snow and ice all about" y y.
AS is we'll known, although not quite
SO high as Popocatapetl, Ixtaccihuatl
is much more difficult of ascent, and
while the former mountain is becom-
ing favorite for the mountain climb
ing feats of tourists the latter has all
along enjoyed an immunity from such
excursions which causes it to hold a
prestige and dignity which old Popo
has long since lost.
The story of the ascent as detailed
by Mr.. Dedi, is one of more than pass
ing interest. The party which left this
city Saturday morning consisted of
Messrs. Hahn, Cervel, Groth, Wuns-
che, Bachase and Dedi. Leaving
Amecameca, where they were met by
guides with pack horses for the pro-
visions and blankets. the mountain
climbers set out at once along the
rough trail, and at dusk arrived at the
cave Just below the edge of the snow
line. There they stopped for the night
although sleep was practically impos-
sible on account of the great cold, the
thermometer registering during the
night two degrees below zero. At $50
o'clock they again set forth on the as
cent, continuing on horseback for half
an hour, until they came to the foot
of the first glacier where the steeds
were left behind and the remainder of
the ascent was made toilsomely, step
by step, on foot.
Although the guides had emphati-
cally protested at the outset that they
knew the way well and were fully Ca
pable of taking the party to the sum-
init, yet when they reached the gla-
cier they admitted that they had never
ben up the mountain before and that
they were as ignorant of the way as
the others. They were also poorly
equipped to withstand the cold, their
bare feet being shod in sandals only,
and their clothing being scant
From the first, steps had to be cut
in the ice with hatchets, from the very
beginning of the glacier to the summit.
One by one the guides fell out, until
but three reached the summit, and of
the original party, Mr.. Bachasss was
early in the trip compelled to stop, be-
ing seized with a fit of mountain sick

ness, and remained until the return Of
the others. ..
BY 1910 o'clock in the morning the
party finally reached the summit
EVERY one of us was nearly ex-
hausted," says Mr.. Dedi. 'I have
climbed to greater recorded heights, but
never with the same effort and feel
of exhaustion. The pulsations of our
hearts averaged las per minute, and
we were compelled to move slowly and
with the utmost caution, for the slight
est quick motion would urge our hearts
to such pulsations that we would fall
with dizziness right in our tracks.
1.-THE sun, too was a source of great
discomfort, beating down upon our
heads like flames from blast furnace,
and rejecting on the ice at our feet,
striking our faces in heat waves that
felt almost like being beaten with red
hot hammers. The skin peeled off our
faces and hands, our lips cracked and
bled, and our eyes seemed bursting
from our heads.
1--WE stayed but twenty minutes at
the summit, just long enough to look
about on the beautiful scenery and
take number of photographs, one Of
them being of the summit of Popo-
catapetl, plainly discernible ten miles
distant through the light hood of cloud
settled about its snow cap.
1--WE returned to the, cave in three
hours, sliding down the side of the
mountain on our feet, each man tied
secure to the other with a strong
rope. Although we had heard much of
do ~ 6n
tain, we encountered but one or two
and avoided them by making detours.

well satisfied, and when I return from

first opportunity of making the ascent

owned and bequeathed to her his IA
nous reindeer herd. This has given
her the distinction of being the veal
thiest Of all her people. Therefore
Mary is queen in every sense of the
word. Her clapboard house is palatial
to the Eskimo eye. Her garments are
regal Her word Is law.
Her home lies In the midst of the
vast tundra, where her reindeer pas
ture. There in the cold land stretch
miles upon miles of her Undiscovered
ground, white whether with or without
shaw, for the summer moss takes the
place of the winter snow and whitens
the ground, springing up in few
hours after it Is nibbled away. On ap-
preaching you see only white ground.
The deer are far off, where the moss is
thicker. Then of sudden as the
sound or the scent of your party
reaches their ears or their noses the
great herd of four hundred comes like
a whirlwind over the tundra. The
word has been passed among them
that there is an excitement, an arrival,
They come to see as boys rush to a
fire. They come to listen, they come to
smell.
Then, like trained chorus entering
a well-rehearsed number, they make
for the nearest knoll and draw up
there. They draw up in q great semi
circle They stand with their antlers
branching upward like a forest, and
there they trumpet loudly for good
half hour.
This Is the picture that you will al
ways remember of your first sight of
the famous herd. 1t is a herd known
Alaska over. When reindeer were i'm
ported from Siberia by the United
States government they were in many
cases given to reliable Indians. Sin
before he was dead, and he was al
lowed one hundred and twenty five
deer. He was so successful in raising
them that he increased his herd to four
hundred and died then, leaving Mary,
his wife, to care for his property. This
she has done ever since, and she has
shown as good business ability as did
Charlie.
. If Mary decides to receive you she
will come out to meet you dressed in
her best, which is a costume of such
darq furs as a queen may well wear.
The parka is of the finest reindeer fur
spotted and dappled. 1t is tremendous
and flowing. The sleeves are, either
one, large enough for an ordinary
shoulder cape. The parka develops
into a sort of hood at the top and flares
at the edges, being bordered with long
red fox fur that makes halo around
her face. No wonder Mary's people
look upon her as the Rising Sun.
Mary's home is a good-eixe clap
board house that accommodates her
and her adopted children and her ser
wants. The servants attend the
work of the house and help Mary ,in

deer. The children are countless.
They swarm. They have been picked
up here, there, everywhere, whenever
Mary has happened upon a waif who
was cold or in hurry for his dinner
which was not forthcoming. They are
little and brown and greasy, and they
are bundled in miniature parkas with
miniature halos around their dirty lit
tie faces. Angook is the most sinful OF

Mary Makridoff, the Reindeer Queen
of Alaska, is queening it all by herself
now, for Sinrock Charlie Augensook is

Sinrock Charlie was her husband.
He died, leaving her in entire charge of
his immense estate, which means many
miles of white tundra and the greatest
herd of reindeer ever owned by an Es
kimo. Mary represents to her people,
not only the highest degree of rank
and honor, but Of wealth, culture and
fashion as well. Her power over them
is one with their time honored super

Her mother before her was Queen of
Alaska. From her came Mary's right

UP IXTACCIHUATL.

The Story of the Sixth Ascension.
Once again, for the sixth known time
a party of mountain climbers has
scaled Ixtaccihuatl. What makes the
performance the more notable is that
the party was led by Joseph Fl. Dedi,
Swiss, and an enthusiastic member
of the Swiss Alpine club, a young man
who has climbed all the mountains of
Switzerland and made the famous and
difficult pass between Switzerland and
Italy.
1t is to the credit of Ixtaccihuatl
that Mr.. Dedi, says taking all condi-
tons of climate and country into con-
sideration, this was the most difficult
ascent he has ever made, and that no
other such trip has ever SO amply re-
paid him for the trouble.
Practically I have lived in the Alps
all my life," says Mr.. Dedi, land in
consequence beautiful scenery is no
new thing to me, but never in my life
have I ever seen anything to equal the
view which spread out before us Sum-
day morning when, with infinite toll,
we finally reached the highest summit
of Ixtaccihuati.
I'm Switzerland when we reach the
summit Of snow clad mountain we
look out across immense fields of SIM

tude, and the sensation of height is
lost entirely. On the summit Of k

tirely different There one seems to
stand on one of the pinnacles Of the
world and can look down thousands
of feet in the sheer descent into the
broad and beautiful valleys below. It
was sensation and scene such as l

H4sEBALL sE4soN OPENED.

The Ead0-al league opened the season
last week and the other leagues will do
Sd in a few days. Every lover Of the
great American game will rejoice at the
a-spicioas opening There were record
crowds in attendance upon some Of the
games. ard all signs are taken to indicate
that the game VIII be more popular tbs
year than ever.
While it IS encouraging to find the pro-
fessionaI season promising so well, it is
stlI more encouraging to learn that the
amateurs viii be cut in force. There is
no more healthfuI sport known than base
ball, and it is free from brutality of all
kinds. It brings all the muscles of the
growing boys and young men into action,
cut in the open air, Strengthening their
limbs and their lungs at the same time.
Baseball is a game free from serious
contentious. There are momentary dis
putes over the decisions of an umpire, but
dissatisfaction is soon forgotten in adj
miradon of a fine play skiIlfuHy carried
out. It is withal, strenuous game. and
puts the players on their mettle 1t begets
in the player a self-possession most use
ful in the affairs Of after-life, trains him
TO be quick in decision and as quick in
action after a decision is reached.
And as for the rooters they are the
salt of the earth. A man who doesn't
enjoy a good game OF ball is fit for
treason, spoils, or any other old thing for
hidden by the Ten Commandments. And
it is not to be laid up as a serious charge
against g rooter that occasionally, for an
instant, he wants to murder the umpire.
OF course, he never does, and his Vicious
ness oozes out with the ejaculation Rot
TEN" But umplres do try the patience Of
the faithful fan, and there is no gain
saying it.
II h G o b e believes no umpire ever
lost MS life on Lexington field, the scene
Of many a hard fought battle, and we be-
speak the forbearauce of the fans during
the coming season toward such offenders;
but II the worst comes, we hope a humane
method Of determination will be adopted.

DON'T RXNT HT.Y,

Republican members Of the senate COM
mittee investigating the charges of cruelty
perpetrated on Filipinos refused to let
Aguinaldo come to this country and be
heard They allege that the effort to get
him to testify is purely a political one.
Well, if it were political, and there were
no cruelties, how would the Republican
party suffer? 1t looks to a man up a
tree like confession Of guilt. For GER
tainly, if there is a sincere desire to get
at the full truth, Aguinaldo should be
summoned and given full opportunity to
tell all he knows.
This action makes it probable that the
Republican members of the senate COM
mittee will manage the investigation with
an eye single to the political results that
may follow, and hence the investigation
will be worth very little in the way of
making plain the actual condition of af-
fairs in the islands.
Edward Atkinson the distinguished
Massachusetts writer on political and
economic subjects, was asked to be pres
ent and testify before the committee on
Saturday. After this request had been
made the committee, by a strict party
vote, decided to adjourn from Friday
until Monday Perhaps the Republican
majority did not take this action with
a view to offending Mr.. Atkinson and
keeping his evidence from being heard;
and again, perhaps it did. No one can tell
exactly what motive guides Republican
committee that could find damaging evil
| dence against its party if it tried to.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Root
may hope to gloss over the affair and lull
public conscience into forgetfulness of the
atrocities alleged by making good deal
o. buster about one or two court-1nar-
tials, and an announced determination to
| fully investigate conditions. But if they
so hope, they are doomed to disappoint-
ment, for so serious are the charges made
| that the American people, regardless of
party, will not be content with anything
less than the fullest and most open in
vestigation, the employment of every
available means to secure witnesses, and
the production of papers bearing upon
the subject.

Arizona was produced by an entirely
adequate company at the Metropolitan

royal tribute to this play which may
we'll be called 'The Peerless" The play
is so we'll known as to make comment
almost superfiuous.
It is the best thing ever done by Gus
Thomas; it is greater achievement than
Alabama" This is praise, indeed 1t is
the consensus of critical opinion that
Arizona is, with the possible exception
Of Shore Acres our best native drama:
that is, the most typical of our native
genius. In point of construction "Ari-
IONA" has few equals among recent
American plays. It's sequence is natural
and logical. 1t is less artful, and there
fore more artistic than Secret Service
and most other modern achievements that
rank high in current dramatic opinion.
1t cannot be analysed. Only minor
things can be measured and bounded:
genius is as spontaneous as nature and
as inexplicable; and Arizona is very
close to absolute genius. There is nothing
artificial about it; indeed it scarce seems
to be a play. It is life, buoyant and
triumphant life; life immense in pas
sion. pulse and power" 1t is a drama Of
real men, "undiminished men," men Of
hefoIc proportions, strong, sturdy men,
the advance guard Of the worlds need.
Lacking the poetic atmosphere and brisk
phdlosophic dialogue of Alabama" it is
more tense and powerful; more direc. in
its appeal, more cumulative in its de-
velopment. In brief it is a fine, beautiful
powerful play, a-throb with life, rich in
ali the legitimate elements of humor and
pathos. Most of all, it is intensely hu-
man. 1t is ''all spirit and fervor of
splendid fact, pulse and muscle and
arteries of living heroic thought and
act" 1t has no technical complications, no
problems, no perplexing philosophy 1t is
just wholesome bit of everyday life.

FRANK II. STOCKTON,

In the death Of Frank R. Stockton the
literary world loses one Of its most pro-
life, profound and entertaining writer's.
Stockton's work was much Of it done for
the magazines, but he wrote many books,
dozen or more of which are likely to
live in book history. Among these are
The Lady or the Tiger" and '.Rudder
Grange"
Stockton was not so great a student Of
character as Dickens and did not write
with the charm of Balsac, but there is a
finish, an earnestness and incisiveness
about his fiction which hold the interest
Of the reader and leave a more than
passing impression upon the mind. Of the
American novel writers of the past two
dozen years Frank r. Stockton easily
