Two Men Frost. Bitten.

Two men suffered from bad frost
bites, but this was due to their own
carelessness in Drawing the arctic tenn
perature in the bergs vicinity without
proper clothing. Their experience was
warning to the rest of the crew, and
when the tug with the prize passed the
Breakwater every man aboard was
mutfled as if for Peary relief eXpedi-
ton.
The length of the iceberg was 500
feet, and it is estimated that it Will
yield fully 100000 tons, which isnearly
sufficient to make up the shortage in
ice crop due to the mild winter. The
work of cutting up the mountain of ice
will have, to be pushed because of the
rapidity with which it will melt under
the spring sunshine.
The monster berg was captured on
the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
1t was made fast at great rlsk by the
daring men on the tug, who in smaIl
boats tied staunch ropes around the
mountain of ice, and then let out a
long tow-line from the tug and, WIN
graphing hooks, secured fastening
which held firm after several attempts
had resulted in failure. The crew OF
the tug will share in the money the
prize will yield, AS icebergs are hroh-
en- off portions of glaciers, the ice
welded will be of good quality.

beauty of Niagara Falls little can be
accomplished, and from past cXper,-
ence it seems more than doubtful that
such will be the case. In the matter
of the il ternational boundary aud the
seal controversy, Canada certainly did
not show an over friendly spirit and
there is no reason to assume that her
attitude has changed in the least. but
it would seem probable that she will
use all her great influence with the
mother country to defeat any friendly
agreement that might be proposed.
This conclusion of Canadas probable
attitude is not reached entirely on ac-
count of any unfriendly feeling, but
because of two very important facts:
one of these is the greater width anu
depth of the channel on the Canadian
side. which would insure splendid
flow over the Horseshoe Falls after
the American side is entirely dry.
1t is asserted that Ontario Province
now receives from the Commissioners
of Queen Victoria Niagara Park, Ii
minimum annual rental of 100000 for
the water rights granted there, and
when the plants for which these
grants were made are in full operation,
the annual rentals to the government
will amount to over 100000.
1t is further asserted that additional
water could be granted by Canada
which would produce an annual rental
Of another 100000, and still not seri-
ously affect the Canadian side of the
Falls. while the American Falls would
be entirely drained long before this
enormous rental was due.
There would seem, however, to be

Official Feminine Calls,

In the social life of the national cap.
ital, Miss Cannon occupies, by virtue
of her fathers position, a unique posi.
ton. Possibly not all our readers are
aware of the many unwritten laws that
govern the exchange of calls between
women whose husbands or fathers oc-
cupy prominent positions at Washing
ton. For instance, official etiquette
prescribes that the wife of newly
elected Senator or Representative
must make the first call upon the wives
OF all those Congressman who are her
husbands seniors in service. Miss
Cannon, however, in accordance
with these same unwritten laws, is not
compelled to make "first call" upon
any ladies in Washington, save the
wife of the President and the wife of
the Vice President All this fuss as to
who shall call first may appear ridicu-
lous to persons who are not brought
in contact with life at our seat of gov
eminent, and possibly Miss Cannon

MISS HELEN CANNON.
DAUGHTER OF THE SPEAKER REPRESENTATIVES,

gard it in that light too, but the fact
remains that the enforcement OF such
recognition is due the dignity of her
fathers position, and she is too good
a politician not to insist upon the
Speaker of the House enjoying all the
prestige which is due him. Should MT
Cannon one day be President OF the
United States, as is by no means I'M
possible, his daughter will by reason
of her kindness and democracy, make
an ideal First Lady of the Land.

NIAGARA FALLS IN DANGER.
Joint Resolution in Congress For
Their Preservation.
Proposal to Unite With Canada In
an Effort to Stop Further Depre-
dations Which VIII Destroy the
Scenic Grandeur.

At last the national lawmakers
have come to realizing sense of the
danger which threatens Niagara Falls,
the most beautiful of all the worlds
natural wonders.
By joint resolution Of the Senate
and House of Representatives the
International Commission, created un-
der the River and Harbor Act Of 1902,
was requested to report to Congress,
at an early day, what action was, Iii
their judgment, necessary and desir-
able to prevent the further depletion
Of water flowing over Niagara Falls
and were further directed to exert,
in conjunction with the members OF
said Commission representing the
Dominion of Canada, il practicable,
all possible efforts for the preserva-
ton of the falls in their natural con-
dition.
The Greeley tribune., 1906-05-10

If anything is to be accomplished
in the matter it is necessary to act
at once. for if more corporations OBJ
tain control of the water rights it
will be impossible for either the nation
or New York State to repurchaSe them
without an absolutely enormous ex-
penditure of money.
Lack of Interest.
1t is certainly to be regretted that
the American people have SO long
neglected the most beautiful fall Of
water in the world, and have allowed
any part of it to be converted to pri-
vate gain or corporate greed.
Even now, in the face of all that
has been said and written on the
subject, there seems to be an attitude
of half-heartedness on the part OF
the people to act, which is we'll illus
trated by the fact that Senator L'IIom-
medieu, of the New York State legis-
lature, has asked the Senate to kill his
bill restricting the taking of water
from Niagara River above the falls for
power purposes and SAYS in defense
of his action, Il cannot find any senti-
ment in favor of protecting Niagara
Falls, and I'm tired of being attacked
on the subject of my bills relating to
this subject

With its mountain of ice in tow, the
tug passed up the Delaware River
creating CONSERVATION among the float
ing world on the stream, as observers
could not imagine other than that the
floating mountain was being driven up
the bay by some freak of wind and cur
rent, to the great danger of shipping.
Its approach was responsible for some
frenzied telegraphing, which threw the
shipping interests into panic. Orders
were issued to hold up the sailing of
every vessel due to leave, and mes
sages were dispatched to lower Della
ware station to intercept several out
bound steamers and warn them to seek
out of the berg's path.

Maritime Interests Excited.

For several hours maritime inter-
ests were intensely excited by the un-
heard-of presence of an iceberg in the
bay. Later, when the true story of the
wonderful feat was flashed over the
wire, it seemed SO utterly incredible
that the excitement, if anything, was
increased. 1t was not until one of the
fastest tugs in the harbor had steamed
down the bay and wired verification of
the story that the panic was allayed.
Only the providential cooperation of
the winds and tides, and the most fa-
vorable weather conditions enabled
the tug to accomplish the feat. In spite
of the almost inconceivable risks at
tendant upon the berg's capture. not a
member of the tugs crew was injured.

FRENCHMEN FIGHT
DUEL IN WHICH
BLOOD WAS SHED

tenant Andre Quarrel
About Their Fathers.

PARIS. July 13.-A duel with swords
was fought today between Paul Cassag-
nae, jr., and Lieutenant Andre. son or
General Andre, former minister of war,
because of a quarrel which arose over
reflection upon Paul CassagnaC. ST..
contained in the memoirs Of General
Andre
Young Cassagnac asked Lieutenant
Andre II he accepted the responsibility
for his fathers words, and when he
was assured that the lieutenan. would
do so. promptly challenged him TO a
duel
Lieutenant Andre was wounded in the
encounter, which took place today.
The outcome of the cOnfi,f. in which
blood was actually shed, was some
thing unusual In French duels. Both
combatants entered the contest nerCeiy,
evidently determined 20 do all possible
damage. The fight terminated when
Andre received q wound In the arm.
Cassagnacs sword was broken during
the encounter. The meeting took place
on private grounds at Neuilly.
Both Andre and CassaguaC come Of
warlike families. Paul Cassagnac, ST.,
in his day was one or the most notorious
dueIists In France.
General Andre was minister OF war
from May. 1900, until November. 1904
He was a participant IN a disgraceful
scene in the chamber OF deputies, dur
ing which he was struck IN the face by
n Nationalist deputy Gabriel SyvetOn.
A duel grew out OF the affair, Captain
Gall meeting SyvetOn for General Andre
who was prevented from lighting in his
own behalf owing 70 his official post
