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."

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.
