W. Greedy, the famous Arctic explor-

In the Orient on leave of absence. His
asst command was that of the depart

St. Paul, where he was recently sue
ceeded by Brig. Gen. Winfield S. Ed

Few If any officers of the United
States army have enjoyed such a
wide measure of fame during recent
years as has Gen. Greedy. 1t is now
something more than quarter of a
century ago that he attracted world
wide attention by a polar expedition
OF which he was the chief. This expe
dition sailed northward in 1881. II
contained 25 members, of whom only
seven came back. Two relief expedi
tons failed to find the Greedy party
and when finally rescued by the third
expedition, sent under command OF
Capt. Winfield S. Schley, the survivors
of the party were nearly crazed with
hunger. At the time he made this
expedition to the polar seas, Gen
Greedy was a lieutenant in the Fifth
cavalry. The expedition reached 6
point farther north than any previous
record.

The reason that congressman are

because the congressman are criti-

NEGOTIATIONS are being conducted
IN by the Michigan and federal au-
thorities for scientific compaign of
wolf killing in the upper peninsula.
1t is quite probable that within
month Vernon r. Bailey, the wolf ex-
pert in the biological survey, will go
into the upper peninsula and will in
augurate the campaign. With Mr..
Bailey and the officials of the bio
logical survey, Game Warden Pierce
has been in correspondence. The plan
which has been considered contem-
plates cooperation between state and
national authorities. Mr.. Bailey will
spend about month on the ground,
and during that time he will instruct
agents Of the state in the best method
of catching wolf pups in dens and of
trapping the old ones.
Mr.. Pierce is the first of the state
game wardens to seriously take up a
thorough and scientific project for rid
ding the upper peninsula Of the pests

haps more than, all the hunters. The
plans which have been formulated call

Colds EARNING Money.

At the University of Washington
some of the goods have been earning
money by taking care of the faculty
babies. These are the children of
the members of the faculties, whose
wives occasionally want to get away
from the cares Of home life. Many Of
the girls have found it possible to
earn money this way.
ut isn't much trouble" said one Of
them. IF you can get well-behaved
child to take care of you can manage
to do some studying even while see
ing that the children are amused. OF
course, some of them don't give you
time to do that"
Washington is the same institution
where it was arranged recently to
have rowing and track athletics for
the women students under the direc-
ton of the regular athletic trainer
who has charge of the men. Outside
of Sage college, at Cornell and Welles-
ley there are no women's colleges that
go in strong for rowing.

Uncle Sam to Aid in Hunting Wolves

or three men, who will become, under
Mr.. Bailey's instructions, expert in
wolf killing. During three months Of
the spring they will hunt the young in
dens, and during the summer they will
trap the older wolves. They will be
kept busy about six months of the
year.
Mr.. Bailey says that a very rough
estimate Of the number of timber
wolves in the upper peninsula is 200.
In one days travel on snowshoes last
spring he found the tracks of Is differ
ent wolves. A very rough estimate Of
the number of deer killed by the
wolves each winter is from 1000 to
1000, although Mr.. Bailey says that
the number may run much higher. A
single wolf is altogether capable Of
killing ten deer in single night.
In the upper peninsula the wolves
begin to breed about April Is, and the
present plan is that the campaign will
be inaugurated at about that date. The
killing of the pups after they have
been taken from the dens involves no
practical difficulties.
The success that has followed
scientific wolf killing in other parts Of
the country is indicated by reports
from the forest reserves. The bio
logical survey has worked with the
forest service In an effort to clear the
national forests of timber wolves and
coyotes, and reports received by the
survey indicate that between 1,400 and
$500 timber wolves were killed last
year in and near the forests, and about
10000 coyotes.

sHAwLs MADE INTO TuNIcs.
polnter for Fortunate Possessor Of
Grandmother's Flnery.

Nowadays the most unmethodical
search In grandmother's trunk cannot
.ail to reveal some bit OF flnery which
IS adapted to the needs OF modern
styles. Among the most fortunate
finds among family heirlooms Is one
Of the soft, clinging, white China
shawls, which, with their fringe and
their heavy embroidered border, used
to drape the dropping shoulders of SEN
timental maidens of the first half of
the past century.
These snawls have for some years
been In great demand and have
brought from $50 to $3.50. To-day,
however, new use has been discov-
cred for this quaint wrap. Some In
genious dressmaker discovered that IL
the China shawl were dyed In one OF
the new shades 1t might be dropped
over the shoulders and thus coaxed
into one of the tunic shapes which are
SO universally worn this season. To
her who has no sentimental objections
to this conversion the plan provides
one OF the most graceful and distin-
guished tunics imaginable.

civil war as private soldier to be
promoted to the rank Of brigadier
general. He was born in Newbury-
port, Mass, March 81, 1874, and re-
ceived common school education. In
1861, when but few months over II
years of age, he enlisted as private
and became a member of the Byfield
Rifles. Greedy continued with his COM
mand until March, 1863. When a call
was made for non-commissioned Off
GERS to officer the colored troops then
being organized, Sergt. Greedy was
one of the number to respond and
was commissioned as first lieutenant
in the Eighty-first United States col
ored infantry. He served with this
command until the fall of 1866, rising
to the grade of major.
He entered the regular army as a
second lieutenant in March, 1867, and
was promoted to first lieutenant in
1873. Between 1876 and 1879 young
Greedy proved himself to be one of the
most untiring workers in the army.
During that period he constructed
1000 miles of military telegraph in
Texas, Montana and Dakota This I'M
precedented feat made him a marked
man in American military circles.
Then came the expedition to the far
north. In 1881, in pursuance of the
recommendation of the Hamburg in
ternational geographical congress, he
was given command of the United
States expedition to establish one of a
chain of 13 circumpolar stations. The
trying experiences of Greedy and his
little band are well known to all read
ers of history.
During and after the Spanish war
Gen. Greedy had further opportunity
to show his great ability as a builder
of telegraph lines. Under his immedi-
ate direction there were built and OPP
Grated 1000 miles in Porto Rico, $500
miles in Cuba, $50 miles in China dur
ing the Boxer outbreak and 10000
miles of lines and cables in the Phil
ippines. He afterwards installed a
system of $500 miles of telegraph
lines in Alaska, one of these lines be-
ing the first wireless system to be put
to commercial use.
One of Gen. Greely's most brilliant
achievements was the reorganization
on its present efficient basis of the
national weather bureau. Previous to
his incumbency the service was Of a
most crude and untrustworthy charac-
ter. He. began at once to gather me-
neurological data from every reliable
source, and in the course of time he
was able to arrive at something def
mite. He established a complete sys-
tenn of weather stations in various
PARTS of the country and lifted the SER
vice from the plane of ridicule to that
of responsibility.

ABDUL HAMID TO COMPLY
Victor Emmanuel Sends Eleven Bat
tleships and 5,o95 Men--Will
Seize a Small Island.

Rome, April 20.-An Italian squad.
ron under command of Admiral +.
Grenet, will set out today for the
purpose of making demonstration
in Turkish water The squadron
comprises eleven ships and includes
the battleship Regina Elena, com.
manded by the duke of the Abruzzi.
Altogether the vessels will carry
5,095 men, and the objective point
will be Asia Minor, some 100 miles
away.
1t has been decided, IL 1t is deemed
necessary, also to occupy small is
land off that coast, but 1t is hoped
here that Turkey may see the error
of her way and give full satisfaction.
SO that more energetic measures may
be avoided.
The difficulty between the two ma.
tons arises out of the refusal of the
Turkish government to permit the
installation Of Italian postofiices in
Turkish territory, while at the same
time other foreign nations have es-
tablished and are conducting post
offices there without interference.
Considerable irritation has been
! felt here over the murder of an
Italian missionary in Tripoll and the
persecution by Ottoman authorities
of natives who sold land to Italians,
but the present action OF the Italian
| government is based primarily on the
postofflce question. With regard to
this, however, the Turkish ambass.
ador in Rome has pointed out in an
interview that his government has in
no instance granted to the countries
In question such privileges, although
it has tolerated" the postofilces
which they have maintained.
Apparently Turkey came to the
conclusion that the italian govern
ment would never resort to extreme
measures, in view of the fact that
the Macedonian problem is pending
for the settlement of which the ac-
cord of the powers is indispensable
and she went so far as to order de-
| tachments of troops to guard the
Italian postofllces and thus prevent
the work from being carried on. TO
this provocation the Italian admins
tration felt that it could only reply
| with coercive measures, In order to
/ protect the dignity OF italy and safe
guard her rights.
In issuing orders for demonstra-
ton of Italian warships in Turkish
waters, Italy desired clearly to show
that she did not wish to take advan.
tage Of the situation for the purpose
Of occupying any territory. Thus the
demonstration will not occur OF
Tripoli, nor is 1t intended to in
| iuence the Balkan problems by direc-
ting the fleet towards Albania or
Macedonia. The squadron will 20
direct to Asia Minor
Great satisfaction Is felt here, and
it is stated that all the powers have
approved Italy's decision to take re
course to force, IL necessary, to pro
tect her interests, which is an lndica
ton that they believe that Italy has
no intention OF permanent territorial
/ occupation.
1t was learned last night that eight
destroyers will join the squadron,
/ bringing the number Of men In the
| fleet up to nearly 1000, with about
500 big guns. 1t is expected that the
! demonstration will begin ON Thurs
day.

Saves STOCKINGS.

A practical minded society maiden;
has discovered that she can save wear
on her silk stockings by powdering
the inside Of her slippers.
This simple operation permits the
silk and shoe to rub together with de-
cidedly less friction.
Another girl who wears exquisitely
embroidered stockings with all her
party frocks has hit upon a plan that
works well with her for preventing
holes. She used to wear holes at the
back of the heel where tho slipper

pers have band, not more than half
an inch wide, of velvet. the same

Caps as Baseball Shields.

A vacant lot in Beech street, with
its fairly-smooth surface, is in daily
use by the small boys OF the neigh
borhood. Too poor to acquire catch
ing gloves, the youngsters, whose
main pleasure is baseball, use their
heavy wooden caps in the most skill
full manner to check the impact of the
ball In the left hand. The back of
the cap is held, the inside exposed, and
as the sphere comes hurting near the
clutch is relaxed, and the ball is re-
ceived and held with almost unerrins
skill.-New York Tribune.
