Good Detective Work.

The police were informed last night
that gold watch had been sold at a
shop on Fore street at ridiculously
low price. Deputy McCallum acted
quickly and in 20 minutes Officer Smith
had arrested VIM. Huckins and young
man named Driscoll. On the way to the
station, Driscoll wrenched himself loose
from the officers grasp and escaped.
Huckins admitted selling the watch. He
said the watch was given to him in Lew
iston by Driscoll, who said he had
''swiped'5 it and told him to sell it,
Thereupon Mr.. McCallum telephoned
Lewiston and learned that burglary had
been committed there, this watch being
taken from the owners clothing. Both
Huckins and Driscoll are Reform School
graduates.

One of the curious facts about honey
and it's consumption was found out years
ago by the old commission firm of John
& Henry Dennis of this city. Thousands
of acres in California are planted with
the proper food for bees and tens of
thousands of pounds produced, and the
products sold at atexceedingly low figures
Apart from it's use by few manufacture
ers of cough medicine, almost the entire
consumption is confined to the Jewish
people, wherever scattered, the average
American not caring for it.

A TALK WITH PEARY.
The Explorer Contradicts Some Stories
About the Missing verhoeff.

PHILADELPHIA, September 28.-Lieut.
Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, has
been interviewed concerning the numer-
GUS stories that have been circulated
concerning the mysterious disappearance
of John Verhoeff, the mineralogist of
the expedition.
When questioned las to the truth of
these publications Lieut. Peary replied:
Permit me to say the statement that I
treated Miss Verhoeff unkindly, that Mr..
Verhoeff contributed $4,000 toward the
expenses of the Greenland expedition on
condition that he should accompany me
on the long journey north, and that |
quarrelled with him, are all false. The
only foundation for the first is the fact
that I could not talk to Miss Verhoeff of
her loss in the midst of hundreds of
strangers who crowded the Kite and the
pier, but appointed later private meet
ing. -
tion was made with the explicit under
standing that it could be accompanied
by no conditions, and he never at any
time limited at any conditions. MIR. Yer
hoeff remained at Red Cliff House when
tuO IOoU VI UiiC pdi W WOAOoA o1AO iA1AoA'et
ice, because of his deep interest in and
special fitness for the scientific work as
signed him.
F'If Mr.. Verhoeff is dead everything
has been done that men and brothers
could do to find him or his remains, and
he has left behind him monument of
conscientious and accurate work in his
complete and valuable tidal and meteo-
rological observations
If as his sister and other relatives
believe, he deliberately left me with the
intention of remaining behind to carry
on independent explorations for another
year, he is safe among the natives, and
will suffer as little from cold or hunger as
he would at home.
'tMr. Verhoeff was man of indomi-
table will, thoroughly conscientious and
unselfish, and / believe there iseno one
person who hopes more earnestly than I
that he may still be alive

GENERAL OF THE JEsUITs.
ProvinciaIs from All the World to Elect
Father Ander1ey's Successor.

MADRID, September 2s.-The monas-
terry at Azpeitia, province of Guipizcca,
near which Ignatius Loyola, founder Of
the Society Of Jesus, was born, was the
scene today of great meeting of the
members of that order. The provincials
of the society from all parts of the world
assembled to elect a successor to the late
Father Anderley, General of the Jes-
uits. 1t is expected that several days
will be occupied in selecting the new
head for the order. This is the first
time since the founding of the society
in 1884 that the election of general,
who holds Office for life, has been held
outside of Rome. The venue on this oc-
casion was changed in order to escape
the influence of the Vatican.
