Brain Insurance.

No man would ferl secure if his livelihood
entirely depended the grey matter in the
Uranium Of even his best friend, unless he
had the brain insured. Brain insurance is
the most important indemnity known to
man. When the brain stops the insurance
begins. The advertisement of The Mutual

becomes inactive and furnishes support for
the life OF the benefactor, should death occur.

Neiaton's Remedy For Rheumatism
Is Curing Thousands.

Within the past half year, when Nelaton' s
Remedy for Rheumatism was brought to
public attention in this section, the sales
have doubled almost every month. The fact
that in not one case in a thousand is it neces-
sary to refund the mone-which is ALWAYS
done wherever Nelatons Remedy fails to
cure-gives people who suffer from rheuma-
tism and kindred ills a confidence in this
great medicine which has induced thousands
to try it, and find the relief 1t will surely
give.

He TINS enpha sizes the necessity Of providing
food not only for man but also for beast. Stlli,
keen as is his disappointment. he can at least
console himself with the knowledge that other
exnlorers have been almest equally uniucky.
Peary has cached provisions at many points
between Etah and Fort Conger, and thus mate
rially lessened the risk to human life. Yet even
this veteran failed TO reach the Pole last April.
largely because his dogs gave out within ten
days of starting from the base of operations.
Stein makes no allusion to Dedricks desire to
stay in the Arctic another year. But as the
latter is even more poorly equipped for explora-
ton than was Stein one cannot avoid enter
taining grave misgivings as to his fate. That
he will be able to reach the Pole is apparently
out of the question. Indeed. he will be lucky if
he ever gets home alive. There is another phase
of this subject, too which it is not pleasant to
contemplate. When Stein went north on one OF
Peary's relief ships his mission was definitely
outlined. And he has remained faithful to his
programme Dedrick started out as a subordi-
nate member of Pearys expedition, but now
adopts policy which was not foreseen at the
outset. His resignation and demand to be left
at Etah, while perhaps open to other interpre
tatiens, have been construed as indicating that
lie means to try to find the Pole himself. Had
Dedrick returned to the United States before
undertaking such a campaign, no one could
properly question his right to explore the Arctic
to his hearts content. But TO play the role of
rival without first doing so is different matter
To take advantage of transportation obtained
with the tacit understanding that he would
remain loyal to his chief looks like breach of
faith And the mere formaity of a resigna-
ton, while still staying in Greenland will not
altogether shield him from that imputation.

IN TWO HTNTTESP

Cresceus, the champion trotter of the world,
failed to reduce his record of 2:O2A when he
made the effort last week in Philadelphia. 1t is
not now likely that even the smallest fraction
of a second will be cut from that magnificent
exploit of 2:02A until the trotting horses come
out for the battles and the laurels of 1902 That
Is providing the timers watches are accurate,
that the official timers themselves con-
scicntious and that all the conditions are looked
after with such care that there is no chance of
error. The two minutes trotter is still in the
background, although it is not impossible that
Cresceus will reach that mark next season
This year he has so far exceeded his previous
flights of speed and has done so we'll that he
may make further brilliant progress in the sec
ond twelyemonth of the new century, and IL Is
not altogether visionary hope that he may set
the seal upon his greatness and trot a mile in
a round half dozen scores Of seconds. Never
theless, il would be foolish to estimate lightly
the arduous nature of the task set before any
trotting horse that strives 30 move five thou
sand two hundred and eighty feet in fair
square trot in n round two minutes.
Few generations have gone by since the trOt
ter which could compass mile in two minutes
and half was one OF the wonders of the world
The two-thrty trotters in these days are of no
great value. In comparison with CreseeHs, The
Abbot, Boralma, Lord Derby and others which
might be named they are not much better than
snails. But when the achievements of the
cracks" which have records under 2o6 are
considered, then the possibilities of reaching
the goal of two minutes become fascinating
fields Of study. The fastest PAGERS are a few
seconds In advance of the fastest tfotters. The
side wheel" gait has more than held fits own
against the artificial and trained movement of
the trot But pacing has too much Of the alloy
OF the run and the gallop. The true American
trot is the action to stick TO- after all I'm the chief
triumphs of the harnessed horses, which are
driven and not ridden.
Is the two minutes trotter In sight? II he is
In sight he is an American horse. No other
country can even approach this republic, much
less rival IT, in the speed OF troters and PAGERS.
II the two minutes trotter looms on the horizon
II is almost certain he is Cresceus and no other.
He is In his prime, and higher distinctions than
he has yet garnered may await him next sea-
The Abbot may go downhll II may he
that he touched the mountain top of his climb
ing before John ]. Scannell bought him, and
II may he that he must descend the other slope
of the ridge. VIII Cresceus cover a mile In two
minutes? If any horse now in training can he
can. But not this year with correct timing.
And 1t may he feat beyond his powers in any
year.

TWO TRAGEDIES.

The most pitiful, the most peryerse, and, as
IT should be, the most impressyely instructive
OF all contrasts in human tragedies is that
which now hastens to its final scene. 1t would
nave been grateful relief to let the curtain fall
forever upon 1t with the passing of righteous
sentence against the despieabe wretch who
brought II all about But power mere strong
than inclination or cesire dictates a moral
which all the world may proftably heed.
Only few days ago President Mckinley died.
and the whole world stood in prayerful suspense
and sympathy about his bed and In inconsolable
sorrow about his bier. Never in human history
was the death OF a man more universally la
New-York tribune., 1901-09-29

nepted Never not even by Socrates, was
death more noby met All that tender sym
patby and reverence and spiritual majesty
could lend TO glorify the scene was there Apart
from the pain and the wckedness OF the caths-
trophe. there is no man so ready and so re-
signed but that he might well envy Mckinney
his death. and echo the prayer of Balaam,
LET my death be like his.' 1t was a scene
upon which, despite its sadness, the thoughtful
mind must dwell with chastened gratitude, de-
voutly thankful that great a spiritual vic
tory was possible TO mortal man.
Look here upon this picture, and on this.
The miserable author of a national woe stands
appalled, at the mischief he has wrought. He
owns TO the hideous magnitude of his mistake.
He has not word to offer in self-exculpation.
Amid the teeming multitudes of earth he stands
isolated in the internal loneliness of universal
execration. Or if he is not altogether execrated
1t is because his very meanness let's half pity
ing contempt usurp the place of the more strenu-
GUS passion. And so the most abJect the most
despised the most loathed creature in the world
is borne from the bar of justice to the cell of
death collapsing in utter ignominy.
Let fall the curtain on the pitiable, the abomi-
nable scene Yet it is well that some memories
of it should live in human minds 1t would be
well if those anarchists and militant socialists
who plot assassination and laud it as an act of
heroism should forever remember how this an
archist received the sentence of his doom. a
fine thing it seems to them, under the lnclte-
ment of drink and of brute applause, to rant
about 1.-The cause" and about the glory of serv-
ing it in deed" and to send some wretched
"comrade" forth to do the deed. But what is
it to stand where this stood, and stands?
Do the Mosts and Goldmans and their tribe
envy such fate as his? Do they envy the utter,
abject terror and the irremedable remorse
which now torture that fallen soul? And well
will it be, too. for the incorporate clamorers
of an unbridled press TO mark and to remember
this sequel to their sensational fulminatlons.
Remember what this murderer was in his trial
and what he is in his cell No glory, no hero
ism, no applause, no sympathy, no martyrdom'
no sustaining sense of self-approyal. Nothing
but infinite horror and remorse within and uni
versal detestation and contempt without. Is
there another anarchist who desires such
fate? Is there an agitator who would incite
even his worst foe to seek 1t?

DIR. STEMS STORY.

Although DR.. Stein did not accomplish the
main object OF his visit to the arctic regions
the account of the enterprise which The Tribune
has the exclusive privilege of printing today Is
instructive in many ways. The expedition which
the young geologist organized for the expIora
ton of Flesmere Land was unique in some par

Esquimaus and ship of his own like Peary
Nor when he was set ashore at Cape Sabine, in
1899, had he any positive assurance of convey
ance home the following year, or even the year
after. Several parties had previously gone up
te that neighborhood on Peary's supply and
mail ships for q few weeks of botanical, geo
logical or other scientific investigation; but they
had always returned the same season, and by
the same vessel Stein and his two companions,
on the other hand, deliberately planned to stay
through at least one winter. and in surviving
the periis which inevitably attend an adventure
of such a character they were more fortunate
than many men who have visited the Arctic
under more promising auspices.
For this good fortune Stein is largely indebted
Peary, and to the kindness of the Scotch whalers
who supplied him with food when. a year ago
last spring, he came down to Cape York for a
short time. During STEMS second year in Eles-
mere Land he had the WIndward for neigh
Dor, that vessel having found 1t necessary to
establish winter quarters in Payer Harbor close
TO Cape Sabine.
