PLAN TO PENSION MINISTER'S
OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH

Episcopalians of Florida are much
interested in a campaign to raise
100000 for the church pension
fund OF the Episcopal church, plan
ned recently at a meeting of sixteen
Episcopal churchmen of great promi-
hence in the financial world. The
meeting was held in the library Of j..
p. Morgan, at 33 East Thirty-sixth
street, New York city, and an appeal
was issued calling on every parish in
the United States to assist in the
raising of the fund. 1t is hoped that
the fund will be complete by July
of this year.
At the meeting Mr.. Morgan, Will
fam H. Truesdale, president of the
Lackawanna Railroad, and Bishop
William Lawrence were elected as a
national committee to have general
supervision of the raising of the
huge sum. The following were desig-
mated at New York city COMMITTEES
to take charge of the efforts 20 raise
a large part of the fund in that city:
William Fellowes Morgan, presi-
dent of the Merchants Association;
R. Fulton Cutting, stephen Baker.
Alvin Krech, president of the Equit-
able Trust Company; Newcomb Carl
ton, president of the Western Union /;
Edmund L Baylies, Alonzo Potter,
George c. Post, Jr.; Frederick p.
Delafeld. Henry S. Thompson, Will
liam c. Breed, Samuel Thorne, Jr.,
and John 7. Pratt.
Bishop Lawrence will take up a
residence in New York until the
fund is raised. and will also serve
on the New York city committee. His
home is in Boston. Mass.
The bishop attended the meeting
and afterward expressed confidence
that with the support that the cam
pai2n had started with the amount
would certainly be raised by the
designated date. He said that he
would devote his entire time to con.
Gncting the campaign here. Will
liam Fellowes Morgan will be the
chairman of the local committee.
Endorsed in Florida

tain to take two young bears to
New Orleans and sell them that the
Judge became the bear tanner. The
bears were young and playful and
were allowed the run of the vessel
under the watchful eye of the crew
and they became SO tame that they
would box and play games with the
cabin boy and when the boat cast
anchor in the port of New Orleans
it naturally fell to the lot of Per-
kins to take the bears and see if he
could sell them. He started out
with the bears on rope and with a
gang of boys following what they
supposed was Dago bear tanner; he
travelled several miles to likely
places to sell the bears but with no
success. Finally. man told him of
saloon keeper on the far side of
the city who might be interested in
bears and Perkins started out on
the long trip across the city to the
address. Arriving at the saloon
with the constantly increasing crowd
of boys following him he made
known his errand to the proprietor,
who stated in decided manner
that he wanted no bears. Perkins
was equally determined that he
would not take those bears back
over the same route to the boat
again with all the humiliating ex-
periences of the bear tanner and in
sisted that the proprietor of the
place buy the bears at any price.
He plead so insistently that the
man finally asked him where he OBJ
tanned the idea that he wanted
bears and Judge Perkins gave him
the name of the party who had sent
him there. The proprietor then ex-
planned that Perkins was probably
the innocent party to joke as
about a month previous to that he
owned a pet bear that had caused
him untold annoyance. He was at
that time being sued by the city on
account of the bear running out in
the street and attacking one of the
fire horses and killing it and had al
so attacked several citizens and the
thousand dollars in all. He had
not only had the bear killed but he
was in a frame of mind that made
) him feel like killing anyone who
| even mentioned bear to him. He
: took pity on the boy with the two
r bears. however, and stayed his hand
4 which was all that saved Perkin.
r from being killed.
v OF course there was nothing fo
him to do except to take the tw,
t bears and wend his way to the shil
i with the urchins following and max
j ing funny remarks about him an
r the bears all along the two mil
8 walk. When he arrived at the shi
n he was ready to throw the bear
I. into the gulf but luckily there wa
d a man at the wharf who bought tn
d bears and gave him fifteen dollar
d for the two which was about eight
s dollars less than the owner eX
pected for them.
t And Judge Perkins will always re

i two bears through the heart G

 from a comfortable home in Wisconsin to the bleak stretches of the tundra around Point Barrow, the northernmost point in the United States, two white Scotch collies left here on the coast guard cutter Bear. in charge of Capt. e S Cochran, and will be used in the north to herd reindeer. These arc the first dogs ever sent from the states for reindeer herding so far north. although around Nome and St. Lawrence island there are several collies used In caring for the government herds. From this time until nearly August the puppies will be at home on thc Bear and in the meantime will travel for thousands of miles over the Pacific and Boring sea, visiting both American and Siberian coasts. They were purchased in the east by N. c.

According to the Weekly Alaskan, of Anchorage. Wickersham has been nominated for delegate by the "progres- sive democrats" at convention held at Valdez on April l5. The Alaskan has the following to say concerning this rather unexpected and somewhat mysti- flying event:
 The progressive democrats held their convention In Valdez on April i5. and 1t was a party success from every standpoint, and many delegates were present from the various precincts.
 The meeting was a most enthusiastic one and every delegate warmed up to the nomination of Wickersham for dele gate and cobb for territorial attorney, and that was the final outcome of the proceedings. Resolutions were adopted and a platform formulated that met the approval of the convention. and one that cannot help but meet the wishes of the voters at the coming election. That the delegate was popular with the various representations was proven from the start as no other name was put be. fore the body for consideration.
 John H. Cobb. of Juneau, received the unanimous support of the convention fnr rft al doubt of his success at the election next fall.
 Verify there is always something do. Ing in the lives of famous men.
