WHEN THE PRESIDENT GOES
HUNTING FOR GRIZZLY

WHEN President Roosevelt leaves
w for the West on his hunting trip
early in April. it is not probable he will
follow the methods which made his out
ing in the cauebrakes OF Mississippi
such a failure last fall. Although the
President returned without a bear pelt
it is to his credit that he refused TO
shoot the NANCY bruin which one OF the
guides lassoed and tied TO a tree as
target for the Presidential rife.
The itinerary for the Western trip in
cludes some of the best hunting ground
in the Rocky Mountains. 1t is reported
that the President will visit northern
Colorado for bear and mountain lions
and then try his luck at elk in northern
Wyoming and the Jack sons Hole district
TO the south OF the Yellowstone. Elk are
still fairly plentiful in the sections nam
ed. but it is doubtful whether the Presi-
dent will bag many bears unless he en-
ploys new tactics.
The grizzly enjoys being hunted with
"a brass band. He is sute of longer tenure
of life and possibly he enjoys the music.

How the Grizzly Is Hunted.
The methods for hunting the grizzly
in the West have changed in the last ten
years. To be sure, the professional guide
takes out party of tenderfeet and guar
antees them a shot at bear. and as a
usual thing he is able to make good his
promise. But he knows that his patrons
will be more than satisfied II the hide OF
n single silver tip can be obtained as a
trophy for the entire party
Hunting has resolved itself into a mat
ter Of hard work that will tax the pa

Nimrod. Bruin is no longer encountered
IN random stroIls over the mountains.
He keeps close to his lair, or hold

is he seen in daylight unless he has been
out late over night through the allure
ment of the succulent servis berry. and
even then he shuffies back 20 his noun

The experienced Western hunter has
found the method OF dragging bait the
most effective for coming to close range
with the grizzly. After camp has been
pitched a search is made for traces of
bear. After the trail has been found.
and 1t Is impossible for the expert 10

Next comes the selection OF the spot
10 which the grizzly is to be enticed
II is just as well to be careful on this
point. for the silver tip IS apt 90 re

hunters. and unless the first shot Is
fatal he is inclined 10 come 20 close
quarters. For this reason it is wise 10
pick out the shelter OF a ledge or group
Of boulders. which will afford conceal
ment for the party and at the same time
present obstacles to a possible charge
by the bear.
II the bait has been dragged properly
over n fresh trail there is little doubt
of an early visit from bruin. He may
not come the first night but he Is likely
TO come the second. But the hunters
have little chance to become lonely for
the mountain opera with its ensemble Of
coyote howls and cries of bob cat and
mountain lion precludes all thought of
bait but the growing and quarreling
of the wild animals tell that it is not be-
ing neglected.
Bruin Is Wary at First.
At last the deep. hog-like grunt of the
grizzly tells the party their vigil has not
been in vain. He is cautious at first,
and walks around the carcass of the an
telope as If suspicious of it's appearance.
Finally hunger compels him TO throw
prudence to the winds. and once he OBJ

after the arrival OF the guest of honor.
The hunters can hear the rending Of

ed with grunts Of satisfaction, while a
circle of green eyes shows that the
minor beasts OF prey have retired TO
safe distance. where they sit in greedy
expectancy until the monarch OF the

Makes a Fight of It.
Safety comes at last even to a hungry
grizzly. He lies down within a few feet
of the carcass, close enough TO drive
away any intruders. However, he sus-

Soon he is on his feet, gorging himself

arrived late he is apt TO stay until the

the opportunity for which they have
waited. Often, however, he leaves before
daylight, having previously taken the
precautiOn to bury the remains OF his
feast.

will be rewarded by the return of the

Purposes of the Order.

The order was formed in the United
States in 1887 in Chicago. but II was
not until the following year that IT re-
Ceived the sanction OF the Methodist
Church. Its mission is to aid the poor
in whatever manner the occasion may
demand. No vows are required from
those who care to take up the work
and they are at liberty to leave when
ever inclination prompts.
In the school here as well as in other
cities. a special course OF instruction is
given. The Bible is the first considera-
tion. 1t is thoroughly taught, that the
deacOncsses may be prepared to spread
the Christian faith among the poor and
those unfortunates who have either not
had opportunity 10 hear II preached or
who have ignored such privileges.
Realizing that there is a large and
widening field for women workers in the
cause OF Christianity the order was
formed by energetic and pious wo-
men. Their work does not take the
deasonesses to the homes of the rich. but
leads them instead through the slums,
the downtown quarters. into the sparse-
" populated portions Of a city.
While the chief object of the order is

institutions and one with which the
general local public is unfamiliar is the

The most interesting OF the three is
the home for deaconesses. a picturesque

 All the company's steamships between

 same condition applies to at least three
 fourths of the crew.
 On the Campania, Umbria and Lucania, until the new vessels have been completed and thereafter on the new vessels, all the certificated officers other than the en- gineers and not less than half the crews must belong to the royal naval reserve. The company is not allowed to sell any

The Archbishop Talks of Cardinal
 Sarto, the New Pope.
 St. Paul, Minn., Aug. A-Archbishop Ireland, in speaking of the new Pope said:
 50 far as known Cardinal Sarto, now elected Pope, is man of deep learning and recognized prudence of action. He administered the important diocese of Venice in manner to draw him universal praise. While Archbishop and Cardinal he seldom visited Rome.
 He enters into the pontihcate free from all entangling alliances, free in every way to carve out for himself his own career.
 'oThe election of Cardinal Sarto Is not surprise. It was evident from the be- ginning that if one outside of Rome was to be chosen that one would be Cardinal Sarto, and a not uncommon course of conclaves is to take as its candidate one outside the Eternal City, so that his future administration may be from the beginning. one entirely and manifestly in- spired by his own wisdom and knowledge of affairs.
 This Is exactly what happened when Leo XIII. himself was chosen"

RACE PREJUDICE STRONG

Washington, Aug. 4-(Special.) )-6 the recent frequent race troubles with conse- Quences in the same line do not diminish the negro population of Indiana and llli- nois by the autumn of 1904, there will be at least 2e.Ooo negro voters in the former and s5.O0O in the latter State. Naturally there has been an awakening of curious interest among Southerners here in the possible effect of all the bloody thrustine home of the negro question upon these Northern States. Today prominent In diana Democrat who does not wish his name used. made the following interesting statement here:
 You would be surprised to know that there is likelihood of the negro vote in Indiana and Illinois which has been as- sured by President Roosevelt's course to the Republicans being offset by the loss of white Republican votee. That Is. however, fact arising out of the existing race prejudice in these States.
 NO one can have failed to observe the state of public sentiment against the eolored race, in Indiana and Illinois: it is more pronounced in Indiana. but Is bad C4AOtbA AAA &tAAAAOto. dAk oAA oA0 Ae 70 5AN inf worse every day and no one knows where 1t will stop,
 The Political Phase.
 "Now we are beginning to observe a sentiment among the whites on the poli- ticai phase of the situation similar to that of the Southerners. The Republl- can party is being looked upon as the party of the negro and Is being deserted by white Republicans who share the race prejudice. The feeling Is especially noticeable in the small towns and crops out in the municipal elections.
 "It Is question how far that feeling will extend, b 1t is growing and will have its weight in future elections. fThe Republican managers in order C recognize the negro vote. place negro candidates on the tickets for minor of. fees. That results In a hue and cry from the Democrats that 1t Is a negro ticket and local pressure Is brought to bear to keep men from voting 1t who are known to entertain feeling on the race question.
 My statement may be received with incredulity in the North, but nothing is impossible in a community where the race feeling is so strong that a caterer from a neighboring town who is employed to serve a banquet Is forbidden to bring his negro walters in for one night and the walters are driven out the town with actual violence" R.
