Grizzly BEARS AND pANrAERs.
Afraid of Man, Says Wyoming Hunt
err; Dangerous Only When At
tackled.

''In the mountains of Wyoming,
where l have hunted for years, you
can find most any kind of savage ami
NAL that you get in America except
alligators. Grizzlies, black bears and
mountain lions are commonly killed
there" says Hugh Snierly, of Sheri-
dan, Wyo. Some of the men that
come out there to hunt think that II
they stir 100 yards away from camp
they must be armed to the teeth for
fear of being attacked by bear or
panther and killed. There is a heap
more danger of getting killed on ac-
count of leaving your gun at home
when you go down Market street.
Some one might shoot you on the
street in a big city, but it is dead sure
that a bear or mountain lion will
never attack you unless you drive
him to it.
"I've hunted through the best dis
tricts for big game in this country,
and I've seen a good many grizzlies,
but I've never seen one of them go
after a man unless he was cornered
or wounded. If you run into grizzly
bear in a lonely place you'll hear a
grunt, something like tnat Of man.
moth hog, and then there will be a
mighty crashing Of underbrush as ne
makes off in the opposite direction
as fast as he can go. All you can
generally see of a mountain lion is a
tawny streak as he makes off at in
credible speed. If he has any in
tention of going after you it must be
his intention to go around the world
and catch you in the rear, for if you
are standing to the east of him he Is
sure to go due west.
Mountain lions in the winter time
will follow sleighs at a distance,
wailing as they go, but there is
nothing in that to inspire terror, for
| don't think they have ever been
known to close in on anybody. Their
terror Of human beings is the thing
which makes them hard to shoot. In
all the time that I have been in the
mountains I have never heard of any
one being attacked by wild animal
that had been left strictly alone. But
I've known men to be killed even by
deer when the brute was driven to
desperation.
"Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. When you once get their dan
ger up they are savage fighters, and
the hunters life is in danger every
minute unless he is a good shot and
has a steady nerve. If you ever get
within reach of the grizzly's paw you
are a dead one. These stories Of
men killing them with knives in hand
to hand fights are about as reasonable
as it would be to talk of stopping a
locomotive by getting in the way Of
the train. If the big fellow gets the
chance to deliver one blow it is all
over. There was a grizzly up our
way that the cowboys called Big
Ben who killed about one hundred
and fifty steers before he was finally
shot. He would break a steers neck
at one blow and then he would lift
him UP and carry him off to a Sc
cluded place. Grizzlies look awk-
ward, but they are mighty light on
their feet, and they can beat any man
in a foot race "-Louisvill Herald.

SEX AND AGE IN THE CENSUS OF
1900.
More Men Than Women in the United
States, but the Women Live
Longer.

Men are in the majority in the
United States to the extent of 216 IN
each 10000 of the population, accord
ing to a bulletin issued by the Cen
sus sBureau. In 1890 the excess Of
males was 242. The divisions of con-
tinental United States with the small
est proportion of males are the Dis
trict Of Columbia GAIA per cent?,
Massachusetts (28.7 per cent?, and
Rhode Island (49.1 per cent?; those
with the largest are Wyoming (629)
per cent?, and Montana (61.6 per
cent?. A curious divergence of sexes
appears in the returns for city and
country districts. In the cities hav-
ing a population of $500 or more IN
1890 there were 1929 more males
than females; in 1900 this proportion
had been reversed and the females in
cities of this size were 201 1853 in ex-
cess. AS against this change the ex-
cess of 1,519,559 males in country dis
1,840,2S0 in 1900. Among the negroes
there are few more females than
males, among the Indians few more
males than females. About five
ninths of the immigrants are males.
The excess of males in the total
population is offset to some extent
by the longer age of FEMALES. In the
period from 83 years of age to the
end of life of males, and also in the
period from 16 to 20, although the
census experts ascribe the latter SUI
periority of talsifi9d returns rather
than to an absolute majority. The
death rate of males in the registra-
ton area in 1900 was 10 per thousand
and that of females was 1876. TIE
difference in the death rate is least
between the ages of 5 and IA and
greatest at the extremes Of life,
There is a period between the ages
CT and Il when the death rate Of
females is in excess of that Cf males.
In spite of 1.-THE fact that four-ffths
of the childbirths occur between the
ages of 20 and 80, the death rate of
women at that time is smaller than
that of men In 1900 the median age,
the age which exactly divides the
total population, was 22.85 years, an
increase of nearly Z years in the last
century. The productive age group
in the United States, that part Of the
population between 1G and 60, COM
prises nearly three-ffths of the popu-
lation, a larger proportion than is to
be found in most European countries.

NEGRO UNDER SUSPICION

Greensboro, May 14.-(Special,) Mrs.
Emmaline Potter, an aged lady living
alone in Greensboro. was cruelty choked
and beaten into insensibility by some
friend Friday night. The brute gained
an entrance through door that had been
left open by Mrs. Potter for fresh air,
her intention being to close it before re-
firing. Unfortunately she fell asleep be-
fore locking the door and was only
awakened by some ones fingers closing
around her throat. After thus maltreat-
ing her and evidently believing her dead
the assailant left the house.
Mrs Potter later on regained conscious
ness and got up and locked the door,
\ hen the brute came back and attempted
to force his way in. Mrs. Potter, too
frightened to stay in the house, fled
through the back door and taking refuge
in an clubhouse renamed there the rest
of the night When daylight came she
gained courage to crawl back to the
house, where she was found by a neigh
Dor who had gone to take her breakfast
to her.
Assistance was at once summoned and
every possible effort made TO md the per-
petrator of so dastardy a deed. His only
motive seems to have been revenge, no
attempt being made at rape or robbery.
The authorities have their eye on
negro who is strongly suspected and his
arrest will probably follow in a few days.
Mrs. Potter still bears the marks of the
brutes fingers ON her throat and her
eyes are fearfully injured. The citizens
of Greensboro are incensed over the
