CURIOUS PLAN.

visions-Melville and Schley
Indorse It.

NEW YORK, September 14.-What is
pronounced by experts to he the best plan
| for polar research is the novel one pro-
posed by Evelyn Briggs Baldwin.
Il am soon to lay this plan in detail be-
| fore the Harvard Union at Cambridge
says the explorer. but III tell you this
| much now:
Give me a cargo of logs, another of
casks partly filled with emergency sup
plies and single vessel specially con-
| structed and We can go from Behring'S
! strait to the pole and right across the
| Arctic ocean Scatter the logs, portable
houses. casks. etc, upon a group of heavy
ice foes surrounding the ship. shifting the
supplies. if necessary, by means of wind
lasses motors or dogs. and well succeed.
single crew can manage the three car
goes.
Had the jeanette expedition adopted
this plan il would have won.
In my support ear Admiral Melville
stated to me that a small house erected
on the ice al the beginning of the drift of
the jeanette having been blown away be
fore it had been fastened down. was found
two years later less than two miles from
the ship. thus proving that the ship and
ice proceed just as balloon moves with
the atmosphere in which it floats.
with portable studios and laboratories
our artists and scientists may work in
tranquility. With balloons we will view
wide belt of territory, and, as did the
Baldwin-Ziegler expedition, frequently
dispatch messages homeward.
with our logs as fuel. We IL barbecue
the walrus. seal and polar bear. With the
casks as emptied we'll form ffotilla filled
with duplicates of our collections
Good scheme, said Admiral Schley
the other day.

his arrest. Several days ago Palmer was

rewarded by finding a dozen bars of the
stolen tobacco secreted in the bed mat

With Pistol at His Side.
| Married a Year.

ALBANY. n. Y. September 14.-What
appears to the authorities OF Albany as
a murder and suicide occurred early to-
day on the Troy road. just outside of
Albany. The dead body of Michael j.
OLeary. aged about forty-five. a saloon
keeper of Albany, was found lying on the
floor of the kitchen in the home of Fl. A.
Wilkinson his brother-in-law. Nearby In
chair was the dead body of Mrs.
Leary Both had bullet wounds in the
head. The police believe that following
a quarrel OLeary shot his wife and then
killed himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Leary visited Mr., and
Mrs Wilkinson yesterday. According TO
Mrs. Wilkinson. chicken thieves have
been active in the vicinity Of their home.
Her brother told her he and his wife
would remain for the night and watch
for the thieves. Mrs. Wilkinson retired
about 10 o'clock leaving Mr.. and Mrs.
OLeary in the kitchen.
Before she fell asleep Mrs Wilson said
she heard her brother pleading with his
wife TO give him a revolver which the
wife had in her possession. Mrs. Wflkin-
son was later awakened by the sound of
two shots fired in rapid succession.
Rushing to the kitchen, she found the
bodies of her brother and his wife. On
the floor beside O'Learys body was a
- caliber revolver. Coroner Baxter of
Watervliet was called.
Mr. and Mrs O'Leary were married
about a year ago

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd


CUMBERLAND. Md.
September Is. 1905.
Mr.. Albert Stewart and son, Frank
Stewart. arrived in Cumberland last night
on their return to their home in Wash
ington, ID. c., in their REQ car. They
had been to tniontown. Pa, and Con-
fuence, Pa. Mr.. Albert Stewart is ma
tive of rniontown, but he has been liv-
ing in Washington for some years. He
is a grandson of Abram Stewart who
was superintendent of the Braddock road.
a route to the west before the days of the
national pike.
Mr. Stewart tells an interesting story
of the death of Braddock. handed down
by his grandfather. which has never
heretofore been published. He says that
his grandfather had a force of men work
ing on the Braddock road about eight
miles this side of Unionaown. when there
suddenly appeared from the bushes
Thomas Fossett. noted deer hunter in
his day: fossett told the men If they
would dig further down they would come
upon the body of Gen. Braddock. They
did as suggested. and the body was ex-
humed and was reinterred amidst a
slump of trees nearby. and it still rests
at the same spot which is marked with
a tablet. Young Mr.. Stewart took pho
tograph of Braddock's grave on this trip.
How Braddock Was Killed.
Fossett then explained to Mr. Stewart
grandfather the manner in which Gen.
Braddock met his death. FosSett con-
fessed that he killed Gen. Braddock with
the trusty deer rifle which he was then
carrying. The French and Indians were
all in ambush BraddOck was conceited
and arrogant and knew nothing of Indian
warfare. He wanted to fight in the open.
He was exposed when he was shot. as
We're many of the English soldiers. who
We're completely bewildered by the Indian
method of fighting. Fossett was behind
a tree. as he was acquainted with Indian
warfare. and he was fighting the redskin
after his own style. Fossett's brother
was also behind tree picking off In
dians. Gen. Braddock happened to see
him. and he upbraided him for not fight
ing in the open. and slapped him over the
back with the broadside of his sword
This SO angered Thomas Fossett, who
saw what had happened. that he fired on
Gen Braddock and he fell MORALLY
wounded
This happened near Braddock Pa In
the retreat the wounded general was car
ried to point near Cniontown. where
he died. and the body was hastily buried
at the point which Fossett had pointed
out to prevent its falling into the hands
of the Indians

CAN NOW TALK TO ALASKA
WIRELESS CONNECTS SEATTLE
WITH SAFETY HARBOR.
Message Will Soon Come From
Frozen North All the Way
to This City.

The most important government stations
in Alaska are now in complete wireless
communication with the United States.
The Signal Corps has completed the es-
Establishment of six wireless stations at a
cost of over S1GON'0, which will insure
continuous communication in every sea
son of the year.
AT Safety HarbOr. on the northern coast
of the Alaskan peninsula. ten-kiloWatt
station has been erected. This connects
with similar station at Fort Gibbon.
Tanna from where the wireless system
continues to Fairbanks and Circle City,
each Of which has a three-kilowatt sta
ton.
Eagle, on the Canadian border, is con-
nected with these two stations, and with
Mummy Island. where a twenty klowatt
station is also connected by cable to Cor
dova, on the southern coast of Alaska.
From there the messages are jumped
to Sitka and to Tatooch Island, off Seattle,
Wash. by the navy.
While these various stations have been
in communication with each other, 1T Is
expected that within a few days the first
message will be received in Washington,
clear through from Safety Harbor. Gable
lines in Alaska. it has been found. are
often cut away DN ice lloeS anu teic-
graph lines are put out of commission
by forest fires. thirty-seven miles of wire
having recently been wiped out in that
way.
Signal Corps Did It.
Wireless communication in that far
northern region has been found to be
very successful, the Signal Corps having
maintained for a number of years a
communication in this way across Norton
sound, between Nome and st. Michael.
The new wireless system will therefore
be most effective in maintaining communi-
cation during the spring. when 1t is al
most impossible to do so in any other
manner. as the snow is soft and impass-
able and floods prevail throughout the
country.
The Signal Corps has about 80 men sta
toned in Alaska. The officers who have
established the wireless stations are:
Capt. Mack X. Cunningham. Capt. Han
son B. Black, Lieut.. Charles l.. Willard
and Lieut.. E. Alexis Jeunet, who is in
charge of the work.

CHANGE IN SCHOOL TERMS
MRS. NlBLAcK FAVORs AN IN
NoVATIoN IN sYsTEm-sUm
MER AND WINTER TERMS.

Mrs. Mary V. Niblack. superntend-
ont Of schools in this county. IS
advocatin an innovation in the school
term in the rural districts, so that
agl'u urc may be- taught in the
most practical manner, and instead
of having one nine-months term OF
school as Is the custom throughout
the country to have two terms one
of three months and one OF five
months, which terms will be known
as the summer and winter terms Of
school. and through the season when
the cultivation OF the various crops
Is at its height, and when the gath.
cring is about over with The sum
mer term Will begin about the middle
OF July and continue through until
the middle Of September, SO as 10
give the children an opportunity TO
assist in harvesting the crop. The
winter term will begin ON or about
the middle of November and con.
tinue through until June SO as the
teachers may hold their normals In
the month OF June.
The plan has the endorsement Of
the state superintendent of cduca-
tlon and will he placed before the
organization of county superintend-
ents for their endorsements Gen.
orally during the harvesting season
but few children are found in a
school room, and Il often happens
that in districts where teachers are
employed at a salary Of 10000 per
month during the months Of Scptem.
her and October not more than ten
or twelve children viii be found IN
school. The other reason. during
the time that the summer school
term is In progress agriculture may
he taught In practical way for
It, Is then that csops are 'being
worked
Mrs. Niblack assigns another good
reason and that Is that the term
OF nine months continuous appli
cation OF child to school worl,
dwarfs the child instead OF devcl
opirg ". and that with the change
and broken term OF work the child
may be better developed both in
mind and body.
