BEARS TOO
And 1t il Forbidden to Feed Then
in Yellowstone Park.

Uncle Sam has 8 new and curious
worry now. 1t is to prevent persons
from going around and petting his big
wild bears in the woods and feeding
them with goodies.
Funny as it Is, it is true. So true is
II tina the officers who have charge
Of the Yellowstone National park.
which is where all this is happening,
have found themselves compelled to
post notices which read thus:
The feeding of, Interfering with,
or m~olestation Of the bear or n
other wild animal in the park is as~
sOlutely prohibited
This sign was put up because it was
found tina the bears had become al
together too im%pudent, owing to the
bad habits into which they had fallen
as a result of being pampered.
Thus it happened many times last
year that big bears frightened new WIS.,
ltors almost into commissions by amb-
ling cheerfully into their camps. Some
times the would follow strangers for
miles and the poor strangers would
race away, yelling, thinking all the
time that they were saving their lives
from wild beasts. while the wild beasts
topped along behind them intent on get
ting nothing more bloody than 2 bis
cult or a piece of sugar.
1t was not long before the folk in
the national park realized that the
bears were a great deal better of
while they remained in q perfectly
wild state.
An Their it was found that the hu-
man being in the park would be bet
ter off still: for big black and brown
bears and now and then a grizzly.

camps and ever the hotels at night
TO steal hams, bread, cake, and any
thing else that was particularly tempt
ing.
The very animals that became the
most friendly were the ones that did
he most harm. There were three es-
p~ecially-two black bears and one
brown bear-that became so familiar
and loving hat they acted as if they
were paying board at n Of the
hotels.
They would hang around the kitchen
and the rear veranda and run after
the guests, begging for something nice

themselves. At last, after they had
| smashed into q hotel pantry, and
frightened women and children ALMOST
TO death, the officials were forced to
shoot them.
Now the superintendent Of the park
has issued a warning. He announces
that any one who feeds or pets the
wild bears will be punished. He says
that they are perfectly harmless as
long as they are kept in a perfectly
wild state and left alone, but when
persons trifle with them they lose all
fear of human beings and proceed to
90 much damage to property.

they have become familiar, they are

"a Wolf in Sleeps Clothes"

We have all heard of wolves in
sneep's clothing" but last Friday night
a little incident happened near Popu-
lar Bridge that brings 70 mind the
Scriptural quotation. A sanctification
meeting was in progress and one of
the preachers started to accompany a
lady OF the community home after ser
vice. By sOma means she had heard
that he was a married man and, when
on the way to the young lady's home
he was confronted with the charge in
such a strong way that he acknowl-
edged TO being a married man and left
the young lady and tool to the woods.
Oothers were near by and heard the
acknowledgement. We 90 not know
what became Of the preacher, but our
advice to young ladies is beware Of
wolves in sleeps clothes."-S. A. H

Mr.. twenty miles southeast of High

Luce is known to have been drowned
and two others clambered aboard the
Ruttrick which put in here today. The
fate of the Luce is unknown.
Mate Sprague, of the Buttrick, who
had charge of the vessel when the COL
lision occurred, claims that the Luce
had 10 port light burning and tina
this fact caused the collision. The
Buttrick's stem struck the Luce about
midships on the port side. Her jib-
boom struck the Luce's main mast,
breaking it off and all three masts
were swept away leaving her entirely
helpless. 1t was not known how bad

self by reaching the Buttrick slipped
on the icy rails and went overheard.
There were seven men, including Cap
tain Heaton on board the Luce.
Mate Sprague OF the Buttrick says
the Luce would make a southeast drift
and should she keep afloat would in
all probability drift in the track OF
fishermen in which case the remainder
of the crew would probably be rescued.
AS her stern boat was badly stove
they would have no means of saving
themselves unless taken off by some

"Ben Hur" Record.

Inasmuch as Klaw and Erlanger's s stupendous spectacle of General Wal lace's Ben Hur" is soon to be given its first local presentation here in a short time, 1t will be of interest to read what the great religio- historic drama has done elsewhere and what the aggregate gross receipts for it's entire career amount to.
 Ben Hur'' is now in its fourth year and only twelve cities have been visited. The entire first season was played in New York at the Broadway theatre.
 The second season was divided between Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia and last season, after a short eastern tour which included return engagement to Philadelphia, the big production was talk en to St. Louis where 1t created wide spread comment. The gross receipts the last week of that engagement aggregated the surprising total of S27,000-the record of attendance for a singfe week.
 The tour this year opened in Indian apolis the home of General Wallace, and receipts there for three weeks reached s54.000 Since the Indianapolis engage ment the piece has played a week In Milwaukee to nearly $16,000; a week in St. Paul to nearly s17.0o0 week in Min neapolis to over $1900O. and week in II Ben Hur" keeps up it's average business to the end of the present season it will make a record of over s.u0.00O in gross receipts for four years. And this is ex- elusive of it's business at the Drury Lane, London, and the Australian company.
 in Kansas City. where Ben Hur'' has recently played at the Willis Wood thea tre, the advance sale up to the Saturday night preceding the opening of the en- gagement was the largest in the history of any western playhouse. They were SIS 320.
 Ben Hur" will be given its first pro- duction in the south at the Jefferson theatre in thls city, Tuesday, February 10 and continue the balance of the week with as many matinees as may be neces- sary to accommodate those wishing to see the production. It will be the most important dramatic event Birmingham has ever experienced.

Mason and Mason.

Rudolph and Adolph." the musical comedy by Charles Newman in which Mason and Mason are so successfully starring contains a well developed plot which of itself is sufficient to provoke laughter without the aid of the special ties and musical numbers which are in- troduced.
 The first act takes place in the home of Rudolph Dinkenspei1 horse doctor. This character is played by Dan Mason, long Known as a deineator of the ec- centric German characters on the stage. Rudolph during the absence of his wife, has rented a furnished flat in an apart ment building, staying with him is a young friend, Jack Warden. His servants comprise a cook of pugilistic tendencies. by name Rosalind McGovern and maid. This maid is In reality the soubrette of the Casino; she is to play in the next pro- tluction there and wishing to know her character at first hand has arranged to have her understudy play her role in the piece then running so that she can 20 forth and accumulate actual experience.
 The flat across the hall from Rudolph has been rented by Adolph Dfnkenspeil. a ladies tailor, played by Charles A. Ma son, another clever German dialectician. His wife has been away on visit, and, coming nome uHexpectedly on 1nqulr1ng for Mrs. Dinkenspeirs apartment, she is directed to that of Rudolph. There she proceeds to make herself very much at home. When Rudolph arrives he finds a charming young woman comfortably domiciled in his flat
 The third act of the play is a decided novelty. The action takes place in Adolph's dressmaldng establishment. Ru- dolph, however, has purchased an inter est in the business. and much to the chagrin of Adolph and the bewilderment of his patrons. he brings his horse phraseology and methods ipto his new occupation. During the actioh of the play numerous specialties are introduced by Mason and Mason who are clever singers and dancers and the other members of the company assisted by chorus of particularly pretty girls

 In eduipping this company many dol- lars have been spent on accessories alone. The minute the curtain goes up, the com pany is seen so dispersed as to give ef- fectiveness to the environment.

A cabin in the shadows of overhanging trees, seen at early dawn, at evening and under the tranquil light of the moon. Primrose here introduces a new dance. which also brings into prom thence his proteges. 'The Twins" whose pickaninny movements. 1t is said, are as graceful as they are artistic.
 MT Dockstader is in usual evidence with his impersonations and songs. He never offends as his intelligent mind and happy intentions guide him into chan nels of mirth that put an audience in sympathy with all he says and does. Be- sides this, his topical songs are such hits that his auditors are kept buDbling over with good humor.

Primrose and Dockstader are said to have good company of minstrels on the road this season. An individual goes to a minstrel performance to laugh and have a good time. This is a general cus- tom, but if the jokes introduced are old and worn-out, If the acts be of kind that do not suggest effort to surprise and please; if the singing be of an order not to please educated ears. then the enter tainment fails and is very properly con- demned.
