Union Meeting Sunday Night at
Baptist Church.

The third in a series of union ser
vices Oh Sunday evenings was held
last evening by the congregational
and Baptist churches The pastor OF
the Congregational church, Rev Geo
S. Mills, preached an impressive ser
mon on the subject OF Excuses The
excuses which the preacher enumer-
ated as having been given to him at
various times in his ministry for not
becoming Christian and uniting
with a church were, Not good
enough" Do not feel moved to do So"
wound have to give up some things
don't care to-, The demands of char
acter are too high" Too many incon-
sistent christians
With characteristic fairness and
sympathy, Mr.. Mills analyzed these
excuses, contrasting however our mod
ern tendency to evasion with the Gag
er, straightforward spirit OF the Eth
iopian who having learned OF Jesus
Christ, exclaimed What doth hinder
me to be baptised."
The fourth meeting in this series
will be held next Sunday evening at
73O in the Congregational church and
Rev w +. Meyer will preach the SER
mon The attendance last evening
was about three hundred.

they turned and made at full speed
for home waters, and it was only af-
ter a stern chase that the faster
British ships got within range Of
them. For more than four hours the
running battle lasted, the firing being
plainly heard in North Holland, where
1t was Judged the fight took place
north of the islands of Ameland and
Schiermonnik-O
The Bluecher, which was slower
than the other German cruisers, fell
behind and succumbed to the heavier
guns of the Lion, which was leading
the British squadron. The other Ger
man ships got within the mine and
submarine area, two of them in a
badly damaged condition. and ii was
dangerous for the big British battls
cruisers to follow
The fact that only II men were
wounded aboard the Lion. which led
the line, indicates that the British
casualties were light. 1t is possible
that more of the Bluecher's crew
were picked up by the British des-
troyers.

FIRE EATERS.
The Trick Of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth.

Sparks From the Mouth
The first known lire breather was g
Syrian slave named Eunus. Il leader in
the Servile war in Sicily. 100 B. c. He
pretended to have immediate commu-
nicaton with the gods. When desirous
OF inspiring his followers with courage
he breathed flames and sparks from
ais mouth.
In order to accomplish this feat Eu-
nus pierced nutshell at both ends.
and. having filled it with some burn
ing substance, he put II in his mouth
and breathed through it. The same
trick is performed today in a more ap-
proved manner. The performer rolls
some fax or hemp into Il ball about
the size of walnut. which he lets
burn until 1t is nearly consumed Then
be rolls around il more flax while It is
is retained in the ball for long time.
He slips this bali into his mouth unper-
ceived and breathes through it, His
breath revives the fire. and he sus-
tains no injury SO long as he inhales
only through his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
TO account for other feats OF this sort
performed by the ancients. An old
ordeal was the holding of redhot iron

|DISCRIM|NA
| AGAINST KAISER
lDENIEOBy BRYAN
Secretary Says We Are Treating
All Nations Alike
ADMINISTRATIONS POSITION
1t Is Duty of Warning Governments
to Stop Contraband
Shipments.
ADMINISTRATIONS POSITION

Washington, Jan. 24-The Wilson
Administration through Secretary
Bryan has gone on record in a sweep
ing denial of charges that the United
States had been partial TO the allies
and unfriendly in its attitude toward
Germany and Austria during the pres
ent war in Europe. The Official repu-
diation Of these intimations took the
form of letter written by Mr.. Bryan
to Senator William j. Stone of Miss
ouri, Chairman on the Committee on
Foreign Relations. The letter was
written last Wednesday but was no,
made public until tonight, 1t was pre-
pared after several days of consulta-
ton between President Wilson Secre-
tary Bryan and Counselor Robert
Lansing of the State Department.
The letter is the most exhaustive
document that has come from the Adj
ministration since the outbreak OF the
war, dealing with any aspect of the
relations of this country toward that
conflict. The letter contains about
5000 words. It's length is due to the
fact that it is intended as a categoric-
al denial of the different charges that
have beess aaade and OF the arguments
current IN German circles accusing
the Administration of unfriendliness
to Germany and Austria-Hunsary.
Senator Stone was interested in
having these charges answered for
two reasons. First. there is a large
German population in ST Louis, the
chief city OF his state, and, second, be-
cause he is Chairman OF the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. Senator
Stone wrote his letter of inquiry on
Jan, s, saying that he had received
many letters from sympathizers with
Germany and Austria who belived the
United States government had been
showing partiality to England, France
and Russia
Secretary Bryan's letter concludes
with the following declaration on the
question of eXporta-
tion of war munitions,
IF any American citizens, partisans
of Germany and Austria-Hungary feel
that this administration is acting in
way injurious to the cause of those
countries. this feeling results from the
fact that on the high seas the German
and Austro-Hungarian naval power is
thus far inferior to the British. 1t :,
the business of beligerent operat-
ing on the high seas, not the duty of
a neutral, to prevent contrabrand
from reaching an enemy. Those in
this country who sympathize with
Germany and Austro-Hungary appear
to assume that some obligation rests
upon this government, in the perform
ance of its neutral duty, to prevent al,
trade in contrabrand, and thus to equ-
alize the difference due to the relative
naval strength of the belligerents. No
such obligation exists; it would be an
act, an act of partially on
the Part of this government to adopt
such policy, if the Executive had
the power to do SO"

THREE DEAD BEARS
AND ONE LIVE
HEDGEHOG
Aggregation Created Sensation at
the Firth Barber Shop
WERE CAPTURED IN WOODFORD
Mother Bruin and Two Yearling Cubs
Shot by Warwick S. carpen-
ter and Junior Hawks.

Warwick S. Carpenter and Junior
Hawks drove into the village Satur
day evening from Woodford with q
she bear and two yearling cubs which
they killed about three miles south
east of Woodford city. They also
had live hedgehog in a basket.
The two hunters went into camp at
Mr.. Carpenters summer home d.
Fence Corner early in the week.
Following the thaw on Tuesday they
went into the woods and from the
numerous tracks came to the conclus-
ion that the bears had not yet denned
up for the winter. Picking up an
old trail they followed the tracks to
the winter quarters of Mrs. Bruin and
her family under the roots of large
tree. The bear dog which Mr.. Car
penter secured some time ago from
Kentucky led the chase and was bay
ing at the foot OF the tree when the
hunters arrived.
While circling about the tree to
make sure that the quarry had not
left on the opposite side of the tree the
she bear put her head out of the open
ing and was promptly shot The two
cubs were secured shortly afterward

il was known that they were plan
ming u trip into the mountains and
where they had been subjected to
considerable joshing" IF you fell
lows get bear" remarked Mr. Firth,
you bring it right here. want to
see one
The hunters carried out Mr. Firths
request. Early in the evening, when
the Saturday night rush was at its
height, they drove up to the barber
shop with the three bears and the bas-
ket containing the live hedgehog. All
business was at once suspended. The
lathered patrons in the four chairs
and the men in the waiting list gath
cred together TO witness the unusual
sight and the crowd was increased
by large numbers that flocked into the
shop from the street
The hedgehog, which was tethered
in the rear of the shop, attracted
even more attention than the bears
which were placed in the show win
dow fronting on Main street.
The she bear ii is estimated, would
weigh in the vicinity of $50 pounds.
The cubs are good sized youngsters
probably close to two years old.
During the past two years, Mr..
Carpenter, who passes a large portion
of the year at his summer home east
Of Woodford city, has been endeavor-
ing to trail and shoot bear. Bears
are caught in traps in the mountains
east of Bennington every year, but IL
is only on rare occasions that hunt
er succeeds in trailing bear to its
den. Mr. Carpenter has imported
and tried dogs from celebrated ken
hels in Kentucky and has put in con
siderable time on the mountains.
That he has at last been successful is
creditable to his perseverance. He has
fairly turned the tables on his friends,
some of whom have been inclined to
ridicule his efforts in the bear-hunt-
ing line.
