HAD SKATER ON THE RUN.
Adventure of the Hcnvy.Wcight Gen.
 cra1 with Yellowstone Bear.


 crni with n Yellowstone Bear.
 Old Mitch, an ex-sergcant of the reg. ulars, now living in San Francisco, told Q reporter this story few days ago:
 "Well, slr," began Mitch, q have hunted bears several times myself, and l have seen others hunt them, but will never forget the time that Gen. Shafter went after big game. I was with Miles then, up in the Yellowstone country, and Shafter came through the post on trip north. Shafter said he wanted to get some bear hunting, and so Miles and few of us took the gen. eral in an army wagon up on one of the forks, where we knew the beasts were to be found.
 After we had been on the road some hours we spotted an old one and her cubs off on little level flat some rods from the road. We let the general take q shot at the bear, but he missed and she went off into the bushes Noth- ing would do but that Shafter must go after her, so he started, and the rest of us stayed in the wagon so that he could have all the sport of bringing her down. Well, Shafter disappeared in the bushes and there was no noise for minute, and then we heard shot. We were just saying that the general must have made his kill, when there was yell and here comes Shafter.
 "He came out of those bushes on the jump, waving his gun and going over the high places like rabbit. You know that must have been going some for Gen Shafter. Behind him, about 100 paces, was the bear with her back bumped up and skipping at her sides as she ran. The general was coming down hill towards us and was right in line with the bear, so we could not take shot at her without being in danger of hitting Shafter.
 "Well sir, the way Gen. Shafter came down that slope was something to re- member He finally tore up to the wagon and we hauled him in over the tailboard. Then one of the men shot the bear.
 "When Shafter had got his breath some, he turned to Miles and said: Miles, l don't think much of your new carbines out here. They would not be of much good in forced retreat And he broke the gun at the breech and showed Miles the empty shell, which had lodged in the chamber"

Will RETIRE
FROM PULPIT
Rev. A. s. Gibbons Announces
That After Many Years of
Work He. Will Take a Rest

/, At the weekly meeting Of the Metho-
dist preachers yesterday morning the
Rev. A. s.. Gibbons, d. D., was intro
duced and made an, interesting address.
DR.. Gibbons, who issthe Oldest member
of the Methodist ministry on this coast.
gave an interesting sketch of his ca
.reer5of forty three years in the minis
try. t
In the course OF his address DR.. Glib
bons made an announcement that
caused regret among his many friends
in the ministry and will also cause re-
gret among church workers generally.
After long and honored careeryhe in
tends to retire at the coming confer
ence. Although he has worked earnest
ly for many years DR.. Gibbons is still
in excellent health, but desires to rest
after his years of labor before he is
called to his eternal sleep.
DR.. Gibbons joined the Pacific Con-
ference in 1852 and since that time has
always been active in church work, de-
voting his energies more, however, to
teaching than to preaching. For ten
years he was president of the UniVer-
sity Of the Pacific, and he has also been
an instructor in that institution. Dur
ing his long career he has always been
held in the highest esteem. At present
he is stationed at Redwood City which
will probably be his last charge.
Owing to the annual conference at
Pacific Grove no meeting of the
Methodist preachers will be held
in this city next Monday The nearness
of the conference depleted the attend
ance yesterday, and the reading of a
paper by DIR. White was postponed.
The Congregational ministers met in
the Young Mems Christian Association
hall yesterday morning, and while the
attendance was good no papers were
read. The subject of prayer meetings
was informally discussed by DR.. G. c.
Adams of this city, DR.. c. r. Brown Of
Oakland and others.

Public Gradually Awakens to the Fact.
The latest fad in operations has been
the appendicitis fad: before that the
fad for rectal operations (piles, etc.)
held sway. Hundreds of patients were
frightened and hurried into hospitals,
operated upon and robbed>of their last
dollar, when the trouble was a simple
case of hemorrhoids or piles only, easily
cured at home with simple remedy
costing but fifty cents a box.
81 procured one tifty-cent box of
Pyramid Pile Cure of my druggist. with
the intention of buying larger box
later, but was happily surprised when
/ found that I was cured, and still have
six pyramids left out of the first and
only box. / have not had the least
sign of piles since I used this one box,
which has been about two months;
previous to using Pyramid Pile Cure |
had the worst kind of bleeding and pro-
truding piles for over thirty-one years,
and no one knows, except those who
have had the piles, the pain and misery
I suffered.
81 am a poor man, but have of ten
said I would give a fortune, if I had
it, to be cured of the piles, and now |
have been cured for fifty cents. / should
be very ungrateful if l did not thank

there are so many who suffer as I did.
