ATLANTA CHURCHES
L BE UNITED
Report of Congregational-
ists Welcomed in Local
Churches.
The report that the Congregational
church. the Protestant Methodist
church and the United Brethren church
aro about to be consolidated Is good
news to the congregations of those de
nominations In Atlanta. The union,
which has been recommended by the
committee of twenty-eight of the Con
gregational conference In Cleveland.
Ohio, Wednesday, will affect about son
church members and six churches In
Atlanta, all of whom aro eager, It Is
understood, to unite.
For some time there have been four
Congregational churches, the Central,
Marietta street, Berean and Immanuel,
and recently the congregation of the
United Brethren decided to enter the
Congregational church under the name
of the People's Tabernacle.
The one Protestant Methodist church,
Mitchells Temple, wtU therefore he the
only one In which the change will be n
radical ono. However, l| Is probable
that the name of the new church will he
“The United Churches.”
"There Is pructlenlly no difference In
the doctrines of the three churches.”
said Rev, J. N. Ewing, pastor of the
Berean Congregational church. Thurs
day morning, "and very little difference
In the church government. The United
Brethren have bishops, which may
prove n stumbling block In the way of
union, but that will probably be over
come.
“In fact, the only church of the
throe denominations In the United
States which has objected to the con
solidation Is the Plymouth Congrega
tional church. In Brooklyn, which may
decline to enter on the ground that
thoy do not wish to lose their Identity
with the pilgrim fathers.”

WITH NEW DOGS
PRESIDENT’S PARTY
RENEWSTHE CHASE
Continue Pursuit of a Big
Bear Which Made
Escape.
Stamboul, La., Oct. 17.—With the re
inforcement of the pack of bear dogs,
brought here from Newellton, La., yea-
terday, following th* chaae of th* big
hear, which made his escape by swim
ming ths lake, the president la confi
dent that he will be successful In get
ting a shot at a specimen of the bruin
family today.
If President Roosevelt had been sta
tioned a few hundred feet farther south
than he woe he would possibly have
rocured the bear he came to the cane-
rakes to slay.
There was much dissatisfaction with
the dogs on hand. The new pack con
sisted of seven veteran bear trailers,
from the kennel of the Osborne broth- 1
ers. Immediately upon the arrival of
the animals here, In charge of John
Osborne and J. A. Vases, they were
dispatched to the front by Mr. Shields.
Mr. Osborne brought with him a fine
piece of hear meat and bear skin taken |
from a 500-pound animal killed Tues
day. They were both presented to the
president. Four dogs, unattended,
struck a hot rati about 4 o'clock, and
within a trice they were almost on the
animal. He was aroused while feeding,
nnd with a snort darted off In the di
rection opposite from that which the
trailers came, which chanced to be'
away from the presidential rifle. Thick
as was the jungle, bruin made through
It and eaally .kept out of touch of the
dogs. Arriving at the water's edge,
he plunged In nnd was well away from
shore when the dogs arrived on the
scene. Some of the hunters came up
a short time afterwards, but too late
to get a shot.
