IT THE SIGN OF THE BEAR.
Why the Fur Is the Most Popular for
Adyertjsjno


The man who comes to New York
only once in ten years said he could
not understand why the bears in Cen
tral Park seemed SO much stuck up
than the rest of the animals. but after
he had travelled about town for sew
eral days he saw through it. 1t was
because SO per cent of the furriers in
town have chosen a big black bear
for an advertising sign. Why the
other animals in the Zoo should be so

man not little. One day he asked a
furrier about IL.
1T is because the bears last longer
than anything else." said the furrier.
"Of all the animals in New York l
don't know of any that have harder
time than those that stand outside fur
riers' stores, winter and summer, and
try to drum up trade for their employ

furriers have tried the fox, lynx and
other animals now and then at a ven

Climate and Crops.

During the first week of September
the nights have been quite cool. frost
occurring at several points on the
night of the 4th. The winter wheat
harvest has been finished and the
harvesting of oats and spring wheat
is drawing to a close. The heavy
rains of the last few days worried
farmers some as they fear the grain
in the shocks was so Thoroughly
soaked that it will have to be set out
to dry unless clear and windy weather
follows. which seems to be present
conditions. In this vicinity a few or
chards contain ripening apples. The
bulk of the fruit crop will come IN
in about three weeks.

The New Opera Block.

The walls of the new brick building
under construction adjoining the
opera hall are rapidly going up and
good progress is being made. When
the new building is completed Mr..
Mcintosh will remove the lodge rooms
from their present location to the up
per part of the new building and the
opera house stage will be moved to
the rear of the present hall. The
stage will be made much deeper and
the ceiling raised, making much more
room than at present. II possible
the changes will be made this fall
but on account of the lateness OF the
season it is hardly probable that this
can be done.
