Lady Cook. formerly known as
Tennessee Clahin, undertook to
register at a New York polling place
last Saturday but was of course e
fused She has now announced her in
tention Of carrying on d crusade for
woman's suffrage. Many ADLER woman
than she have been engaged in this
work for years. but as yet have not
met with success. Possibly she thinks
that she can do more for the cause
than they have been able to accom-
plish but it does not seem probable.

Complaint has been made that grape
fruit recently shipped from Florida has
been sent out in such green condition
as to make it of little value for market
ing A large part of the receipts at
New York were placed in warming
rooms IN order to put the fruit into a
fit condition for retailing. 1t Is useless
to try to force the market on this fruit,
which will not be in prime condition
for shipment for some weeks t" come.

Reports from New York state that
although arrivals of Maine potatoes at
that point have been very heavy the
demand for them has been sufficient to
absorb the offerings At the docks
bags containing 165 pounds have been
selling at from $500 to $2.10 and in the
yards from s21S to s2.25 in 1So-pound
bags out Of the cars. Dealers think
that these prices will hold firm for
some little time to come. The crop OF
potatoes abroad has been very heavy
this season. but the protective tariff
makes it impossible for them to enter
and absorb the American market as
would certainly be the case were it not
for the duty of 25 cents per bushel
which they are obliged to pay under
the Dingey law.

The nose of the English athletic
world is again out of joint. English
traditions as regards supremacy in
long distance racing were rudely shat

Whether DR.. Cook of Brooklyn mas
perished amid the many perils OF the
Arctic or has discovered the north pole
and is On his way homeward. is one OF
the mysteries of the day. While Com
mander Peary was making his ar
rangements last year DR.. Cook stole
quietly away and has since been
heard from at Etah. Greenland, and
at indefinite points further north. 1t
looks as if Dr. Cook were striving to
reach the pole over the route laid out
by Peary and it is not impossible, Of
course. that while Peary was delay
ing his start. the Brooklyn doctor has
succeeded in the great quest Dr.
Cook is an experienced Arctic and
Antarctic traveller and while his train
ing has not been SO thorough as that
of Commander Peary he is by no
means an amateur. There is little sig
nificance in the fact that he has not
been heard from for many months. but
the next news from him will be await

There is a note of comedy in me
latest news from the seat of the
Balkan war rumors. Servia which is
making faces at Austria. suddenly dis
covers that all it's ammunition for MS
new and powerful batteries is side
tracked upon an Austrian railway
many miles beyond the border. IL
may be simply coincidence that the
Austrian transportation system should
break down just when Servian powder
is in transit, but on the other hand
many people will suspect that the
Austrians are purposely hanging onto
the ammunition of their enemy.
Servia takes the situation very
seriously. but it would hardly be
expected to ask Austria to hurry up
the powder required to enable Servian
troops to fire on the Austrian army.
The present situation seems to make
for peace and may well be continued
indefinitely.

There Is no better evidence OF the low
estate to which the Democratic party
in Massachusetts has fallen than the
nomination of James H Valley as its
candidate for governor This man was
not known to the public at all till he
became counsel for the defense Of
Tucker. He gained some celebrity In
that trial. and was made senator on the
strength Of that notoriety. He was
ambitious for the nomination as gov
crnor. which ne was allowed to have,
because none of the really strong men
of the party wanted it this year.
