on his feet and was rushing to the
fray. Then, for two or three minutes
it appeared which probably was
not much more than as many seconds
there was mixup of hide, hair and
heels, mingled with growls, savage
snorts and swapping teeth.
One bear was down and badly hurt.
The other bear, No. =, was bleeding
profuscly about the head and one of
his legs seemed to be crippled. AS
for the stallion, he was fearfully torn
on every one of his four legs.
But before could take in the full
extent Of injuries given and received
by the three fighters. they were all
again on the move. The bears this
time separated to attack the stallion
from different uarters, but they met
witt. ring general, for the horse
whirled and charged directly ct one Of
them, as the bear attempted to gain
his hind feet he wheeled and launched
both hind hoof> with sickcniug thud
against his ribs
could plainly hear the snap of
broken bones as the bar topplcd over
but before the stallion could dodge or
throw up his head out Of reach No. >
struck him on the nose with his claws.
Down went both, hoofs and claws
flying. \ second after the horse. which
now seemed mass Of torn and bleed
ing flesh, bounded into the air and
came down with all four feet on his
PROSTATE foe, crushing bone, flesh and
muscle beneath. Then, scarcely
giving his dying foe glance, the
crazed stallion sprang at his other en-
emy, who was trying vainly to regain
his feet. Again the stallion sprang
into the air, with his four feet gath
cred into bunch and again there was
sickening crunch Of bone and flesh.
Both bears were now dead, crushed
and kicked into two bloody masses of
wool, bone and flesh.
vt his last dash the horse walked
away few steps, then, turning, stag
gered up to the first bear he had
knocked out, knelt down and literally
tore skin and flesh from the bear $
body; then with bloody head and glis-
tening teeth the savage brute managed
to stagger over to the mass of wool
and flesh, which he served in the same
manner.
After tearing and battcring the body
into mass Of broken bones and man
glcd flesh, the stallion tossed his head
from which the bloody foam flew in
long fecks, gave a neigh of triumph
and fell lifclcss to the groand. The
stallion had won the battle, but it had
cost him his life. -WiIuicl/,h,n Press.

Ten Beaus FOR Every Girl in Idaho.

With the bachelors outnumbcring
the maids in every State in the Union
it ought to be easy for the unmarried
woman to secure partner anywhere,
but the region where bachelors are
most in excess is, Of course, the most
favorable to the spinster, since, the
abundance Of unmarried men gives her
a wider range of choice. From mat
rimonial point Of view Idaho is the
best State Of the Union, for there the
number Of bachelors is to that Of tie
maids as 1854 to ,426, each unmar-
ried woman in Idaho, therefore. having
10 or II bachelors, not exactly at her
back, but available as husband.
From most points Of view the west is
the Mecca Of the young unmarried wo-
men, for not only are there more un-
married men in the western States,
but a living is more easily made in
the west than in the east, and there
fore the western men arc more addict
ed to matrimony.

Facts known About the BODY.

The idea tfst the body changes"
every seven years, or at any other per-
iod, is a popular deluslon. It is only
necessary to read amy text book of
PHYSIOLOGY to find that life is really a
constant series of changes, which pro-
coed every minute one lives. Changes
of chemical and physical kind are al
ways going on within the body, and the
very fact that one requires food daily
is a proof of this. Another curious
thing is the effect of heat on the body.
If you were put in an oven and heated
to 1872 degrees Fahrenheit, all that por-
ton of your blood called fbrinogen
would clot. When you reached 145 de-
grees, many other elements of your
body would grow as solid as hard-boil-
ed egg. At 173 degrees the egg albu-
men of your blood and the muscle al
bumen would coagulate. At 178 de-
grees another form of body material
called serum albumen would solidify.
And at 1856 degrees, considerably below
the temperature of boiling water, your
whole body would become as solid as
piece of wood-New York Home Jour-

SCARCITY OF SIGNALERS.
The Corps in the Philippines to BE
Increased by sixty Men.

Owing to the pressing need for additional
signal corps men in the Philippines and the
difficulty of getting reinforcements there
from the United States it has been decided
by the War Department to strengthen the
corps now in the islands by the addition of
one company of sixty men recruited from
the volunteers in the forces now stationed
there. The company will be recruited from
the best men obtainable in the service, and
officered by the best non-commissioned Off
GERS that the company commanders are
willing to spare. The new company will be
divided into patches of twenty men, which
will be distributed among the companies al
ready organized there, making leaven
Of forty old men to each of the new COM
panies.
The work of the corps in the Philippines
at Santiago and in Porto Rico has been
invaluable, in spite of the very small force
available. Since the renewal of hoStiiitieS
the men on duty il this corps have been
working almost continually day and night
Telegraph and signal men are worth as
much as generals of divisions in the present
crisis. and it has been imperative to in
crease the working force on the ground.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY SITE.
Bill Appropriating S25O.OOO Reported
to the Senate.


In the Senate this afternoon Mr.. McMil-
Ian reported from the committee on the
District of Columbia a bill appropriating
$4,000 for a site for the library bui ding
to be donated by Mr.. Andrew Carnegie The
bill originally named Mt. Vernon Square
for this library, but had been referred back
to the committee and reported as indicated
Mr. Hoar Immediately arose and spoke
against the bill amended, saying that
1t was unconstitutional to name ali amount
to be paid for the land, when 1t was to be
secured by condemnation proceedings. He
said that the jury could not be limited in
such a way.
Mr Cockrell said he considered it neces-
sary that the Limitation in the amount to
be paid should be paced in the bill. He
said that there was no question of consti-
tutionality about it, and that it had been
done over and over again.
He said he would be forced to object if
the limit not placed IN the bill.
Mr. Mcmillan said that the provision was
TO prevent the Commissioners from exceed
ing the amount named.
Mr.. Vest said he opposed to taking
any site for this library other than Mount
Vernon Square. He said II was not right
to abandon that site now, and make the
people of the District pay $25ooOO when
there is an almost unanimous feeling in
favor of the Mount Vernon Square site
Mr.. Chandler said he had not heard any
reason why the Mount Vernon Square site
should not be taken for the library build
ing. He said it was suitable in every way
and every reason favored.
At this stage of the debate Mr.. Cullom
said that If the bill for which Mr.. Nc
MILAN had asked considera ton was to pro-
woke debate he would be forced to object
as appropriation bills were waiting the
action of the Senate. The bill was accord
ingly passed over.

TO BRING BACK Our DEAD.
The RouImanian Has Already Sailed
for the West Indies.

The War Department, after long and care
full work, has made up what it believes to
be full and complete list of the dead of
the Cuban and Porto Rican campaigns who
are still inferred in Cuba. An appropriation
has been made to have these bodies removed
to the United States. and the Roumanian,
with large force of undertakers has al
ready started for Porto Rico to begin this
work.

applications from friends and relatives of
about 300 dead who wish to personally take
charge of the bodies for private burial. The
quartermaster generals Office would like to
receive the names and addresses of any
other persons who are authorized to take
charge of bodies on their arrival in the
United States. Where such requests are re-
ceived the bodies on their arrival in New
York will be shipped direct to the address
indicated and turned over to friends, the
whole expense of the transportation being
borne by the government. There are some
thing over 1,200 bodies in all, and such of
them as are not claimed by relatives will be
given honorable military interment at Ar
lington. The bodies will be brought to the

NAVAL ACADEMY BUILDINGS.
Secretary Long Wants Granite Used
Instead of Sandstone and Brick.

Complications have arisen in connection
with the letting of the contracts for the
construction of the new buildings, includ-
ing power house and sea wall, at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis that have So
far prevented the award and are expected
to require attention at the hands of Con-
gress. As for the buildings, the department
itself has changed the specifications so as
to provide for the use of granite instead of
led sandstone from Ohio and brick, as orig
inally planned. This change involves an ad-
dtion to the cost of about 25 per cent
which cannot be met save by an additional
appropriation So Secretary Long has re-
ferred the matter to the military commitfea
of the House.
All of the bids for the construction of the
power house were in excess of the appro-
priation made by Congress- namely sI0) 600
the lowest being s140,000 and to add to the
difficulties OF the department in letting these
contracts 1t is said that objections have
been lodged against the plans prepared by
the architect, Mr.. Flagg of this city. by
other architects, which may also come be-
fore Congress.

REFORMS IN THE HOUSE
Improvements Proposed That Will Cost
100000.
Many Complaints of Poor Ventilation
Size of the Hail of Representa-
tives May Be Reduced,

The House committee on ventilation and
acoustics is at work upon a resolution
which will provide for complete ventilation
of the heating and yentilating system of
the House and also fer possible remodeling
Of the hall of the House. The resolution
will be reported TO the House next week.
1t provides d sum of s1UO, 600 to enable the
architect of the Capitol to conduct .ac i'm
provements proposed in accordance with
plans approved by the committee on VEN
tilation and acoustics, to be expended under
the direction of the committee on accounts
The report of the committee will cover
about 100 pages, presenting engravings of
the plans and setting forth in detail the
contemplated Improvement.
Complaint of Bad Air.
There has been great and increasing COM
plant in late years over the poor ventila-
tion of the House. The venttlating fans
are not run al night and the foul air which
accumulates in the building during the day,
when thousands of people crowd the cor
ridors and lobbies, is permitted to remain
stagnant through the night, to be breathed
again next day.
Those who visit the Capitol in the early
morning hours often notice the vile and
reeking atmosphere which permeates the
House wing. Members of the House be-
of the sickness which members suffer dur
ing their congressional terms is due to the
foul atmosphere in which they are com
PEELED to spend a great deal of their time
during the day. In view of the widespread
complaint over existing conditions anu the
general desire for better sanitation it is
believed that the resolution providing for
the ventilation will: be adopted
Reducing Size of the Hall.
The plan for renodeling the hall of the
House contemplates. reducing the size of
the hall in the direction Of essening noise
and confusion. The seats as arranged on
the new plan would prevent members from
writing and reading and have tendency
to cause them to give closer attention to
the proceedings.
Commodious retiring rooms would be pro-
vided adjoining the chamber where mem
bers could make themselves more com
Portable if they wanted to, but without in
terrupting the publicl business or disturb
ing the sessions of the House.
