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.” WOMAN PLEADS FOR HER PARDON Accomiianled by her father, two grown daughters and three small chil dren, Mrs. Minnie Uumsey, of Toccoo, Stephens county, appeared before the WITH NEW DOGS PRESIDENT’S PARTY RENEWSTHE CHASE Continue Pursuit of a Big Bear Which Made Escape.

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.
