A big bear was ambling across IN their
direction and apparently had not motto
ed them until the girl had screamed.
Mrs. Woodward caught up her rifle and
smiled at the evident fright Of her
friend. She had killed many bears and
knew that this one could not escape
her.
Just as she was on the point Of firing
she was SO startled by the appearance
Of another bear behind the first that
her shot failed to bring down bruin.
The animal. however, ran OF into the
woods and was afterward found wound
ed. To the terror Of Miss Williams, a
third bear followed the second, and
when still another came out into the
open Mrs. woodward cried for her
companion to use be-" gun. Two OF the
animals were full grown; the fourth
was quite small.
"Shoot, Ethel; shootv' screamed Mrs.
Woodward.
The first shot Of the wolf huntress,
or, rather, the first after her wild shot
at bruin No. /, went squarely through
the head Of the second bear. Mrs.
Woodward's gun was a seven shot, and
while Miss Williams was firing wildly
she 1red two shots into the largest Of
the two remaining bears. These shots
were unfortunate, however, and the
big animal was rushing across the open
toward them and was not fifty feet
away when shot from Miss Williams
ended the career of bruin No. 8.
Meanwhile the smaller bear seeming.
ly had been too astonished to move, but
now began to beat a hasty retreat.
Both of the young women began firing
at him, and before he reached the edge
Of the woods the animal was perforat'
ed several times. Hastily leaving three
dead bears, the huntresses hurried
through the woods and secured the, aid
Of DR.. Woodward and another man
The first bear which Mrs. Woodward
killed was one Of the largest ever shot
in Luce county, and beautiful rug
made from its skin will adorn Miss
Williams home in Sault Ste. Marie.

SAME OLD GAME.
Confidence Scheme Practiced in the
Same Old Way.

Peter Washington, q colored resident of
Germantown, Montgomery county, Md,
was in the city long enough Saturday to
get an expensive lesson In the ways OF
some of his colored city friends. He was
in the neighborhood of I4th and II streets
northwest during the afternoon when q
comfortably dressed coiored man accosted
him and asked him IL he would accept a
situation that would pay him $40 a week.
DO you think any man would refuse
such an offer as that asked the man from
Germantown. when he was certain that he
fully comprehended the full meaning or
the question. Ten dollars a week did you
Say?"
The stranger assured him that he meant
nothing less than that amount and WASH
ington promptly said he would. gladly ac-
cept the position. He was willing TO 90
almost any kind of work for such salary,
and the confidence man said he was only
too glad to find to willing a worker.
You are just the kind OF a man I've
been trying to find. and L know you Will
give the man satisfaction"
He then told Washington that a money
showing would be necessary In order for
him to convince his prospective employer
that he was a man of standing.
Just put the money in this envelope"
he said to Washington, and the latter put
in his spare cash, 81 40.
By changing envelopes and asking to be
excused for a few moments the swindier
got the money and disappeared. WASH
ington became tired of waiting for the
stranger to return, and when he opened
the envelope he found that IL contained "a
worthless substitute for his money
He stopped in the Baltimore G. Ohio

200 BODIES CREMATED
FURTHER DETAILS OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO HORROR.

In the Patrero district. south of Shannon
street, in the vicinity of the Union Iron
Works, 200 bodies were cremated Saturday
by order of Coroner Walsh
So many dead were found in this limited
area that cremation was deemed absolute
ly necessary to prevent disease. The names
of some of the dead were learned, but In
the majority of cases identification was I'M
possible, owing to the mutilation Of the
features.
A systematic search for bodies of the VIC
Tins of the earthquake and fire is being
made by the coroner and the state board
of health inspectors. The city has been d.
vided into sanitary districts, and squads of
searchers have been sent out to every quar-
ter. The ruins of the burned buildings in
the business and old residence. sections have
sufficiently cooled to make the search posi-
BILE.
The body of an infant was found in the
center of Union street. near Dupont, this
morning. There was nothing by which 1t
could be identified. IT was learned howev-
er, that number of people had camped at
this place. and It is presumed that the child
died and was left when the party was
forced to move.
Three bodies were found in the ruins of a
house on Harrison street. They had been
burned beyond all possibility of identifii-
cation. They were buried on the north
beach,
The body1pf a man was found in the mid
die II Silver street. A bit of burned envel-
ope was found In the pocket of the vest
bearing the name "a. Houston"
At noon yesterday reports were made by
deputies sent out by the board of health of
tho finding of twenty-three bodies in var1-
GUS parts of the city. Few of them could be
identified The bodies were buried in vari-
Gus places and the graves numbered.
The fire last night was confined to the
block on the water front, which will be de-
stroyed The wharves will probably be
saved. Despite the awful devastation yes
terday was a day Of comparative cheer.
NO one went hungry or thirtsy. Devotional
services were general in the camps Of the

from the recent disaster. Women driven
out of their homes and left destitute are re-
ported to have appealed to the men to

use Of wine instead of water in fighting the
fire. The only available water supply was
found In well dug In early days. At a
critical moment the pump suddenly sucked
dry, and the water in the well was ex-
hausted. Italian residents crashed in their
cellar doors with axes, and calling for as
sistance, began rolling out barrels Of red
wine. The cellars gave forth barrel after
barrel until there was fully 500 gallons
ready for use. Then barrel heads were
smashed in and the bucket brigade turned
from water to wine. Sacks were dipped in
the wine and used for beating out the fire.
Beds were stripped of their blankets and
these were soaked in the wine and hung
over the exposed portions of the cottages,
and men on the roofs drenched the shingles
and sides of the house with wine. The wine
won, and the plucky firefghters saved their

Little Expense-Much Beauty.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Perhaps in no other way would the
beauty OF the streets in some parts of our
city be enhanced by such little cost as by
good setting OF grass between the curb
stone and the sidewalk proper. The best
way by which to have this where the soil
is thin, may be filled ground or earth from
the excavations OF a cellar or ditch, Is to
remove few inches of the soil and re-
place It with fertile soil. II a quantity OF
bono meal or other fertilizer be mixed with
the soil all the better. BY this method
beautiful grass win grow in the vacant
spaces about our trees with very little care
or sprinkling Grass grown In fertile soil
does not require half as much water az
when grown where the roots md little

negie hero fund, had announced the APP
preparation of $4,000 for supplies for the
benefit of San Francisco people and that
Mr.. Phipps had been instructed to charter
steamer at Santa Barbara purchase the
supplies and land them in San Francisco
Tuesday, Mr.. Phipps said: This is posi-
lively the first that / have heard of this
matter. and, although / know the wires
are very cougeSted and might delay the
transmission of messages, I am inclined to
doubt the authenticity of the statement.
In the first place don't believe the hero
fund could be diverted for the purpose.
There are conditions by which the fund is
governed. and l really fail to see how 1t
could be touched for this case. In the
second place Mr.. Taylor has been in Santa
