natOr of the idea is Mr.. Warrington
Baden-Powel, elder brother of Sir
George Baden-Powell, M. P, and Maj.
Baden-PowelI, who led the pioneers in
the late Ashantee expedition. An ex-
petition is now being planned, but
whether it will travel under British or
American auspices has not yet been
decided.
The peculiar craft, by which it is be-
lieved the success for which millions of
money have been spent and many lives
sacrificed will be achieved, is to be
alike nothing ever constructed. In it's
entirety it resembles in a degree the
ocean whaleback. The deck covering
IS of steel, studded with heavy rivets,
the whole specially drawn and welded
with the idea of withstanding extreme
temperature, the sort that is naturally
eX- ected to exist in the vicinity of the
pole. This is about the only resem-
blance, so far as any striking feature
is concerned, to any other craft which
was ever planned. In fact, it is no.
ticeable for the many radical changes
and departures from all previous the
cries Of marine architecture.
At the apex of the bow is curious
screw, not unlike a series of circular
saws. This ice destroyer-for that is
what it really is-constitutes the means
for forcing a passage through icefloes
which never could be accomplished con-
tinuously and successfully except by
some such means. AS the ship lies in
the water this screw saw is observed
as projecting several feet and partially
out of the water. In appearance this
HcOntrivance resembles more than any
thing else, a huge screw. AS stated, it
has teeth like a saw cut in the edges
of it's thread. The shaft, or center of
this screw, is a massive affair of steel,
pointed at one end, so that it may be
operated as a ram. 1t is the idea of
the inventor to send the craft ahead at
an ice pack or foe under a full head
Of steam, with the propeller at the stern
and the screw at the bow both work
ing together, although one receives it's
power from an electric engine, while
the power of the other comes from ar
engine driven by steam.
The rapidly revolving screw and ram
combined will first crash into the ice
impelled by a power that is tremen-
dous, when the size of the craft be
considered. Then it will saw and bore
its way through the pack or foe, throw
ing the ice upward and backward. II
might be thought that the flying ice
and snow would injure or burden the
vessel, and to avoid anything Of this
nature, shield has been constructed
which will answer the dual purpose OF
Withstanding the heavy shocks of the
waves and the bombardment of flying

fractionally higher this morning, and for the
first hour ruled steady, with the trade gen.
orally in a hesitating mood. From II a. m.
up to the close the market ruled quiet strong

to the trade. Although they do not expect
much of it, they want it more out Of curiosity
than anything else. Chicago advised of a

speed Of the camel to be about three miles an

The end of the week leaves the butter mar
ket considerably lower than at the opening.
NO cnange was made on anything in the but
yer Ine today, although the tendency Of
creamery butter continues downward. Heavy
receipts and only moderate movement are the
cause OF this. Seconds and thirds rule
weak, especially the latter grade, of which
some accumulation is reported. On dairies
the 1eellng is similar to creameries. A small
amount Of extras is being taken by the local
trade Ffrsts and seconds are dull. Packing
stock is easy.
There was no change made in the price of
strictly fresh eggs. The jobbing call was of
no Importance, as almost all handlers are
well stocked up. Retailers are slow to take
offerings.
Turkeys not selling satisfactorily and
lower prices prevail. On chickens the demand
is meagre, and under rather free receipts
prices are Nc lower. Ducks are scarce and
sell readily at quotations. Geese are very
quiet
veal is steady at &c when fancy. Mutton and
lamb are in moderate request Dressed hogs
are quiet and buyers are scarce.

Has Been a Priest for Twenty
Five Years.
Congratulated ny the Professors
and Students of the Catholic
University.

In the assembly hall of the Catholic
University LAST night, the professors aud
students were gathered TO offer congratu-
lations to their houored head, Right Rev
Mgr. Thomas J. Conaty. The occasion
was tie tv enty-fifth anniversary OF his
ordination, which ne is soon to happily
celebrate at his old post of duty, in
worcester Mass
Informal in nature, with no attempt at
academic display, The meeting OF last
evening impressed one As the expression
OF the kir,Gest and sincerest regard. 1t
owed It's inspiI atioli 10 the fact that the
professors and students did not wish to
have the celebration confined TO the i'm
mediate family of the rector, as was Dr.
Couaty's modest intent.
DR. Shahsn. dean OF the faculty or
theology, addressed the rector in the
name of his conf reres, Rev. NJ. 7. slat-
terry. OF Springfield, Mass. and Mr.. Lee
Stock. OF Gettysburg, Pa, performing a
ike pleasant duty for the clerical and
lay students. DR.. Conaty responded in a
feeling manner. ana the evening passed
off with IN, cordially OF family reunion.
Mgr. Conaty has long been public
character Educated in the public and
parish schools of Taunton, Mass, and later
on at Holy Gloss College, Worcester from
which institution he was graduated wIUh
honor in s63, he pursued his studies in
| divinity at the seminary of st. SUlpice in
Montreal Ordained in Montreal, Decem-
| Der 81, 1872, he labored with his fellow
| priests In the city of Worcester, until in
$50 he was appointed to the charge Of the
| Sacred Heart parish in the same city.
He resigned from this charge to assume
| the duties OF rector in the Catholic Uni
versty Of America.
Although engaged in educa tional work
| he set found time TO devote to the social
! problems. From leader of the Spring
| field Diocesan Union OF Tempe rance Work
efs. he rose into the presidency OF the
entire national organization in 1887.
| Identified with the Irish national move
ment IN its ineipiency, he rose to the
highest positions of trust and honor aud
has always been regarded as possessing
| the genius of an organizer in very pro
nounced degree.
Connected with the Worcester school
| board for fourteen years and with the
| Worcester Free Public Library for several
terms, he was always associated with
| the hest interests Of the city and merited
unstinted praise from 6. Stanley Hall and
| Senator Hoar for his learning, patriotism,
| and eloquence. The Catholic Summer Schoo
Of America owes its splendid organiza tiou
chiefly To his untiring efforts, and stands
as a monument to his power of organiza
ton.
1t is only natural that a public char
| acter, such as his has been, should claim
attention, and the expression of cordauty
last evening came as fitting tribute
to one, who by his public utterances and
| his private, humble, steadfast endeavor, has
| always er'deared himself to church anC
state alike, always working for social bet
terment, always ceunseIing advance to
ward the highest, the noblest, and the
best in the interest of faith and humanity
