BEARS RUIN A TELEGRAPH LINE.


The bears Of northern Maine COM
bine a great love for the crab apples
which are grown in that region with
ignorance of the appliances Of modern
civilization. When a telegraph COM
pany started to put Up poles IN the
woods between Ashland and Fort Kent,
the simple minded bears began to sniff
at the tall sticks with suspicion, evil
IDENTIFY taking them for some new kind
of dead fall that was erected for the
special purpose of killing bears. They
stayed away from the camps of the
workmen all the time the route was
being surveyed and while the poles
were going up. refusing to respond to
the Turing Odors of scOrched fat pork
or burnt molasses. But when the glass
lnsulators were screwed to the long
arms of the poles every bear in north
ern Aroostook came out to watch the
progress of the work.
Although the superintendent of the
job pronounced the line completed and
ready for service a month ago, the COM
pany has been unable to procure the
transmission of messages through the
long strip of woods above Ashland. A
double force of linemen is kept at
work all the time, but, in spite of their
labors. the insulators are pulled off
and broken so often that no commune
cation can be kept up for three hours
in succession.
The company hired detectives and Of
fered large rewards for the capture of
malicious men caught injuring the in
%sulators. AS this proved useless. the
detectives finally went into the woods
and found the whole line swarmine
with bears that climbed the poles and
bit off the insulators faster than the
linemen could renew them.
The only way the telegraph men can
account for this perverted taste on the
part of the bears is that the animals
believe that the insulators are their
favorite crab apples. and will not be
convinced of their error until they have
gone aloft and made actual proof. The
telegraph lines will apparently be able
to do no business until every bear in
Aroostook county has thus satisfied
himself.-EXchange.

MANY ARE
The Relief Committee Will Find Plenty
OF Work in Cuba.

New York, Aug. Go. w. Hyatt.
the Red Cross agent al Key West. who
was a prominent Havana merchant, has
been engaged in sending shall relief
Cuban coast.
Relative t. the work. he writes to
Stephen E. Barton as follows:
Il am happy to inform you that the
last two expeditions of food | sent to
Cuba. Il to Cardenas and one to the
coast above Sagua La Grande. arrived
safely and will deliver to the hungry
women and children. to their great de
light. A part of that sen to the shores
backs nearly to Matanzas and distrib-
uted to the hungry. My men doing this
work have returned here and are beg
ging for more food.
"Matanzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio
provinces are suffering horribly. Not
withdrawing you have so much work to
do in the volunteer camps in the United
States. | most sincerely hope that the
Cuban relief committee will rot forget
that there are many thousands in Cuba
who are starving. If ii meets YOU ap-
proval, | propose to send a small
amount of provisions (say two or three
tons) TO Havana by the Mascotte or
some other way Of conveyance. to be
Immediately distributed.
Work in Cuba can be carried on
with perfect safety. | am only too
anxious to try it and with the least
possible delay. | am surrounded con-
stantly by persons begging for relief for
their families in Cuba. Communica-
tions are TO- an everyday occurrence.
Can anything be done to aid the most
worthy Cuban families to return to
Havana? Some have property there
and can go and live in their own
houses; others have friends and rela-
tives. but no II has a cent with which
to get to Havana, and they are now
living on the charity distributed by the
Red Cross"

WANT a NINE-HOUR DAY.
The United TypOthetae of America
Are Struggling.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 25.-The Unit
ed Typothetae of America have a
knOtty affair to untangle in the nine
hour problem. With two protracted ex-
ecutive sessions today the matter still
remains to be Strengthened out.
Both President J. H. Bowen of the
International Pressmen's and Assist
ants union and George w. Harris, ma
tional organizer of the National Typo
graphical unions ave the employing
printers to understand hal it was only
a question Of a short time when a gen.
eral demand would be made for a
short hour work day. The unions are
willing to submit to a slight reduction
in cities where the scale is high, but
where the pay is low they ask that no
change be made.
AS the situation stands. the en-
ployers will either have to grant the
nine hour day or stand a strike of gil
gantic proportions. 1t is said. however,
that the employers are in favor of
granting the demand without a reduc-
ton of wages; others are willing to
compromise on nine and one-half
hours, while the remainder are much
opposed to it and are ready to fight.

Paris. Aug. 25.-Erncst Joseph Pos

collect a claim of $50, 900 upon a life in
surance policy issued to his late wife.
an English woman, by the Urbanne In
surance company, which had resisted
payment on the ground that he had
thrCwn her off a cliff near Florence. It
ally, committed suicide last evening at
the Ourand restaurant.
Possel. who called himself the Mar
quis de Gondeville, and pretended t o be
a French subject. was under heavy bail
and the authorities had ordered the ex-
humation of the boz li wife.
The maiden name Of Mrs. possel was
Eleanor Beckett. and She was about 81
years old. The couple had been stay
ing at Florence. and one day Possel re-
turned home alone from a drive. say
ing that his wife fell off the cliff. on the
edge of which she was resting while he
was mending his harness. They were
married in England last March and
Possel insured her life almost immedi-
ately.
1t developed after her body was found
beneath the cliff where POssel had been
sen several days before throwing down
large stones and watching their de
scent. The mother of Mrs. Possel. how
ever. stoutly maintains that Possel was
innocent of the death of his wife.

H0MEWARD BOUND.
GENERAL SKATER LEAVES SAN
TIAGO FOR HIS HOME IN
THE NORTH.
In a Lengthy Interview He Defends
His Conduct # the Military Oper-
atoms About Santiago-He De-
clares the Campaign Was Fought
and Won by Regular Troops.

New York, Aug. Ga cable TO the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba says:
Prior to embarking on the steamer
Mexico Major General Shafter this
evening consented to be interviewed.
In reply to my inquiry as 10 what he
had to tell the Herald before he left the
scene of his victories, General Shafter
said:
Il look upon the campaign just
closed as a successful one in the high
est degree, not only in regard to the
military operations, but more especial
ly in regard to the great result achiev-
ed. When we decided to attack Santi-
ago We looked for nothing more, as
the immediate fruit Of victory, thar the
| capture of the city. What has been
achieved is the Capitulation of the en-
tire eastern part of the province from
a line at Jibari to the south coast, to-
gether with the enemy's forces,
amounting to "a 900. Surely that was
a notable achievement of the campaign,
bearing in mind the fierce opposition
we encountered and the comparatively
small loss of our troops.
From a military point of view, |
perh.ps toak steps which might not be
deemed Unstable under other circum-
stances. but | knew the temper and
capability of our soldiers and the NOR
al effect of gradually coping up the
enemy without his Own lines.
MY engineers were very apprehen-
sive that the Spaniards might break
through on my left and cut off Siboney.
This, from a purely military stand
point, might have been tr~uthfully cor
rect, but personally | had not for a
moment any fear on that score. lie
result has, | think, proved the correct
ness of my conclusions.
Our primary object was to drive
Cervera out, and not to take the town.
We had gradually driven the Spaniards
back on his lines. circling the city, and
slowly advancing day by day.
The enemy began losing spirit as
soon as our guns had been nlaced in a
nosition IN cover tho town

SUNK IN THE SEA.
Misherman Run Down by a
Steamer.

New York, Aug. 25.-The Thingvalla
line steamer Norge, which arrived to-
day, reports that she sunk the French
fishing schooner La Coquette of Bay
onne, France, on Saturday last on the
Grand banks. The captain and eight
seamen were saved. Sixteen went down
with the unfortunate vessel. The Norge
sailed from Stettin IN August 3. The
weather was generally fine to the banks
Of Newfoundland, when it became foggy
with patches of clear weather.
On Saturday. August 20, between 3
and 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, the
weather was foggy. but not so thick
that the vessels speed was reduced.
Captain Knudson said he could see
about three cable lengths ahead. The
wind vas fairly brisk from the west
southwest, when a vessel suddenly
doomed up from the north with sails
full. and stood directly across the bow
OF the steamer. The bells were rung
to stop and back at full speed, but too
late to check the steamers Roadway.
The stranger, a fishing schooner, fell
across the bow and with a crash was
forced over and sunk. Three men
sprang aboard the Norge. The passen-
gers Of the Norge, most OF whom were
about decks, rushed about in alarm at
the shock, but were soon quieted when
they learned that the steamer was I'M
injured.
A boat was lowered and six men and
. dog e picked UP. The vessel sank
almost Immediately. and in sinking
carried with her sixteen of her crew.
