VERMONT WRESTLERS.
No State in the Union Has Furnished More square-HoId ana Side-
 Hold Good Ones.

"When I was a boy in Vermont" said Representative Cy. Subway, of New Hampshire, reports the Washing ton Star, '.it was my ambition and that of nearly every farmers boy in the state, as far as I knew, to be consid- cred champion wrestler. Probably no state in the union has furnished as many good square-hold and side-ho1d wrestlers as the Green Mountain state. Most of us boys learned wrestling at school, the wrestling bouts usually taking place at, recess. Even the schoolmaster took hand in the game and would try his skill against the larger boys, and if he happened to be thrown he lost prestige among his scholars. But it was at town meet ings that the greatest exhibitions of skill and strength took place. The, best wrestlers in the townships rallied at these gatherings, and the people seemed to take more interest in the outcome of the bouts than in the re- suits at the polls. The science of square-hold and side-hold wrestling has almost died out in the state now adays. Boys and young men seem to. fancy football, golf and baseball, but. there are some fine specimens of man. hood yet in the state, and it takes pretty good man to lay even modern Vermonter on his back"

ELUSIVE BAc1LLI.
Scientists Find Much Difficulty in Dee stroying Germs of Typhoid TubercuIosis.

It is one of the disappointments of the medical profession since the bac- tegia theory of many diseases has been fully established that all efforts to find an antidote for the tubsrcule typhoid bacillus have failed, says . special to the St. Louis GlobeDemo- crat An antitoxin has been provided for the diphtheria bacillus, because the person of this bacillus passes out of it's cell and is soluble. The person of typhoid tuberculosis is intracel-' lular and remains there, and cannot be reached under ordinary condi- tions. Recent experiments by bac-' teriologists, with the assistance of Prof. Dewar, of the effects of ex- treme cold upon the bacilli show that they survive at the lowest temper ature attainable. It was discovered, however, that when frozen in liquid air the bacilli became extremely brit tie, so that they could be triturated into exceedingly fine powder and their cellular character thus de- stroyed. It is possible to experiment. with antidotes upon their poisonous contents, and it is hoped before long that this method will lead to the dis covery of treatment which will de- stroy the germs of typhoid tubercu- loSis in the human body.

The ex-slave pension bill introduced by Senator Hanna has already borne fruit and q circular has been sent out by the "Ex-Slave Mutual Relief 5. and P. Association of the United States" that Senator Hanna, who is described as a 'man of might and has introduced the bill and so- liciting a contribution of S1 from every negro for the promotion of the bill. Senator Hanna has admitted that he the bill without giving any thought to it's provisions and that he appreciates that there is not the slight est chance of it's ever becoming q law, the circular referred to Is so carefully worded that the postoftice authorities say they cannot, as yet, de- clare it to be a fraud and thus prohibit it from the mails. That Senator Han na should willingly or unwittingly have lent his name to such a scheme is q source of serious regret to every sen ator in both parties, as it is appreciated that the only result, apart from the political strength it may bring to MT Hanna with the southern republicans, will be to defraud thousands of ignor- ant and misguided negroes of money they can i'll afford to lose.

POLE WILL BE REACHED.
Explorer Peary Tells How the often- y& Essayed Feat Mny Be Ac-
 cOmpIisheds

. So far am from considering the gen. eral proposition of advance over the polar pack impracticable that l have no hesitation in saying l believe that the man who, with the proper party, the proper equipment, and proper ex- perience, can secure base on the northern shore of Grinnell Land, and can begin his work with the earliest returning light in February, will hold the pole in his grasp, writes Robert F. Peary, in McClure's Magazine.
 The proper method for an effective attack upon the pole may be summed up in paragraph, viz:
 A strongly built ship of maximum power; minimum party, utilizing the Eskimos exclusively for the rank and file; the establishment of perma- nent station or sub-base at Sabine; the formation of chain of caches from Sabine to Hecla; the esta blishment of a main base somewhere on the North Grinnell Land coast; forcing the ship to winter quarters there the redistri- button of the entire tribe of Whale sound Eskimos, taking the picked men of the tribe on the ship, and distribut- ing the others in a series of settle ments along the Grinnell Land coast, with the rear on per ennial walrus grounds at Sonn- tag bay and the head of certain summer navigation at Sabine, and the van at Hecla; and, finally. an advance, in the earliest returning light of Feb ruary, from Hecla northward over the polar pack, with small. light pioneer party. followed by large, heavy. main party, from which at intervals two or three sledges would drop out and return until on the last stage there would be but two or three sledees left,

The claim of Mount Mckinley, the eliminating peak of the Alaskan range, to be regarded as the loftiest point in North America, is sustained by the re- port of an exploring party, made by one of it's members, Mir. A. H. Brooks. The party made q journey of 800 miles on foot in Alaska during the season just passed. Mir. D. l.. Reaburn, the topographer of the expedition, be- lieves that the measurements ofmoun- tain heights which were made have d probable error not exceeding 100 feet. According to these measure ments Mount McKinley's elevation defi- nitely exceeds 10000 feet; that of Mount Foraker is 17soo0 feet.

The money market will require skillful handling until the next crop demands have been satisfied, particn- larly as there are large number of big railroad corporations with new se- curity issues, either contemplated or already announced, writes Banker Gloves ill his weekly letter Needless to say high money rates do not facili- tate the placing of 311a @4 per cent bonds: and, as there promises to be good demand for funds for some time to come, and the supply of securities is already much in excess of the de- mand, it is difficult to see how the market can do otherwise than follow a downward drift. There is no doubt that period of gradual liquidation and lower price would infuse fresh life into the market, bringing in new and stronger class of buyers whose judg- ment is opposed to making either tenn porary or permanent investments at this level. General business Is active and promises to so continue; yet high CT costs are lessening profits and check ing new enterprises. The whole coun- try would be In stronger and more satisfactory condition if values were to come down to a more normal level. That process will inevitably begin just as soon as supply overtakes demand. A conservative feeling prevails i'll high circles, and this policy is likely to eventually strengthen the whole mar
 ket. For the present however, it looks
 as if prices would be allowed to find a
 lower and more substantial level<

some Letters. That Men Can Never
 Learn to Make.
 tWhy Is it that with some men some letters of the alphabet are harder to make than others, and, in fact that there are some letters that some men never learned how to maker asked T young man who takes considerable in. terest in the matter of handwriting uC IS rather singular fact that nearly every man, outside of the experts, is weak on one or more of the letters in the English alphabet. Sometimes if IS one letter and sometimes another In any event, you will find few men who are exempt from the failing re- ferred to.
 Il know of one man who, in spite of the fact that he does Il great deoI of writing, has never learned how to make capital F. He S!mply makes q stdgger at it, and as q rule the re- suit of his efforts will look more like a small D than like the capital F. know another man who can't make T small to save his life. He can.neyer get the lower part of the letter below the line. He makes it look like a ciub-footed b instead of an f. There are others who, when they try to make the b, give it the long shank, and it looks more like the letter f. If is rather singular that these traits should l hang on@to q mans writing for a life time. but they do it just the same, and 1 if you make few inquiries among your friends and acquaintances you will find that but a few of them are exempt from this fault It is very much like the habit of spelling certain words incorrectly. Many men who are rated as first class spoilers pass ! through life without ever in q single in- i stance spelling certain words correctly. It is due to habit largely. If you 1 should ask them how to spell the word they would tell you. Bnt when they 90 to write it. that is quite different and they will get if wrong every time So they know. too. how certain letters should be made. but they simply cant put them down on paper. It is q curi- ous but common fault" New Orleans
