 Tn that party were Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Robert s. Dunn, Ralph l.. Shainwald. Fred Printz and myself. After making two attempts to scale the mountain that year and failing, we returned to Seattle

 Ask the doctor about it, he would answer. He told me not to say any. thing about it.
 Cook told The story of the ascent flo ns several times on the way out. Later met Bawill in Missoula, where he told me the facts of the trip. He said neither he nor Dr. Cook made the summit of Mt.

 That point would make a good top for Mount Mckinley It looks just about like t--e gun sight peak would look on Mount Mckinley, which we had been looking at from the saddle. In about half an hour after the pictures were taken, we fixed up our packs and at about l0:30 or 11:0O o'clock on September 13, we started down and arrived on the place desig' mated in Exhibit O as sixth camp, the doctor saying that he wanted to go around there in order to get fur. her up on the main glacier 80 as to get a view of the N E.

 As the doctor had seen the noun. tain from all sides excepting this side and as this was the side where he proposed to claim that he had climbed it he wished to know the nature of the ridge leading up to the tcp of the mountain.
 In doing this we put in the bal. ance of the 1olh and all of the 14th and 18th of September and at the eighth camp on September 15, pr. 1 Cook made his observations of the ridge. We then turned back from this camp for the reason that we had both fallen through crevasses as cor. | rectly stated in the diary and we considered it too dangerous to pro ceed further with snow shoes as the doctor had obtained good view of the ridge which was all he wanted"

 nie,' the Indian control remarked through the medium that this Chi nese was not a great Chinaman like the Big Chief as the Indian girl always calls man of high stanmng), but had been a common Chinaman.
 He no like you. Big Chief" sad the Indian girl to the diplomat The used to be q washee, washee, washee; you great Chinaman who tallzee, talkee. talkee, heap much talkee alla time"
 Suddenly the medium made most profound salaanf before Dt-. wu and Minnie" informed him that his mother was there and wished to give him message.
 Ask her to speak to me" said Wu.
 At that request the medium uttered, as if with great difficulty sentence in the Chinese language or as near to 1t as It might be possible for an Indian girl, able to speak only the most broken English, to repeat to an American that difficult foreign tongue. This in turn passing from the lips of another woman, necessarily would be somewhat imperfect, but Dr. Wu ap- paren1y understood portions of the message repeated to him and answer ed in Chinese.
 The first sentence was in the nature of a saluation and in reply the states man questioned the spirit" in Chi nese, receiving in answer which seemed undoubtedly to be in Chi. nese, and the conversation continued fully five minutes. Through the medium the Indian control, occas- ionally remarked that Dr. Wu did not . fully understand what the medium was trying to say to him owing to the third hand manner. so to speax. m which the Chinese was reaching him.
 Curing the conveyance of the mes. sage pnrpcuiting to come from Dr. Wu's mother, the medium stood close 10 the diplomat, at times holding his hand and batting him on the snould- CT Finally she kneit in front of him continuing talking .n that position a couple of minutes.
 At the conclusion of this conversa- ton the Indian girl told what she foresaw in the future in connection with the Chinese minister.
 First of all she saw much fighting in the far away country from which he came.
 His native land was preparing, she said, for great struggle. It was building ships of war. Dr. Wu would be yitally interested in this terrible conflict. and would hold an office of great importance.
 Shortly after this. the medium said there came to her a spirit. a friend of the minister's, who was not one of his own country, but was an Anferi- can This spirit gave 10 the medium the name of William and finally after some hesitation, she uttered the last name as Mckinley
 The "controly remarked that the spirit hal left this eash eight years ago. Assuming digAified attitude.

Executive Talks Of His Tour
Of The State.
Philadelphia, Sept. IA.

Philadelphia, Sept. IA.
Governor Edwin S. Stuart, who has
just returned from tour of the state
as guest of various old Home Week"
celebrations, speaks in the most en-
thusi2Stic way OF the evidences OF
prosperity he saw upon every hand.
The people Of Pennsylvania, he says,
are happy and prosperous, and there
are indications everywhere of the ben
eficial results of the passage of the
tariff bill, which does so much to pro
tect Pennsylvania varied interests,
agricultural and industrial and COM
mercial.
The governor believes this will be a
great Republican year and that the
people of this commonwealth will ap-
preciate the work of the Republican
representatives in congress in the en-
actment of the tariff legislation.
AS a personal friend and admirer of
Judge Won Moschzisker, whom he has
Stuart was delighted to learn that the
candidacy of the Philadelphia jurist is
receiving the enthusiastic support of
the influential men of the bench and
bar, who are familiar with his splendid
record upon the common pleas bench.
The Republican nominee for the SUI
preme court, Judge Won Moschzlsker,
is best known to the legal profession
through the many opinions he has
written upon a diversity of subjects
and the fact that these opinions have
been sustained by the highest court in
the state.
Every Pennsylvania should be
proud of Judge Won Moschzisker," re-
marked the governor a few days ago.
"It gives me pleasure to speak of his
worth as a man and his splendid rec
ord as jurist."
Following the formal opening of the
state campaign at the Lehigh county
Republican meeting at Dorneyville,
where nominees for auditor general
and state treasurer respectively, A. e.

stirring addresses, Chairman Andrews

New York. Accompanied by his good
friend, Baron Hochwaechter, who has
visited America several times, the
Prince. a rosy-cheeked, well-set-up
chap of twenty-five years, is having
the time of his life. They have been
here only few days, having come
from a tour of Argentina and Brazil,
but in spite of the weather the Prince
has found time to see a great deal Of
New York life and to spend one day
with the boardwalk promenaders at
Atlantic City.
Prince Guenther is delighted with
everything, Not only is he convinced
that American girls are the most
beautiful and fascinating ne has seen,
but he is equally positive that our
railroads and cities offer the finest
accommodations to travellers found
anywhere on the globe. He said so
to reporter in the ST. Regis.

There is no danger OF your being

"Ach! No. lie declared. Il lam

But if you go to Newport how are

and wrote extensively. A volume of hei
verses is among the cherished posses
sions of her son. Like her husband
she employed her pen to impart tc
northerners the patriotism which
thrilled her. At the battle of Chicka
mauga Brigadier General Steadman
observing a regiment in line of battle
panic-stricl1en and about to retreat
rode forward and, seizing it's flag, ex.
claimed, go back, boys. but the flag
can't go with you" This incident
prompted Mrs. Won Moschzisker tc
write these lines:
Gallant Steadman! cen more than the
soldier art thou,
The wreath of the Poet encircles thy
brow,
The robes of the Prophet thy brave
limbs enfold
AS springs from thy firm lips that cry,
wise as gold.
For onward, still onward, our proud
flag must go,
Bearing JOY to its friends and despair
to the foe;
With liberty, honor and light in its
track,
While life nerves true arm 1t ne'er
shall fall back!
And years will but carry it on in their
flight,
It's stars, now o'erclouded, triumphant
ly bright,
While from OCEAN to ocean an anthem
will roll,
Of praise. from a nations regenerate
soul
Oh, ye, who in manhood heaven dow
ers with a sword.
To draw in defense of your country
and Lord,
If patience, ii faith, hope or courage
e'er lag,
Go back, boys, go back, but not with
you the flag!"
Although both of his parents were
poetic in temperament, Judge Won
Moschzisker would never be suspected
of following the muses..
All of his writings have been of the
most practical sort Of prose. While
he may be said to have inherited lit
erary instincts from his parents, they
run along different lines. He has con-
fined his efforts almost entirely to
writings on the law.
AS was forcibly said by Alexander
Simpson, Jr., in his speech placing
him In nomination for the supreme
bench. Judge Won Moschzisker is "a
writing Judge" He has earned this
reputation while sitting in common
pleas court Nc. 3.
While many Of his colleagues on the
bench have deemed It necessary to
put but few Of their opinions in writ
ing. Judge Won Moschzisker has seen
6t to burn the midnight oil and he has
made an unprecedented record for the
number Of opinions he has placed on
