WHAT THE POLE COST.

An AIl-Absorbing Mystery Exchanged
 for Q Waste of fee.
 St. Louis Republic.
 We have won the real pole--a vast expanse of snow, purple under the sunlight, white as death under the wheeling Arctos and the cold moon through the long months of the winter night. We have won one landscape. but we have lost many. The polar cat aract, plunging with awful thunders into the abyss. as pictured in the lurid tale of Poe: the dream of the "concen- tric spheres"; the vision of terrestial paradise, a land of strange valleys whose green grasses and blue gentians grow clean to the ultra-marine mar gins of the ice; the lift of mighty mountains under the boreal sky, with the smoke plumes of volcanoes greater than Erebus and Terror waving above the summits; the mystery of sea that remained unfrozen while waters far to the south were locked fathoms deep in ice; the faces and speech of hyper boreans. with whom. in eternal youth. were Andree and his companions. All these we had but yesterday, yet they are gone, and gone forever. exchanged for one commonplace waste Of wind swept ice!

BIG VIRGINIA CROPS.
YtelA of Peaches and Apples Predict
 ed Unusually Large.

ed Unusually Large.
 Reports received from all the fruit rrowinr sections of West Virginia by Postmaster Alexander Clohan. of Mar tinsburR. president of the Horticultural Society. indicate that the apple ana peach crop will be fully up to the standard of past years both in quan- tity and quality. and that in some sec tions the yield will be much larger than last year, In several sections however, the crop will be faiiure' notably in the Tunnelton. Terra Alta. Ionr Beach, and Meadow Bluff dis trtcts. In the New Cumberland or- chards the crop will about double that of last year. when more than 3O.OO0 barrels were shipped. and the same condition Is also reported from the Red Sulphur Springs district
 The crop in Berkeley county will be enormous. althouRht estimated ct only about sixty per cent of the full capa- city of the orchards. Last year about SC. 0O0 barrels of apples and many thousand bushels of peaches were shinpeJ from Berkeley county. and a conservative estimate of the yield this year, with favorable weather condi- tions for the next few weeks places the output at about 100. 900 barrels of apples and double the quantity of neaches gathered last year.
 In the past Berkeley county apples have ben sold on the trees from $2.50 to S5 A barrel, according to quality. and as the quality this year, owing to irnproyed methods of cultivation and snrayinR is above the average. the prices are expected to be even higher than In past years.

POLICE HAVE BUSY
 DAY YESTERDAY

The police of Montgomery had a very busy time of 1t yesterday. The force made twenty-five arrests before o'clock this morning a record for the past six months. The nearest approach to this record is twenty-two arrests for one Sunday
 The caSes docketed, range from lott ering to assault with intent to mur- der. A remarkable coincidence of the day is the fact that five of the twen- ty-f1ve new prisoners gave their busi- ness as clothes pressers." Four of the clothes pressers were negroes and one white.
 Three of the arrests were made for gaming. one for alleged violation of the prohibition law.
 In addition to the large number ot new prisoners brought in last night, the stock of seized liquors was in- creased by cask and a half of beer which was found in the rooms of the Southern Dye Works when that place was raided.

TOLD CABIN BOY.
Dr, Cook Conflded in One Member of
 Roosevelt Crew.

Dr. Cook ConAded fin One Member 0t Roosevelt Crew. Battle Harbor. Labrador. (By Wire less via Cape Ray. N. F) Sept. 19-ont l of the men on the steamer Roosevelt at least knew long ago that pr. Fred erick A. Cook had claimed to have reached the pole. He is William Pritch- ard, cabin boy and assistant cook on the Roosevelt. who remained at Anna toI, with Boatswain Murphy to guard the stores.
 Pritchard had not spoken to any one on board of Dr. Cooks achievement. hut when confronted yesterday. just prior to the sailing of the Roosevelt from Battle Harbor. with a wireless message from mid-ocean that pr. Cook said that Pritchard knew the whole story of his dash for the pole. the youth admitted That he had learned from Dr. Cook these details of the final march and that Dr. Cook had explained to him the route followed.
 whether Boastwain Murphy also was informed of pr. Cooks success. Pritch- ard did not know. but unQuestionably Harry Whitney, who was at the store house when pr. Cook returned from his dash with the two Eskimos. is con- versant with all the facts. Whitney did not disclose this interesting piece of news to Commander Peary and Pritchard kept 1t from Peary during the entire voyage of the Roosevelt to Battle Harbor.
 Pritchard said that he was at the house at Annatok with Whitney and Cook while Murphy was at Etah. He heard pr. Cook describe to the New Haven sportsman how he went to the uoIe and remained there two days. He could not remember whether Dr. Cook said he remained there April 21 and April 22. or whether is was April 22 and 23. pr. Cook used a map to H. lustrate the route followed,
 Asked why he had not repeated this on board the Roosevelt, Pritchard said that pr. Cook had told him to say nothing about his having been at the pole until the Roosevelt reached civilfz- ation

Gratifying Interest Displayed In Car
 ing for Landmarks.
 Baltimore Sun.
 A few miles south of Fredericksburg, Va. near Guinea Station. on the Rich mond. fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. is the house in which Stone- wall Jackson, the famous Confederate General, died, on May 10. 1862. He was shot by his own men. who mistook him and his stan for a detachment of Federal cavalry. It is' interesting to learn that this property Is to be pre- served as one of the historic landmarks of the Confederacy. It has been pur- chased by the president of the Rich mond, fredericksburg end Potomac Railroad, who. 1t is reported, will transfer 1t to the company. which will convert the grounds about the building into c park. Stonewaii Jackson died 6 few days after his brilliant flank move ment on Rockers army. at Chancel- lorsville. had furnised new evidence of his genius for war. It is gratifying to note the interest manifested in Virginia in the preservation of the historic places in the Old Dominion. The house in which Jackson died should be pre- served for future generations as a me- morial of one of the greatest of American soldiers.

"Chance."

When you talk Of chance you are
only confessing ignorance. The very
spin Of the coin is governed by the
nerve, muscle or manipulation Of the
thumb and brain that spin it. The
only chance about it is your ignorance
of the forces that lift, twist and catch
the coin. If you could calculate the
physical and mental forces between the
halfpenny's leap and return you might
buy the world. But you can't. And
it's just that bit Of blindness that we
have to call chance.-London Chronicle.
