PET BEAR HAS GOLD TOOTH.
He Was Operated on Recently and
Is Now Enjoying Life
Again.

New York World.
Pete, the ycarmd-a-half-old
black bear, owned by William b. Tut
tie, druggist, Of Stafford, is now
wearing a gold crown on the tearing |
tooth Of the left side Of his lower
Jaw.
The bear began ailing about a
month ago. He lost his appetite,
which had been the wonder of the
citizens Of Stafford ever since he
came from Florida where Trapper
Austin captured him and sent his to

,quently strokcd the side of his Jaw.
His owner made an examination md
found that " tooth was dccayed.
Mr.. Tuttle was advised by a vet
erinary surgeon to have the incisor
extracted, but he declared it must be
saved and sent for dentist. Pete
was strapped on a table made like
big trough and gagged. Then the
tooth was treated preparatory to
killing the nerve and an impression
was taken from which to make a
gold cap.
In about week the BEARS tooth
was in condition to have the crown
set. He was strapped on the table
gagged and the cap affixed. But in re-
moving the gag the rubber covering
came off, the crown was knocked
loose and fell into the BEARS throat
AS he was still lying on his back h'
gulped down the gold cap.
Mr.. Tuttle sent for bottle of ipe
cac and gave Pete big dose. In
few minutes the gold crown was re
covered, but operations for the da
were suspended.
The bear was again strapped to th
operating table and the crown fast
ened on his tooth. He was kept 0
his back until the gold cap had 81
curely set. Pete now is cheerful an
his appetite has returned.

Several men administered restora-

able to tell that he had been out to
Highland Lake where he had seen Il
dcvclfish.
The devil fish appeared to him, he
said, while he was taking swig of

saw the monster that he dropped this

The fish, O'Oonncll said, had an
ugly red head and was able to stand
! on its tail in the water. While in that
position it opened its jaws and Kissed
like a rattlesnakc. The last he saw
of it was speeding across the lake
leaving Il blood-rcd track on the sur
face Of the water.
After OTonnell had ended his tale
his friends brought him more resto
ratives and elected him president OF

You make a fair statement, and cor
roborate my statement in the Monday
paper. Probably not one in 100000 Of our
population is burning kerosene now who
! burned It forty years ago, as did, and
hence do not know the facts as I stated
them.
If there IS tendency" as you claim,
for the trusts TO increase prices, how is
it that oil, sugar matches. &c, have
continually gone lower? Your statement

That's just what any one would do-you

GOTHAM,s FEELINGS HURT.
Postmaster Resents InsInuation that
IL Is Rural village.


The postal officials in New York are
understood to be highly indignant over
a communication recently forwarded to
the postmaster in that city by Terence
V. Powderly. Chief OF the Division of
Information. Bureau OF immigration and
Naturalization. In his efforts 10 collect
information for use by the government
in diyerting or properly distributing inn
migration. Chief PowdeTly sent a series
Of circulars 10 the postmasters Of tho
country.
The one sent to the New York post
master asked a number of questions. as
follows
rs your city in need Of immigrants?
What is the yearly rental for small.
Improved farms In your vicinity? What
are the chief articles Of production;
average yield per acre. and usual
average price per bushel of each? Is
irrigation necessary. and. if so, under
what conditions and circumstances is
the water supplied therefor? Are set
tiers on land needed? What are tho
prices Of ordinary farm stock, sound.
and IN good condition.
Are single men or heads OF families
preferred? State location OF salable or
rentable lands, and accessibility 70 rail
or water facilities for transportation.
The postmaster at New York evidently
did not relish having that community
looked upon as farming country. and re-
turned Chief POwderly's circular to him
without comment

IMITATION JEWELRY.
What solid Gold Is in Meaning of
the Law,

/ The term solid gold" has been the
cause of much discussion on the part Of
manufacturers of gold articles. and Of
much misrepresentation on the part Of the
public for some time past. and the recent
| law. fixing the commercial definition OF
the phrase is welcomed on all sides.
According to this law. says the St
/ Louis Globe-Democrat, 10 carat gold is
the commercial solid gold. and all ar
ticles containing more alloy than this. or
all articles with parts which contain
more alloy. are henceforth TO be known
as plated, filled, OF rolled gold. and must
be SO marked by the manufacturers. For
example, pin with top OF solid" gold.
even to the value Of Is carats. cannot.
legally, be called solid # hinge. hook. or
pin is not 10 carat gold; while another
pin Of 10 carats throughout. though Of
much less intrinsic value than that of Is
carats. is legally solid gold" This law
was made 10 protect the manufacturing
| jewelers. against the makers and sellers
of 'phony' jewelry. and has been heartily
indorsed by the legitimate trade all over
! the United States
~ - q az " HlAlIl We nave lung need
ed" said a st. Louis wholesale ieweIer.
/ but solid gold is'a misnomer, and I for
one should be very glad 10 see the term
abandoned and the value stamp used in
its place. Commercially speaking there
never was such a thing as solid gold
at least not for the last 200 or 800 years.
Some Of the ancient jewelry OF the Ro-
man and the renaissance periods was
made Of pure gold. worked up BY hand
with the crudest tools and that is. of
course, of far greater value on account
Of the purity of the material, as well as
its quaint and beautiful workmanship and
its antiquity than any modern products
Of the goldsmith's S art.
But alloy has been used to a con-
stantly increasing extent since. because
jewellers found that the harder the gold
was rendered by good alloy the greater
its wearing qualities and the more secure
therefore the setting Of the gemspit con-
tanned Our jewelry now is Of IS Il. or
10 carats, according TO the design and
character Of the article. and it is much
