Capt. Mikkelsen Will Search for Pole.
HISDlSAPPOINTMENT
Whaling Vessel Refuses to Take Him to Alaska Other Ves- sels Are Frozen in the
 Ice Up North.

New York, Feb 26.-Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen's preparations for his Arc tic expedition to the north of this con tinent have advanced so far that he will probably leave New York tonight for San Francisco. His sledges and supplies are arriving from England, and on the Pacific coast he will pur, chase the vessel he needs for hds tvs years work. On his arrival here Cap tain Mikkelsen was confronted with an unexpected difficulty. The Royal Geographical society and few indi- viduals had provided him with ample funds for the equipmenu of small expeditions His supplies and other equipments were prepared under his personal supervision, and he had made arrangements to be taken north on one of the whalers that leave San Francisco every season for the Alas kan coast and the mouth of the Mac kenzie. Unfortunately, eleven of these whalers were frozen in the ice on the Arctic coast just as they were preparing to return home. Only two whalers will leave San Francisco this year, and neither of them would en- gage to land Mikkelsen at his destiri- ation.
 A few days after his arrival here Captain Mikkelsen laid his plans be fore the American Geographical. soci- ety, with statement of the unexpect- ed situation in which he was placed After due consideration. the society decided to present to him the entire sum required to leave for the north oi. his own vessel as soon as there is any possibility of pushing through Ber:ns strait into the Arctic ocean. The Mlk kelsen expedition is going to Banks Land under the joint auspices of the Royal Geographical society of Lon don and the American Geographical society,

REV. JOHNSON'S IDEA
Roekefeller's Paso: Says It is Not Well to Try
 to Copy Life of Christ Exactly.

Chicago, Feb. 26-Persons who try to copy the life of Christ exactly make fatal mistake, according to the Rev R. P. Johnston, pastor of the Fifth avenue Baptist church of New York city, Dr Johnston, whose church numbers among it's members John D.. Rockefeller, delivered the first of n series of sermons yesterday at Man del hall, Chicago university.
 If all Christions tried to copy Christ's life exactly all Science, com merce, agriculture and other business would cease" he said, ."and an mpre- cedented era of disintegration would ensue. It would be the greatest pos sible calamity that could happen. In- stead of copying Christ's life to the letter, live in the spirit of it.
 Not many years ago man would be called a heretic who said person was Christian and did not belong to any church. Now it is not question of creed or institution but of living.
 "T'he man with good life and q bad creed Is better than man with good creed and a bad life"

NEW POLICE sYsTEM.

WITHIN the next two weeks or
probably sooner the new three pla-
toon system will be put in working
order in the police department by
Police Commissioner Bingham. When
the three-platoon system was abol-
ished, General Bingham said that he
did so for the reason that he needed
one thousand men for the summer
resorts and that as soon as these de-
tails were over he would return
either to the three-platoon system or
some other similar system. The new
system, which as been devised and
according to those at police head
quarters, who are in a position to
know, it will probably be as satisfac-
tory as the former interpolation sys-
tenn. He has gone carefully over the
system to be introduced and is salts
fed that the men will be perfectly
pleased with it. The new system
will be introduced without waiting
for the additional men to be appoint
ed, so the men are all wearing smiles
again and will welcome the humane
system.

PLEASANT PLAINS.
McNULTY

Thomas McNulty, of Amboy ave-
nue., who was arrested on complaint
of Simon Barkowitz by Officer Win
ant, of the sub-precinct station, was
arraigned before Magistrate Croak,
in New Brighton, Friday and after a
severe reprimand he was discharged.
McNulty, so says Barkowitz, is one of
the leaders of a gang who comes to
his place in Amboy avenu and make
a disturbance. He also says that
during their visits, while he has gone
into the rear of the store, they have
taken different articles from him.
Last Wednesday he made a complaint
to McNulty's parents. He, with a
party of his friends, came to the
store that night to talk with him for
doing it, when a general fight took
place between them with the result
that Barkowitz went to court and
swore out the warrant. This arrest
will probably help to break up this
thing.

ToTTEHvILL.E.


Staten Island, alias Richmond bor-
ough, alias South New York, has
twenty-five postmasters and each has
been using his influence to prevent
Uncle Sam from combining all the
post Offices in the borough and thus
save enough money to establish free
delivery services.
While a government commission is
deciding how to improve the service,
facetious Staten Islanders have been
writing anonymous letters to the
Post Office Department, n of which
was given out at Washington yester-
day as a samples:
81 note that rural free delivery is
to be established in the island OF
Guam. Truly this is an age of topsy-
turveydom, when natives Of the Pa
cific can enjoy the beauties of free
delivery while certain denizens of the
greatest city in the country must per-
force call at the post Office for their
mail"
In reply to this letter, which might
have come from Bulls Head, Limo
leumville, Rossville, Arrochar or
Frush Valley, for it was signed sim
ply Staten Island" the department
offers to trade Guam's facilities for
those of the certain denizens," and
adds:
"The rural delivery in Guam is
performed by ono carrier at a salary
OF $500 a year, who takes a week to
make his rounds, and in this way is
able to serve Asan, Pitt, Sumo,
Agate, Umatae, Merizo and Marajan
weekly"
The department refuses the re-
quest of the Raritan Bay Park Asso-
citation of Tottenville for rural deliv-
cry and hints that as Tottenville is a
part of the city of New York tbs not
rural" enough to have such a privi-
lege.
Staten Islanders are told, however,
that the commission will soon make
a report and that better facilities will
undoubtedly be given to everybody
from st. George to T%ottenville, TWEEN
ty miles away Meanwhile the TWEEN
ty-two postmasters are having week
ly meetings in their campaign to hold
their jobs and, incidentally, their
salaries.
