FOR THE
NOTED BEAR HUNTER

John Ratliff, usually called
John the Bear Hunter, is known
throughout the interior of Alaska,
but very few of even his most
intimate acquaintance know that
he is a veteran of the civil war.
He is not only an old soldier,
however, but vas twice wounded
and remained in the service until
after the threatened trouble over
the Macmillan episode in Mexico
had passed.
John is now 20 years old and
has never applied for a pension.
Among his friends is Judge
Wickersham, who prevailed on
the old soldier to apply for the
aid to which he is so justly enti-
tied. Judge Wickersham will see
that the case is promptly at
tended to.
John is at present in Fair
banks, but will soon return to his
former home on Sullivan creek.
He says he will try to take life a
little easier in future.

Buffalo. March lS-"The almost unanimous SEN
timent from Democrats I have met is that a new
man should lead in the next contest. Mr.. Bryan
must recognize the soundness OF this view" This
utterance by Governor Hoke Smith Of Georgia at
the Grover Cleveland birthday dinner given by the
Democratic Society OF Western New York here to-
night was greeted with applause Governor Smith
spoke on national issues and throughout his ad-
dress made plea for adherence TO the Democratic
principles of Seymour, Tilden and Cleveland. He
paid tribute to Cleveland. to whom ne referred
as "a rugged honest and capable old fashioned
Democrat without frills.'

problems declared Governor Smith. were nullifed
by succeeding Republican administrations

he said. who can hope for an intelligent read

bill is to be based upon the doctrine of max

THE LEXINGTON AVENUE ROUTE.
The Broadway-Lexington avenuee subway
route as adopted by the Public Service Com
mission In December. 1907. runs from the Bat

Broadway TO 9th street. thence under private
property and streets to Irving Place. thence up

but the efforts 10 secure the consents OF the
owners representing one-hah Of the value OF

favorable decision on December II. 1905.
The engineering department of the commits
