TO SEEK POLE
ON ice FLOES
BAL OWN WILL LAY A NOVEL
PLAN BEFORE THE PREsI-
DENT,

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Baldwin, the
Arctic explorer, was a caller at the
White House yesterday, but was un-
able 10 see the president. He came to
lay before Mr.. Roosevelt new plan
for exploring the Arctic regions and
discovering the north pole.
His idea, which has been indorsed
by Admiral Melville, one of the sur
vivors OF the jeanette expedition, Ad-
miral Schley and Sir Purdon Clark,
director of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York, is to utilize one
Of the many huge ice foes which drift
from the Behring sea across the Aric-
tic regions and eventualls, reach the
coast of Greenland.
These foes take three years and a
half in their drift across BY estab-
fishing a camp of portable houses and
scattering logs and casks OF oil and
provisions under one of these foes,
Mr.. Baldwin believes It possible to
discover the pole, to make scientific
Investigations and secure photographs
heretofore unobtainable. Phe party
would consist Of twenty or twenty
five persons, including scientists, nat
uralists and artists.
Investigation has shown that these
ice foes, starting north of Behring
strait, drift in regular course across
the Arctic. Portions of the wrecked
jeanette and drift casks started from
that point have been picked UP off the
coast of Greenland.

CHILDREN GIVE
FINE CONCERT
JUNIOR PUPILS or THE SISTERS
OF ST. BENEDICT DELIGHT A
LARGE AUDIENCE LAST NIGHT
WITH ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME
SENIORS NEXT TUESDAY.

delightfully."- entertaining concert,
last night, was one given by the jun
Tor pupils of the Sisters of st. Bene-
dict at st. Joseph's hall. before an
audience which crowded the spacious
room. About twenty-five boys and
girls participated in a well arranged
programme which reflected ambition
in every part Of it. A competent one
in the audience said the little folks
acquitted themselves splendidly and
produced unmistakable evidence of
very careful and thorough training,
conducted by the corps Of painstaking
and devoted women who form the
teaching force of the parochial school,
of which the Sisters of st. Benedict
have charge, in Moorhead. Accuracy
was particularly noticed and in not
one of the selections on the programme
of ten numbers could the most acute
ear detect discordant note.
The programme opened with piano
trio (three pianos and nine players)
Fruhling's March, by Tutschek, the
time and expression being perfectly
ployed There were three such num-
bers distributed in the programme,
each being played by different sets of
boys and girls. A selection greatly ad-
mired was Bristow's duet, If Were a
Girl, If / Were Boy, sung by R. Sim
onitsch and B. Smith, whose voices
and natural acting places them in the
rank of very promising students. They
showed, too that they were properly
responsive to discipline. Little Ellen
Smith made many admirers by her
rendition of Westuedorf's pretty com
position, kissing Papa Through the
Telephone. The mandolin music was
received with many favorable COM
ments as was a chorus by thirty jun
Tor girls. 1t was a junior concert, but
1t was many points ahead of the usual
entertainments given by young folks,
and the feature of it was the display
Of the thoroughness in the training of
the young minds.
Next Tuesday evening the seniors OF
the school will give their programme.
which is one of vocal and instrumental
interpretations by the best of masters
and music composers. Two chorus
numbers are underlined.
