SAW BUCK AND BEAR FIGHT.
The Former Won, Although the
Lighter in Weight.
:. New York Tribune.

Bangor CMe) Coz. New York Tribune
Old hunters have always claimed that
while at certain times and under certain
conditions bull moose is an ugly customer
to meet, he is not to be compared as a fight
with the buck deer. People unaccustom-
ed to the ways of wild animals have gen.
orally regarded this as a fable or at least
as exaggeration, but Thomas Leach of
Dayton Ohio, one of party of Ohio sports
men who have just concluded a hunting
trip at St Croix Lake, is now ready to
make affidavit to the truth of what the
veterans say. He has seen a buck deer
whip bear. and afterward come back
to the battle-ground to gloat over his vic
tory.
One day last week Mr. Leach was travel
ing over an old logging road, when his at
tention was attracted by savage growing
in the brush near at hand. He left the
road and proceeded to investigate, and had
gone only a few rods when he came upon
buck deer and medium sized bear
gagged in deadly combat. II was a fierce
battle, the bear using his teeth and claws
and the buck his horns and sharp hoofs.
The bear was plainly getting the worst Of
it, and in a few minutes he turned and
fed for his life.
In making his escape the bear ran d.
rectly past Mr.. Leach, and was an easy
mark, but the deer got away. Mr.. Leach
dressed the bear and hung the carcass
in a tree, returning then TO camp. Next
morning when he went back for the bear.
there were fresh deer tracks around the
tree, and he sat down on log and waited.
In the course of an hour the same war
like buck that had vanquished the bear
appeared and began paving the ground
around the tree where his late enemy was
hanging. Mr.. Leach gave the buck time to
gloat a little over his victory, and then
dropped him with one shot from his rife.
The buck dressed 1913 pounds and the bear
235 pounds

RATES TO THE PACIFIC.
Interstate Commission Considers Com
plants From st. Louis.

The interstate commerce commission,
which has had under consideration the
complaint Of the Business Mems League of
St. Louis against the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fee Railroad Company that freight
rates from the middle west to the Pacific
coast are too high, has rendered a decision
in which some of the rates are declared to
be too high. while the information regard
ing others is declared to be insufficient to
base an opinion. and further hearing Of the
case in St. Louis is fixed for February 2
next.
The rate on carload lots averages so cents
per 100 pounds and this, considering water
competition and all other circumstances, is
regarded by the commission as not excess
slve. The rate on shipments of less than
car load lots Is much higher, and It is on this
class of freight which the commission has
decided that more information must be OBJ
tanned before judgment can be passed as to
the correctness of the claim Of the Bust
ness Mems League.

A NJ ON G THE ERS
A MoRAvIAN MISSIONARY TELLS
OF HIS EXPERIENCE.
In Charge of Home Near Paramaribo
characteristics Of the Disease
It's Utter Hopelessness.

The Rev. Henry Theodor Weiss of Para
marble, Dutch Guiana, who, together with
his wife, has come to the United States
under a commission from the board Of
managers of the Protestant Association Of
that country in the interests of the Bethes-
da Home for Lepers, located near Para
marble, was in the city several days this
week on matters connected with his mis-
sion In this country. While in Washington
Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss were presented to
President Roosevelt, who, 1t is stated, re-
ceived them cordially and expressed him
self as sincerely interested in their work.
Two years ago, Mr.. Weiss. who is min
lister Of the Moravian faith, was sent to
Paramaribo from Germany as a missionary
of that church to take charge Of the
asylum for lepers previously mentioned. The
purpose Of his visit to this country is to
interest the people of the United States in
the work of caring for and aleviating the
sufferings of the, unfortunate people in
Dutch Guiana who ar, afflicted with the
dread disease, leprosy, and also to solicit
financial aid from churches and charitable
individuals for the Institution of which he
is the director. The Two missionaries are
provided with letters of recommendation
from the minister of foreign affairs in Hol-
land the governor of Surinam, and also
from the consuls of the United States, Great

Work Among the Lepers.

In an interview with a Star reporter Mr..
Weiss spoke Interestingly concerning his
work among the lepers. He stated that the
government of Surinam has set aside
peninsula near the point where the Surinam
river flows into the gulf, and on this little
neck of land is the leper colony of Groot
Chatillon, where the government maintains
a leper hospital, and where the Bethesda
Home is situated. The Roman Catholic
Church has also established an asylum for
lepers near the city of Paramaribo.
Mr.. Weiss stated that the disease seemed
more prevalent among the negro and In
dian inhabitants of Dutch Guiana than
among Europeans, and that the former
sometimes live from twenty-five to thirty
years after the leprosy has been discovered
In their system. The Europeans, however,
when they become affected with the dis
ease rarely live more than three or four
years afterward.
Since the Improvement in facilities for
travel, said Mr.. Weiss, "a considerable
number of lepers from the West India
Islands have come into the country. A per-
son may have the disease in his system for
seven years without any outward signs Of
it being exhibited, and for this reason, per-
sons affected with ieprosy come into the
country without their real condition being
discovered. and, in fact. the persons af-
ficted may not know of their infection.
The iepers IN Surinam may be numbered
by the hundreds. the poor creatures being
only daring to venture out under the cover
of darkness. 1t is quite impossible for
those unacquainted with the disease to
understand the full import Of the word
Ieper,' but to those living in the West
Indies, and in many other parts Of the
world where this terrible disease Is sadly
familiar, the word falls on. the ear as a
knell OF utter desolation and hopelessness
Colony Of Groot Chatillon.
1.-THE Dutch government established the
present colony of Groot Chatillon in 1897,
and now every leper found in the open
street Of the towns is arrested and banished

five guelders being paid to any one who
brings in one OF these poor creatures. But
the desire to remain at hnzne among their

SOME SNOW
With Considerable Rain and
SIeet in November.
Month VIII be a Pretty stormy
One, says Hicks, in Word
aud Works.

The summary OF the weather
forecasts for November, by Rev.
Irl II Hicks, 10 Word and Works,
is as follows.
The FIRST storm movements for
this month Will be central on the
3rd and 4th. on and touching these
days rife in temperature, falling
barometer, cloudiness and rain will
pass eastwardly from western ex-
tremes to the Atlantic. The west
ern and northern sides Of this and
all storm areas at this season, will
most likely turn to snow, and as
the high barometer pushes in from
the northwest behind the storms
high, cold winds and freezing,
clearing weather will succeed.
The second storm period for No
vember will be conferred on the 9th
extending from the 9TH to the 18th.
This is regular Vulcan period,
with moon at first quarter on the
18th, and on the celestial equator on
the llth. AS we enter well into
this period marked change
warmer will move out of western
parts, failing barometer will follow,
and wide areas Of autumnal rain
win move eastward from about the
9Lh TO the 18TH These storms vii 4
reach the eliminating stage about
the 18th with possible lightning and
thunder Southwark, all followed
from the northwest by change to
snow, rising barometer and cold,
clearing weather.
On and touching the 18th ano
10th low barometer, rising temper
ature, aud wide areas of renewed
rain, turning to snow generally to
the north.
Watch, first for warmer, pleas
ant weather, then for cloudiness
and rain, then for shift of tempera
ture to wind with snow. then for
high barometer, stiff, northerly .
gales and cold clearing weather.
One Of the marked storm periods 1
of the month falls in and near the
center of a Mercury period. This
Vulcan period covers the 10Th t.
the 23rd Low barometer and .
warmer will end in general rains,
rains will lead to snow and sleet-
look for shetland snow and sleet
will be attended and followed by
a change amounting to a cold wave.
This period will come to its crisis
about the 22nd and 23rd.
ION and touching the Doth and
9th, the cloudy, unsettled weather,
from the Mercury equinox,
will grow into decided autumnal
OF rain, wind and snow. In
all northern sections look for heavy
sleet. High northwesterly winds
and change TO quite cold will follow
these storms. Let all out door work
be in good shape for winter storms
and weather before this time.
frosts and freezing will penetrate
far into the south, along with high
barometer behind these storms.
AS the mOnth goes out a storm
period will be in its first stages; it
will be turning warmer in the west,
with falling barometer and other
indications of approaching storms.
This period will eliminate IN the
opening days of December.
