Nansen, whose men tumbled into many

PART II.
We were sitting there in silence when the
door opened and young lady came In She
was rather above the middle height, slim,
with dark hair and eyes which seemed the
darker against the absolute pallor Of her
skin. I do not think that have ever seen
such deadly paleness in woman's face.
Her lips, too, were bloodless, but her eyes
were flushed with crying As she swept
silently into the room she impressed me
with greater sense of grief than the
banker had in the morning, and it was the
more striking in her, as she was evidently
a woman of strong character with immense
capacity for self-restraint Disregarding
my presence, she went straight to her uncle,
and passed her hand over his head with a

Of February, after period of twilight and
darkness lasting about 130 days. During
March the welcome sunlight fingered a
little longer with each successive day, and
early April ushered in the period of active
exploration.
Nearly all the explorations to North
Greenland, after the long night of compar-
alive inaction, have set out on their sledg-
ing expeditions during the first week in
April, and three of them, Dr. Hayes, Cap
tain Markham and Lockwood, when he
started for the 'tFarthest North, " all began
the formidable work of the season on April
3. 1t is hoped that Peary's sledges, bound
Tor the north end of Greenland, are already
several weeks on the way.

Ryder reached the east coast last summer,
and intended to winter near Cape Brewster
He is expected to study and map 500 miles
Of coast line, of which the part between
Cape Brewster and Cape Dan is wholly un-
known. His project was to spend the win
ter in scientific observations; to devote the
spring to sfedge journeys, to map the inner
part of the Sounds and Fiords, and to study
thainterior ice; and late in June he expects
to start down the coast in three boats, leav-
ing his collections at his winter camp to be
taken off by q steamer if she succeeds in
pushing through the ice.
1t is expected that Ryder will complete
his survey of the coast to Cape Dan by the
beginning Of September. He will await

Our Most Bitter Enemy in Trouble.

lifcation of the honest local press of the coun-
try, is now experiencing some trouble with
the post office authorities. because they very
properly contemplate excluding 1t from the
rates accorded to second class mail matter.
AS far as our information and belief are con-
cerned nc other firm, or any other publica-
ton, in the United States has labored so zeal
ously to bring the country press into public
contempt. 1t Is to all intents and purposes
an advertising sheet, whose two great objects
seem to be to mouopolize the advertising Gus
tom and to destroy in the public mind the
value and worth Of the local press. The inf1u-
ence upon the public mind can be
but for evil to the country press and we do
not care II 1t is required TO pay the postage
which the law requires. The firm OF George
p. Rowell & Co., have never, as far as we
know, shown any sort Of respect for the coun-
try press. They accuse great mass of them
as being "circulation liars and then proceed
themselves in their Annual TO discredit in
dividual actual circulation specifically, and
in general way to throw odium and con-
tempt upon thr local papers.
The Press and Banner regards Geo. P. Row
ell & CO., as the greatest enemy that the local
press of the country have met. and we think
1t would be well for the printing fraternity II

a larger area will have marked effect on
the city's mortality bill. l have lost sew
eral patients who have cured themselves OF
old standing ailments by riding out into
the suburbs frequently, and then walking
off their dyspepsia. Many business men,
too, who move out walk part OF the way
down town in the morning, or cross few
blocks to strike another road. The man
who takes walking exercise seldom needs

the newly developed parts of the city can't
help walking a good deal, no matter how
little he likes "-Pittsburg Dispatch.
