ARCTIC EXPLORERS ARE
BANQUETTED
(Scripps News Association.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE two
famous Arctic explorers, Norden-
skiold and Mikkelson, will be the
guests of the Arctic club and the
Explorers club at a joint dinner
of the two clubs in this city to-
night.
Mr.. Mikkelsen will make his
Headquarters in Brooklyn for a few
weeks, while he is collecting funds
for an expedition to the Beaufort
Sea, an UNEMPLOYED area west of
the Parry archipelago. Mr.. Mix
kelsen plans to leave San Fran
cisco some time in April. He will
then go to the mouth of the Mac
kenzie river. He hopes that the
government will place at his dispos-
al a small revenue cutter, but, if
not, he will sail on one of the
whalers which annually go north
to Behring strait.
On reaching Behring strait, Mr.
Mikkelsen will turn west and spend
some time along the Siberian coast
where he will buy dogs, kayaks and
Siberian ponies. The other mem
bers of the party will go by more
direct route through Canada, and
will meet Mr.. Mikkelsen at the
mouth Of the Ma ckenzie some time
in August. The continuation OF
the expedition will be governed
largely by the kind of vessel at the
party's disposal.

BALTIMORE BEAUTIES
LEFT VOICES BEHIND

With the exception of a fey spe-
cialties, the Baltimore Beauties
burlesque aggregation, which open
ed two nights engagement at the
Spokane theater last evening, is
about the poorest seen here this
season. The jokes are stale and
vapid. The singing is poor and the
music just medium. The members
of the chorus for some reason fail
ed bring their voices with them.
Some of the specialties, however,
are quite worth while. The trio of
bicyclists were very good indeed
and introduced several entirely new
specialties in their line. The mill
tary drill is also an attractive feat
ure. Edna Davenport appears to
advantage in her song and dance
specially.

WEDDING Will
end ROMANCE
(Scripps News Association.)

HACKETTSTOWN, N. j., Feb. Z.
The coming marriage of Ensign
Charles N. Wade, U. S. N, of this
town, and Miss Edith Fabrigou, is
attracting considerable attention.
T. is the final result of an interest
ing little romance. The ensign was
in charge of the engine room Of
the gunboat Bennington at the time
its boiler exploded, while the YES
sci was lying in the harbor of San
Diego, Cal. A court of inquiry rec
commended that the ensign be court
martialed. AS the court was about
to assemble, Ensign Wade was
stricken with appendicitis and was
removed to the government hospi-
tai. The ensign had met Miss Fa-
brigou at Santa Barbara, some time
before the Bennington disaster. At
ter the operation the surgeons pro-
nounced Wade's case hopeless and
none were allowed to see him. Gan
grenous peritonitis developed, and
it was only then that Miss Fabri-
gou was permitted to visit the bed
side of her sweetheart. After each
visit the doctors noticed that the
ensign's fever was slightly abated
and his temperature a trife lower,
and finally his recovery became as
sured. The court martial exoner-
ated Wade. Miss Fabrigou is a
daughter of retired professor of
Columbia university, and quite a
favorite in social circles in New
York.

AS soon as the frost was out of

Stacy left his little home in Ar
kansas to go down to the river with
a boat load of furs and skins.
He left his wife and niece with

thought of harm coming to them
during his absence, for, living as
he did, II miles from the nearest
town, and remote from the road
taken by travellers and tramps, they
had few visitors, and seldom saw a
strange face; and then, too, both
women were accustomed to the use
of firearms, and Louis knew that
they would not hesitate to employ
them If necessary. Just at this time
a stranger was lying i'll at the cabin
"a young man who had accidental
ly shot himself while hunting in the
woods, and to whom Louis had will

giving their guest the pleasant
room on the first floor.
1t was nearly midnight of the
fifth day of Louis absence when
Laura was aroused by hearing a
noise at the door of the cabin. Not
disturbing her aunt, who was sleep
ing heavily, worn out by watching
the invalid the previous night, the
brave girl hastily dressed and de-
scended the ladder just as the door
of the main room opened and two
men in bare feet entered, Carrying

seeing Laura standing silent and
motionless with lighted candle in
her hand. One of them, a tall, bur-
ly fellow, with an evil, advanced to-
ward her and shook his fist in her
face.

Laura knew that if she disobeyed

TO CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

More than forty years have come
and gone since we were engaged
in fierce heroic struggle for our
homes, our firesides and for prin-
ciples which we conceived to be
right. Another generation-our
children and grandchildren-have
sprung up, who realizing that we
are rapidly passing over the stream
of life, have asked that we give
them a real imitation of battle as
we fought them in the sixties, &C
companied with the old Rebel
yell" that always struck terror in
the breasts of the Yankees. We
have consented to give them this
battle, and was appointed to
make all necessary arrangements.
We have in Tennessee six compa.
nies of uniformed and armed Con-
federates--the only State that since
the war has legally permitted Con-
federates to arm and organize into
a regiment. These Confederates
will use blank cartridges, manu-
factured especially for sham bat
ties.
General George w. Gordon, of |
Memphis, Tenn, Commander of |
the Tennessee Division United |
Confederate Veterans, has agreed |
to take charge of the Confederates. |
Captain John w. Morton, who
commanded the Artillery for that
band of noble heroes, known as
Forrest Cavalry, will have charge
of the battery. General Harvey
HI. Hannah, Commander of the
National Guards o. Tennessee,
will have charge Of the National
Guards. Captain George f. Ha-
ger, Commander of Troop A,
Confederate Veterans of Nashville,
Tenn, will have mounted men re-
presenting Forrest Cavalry on the
skirmish line.
The battle will take place in the
fair grounds at Union City, July
4, 1906, at to 2 o'clock p. m.
