AN r%NEBRiATED BEAR.

Altoona PENN spe. New York
World: A tame performing bear,
usually well behaved, got tlpsy to-day.
For several hours the bear made a bear

near here. The bear and Its owner.
a FrenchmaD. were quietly walking
into Llstic with the purpose of giving
a performance, when they fell In with
a crowd OF men who were tapping n
keg of beer by the roadside. The
Fronchman let II be known h n neith-
or he nor the bear was a teetotaler.
Without growing. the bear emptied
GROWER after grcwler. The French
man got his share OF the beer. He and
the bear fell asleep. Two boys came
along and thought they would have
some fun with the bear. The bear
woke up, got mad and had much fun
with the boys, chasing them into Lis
tic. There a man named Dietz. a pow
erful fellow, seized the bear. After a
brief wrestling match the bear threw
Dietz and bit through his right arm.
The bear then tried to eat n child sit
ting on the steps OF a barber shop.
but the child was saved. The bear
then went noslng around the village
store. Men were about to sally forth
with shotguns when the Frenchman
arrived and profusely apologized for
the bear. But the men wanted to kill
the bear anyhow. But the sheriff.
however. decided to permit the French
man and the bear to pass the night in
a Toulouse on the edge OF the town on
condition that they would leave the
town at daybreak.

The objectionable sin in IL

The objectionable sin in the eyes of
Hon. Carter Harrison is for honest toilers to
possess full dinner pals. Yet mark how he
calmly suppresses his righteous indignation
and lets flow the following soft cooling mean
dering stream of words:
If / were a mechanic or workman and
any one mentioned the full dinner pail argu-
meIt to me, | would hit him a d-n good
punch in the face.
The restraining influence of Carter's heav-
emily state of mind is truly marvellous, and we
commend his moderation to all men who as
pire to sublime altitude of the soul.

Iere would probably be no more celebration

We have lost our ancient holi-
Ancient holiday through folly,
We may nevermore be jolly,
Everything has gone sheolic;
Days are now so wild and wailful,
Weeks are now so bleak and baleful
Here boy, bring me in a pailful
Which is redly alcoholic.
Let me drown my grief and guzzle,
Let me load up to the muzzle;
Life is now a paltry puzzle,
With Il ddmning doom upon it,
Since our Populist apostle
Has pronounced the Fourth a fossil.
Ah-how circumstances jostle
One another-and-doggol it.

TOO MUCH FOR BIRD.

A Chicago Log HumbIes "a Mighty
Condor.
In the natural histories the great
American condor sits proudly on the
highest peak of the Andes, ever and
anon descending and carrying of a
enid or sheep. 1t has a grewsome rep
utation. Therefore the one confined at
Lincoln Park, Chicago, always came in
for n great deal Of attention and re-
spect for its prowess. This particular
bird OF prey dropped several degrees in
popular estimation recently, and this is
how 1t occurred. Somebody fastened
the door OF the fearsome birds cage
rather loosely and it escaped. Chill
dren fled shrieking, men sought the
animal houses, and the condor strut
ted proudly up and down, its formi-
dable beak half open and its bare neck
looking like n serpent. A small hum
Bile Chicago dog-that Is, 1t was as
humble as anything born and bred In
the metropolis of the west can bring
itself to be-trotted quietly by. The
condor darted its snaky neck about and
clanked its mandibles viclously. The
dog looked panied and surprised, but
passed on. The condor followed. The
dog gave II a |reproachful glance. then
with a falsetto howl set upon II and In
a moment had the high and mighty
foreigner by the leg and was carrying
1t on. The surprise Of the animal keep
ers was beyond expression. They res
cued the monarch OF the aviary and
put 1t back in its cage, where 1t looked
the remainder Of the day about eight
degrees less autocratic than bsfore its
humiliation.

Earliest last Will"

Documents inscribed on plates OF
baked clay have been found among
the ruins OF Chaldea. which are un-
doubtedly wills drawn in legal form
dealing with the transfer and be-
queathing OF property. and which date
back to $500 b. C. But the earliest
personal bequest Of property to take
effect after death appears to be an
Egyptian document Of about the date
$500 II. c. II Is written on papyrus.
and is the will OF a priest leaving his
personal and real estate to his wife,
with power to transmit II to her chill
dren. This will further gives direc-
lions for burial. and is duly witnessed.
In fact, II Is so nearly Identical in
form to a modern will that, as a legal
authority has said, there would be no
difficulty in admitting 1t to probate IL
II were presented in a modern court
Of law.

formed that No Indisnities Will
BE offered the Empress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Li
Hung Chang's appeal for cessa-
tion of hostilities, pending negoti-
ations for peace, has been rejected
by the United States on the ground
that the demand of the administra-
tion (made on Aug. 12), that the
Chinese imperial troops cease their
attacks on foreigners, has not been
complied with; also for the addi-
tional reason that the Chinese gov
ernment is now apparently with
out a head. The reply of the
United States has not yet been
cabled to China. 1t may be with
held until the other powers are
heard from.
The viceroys of Marking and
HUMAN have been informed that
no indignities will be offered to
the Emperor and Empress dowager.
Minister Conger has cabled that
the legationers were relieved after
a desperate effort had been made
to exterminate them. He does not
know the whereabouts of the i'm
perial family.
Details of. the entrance of the
allied army into Peking are begin
ming to arrive. They show that
the Americans took a conspicuous
part in the engagement. During
the siege of the legationers the
Chinese threw 1000 shells into the
compound. The casualties in the
compound were 65 killed and 16C
wounded.

concerning the campaign, and also regard

great many speeches during the campaign
and has made arrangements to be in Chi
cago a week from next Monday. .
Those who conversed with the Governor
say that he is full of confidence as to the
results of the coming election, but az the
same time he thinks there should be a
very vigorous campaign in order to keep
the people informed regarding the impor-
tant issues. The Governor assured the

some complications just now over the State
ticket and State campaign.

promising letter from Mr.. Montagu White,

Reitz, dated Aug. 4, 1899. and two letters
from Mr.. Henry Labouchere to Mr.. White,
dated respectively, Aug. ?, 1899, and Aug
4, 1899, which Mr. White appears TO have
enclosed to Secretary Reitz, and a letter
of Joseph Chamberlain. the secretary of
state for the colonies, inviting Mr.
Labouchere to offer explanations or OBJ
servations thereon. and Mr.. Labouchere's
reply. Mr. Labouchere's letters are brief
and amount TO advice to the Transvaal to
gain time by acceptance of the proposed
commission TO settle the franchise ques-
tion etc, together with an expression OF
opinion from Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man, the Liberal leader in the House of
Commons, and the Liberals generally that
the British cabinet proposed the appoint
ment of the commission with the view of
giving Mr.. Chamberlain chance TO "climb
down." and that the cabinet deter
mined to have no war. He also said: THE
President has a great opportunity TO give
Joe another fall. ** The great thing
is to gain time. In few months We shall
be bowling about something in another
part of the world
Mr.. Labouchere's reply to Mr.. Chamber
lain admits the letters are genuine but
declines to recognize Mr.. Chamberlain's
.'pretension to ask for an explanation on
a matter concerning which he is ''only
responsible to Parliament and my constit-
uents,'' and invites Mr.. Chamberlain, in
the pursuance of his new diplomacy TO
publish all the correspondence between the
Colonial Office and the governors of Natal
and Cape Colony and between the gov
ernors and military commanders in South
Africa, $50 that the public may be able
to form sound opinion on the whole bus
mess, including the inadequate prepara-
tions and initial reverses, and also espe-
cially the Hawksley correspondence"
Mr. b. A. Hawksley was counsel for the
British South Africa Company at the time
of the Jameson raid and was generally
supposed to have been well posted on all
matters connected with it. The Independ-
ence Beige, i'm January 1899. published
number of letters to and from Mr.. Hawks
ley, purporting TO show Mr.. Chamberlain
was an accomplice to the jameson raid,
but other and more important letters are
said TO be in existence. 1t was claimed
at the time that the disclosures did not
prove Mr.. Chamberlain's completely in the
raid, but demonstrated his completely in
the efforts made afterwards to stife the
affair.

since her life sentence was imposed eleven
years ago Mrs Florence Maybrick had
private interview with her counsel Dr.
Clark Bell, of New York, at Aylesbury

counsel for the prisoner

chief justice. When the assizes were kere
last February Lord Russell came to the
prison and asked to see me, as was his Off

or any one. When he starting to go he
said: Mrs. Maybrick, l am doing all in
