THE FALCON.

Ahnegito Pcary, and an Eskimo girl whom Mrs. Peary had brought with her from the arctic regions, was escorted to a waiting coach and hurried to the Penn sylvania railroad station, where she board ed train for Washington, the home of her mother.
 In a short interview the brave little woman showed plainly by her manner that she is much chagrincd because of her husbands determination to remain in the arctic region. She declares she Is going north again next summer and bring him back to civilization If she has to drag him with her. Mrs. Peary appeared in the best of health, and the baby, born amid icebergs, which Is now alittle more than a year old and beautiful child, seems to be all the better for the rough life it has been compelled to lead.
 Commander Bryant, who had charge of the relief party, says the expedition was a great success. We made many valu- able collections, the ethnoiogical speci. mems being very rare. think we have the finest series of photographs of life and scenes in the arctic country that were ever taken"
 The party killed eight polar bears and have the skins with them on the Falcon. They also have the skeletons of all of these animals. In addition they brought back about 50 Eskimo dogs.
 All of the relief party came on the Fal- con except Dr. Ohlin, who left 1t at Co penhagen and Professor Chamberlain of Chicago and H. l.. Bridgeman of Brook lyn, who went from St. Johnt Toronto, where they will examine some fossils. All on board were reticent and 1t Is said they have been prohibited speaking for five days or longer, and 1t was therefore din. cult to get information about the trip.
 It was intimated by one of the men who was with Peary that several who came away would have remained with the OK plorer in the frozen north but for the scarcity of food When asked if it was true that the explorer and his party had been compelled to eat whale blubber, the men declined to either confirm or deny the story.
 It Is believed, however. that Peary is threatened with lack of food that may bs- come serious. The Falcon will load with coal and return immediately to St John.

RIvERHEAD, N. Y, Sept. 25.-Judge William J. Gaynor sent the following tel egram to M. L. Towns at Saratoga:
 II was elected justice of the supreme court last fall In a district comprising nine counties and one-fourth of the popu- lation of the state The office came to me not from those in power, but from the people, and unsought. I was not able to see then that I was entitled to any thing merely for having done what could as private citizen for honesty, decency and manliness in politics and in govern mont, nor am l able now
 Anyhow, I cannot at this time lay down the office I hold. I could disregard the effect upon those dependent on me In the loss of the legal practice gave up to go on the bench and again in the loss of my present handsome salary, but cannot again so soon appeal to the splen- did individual integrity and intelligence which stood behind the ballots cast for me last fall have said all along. pri- vately and publicly, orally and in writ ing, that I should not become a candi- date for governor, and the above is my ohiefest reason.
