Feats I'm Mountaineering.

The greatest height ever reached by
a climber in mountaineering is 25,314
feet, which was the height reached by
Captain Lawson in his climb up Mount
Hercules, IN New Guinea. In January,
1897, Mr.. E. A. FitZgerald's Swiss guide
Zurbriggen, reached the summit of Ac-
Oncagua, the highest peak of the Andes
and about $4,000 feet in height. Mr..
W. w. Graham, with two Swiss guides,
in November, 1888, assembled Mount
Kabru, peak that rises to a height
of 23,500 feet above the sea level, in
the western portion OF the Himalayas,
the range of mountains that forms the
northern boundary OF India. Sir Will
liam Martin Conway, during his Ka-
rakoram expedition, assembled on the
31st of July, 1892, height Of 10000
feet. which he named Crystal peak,
and on the 25th of August a point 3d.
600 feet high, which he named Pioneer
peak. On the Andes range Of noun
tains. in South America, Mr.. Edward
Whymper, on the 3rd of January, 1880,
reached height on ChimbCrazo (per-
petually snOw-clad) Of 20,545 feet, and

height OF $500 feet on Cotopaxi. the

Admiral Dewey Object of Largest Demonstration
in New York's History.

Admiral Dewey on Friday for the
first time in his career completely ca
pitulated. but it was to an overwhelm-
ing force. Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck
of New York formally accepted the sur
render, and in the presence of the larg-
est feet ever assembled in New York
waters turned the pre-eminent hero Of
the Spanish war over to his captors-
100000 patriotic Americans.
Then followed the most imposing
naval spectacle New York or America
has known-the greatest demonstra-
ton ever given in honor of an Ameri-
can warrior With hills, buildings,
streets and parks black with cheering
admirers, with every sea-going craft
in the harbor weighted down under the
maximum burden of humanity, this is
what modest George Dewey said to the
expressions OF praise voiced for the
nation by Mayor Van Wyck:
'Of course it would be needless for
me to attempt to make a speech. but
my heart appreciates all that you have

Reea Claaed Him.

La Crosse (Wis.) Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean: John Martinez of this city had
a terrible experience with bees that
may cost him his life. He was at
tackled by two swarms, and they kept
at him so persistently that he was
forced to seek refuge in the Mississippi
river, but few rods distant. The bees
pursued him and he plunged headiong
into the water, only showing enough
of his face above water to give him
opportunity to breathe from time to
time. Finally the bees flew away after
Mantinek had been in the water more
than an hour. He returned to his
home, and the doctors found on his
face, neck and hands over 100 distinct
bee stings. He is in a critical condi-
ton.

Admiral Dewey returned the mayors

states and the official guests of New
York He gripped the hands of Chaun-
cey NJ Depew, Richard Croker, Seth
Low and a score of other well-known
men; shook hands with near 1000 or
more. and returned to the Olympia to
receive at long and short range the
long pent up cheers of mighty multi
tude, the like of which has seldom
gathered on this continent.

admiral to realize lis popularity.

hung an ever changing, never-ceasing
cloud of color. fluttering. ragged I'M

From the blue four-starred emblem

This was a lOng-range welcome, for
the public could not surge in on the

the admiral did not escape so easily.

boarded the police boat Patrol at
West Fortieth street and took Adj
miral Dewey off the Olympia. They
landed him at the battery about
o'clock. Troop A escorted the admiral
up Broadway to the city hall. Here he
was met by the mayor and the city's
guests and the mayor presented to him
the city's loving cup, while school chill
dren sang patriotic songs and waved
flags.
Without loss OF time the admiral, the
mayor and the city's guests were then
escorted in carriages to the Warren
street pier, where the Sandy Hook was
in readiness to carry them to West

where they landed and took their
places In the land parade. Breakfast
was served on the Sandy Hook.
