BERGMAN, BEAR Man
Popular CartOOniSt to Join
Staff of Evening Star.
FAMOUS FOR HIS PICTURES
Succeeded the Late George y. Coffin
and Developed Rapidly The
20 Creute It-LfttIe Animal Became
the Rage the Country over.

Mr.. Clifford K. Bergman, the we'll
known cartoonist, will join the staff Of
the Washington Evening Star the first Of
the coming month Mr.. Felix Mahoney,
whom he succeeds, will take a vacation
for some months. and then devote his
time and talents to other lines of art
work
Mt Bergman became the cartoonist OF
the Washington Post some years ago on
the death of George Y. Coffin who was
widely famed for his pictures, and be de-
yeloped rapidly Re is a Kentuckian by
birth. and came 10 Washington some
.wenty years ago to take "a departmental
position, the protege Of Senator Black
burn.
known TO Public Men
No other cartoonist is known personally
/ by so many public men. and his long resi-
dence here has given him "A grasp Of af-
fairs that can be had nowhere else. He
excels in mis- free-hand Hkenesses OF
statesmen, and his humor uniformly is of
the sort that leaves no sting. His local
acquaintance is large.
The Roosevelt bear was a Bergman
creation He used the little animal for
I the first time during the Presidents bear
hunt in Mississippi four or five years ago,
ana continued thereafter to identify the
/ bpar with Nj Roosevelt and the White
/ House. Other artists took Up the B0ose-
/ Welt bear in course Of time, and popular
/ lied il the country over. II became a
craze. which ultimately spread abroad.
/ What the President said
/ Meeting the cartoonist recently at a So
/ cial function, the President said % him:
/ ''Mr Bergman that little bear Of yours
4 has put the doll baby out Of business. %
1 And so it has, and Bergman is not in
frequently designated the bear man"
/ Miniature bears-eomical little fellows
/ have had a tremendous sale. This has
/ meant a fortune for the manufacturers
and dealers-all due to the newspaper
/ creation from Berryman's pencil Bear
/ books have also been the fad. The car

The Eve of the Crook

Now you may or may not know 1t, but the confidence man of tip-top at tainments cultivates the control and cX- pression of his features with as much care as does the professional beauty this for the reason that his looks are the most valuable assets For the first stage in turning trick, " this be done in a Broadway hotel or downtown office building, is for the operator to get hold on the confidence of his victim by impressing him with his, the former s, frankness and honesty through the medium of his steady gaze, cheery smile, and sincerity of expression in general. But "wise' v people are not taken in by these things. Apart from all else, those who have had much to do with criminals-whether
 mugged or unmugged-will tell you that there is such thing as the "crook eye," which invariably gives it's owner away. It is, as l once heard a clever detective put it, "an eye behind the eye "a something sinister peeping out
 from the bland and child-like gaze which the "con' turns on his pros pective gull.-Success.

TEMPORARY PESSIM|ST
 IS HEMEEWAY
Thinks Hard Times for Several Months, But Bright Future
 in Store,

J. c. Hemenway, of Duluth, was among arrivals in the city last eyen- ing en route to Cananea- MT. Hemen- way is interested in properties in that district and will spend several weeks there. Regarding the present outlook for copper properties under develop ment. MT. Hemenway Is inclined to pessimism. which he states rules in the lake copper country, people there being inclined to belief that there are some months of dull times ahead, and that meanwhile investors will find it hard to believe that they can put their money to advantage in new proper ties; while dividend payers are offer ing the advantageous opportunities for the investment of money which they at this time afford.
 Regarding the general outlook of the southwest for the future, the r;Situr states that there is large confidence in the east, and expresses the belief that just as soon as things gst around tn a readjustment CT the basis af de- yelopment and expansion which every. body feels to be justified there will be an enormous Outpouring of money to this section for the development which is felt to be warranted.

NACO ROAD STANDS
 THE RACKET WELL

The recent hard storms suffered by Bisbee and locality have had one ef- feet which is certainly gratifying. This is found in the splendid manner in which the road to Naco has stood mp under the heavy washing which 1t has had to undergo.
 That slag makes a permanent and excellent road, practically impervious to weather, there can be no longer doubt. The Naco road has suffered practically none from washing and is in as excellent shape now as at any time since made. In fact, 1t appears to be better, the rains having oper- ated to improve and pack the high way
 The rains of the last week are said by cattlemen to have been of more general character, and to have ac- complished greater good, than any previous showers of the season. Pre- vious to this time the rains which have been had have been largely local and have not accomplished the gener- al good that has been supposed. The recent rains went far to correct the situation, but there is still a good deal more general precipitation need ed before the grass situation will be all that the cattlemen would like. Rains so far have made much in the line of weeds, but has not been suf- ficient to bring out the grass as it should come.

WiLDAND WOOLLY YARN OF A
 HOLD-UP
Somebody Starts Rumor That Gang Is Around Ready for
 Business of Fierce Nature, But Nothing to It,

Somebody started the report around town last night that there was a bold, bad gang of hold-up men staked out within the city limits and that before morning there would be things doing with red ligSt trimmings and arma- Hent on the side sufficient to float several squadIons.
 Search for q sufficient foundation upon which to build a small part of the expectations which kept bar-keep- CTS with an anxious eye on the door ways failed to bring about anything tangible. Somebody had heard about 1t and that was all there was to be ascertained. Who the somebody was has not yet developed, nor is 1t likely to. The gentleman is probably well in the hay
 Since the well remembered raid of couple years ago, when hoidup men who were later captured. kept things active in the outlying districts of the city for several months, Bisbee has not been afflicted with anything Of the kind or. is it going to come up agan.
 An excellent force of officers has af- fairs well in hand in the city now and if held-up men get in it will be 8 risk that will hardly be worth taking.

2ND ROUND NOW
 DRAWING ID 4 CLOSE
PattiSon Loses to Francis, and ZeiSmer Is Defeated by Neylan After One of Hard est Games in Tournament.

Only one more game remains to be played in the second round of the Elks' pool tournament, and then the drawing for the third round of the contest will be made. In last even ing's games Pattison was defeated by Francis, while Zeislher was eliminated by Neylan, after one of the closest games in the contest. O'Brien and Branson play the last game of the second round this evening.
 The first game was a surprise, as far as the score was concerned, as it was thought that Pattison would play Francis very much closer game, Both of the men had handicaps of ten points, and the betting, based on past performance, was even. In the first few frames Francis secured a lead of eight points. which his opponents over took little later. However, shortly after the forty mark was turned Fran cis piled up lead of fifteen and from that time on the game was no longer in doubt, as his opponent became nerv- oUs, and joined the aero-navigating association organized in the early part of the tournament by R. A. Kirk and Dr. E. F. Godfrey. The final score stood 100 to 65.
 The second game between Zeismer and Neylan was principally notable for the number of scratches made, the former having eight to his discredit and the latter fourteen. The betting was even, and the result of the game showed that this basis was justified Zeismer secured the first lead, which his opponent overcame shortly after wards, but which was attained again before the fifty mark was reached. From this time on the score was very close at all stages, Neylan being slightly in the rear owing to the scratches. Finally the score stood even, each player needing ten points. and right at this juncture both play CTS took to the balloons, Neylan, how ever, landed first, and before Zeismer had recovered secured enough to put him out, the final score being 100 to 92.
 O'Brien and Branson, the former with a handicap of ten points, and the latter fifteen, will play the last game of the second round this evening. after which the referee will draw the names for the semi-finals.

DRILL FOR
 coctisE MINE.

Lem Shattuck is expected back in the city within the next few days, when it is understood that contract will probably be let for one or more drill holes on the Cochise property.
 The opinion given by we'll known mining man last night with regard to this work carries much encourage ment. In his belief the fault whicll is acknowledged to cut off the ore bear. ing zone on the upper levels will be cut by the diamond drill work and ore brought in at greater depth than has yet been gone to in the camp. It may be necessary to penetrate from 1900 to 2000 feet on the Cochise, but there will be ore with the making of sufficient depth. Such outcome would mean immense things for the district. the. extent to which the latter will run with big profit attendant on the proving up of Cochise ground being inestimable.

It is understood from personal statement from President Hoffman, of this company to the Review, sew eral weeks ago, that as soon as the site for the new Greene smelter is chosen definitely the DemocraJa VIII find ground in the immediate vicinity fer the erection of a plant which will lIe adequate to its requirements.
