Coroner Hamburger yesterday to await the
inquest into the death Of James Brasio, 20
years old, Of 2Ii East losth street. Brazio

morning as he was walking along the rail-
way track at Ii2th street and Park avenue
he was struck by some object extending
from the train which Kreiger WA running.
Robert D. Burroughs. an attorney for
the railway. asked the Coroner to parole
the engineer In his custody.
1T has been the custom Of previous
Coroners to parole men in the railway at
torney's custody said Mr.. Burroughs.
Coroner parburger refused to entertain
any such idea.
Il van you to understand that there is
no connection between the present board
Of Coroners and the New York Central

STEEL A-PLENTY, SAYS GARY.
U. 9. Corporation Can Supply All That San
Francisco Needs.

CHICAGO. May 3.-Judge E. H. Gary, chair
man of the board Of directors Of the United
States Steel Corporation. in talking on steel
trade to-day said:
"The steel mills Of this country will ex-
perience no difficulty in supplying San
Francisco with all the steel the city needs
for rebuilding. l suppose there has been
some inquiry abroad for structural steel
for use in San Francisco, but the steel mills
in Europe are busy, and / do not think foreign
shipments to the Pacific Coast will be large.
1t will be at least six months before San
Francisco will need any large amount Of
structural steel.
About two weeks ago We started a mill
in South Chicago, which is capable Of turn
ing out in the neighborhood OF 5000 tons Of
structural steel a month, This, Of course,
will give some relief. The orders on the
books Of the United States Steel Corporation
on the average represent about one years
operation Of our mills, Naturally, a large
amount Of tonnage calling for delivery this
year will be carried over into 1907

THE ACCESSORIES OF The
WELLMAN POLAR EXPEDITION
Some Of the Wonders 81 Science That Are Be Led
in the Attempt to Reach the Pole.

In this respect, as In all other ways,
the Wellman expedition will differ
from a1lSothers, for direct communica-
ton, not only with the base on Danes
island, but with the commercial ca
bles Of the y orld, IS expected to be
maintained through the De Forest
wireless telegraph apparatus that
forms an important part Of the i'm
pedimenta of the expedition. The
wireless telegraph service, like the air
ship, while not having been brought
to the highest stage Of perfection or
certainty of successful operation,
nevertheless has become commercially
practicable and reasonably reliable:
Recent tests at sea have heightened
the possible communication distance
to more than 1000 miles without re-
lay. A complete wireless outfit forms
a part of the expeditions apparatus,
and one of the five men who will
make the trip In the airshfp is an
expert wireless telegraph operator and
mechaniciau.

what may be called the accessories
sf the equipment of the Wellman
polar expedition are byd no means
least In point of interest in the novel
undertaking to reach the north pole
In an airship. The way in which the
explorer has utilized the latest sci
entific discoveries and inventions in
his coming battle with the elements
OF the north form one Of the most
interesting chapters in the story of
preparation. With the exception Of
the airship itself the wireless tele-
graph and the motor sledge, or, as
Mr.. Wellman calls 1t, "the mechanical
dog" stand out as of peculiar interest.
Should Mr.. -Wellman and his COM
panions be successful in reaching the
pole the wireless telegraph instrument
is expected to inform the world Of
the act of placing the American flag
on that important point Of the worlds
surface within few minutes after It
has occurred. Should anything hap

Capt. McClintock discovered in King
Williams Land the remains and rec
ords of the lost explorers. All Of the
los members of the party had per-
ished Of cold and hunger.
Another Inflated polar expedition
was that fitted out by the New York
Herald, and commanded by Command
er De Long, of the United States
navy. The steamer Jeanette sailed
through Behring straits and became
ice-bound. For two years the help
less vessel drffted with the ice, the
great pack finally crushing her staunch
hull and forcing the members Of the
expedition to take to three small boats.
One of the boats reached settlement
and obtained relief, another was lost
in storm and Of, the third all but
two of its occupants persisted Of cold
and starvation.
Probably no other name is so in
timately associated with arctic ex-
ploration as that of Robert e. Peary.
U. S. H., who it is was thought prob
able has sacrificed his life to- the cause
Of unraveling the mysteries of the
north. Since 1885 arctic exploration
has been practically hobby with him,
and during the past 20 years he has
made eight voyages to the polar re-
gions! for purposes Of scientific study
and exploration, giving to the world
more valuable Information than has
been secured from any other one
source. y It.. was, Lieut.. Peary who
proved that Greenland is an island ;
he discovered Independence bay on the
Greenland coast, five degrees farther
north than any previous authentic dis
coveries: he crossed the Greenland ice
cap and he gave to the world it's first
knowledge of the Whale Sound Eski-
mos. When setting out on his last
voyage to the north he was confident
of his ability to reach the pole, and
scientific people rather expected to see
him accomplish that difficult task. -.

Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their

She maintained that just as nature so

fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs

The FtMechanical Dog. ,

The "Mechaniical Dog
While it is unnecessary to point out
the efficiency and Staying" powers of
the airship, the promoters Of this
epoch-making expedition would not
undertake it, yet this confidence has
not been of the blind sort that. has
caused them to hurl caution to the
winds. Two supplemental provisions
have been made for insuring the sue
cess of the expedition and the lives
of tho explorers. The most important
of these :. IS the motor sledge. which
is to be carried in the car of the air
ship and which, it is confidently be-
lieved, will prove of the utmost value
in the event Of accident to the airship
at any stage of the voyage. There are
two of these sledges, propelled by gas
oline motors. They have six-horse-
power each. The motor is mounted on
runners, like those of the ordinary
sled, and the power is transmitted by
chain to large front wheel which
has breadth enough to serve the pur-
pose of snowshoe and the periphery
OF which is studded with projecting
spikes to furnish the gripping power

that they can be knocked down and

places.

Lieut.. R. E.Pearya is now In the

gions as have so many others before
him. Walter Wellman, newspaper cor

Practically the whole Of arctic ex-
ploration history has been made with
IN less than the last 100 years. though
the first arctic voyage was made as
early as 1900 by a Portuguese navi-
gator in an effort to discover the
northwest passage to India. While
many later voyages were made for the
same purpose the first expedition
made with the idea Of reaching the
pole was not made until early in the
last century. Since that time many
lives have been sacrificed in an effort
to conquer the elements of the frozen
north and wiring from them the secrets
supposed to lie at the top of the world
One of the largest expeditions or.
ganized for arctic exploration, and on*
Of the most disastrous, was that Of
Sir John Franklin, which sailed from

argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for tho
women Of the whole world. Il :
The Pinkhams had no money, and /
little credit. Their FIRST laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filing a gross Of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired s job
printer to run off some pamphlets

Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the P1nkham sons in
Boston,: New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommendedit to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the FAM

Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself. -
| During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent q vast col1abora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter : in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was refully instructed
in al her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her In her vast
correspondence. -.
i To her hands naturally fell the
direction Of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E.. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some a.
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this greatwork, and
