Polar Bear Of Berine Sea

Observations made throughout a
number Of years by officers of the
United States revenue marine prove
that the polar bears limit of range is
st. Matthew Island in Boring sea. A
few OF these bears were at one time
seen near the seal islands, being adrift
upon a huge ice foe. On st. Matthew
Island the bears have lairs and dens
among the rocky glens that abound
upon the island. There, it is gener-
born. though the natives living in the
vicinity of Point Belcher aver that in
December. when the sun disappears
entirely, the females make a snow
house out upon the ice and there give
birth to their young. There is no evil
dence Of the truth of this statement,
as it IL a rare thing to obtain the skin
of female bear which has been
killed during the winter. They feed
almost entirely upon seals. walruses,
and dead-drift whales. and, though
disdaining to devour blubber. the
flesh is greedi1y consumed. A car
cass upon which q bear has passed his
gastronomic judgment reveals the skin
and its fatty lining torn asunder. the
flesh being cut into strips and shreda
by the powerful claws and teeth. A
single blow of q bears paw upon q
seals head suffices to kill 1t, and.

soon dispatched.
.aThe largest white bear ever saw .

shot in November. 1885, about $50
miles northeast OF Point Barrow. 1t
measured IL feet inches from tip Of
tail to nose, 6 feet 3 inches girth, Is

Mime. Lauth. the granddaughter Of

ground that q play OF his was an out

Musset wrote his Confessions dun

Bank to Give Employees
Pensions and Insurance

NEW YORK, March 1S.-One of the
furthest reaching plans of pension
and insurance payments to employees
is that adopted by the National Bank
OF Commerce, details of which were
learned yesterday. The bank will
bear the entire expense. officers and
clerical employees go on the pension
list when sixty-five years old. The
annual rate is then two per cent. of
the aggregate salary received while
in the continuous service of the bank,
the maximum amount, however, not
to exceed $4,000.
Insurance is provided for the
officers and clerical employees to the
amount of one years salary at the
time of the death of the insured, in
no case to exceed $4,000 One of the
most attractive features of the plan
is the disability insurance for the
officers and clerical staff. This pro-
vides eighty per cent. of the annual
salary of the disabled at the time of
disability during the first year of
disability, and thereafter sixty per.
cent of such salary for life or as long
as disability continues. The bank
pays the full amount of the first
months salary after disability, the
insurance to begin payments there
after.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Attorney-
General McReynolds, having consid-
cred the evidence gathered by the
federal grand jury in it's investigation
of the Allied Printing Trades Council,
of New York, has advised United
States Attorney III. Snowden Mar

in the complaint on which the gov
eminent can proceed against the
council for violation of the Sherman
law.
Mr.. Marshall, with the approval of
the attorney general, discussed the
matter Yesterday with Abram 7.
Ell1us. attorney for the union inter
ests. Mr.. Elkus promised that he
would advise his clients to abandon
the alleged boycotting practise to
which the department of justice takes
exception.
II the union men take this advice
there probably will be no dissolution
suit. The attorney general has left
future action entirely to the discretion
of Mr.. Marshall. In any event the
government will not proceed against
the council on criminal lines.

U. S. Express Shareholders
Asked to Approve Liquidation

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Pursuant
to its plan of liquidation which 1t de-
cided to adopt last week, the stock
holders committee of the United
States Express Company is sending
TO It's shareholders two circulars. One
asks the shareholders to approve the
decision to dissolve the company. The
other sets forth the causes leading up
to such a decision.
The committee, of which Charles A.
Peabody. president Of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, is chairman,
says that the business of the COM
pany is being conducted at small
but increasing loss, and to continue
under such conditions would produce
deficits which could only be paid out
of accumulated surplus.
