brought the weapon down upon his
head. breaking the stock and render
ing the gun useless.
The stroke drove the bear back for
a moment. as he shifted in his rage;
then he dashed again at Tom. The boy
struck again and again. but was
boy and bear were struggling for tbs
mastery on the ground.
Bruin, actuated by his innate fero-
ciOusness. and shifting the dead turkey
in Toms game bag. rolled the boy oye'
and over and at last tore the bag from
it's strap, and stood over Tom with it
in his teeth.
Helpless and in the tolls. the boy
could only look up into the mercilesS
face of his goe and wait for the final
attack.
Don't move. Toni" suddenly rang
through the forest in clear. familiar ac-
cents. Lie perfectly still, and give
the old gun chance"
Tom knew the voice. and his face
flushed. He turned his head Just a
trifle. for the bear had heard the voice,
and the boy saw standing between two
trees the mountain lad with whom he
had stirred up a boyish feud.
Bruin, with the game bag still in his
mouth, looked at Joe. and his little
eyes seemed to glitter like sparks OF
fire.
Seconds were minutes to Tom Brady
under the huge feet of his antagonist;
but suddenly the forest rang with
sharp report and the captured turkey
dropped upon Toms breast, while the
bear tumbied away with a deep roar.
Then the Brady boy heard some one
running through the leaves, and when
he sprang to his feet he saw Joe al
ready between him and the enemy.
It's about 50 yards. guess" said the
little mountaineer, while his eyes
seemed to laugh. It's almost pot
shooting a bear, eh. Tom?
The flush grew deeper on Tom Bra
dy's face, for he say that the huge
animal did not move. for the bullet had
entered his brain, and from the odd
rifle" too.
I was hunting just over the rise yon-
der" said Joe, when 1 heard your
shots and the bars notes of defiance,
and I thought as how you might be in
danger
i was in danger. Joe. To tell the
truth. 1 guess you came in the nick Of
time"
We'll. there's your bearskin,'' and Joe
stepped forward and leaned over the
dead brute. It's seldom the old gun
misses. Tom. and I'm mighty glad it
didn't fail me today"
Tom Brady joined the little Tonnes

I'VE won't fight now" said he.
Fight Who wanted to fight?" cried
Joe, his honest eyes dilating.
Tom smiled.
'"Oh. the bear did. I guess he ex-
claimed. See here, Joe. The old feud's
ended. 1 bury the Ratchet. Let's skin
the bear and go TO my home"
The boys fell to work with a will and
stripped the skin from the king of the
mountains. after which they proceeded
towards Toms home.
AS they carried the skin upon a pole o
to the cabin door, and laid it down be-

READY FOR WAR.
Men Available For Military Duty
In United States.


Chicago, Feb. ga special to the
Times-Herald from Washington, D. c..
says:
President Mckinley there are now
available for military duty in the
United States 1903, SIC able-bodied
men. OF these 1l2,OS2 are already in
the militia; forming the nucleus of a
tremendous fighting force. This is with
out considering the skeleton United
States army, which could on short no.
tice recruit up to 100000 men,.
There was, at the close of 1896, organ
lied guards in every state and territory,
except Alaska and Indian territory, all
of whom could be used for active serv-
ice in case of necessity. OF the total
force of 10000. there are 100000 in the
infantry branch, 5000 in the cavalry.
1000 in the artillery, and about 1000
general officers. Camps were held last
years in many states at which were
present from 46 per cent of the state
forces in Texas, to SO per cent in Con-
necticut The total appropriations
made by the United States for militia
was 100000 while the various states
spent about $2,S0O,000.
1t is estimated that the time required
for concentrating for service would
vary from six hours in Nevada to three
days in Oklahoma. while the proportion
that would probably turn out for duty
ranges from so per cent in Indiana and
New Jersey to % per cent in Pennsyi-
vania. New York is far ahead so far
as the size of her national guard is
concerned, having over $4,000 officers
and mem
pennsylvania is second, with 5000, and
Illinois holds third place, with 6,OOO
Other states follow:
Massachusetts, $500; New Jersey,
1890; California, $500: South Carolina,
$500; Georgia, 5000; Texas, 5000; Min

Louisiana, 1900; Nebraska, 1900; Flor
ida, LOO; Virginia, LOO; Washington,
1000; Utah, 1000.
The other states have less than 1000
men. 1t is estimated that in case of
necessity the following number of men
could be furnished:
Pennsylvania, $50, 900; Illinois, 700, 900;
Ohio. $4,000; New York, $50. 900: In

scopically. That is. each rail is en-
abled, on occasion, to slide back and
forth on the next. l have seen coun-
try fairly undulate under. or rather
over. the stress of some underground
tremor.
L remember once a little Englishman
who had climbed into the empty box
of an engine to do some repairs While
he was inside there came a shock, or
a quake, and the engine, under the in
huence of the first wave, ran some dis
lance along the track, then. with the
return influence, ran back almost to
where she first stood. stopping with a
slight shock. Immediately afterVard
the angry face of the cockney appeared
at the door Of the box and glowered
at the trembling form of his amazed

yer foolin'. Cawn't We leave er alone
while hime in 'ere?''
Perhaps. however. the most curious
thing of all is the manner in which To-
comotives. and their drivers are treated
in newspapers. You often read of an
engineer Gin collision or where a loco
motive plunges into river) dying at
his post. Now in such cases the engi-
neer who can otherwise escape and
does not do it is simply a fool. The
men who have stuck to their posts
have, in most cases, been men who
could not get away Inasmuch as no
engineer can help his passengers in
such cases, he had better jump if he
can do so at all. You read of engi-
neers who in newspaper English, In

mo sane engineer would do such
thing. He would first shut off steam
by closing the throttle; next apply the
air hral-p- thirdly ODep his sand how
and finally he would reverse his lever
so as to run in the opposite direction.
OF course. he would do it all very
quickly. But to reverse his lever in

him do it, would blow out his cylinder
heads and render him powerless to do
anything at ALL

MAP OF HAVANA HARBoR.
Not the Slightest Sign of Mine
Marked On It.

Washington. Feb. 27.-At the .sugges-
ton of Secretary Long, Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt of the navy department
gave out the following statement in re-
gard TO the published map with the
mines in Havana harbor, purporting to
be marked on it:
LAS soon as the map was brought to
my attention 1 sent Mr. John Russell
Young of the congressional library and
got the original. 1t is simply one of the
innumerable maps of Havana harbor
There is not the slightest sign of a mine
marked anywhere on ii. AS a matter of
fact, 1 am informed that this map is
one which has been used in giving lee
lures at the Columbia university
In answer to the question as to what
was the meaning of the movements of
guns and munitions, Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
1T merely serves to show that the de-
partment does not believe there will be
any trouble, but neither does it intend
to be caught unprepared if there should
be trouble"

TERROR AT NEW YORK.
Will Remain There Until Settlement
of Maine Question.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The United States
monitor Terror passed in at Quarantine
at 1850 this morning. The vessel left
Hampton Roads Sunday afternoon, where
she has been lying for week, fully pre-
pared to put to sea.
Her commander, Captain Nicon Lud
low, received Instructions from Secretary
Long to remain in New York harbor until
further orders, which is taken to mean
that the monitor will be on hand until
the final settlement of the Maine question.
1t is thought that the secretary delayed
sending the monitor TO these waters dur
ing the stay of the Spanish cruiser Viz
caya through courtesy to the S2aniards.
The formidable vessel. which will
probably lie at the man-of-war anchorage
off Tompkinsville. is gag feet long, 50 feet 3

COURT OF INQUIRY.
Now at Key West-Gabby Diver
Redding.

Key West. Fla. Feb 27-The light
house tender Mangrove. bearing the mem
bers of the court of inquiry, arrived from
Havana at o'clock this morning. The
court will resume its session in the United
states district court room in the federal
building at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
and will probably return TO Havana on
Wednesday,.
The most important witness to be ex-
amined here is Lieutenant Blandin. the
oIhcer of the deck when the explosion on
the Maine occurred. The testimony of
the other survivors will take only short
time.
Captain Sampson. Captain, Chadwick
and Lieutenant Commander Potter came
ashore and arranged preliminary details
for the sessions of the court.
TALKED TOO MUCH.
Martin Redding, a diver returned here
on the wreck and his arrival today
caused much comment, it being said that
he had talked too much at Havana and
had been removed in consequence. On
length before a street corner audience,
and but little credence could be given to
his numerous statements.
Rear Admiral Sicard has held frequent
conferences with Captain Sampson and
other members of the court of inquiry at
the hotel. He said tonight: Il think
they ought TO get away on Wednesday.
As yet there is nothing that can be said
about their work.
In reply to a question as to the rumored
removal of the warships to Cuba, Admiral
Sicard said: THE fleet is not moving.
and 1 know nothing about it going to
Cuba. Still, you know, l have steam up
and could go anywhere if ordered
He was asked if anything had hap
Dened to justify the statement that the
situation was more serious TODAY than it
had been, and he replied: They know
at Washington about that. Just how
strained our relations are with Spain 1
am unable to say"
THE GREAT ATTRACTION
The excitement yesterday after the. ar
rival of the Cuban filihusters, headed by
General Nunez and Captain John O'Brien.
completely eclipsed all the doings and
sayings of the court of inquiry officers.
Their quick departure prevented very
much being learned as to the expedition,
bit the Cubans here are elated. An ex-
petition has been preparing to go away
from Key West for some time, but it
probably will suffer another delay, as the
plot has leaked out through two Spanish
spies.

henry DEMAS.

The committee On commerce has
not yet acted upon the nomina-
ton of Hon. Henry Demas, whose
name for naval officer was sent to
the Senate some time ago. 1t is
quite evident that his nomination
is held up at the instigation of
the lily white republicans and a
few color-prejudiced colored men in
the State of louisiana. Senator
Fry of Maine, the chairman of the
committee, will not be party to
such petty jealousy and meanness
inaugurated by the opponents of
Mr.. Demas. 1t is no more than
the white element against deserv-
ing and representative negro.
Elk Governor VIM. Pitt Kellogg is
behind this opposition to Mr.. De-
mas. MIR. Kellogg is in hopes of
regaining his prestiage and in
huence.
Mr.. Demas was an original Kc-
kinley man while MIR. Kellogg was
seemingly for Mr.. Reed, but not
particularly for any one. Mr.. De-
mas was successful in defeating the
delegates of the combine, headed by
Mr.. Kellogg who now takes this
opportunity in getting even with
Mr.. Demas.
Are the people of Louisiana op-
posed to Mr.. Demas I? A glance
In another column of this paper
will show that the republican party
is unanimously in favor of Mr.. De,
mas. The entire negro race and
the Afro o-American press of the
country are anxiously waiting fol
a favorable report in this case.
We are confident that Senator
Fry and the other members of the
Committee on Commence will not
be party to such an unjust and
unwarrantable act as the enemies
of Mr.. Demas would wish.
The Washington bee., 1898-01-22

Senator Hanna is once more in
our midst to enter upon the duties
of his office after one of the hottest
and most brilliant campaigns ever
fought in Ohio. The Senator looks
none the worse for wear and prom
ises not only to do good service in
the role of legislator, but also to
show how to accentuate the doc
trine of "do good to those who
spitefully use you, and say all man
ner of evil against you falsely"
The result may not be according to
the double DIS but the good he will
do for the party will be plenty.
We congratulate the Senator aud
hope that he will drive disloyalty
out of the party so effectually that
1t will never again rear it's HYDRA
head to disrupt and disgrace the
party.

PROTECT WORTHY INSTI-
TUTIONS.

A few colored men called q meet
ing in this city few days ago at
the corner of 10th and r streets,
n. W., for The purpose of condemn
ing monopolies and corporations
or the bill that is now pending IN
Congress to put quietus on ticket
scalping. There is somebody pay
ing these Negroes to condemn this
bill. While corporations may be
distasteful to some people who can
not control them and just to what
extent the Negroes will be affected
by the passage of this bill the col
ored orators failed to state and just
what benefit the colored people de-
rive from scalpers they also failed
to state. Certainly railroads en-
ploy large number of colored men
while you will not see one colored
person employed in ticket scalper's
office. Then again. colored people
don't travel enough to support any
railroad, except when they go on ex-
curslons during the summe'. If this
is all the traffic the roads carry GER
tainly they would die in the winter.
Then what benefits are the masses
of the colored people receiving from
scalpers? Let the bill become a
law and protect worthy institu-
tions.

MARSHAL PALMER.

The colored people in this city
have certainly friend at court in

among the few marshals who have

the Negro. Mr.. Palmer has made
two appointments Of colored men.
MI. Henry johnson has been
appointed bailiff at the police cour
to succeed Mr.. Darr, white demo
crat and there are more to follow.
We congratulate the President OF
his se.ection of Mr.. Palmer and
hope that he will let the good ork
go on. He knows the colored man
and is aware of what his needs are
and will do as much as possible to
do his duty.

OUR MUSICAL DIRECTOR.

Now that the board of school
trustees decided some time ago to
have a musical director and the
contestants entered a competitive
examination and the only person
who passed was Mrs. Alice StraE ge
Davis, the committee on music
should certainly give her the salary.
Messrs. Layton and Grant should
be reduced to $500, the same
amount Mr.. Furby is now getting,
and add the 5000 taken from the
two to Mrs. Davis making her sal
airy 81 $50 to which she Is entitled.
The examination papers show
that Mrs. Davis passed the highest
examination of any of the contest
ants. Mrs. Davis has already sys
tematized the work and if the COM
mittee will give her good material
she will have the musical portion
of the public schools upon higher
plane. She is doing the work
hence let the committee act at
once. Indeed she was the only one
who did pass tht examination.
