THE BEARS ARE CURIOUS.
They Climb Telegraph Poles in Maine
and Dfte ON the Insu-
Iators.

The bears in northern Maine COM
bine a great love for the crab apples
which are grown in that region with
ignorance of the appliances of mod
eFn civilization. When a telegraph
company started to put up poles in
the woods between Ashland and Fort
Kent the supplemented bears began
to sniff at the tall sticks with sus-
pieion, evidently mistaking them for
some new form of deadfall that was
erected for the special purpose of kill
Ing 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 re-
spond to the Turing odors of scorehed
fat pork or burning molasses. But
when the glass insulators were screwed
to the long arms of the poles every
bear in northern 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
company has been unable to procure
the transmission OF messages through
the long strip of woods above Ash
land.
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 eommu-
nieation can be kept up for three hours
in succession. The company hired de-
tectives and offered large rewards for
the capture OF the malicious men
caught injuring the insulators. AS
this proved useless, the detectives
anally went into the woods and found
the whole line swarming with bears
that climbed the poles and bit of 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 an
imals believe the insulators are their
.favorite crab apples, and they have
gone aloft and made actual proof. The
telegraph lines viii apparently be
able to do no business until every bear
in Aroostook county has thus salts
fed himself.=Augusta (Me.) Journal.

A Musical Treat.

The rendering of the sacred cantata,
"Under the Palms, at the Cong'l church
Friday evening was a most happy and sue
cessful occasion. Beginning at the mo-
ment OF appointment Is the clock struck
eight, ii furnished an hour and a half of
the puTest thought and most delightful
harmony OF word and song that this com
munity has enjoyed for many a day.
The church was made verdant through
out with decorations OF ferns and palms.
Those who took part knew their time and
place and from commencement to ending
there was an unbroken flow OF sweet
strains and nicely laden words, without
hitch or faltering. The chorus was made
up of about IS persons of al ages, the chill
dren of the Sunday school 10 the young
people Joining themselves to the choir OF
the White church., which was also REIN
forced by members OF other choirs, and
all under the skillful leadership OF DIR. W.
nj. Kelly.
The leading parts in the cantata we're
taken by singers well known in this COM
munity for their musical attachments and
OF whom We are beginning to be appreeia-
lively proud. Every one OF them acquit-
ted themselves as at their best-and every
person in The audience had a responsive
encore 10 his heart for what he was enjoy
ing. The home talent was happily supple
meuted by the presence OF Mrs. Nudge OF
LA ms AAdH7sf Wnt n NtbAhAhk ntt bfbAuNIs
DIR. Kelly. and oy Mr. Charles r. Wood OF
Boston, who still a little more than half
belongs TO US.
Perhaps the emotional nature OF the au-
dience was most deeply touched by the
ehildren's song, the echo, refrains and the
plaintive recitation end response by
Ahava River.
The worshipful spirit reached its CHI
max, perhaps, in the the tenor solo and
"When the Sou Draws Near to
God" and in the ladies' trio, "God, Thy
Father Bows to Hear" and In the soft,
sweet evening chorus, sung and hummed,
'Neath the Palms Protecting Shade.p
For pathos and harmony, the alto solo
and male quartette, "By the Dark Eu-
pirates Stream, y can hardly be excelled
by any in word or music nor can its rem
dering be we'll surpassed.
To be acted upon by music so as not to
know exactly whether we are in the body
or out OF II, or care very much which 1t
be IL so be that the pleasure OF the present
moment be continued, the concluding
chorus ahd solo about Jerusalem will
it. Altogether our word is, "Under

ACCIDENT TO A TRAIN.
Small Smash-Up ON the Pcnnsyl-
vaniu Road.

Visitors at the Benning race track yes
terday afternoon who returned to the city
on the special train OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which left the race track imme-
diately after the last race, were subjected
to delay of thirty-fiv minutes in reach
ing the city, oceasioned by slight smash
up. which occurred at a point this side OF
the trestle work spanning the Eastern
Branch. The damage amounted to little,
and no one was injured but it was neces-
sary to derail and side-track the one dam
aged car in order to get the train to the
city. The smashup was caused by sud-
denly stopping the train and as suddenly
restarting it. The stop was made in order
TO put off two colored men who were steal
ing a ride. AS soon as the men had been
removed the train started with jerk,
which caused the cars to bump toge her
with unusual force. The jerk was felt
throughout the train. and joltsd the pas
sengers to a considerable extent. The only
car which suffered any damage was the
second passenger coach from the engine.
The rear platform of this car was torn al
most completely off, and the glass in the
rear end was broken.
The train was stopped again almost i'm
mediately after the smash and crew OF
men were put to work uncoupling and side
tracking the damaged car. When this was
completed the third car was coupled to the
first and the passengers of the disable /
coach removed to others. The train III n
proceeded TO the city without incident.
One man who was riding on the rear plat
form of the damaged car suffered crush

The next event was to be a twenty-round
contest between Jack Ashton, of Trenton,
n. j., and Joe Golden, of New York, bat as
the latter was unable TO appear. owing to
an injury received in fight with Johnny
Martin at the Greenwood Athletic Club,
of Brooklyn, last week. John Lotus, an
amateur from Philadelphia, was substituted
and made very creditable showing. Ash
ton and Lotus fought twenty fast and
clean rounds and it was declared draw at
the finish.
Both men spared continuously and
clinched repeatedly. especially to avoid
tenth round. when Ashton landed a hard
right on stomach and Lotus eountered on
the breast. In the twelfth both men
fought cautiously and appeared to be saw
ing themselves. Numerous clnches oc-
Cured and the round ended with very little
hitting being done. When Ashton came up
for the fourteenth round his left eye was
bleeding freely and his ear was very much
swollen. but he started with left On the
ribs and Lotus sent a right to the neck.
In the eighteenth Ashton opened with a
hard right on the head and Lotus count
cred with right on the face. Ashton
landed on the breast and ribs, and they
exchanged body blows. LOTUS sent his

turned hard left on stomach.

and Lotus opened with right on the
neck, Ashton countering with left on face.
They clinched repeatedly and the final
gong sounded without any blows being ex-
changed
