Householders in the neighborhood ef Eighteenth street and Grand ave ue were awakened at an early hour yesterday morning by the presence of a bear. At least they think it was a bear. Along in the middle of the night iome of the little dogs, in the neigh borhood began to bark, and a few moments later could be heard the heavy movements of some marauder in the bushes up the side of the hill. By this time one or more of the women, more timid than the men, who refused to get up to see what the matter was, had arisen and were peek ing out of their windows. Dimly a Kg, black shadowy thing could be seen moving about among the bushes. It was a bear, sure enough, they thought. There are lots of berries growing in hat vicinity and it is probable bruin w there in search of the luscious fruit There was a ludicrous incident to the matter, too, for as the bear tried to climb up a steep place the listeners heard a scrambe and a scratching and then what newspaper reporters used to describe as a "dull sickening thud." The bear apparent ly had taken a tumble. After thoroughly frightening the residents there the midnight visitor departed. That the visitor was a bear is very probable. A black bear was seen ewer near Young's river a week ago, and it is also said that another one was seen on Fifteenth street a few days ago. COMFORT FOR THE FAT IN , HOT WEATHER Don't simply shed all your cloth ing. That is not the secret. It isn't your textile coverings that make life so wretched for you, my stout friends, tut the flshly covering the fat. You can be comfortable, though . fet, in the hot weather, by reducing the fat with a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime of the following: I ounce Marmola, i ounce Fluid Ex tract Cascara Aromatic and 3$ ounces Sirup Simplex. This is a harmless Imme mixture that anv drueeist will put up for a small sum, but is suc ceeds marvelously. Try it and in a Ettle while you should be losing a lalf to a pound of fat a day. You will soon catch up with comfort at that rate no matter how hot it gets. Al luring, isn't it? And when 'you real ize that this inexpensive sane method takes the fat off and gives you a trim, slim figure without causing wrinkles or interfering with one's diet it be comes more than alluring it's fas cinating. Fat folks say so. SOCIALISTS RETURN HOME. Walling and His Wife Here After Three Years Abroad. NEW YORK, August 1.

MADE NO EARNINGS Pacific Maii;Steamship Company Says It Lost Money THEY WANT TO CUT RATES I Statement, However,' May be Issued at This Time For Its Presumed Effect in the Question of Rates to Japan and Orient. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug l.-Ac cording to the annual report of the! Pacilic Mail Steamship Company just published, the receipts of the com pany for the last fiscal year were $428,817 less than its expenditures for the same period. Local business men interested in the trans-Pacitic trade view this statement with alarm owing to the ruling of the interstate com merce commission requiring the rail roads to make public their rates on transcontinental freight inbound from the Orient. The Santa Fe and Southern Pacilic railroads have begun the printing of their rates as ordered and will have them ready to go in force Nov. 1, Officials of the road explain. that these rates will make the charge of hauling j (roods consigned to the Orient the same for the trip to the coast as that on goods consigned to Pacific coast points. Goods inbound from the Or ient, however, will go east from the coast at a lower rate than that paid by domestic shippers using the rail Yoads only as there can be no ques- j tion of discrimination of rates raised. Railroad officials state that with these rates published the steamship companies will have a smaller percen-i tage than ever of the total hauling charge on freight from the Orient to the east and say that the existence of the steamship companies is threaten ed. Steamship ompany officials say that in order to hold the Asiatic trade they must have the power to work with the railroads in cutting rates. Without this, and with the railroads taking a fixed charge on all freight from the Orient they declare that they cannot meet the competition of foreign steamers. WON'T INSURE ADS. Lloyd's Agency Turns Down Request on Directoire Gowns. NEW YORK, August 1. Evident ly the British business man, as view ed by members of the London Lloyds does not believe that the "Sheath Gown" is destined to become popular in the United States. At any rate the members of the famous London Insurance Company refused to issue a policy for $10,000 on a con signment of "sheath" gowns recently imported from Paris by a local de partment storo. The uptown merchants, feeling somewhat skeptical as to just how well the latest Paris custom would take with New York women, askdd an insurance broker, to obtain a pol icy insuring the sale of the gowns, in other words to insure the popularity of the "Sheath" gown. The Britisher knew that the Lon don Lloyds were willing to write a policy on anything, from presidential elections to the safeguarding of an automobile race course, or the fluc tuations of the stock market, and promptly applied for a policy on the sheath gowns. To his surprise, how ever, he was, to use his own words, "turned down cold." He applied to several other companies with the same results. BIDS FOR COLLIERS.

ARE STUDYING MONEY.

As a result it has become known in Wall street that Senator Aldrich, who is at the head of the commission, has come to hold the opinion that the up shot of the commission studies will be not to promulgate a new money t measure entirely but simply to make additions and improvements to the! present so-called Aldnch-vreeland law. In banking circles the news of this opinion of Senator Aldrich has been received with great interest for it is recognized that, as head of the com mission and sponsor for the currency j bill adopted in the closing hours of j Congress, his words will have great ! weight.
