PRESERVING Grants Banner.

In order that it may be preserved
for future generations, flag which
waved above General Grants head
quarters during the latter part of the
Civil war is being rejuvenated in the
same manner as was the original
"star-spangled banner year and a
half ago. When Lee surrendered, the
flag was presented by General Grant
to one of his staff officers. Some years
ago it became the property of the
state of Massachusetts, and, while re-
posing in the statehouse, gradually
fell into a bad condition. This caused
it to- be turned over to an eastern
woman, who has gained a reputation
as a restorer of old flags. The repair
ing process is described in the April
Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t con-
sists in backing the banner with Irish
linen of a certain weave. Special
stitches employed to haste it to the
reinforcement give the flag a honey
combed appearance when closely ex-
amined. The thread used in doing
this work is dyed to match the faded
colors of the banner.

POLAR BEAR ON A STROLL
Animals Exploration Trip Occasioned
Some Excitement in the ZOO"
at Scotch Capital.

A polar bear at the Edinburgh
(Scotland) ZOO caused some excite
ment and CONSERVATION among the Wis
itors in the course of an unofficial tour
of a portion Of the grounds, mad
vertently the water encircling the
rocky mound where the bears live
was allowed to rise beyond the normal
level One of the animals swan across
and managed to Chamber to the top
of the outer wall, which rises sheer
from the surface of the pond, and or.
dinarily is too high above the water
to be scaled. Pacing leisurely down
the adjoining avenue, the bear met q
message boy wheeling lemonade bot.
ties on a barrow. The boy put down
the barrow and fed. The bear cur
iously examined the unfamiliar object
to his path. After shifting around for
some time, he playfully put out his
paw and pushed the barrow over.
Many of the bottles were broken, and
flooded the roadway. Finding the
liquor unattractive, he proceeded to
the penguins' enclosure, and amid the
excited protests or these droll Arctic
birds leisurely strolled through their
compound. Next he plunged into the
offers pool and enjoyed swim. The
next call was at the bisons' enclosure.
Here his reception was hostile. Three
of these formidable animals charged
down upon him, and he was glad to
beat a retreat. Half-stunned, he man
aged to scramble through the palisade
into safety. BY this time the grounds
had been practically cleared of Wis.
itors, most of whom sought refuge
in the central buildings. The keepers
now appeared, and attempted to herd
the bear back to his own quarters.
Gun-firing accelerated his retreat, and
without great difficulty he was in.
duced to return to his accustomed
place of confinement.

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 30.---That no
real estate depression will be caused
in Norfolk BY the closing of the
saloons is the consensus of opinion
among the leading real estate and
rental agents of the city. Most OF
them believe that while In certain
quarters there may be slight cheap
ening of rents: this condition will be
only temporary, and the few store
rooms vacant for a time will not
materially affect values.
Most Of the stores now occupied
by saloons have already been spoken
for by merchants In other lines of
business. Inasmuch as the saloon
business has been regarded for some
time as more or less temporary, the
real estate men believe that the cub
stitution of more stable and perma-
nent lines in the present saloon Local
tons will eventually result in an i'm
provement of the rental values OF
these properties
