BEAR FRIGHTENS A
NEIGHBORHOOD
ft ONE ACTUALLY SAW
BUT HOUSEHOLDERS
IT.
AT
EIGHTEENTH AND GRAND
WERE BADLY SCARED.
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.

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.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l.-Ten-ders
of three colliers have been invi
ted by the navy department from the
various"1 shipbuilding companies of
the country. The tenders made in
June were unsatisfactory to the de
partment. Not only in price but in ,speed, ca
pacity and equipment, and a speed of
12 knots an hour and a dead weight
carrying capacity of 7,200 tons will be
required. The machinery must be lo
cated in the after part of the vessel,
so that the coaling of ships at sea may
he made easier.
pedo. boat destroyers are also 'to be
opeend.

GHOST IS A JOKE.
Haunted House In Chicago Still At-1
tracts Big Crowds.
CHICAGO. Aug. l.-Thc "Haunted
House" at 181 West Twenty Third St.
continued to attract crowds yesterday.
Last night more than .1,000 men, wo
men and children waited in front of
the place. It was necessary to have
25 policemen to keep traffic open. The
fire hose was used again and the'
stream of water drove the crowd
away. '
Ten men and boys were arrested
during the evening on charges of dis
orderly conduct. Although the po
lice say they have solved the mys
tery and proved that the "Ghost" was
the work of a practical jnker. 1 Mrs.
William Bachcldor still insists that
her home is haunted and that she will
not live in the place again.
ARE STUDYING MONEY.
NEW YORK, A'ug. l.-The Times
this morning says: For several days
members of the National Monetary
commission appointed at the last ses
sion of Congress to devise plans for
currency legislation and composed of
nine senators and nine congressmen,
have been in this city making prepar
ations for their trips to Europe to
study foreign banking conditions and
to confer with bankers here. 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.

ditions; Tlicy will receive a' purse of
