DIR. STEMS PLANS.


HALIFAX, N. s.. July 1s.-Dr. Robert
Stein. OF the United States Geodetic Sur
vey, is at Sydney, c. B.. arranging to sail
next week for Ellsmere Land in company
with Mr.. Warman, naturalist and tax
idermist, and DR.. Kahn, physician in charge
of electrical and magnetical observations.
The party expects 10 land at Cape Sabine,
near the camp where Greely's expedition
passed so disastrous a winter. From there
they will make their way to the extreme
known part of the northern coast of Els
mere Land, which Is believed TO be an
island. where they will build a hut and es-
tablish headquarters for the winter. While
open water lasts they will explore the
northern shore westward by boat in search
OF the supposed channel leading to the sea
known to exist to the west Of Ellsmere
Land.
Next spring they propose to continue the
exploration of the northern and western
shore on the ice and trace the coast down
70 Cape Eden, the extreme known southern
port, thus completing present knowledge of
the coast line. They will then return to
Cape Sabine and hope to be picked up there
by the steamer next summer. If for any
reason they fail to connect with the steamer
DR.. Stein proposes to cross the strait TO
the Greenland coast TO the Esquimaux set
tlement which forms the scene of his last
exploration. With the assistance OF the
natives the party will be able to find it's way
to Upernavik, which Is annually visited by
whaling ships from the United States.

Sixth Ohio Volunteers Remember Her
During the War.

TOLEDO, O., July 16.-During the war
with Spain Miss Helen Gould. Of New York.
furnished a number of cots for the soldiers
in Cuba, part of which were received by the
Sixth Ohio Regiment. of this city. The boys
fully appreciated the generosity and pa
triotic gift of Miss Gould and they at once
decided to show their regard for her. The
corporals Of each company commenced the
raising of funds among the men, and with
this money a magnificent medal will be
bought and presented to Miss Gould. The
design for the medal is a miniature %canteen,
on one side of which will be engraved:
Presented to Miss Helen Gould by the
enlisted men of the Sixth Ohio" and In
recognition of the patriotism of an Ameri-
can woman"
On the other side of the medal will ap-
pear a miniature tent showing the cots In
stead of the usual bare floor tent. The boys
started the fund in Cuba, but the officers
did not hear of it until to-day.

LOCKJAw BAFFLES SKILL.
Boys Die in Agony i'm Spite of the
Serum Treatment.
New York Tribune.

The extraordinary number Of cases of
lock1aw caused by injuries received in cele-
brating the Fourth this year attracts atten-
ton in every part of the country. Every
day adds TO the number of deaths and of
those afflicted with the disease, which is one
of terrible agony. DR.. Gerardus II. Wynn
koop, In speaking OF the disease yesterday,
said:
Heretofore there nave been but few
cases of tetanus in this city or neighbor-
hood, but the south shore of Long island has
been peculiarly afflicted by ii, especially
about Great South bay, where there have
been a Larger number of cases in the last
twenty-five years than in any other locality
hereabouts. So great has been the tendency
TO lockjaw there that IN injury such as the
cutting OF ones foot while in bathing would
cause great nervousness until sufficient time
had elapsed to preclude the possibility of
lockJaw. / cannot account for the large
number or cases at present, nor do / know
OF any one who can. L do not understand
where tetanus first received the name OF
lockjaw, as there is no more reason for
calling Ii that than there Is for calling the
hoarseness of the throat that accompanies
hydrophobia barking.
"Tetanus when IL appears usually follows
a torn wound, but seldom a clean cut one.
The larcerated condition OF the flesh gives
lodgment TO dirt carrying the germ, or else
the germ enters by atmospheric contact.
The poison is wholly expended on the
nervous system, so that the sufferer passes
into commissions and remains so until death

In an address before the Terre Haute
Commercial Club on the topic of Max
ing a City President Fortune, Of the In

certain critical which should re-
celve the attention of that type of st.
Louisan now engaged in discouraging the
efforts of worlds fair workers
Scratch the back OF a boosted conserva-
tive citizen says Mr.. Fortune, and you
are apt to find something like moss" Then,
after picturing the 'snail-like conservatism
which contents and comforts itself within its
SHE'LL he truthfully asserts: The man
who does things and makes mistakes is more
useful to the world and is a better citizen
than the man who makes no mistakes and
does nothing. The do-nothing men do not
the pace is too swift for them"
Against this type of satisfied stagnation
Mr.. Fortune sets in contrast that opposite
type, the public-spirited citizen who works
for the good OF his city. One such man, he
says, can accomplish wonders in overcom-
ing unfortunate conditions in a city. All
great movements start from an idea put
forth originally by some person. The high
est duty of the citizen Is not merely the
duty that the law requires from him, but
the service that he voluntarily renders for
deavor to give some of his time to work Of
this kind. The noblest man 1 have ever
known was the most useful citizen / have
life gave generously his time. his thought
and his money to projects for the better
ment of his city and State"
1t would be better if worlds fair croakers
should incline their minds to profit by prac-
teal teaching like this and so develop from
worlds fair croakers into worlds fair work
ers. 1t would be ever better for themselves
than for the worlds fair. The latter is sure
TO succeed. whether they help or not. When
success does come IL will be right humiliat-
ing for the conservatives" to remember
that all they did was to withdraw into their
shells and predict failure when they should
have been working for success.
