Peary and the North Pole.

1t is not likely hat the scheme Of the
fantastic Andree TO reach the north pole
by balloon will be succe ofnl. 1t is,
however, even within the bounds OF
probability that the American, Lieu
tenant Robert f. Peary, will be the n
to achieve the crowning geographical
triumph Of the centuries. His plan GER
tainly sounds sensible and feasible.
One thing in favor of the Peary
scheme is that he has been wise enough
from his first voyage OF TO make friends
of the Eskimcs. They have such faith
in him that they will go with him any.
where provided they may take their
families with them, for these Eskimos
are not wise like white men and know
no better than to find their happiness
among their families. Peary will estab-
lish a permanent camp of Eskimo fam
lilies at Sherard Osborne ford, which is
within about 800 miles of the pole it.
self. Thence he will take his Eskimo
men on journeys farther northward,
and they will be able to return for Wis
it's to the camp when the inconsistencies
strikes in Oh them.
At the farthest known %northerly point
of Greenland Peary will make a pro-
vision camp. There he will leave large
supplies of everything necessary to sus-
tain life during the summer journeys to-
ward the pole itself. The provision camp
will be within $50 miles of the pole and
will constitute the half way point be-
tween the Eskimo colony and the pole.
1t will take one summer to establish the
Eskimo colony at Sherard Osborne ford.
Another hummer will be consumed in
establishing the provision camp about
$50 miles north Of the ford. In 1899
Peary, with his Eskimos and dog
sledges, will make Il dash for the pole.
He hopes and believes he can make the
round trip from the provision camp to
the pole in "a days, getting back to
that camp by Sept. l.
The great problem to be solved is
whether there is any land at the pole
itself or whether all around there is
only frozen sea and nothing else. II
Peary's plan succeeds. we shall know
this for certain. The dog sledges and
Eskimos can travel swiftly and surely
over the rough and dangerous ice. The
one ever haunting peril in such a jour
ney will be the shifting ice foes over
which tho sledgers must pass.

LIKE A LOT OF HOODLUMS.
The Leftsts in the Austrian Rechsrath Acted
During Sitting.

Vienna, Nov. emperor Franz Jo-
Abrahamoviecz and Kramarz, the vice
presidents of the lower house of the
reichsrath, and expressed to them his sat
isfaction at the perseverance. calmne SIS
Quoted the recent difficult debates i'm the
house.
When the lower house of the reichsrath
reassembled today the acting president,
Herr Abraha novice declared that the
chair would not yield to Intimidation
and that he proposed to resist any at
tempts to violate the standing orders
thus promoting the Interests of the state
and the constitution.
This statement was the signal for an
uproar and disorder upon the part of
the leftiss. Amid increasing confusion
the lefh.sts continued to oppose the dis
cussfon of the bill for prolonging for a
year the Austro-Hungarian compromise,
although the house had adopted a reso-
luton to debate it.
DR.. Luegsr, burgomaster of Vienna,
who Herr Abrahamoviecz had invited to
speak, entered the presidents tribune
and refused to bulge. DR. Lueger ex-
hibited a placard inscribed, yell, and
then I win speak" This caused a fresh
outburst.
When DIR. Lueger made a fresh at
tempt to speak, Herr Schooner. of the
left group, began to read aloud from
an Austrian paper. The opposition par
ties fiercely abused each other and DR..
Lueger characterized the Schooner
group as a pack of street boys" The
sitting was again suspended and yet
again resumed, but it was impossible for
DR.. Lueger to get a hearing.
At half past 10 this evening the left
lists were shouting, believing and read
ing newspaper articles at the top of their
lungs. The uproar was incessant.

GOOD AND BAD MILK.
A Card From Ex-Sanitary Officer Gresham on
the Milk Used in Birmingham.

To the Editor of The Age-TIerald:
see i'm your issue of this date that at
the meeting of th= city council ,agt m g'ht
the ques ton OF impure milk was up for
discussion. I wish to say in regard to
this matter that the alderman who in
droauced this question was perfectly cor
rect in what she said, except THAT he did
not go far enough in the matter AS
for the water we use here dn Birming
l1am, think 1T is far better THAN the
water in many other cities could name.
The milk question 1 claim ITO know
something about. There are soma eighty
odd diaries that sell milk here i'm our
city. During my term as sanitary in
spe5or for 1.-THE city, the year of 1896, I
inspected about fifty of these diaries.
The plan of inspection was to go to the
premises and inspect their stock and
cams and premises; in fact, everything
about 1.-THE premises. I issued certificates
graded good" "fair," bad just as
found Them Good certificates were given
to only twelve of the number inspected.
There are "a large number of dairfts

Uses are simply filthy. Some of THE men

MENDlNG A GLOVE.

Mending may be SO perfectly done
that the torn article is. actually embel-
lished by the darn. This is notably true
of kid gloves, though most women are
in despair when there is hole in the
finger of an otherwise good glove and
prefer to pay money to the glove Clean
ing and repairing counter than chal-
lerge the damage themselves.
A simple lengthwise break in a seam
must be carefully overcast on the wrong
side, a very fine needle being used, as
it prevents the tearing of the kid. Cot
ton thread is preferred. An actual hole
in the kid requires different treatment.
1t should never be drawn together. The
best way to repair the hole is to employ
the buttonhole stitch. A fine needle and
fine silk thread and plenty of time are
necessary. With fine stitches nicely
buttonhole around the edge just as a
buttonhole would be made, with the ex-
ception that the stitches are trifie less
close together. Then, just as though
this had not been done, buttonhole it
around again, the second row of stitch
es being taken one between each pair of
stitches in the first row. The second
circle of stitches is, of course, smaller
than the first. This process is repeated
until the hole is closed. When done the
effect is so neat that break in the kid
Is actually to be heralded as chance
to display fine needlework.

Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
Kennedy, Nov. 4.-News has just
reached here that little seven-year-old
Ella May Croker, of Reform, sixteen
miles from this place, was criminally
assaulted Tuesday evening by a twenty
year-old negro man named Bud Beard.
Mr.. Crocker had Beard employed cut
ting Wood near his home, and little
Ella was sent to pick up chips where
the negro was at work, when the as
sault was made. Beard is a brother of
the negro Andy Beard, who was killed
in Pickens county last March for seduc-
ing and running away with a young
white girl named Iona Beamos.
Bud Beard is safe in Jail at Carroll
ton. The Croker family are respectable
people. The little girl was barely able
to go before the grand jury this after
noon to testify against her assailant.
The attending physician says that it is
doubtful whether she will recover.
Later reports claim the girl Is in q
very critical condition and the feeling is
very intense, and indicates that there
will be a lynching party tonight.

DOES YOUR LAMP SMOKE 2

In selecting lamp it is well to choose
one with shallow reservoir. for If the
oil is at too great a distance from the
burner it tends to make hte flame drop
lower as the oil diminishes. Reservoirs
of metal and stout glass are advised.
Another point overlooked by people
who complain of lamps. smoking and
giving forth bad doors is that on no
account must a lamp be filled and light
ed after 1t has been laid aside unused
for some time until the oil is all emp
tied out. The interior should be well
scalded and new dry wick put in. In
fact, If lamp is in constant use it
should be a rule that the reservoir is
to be emptied and scalded once a month.

ings spick and span and are afraid of
lamps smoking the walls and ceilings
should have tops to the chimneys. In
putting out light do not blow down
the chimney; turn the light down and
blow across the top of the chimney.
Cleaning chimneys is vexed ques-
ton. If they are washed and imperfect
ly dried they are apt to break when the
wick is lighted. New chimneys, If put
in cold water and gradually boiled, are
not so apt to break afterward. Burners
must be kept absolutely clean and fresh,
and at intervals should be boiled in soda
and water.
wicks are important. They must fit
in the full width of the wick case and
be cut off so they will not lie along the
bottom of the lamp. If lamp smells
or smokes without cause 1t is a sure
sign the wick wants changing.
There is no economy in using a cheap
oil 1t does not give so good light and
is very dangerous.

DIRTY WORK OF ST. LOUIS.
Tries to West From New Orleans Trade Which
Was Withheld Because of the Epidemic.

New York, Nov. 4.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: Gratifying evidences
that New Orleans is freeing itself slow
ly but surely from the difficulties and
embarrassments due to the prevalence
of yellow fever are found in the transfer
of cure ncy from the sub-treasury in
this city to New Orleans direct. On
Monday 100000 was forwarded, and
yesterday a similar amount was for
warded, gold being deposited therefor.
Now that New Orleans is recovering
somewhat, it is probable remittances
will be made direct during this month
and probably up to Dec. 25.
That ST. Louis banks have profited
by the misfortunes of New Orleans is
evident. One million five hundred thou
sand dollars in currency was sent to
st. Louis last week and more is to be
forwarded until the usual falling off,
which is observable about the middle of
November. 1t is believed by some per-
sons that st. Louis bankers will hold,
If not pressed their cotton bills business
and that New Orleans will not be able
to wrest from them even a fair vol
alme of that business which by no fault
of her own New Orleans has relin-
quished.
1t should be remembered, however,
that Alabama. Louisiana, Mississippi
and Texas draw largely from New Or
leans, and experts who have given some
attention to the claims of the two cities
believe that the bulk of the future bust
ness in cotton bills will not after all go
to st. Louis.
At the sub-treasury it was said that
the amount of currency asked for to be
used in the cotton belt is not as large as
last year.
