has been a student of the subject for
years. He has library which is stocked
with books telling of the various at
tempts to reach the north pole. That big
eXpanse of white at the fiattenned end
of the school globes has always worried
him. He wants to see it colored and he
wants to see it covered with American
paint.
II is his hobby and when he came into
the navy department one of the things
that attracted him most was the like
lihood of meeting and knowing Peary,
whom he regarded as the best equipped
of all the arctic explorers and the one
most likely to achieve what they were
all seeking for. When Peary came back
to duty as civil engineer Darling be-
gan to think. He had number of talks
with the explorer and discovered that
Peary still had longing to go back
to the polar seas, and that he had new
scheme which he believed would prove
successful. So without consulting Peary
further he proceeded to arrange for a
leave of three years and then told Peary
what he had done.
OF course Peary was delighted. He
had not looked for so speedy an oppor-
tunity to put to the test the new plan
he had outlined in his own mind. He is
going to start out again. He will have
to raise the money for new ship which
he will call the Charles H. Darling,
and he believes that at last he is going
to succeed.

take up this tribe
bodily and carry them farther north to
the north shore of Grantland, where the
colony will settle and form a base of
supplies for the party which will under
take to reach the pole. This base of sup
plies will be within 500 miles of the pole,
several hundred miles nearer than the
base of supplies of any previous explor-
ing party, and thus affording just that
much additional advantage. Once there,
Peary will make up his party, which will
consist of only one white man besides
himself, the others being Eskimos The
entire party will consist of about 20
persons
The dash for the pole over the ice will
begin on February /, 1906. Dogs will be
used to haul the sledges and the party
will make better time than other eX-
petitions, as it will be small and every
member of it will have been thoroughly
trained in Arctic life.
The Eskimos can get over the rough
ice which abounds with far greater ease
than any white men, and that is the
main reason for combining the party
practically to them. 1t will not be neces-
Sary to waste time looking out for ex-
hausted com panions. Peary hopes to
reach the pole and return to his base of
supplies in time to get back to the Unit
ed States early in the fall of 1905

He found Power. 1t was a great oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Power had romantic
presence. His great, mellow, rounded,
caressing voice swept the whole gamut
of the sympathies; he made the part
sympathetic, portrayed the historic
pride of the Jew brought to subsection
by the Roman, and in the closing
scenes made moving picture of the
remorSe of the repentant betrayer.
After seeing the play last winter
passed out behind stranger, wom-
an, who sighed and said: Never be-
fore have realized how Judas was be-
trayed into betraying" Shakespeare
probably meant Shy1ock to be comic
character, to be laughed at by the au-
dience in the predicament to which his
greed brings him. Quick-witted ac-
tors long ago singled out the part as
that which star would prefer for the
chances it gives of arousing sympa
thy.
Power was reengaged for Mrs. Fiskes
company this year, He also engaged
himself-this seems to be testimony
to take the leading role in Stephen
Phillips ULYSSES" Perhaps the 9TH
er people were unusually anxious to
get him away because Mr.. Fiske has so
vigorously fought the theatrical trust.
Anyhow, the suit for an injunction
came up before Justice Blanchard, a
Wisconsin boy who came to New York
from his college and has ''got along"
in the usual country fashion. Fiske
could only hold Power by proving that
he was of unusual quality, not easily
replaced-which is the fact But
against that emphasized testimony the
justice put last seasons playbills
"You didn't star this man" he said,
in effect. "Why do you come now and
plead that he is star? There was no
indication of that estimation last
year
So Power will don the classic robes
of ULYSSES" for Mr.. Frohman and ap-
pear in a performance of sumptuous
magnificence-with no danger Of his
name appearing in small type!

ton, and thousands more in various
public offices throughout the United
States.
When he made the innovation Spin
ner was treasurer of the United States.
He held Office from 1861 to 1875, and his
peculiar corkscrew signature became
as universally familiar as the green
backs to which it was affixed. He not
only proposed the employment Of wo-
men, but he fought for it. He was lucky
in having for superior Salmon p.
Chase, who, as secretary of the treasury,
had finally to pass upon the question,
and Kate Chase Sprague, the secretary's
brilliant daughter, was warm cham
pion of the proposition. Indeed, there
are some who say it was her original
suggestion and that Spinner only fol-
lowed suit But whoever made the
suggestion Spinner will always have the
credit of carrying it into effect.
Now the women in the departments
are going to erect a monument to Spin
ners memory. The movement was
started very soon after Spinner's death,
and II years ago those who were in
terested organized themselves into the
General Spinner Memorial association"
Funds have been raised, the monument
has been completed-it will be of bronze
and congress has given permission for
it's erection in the national capital.
The government departments to-day
offer the most remunerative employ
ment which is open to women anywhere
in the world. The salaries paid will
average almost as much as those paid
to men and in many instances they are
higher.

buy Wnen IL Is
low and sell when it is high" is Rookie
feller's advice. But the perplexing
question to be solved is where is
bottom and where is top?" Make your
deals fit your pocketbook, and it you
are wrong in your estimation of the
market get out with as small loss as
possible, and in on the right side.
An acquaintance, one OF the conn-
dent kind, was going to pile up the
start of fortune at the time OF the
last scare Two hundred dollars was
his working capital. Had he been wise
he would have laid away half OF it as
insurance against the possibility OF his
being wrong, but he wasn't wise. He
staked every cent of his 5000 for rise
in corn at a two point margin, and
corn didn't raise. | saw him the fol-
lowing day on the sidewalk in front OF
the board. He hadn't a cent to his
name. He might have saved part OF
his capital by selling before the drop
had passed the mark OF his margin,
but he didn't like to begin as a loser
even though for small amount Had
he sold corn when corn went down
half a point he would still have had
$50 to get in on the other side. The
experienced hand at the business would
have done that, but he was not ex-
perienced, he was playing the other
mans game, and, as usual, the other
man got the money.
There are two things that tend to
success on the board of trade. One is,
don't be too sure" The other is,
"don't be afraid to take small loss
in order to save bigger one" But for
the novice there is but one sure way
of beating the board, and that is, keep
out"

cratic Neverthe-
less, as Tammany pretended to be dem
ocratic, the republicans in the state
legislature changed the charter provl-
sion so as to require an election every
two years. If they had left things
alone the city might now enjoy an en-
lightened, civilized and honest rule
for two years longer without worrying.
AS it is, the contest is between de-
cency, which has had chance to make
some enemies in two years, against in
decency, which has had two years for
the people to forget how vile it was.
do not suppose that Tammany, if it
wins, will dare be quite so rank as 1t
was from 1897 to 1901. That doesn't
pay. The "quick raturn," financially
speaking, does not pay for the lasting
bad reputation. And since Brooklyn
was added to the city the Tammany
oligarchy in Fourteenth street does not
rule things with so high hand as it
did in the little old city.
Because of the ba0 odor it was in in
1901 Tammany nominated Edward M.
Shepard, who, as a man, is quite the
because they wanted candidate OF
that kind, but because the case was
desperate | do not think they will re-
peat the experiment.

man like Joseph C. Hendrix, If Shep-
ard won't run again?" asked Tam
