An Arctic Affair.

Those explorers who have gone OIL to
find the north pole ought to be APP
prised in some way that there Is
urgent need Of their locating that oh
ject Immediately, II not sooner. A
couple Of sanguinary Pittsburghers
have got important business TO transact
In the vicinity Of that muchly sought
after and not as yet found pinnacle Of
tho globe. The gentlemen in question
threw their smoky burgh into a state
Of tumult the other day by arranging
to fight duel on February o., 1900, at
the north pole with squirt guns as
weapons. The challenging party de-
clares himself rs wholly In earnest and
that II Is no laughing matter. Now II
the explorers can only find that pole
the scrap may be pulled of.

Now THAT SO much Of the west has
ceased to DO distinctly new country,
and presents In general the social and
business conditions Of the eastern
states, tho idea Of migration thither
offers fewer attractions to young men
In New England, and they show on in
creaslng tendency to try their fortunes
at home, This Is especially noticeable
In Maine, where trade, and agriculture
are stimulated by markets created by
visitors drawn thither by Its hunting
and fishing and Its summer resorts. It
Is estimated, on oficial authority, that
the population Of Maine is now seven
hundred and twenty-five thousand,
gain Of seventy-one thousand in four
years, and the remaining years Of the
decade promise 10 show even more
rapid increase.
