A MUTUAL SURPRISE.


The Meeting Between an Ambitious
hunter and His First Grizzly.
In Sketches Of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert s. Evans tells
an amusing anectiote of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
lin procession. The Incident occurred
in the woods near the site Of the pres
emit town OF Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest In the
shade OF q tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke It was near
sunset. and he sat up. rubbing his
eyes and contemplating return to his
hotel. several miles distant.
Just then q rustling and cracking
noise from a clump Of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his atten-
ton. Out walked a grizzly bear. Z
monarch of his kind. He yawned.
licked his jaws and then advanced to.
ward the tree where our hunter sat.
but evidently was unconscious Of his
presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about twenty PAGES when q female
bear followed him. and an instant later
a third grizzly followed her at q slow.
stumbling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
TOR as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
thirty yards. Then. scarcely realizing
what he did. he sprang to his feet
and uttered a frenzied yell-yell upon
yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air. turned
sharply about. knocked the female
down. rolled over her. gathered him
self up a1i bolted like forty cart loads
Of rock going down a chute" straight
for the chaparral again. the other two
bears close at his heels and never
turning to see what had frightened
them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating. sprang to his feet and hed
at top speed for the hotel. leaving hat
and gun behind. The truth Of his Wild
and startling tale was proved the next
day by the numerous bear tracks Of
different sizes found In the marshy
ground near by. But the three bears
had gone or beyond pursuit

Pouring were both at the hotel when

a warrant from Cincinnati and sub
sequently returned to the police OF
that city, was tried in the Cincinnati
police court on a charge OF cutting

ian with intent to kill. proved he
was not the man who did the cutting.
However, the defendant was then

HIS BLUFF EXPIRES
Robert. TolIey After Dodging
For Some Time, Must
Go to Prison.
RELATIVES DENIED HIM

Robert R. Tolley. the shrewd young
man who avoided punishment for the
crime of grand larceny in this city
fell hard after his stumble at Con-
nersville. He was arrested at Rush
vile after passing worthless check
at Connersville. Saturday he was sem
fenced to Jacksonville after he had
plead guilty to the charge OF uttering
spurious check. Friends and rela-
tives who have saved him in several
similar instances before refused to in
tervene again and he will be taken to
prison this week.
In this city Tolley stole about $50
from Manager Happy of the Singer
Sewing Machine company. He made
his getaway to Indianapolis and was
arrested and returned to Richmond.
The young man aroused sympathy and
upon the plea of poor health the
authorities permitted him to go on his
own recognizance He claimed he was
afflicted mentally.

Mrs. Betsy Ross Was The Woman
Who Made First American Flag

that the six-pointed star would be
easier to make, but she demonstrated
that her favorite was as easy to cut by
folding a piece OF paper and cutting
out five-pointed star with single
clip Of her scissors.
Authorities do not agree as to
whether the flag was used between
then and the time when congress
adopted it. but most of them think 1t
wat not. At any rate, it was not used
as the Official emblem of the United
States.
Mrs. Ross succeeded SO well in the
making OF flags that she was engaged
in this work for a number OF years,
and was succeeded by her daughters,
who carried on the work until fifty
years ago. One OF these daughters.
Mrs. Clarissa Wilson, being a Quaker,
finally stopped making government
flags because of her religious opposi-
ton to war, but continued to make
flags for commercial use until 1857.
The first flag was made OF English
bunting exactly the same as those OF
today, excepting that our bunting Is
Of home manufacture. There seems to
be no question but that these colors,
the stars and stripes. were unofficially
adopted Immediately after the COM
pletion of the first flag the latter part
OF May, 1776, and that they went into
general use at once. so far as prac-
ticable, under the conditions then ex-
isting. Gen. Washington possessed
the first flag created at this time. but
not until Saturday, June Ia, 1777, did
congress finally, officially, adopt the
flag.

The first nag OF the United States Of
America was made by Mrs. Betsy
Ross. a charming young Philadelphia
woman, noted for her expert needle
work. The flag was made by her un-
der the personal direction OF Gen.
George Washington.
Washington well knew the expert
character OF Mrs, Ross needlework,
as she had embroidered his shirt ruff
fes. Consequently when he, Robert
Morris and Col. George Ross, q men,
Der OF congress, cast about for some
one to make the first flag, in the sum-
mer of 1776, shortly before the declar-
alton OF independence. Washington led
them to the home Of Mrs. Ross on
Arch street When asked IL she could
make flag from the design which
Gen. Washington presented to her-a
rough pencil sketch, she said:
II don't know, but I'll try"
She tried, and her work was SO sue
cessful that the continental congress,
when 1t finally acted about year
lates. June II, 1777, saw the flag she
had made and adopted a resolution by
which it became the national emblem.
Made Stars Flve-polnted.
It was through Mrs. Ross that the
stars OF the banner were made with
five points in the place Of six, as the
Washington design had suggested to
her. Washington, because his family
emblems bore five-pointed stars, had
suggested six-pointed ones that he
might not seem to desire to have his
family star adopted for the flag. Mrs.
Ross insisted that the fve-pointed star
was prettier. Washington suggested

STOPPED THE NOISE.
A Chemists Suggestion to . Maker Of
Prussian Blue.

A Chemists Suggestion to Maker Of
Prussian Blue.
The great German chemist, Liebig,
related that when he was a young
man a manufacturer of prussian blue
who was showing him through the
works drew his attention to the deaf
ening noise made by certain commi-
nuting and mixing machines. These
machines consisted OF large iron NOR
tars in which iron peetles were actu-
ated by machinery. The pestles pound
ed the materials to q fine condition
and mixed them. On Liebig's suggest
ing that some means ought to be de-
vised to prevent the terrible din made
by the machines the manufacturer
told him that 1t was a singular fact
that the more noise the pestles made
the better was the blue produced. 1t
happens that in making prussian blue
iron Is a necessary constituent Of the
mixture. fact that did not seem to be
thoroughly appreciated by the manu-
facturer. He was therefore much sur
iron which was necessary to produce
the color was rubbed or his machin-
cry, the most extravagant way to sup
ply 1t. He understood for the first
time. moreover. why it was that the
greater the noise from tho friction of
the pestles in the mortars the better
the blue produced. He thus learned in
an expensive way that it was better
manufacturing to put iron into the
mixture than to grind 1t on high priced
machinery.-Frederic ]. Maywald In

WAS
GOOD GUAROSMAN
Not One Federal Prisoner
Made an Escape.

Postmaster ]. A. Spekenhier return
ed home Saturday night from Ft.
Leavenworth, Kansas, where he &C
companied federal prisoners as depu-
ty United States marshall. Mr.. Spek-
enhier was gone three days. This is
his first experience as a guardsman,
but judging from reports he had either
the best of success or good luck, as
none of the prisoners whom he was
detailed to watch escaped from the
party. Mr.. Spekenhier has genial
smile which invites friendship and no
doubt the prisoners preferred his
company to being fugitives. Howev-
er there is another and equally good
argument why none escaped. He was
heavily armed with a riot gun, rifle,
six-shooter and bowie knife.

To Improve fliaht.

During a big Presbyterian conven-
ton in 1865 a rhetorical Scotchman
from Ohio got the floor. His speech
was replete with mingled humor and
sarcasm. In the course Of 1t, says the
Rev. Galusha Anderson in q book en-
titled "a Border City During the Civil
War;" he made this remark about hts
own eloquence:
THE speech of the brother from this
city brought to my mind an experience
of my school days. l wrote an ora
ton and handed 1t to my teacher.
when he had examined it he called
me to him and said:

few feathers from the wings Of your

Meeting Called to Decide
On the Pending Tariff
Measure.
SOME WANT TO KILL IT
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING,
WHICH WILL be HELD THIS
AFTERNOON, ls TO sTiFFEN
epINEs OF THE REBELS.

Washington, D. c., June 14.-There
has been revival OF the insurgent
movement among the Republicans OF
tho house Of representatives and a con-
ference has been called for this after
noon to consider what attitude they
shall assume towards the pending tar
III bill.
Leaders in the movement for con-
terence are Representatives Murdoch,
Of Kansas, and Nomis of Nebraska.
Some OF the dissatisfied element want
to vote against the bill on its final
passage.
At this time the principal concern OF
the house insurgents appears to be to
make such q showing of disapproval
as will stiffen the spines Of the sena-
tors who have been opposing Senator
Aldrich's program.
Likely to Recommend OH Duty.
The senate committee on finance In
all probab ility will recommend that
duty be imposed upon crude and ref1n-
ed petroleum and the products Of Pc
troleum. in spite OF the action OF the
house in putting these articles on the
free list.
This subject was discussed at a meet
ing Of the Republican members OF the
committee Sunday. The oil question
will not be disposed Of finally, but the
indications are that crude oil will be
made dutiable at a quarter OF cent
Q gallon, and that on refined petroleum
q rate OF rs per cent. ad valorem, will
be fixed. 1t is probable that the lat
ter rate will be made to apply to pro-,
ducts of petroleum.
Many members OF the senate favor
ed the countervailing duty on petrole-
UNI, but the representatives of oil pro-
ducing states did not favor it. The
demands for protection upon oil comes
principally from the independent oil
men.
Favor Reduction on Soft Coal.
The coal question was under consdd-
eratfon but was not disposed OF. The
sentiment OF the committee il in favor
OF reducing the rate on bituminOus
coal from 81 cents to so CENTS ton.
According to views expressed In the
committee, representatives Of the larg-
ct fields agree that the so cent rate
will AFFORD ample protection to Ameri-
can COAL
The protection asked by American
lithographers against the importation
OF cheap view cards from Germany will
be recommended. On Photographic
post cards, Autographed In one color,
. rate Of Is cents pound, and Is per
cent, ad valorem will be recommended.
This is large increase over the exist
Ing rate.
Additional protection will be recon-
mended on cigar labels, decalcomanias,
and other articles connected with the
industry.

A local liveryman has large gray
horse that Chief Miller would like to
have for the fire department. He

animal one of the chemical wagon
team. The team now in use has not
shown the mettle expected of it. The
horse wanted has been given a. trial
and found suited to the work. He is
full of life and ginger and at the same
time strong.
