Commander Peary Needs
Money to Provide Provis-
ions for Northern Trip.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
THINKS HE WILL BE ABLE TO
REACH THE MUCH SOUGHT FOR
POINT AND MAY START JULY I
ON LONG JOURNEY.

Washington, d. c., June 6.-Captain
Peary, Arctic explorer and present
holder of the worlds farthest North
record, In an interview says:
II am expecting to sail for the North
July !, but | am not certain of it. The
situation is that | shall need money.
Part of the requirements Of the trip
has been met, and with the money al
ready in hand | have bought those
supplies which must of necessity be OBJ
tanned some time in advance The 9TH
err things can be obtained in a few days
l could make the vessel ready to sail
on four or five days notice now
at will take $4,000 to provision and
outfit me for the trip on which | am
positive | will get to the pole. Two
years ago-in April, 1861 got within
200 miles Of the pole. We did that
under conditions which could hardly
have been worse for sledging. l am
positive of making the great trip next
time, and don't believe such a work is
going to be dropped now for want Of
money.

BUSSE IS MARRIED
Chief Executive of Chicago
Took Wife Some Time Ago
1t Is Learned.
HAD HOPED FOR SECRECY.

Chicago, June 6.-The information
has become public that Mayor Fred A.
Busse was married April 20 TO Miss Jo-
sephine Lee of this city. The mayor
confirms the report. The ceremony
was performed by Judge Theodore
Brentano, there being but five persons
present.
Unusual steps were taken TO keep the
story quiet and even the immediate
relatives OF the mayor were not in
formed. Busse was anxious to avoid
all publicity and in order to prevent
the prospective wedding becoming pub
lie, knowledge through the publication
of the marriage license invoked the aid
OF County Clerk Haas, who caused the
license to be numbered back of the cur
rent number and to identify IT caused
it TO be numbered the same as one pre-
viously issued. adding the fraction u.
In this manner the usual publication
was avoided and no number was m.ss-
ing from the list.
Miss Lee is one of three sisters. all
of whom are left by their mother with
a considerable fortune. and she has
known the mayor for seven years.
The wedding took place at 10 O'Clock
in the chambers of Judge Brentano and
after breakfast at a neighboring no.
tel. Mrs. Busse returned to her apart
ments at the Plaza Hotel and the may
or resumed work in his office.

Pittsburg. Pa, June 6.-Miss Alice
Welsh became the bride of Frederick
Hoffman last evening, and when they
stepped out of the door Of the German

their carriage. they found lined up on
either side 90 babies, most of them
yelling as loud as their little lungs
would permit.
The baby assemblage had been ar
ranged by friends of the couple and
their screams of laughter were ming
ed with the cries of the babies.
Mr.. and Mrs Hoffman and their at

TESTS FOR
HORSES THAN MEN
Chicago Firemen Inferior in
Service to Their Animal
Friends.
CHANGES TO BE MADE.
WINDY CITY WILL ENOEAVOR TO
PLACE MEN IN FIRE FIGHTING
RANKS WHO ARE THOROUGHLY
CAPABLE.

Chicago. ILL.,, June 6.-The discovery
by an investigating commission that
Chicago's firemen are not up to the
standard set by the fire horses has re-
suited in a unique tribute to the ami
mails that respond to the alarms and
may lead to sweeping charges in the
city's fire department.. The commits
sion pronounced the work of the
horses as flawless and said that the
work of the human fire fighters, on
whom the safety of the city depends,
was not nearly as efficient. 1t then
came to light that the civil service ex-
animation for the animals is tremen-
dOusly more rigid than the physical
test of the would-be firemen. The an
imals are put through a scientific trial
of strength, endurance, wind, behavior
and speed that would stagger a human
being After this they are kept under
strict training for three or four months
before they are permitted to turn out
to their first fire. AS a result of this
test all inferior horses put in the de-
partment by political pull have been
ItllI6u anu lepldCtu Ny tdDdDIt OutH.
IF we spent as much time and money
getting good firemen as we do in get
ting good horses. there would not be
an incompetent man IN the depart
ment," said Chief Koran. I'VE have
too many one story firemen; they're all
right at a ground floor blaze. But
what we need is ten story riremen, and
we need them badly" The merit
board found that in the examination
of firemen the physical requirements
were unduly subordiated to the men
tai. This will now be changed and
bigger and heavier firemen will be
sought. A similar reform Is planned
in the police department, except that
here the mental test will have greater
weight.

BANKS TO ORGANIZE
First National Currency Asso-
citation Formed in
New York.
OTHER CITIES TO FOLLOW.

New York, June G.-Definite steps to-
ward the organization of a national
currency association in this city, under
the terms Of the new Northumberland
emergency currency law, will not be
taken until some time next week. On
Tuesday next, according to present
plans, a meeting of representatives of
ten of the more important national
banks in the city will be held to take
up the work of organization of the ma
tional banks in this city that desire to
enter into the arrangement to take ad-
vantage of the provisions of the new
law
1t is believed all the larger cities
quickly will follow suit as soon as the
local organization is approved by
Washington and incorporated.
The new law provides that in large
cities ten or more national banks may
combine together in national cur
rency association. This association
is authorized to receive from it's mem
bers securities to receive other than
government bonds, upon which, the
treasury will issue bank notes as addi-
tiOnal circulation.
