ested in Many Concerns.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Archibald Nc
Leod. former president Of the Philadelphia
& Reading Railroad, who has been i'll at
his home in this city since Feb. 6, died late
this afternoon.
The death Of Mr.. Mcleod was unexpect-
Cd though his illness was of most serious
nature. He never fully recovered from
an operation for appendicitis performed
early in March this year. Several times
during the last few weeks he has been very
low and his death was hourly expected. OF
late. however. he seemed TO improve and
almost until the moment Of his death
strong hopes were entertained Of his re-
covery. A short time before his death he
was visited by his physicians and they left
him resting, it was believed. comfortably
Archibald A. Mcleod was a financier and

pany. He worked his way up until he be-
came the president OF the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad. He was Instrumental in
building the Philadelphia & Reading termi-
nal in Philadelphia. About ten years ago
Mr. Mcleod attempted 10 bring about a
combination of all the coal roads, includ-
ing the Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna 81
Western and others. but for want of capital
failed and was forced to abandon the
scheme. He was for a time interested In
the Whitney-Ryan combination, then a con-
trolling influence in railroad affairs. Mr..
Mcleod was also interested in the Amer
lean Air-power Brake Company and the
American Railway Company, operating
trolley lines In various parts OF the country,
and a one time was president of the Bos
ton * Maine Railroad He had been re-
tired from active business several years
ago, still holding, however, a large amount
Of stock in the American Railroad Com
pany. Mr.. Mcleod was also president and
director of the American Air-pOwer Com
pany, and director of the Hartford & Con-
necficut Western Railroad Company.

Fired on Three Intruders.

Shots on Euclid avenue shortly after last
midnight caused windows to fly open and
night-capped heads to appear No one was
hurt, although the excitement was intense
for while. John Kern, living at No. $50
Euclid avenue, was awakened out of a
sound sleep by the sound of voices in front
Of his house and other noises, as if some
one was trying TO force an entrance into
the house. He cautiously raised the win
dow Of his sleeping room and took a look.
In the gloom he perceived three men, one
outside the fence and two standing on his
veranda. He ordered them away from the
premises and, as they did not go quickly
enough TO suit him, he opened fire upon
the trio. As they ran they returned the
fire, and, although the bullets whizzed dan
gerously close, no damage was DONE

banquet Of the Colorado Society Sons Of the

An rnw~nae~a B~~r.r@p.

The Mexicana In California had an
ingenious method OF trapping bears
before the advent OF the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
eion. A piece OF meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb of an oak
tree. From a limb Ave or six feet above
q rope was suspended. TO the end OF
which a large stone was made fast 50
chat II hung about six inches above and
a trifie nearer the trunk than the meat
on the lower limb.
When Il bear smelled the meat from
afar, be would climb up the tree and
make his way 10 the bait In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side Just as he was about TO
fasten his teeth In the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head.
This would arouse the anger of the
bear, and he would give the stone a
sweep of his paw which would send
It swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit In return
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu-
lum with all his yigor, One powerful
sweep. then bang. and bruin would be
tumbled out of the tree TO the rocks
below, where. disabled by his fall. he
would be at the mercy Of those who
set the trap whenever they chose TO
take him. 49,

There is only one genuine brand of
eau de cologne in the whole wide
world, and it's composition Is family
secret and has been so for nearly 2OO

II was in 1906 or thereabouts that
the manufacture Of the famous per
fume was first established by one Clio
vanni Maria Farina IN the city whence
Il takes its name. There are now In
Cologne and its immediate neighbor-
hood some fifty factories for its prep
aration, over forty of them being In
the hands OF persons bearing the name
of FarIna. The others are conducted
by kinsmcn and kInswomen. mostly
relations by marriage. 1t has been es-
