svERDRUP's WORK.

Almost at the same time with the news of Peary's return came the an- Inouncement of that of Captain Syer. drup. who set out more than four years ago to do what Peary has done. Syer- drl1p was diverted from the course he had laid out, and never got near the north coast of Greenland, which he had intended to map. But 1t was all for the best. Peary has attended to that, and Sverdrup, being compelled by force of circumstances, to wit, ice, to move to the westward instead of 2 'ing north through Smith sound, was able to make an extended and careful suf- yey of the south and west coasts of Ellesmere land, region that was un- known, and the outlining of which was real and considerable addition to geographical information.
 It will be remembered that Captain Sverdrup was the captain of the Fran during the Nansen expedition. When he undertook his more recent task he was in charge and began by announc- ing that his object way that already described by Peary. But whereas the latter, taught by experience, arranged to go over the ice along the shore of Smith sound, ,overdrup stuck to the old way of trying to force his ship through. The result was that he was checked al- most at the outset, and in the follow ing year attempted to pass through the Parry group of islands to the west ward. Here again he was stopped by ice and seems to have been frozen i'll ever since, up to the time of his re- turn. Yet the time was we'll spent if he has accomplished that which he is now understood to have done.
 He sent home no mention of his change of plan and seems to have made no effort to do so, although 1t was not impossible and probably not very difficult to arrange for 1t. His Norwegian friends and packers were left without inforation, apparently on the assumption that they had no right to believe that anything unpleasant could happen to party sailing on the Tram and in charge of Sverdrup. There is this to be said in favor of his as- sumption regarding their confidence, that when he did not return and noth- ing was heard from him a good many or them assumed that he had slipped through Smith sound somehow and was working away far north of any spot he ever reached on this trip. He had started out without much regard to courtesy and had been obliged to give up all that part of his undertak- Ing which involved meddIing with search that was already in good hands. but he lost nothing by the turn of events and the two expeditions were mace supplementary instead of con- nlcting, to the advantage of both and ot the world at large.-Hartford Times.

The little people, who are men and women in age despite their midget physical organization, appear in a spectacular musical extravaganza entitled Tn Pos ter4and," which embraces subjects so diversified that they embrace music. comedy, pathos, dances, wit, marches 9-nd character sketches of the most re- fmarkable nature, with these infnitesi- emal and mammoth impersonators re- introducing us to our poster friends, their mishaps, blunders, eccentricities, 4 failures and successes. embracing l among others the Omega oil boy and his geese, Happy Hooligan and the eversready policeman, Mrs Katzenjam- mer and the kids, Hans and Fritz, Foxy Grandpa, Lady Bountiful, the Gold Dust Twins; lesson in etiquette and general department by AIpnonse and Gaston, and many others of equal fame.

 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The Misses Melville and Stetson, the Seven Reed Birds and the other clever entertainers who are appearing with them at the Jacuqes this week are pro- viding splendid enjoyment for very large audiences, and it is doubtful if there is an act on the bill that is not In itself, and wholly apart from the others, worth more than the price of admission that Is charged for the whole snow It Is in this important quality that vaudeville as conducted by Man ager Poh excels all other forms of the- atrlcal entertainment. Never does he offer bill where the spectators do not get more than their moneys worth in some single act, to say nothing of the entire bill of acts; and it is by this pol Icy that be has made such phenomenal headway in vaudeville. One cannot see this weeks show, of a verity, with out being signally impressed with this essential fact. Not an act on the bill but is worth in itself all it costs to see me entire show; in the collection of acts it is extraordinary that one can see 1t for so little money.
