Paid For Her Sent.

A messenger boy was riding up town In
an elevated train the other day, and ac.
cording to the usual custom all the seats
were occupied and nearly all the standing
room. The messenger boy was sitting
comfortably a couple of seats away from
the door his brown face almost buried in
diluTidated paper covered story book,
and his eyes, when he revealed them to
the public gaze as he lifted his head and
turned page, fairly bullying with excito-
nent.
1t was when his interest was at its
hcght that portly, comfortable looking
old gentleman bent over and said in low
tones which only those near by could catch;
''See here, my hoy, / want you to do
something for me. want to buy that
seat
Between the old gentlemnn's fingers q
dime glittcrod The messenger boy raised
his dazed eyes, stared stupidity a moment
like one suddenly recalled to consciousness
and then sprang to his feet.
II don't want no nun for 1t, he re-
marked, siding toward the door.
But the old gentleman pursued him.
Here, sonny, take your money, he
said; that was the bargain.
Nav, answered the messenger boy,
proudly waving the bearer of base coin
away. But the old gentleman dropped
tho dime into the blue coat pocket and
turned bnek--to find that meek looking
woman was rcposing happily in his dearly
bought place. New York World.

Ditnculties That Beset the Expedition,
eliminating in the Loss of the Ragn-
valid Jarl and tho Safe Retreat.


QUARANTINE. N. Y, Sept. 27-The
steamer Spree, which arrived at Quaran-
tine last night, had on board the follow
ing gentlemen belonging to the Arctic ex-
pedition: Professor Walter Wellman,
Professor C. B. French, of the coast and
geodetic survey, of Washington, who was
astronomical observer of the party; DR.
Thomas b. Mohun, medical officer, and
Charles o. Dodge, artist and photogra
pher, all of whom belonged in Washing
ton
They left here last March, bound for the
north pole via Norway, and have been
gone little over six months. Mr.. Well
man, who was In charge, gives the follow
ing account of the expeditions:
''On the first of May we left the town
of Thomso, in Norway, on the steamer
Ragnyald Jarl, with twenty-five persons
alltold, sixteen of whom belonged to the
expedition and nine to the crew. We
reached Spitzbergen on the Ith day of May
lat. % IS, depositinR large quantity Of
provisions. leaving il In charge of Professor
Oyen, Notwegiau Reologist who was to
study the glaciers May 10, finding open
water on the uerth c9ast of Spitzbergen,
the steamer was b led for the Southern
Island, l50 miles TO the northeast.
After several battles with the ice we
reached Table Island on the 18th of May,
and We're then in lat. $3.50, or within $50
miles of this north pole, within fourteen
miles as far as had been reached by the
Lockwood or Brainard expeditions Thus
far we mad covered AS much ground as
other expeditions had in months, or even
years.
storms now set in on the 18th, and
,F I,r,, 10, lac
ing past. On the Eth the steamer was
forced to the north, a little past the slst
parallel, and was then driven back by the
floating ice, through which no steamer
could have forced her way.
Finding what appeared to be perfectly
sal. anchorage on the shore of Walden
LIND, the expedition of fourteen men
lett the ship on the 24th of May. Our
course was to the eas ward, skirting the
northern shore OF Northeast Land Four
days later we received word by messenger
that the ship had been crushed by the
ice. Fortunately most of the stores were
saved.
Notwithstanding this loss of the ship,
which cut off outline of retreat, we de-
cided to go on. After exploring most of
the coast of the Northeast Land . found
the ioa thrown up in hopeless confusion
in every direction. We made N effort
with one boat and picked crew of eight
men to advance to the north, but so rough
was the ice that after four d8,s of indie
scfib BILE effort we found that we had ad-
vanced less than four miles. The same
copditions of ice existed as far as the eye
could see.
Further progress being impossible, we
made our way back through many dan
gers and difficulties"

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The bulletin is
sued by Observer Dunn, calling attention
of mariners and others to the cyclone that
is rushing up the coast, has had the effect
of preventing number of persons from
going to sea. The Ward line steamer
Nigiiancia, which sailed yesterday after
noon for Havana and Mexican ports, had
passenger list of about thirty eight, but
when the hour of sailing arrived only
thirty of the number put in an appear
ance at the dock to brave the approaching
storm. The Nigilancia, however, ,,has an
chored inside Sandy Hook, and will not
put to sea until the force of the cyclone
has subsidized. Other vessels thnt should

piers. Reports show that the cyclone is
general along the southern coast, and that
it is working northward with diminished
force.

THE GREAT STALLION RACE

MEDFoRS. Mass, Sept 27.-The biggest
a' 5wd that ever ssaembled on a track in
New England gathered at Mystic Park
yesterday afternoon to witness the great
est stallion rare ever contested in the east.
The contest was between Directum, Arion
and Nelson. When the stations were
given the word the second time they came
down the track, with Nelson almost half
length behind the others. Directum had
the pole, with Arion second and the Maine
horse on tine outside. The quarter pole
was reached in 33 seconds, with Directum
neck stead of Arion and Nelson half Il
length behind. The half was made in
1.Oj and the three quarter in 1.3S, with the
positions unchanged. Directum finished
half a length ahead of Arion, with Nelson
tagging n length behind. Time ~

Nelson slightly in the lead. At the quar-
ter pole he still led Directum, with Arion
almost length in the rear of 1.-THE black

creased his lead to q length, and the
crowd almost went wild with enthusiasm.
Then Directum spurted, and at the third
quarter was a length in the lead, with
Arion and Nelson neck and neck. In the
stretch Nelson dropped behind and fin
ished three lengths in the rear of Di-
rectum, who lead Arion by length. Time

When the horses got off again Nelson
was half a length behind. AT the quar-
ter Directum was neck ahead of Arion,
but few seconds later the latter created
