MINISTER PHELPS TO BE il

A Surprising appointment Made by Gov.
Werts of New Jersey.
Gov. Werts of New Jersey sprung a surprise
on the legislature and all the politicians last
night by sending to the senate the appointment
Of William Walter Phelps lay judge of the
court of errors and appeals, to succeed Jona-
than s. Whitaker. whose term expires March
is. Mr.. Phelps is United States minister to
Germany and at first thought it would seem
improbable that he would accept a lay Judge
ship at a salary Of not over 81 200 year
1t is not likely. however. that the governor
would have made the appointment without as
surance Of Mr.. Phelps acceptance, and it is
even intimated that the position was asked
for by Ministers Phelps. He ana Gov. werts
are warm friends and this friendship inspired
the appointment 1t is rumored that Minister
Phelps will resign his mission and return TO his
native state before the expiration Of Judge
Whittakers term.
The position of lay Judge OF the court of
errors and appeals. while paying but meyer
salary, is a highly honorable and important one
This is the court of last resort in New Jersey,
and 1t interprets the acts of the legislature 1t
is composed of the chancellor the chief Justice
and eight associate justices of the supreme
court and six lay judges. These are all APP
pointed by the governor, who is unchecked as
to the political complexion of the court

No Hope for HOsmer.

The Hosmer-Bubear race from Putney to

the slightest hope from the start that Hosmer

fred. Bubear won the toss and chose the
Surrey side Of the river. He took the lead at

More Comfortable in Gree inland.


From the New York Times.
Mrs. Peary, who brilliantly shares in the
fame of her husband. Lieut.. Peary, the famous
explorer q Greenland, said in conversation q
few days ago that she thought she felt the cold
more here in New York during our recent siege
of severe weather than she did last year ND
where a zero temperature is considered mod
crate.
She attributed her discomfort to the fact that
in Greenland she was perfectly protected from
the weather by her dress, fur case that had no
gaps to let the body heat escape. The outside
temperature is not of so much account il the
problem OF preserving the Inside heat is solved.
And this practically is in the Esquimaux Dress
Ankles, wrists neck and ears have no craps
for loss Of heat as in the costumes in which
modern civilized men and women-particularly
women-undertake to endure cold weather. The
body is continuously protected in the fur suit
Of the polar regions, and this rational dress
permitted Mr.. and Mrs. Peary. as the lieutenant
sacks at night and sleep warm and comfortable
in the open air OF an arctic night, with the
thermometer registering from IS to 50 degrees
below zero!
According to Mrs. Peary again, marriage
among US southerners must be good deal Of q
failure from the Esquimaux husbands point Of
view. She tells Of his disgust with her ''lazi-
ness when he brought in his first skins and
threw them down with a grunt at her feet. She
paid no attention to them, as he found when
he returned some time afterward. and he again
drew her notice in their direction. He was
greatly astonished to find that this "white
woman from the south did not intend to fol-
low the example Of her Esquimaux sister and
fashion the skins into wearing apparel 70. her
self and the men of her party.
As Lieut.. Peary had described the process Of
this garment making-the chewing Of the skins
to render then, pliable, after which they are
sewed-the value Of the Esquimaux wife's COM
plaisance may be realized. Generations of such
complaisance on the part Of these little brown
women have developed the recognized iron
jaw" Of the feminine Esquimaux.

the words. A challenge was the result II was
reported on Sunday that Deroulede wished his
seconds to defer final arrangements for the duel
until Deputy Pichon explained why he felt in
suited by a mention Of his relations to Cor

ferred. Swords were the weapons and the two
men fought with considerable vindictiveness
