
l.. Hull was realizing on a pur-
chase made from Wade Marshall,
who was a niece of a white man
and a non citizen of the Choctaw
nation who at one time had a
Choctaw wife but had not married
her according to the Choctaw
laws. The niece is Choctaw
Indian, but Judge Clayton held
that she could not inherit Choc-
taw lands and improvements
from a white relative who was a
non- citizen, because the non-cltl-
zen was not such an owner or did
not posses such title as could
pass to his relatives. tie luther
held that non-citizens could not
inherit such property from a citi-
zen relative, but in other cases the
lands and improvements reverted
to the Choctaw nation. In the
same case Judge Clayton held that
the Choctaw council acts repeating
laws which had heretofore granted
citizenship to certain parties, were
null and void and of no effect.
