Death of Mrs. E. G. Kimban,

The death Of Nellie T. p. Kimball, wife
of DR.. E. G. Kimball, principal of the
Franklin school. which occurred early
Tuesday morning, though not unexpected,
was shock to her many friends. Mrs.
kimball had tcen an invalid for four
years. and for a year and half confined
to her bed. She was respected and be-
loved by all who knew her. but 1t was to
those who were near her during the last
years to whom was fully revealed her
sweet and womanly Christian character by
her supreme patience under unusual suf-
fering. her quiet resignation to the weary
life of an invalid. her thoughtfulness for
others, her appreciation of efforts to add
to her comfort and the brightness that she
shed about her. Funeral services We're
held at her late residence. 1915 NJ street
northwest. this afternoon at 3 o'clock
Rev. c. c. Meador. DID,, was the officiat-
Ing clergyman. The interment was made
at Glenwood.

DR.. NANSEN'S RETURN
He Sends a Message Announcing His
Safety.
He Goes Farthest North, but Does Not
Reach the POle-BrOuEht Back
by the Wiudward.

In confirmation Of the dispatch in yester-
days Star announcing that Nansen. the ex-
plorer. had been heard from. the Verdens
Gang. daily newspaper of Christiania,
Norway. has received the following tele-
gram from DR.. Nansen: Home safe after
fortunate expedition
The newspaper, ,Dagensnyheter of Malmo
Sweden. has received communications from
DR., Nansen and Lieut.. Schotthansen from
the Island of Vardoe.
These communications state that they
abandoned the Fran in the autumn Of 1881
and resorted to the ice. The steamer Wind
ward carrying supplies to the Jackson
Harmsworth expedition. picked them uI
near Franz Josef Land. They expected
that the Fran would eventually drift &C
the east coast of Greenland.
DR.. Nansen failed to reach the north
POLE. bat lie touched point four degrees
rearer than any other explorer has done.
DIR. Nansen left the Fran on March IA,
1855, in 81 degrees north latitude he
traversed the polar sea to point ~ de-
grees IA minutes north latitude. situated
north of the New Siberia Islands. No land
was sighted north of 81 degrees OF latitude
O. thence to Franz Josef Land. where he
passed the winter, subsisting on bears
flesh and whale blubber.
DIR. Nansen and his companion are in the
best of health. The Fran is expected al
Nardo or Bergen shortly. Shc Stood ine
ice well. There were no sick persons
aboard when Nansen left her.
The steamer Windward took letters fol-
Nansen when 1t started to the relief of the
Jackson-Harmsw sworth expedition, as Mr.
Jackson expected to find Nansen, and was
convinced that his idea Of drifting across
the pole in the ice was impracticable. He
was also convinced that Nansen would re-
turn in the direction of Franz Josef Land
The Windward left Vardo for Franz Jo-
sef Land in order to bring back the Brit
ish expedition, June % last.
The attempt now In progress by the
Jackson Harmsworth expedition commenced
in July, 1894. The Windward took the
expedition to Franz Josef Land. where
depots were established. preparatory te
the march northword. Windward returned
and was on her second trip to Franz Josef
Land to bring back the expedition wher
the news has been flashed from Norway
that she has returned to Vardo vita Dr
Nansen.
There is discrepancy between DR.. Nan
sens claim that he touched point tour
degrees nearer the pole than any other
explorer has done. and the statement tina
he traversed the Polar sea to point St
degrees IA minutes north latitude.
The furthest point north heretofore
reached was a little island in latitude 81
degrees "a minutes. reached by lockwood
and Brainerd Of the Greedy QSsl expedi-
