BACK FROM GREENLAND.

Explorer Peary and Party Enthusiastically
Received.
Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-The steamer
Kite, with Lieut.. Peary's exploring
party on board, arrived here this noon.
All the way up the river from tho
breakwater the vessel was greeted by
the steam whistles and bells on all the
craft, and an anxious crowd assembled
at the dock.
Among the first to board the vessel
was Miss VerhOeff, sister of John M
Verhoeff, who failed to return With
the party, and who is thought to have
fallen into a creyice. His relatives
discredit the theory that he was killed
and several of them firmly believe
he is exploring the interior of Green
land, having voluntarily remained be-
hind. Members of the exploring party
however, do not share this belief. The
story about differences between Yer
hoef and Peary are denied by the lat
ter.
Lieutenant Peary, the explorer, and
Prof. Angelo Heilprin, commander Of
the relief party, both express satisfac-
ton with the results which have been
achieved, saying that both expeditions
were eminently successful.

Boundc Over for Trial.

ALBANY, Sept. 24.-Labor Commits
sloner Charles +. Peek and his stcnog-
rapher, Rogers, appeared in the Court
of Sessions at II o'clock this morning
in answer TO bench warrants. The
sealed indictments in possession of the

of the world of civilization should
commend the project to governmental
approval and endorsement.
Our countrymen not only expect
from those who represent them in pub
lie places sedulous care for things di-
rectly and palpably related to their
material interests, but also fully appre-
ciate the value of intoxicating our ma
tiOnal pride and maintaining our nj
tional honor. Both their material in
terests and national pride and honor
are involved in the success of the Col
umbian exposition and they will not
be inclined to condone any neglect
or effort on the part of the government
to insure in grandeur this event fit
ing exhibit of American growth and
greatness and splendid demonstration
of American patriotism.
I'm an imperfect manner l have en-
deavored to state some things which ac-
cord with the creed and intentions of
the party to which 1 have given life
long allegiance. My attempt has not
been to instruct my countrymen nor
the party, but to remind both that
democratic doctrine lies near the prin-
clpleS of our government and tends to
promote the peoples good. l am will
ing to be accused of addressing my
countrymen upon trite topics and in Il
homely fashion, for / believe impor-
tant truths are found on the surface
of thought and should be stated in
direct and simple terms. Though much
is left unwritten, my record as Il pub
lie servant leaves no excuse for mis-
understanding my belief and position
on the questions now presented to the
voters for decision. Called for the
third time to represent the party by
choice in the contest for supremacy Of
democratic principles, my grateful ap-
probation of it's confidence less than
ever effaces the solemn sense of my re-
sponsibility. If the action of the con-
vention is endorsed by the suffrages
of my countrymen, l will assume the
duties of the great office, knowing full
well it's labors and perplexities and
with a humble reliance upon that
Divine Being, infinite in power, to aid
and be constant in watchful care over
our favored nation"

Money for strikers.

HOMESTEAD, Sept. 24.-The locked
out men to-day received their first
benefits from the Amalgamated asso-
citation. Nearly $4,000 was sent to
Homestead to be paid to the men, and
it is sta tel that fully one-half of this
amour was given to members of the
mechanical departments who struck out
of sympathy with the locked-out men.
The arrival of the money which is the
first substantial evidence of a support
from the amalgamated association has
a very cheering effect upon the men.
While this is payday for the amalga-
mated members it is also payday at
the mill and about 500, 900 is being dis
tributed amongst the non-uniohists.
This is within 10000 of the amount
paid before, when the mill was run
ming in full.

visions, leaving only enough to enable
the crew to get home.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Post in an
editorial this morning protests against
what it says is the apparent intention
of Lord Rosebery, secretary for for
eign affairs, to abandon Uganda.
The Times, commenting on the same
matter, says that the failure of the
East Africa company will be a disgrace
to England and that to avert it tho
government is responsible. At tho
same time the government can choose
its own course of procedure without
regard to the company's peculiar in
terests. Therefore the Times advises
the company to strain every nerve to
save the cabinet the necessity of
arriving at any decision in the matter.

Easy Cure of Whooping Cough.

A medical man at the city of AK

suffering from whooping cough. One
day the son told him that at school the
teacher of chemistry had evaporated
some naphthaGne and that the fumes
had Immediately suppressed the irrita-
ton of the throat that would have
made him cough. In order to remove
the fumes window had been opened,
after which the whooping cough had
come on again. The doctor evaporated
naphthaline by the bedside of the boy,
who felt much relieved and went to
sleep. The next morning the cough
was much better. The same was
done again on the night following, aft
er which the patient was entirely
cured of his cough. Then the doctor
himself was afflicted with whooping
cough. He tried the same means and
was cured on the third day. He then
proceeded to employ the remedy and
had great success. At a boarding
house thirty persons were seized with
whooping cough and had the naphtha-
line vapors applied. 1t cured all ex-
cept two nuns, who could not stand
the vapor, as they were afflicted with
tuberculosis. Place fifteen to twenty
grains in an earthenware mortar and
place on red hot coal, heating it slow
ly. Remain in the room filled with
smoke for about twenty minutes. AL
though it GEMS suffocating, it is con-
sidered altogether innocuous.

Encouragement for a Tramp.

Kite-shaped tracks are all the rage
nowadays, and, not to be behind the
times, the Santa Fe road has built an
immense one on this model, taking in
the principal towns in San Bernardino,
Los Angeles, and Orange counties.
Starting at San Bernardino, for eX-
ample, one may take train and ride
for several hours, never passing
through the same town twice, and yet
at the end of the trip he will be just
where he started from.
A tramp who was not familiar with
this unique bit of railroading, and
who had been passing some time amid
the orange groves of the lovely San
Bernardino Valley, decided it was
time to seek fresh fields, so with a
party of friends he went to the Santa
Fe station in the city just mentioned,
and, finding train there on the point
of starting out, he babe his comrades
long farewell, agreed to meet them
somewhere in New Mexico within a
couple of months, and as the train
moved swung himself in on brake
beam and was soon flying through the
country. The train made many halts,
but none long enough to allow the inn
pecunious traveller an opportunity to
get out and stretch himself.
Finally, however, a place of large
size was approached, and when the
train stopped it was evident that 8
long halt was to be made. The tramp
concluded it must be a division head
quarters, so he sneaked out from un-
der the car, Strengthened up and then
looked about him to see what sort of 8
place ne had struck anyhow. There
was familiar air to his surroundings
and, looking at the signboard on the
station, he was paralyned to see the
name "San Bernardino." He had put
in the best part of a day riding ove1
