HUNTING COLORADO BEAR.
Bruin Furnishes Good Shooting Until

The spring season for Colorado bear is
comparatively brief, as the fur is In prime
condition only for a short time after the
bears come out, says Illustrated Sporting
News. They take Immediately to a vegetable
diet and strenuous life, which soon works

winter coat becomes thin and more or less
shaggy. By September, however, the fur
is again in good condition and from then on
hunting is good until real winter sets In

not necessarily in "a dark den In the rocks

STITCHES IN HIS HEART.
Marvellous Piece Of Surgery at a Lon
don Hospital.
London Daily Mail.

The wonders of the East in the shape of
the Mahatma now at oxford who is able to
stop the beating of his heart are rivaled by
a wonder of the East End who has been
shot through the neck and stabbed in the
heart and yet lives to mystify the medical
profession.
John Long. who survives these two vital
accidents, lives in Hackney, and his case
was mentioned in the papers when ii was
announced that through the marvellous sur
gerry at the hospital he survived the Oper-
alton of having his heart stitched! A rep
resentative of the Daily Mail who saw him
yesterday was told that at present he feels
as well as ever in his life. In Longs Owl
words the story loses none of its astonish-
ing features.
"A drunken foreigner picked a quarrel
will me on May 80 last. He fiourished a
penknife, which | tried to get away, but he
stabbed me in the region of the heart. l
felt no more pain than If the knife had
passed between two fingers without cutting
them. but | had a fearful fight to draw
breath, and soon lost consciousness. After
my case had been pronounced hopeless by a
local doctor, who gave me half an hour to
live. l was taken to the London Hospital,
where Mr. Furnival, a visiting surgeon, per-
formed an immediate operation.
Three ribs had to be cut through, and
part of the breastbone had to be removed.
The gall bladder was placed on one side, and
the lungs disturbed in order to get at the
wound. Three stitches were put In the
heart, and the pericardium emptied of the
blood that had got into it. Then l was
told l made rapid recovery, and after two
months was discharged from the hospital.
Doctors used TO crowd round me while
there in order to see my heart, which could
be observed beating at the bottom of a
wound three inches across.
This is where / was stabbed" and Long
showed the outward and visible signs of
his marvellous escape. Across the chest
was a red scar between six and seven inches
long, with marks where stitches had been
put In, but in the center was a depression
which throbbed with a sort of double
knock" the actual beating of the heart
only a short distance from the surface Of
the wound.
Long wears a shield of block leather and
aluminium with straps over his chest to
| prevent any injury to the wound.
The shooting accident occurred about four
years ago when he and a friend were ex-
6miuing a revolver.

BRIDGE OF MISFORTUNE.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND, Ind. Nov. 13.-A bridge
which spans the Nolan's Fork river in the
village park at Fountain City has had a
part in an unusual chain of misfortunes
during the last few months.
While the periodically inclined citizens
of the town and country surrounding were
celebrating the Fourth of July this year,
too many started to cross the bridge at
the same time. The bridge collapsed in
the middle. and over a hundred people
went scrambling through into the water.
Luther Horn, of Bethel, sustained a frac-
tured leg, Miss Mae Overman a fractured
arm, and a half dozen others were seri-
ously hurt in various ways in the crashing
timbers. The Town Council thought to
make the -passageway more safe by the
purchase of a new steel bridge.
In setting some of the heavy steel struc-
tural work, a few days ago, one of the
workmen fell and fractured his arm in
two places, and yesterday Barlow Price. a
well-known citizen of the town, thought
to offer the workmen some assistance. He
had been at work but a short time when
a king bolt left its place and the heavy
structure fell on his leg, crushing 1t severe
ly just below the knee.

especially pleasing. The march by Rolf. in
the last group, was brilliantly rendered in
Mr.. Pierce's best style.
Mrs. Charlotte Adam-Raschig, who has
been in Berlin for a year, was one of the
~soloists, and If there had ever been any
doubt about her standing as a soloist and
popular musician In Indianapolis, that doubt
was dispelled by the ovation she received

"Lohengrin," and sang ii beautifully and eff
fectively and with great expression She
