PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.It is learned
that John yerhoeff, the botanist, of the
Peary expedition who never returned
from his botanizing expeditions, was
last seen alive by Langdon Gibson on
Aug. 13, while the latter was encamped
at the head of Mccormack bay. YER
hoef told Gibson he was going to take a
trip to Keokern and mi ght not be back
for two or three days. As he had not
returned Gibson reported the facts.
whereupon Peary and number of
Esquimaux made a search for seven
days and nights, but nothing but the
missing mans footprints and a pile
OF stones were found, whereupon
the search was abandoned, as Verhoef
mad taken only five days provisions and
was thinly clad. Verhoeff's actions
from the time the party reached Green
land are described as peculiar and as
pointing to al intention to live with the
Esquimaux. He wore the scantiest
clothes with the thermometer register
ing 40 deg. below zero, and yet he was
not cold. 1t is believed by some that he
may have taken a notion to stay with
the Esquimaux in hopes Of making q
journey to u point further north than
any yet discovered and so win fame.

Wisconsin Catholics Object to the Use of
Certain Works in schools.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 26.-Roman Cath
olics in Milwaukee are considerably
stirred over one or two text books used
in the public schools. This weeks Issue
OF The Catl,piic Citizen contains the fol-
lowing: rs Is stated that a luridly
bigoted work on pedagogy is used in the
state normal school. Compayre, a French
atheist, Is the author, and it is especially
severe on the Jesuits." The. book in
question is Gabriel Compayre's History
of Pedagogy" The work is translated
by Professor Payne, of the University
OF Michigan, md is highly regarded by
teachers. Milwaukee teachers say that
they never regarded the book as bigoted.
The fight against this book will
probably be carried on in connection
with the attack that is being made on
Swintons Outlines of the Worlds His
tory This was commenced few DAYS
ago.and was started by the Columbia, a
Roman Catholic paper of this city. The
book has been in use in the schools for
IL years and was recently superseded by
Myers history. This was objected to
on the ground that in its account of
the indulgences by Leo x. in the
Sixteenth century it did great wrong
TO the Roman Catholics. BY comparison
it was then discovered that Swinton's
history made fully as unqualified state
ments. The matter was taken up by
Vicar General Zeininger and will result
in hot fight.

dispatch to a morning paper says:
Grand Master Workman Powderly,
aroused by the statement that the demo
cratic national committee was distribut-
ing as q campaign document part of his
article on Labor and Protection" in the
North American Review, has come out
with letter in which he emphatically
denies any championship of the Demo-
cratic party, which he denounces as the
foe OF labor, and incidentally pays his
respects to Chairman Harrity and Gov.
Pattison.
Mr.. Powderly denounces Harrity as
defeating the will of the people Of Penn
syivania by opposing the constitutional
convention. 1T was Mr.. Harrity," he
says, 'who framed that part of the
Democratic platform Of 1891 which side
tracked constitutional convention for
everything except change in the ballot
numbering clause"
MIR. Powderly continues: Had that
constitutional convention been held the
people OF this state would have been in
position to dethrone the imperial
Reading combine, which dictates against
organizations of workmen and organizes
an insurance scheme for the purpose
OF robbing its employees. 1t de-
pr1ves them of their rights as
American citizens. 1t is an enemy to
American labor, and on top of all of
them it is supported and upheld by the
chairman OF, the Democratic national
committee, who now attempts to make
use OF my words to help the cause that
ne is interested in and which he would
nave people believe to be friendly to
American labor. In my North Ameri-
can Review articles have not discussed
the merits of protection, one phase of it
