PRESIDENT BACK FROM TRIP.
He and Mrs. Roosevelt in the Best Of

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2S.--
President Roosevelt got back to
Washington from his trip to the

OVER HORSESHOE FALLS.
Mln In Boat Without Oars Goes

over
Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 28.-A man
was swept over the Horseshoe Falls
in small boat, despite desperate eff
forts made to rescue him. Just be-
fore o'clock an employee Of the On
tario Power Company spied what
looked like a log coming down TIE
river in the center. He watched the
object for few minutes and present
" was Mortified to see a man stand
up and wave his arms at him.
There were number of people at
Terrapin Point, on the American
side, and on Table Rock, on the Ca
ma liam side, who saw the mn go over
the Falls. They saw no oars in the
boat as it poised for brief instant
before the plunge. The man was
dressed like a hunter, and 1t is sup
posed he was shooting ducks up the
riN er and in some manner lost his
oars and thus could not escape the
current which carried him steadily to
an awful death.
The five men who tried to rescue
the unfortunate were far beyond the
danger line when they gave up the
attempt and were exhausted by their
efforts to make the shore against the
swift current.

A sure way to grow pie plant is as
follows: If possible have your pie
plant bed surrounded by trees; the
more shade the better. Eight by six
teen feet square will yield much.
Cover the bed four to six inches
deep with well rotted stable manure,
then spade 1t as deep as you can,
mixing the manure with the earth as
much as possible. Set your plants
three feet apart each way, then
spread evenly over the entire bed
four to five inches of new stable
manure. The stalk will grow rank
er If a barrel with both ends
knocked out is placed over the plant.

Explorer Peary Prevented,
By Untimely Storm,
From Reaching 1t.
ICE FIELDS WERE RENT
He Is Convinced that by His Plan OF
a Dash by Small Party the
Geographical Problem of the Ages
Will Finally be Solved - The
Roosevelt in Bad Shape.

Sydney. n. s.. Nov. 25.-Imme-
diately upon the arrival here OF the
steamer Roosevelt, Commander Peary
boarded a tug and came ashore to
meet Mrs Peary, who has been
awaiting him here for two weeks. He
appeared to be In excellent health
and none the worse for his perilous
excursion poleward Those who ac-
companied him are also in the best
OF health and spirits
The Roosevelt, except for a ruG-
derless stern, shows few marks OF
the trip, bat she is in leaky coadi-
tiOa and has lost much of her In
terror woodwork, ladders, beams and
almost everything movable having
been sacrificed to keep The party
warm. On board were siXte EsEi-
mo dogs the tiny craft of a former
Polar trip, which had been lying in
the ice for thirty years, and numer-
Gus other relies
Commander Pcary still believes
that the Pole can be reached. and the
same opinion is expressed by Capt.
Bartlett.
Shortly after the dash for the Pole
BEGAN furious gale, the equal Of
which had never been experienced by
any of the party, sprang up and last
ed for eight days. This broke the
connection between the supporting
parties.
Had Marvin and Clarke been able
to bring up supplies which would
have lasted l25 days. Capt Bartlett
has no doubt whatever that the OK
plorer would have reached the Pole
and have returned to the starting
point within forty days.
Asked about Explorer Nansen's
theory of drifting into the Pole in
four or five years by means of the
prevailing west winds. Commander
Peary says that there are great posi-
bilities in it, but not for man OF his
temperament, since much waiting
and patience are required
Dr. l.. J. Wolfe, the medical on
Ger. says that except for little
rheumatic fever the health of the
men was excellent.
The doctor also believes that by
following Peary's plan the Pole can
be reached
Capt. Bartlett was in charge Of
one of the parties supporting Peary's
advance. He said the storm which
did the mischief was tremendous in
violence and accompanied by blind
ing squalls of fine arctic snow The
ice field was rent widely asunder and
and the trail was destroyed. Ordi-
narily, tracking is easy in the far
North, as the snow packs hard and
bootmarks are sometimes preserved
for six months.
