an ideal place for a dancing party.

An impressive service at ST. Paul s
Episcopal Episcopal church Wednes-
day morning marked the conservation
of a beautiful prayer desk, the gift
of Mrs. E. B. Waddell in memory of
her son, Col. Henry Marsden Wad-
dell, citizen beloved, honored and
lamented. The desk is most artistic
both in design and workmanship. 1t
is of dark walnut and brass, the
twisted columns that form the base
being capped by brass cross, which
metal in dull finish is used also in the
'fIn Memoriam' slate. Fitting it is
that a memorial to Colonel Waddell
be placed in ST. Paul's church, around
which cluster so many associations
of his life, and which he served so
ably and well.

THE DASH FOR THE POLE.
Continued from Page One.)

Marvin left Peary on the way up on
Friday, March rs, to return to the ship.
He had with him two Esquimaux and
II dogs.
The story of the professors death
was obtained from one of the Es1ui-
maux. April 10 Marvin was 45 miles
from Cape. Columbia. He started out
that morning walking ahead. The Es-
quimaux were delayed in packing the
sledges, a fact that permitted Marvin
to get a good start on them. When
the Esquimaux arrived at an open lead
they noticed that the young ice was
broken about rs yards out and they
saw what looked like a mans body
floating in the center of the lead Ow-
ing to the treacherous condition of the
ice the Esquimaux could not venture
out. They returned to the Roosevelt
and reported Captain Bartlett then
went back to the point they designated
and recovered Prof Marvin's spare
boots, clothing and his personal be-
longings which were still on the ice,
where the Esquimaux had left them.
The superstitions of their race pre-
vented them from bringing the dead
mans effects with them. Prof. Marvin
records and observations were saved.

Harvard Begins
Football Season.

Cambridge. Mass, Sept. 13.-Two
dozen tanned and sturdy undergradu-
ates, all of them with several years
experience on the gridiron, trotted out
on to Soldiers field this afternoon with
Captain Hamilton Fish at the head
and a few minutes later the football
season at Harvard had begun. From
now until the climax is reached Nov.
90 in the game with Yale in the Sta
dunn, football will lead in the sport
ing interest in the college and a score
of coachers with Percy Haughton at
the head, will bend their energies to-
ward repeating last years victory over
the Blue.
Before going out on to the field which
has remained in peaceful seclusion
since the mimic armies of the Maid of
Orleans dashed over it's greensWard,
the football warriors were given a
few minutes talk by Coach Haughton
and Captain Fish. The playing scheme
for the season was outlined and every
man was urged to take good care of
himself not only physically but inter-
lectually for scholarship and good col
lege standing plays fully as much part
in making the team as brute strength
and knowledge of the game.
Then the squad dashed out of the
locker room, the pigskin ovals scared
aloft, the dummies were tackled and
training began.

WEALTH OF GERMANY.
Remarkable Increase is Shown in the
Last Fifteen Years.

London, Sept. 13.-The foreign office
has received the report on the trade of
Frankfort from Consul General Sir
Francis Oppenheimer, the figures being
for the year ended April last.
In 1907" the report states, 1.-The high
rate of exchange had made borrowing
practically an impossibility.F New
stocks and new shares could not be
issued, and the most necessary loans,
public and private, had to stand back.
In the course of 1908, the bank rate
was lowered by 1-2 per cent fron
71-2 per cent. in January to per
cent. in June), and in consequence the
market was flooded with new issues.
The aggregate of the German issues is
more the $3.50, 100000, and by far the
greater share of this tremendous sum
was taken up in Germany Foreign
purchases of participations were adj
mittedly disappointing and insignifi-
cant.
THE wealth which prominently the
last worlds boom had brought into
Germany, and which paid for all these
loans, is nothing short Of stupendous.
The consumption of the amount repre-
sented by the public issues in Germa J
is all the more remarkable, as these
investments are, owing to the stamp
duties, apt to entail actual losses I'M
less intended for alqprolonged period,
and municipal loans being unstable

Quebec to Cut Off Own
Supply Of Pulp Wood
Cut from Grown Lands---Time
Not Yet Decided On.
American Paper Manufacturers
will Build Mills In Canada.

New York, Sept. 13.--The Province OF
Quebec has definitely decided to pro-
hibit the expectation of pulp wood from
crown lands. In September, 1900, the
premier of the province made prom
Use that the stumpage rates OF 6o cents
per cord on wood cut from crown
lands would not be raised for period
of 10 years. 1t is intended to carry
out that pledge and no increase IN
stumpage charges will be made until
September, 1916.
The Canadian papermakers are urg-
ing the provincial authorities to stop
the expectation of pulp wood from
crown lands, but the american own
ers of rights to cut timber on more
than $4,000 square miles of those lands
represent that the pledge of Septem-
Der, 1900, implied a right of importa-
ton for 10 years and that in good faith
no prohibition should be made until
the lapse of that period.
The Canadian paper and pulp inter-
est retort that the pledge specifically
related to stumpage taxes, not to ex-
portation. and that the extension OF
that privilege to American owners for
another year WHY retard Canadian
plans and discriminate against Cana
dian manufacturers who now suffer
because of the retaliatory clauses of
the United States tariff Of print
paper.
The provincial authorities are bal
ancing the question whether they
should prohibit the expectation of pulp
wood on Jan. /, 1910, or Sept. l, 1910.
They calculate that the new policy will
add over 100000 per annum in reve-
nues. They are informed that the In
terests controlling the Berlin Mills
property in New Hampshire are plan
ming to install print paper mill plant
at La Tuque, Canada, and that the
International Paper Co. has prepared
plans for numerous locations for pa
per mills in Canada-that company
having stopped the manufacture of
print paper at number of it's moro
expensive mills in the United States.

NOBODY'S CLAIM.
Paris Newspaper Says Pole Doesn'
Belong to Any Particular Nation.

Paris, Sept. 13.-The Temps today,
discussing the sovereignty of the
North Pole, expresses the opinion that
the relative permanence of the ice
there might properly raise the ques-
ton whether this territory comes I'M
der the ordinary international rules APP
plying to land and the high seas. The
paper insists, however, that exploring
expeditions such as Cooks and Pearys
cannot give title and to this end it
quotes Calvo to the effect that the ac
quiring of sovereignty is involved with
effective occupations, namely accom-
panied or followed by the commence
ment of administrative organization or
commercial and industrial exploitation.
A majority of the authorities agree,
the paper says, that the simple plant
ing of the flag is not sufficient. It
points out that this doctrine was at
firmed by the international conference
at Berlin of 1884 and that it was ap-
piled by the Pope when he acted as
mediator between Germany and Spain
in 1885 in the dispute regarding the
Caroline islands. The Pontiff held
that Spain was obliged to occupy the
islands effectively. More recently the
entire question between Turkey and
Italy regarding Massouah hinged upon
this point.
The Temps also again severely
criticizes Commander Peary'S broad
cast accusations" against DR.. Cook, as
we'll as his general grandiloquent at
titude," saying in this connection:
"Peary's patriotic declaration about
taking possession of the Pole in the
name of the President of the United
States contrasts strangely with the
commercial spirit he displayed in
copyrighting the story"

Fire Drives Guests from
Long Island Hostehy.
Nearly a Hundred Barely E.
cane Death in Flames.
Building Valued at S76,ooo.''ln'
cendiary Origin Suspected.

Edgentere, l.. l., Sept. 13.-In fire
which destroyed the Holmeshurst Inn
here today before daylight, rs guests
and 20 employees had narrow escapes.
The fire, which the proprietor said was
undoubtedly Of incendiary origin, start
ed in the basement and worked up
through the frame structure so rapid
~ that the entire first Tloor was ab]aZe
before the guests were given the
alarm. While most of the guests were
able to leave by the stairways, half
dozen, among them two women, leaped
from a second-story balcony, but We're
not seriously hurt.
The guests lost practically all of
their jewelry and clothing. They were
cared for in neighboring cottages The
hotel building was valued at $4,000.
A high wind blowing in from the sea
carried the sparks to the colony of
cottages and the cottages formed buck
ct brigadcs to prevent the spread OF
the flames.
William Holmes son of the owner,
ran to his mothers room on the second
floor and found his escape cut off by
Il wall of flame. Taking his mother in
his arms, he jumped from the window
into a flower bed. Neither was hurt.
An elevator boy ran his car with
great bravery until the flames licked
the electric cables and stopped the
elevator between the first and second
floors with a load of guests. They got
door open and all escaped by jump
ing from the second-story windows.
The building was a four-story struc.-
tire and burned so rapidly that there
was barely time to escape from the
danes. Several women who had reach>
ed the ground in safety rushed back
i'm search OF children and jewelry but
were taken out safely by the firemen.
Several CT the guests VINO We're stay
ing at the inn could not be found af-
ter the fire, but were believed to have
found shelter in neighboring cottages.
In the opinion of the ijremcn no lives
we're lost.
