ID There Any 'sFour Hundred?''

One is glad to learn from SO good IN
authority as Mrs. Burton Harrison, in
The Cosmopolitan Magazine, that the
existence Of any real -Four Hundred such
as are supposed to constitute the head
and front Of New York high life is, to
say the least, very doubtful The al
legged Four Hundred are Limited set
Of ultra rich Americans, who are put
up as social models for the rest Of the
country. Some of these do not care
for the absurd pedestaling, others take
themselves seriously and accept the pub
lie notice and the fattery as only the
due Of their superior merits A woman
of this latter division said not long
since, according to a story told by Mrs.
Harrison "Really, now that society in
New York is getting SO large, one must
draw the line somewhere. After this I
shall visit and invite only those who
have moro than $4,000, 000."
Such is "high life" in America.
Perhaps, however, mere wealth is
getting so common in this country that
the swell set will be obliged to find
some other way to distinguish themselves
from the common herd. In that lies the
real hope for society in this country. The
mere vulgarly rich will in time find that
they cannot draw the line anywhere on
the line Of the millions. Wit, cultivated
brains, innate refinement, the gentleness
Of manner and the beauty and goodness
that come from within outward-these
will in time constitute the genuine So
cial power in America. When that time
comes, the schoolmistress who possesses
these requirements will be more Of q
leader in "good society" than the WON
an who has nothing but her big diamonds
and her castle at Newport to recommend
her.

the intense summer heat prevailing the
sound men felt the cravings Of hunger.
But on the 23d the Indians broke camp
and disappeared from view. This might
be ruse, or it might mean that relief
was in sight. It was the latter, for the
two scouts who left the island on the
night Of the battle had got through to
the fort A relief column started at once
and was half way Oh it's journey when
the savages took alarm and retreated.
Forsyth subsequently verified the es-
Inmates made on the field that the In
dams had fought him 900 to 1000
strong. They lost rs killed and 300
wounded. The casualties on the island

Professor Huxley was the one who
gave to the nineteenth century the word
"agnostic." It has been perverted to a
far different meaning from the one he
first intended, however. Originally all
agnostic was simply man who did not
know and did not profess to know any
thing about future state There might
or might not be one-the agnostic mod
estly held his peace on the subject. But
those who call themselves agnostics to-

To Bring Peary Home.

The stanch little steam barlentine
Kite, on her voyage from St. Johns, N.
B., will raach the coast of Greenland
about the middle of July: She will then
steam north along the Greenland coast,
stopping at Godhaven week. She car
ries an assorted lot of professors of zool-
ogy, geology and botany, and these will
make their studies and bring home val
liable specimens for their various muse
ums and laboratories. At Godhaven the
professors of geology will study the gla-
ciers. Then the Kite will proceed north
ward to the winter quarters of Peary and
his men at Inglefeld gulf.
Peary promised, if alive, to be at the
station on Inglefeld gulf not later than
the middle of August. There the scien-
tifc men will make still further studies.
About the 1st Of September the Kite will
come back from frozen zone to lands of
sun.
1t is to be fervently hoped that she
will bring Peary and his brave attend
ants with him. He had only two-one,
Hugh Lee, plucky Connecticut lad
scarcely out of his teens; the other, Pea
RVS faithful colored servant, Matthew
Henson. With these and his dogs AND
sledges, the intrepid American hoped tc
finish marking out the northern coast
of Greenland, if not ultimately to reach
the pole. The almost phenomenally mild
winter in the northern regions will be
greatly in his favor. By Sept Is at fur
thest we may look for the Kites return.
We have been told for years that there
is considerable quantity of gold in see

covered a process for extracting it 81
cheaply that at cost Of 81 he can pro
duce $4,000 worth Of gold. If this b.
true, it will not be long till the shi]
companies will have to throw aside thei
huge, heavy draft steamers and bull
smaller ones. Drying up the oceans t.

MOUNT RAINIER OR MOUNT TACOMA


AN ENGINEERS EXPERIENCES NEAR THE GREAT
PEAK-ITs INDIAN NAME.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent number of The Tribune | saw
the statement In its editorial columns that
Mount Rainier Is the correct name of the great
peak which some people insist calling Mount
Tacoma II Is true that the official geographical
name is Mount Rainier II called by early
English naval officers after Admiral Rainier, of
the English Navy 1t is believed. however that
the Admiral himself never the mountain. The
Indian name Is Tacoma. Tajoma 1t would be
pronounced in Spani H. with long accent on the
second syllable
In the years 1880 and 1881. a civil engineer in
the employ OF the Northern Pacific Railway. it was
nv duty TO make a series OF explorations and sur
veys of the Cascade Range in which is situated
Mount Rainier The explorations covered the en-
tire range between Mount Adams and Snoqua nie
Pass and were extremely difficult. Indians were
often employed guides or for packing provisions
and supplies through the canyons and forests
which had hitherto been generally, II not wholly,
sealed against the intrusion OF white men. All
these Indians, whether from the eastern western
slope called the mountain Tacoma This name

II is probable that the name Mount Rainier will

have often thought that the name of some one or
our own great heroes like Washington Lincoln or
Grant. should be chosen for this grand monarch Of
mountains, which presents the sublime single
spectacle to be found on the continent. or perhaps
IN all the world
The explorations mentioned furnished many op-
portunities for beholdng the peak. both In storm
