THINK 1T is VERHOEFF.
Relatives Believe it Is He who Has
Reached the Disappointed in Peary
Expedition of 1892.

The report that Nansen has found the
North Pole recalls John M. Verhoeff,
who was member OF Peary's first ex-
petition in 1884, and whose romantic
career is made the subject of an interest
ing article in the Philadelphia Press.
The Press conjectures that it may be the
young American instead Of the young
Norwegian who is referred to in the
meagre reports which have come by way
of the Siberian islands.
{ He was the member of the Sohefield
Scientific school, who wrote to Peary
from San Francisco, March II, 1896, ask
Ing for place Oh his staff. After some
correspondence he was accepted. 1t had
been the desiderstum of his life to MAKE
q northerly expedition. He was one of
the hardest working men in the party.
he lived and ate with the Eskimos
when possible, and could support life on
blubber and walrus flesh; he injured his
body to extremes of cold, and all these
thing he did with this end in view: that
If he could SO adapt himself to the Eski-
mo life that he could sustain life under
exactly the same conditions as the ma
tIves, there was no reason why he could
not remain independent of any expedit-
Ion IN the arctic regions for an Indefinite
period, and conduct explorations as no
man had ever done before him.
Just as Peary was about to return. in
August, 1892. Verhoeff disappeared. They
were then in the vicinity of Mccormick
bay. He had said that he was going up
the valley to collect minerals. Footprints
of his were found at the top Of great
gorge, and it was concluded that he had
met his death by falling over.
Relatives of Verhoeff live near Phila-
delphia and they have never believed
otherwise than that he Is alive and well.
he had magnifioen5 constitution and
was careful and determined. They are
confident that the first authentic things
from the pole will not tell of Nansen,
and his Norwegians, but of the solitary
wanderer, John M. Verhoeff
His uncle, the Rev. A. N. Kergivin
of Wilmington, DEL, is particularly
hopeful. The young fellow, he says,
was not willing to return with Peary,
and that the only way to escape was by
running away He took along the in
struments to work with, and Mr.. Keri-
gin believes that it is he. if anybody,
who travelled the 1000 miles, crossing
the frozen ocean from Greenland over
the New Siberian islands and on to the
North Pole.

WOULD LIKE 1T.
Olney Said to Be More than willing to Be
the Democratic Sacrifice.

Washington, February ga special to
the Herald says: What is the extent of
the Olney Presidential boom inaugurated
by Joseph Quincy in Boston last night?
That is the question which has been
frequently asked today by politicians
which has been the talk of clubs and
hotel lobbies and which has caused a
Olney's availability as Presidential
candidate. The general opinion IS that
there will be good deal of Olney senti-
ment among the delegates when they
meet in Chicago next July
The close friends of Secretary Olney
here say that he is not looking for the
u domination; in fact he would not turn
over his hand TO secure it. Mr.. Olney is
reported to have said on one occasion
when it was sugggested to him that he
might be the nominee of his party that if
there was any danger of that he should
take to the woods. Yet his friends say
that should the nomination be offered to
him he would not refuse it.
For several months thsre has been talk
in Washington of Mr.. Olney being the
nominee. The movement has been grow
ing in force until today it has assumed
an Importance which must be considered
as factor in the settlement of the nomi-
nation.
1t is believed that tho time is not far
distant when Mr. Cleveland will un-
equivocably announce his position in re-
gard to denomination that he will de-
cline to again be candidate and that all
of his influence will be exerted in behalf
of his successor.
Who will that be?.
With Mr.. Whitney declining to be d
candidate one can see ~but two men
whom the President could cordially sup
port. One is Richard Olney, The other is
John G. Carlisle
While the latter bears closer personal
relations with the President than per-
haps any other member of the Cabinet
there are many here who believe that for
political and geographical reasons the
President will throw his support in favor
Of Mr.. Olney.

MRS. MAVERICK AGAIN.
Rumors That She Is Soon To Be a Free
Woman.

London, February 24.-Never were the
friends of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the
American woman convicted of poisoning

on life sentence, more sanguine of win

In fact, every one of her friends, when

HOME MISSIONS.
Congregational Home Society Will Cele-
brate Next June in New Haven.

New Haven. Conn, February 24.-The
Congregational Home Missionary Socie-
ty. whose headquarters are in New York
oity. will observe it's 18th anniversary
here June to June q, in the Centre
church, of which Rev. Newman Smyth,
d. D., is pastor. The origin and work
of the society have been as follows:
When the American (now the Congre-
gational) Home Missionary Society was
organized in 1926, several local organiza-
tions for home missionary work were in
operation, some of whom originated in
the last century. The Society for Propa-
eating the Gospel among Indians and
others N North America was founded in
1887; the Missionary Society of Connec-
ticut and the Berkshire and Columbia
Missionary Society in 1898; the Massa-
chusetts Missionary society in 1899. 9th
ers of a later origin existed in the other
New England States and in New York.
Some of them confine their operations
within their own geographical limits.
Others sent missionaries 20 the destitute
| n the new settlements Of Northern New
England and the remoter wilderness,
even to the banks of tho Mississippi. IL
was evident that moro comprehensive,
economical and effective system must be
devised to supply the destitute portions
of the country with gospel Uinistrations !;
but no direct steps were taken toward
toward the solution Of this problem till
1926, when the germ originated from
which the American Home Missionary
Society was evolved.

The fifth annual clearance sale of this
well-known and popular furniture and
drapery house which was inaugurated
yesterday, proved to be more successful
than any of their previous efforts Their
store was crowded all day yesterday with
satisfied customers who had taken ad-
vantage of the rare bargains they were
offering.
These sales occur only once year with
the Walter Corey Company, those in
want of furniture or draperies should
take advantage of the liberal discount
they offer. Although the lines are sadly
broken by the heavy sales Of yesterday,
hundreds of rare bargains still remain.
This sale is to continue all through the
week, and if honest goods and low prices
count, we predict very successful sale
for this popular and reliable concern.
