The two steamers met at Etah. Az.
gust 18th, and worked In company nm.
der the personal direction OF LAeuten-
ant Peary In collecting supplies for
the winter and the equipment for next
springs campaign. The Windward
was ice-bound In Altman bay, on the
west side Of Kane Basin, about nfty
miles north OF Cape Sabine, from An.
gust 10, 1893, to August 2, 1889. being
in sort Of eddy, undisturbed by wind
or current. The season was one OF con-
tinuous calm, with little snow, tho
minimum temperature at the ship Do
ing 70 degrees below zero. AL the
Windward's company, including ten
EsQuimaux, We're exempt from Illness,
accident or casualty Of any kind.
Lieutenant Peary and the sledge par
ties were in the field almost continu-
ously from October, 1898, to August
Of this year, and have effected an e1-
traordinary amount Of important work
not only bearing on the future OF his
own expedition, but adding much to
the geographical knowledge of the
coast line and the interior of Elles-
mere Land, the southern portion Of
Grinnel Land. His sledglng journey
aggregated more than 1000 miles, not
Including several trips repeated over
portions Of the track.
Az soon as the young ice could bear
sledge, Lieutenant Peary made a
careful reconnaissance of the coast line
southwest OF Altman bay, and careful
~ defined the lands and water be-
tween that point and Cape Sabine. The
coast line of Princess Marie Bay and
Buchanan Straits, heretofore unknown,
was accurately defined, and Hayes
sound was demonstrated to be myth.
This work completed, Lieutenant
Peary next made several successful
hunting trips and laid in an ample sup
ply of fresh meat, including musk
oxen, seals and birds, for the winter.
Utilizing the December moon, he sledg-
ed along the ice for twenty-five miles
north, over almost impossible ice, to
Fort Conger, the headquarters Of the
Greedy expedition. He had the mis-
fortune to have both feet frost-bitten,
which necessitated six weeks delay
and confinement until he could make
the return trip. Lashed to a sledge,
he was hauled all the way to Wind
ward. where several toes were ampu-
tated. Complete recovery followed rap
idly and he now walks as well as ever.
Lieutenant Peary found Fort Con-
ger exactly as Greedy left 1t. The Ia
BILE was standing from the last meal
and all the other appointments had re-
manned undisturbed for sixteen years.
The buildings were in fair condition,
though some of them would not be ser.
viceable much longer. He took posses
sion Of the property, real and person
al, in the name of the United States
government and posted notices to that
effect. He brought away, and 10 send
ing home, the original Greedy records,
the sextant of Lieutenant Beaumont,
Il. N, of the Hares- Markham expedi-
ton of 1868, recovered by Lieuten-
ant Lockwood, and many private let
tiers and papers Of members of the
Greedy party, all Of which are to be
forwarded to the Peary Arctic Club Of
New York. A considerable quantity
Of provisions were also found and pro-
tected for future expeditions.

kennes, Sept. s.-Coionel Jouaus.,
president of the court, this morning
took the most important decision yet
taken In the Dreyfus trial, and took
it entirely upon his own responsibility,
although he is undoubtedly only the
mouthpiece Of the whole body of
Judges. His decision to exclude the
testimony of Colonel Schwartzkoppen
and Major Panizzardi was most sig
nificant, as 1t meant that the court bad
already reached a conclusion and that
the pleadings of counsel were merely a
waste Of time and might be dispensed
with ii they were not a necessity.
The court has made up Its mind, but
which way? This is the view point and
forms the sole topic of discussion.
Both sides are equally confident that
the court will decide in accordance
with their views.

At the Vulcan ship yards, stettin,
Germany, is now building the largest
steamship in the world, "Die Deutsch-
land" She is 800 feet long, 81 feet
beam and a feet depth of hold. With
bunkers and ballast tanks filled she
will draw 20 feet of water. Her coal
bunkers will carry 5000 tons. She will
have two six-cylindered quadruple ex-
pansion engines Of an aggregate capa-
city of $1,000 horse power. Twelve
double and four single boilers will sup
ply steam at 30 pounds pressure. The
contract calls for speed of twenty.
three knots per hour. and 1t is expect
ed that she will make twenty-five
knots, or about twenty-eight and a half
miles per hour on her trial trip. Five
dynamos will supply the necessary cur
rent for lighting.

EXPORT EXPOSITION.
Opening of An Inporta.t Eatsrpsiss -

Opening of an ImportAat Eatsfpriss ~
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE Nation
al Export Exposition will be opened At
noon Thursday next and remain open,
Sundays excepted, until November 80.
Less than five months ago the first
spade full Of dirt was turned up for
the foundation Of the superb buildings
which have since been completed at q
cost Of more than nillien dollars.
This splendid exhibition of American
enterprise and quickness IL in itself an
indication of the scope and character
Of the exposition, and the vast audi
forum In which the opening ceremo-
ton of the largeness Of the undertake
ing. Although magnificent music
hall, with an amphitheater large
enough to accommodate an audience
of 5000 people, 1t forms but a part Of
the enormous main buildings of the
exposition.
The conception of the idea Of an ex-
hibition to illustrate the astonishing
growth of the export trade Of the Unit
ed States In recent years was the out
growth of the tour Of the representa-
tives Of various foreign governments
who came here to study our industries
in 1897. The result was thus inaugur-
ated In an exhibition of American
trade movement and mechanical and
art enterprises Of a most surprising
and interesting character.
The display Of manufactured prod
ucts which have present or contem-
plated foreign market Is complete and
the methods Of manufacture showing
the progress in the making and COM
pletion of needle or cuff button, or
a giant locomotive, or great bridge,
will be ever before the eyes In varied
and almost endless succession. The
beauty and extent of the buildings
themselves compare with the best prod
ucts of the Centennial Exposition or
the Chicago Worlds Fair.
The government, in addition to a
large appropriation towards the build
ings themselves, has expended $4,000
In the selection Of samples from
abroad of wares. business data and
samples, which form an exhibit not
only Of value to the business man but
Of absorbing interest to the mere curl
GUS Of the general public.

Mrs. Osborn has always been dis
tinguished in society for the beauty of
her costumes. No one knows the opin-
ions and habits of women of ample
means and opportunities better than
she. She says that her friends who al
ways insist on having the best, will
have nothing to do with any remedy
but Paines celery compound. And this
is not surprising when one stops to con-
slider the thousands of letters that are
constantly being received by the pro-
prietors of this great remedy, and by
newspapers and medical journals, as
well as from men and women in every
walk of life, all telling one experiences:
the immediate relief and perfect cure
affected by it.
The best physicians openly endorse
and recommend Paine's celery COM
pound, authorizing the public use Of
their statements that Paine's celery
compound, in case after case, cures
rheumatism and kindred diseases, puri-
fies the blood, regulates the stomach,
liver bowels and kidneys, and rejuven-
ates the fagged-out or diseased nerv-
Gus system when everything else fails.
