A Race to the North role.

After the disastrous failure of some
attempts a few years since to reach
the North Pole it was predicted that
efforts to penetrate the polar mys-
terry would be abandoned. So far
from this prediction being realized,
there are now more expeditions than
ever in the Arctic, on the way there
or preparing to start, each having the
pole for it's real objective, although
not all are avowedly bound for that
point
Seven nations are competing for the
chilling honor of highest north"
Peary represents the United States,
and there is a bare possibility that
he has already won the prize, though
whether he will return to prove his
claim is uncertain. Evelyn B. Bald
win also represents the United States,
and has set out with a firm purpose
to push on to the Pole. Admiral Mar
akoff is also on his way with the for
midable ice breaking steamer Ermak,
which flies the Russian flag. The Ger
man Captain Banendahl is somewhere
near Spitzbergen, and the Swedish
explorer, Otto Sverdrup, is in Ellis
mere land both of these experienced
Arctic explorers being ready to avail
themselves Of any favorable oppor-
tunity to make a dash to the Pole.
The other aspiranr for polar honors
are Capt. ]. E. Bernier of England
DR.. Brithjof hansen Of Norway, and
the Duke of Abruzzi, Italy.
Possibly one or other Of these may
solve the mystery of the Pole. It may
be that the failure of some of them
to return may add more mysteries to
those which darken the pages Of Arc

OUR GEOGRAPHIC NAMES.

Spelling and Form in Many Gases Estab-
lished by the State Constitution.
A number of newspapers have
taken up the remarks of The Eagle
with reference to the action of the
board Of geographic names. There
is. however, one aspect of the matter
which has been generally overlooked,
and that is in the case of every inn
portant place there is an official name,
established by authority, and nothing
but the same authority can change
that name. The constitution of the
state of New York names it's differ
ent counties. The legislature may
erect a new county, and in that case
give it a name, otherwise the name
in the constitution is the official
name. The county of Duchess is
spelled Duchess" Anybody who
changes it by dropping the It," or in
any other way, attempts to set up his
authority over that of the constitution
OF the state, and what he does is I'M
lawful and absurd.
The charter of the city of Pough-
keepsie gives its name spelled as we
always spell it. People can abbre-
viate it if they wish to. We regret
to say that we made the discovery
recently that several respected and
esteemed students of Vassar college
were in the habit of writing it"Poky,"
and yra cuppOeo fboro i- ~ 1ouy n
punish them for doing so, but even
in their most exuherant moments we
do not believe any of them thought
they were really giving the name of
the place when they spelled it that
way. The charter of the city of New
burgh spells it with an "h" on the
end. The name of the village of
New Paltz has capital P and is two
separate words.
There are doubtless a good many
little postofflces scattered all over the
country which have no name but that
given by the postofice department
and there the board of geographic
names has the right to dictate the
spelling and the form. 1t is in real
ity an adjunct of the postofice de-
partment. If it had confined it's work
to such postofices nobody could have
objected, but it has no power to touch
the name of state, a county, a city,
or an incorporated village. State au-
thority, recognized by all departments
of the government as supreme, has
settled the question so far as such
names are concerned, and neither the
board nor the department which APP
pointed it, nor the president nor the
United States government itself has
any control over the matter whatever,

Chinese Nerves.

The Chinese have no idea of what
Americans mean by comfort. We
wear hats at all seasons. They ask
why we should wear hat in suTimer
any more than heavy gloves. ia the
sun is too hot and you are delicate,
there is always the umbrella; if it is
too cold, there is always the hood. In
"Chinas Open Door," Mr.. Rounse-
velle Wildman says that there is abb
solutely no standard of comparison
between the Chinese and the Ameri-
can.
In discussing the economics of the
Chinese, there is no place where you
can stop. Nothing is lost. Every an
imal is eaten, regardless of the cause
of his demise. The sardine and fruit
cans that we extravagantly throw into
the dump are born again as tin cups
and cooking utensils. The weed that
cannot be eaten is used as fuel with
which TO cook the weed that may be
edible. In autumn the leavesl of trees
are gathered by children who are too
young to labor, and pounded into
bricks and dried for their winter fuel.
It may be put down as an axiom
that there are no idle people in Chi
ma. A visitor in Canton or Pekin
may be struck with many cases OF
coolies or shopkeepers sleeping in the
street or in their stalls, regardless
of the deafening babble that SURROUNDS
them. 1t is not idleness, however; it
is habit that is responsible for much
of the endurance of the people.
The Chinese sleep when they have
nothing else to do; and they sleep the
sleep of the just where a well bred Eu
ropean dog would not be able to gel
so much as a ''catnap." They car
sleep or work in any position, and
keep it up for hours at timd. A ner

TOOK HER OWN LIFE.

Hortense Debras, French woman
whose life appears to have been fraught
with trouble, ended her existence,
sometime during Friday night or early
Saturday morning by jumping into the
Susquehanna River Her lifeless body
was discovered BY Robert Long Satur-
day about ten o'clock, caught fast to
one of the fish hooks of an outline
which he had setting in the river.
The woman for some time had been
employed as a domestic in the family
Of Deputy Prothonotary Rush Zarr.
Previous toh her appearance in Blooms
burg, she had been wandering through
Roaiingcreek Valley, begging from
house to house, until she was arrested
as vagrant, and committed to the
County Jail. During her incarcera-
tion, she lnvinced a desire TO work
and she was allowed to assist in the
family Of the Sheriff. When granted
her liberty she entered the employ of
Mr.. Zarr, as above stated.
She bad determined on this plan Of
ending her life, as she had on several
different occasions, while at the Jail,
and also to members of,he Zarr house
hold, expressed herself to that eff.
feet. Early last week she went
down to the river tor that pur-
pose, but returned, saying the water
was too muddy. She was rather
reticent regarding her early life. She
did however disclose the fact that she
was married and that her husband
resided in France. She had been
estranged from him for many years.
The case has a sad tinge. Pervert
and foolish though her path through
lite has been, she had wandered from
her native country, home and friends,
stranger in a strange land, she had
become melancholy, and ended her
misery in death.
Undertaken Baker took charge of
the body and prepared it for burial.

No Cause for Such Complaint Here.

"Sooner or later some indignant
man or woman will arise in his or her
wrath and will smite the cable car
conductor hip and thigh-in the neck
would perhaps be more. effective" said
a resident of town down the river,
to the writer as we boarded a trolley
car to 60 over to town on the OPP
posite side of the Susquehanna Mon
day morning last. He then continu-
ed. "The people here have patiently
submitted to all sorts of outrages at
the hands of conductors. But there
is limit to everything, and to use an
Irishism the straw that broke the
camers back is the filthy condition oil
the conductors on this llne." We
concuned with him and suggested
that the Board of Health be notified.
Clothing and person, they were dis
gusJingly unclean. They certainly
belong to the anti-wash brigade.
There is no cause for such CON-
plant in Bloomsburg. The Columbia
and Montour conductors ard motor
men are well dressed and courteous.

Labor Day at Danville.

Danville's Labor Day celebration
was rouser and a grand success in
every way. There was a general shut
down in the industries and business
places of the town, and the whole
populace entered into the spirit of
the occasion. The town had on Its
holiday attire. Flags futtered from
the buildings, and arches Of ever
green, containing "Welcome, Sir
Knights" and other appropriate in
scrlptions, were erected over the
principal streets The street demon
stration was beftting the occasion,
and for beauty of appearance and
length has probably never been sur
passed in that city, certainly not on
any previous Labor Day demonstra-
ton.
There were five prizes awarded {:
Twenty five dollars in gold to the
Williamsport Commandery, as show.
ing the best drill five dollars in gold
to the Williamsport Castle, as one

TIE BURGESS VETO
Did Not Prevent The Passage Of the Columbia
and Montour Electric Railway
Ordinance.

1t looks now as if the matter of the
electric railway for Catawlssa is settled
for keeps. The Council for that
Borough assembled in special meeting
Monday night and by vote of six to
one passed the ordinance granting
the right Of way to the Columbia and
Montour Company over the head of
Burgess Sharpless, who had vetoed
the ordinance after it had been
adopted unanimously by the Council
Friday evening, August 23rd
The meeting Tuesday night, though
brief, was not devoid OF interest. The
dlaloglsm OF two gentlemen waxed
quite warm and it was feared that there
would be something doing" but the
meeting was adjourned and all de-
parted in peace, if not in good humor.
1t is altogether likely that work on
the line from here to Catawissa will
be commenced sometime late in the
fall.

The trustees of the Normal School
have recentld selected as the person
to succeed Professor Warren H. Det-
wller, professor of History, who
resigned to accept position in the
Manual Training High School, Of
Philadelphia, Dr. Paul F. Peck, of
Chicago University. DR.. Peck is a
graduate of Iowa College 81. The
year following he studied law at the
Iowa State University, and in the
spring of 'oS he became fellow IN
the University of Chicago, where he
entered on graduate study, choosing
as his subject History and Political
Science. At the recent commence
ment exercises of the University he
received the degree Of Doctor of
Philosophy.
He has had number of positions
offered to him, among them one to
remain in the University as an assist
ant, but he decided to accept the
chair of Historyin the Normal School,
as he looks upon 1t as affording him a
wider field of usefulness and better
opportunities for advancement.
During his course of study he con-
Quoted classes OF city school teachers
in the Teachers College of the
University, and during the past spring
term had charge of the History In
Dearborn Seminary, Chicago. The
success of his work in these positions
is shown by the fact that he was urged
to continue in both.
While investigating DR.. Peck's fit.
ness for the position, inquiries were
sent to mrny persons who had been
associated with him in his college and
university work, and without exception
they endorsed him in the biggest
terms, both as to his scholarship and
teaching ability, and also as to his
character and personality. The follow
ing reply from DR.. Benjamin Terry,
Chief of the department of History in
the University of Chicago, fttingly
represents him:
"Your favor of the I2th forwarded
to me here at Fiheld.
In reply let me say that believe
that Mr.. Peck has all the qualifications
necessary to the making of teacher
of high order. He IS not only a
student of more than usual attainment,
but he possesses also the gift of I'M
partatlon. He thinks clearly, expresses
himself easily and effectively, and has
moreover, peculiarly gentle and
sympathetic manner which will win
the confidence and affection of his
pupils. While he is ambitious and
full of sane energy, he is'also mature
and practical, and will quickly adap,
himself to the grade of his classes
You need have no fears Of failure ir
this direction, or any other. He il
the kind of man to win his way. We
have had few students who have
given better evidence Of fitness OF
quality"
