CROSSING ICE FIELDS.
That Is What Herr Andree Prob
ably Is Doing Just Now.
Friends Believe In the Safety of the
Intrepid Explorer-He Was Pre-
pared for All Emergencies
with Practical Safeguards.

The latest belief in Stockholm is that
Herr Andree is returning to civilization
and Is at the present moment crossing
the fee fields. Here are the newest
views. Also, extracts from a letter to
a friend, which will be received with
great interest: o.
That Andree will ultimately return to
civilization I find to be generally be-
leved in Sweden, and from no one
have come more positive statements
than those made to me by Baron
Nordenskjold. The intimate friend Of
Andree, thoroughly familiar with his
hopes and his plans, and above all, a
clear-headed, practical person, Baron
NordensJold says nothing which is not
worth considering. When asked him
If he really expected to see Andree
again he said: why, certainly l do.
The constant assertion that he is dead
amuses rather than saddens me. I
know the man, his plans, his theories,
his hopes his indomitable courage, all
of which to one who thoroughly I'M
derstands the expedition and all of
which it consists, renders his success
not only possible, but exceedingly
probable.
"It is my belief that Andree is at the
present moment upon ice which has
hitherto been untrodden by the foot of
man. You must remember that the
balloon under ordinary conditions
would remain in the air "a days. In
asmuch as the distance from the point
of embarkation near Tromsoe wss not
more than 700 miles from the sup
posed location of the pole as the crow
flies, it seems to me the minimum de-
gree of reason to believe that Andree
has not only reached the pole, but con-
cluded his observations there and be-
gun his journey to Siberia, from which
land 1 believe we shall hear from him
by the time spring rolls around"
DR.. Nils Ekholm, who accompanied
Herr Andree to Spitzbergen last year
with the intention of taking part in his

Horse with n History.

The oldest horse in the world is now
believed to be in Kansas City. He is
called Stonewall Jackson, and will be
40 years old next April In 1868 Stone
wall was bought by his present owner,
j. c. Herold, from Jesse James. He had
carried the famous bandit through the
war, and Jesse said he was the best ami
NAL he had ever owned. For 20 years
Stonewal drew q delivery wagon
through Kansas City's streets. He is a
trife swaybacked, and there are gray
spots around his ears; but he Is still
spry and will prance around when he
hears brass band.

ABOUT SURNAMES.
Their Origin of Peculiar Interest to
ANTIGUA ians.

The origin of surnames is full OF
curious interest to the antiquarian, and
some funny examples have been
brought to light by students in this
branch of knowledge. Some of the
names are very queer, and the director
les of every great city furnish many ex-
amples. In Kansas City recently firm
of veterinary surgeons, was composed of
Drs. Black u White, and few years
ago in western Kansas Messrs. Gum &
Saltz conducted drug store. Two
doctors named Hope G. Comfort were
partners in physic, and their sign must
have cheered more than one patient.
Messrs. Tighe and Twist were in the
rope business in an eastern town not
long ago. At one time it was the GUS
tom to christen children with singu-
lar Biblical names like the famous
Praise God Barebones and Hate Evil
Smith, but the most curious one record
ed is that of Eli Lama Sabacthani Press
nail. Mr.. New, residing in England,
very facetiously named his first-born
Something" and when in the course
Of time his wife presented him with an
other heir he christened that one moth
ing" 1t always gave Miss Anguish
Crackbone's friends great pain to pro
nounce her name, and the cognomen Of
Toothaker is not uncommon. Among
the names associated with diseases are
Fits, Cramp, Feversharn, Coicker

OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.
A Georgia Boys Escape from an ALL
gator.

A Georgia Boys Escape from an ALL
gator.
The alligator, as is well known, swal-
lows its prey whole and digests it at
leisure, like many others of the reptile
family. 1t is to this which is given as
fact by the Rome Hustler, Georgia,
that Edward Roland, of that city, owes
his life.
In Ronald's boyhood his paEents
had a winter home in the neighbor-
hood of Sanford, Fla, which is near
Dennis creek, locality which was
then famous for its numerous alliga-
tors. When a little fellow, too young
distinctly to remember the circum-
stances, the boy was out with his ia
Their on the creek shore, and was left
alone for little while, playing with
some pebbles
Suddenly the father heard Edward
scream and ran in his direction. He
reached the spot just in time to see the
little fellow disappearing down the
gaping throat of huge alligator. Mr..
Ronald had his gun in hand, and, quick
ly taking aim at the saurian, fired.
Fortunately, the bullet struck the
brute in the eye, penetrating the brain,
and killed it instantly.
The feet of the boy were still pro-
truding from the reptiles mouth.
The father, not daring to hope that his
son was alive, cut open the alligator,
thinking to obtain the boys remains
for burial.
To Mr.. Roland's delight, the body
showed signs of life, and after several
hours of hard work the boy was re-
suscitated. The only serious injury
was to the ankles, which had been
crushed by the reptiles teeth, doubt
less when in the thToes of death.
Since that time Roland has been
crippled, but only to the extent of
wearing steel braces on his ankles. He
enjoys the unique distinction of hay
ing been almost swallowed by an alli-
gator.

Edmund Carey. of Benton, Is In Il

Edmund Carey, Of Benton, Is In this
city this week attending court. He
was one Of the early residents of
wilkesbarre, and was born Aug. IL,
1922, on farm at the lower end of
town, now known as Carey avenue,
which has been named after the fam
lily. His father, George Carey, was
one of the settlers who had the hand
ling of the first anthracite coal In wy
oming valley. He helped open strip
ping in Pittston township. now known
as Plains township, in 1915, and in the
spring of that year loaded raft with
several others and took 1t down the
Susquehanna to Harrisburg. where
they sold the raftload Of forty tons OF
anthracite for $40 They were discour-
aged at such remuneration and left
the transportation of coal dormant un-
til 1920, when they took another raft
load down and failed to find a buyer.
They were 50 discouraged that they
dumped their load of black diamonds
into the Susquehanna at Harrisburg,
and as far as these early pioneer ship
pers were concerned, the opening up of
a coal market was ended.-Wilkesbarr

then it was another. I mentioned the
matter to an old colored auntie, who
did our laundry work, and she told me
it was because there was no toad frog
in the cellar She said it was good luck
for a new house to have toad in the
cellar and that many builders always
left frog in the cellar when they fin
ished house. AS 1t was such SIM
pie matter to set things right l caught
a toad and put 1t in the cellar, and,
strangely enough, things began run
ming all right Immediately. Since then
my cellar has never been without a
toad frog, and to that extent am su-
perstttious.

ASPHYYTATED BY GAS.
Theresa WeinhaudIer, a Domestic,
Dies in the Night.

Theresa Weinhandler, a domestic
employed at the residence of John
Roeller, 40 Iglehart street, blew out
the gas when she retired Friday night
and yesterday she was found dead
having been asphyXiated. The fate of
the girl was not known until member
Of the household sought to arouse her.
at an early hour yesterday morning
When 1t was discovered that she was
dead Coroner Nelson was at once noti-
fed and made an investigation of the
circumstances surrounding her death
and arrived at the opinion that it was
wholly accidental The girl was eigh-
teen years Of age and had been en-
ployed at the ROeller residence but two
days. Thursday evening Mrs Roeller
showed her how to turn on and off the
gas requiring her to manipulate the
burner in her presence, and warned
the girl against blowing out the flame
1t is thought that she forgot her in
structions Friday evening and extIn-
guished the light without shutting off
the gas. The girl was of a decidedly
cheerful disposition and there is no
ground for the belief that she may have
allowed the gas to escape except
through ignorance.
Miss Weinhandler came to the United
States from Hungary last August and
has no relatives in this country The
funeral arrangements will be attended
to by her late employer.
