POLAR SECRET IS OUT.
William Ziegler Gives Inside History of
the Baldwin Expedi-
tinn

New York, Dec. 2S.-A series Of docu-
ments was published yesterday which
constituted William Ziegler's reply to the
attacks upon him by e. B. Baldwin,
who commanded the Baldwin-Ziegler
polar expedition in 1901. The grand
jury Of Cole county, Mo-, some time ago
found an Indictment against Mr.. Ziegler
on the charge of bribery, and Ziegler has
accused Baldwin Of being back Of the
Missouri accusations
One Of the documents published yes
terday is copy Of a contract which
Baldwin is alleged to have persuaded
seven members of the expedition whom
he left at Camp Ziegler, in Franz josef
land, to sign before he left for Norway.
to sever his connection with the expedi-
ton and to re-engage with e. b. Bald
win.
Kept Contracts Secret.
Baldwin, on his return to Camp Zieg-
Ter, according to the article, took back the
copies Of the contract from all except one
Of the seven.
Baldwin is quoted as having said to
Ziegler's representative w. S. Champ:
How will I stand if he should die while T
am up there?" According to Champ, he
never mentioned the contract episode. The
contracts are now in Mr.. Zieglers pos
session.
Another published document is letter
to Archibald Dickson Of the expedition,
signed by Baldwin, accusing Champ and
Ziegler Of misrepresenting the failure of
the expedition. The letter from Dickson
to Ziegler, however, says:
"Mr. Baldwin had no serious intention
OF getting. to Randolph island With the
ship the first year, If at all.
The same letter declares that ''the men
we're refused water to wash in, when
their bodies were in a pestilential con-
dition," and says that the men were I'M
able to get other necessaries.
Says He Wasted His Time.
A statement signed with the name of
H. P. HART, chief engineer of the steam
yacht America, accuses Baldwin of try
ing to break the mems spirit, and Of
having wasted the best month in which
the yacht could have pushed northward.
e. D. K. Leffingwell Of the University
of Chicago signs another statement to
the effect that Baldwin failed as leader
and accuses him of scheming to secure
all the credit for himself and of going
back on Ziegler."

Was Too Pessimlstic.

Sir Benjamin Baker, consulting en-.
gineei' to the Egyptian government,
tells an amusing story of an interview
he had eight years ago with an old
fashioned native land owner at the
time when the constr uction of a large
reservoir somewhere in the Nile val
ley was first seriously proposed. This
descendant of the prophet, who was
very rich and had been twice warned
by the government that probably he
would be hanged if any more bodies
of servants he had quarreled with
were found floating in the Nile, assur-
ed Sir Benjamin that there could be
nothing in the project of Nile reser-
voir or it would have been, done at
least 1000 years ago. Yet the great
Assouan dam now shows that the
ancients did not have all the enter
prise.

Making and Spending Money.

Formerly men were trained to spend
money, not to make it; now they are
trained to make money, not to spend
it. The result of this development is
that most of the rich in England now
do not know how to spend their wealth
intelligently. They do not know good
food from bad food, good wine from
lad wine, good cigars from bad cigars,
and good pictures, statuary or furnt-
ture from limitations. Their only stan
dard of value is the price, and so
prices have gone up all round. AS it
is taken for granted by them in their
ignorance that the dearest article is
the best, they buy it, and the cunning
tradesman naturally increases his
prices to obtain their custcm.-London
Truth.

Good Listeners Rare,

Listening is at once the rarest and
most charming gift woman can pos.
sess, says the Chicago Record Herald
The mysterious influence that Cleo
patra exerted over Anthony has made
the world wonder, for the Egyptian
was not beautiful. But it is plain
enough when one remembers how she
inclined her little ears to hear the
stories of his victories. This trait
reached high art with Josephine. 1t
was only when she ceased to listen
and began to talk that she lost favor
with Napoleon. Given a fair field
and chance to prove herself an ap-
preciative listener, the plainest girl
can win honors in contest with
beauty in nine cases out of ten.
