COLONIAL DAYS.

Some time ago an interesting discov-
cry was made in the State Library of a
record of claims, presented by residents
of Morris county, for losses sustained by
the Continental army. All patriotic
Americans are interested in everything
connected with the Revolution, and as
the CHRONICLE has had most to do with
this find it determined that its readers
should have the benefit of the discovery.
The old, musty papers has been deci-
phered with some difficulty, but they
have fully repaid for all the labor be-
slowed. They are the records of more
than hundred years ago. Apart from
their historic value, they are instructive
as giving glimpses of the mode of life of
those who preceded us by many gene
rations in the march of life; they afford
ideas of the values of articles used in
every day life. The names of those who
are now with us enjoying our respect
and confidence, will be found here, and
among them will be recognized some
who are remembered with respect and
generation.
Below will be found a continuation of
the records, and other extracts will APP
pear weekly until the whole is completed:

KILLED BY a BEAR.
\ New Workers. Terrible Death in
the Yukon.
(From the Seattle Times.)

(From the Seattle Times)
f. II. Browning, of Seattle, who has Just
returned from Dawson over the ice brings
news OF the terrible death of Carl Joel of
New York, who was killed by Yukon
bear on the banks of the Indian River
Joel was tramping up the trail with a
heavy pack when he suddenly came face
10 face with big Yukon bear. These
bears resemble cinnamon, but are some
what larger This one was very hungry,
and started for the miner as soon as he
saw him. Joel was armed with a heavy
IA Colt revolver, and every chamber was
loaded. He started to fire at the beast
when IL was twenty feet away. His aim
was steady and as he pulled the trigger a
bullet struck home. Blood spurted from
severed artery and wrote out the story OF
the fight in crimson on the snow.
The bear kept on and the miner fired
again. Another squirt of blood showed that
the second bullet went home. No vital
spot had been struck, and with the huge
beast numbering down upon him Joel stood
his ground and fired the remaining cart
ridges. AS the beast was upon him he fired
his last shot. The bullet struck home over
the heart, but it had been fired too late.
With its last and tremendous burst of
strength the great bear grabbed the un-
fortunate man in its death grasp and never
let go.
A party OF miners bound for Lower Do
minion Greek found the body a short time
after. Joel was still in the bears grasp
1t had been fight to the death with both.
Mr.. Browning brings out a considerable
sack of gold dust. He made the trip UP the
Yukon in twenty days. Until November
he lived in q tent without a stove. He
says that the undertakers and physicians
expect TO reap a harvest this summer. One
undertaken told him as he was leaving that
he would not sell his prospective business
for the best mine among the creeks.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

The unpleasantness OF the weather had
small effect last night upon the audience
which assembled TO hear Burton Holmes
speak on The Grand Canyon Of Arizona -
All things considered, this gathering was
surprisingly good-sized, and, while the Co
lumbia was hardly filed, the major portion
of the downstairs seats were taken. Those
present were decidedly appreciative and
seemed 10 enjoy the entertainment hugely
Mr. Holmes lecture, which has been de-
liVered here before, takes up a picturesque
scene and treats il in picturesque language.
The descriptions are complete and so many
anecdotes and clever bits of humor are
interpolated that there is never a hint OF
wearying in the talk. During the pres
entation. views OF The Grand Canyon, -
colored by Katherine Gordon Breed, are
shown. Mr.. Holmes will be heard this

PRODUCT OF THE BAKERS ART.
Tempting Display of Good Things at
Gaskins' Grocery.


Pedestrians passing in the vicinity of the
grocery store of Richard H. Gaskins at
the corner of Twelfth and Streets north
west today were attracted by the tempting
window display of about all the products
known in the bakers art. The delicacies
arranged so invitingly were made at the
Boston Steam Bakery, 123 First Street,
southwest. The display includes every
conceivable kind of bread from the double
Vienna roll to the "Grandma's" bread,
rolls and biscuit, layer cakes including
lemon, chocolate, cocoanut, and jelly va
rieties; roll cakes, and indeed cakes of
every description.
The display was made on several stands
constructed in the form of pyramids.
Flowers, together with gay ribbons, aided
in making the show attractive. The small
boys living in the vicinity stood at various
times during the day in front of the WIN
dow looking hungrily at the good things
there displayed. 1t became necessary to
call policeman on two or three occasions
to relieve the congested condition of the
sidewalk. Good things such as were dis
played in the window can be purchased at
all first-class grocery stores in the District.

THE PROJECT POSTPONED.
Statistics of American Labor Trou-
bIes to BE Gathered Next Yenr

Labor Commissioner Carroll d. Wright
has acknowledged the force OF the argu-
ment of Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor and the
statistics relative to strikes and lockolts
OF the years 1894 to 1885, inclusive, will not
be gathered as at first intended.
President Gompers objected because the
figures showing the conditions during the
years OF industrial depression would be
unfortunate and calculated to give weight
TO the arguments of the pessimlstic. He
urged that the compiling OF these figures
be postponed another year and that the
conditions of 1899, which ne believes will
be good year, be included. To all this
Commissioner Wright has given assent and
today the official order postponing the
work was given.
