GET THREE MORE BEARS.
President Roosevelt and His Party
Having Good Luck.


Glepwood Springs, Colo, April &c
President Roosevelt's hunting trip
has been crowned with success far
beyond his expectations. Three bears
were killed by the party during the
day and one Monday, one by the presi-
dent end one by DR.. Lambert. P. B..
Stewart of Colorado Springs arrived
here at night accompanied by Courier
Chapman. They brought the story of
the hunt. The news of the killing of
the three bears was telephoned to
them and they understood that Presi-
dent Roosevelt brought down two of
them. The party is almost snow
bound in it's present location and no
attempt will be made to cross the d.
vide. Fifteen feet of snow is on the
ground on the other side and any eff,
fort to reach Redstone would he futile.
The hunters are satisfied, however,
for they have reached the center of
what the guides say is the best bear
country In Colorado. Bob cats are
thick and several fine skins have been
taken.
The bear killed by the president
was OF the brown variety, furnishing
a much finer pelt that the first ami
nal killed. One of the bears killed
during the day is said to be a grizzly.

IN PATTERSON CASE
Coroner's Physician Changes
His Opinion.
He Does Not Now Believe Young
Ended His Life.
Dr.. 0'HanIon Says 1t Is Case for
Jury to Decide.
Police Captain Sweeney Tells
of Conversation.

New York, April 26-Perhaps the
most interesting development in the
testimony of the day in the trial of
Nan Patterson. charged with the MUIR
der of Caesar Young, came when Cor
oner's Physician O'Hanlon took the
witness stand for the prosecution and
said in reply to questions that he had
changed his opinion that Young had
committed suicide
Dr. OILanlon performed the autop.
sy on Young's body. In his testimony
during the day he said:
MY present opinion is not the opin.
ion | formerly expressed to Coroner
Brown"
The counsel for the defense. Law
yer Levy, asked the doctor:
did you report this case to COro-
ner Brown as one of suicide?"
When DR.. O'Hanlon replied in the
affirmative, Mr. Levy asked:
do you now say that in your best
Judgment it is a case of suicide?"
mo. won't say that"
Didn't you say so once?" was
asked.
IL did. but | think now it is a case
for the jury to decide. | thought t
the time that l detected powder
marks OH the hands of Caesar Young"
Assistant District Attorney Rand
then produced the official report of DR..
O'Hanlon, which did not define the
case as one of suicide and the doc
tor said that he simply expressed the
suicide opinion in conversation with
Coroner Brown.
Did Not Hold the Same Opinion.
After some further questioning Mr..
Rand asked the witness If he still held
the same opinion that he expressed to
Coroner Brown and DR.. O'Hanlon re-
piled that he did not.
This incident came at the close Of
the days proceedings in the trial.
When court opened Miss Patterson
appeared In black and white checked
dress, in direct contrast to the mourn
ing costume which she has worn DUR
ing days of this and previous trials.
AT the days nearing POfce captain
Sweeney told of a conversation he had
with Miss Patterson soon after her
arrest, in which she said she had put
her hand in Young's pocket after the
shot had been fired and looked at the
revolver and then dropped it back in
the pocket.
The scenes on West Broadway
where the shooting took place were
gone over by witnesses and the cab
driver who was on the box when
Young was shot was on the stand He
was asked why he did not look in the
cab when he heard the shot fred and
replied:
1T was not my place. Suppose |
had looked in and got shot"

RUSSIAN Losses AT mukoEr
The General Staff Places Them al
About Ninety Thousand Men.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, April &c.
An exact statement of the exact
loss in all categories in the battle OF
Mukden. from Feb. 10 to March 4.
compiled by the general staff, shows
that the casualties were greatly over
stated in earlier reports. Statements
from Japanese sources indie atins
Wholesale capture OF prisoners, enor.
nous booty and cannon are now de-
MED. In reality it appears the Rus
sian losses amounted to generals
who were captured, 1885 staff and
other officers and S7,677 men, of whom
the greater part, about $4,000, were
wounded. In evacuating Mukden and
retreating to the northward the Rus
SLAMS lost 80 guns. of which 3 were
mortars, 3 old type field guns with
piston action and 26 quick-fire guns
Of the siege artillery every gun and
all the ammunition carts were sent
north two days before the retreat be-
ban. General Karkavitch, the chief
of staff, calculates that other losses
aside from wounded were as follows:
About $4,000 killed; 1000 to 5000
known to have been captured and TO-.
600 to 10000 missing, of whom sew,
eral thousand were drivers, sanitary
and commissariat corps employees and
other noncombatants. A very large
number were slightly wounded and re-
turned to the ranks.
This would indicate that the extent
Of the Japanese victory and the dis.
order of the Russian retreat have
been exaggerated and the spirit of the
Russian army is still strong and the
troops are not demoralized

1t has been said that Henry Clay
achieved success so easily that he
quite misunderstood others and over
estimated himself. But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
he had to do In "The True Henry
Clay" the author gives an instance of
this:
At fourteen Henry became clerk in
} store in Richmond, whittier the fam
lily had removed. Stories are told Of
his willingness to do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproved by the store
keeper for wasting too much twine.
Thereafter he saved every. scrap he
could get and tied the pieces together.
Again it was explained that using this
sort of twine might be offensive to the
customers, as it made the packages
look untidy by reason of too many
knots. SO he consulted with a sailor
Mt Richmond, who showed him how to
splice strings with q smooth joint
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces of twine of
the same size into a continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this he
was SO much pleased that he had all
twine saved and turned the task of
splicing it over to young Henry, with
the result that the young mans enthu-
Eiasm rapidly abated,
