News from Lieut.. Peary. the interpid

steamer Erik, which left Cape Sabin

and at Cape Washington, the headland
seen by Lockwood Is miles north in
1882, another cairn was erected. and \
copy OF the farthest north record and
additional memoranda were deposited
Peary and his companion, Henson. and
five Esqumos pushed on to $3.50 de.

coast at that point to trend rapidly
eastward. Here on the most northerly

was able to advance only to $3.50 de-

miles beyond Lockwood's furthest
explorations to latitude SO north, long

young daughter went to Greenland

to the Windward Peary learned for the

The Facts of the Case.
I From the Barre Times. !

1t is the height of nonsense to point
to Will Lords ruin as the fruit of the
Vermont prohibitory law" as has been
done. Will Lord acquired his insati-
able appetite for liquor years before
the enforcement of the law was seri-
ously thought of where he lived in
Montpelier, and in other places where
there was no prohibitory law. Then
again one of the weakest of claims for
the present Vermont law is that it
saves the young men from temptation.
Any young man who has spirit and
life enough to ever get a living will
find himself sooner or later and fire.
quently tempted to drink and If he
hasn't the backbone and strength of
character to save himself he is can
didate for ruin or at least for endless
trouble to himself and his family
whether it is in prohibition Vermont
or under ,the whiskey-cursed regime
of Kentucky. In actual results a
pound of self-restraint is worth a ton

Goldman May be Brought to Barre
for Trial.
Vermont has its band of anarchists
In the city of Barre is an organization
of the most radical order made up of
those who have naturally drifted into
that city from the parts of Italy in
the wake of granite cutters. The To-
cal authorities have experienced more
or less trouble with them for several
years, but of late they have been
especially demonstrative, holding reg
ular meetings and defying efforts to
restrain them. Less than year ago
a murderous attack was made on
Chief of Police Smith, who was try
ing to quell one of their riotous meet
ings, he being seriously shot. Sew
eral are now serving sentences for
participation in the ARRAY. Soon after
the assassination of the king of Italy
United States secret service officers
spent some time in looking up the
band for the purpose of ascertaining
If any of the local anarchists had any
connection with Bresci and his CON
federates, and since then the band
has been carefully watched. 1t is
known that Emma Goldman was in
Barre about a year ago and delivered
several characteristic addresses prior
to the attack on the chief of police,
which the authorities are satisfied led
to the outbreak. The grand jury of
Washington county, now in session, is
considering evidence against her for
aiding and abetting the assault, and it
is probable that an indictment will be
found and that she will be brought to
Vermont for trial unless she is wanted
for completely in the assassination of
President Mckinley. 1t is stated that
soon after it was known that an at
tack had been made on the President
at Buffalo an all-night jubilation was
held by the Barre anarchists and that
the leader dramatically drawing a dirk
boastfully regretted that he was not
the assassin. 1t is understood that
local officials will use all their au
thority to rid the city and state of the
gang. Some are in favor of stringent
state laws regulating the control of
anarchists, and it is probable that the
next session of the Legislature will
deal directly with the problem
