WITH NEW DOGS
PRESIDENT’S PARTY
Continue Pursuit of a Big
Bear Which Made
Escape.
The report that the Congregational
church, tho Protestant Methodist
church and the United Brethren church
arc about to be consolidated Is good
news to the congregations of those de
nominations In Atlanta. The union,
which ha* been recommended by the
committee of twenty-eight of the Con
gregational conference In Cleveland.
Ohio, Wednesday, will nlTect about 800
church members and.six churches In
Atlanta, all of whom are eager, It la
understood, to unite.
For some time there have been four
Congregational churches, the Centrnl,
Marietta Street. Berenn nnd Immanuel,
and recently the congregation of the
United Brethren decided to enter Ihe
Congregational church under tho name
of the People's Tabernacle.
The one Protestant Methodist church,
Mitchells Temple, will therefore be the
only one In which the change will bo a
radical one. However, it Is probable
that the name of the new church will be
"The United Churches."
"There Is practically nn difference In
Ihe doctrines of the three churches,"
said Rev. J. N. Ewing, poalor of the
Berenn Congregational church. Thurs-
day morning, "and very little difference
In the church government. The United
Brethren have bishops, which may
prove a stumbling block In tho way of
union, but that will probably bo over
come.
"In fart, the only church of the
three deiiomluntlona In Ihe United
States which lias objected to tho con
solidation Is the Plymouth Congrega
tional church. In Brooklyn, which may
decline to enter on the ground that
'hey do not wish to lose their Identity
tth the pilgrim fathers."

Btamboul, La., Oct. 17.—With the re
inforcement of the pack of bear dogs,
brought here from Newellton, La., y.s-
terday, following the cluue of the big
bear, which made hie escape by awlm-
mlng the lake, the president la confi
dent that he will be euccetsful In get
ting a ahot at a specimen of the bruin
family today.
If President Roosevelt had been ata-
tloned a few hundred feet farther aouth
than he was ha would poaslbly have
irocured the bear he came to the cane-
rakes to slay.
There waa much dissatisfaction with
the dogs on hand. The new pack con
sisted of seven veteran bear trailers
from the kennel of the Osborne broth
ers. Immediately upon the arrival of
the gnlmals here, in charge of John
Osborne and J. A. Vasee, they were
dispatched to the front by Mr. Shields.
Mr. Osborne brought with him a line |
piece of bear meat and bear skin taken
from a 600-pound animal killed Tuea- j
day. They were both presented to the
president. Four dogs, unattended,
struck a hot rail about 4 o’clock, and
within a trice they were almost on the
animal. He waa aroused while feeding,
and 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, brfiin made through
It and easily kept out of touch of the
dogs. Arriving at the water's edgs,
he plunged In and waa well away from
shore when the dogs arrived on the
scene. Some of the hunters came up
n short time afterwards, but too lata
to get a ahot.
