PEARY OUTLINES HIS PLANS
Thinks He Can Reach the Pole Next
Time He Tries.

Lecturing recently before the Brook
Ign institute on his last Arctic expe-
dition, Commander r. e. Peary exhi-
bited on a map a new course which he
said he would take on his next ven
ture into the far north and which, he
believed, would take him to the pole.
On his last voyage, he explained, he
had, through lack Of knowledge Of the
virgin ice in the far Arctic, made a
mistake in not making certain allow
ances for currents.
Trying again, he would leave his
ship in its last winter berth, travel
overland to the west and then allow
the current to bear him on the NOV
ing ice, northeast and east, assist
ing him toward the pole. Returning,
he would again drift eastward, calcu-
lating to land on the northeastern
coast of Greenland. Commander Peary
said that he had devoted his life to
the work.

CHARM OF THE czARINA.

She IL . Beautiful Woman With q
Winning Majesty Of Presence.
The general appearance Of the
Czarlna may be fairly well known in
this country, although fewer pictures
have been published Of her than any
other crowned head. But no picture
that had seen gave any idea of how
Abe really looks seen thus face to face.
Perhaps this may be for the reason that
much Of her beauty comes from ex-
quisite coloring and that there Is about
her a subtle charm impossible to pic
ture and dinicult to describe.
She Is very tall and very slender,
yet most finely preportioned- Her
features are almost Greek In their reg.
ularity and the natural expression of
her face struck me at once a. q sing
ularly wistful and sweet sadness that
never went quite away even when she
smiled. Her hair II strikingly beau
tlful and luxuriant. long, heavy. glossy
and brown-gold In color. Her eyes are
large, soft, lustrous gray-blue. with long
lashcs. and I painted them cast down,
as they nearly always are. for she 10
shy and hardly ever looks up without
q blush.
Yet with all the Czarina's blushing
shyness her bearing impressed me with
a sense of something much deeper and
graver than mere admiration for a
beautiful, graceful woman. 1t b din
cult to define just what this impression
was, but It may be termed majesty.
for lack Of subtler term, and the feel.
ing Of 1t increased during the entire
time that was privileged to enter her
presence. although no one could have
been kinder or more simple In all that

State Auditor Visited The Senator
IN Washington.
WANTS SUPPORT FOR GOVERNOR
But 1t Is Believed He Failed In His
Object---What the Auditor Had
to Say to a Washington

following interesting bit Of political
gossip concerning Senator Scott and

Arnold C. Scherr, of Charleston.
state auditor of West Virginia, and a
candidate for the nomination for the
governorship at the hands Of the re-
publican state convention, which meets
next summer, was at the New Willard
yesterday. Nearly every candidate for
the Office of head of West Virginia
government has been coming to Wash
ington during the past two weeks in
|order to get a line on how he stands
with the two United States senator's,
whose word is considered decisive. Sec
rotary of State Swisher was here to
see Senator Elkins not long ago, and
Gafterward gave 1t out that he had re-
ceived assurance of the senator's sup
port. Mr.. Scherr, however, thinks the
two senators are still neutral. IL

BLAZE At BERKELEY
Fire Destroys Part Of Pitlsburg
Sand Co.'s Plant.
DRYER AND ELEVATOR BURNED
And Operations at the Big Plant
Will Be Suspended Until They
Are Rebuilt Loss Amounts
to About 1880.

The big plant of the Pittsburg Sand
Co, located short distance south of
Berkeley Springs, was threatened
with total destruction about o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, when the huge
drying tanks, built partly of wood and
partly of iron, and the great wooden
elevator, were fired Good work on the
part of the employees, as well as the
fact that the elevator and dryer are
detached from the other portion of the
plant, was probably all that prevent
ed more disastrous blaze.
The fire broke out in the dryer, and
is supposed to have been caused by
the hot sand passing through this
portion of the works. The blaze was
soon communicated to the elevator,
and in short time the whole was in
mass OF ruins.
The blaze created great excitement,
and several persons had narrow es-
capes from injury.
The loss will be about $500, and
an amount of insurance sufficient to
cover this is carried in companies re-
presented by Mr.. Harry S. Thompson,
Of this city.
A telephone message to The Even
ing Journal from one of the officials
of the company today states that the
work of rebuilding the burned dryer
and elevator will be commenced as
soon as the loss is adjusted. Mr..
Thompson received telegram today,
notifying him of the fire, and will ad !.
just the loss Immediately.
The above official stated that the
plant would be compelled to suspend
operations until after the work Of
rebuilding shall have been completed.

MR.. BRANTNER ENCOURAGED
BY VISIT TO OFFICIALS.
officers Of the Baltimore 6 Ohio
Railroad Co. to Discuss Project to
Remove Works to This City.

Mr.. z. r. Brantner, superintendent
of the Baltimore & Ohio shops at this
point, has returned from Baltimore,
where he went this week to talk over
the removal OF the tin shop at the
Mt. Glare works to this city with the
officials of that company.
While Mr.. Brantner has nothing of
definite character to make public, he
expressed himself as being greatly en-
couraged over the prospect Of trans
ferring the tin works to this city. He
stated that the matter would now go
before the higher officials for dis
cussion, and that some definite reply
to his proposition will probably be
received in a short time.
Another local railroad official stat
ed that he believed there is splen-
did prospect of the removal of the tin
works from Mt. Glare to this city, and
that it would mean the employment Of
a number of additional men here.
