WANT BEEF, NOT BEAR MEAT
California Man Offers Flesh to the
Public With Very Indifferent
Success

Sacramento.-Near Bonner station,
in the Sierras, bears are making their
appearance in numbers. Hungry after
their winters Information. they are
coming out in the open in search of
food, only to fall victims to the guns
Of hunters.
A. w. Lorraine, a resident Of that
section. killed last week and shipped
to this city a 150-pound bear to sell in
the local markets, with the statement
that if there was any demand for this
kind of meat he would no doubt be
able to make frequent shipments, as
the bears seemed to be very plentiful
this year.
Despite the fact that the animal had
been an occupant Of its winters den
for several months, its flesh was in
fairly good condition, but the general
public did not seem to take kindly to
it, and there is little likelihood that
bear meat will become a part Of the
usual diet of northern California.

TALKS ON DECAY OF MANNERS
Lord Rosebery Addresses Boys of the
Royal Grammar School at

London.-"The Decay of Manners"
was the subject of an address by Lord
Rosebery to the boys of the Royal
Grammar school at Guildford
Lord Rosebery, who presented
prizes to the boys. referred to a school
statute framed 800 years ago, that
Courtesy and good manners are to
be established by all good means. "
and proceeded:
The men of the seventeenth cen
fury, | suspect. the gentlest-bred Eng
lshman ever produced, partly because
they possessed good manners them
selves, and partly because they realiz-
ed the enormous Importance of
courtesy and manners in the common
transactions of life
Now, we English people, and am
afraid. still more we Scotch people,
are never famous for good manners
| think at one time there was a sort
of John Bull feeling in England that
good manners were a device for the
dancing, frog-eating Frenchman, whom
whom it was our duty to despise
I think there has been a decay of
manners in England, Scotland and all
of the world. Good appearance and
good manners have an enormous COM
mercial value in life sometimes Won

than on these occasions Good appear

consciousness is the most dis
agreeable feature perhaps of all in ap-
pearance-is within the command of

conclusion OF the written narrative
which the Persian left behind him
Notwithstanding the horrors OF !
situation which seemed definitely 10
abandon them TO their deaths, n. de
Chagny and his companion were saved
/ by the sublime devotion OF Christine
Daae. And | had the rest OF the story
from the lips OF the daroga himself
When | went to see him, he was
still living in his little fat in the
| Rue de Rivoli, opposite the Tu1leries.
He was very Ill, and it required all
my ardOr as an historian pledged 20
the truth to persuade him to live the
incredible tragedy over again for my
benefit. His faithful old servant Da-
| RUS showed me in to him. The daroga
received me at window overlooking
the garden of the TuiIeries. He still
had his magnificent eyes, but his poor
face looked very worn. He had shaved
the whole of his head, which was
usually covered with an astrakhan
cap; he was dressed in a long, plain
coat and amused himself by uncon-
sciously twisting his thumbs inside
the sleeves; but his mind was quite
| clear. and he told me his story with
perfect lucidity.
1t seems that, when he opened his
eyes, the daroga found himself lying
on bed. NJ. de Chagny was on
sofa, beside the wardrobe. An angel
and a devil were watching over them.
AfTn- ha 1nnnn+inro ciO
Of the torture-chamber, the precision
OF the details OF that quiet little mid

Invented for the express purpose OF
puzzling the mind Of the mortal rash

the chest of drawers, those brasses,
the little square antimacassars care
fully placed on the backs of the chairs,
the clock on the mantelpiece and the
Misunderstanding ebony caskets at
either end, lastly, the Whatnot filled
with shells, with red pin-cushions,
with mOther-of-pearl boats and an
enormous ostrich-egg, the whole dis
creetly lighted by a shaded lamp
standing on a small round table: this
collection Of ugly, peaceable, reason
able furniture, at the bottom of the
opera cellars, bewildered the magma
ton more than all the late fantastic
happenings.
And the figure of the masked man
seemed all the more formidable in
this old-fashioned, neat and trim lit
tie frame 1t bent down over the Per
sian and said, in his ear:
Are you better, daroga?
You are looking at my furniture?
It is all that l have left OF
my poor unhappy mother"
Christine Daae did not say a word;
she moved about noiselessly, like
sister of charity, who had taken
VOW of silence. She brought cup OF
cordial, or OF hot tea, he did not re-
member which The man in the mask
took it from her hands and gave 1t to
the Persian. NJ. de Chagny was still
sleeping.
Erik poured a drop of rum into the
daroga's cup and, pointing to the Wis
count, said:
He came to himself long before
we knew ii you were still alive,
daroga. He is quite well He is
asleep. We must not wake him."
