COOK TO TELL NEWARKERS
OF POLAR TRIP NOVEMBER 6.
Brooklyn Explorer Will Lecture
Here on That Date.

One side of the justly celebrated con-
troversy over the discovery of the
North Pole is to be indirectly aired in
erick A. Cook will lecture at Krueger's
Auditorium.
That the Newark public will not hang
back to weigh the merits of the con
troversy. but will vociferously welcome
the man who say he reached the
frozen goal of Arctic explorers n year
before Peary is assured from the nan
ner In which DIR. Cook has been re-
ceived all over the vountry.
The Brooklyn explorers manager an
nounced today that the lecture would
be given here November 6. Cook has
moi been in the habit of going into the
details of the actual controversy on the
platform to any great extent. but his
own story of how he faced the perlls
of the Far North and found the point
under the north star. from where all
roads lead to the south Is practically
en- unofficial presentation Of his side of
the case.
It seems assured that DIR. Cook will
be greeted here by a very large audi
ence. When IL comes to hearing a man
of action tell how he did something
that no one else has ever been able to
do. the Newark public is about as
avid as that of any section of the
country.
The Newark engagement was not
scheduled long in advance, but was ar
ranged to fill an unexpected interval in
which the lecturer had no date

the situation is acute. The band of
naval officers which on Wednesday
quilted the. capital and withdrew to the

The Greek fleet is anchored at

Many of the junior naval officers in
Athens disavow the revolt. Great ex-
element prevails in this city and the
ministry of marine is guarded by
troops.

day to discuss the action of the Board

Whereas, Attention has been called

RACE SUICIDE.

That the size of the average family
IN the United States has decreased from
5.9 persons IN 1870, the date of the first
census taken IN this country, to 4.6 in the
same area in 1900, is the interesting fact
shown by the returns about to be pub
lished by the Census Bureau. Sociolo
gists especially will be interested in the
statistics given in this report which have
to do with family life. In 1790 families
composed Of no more than three persons
represented only one-fourth of the entire
number of families, while in 1900 fanail-
les of similar sze made up nearly 40 per-
cent of all families. Families composed
OF six or more persons represented in
1850 more than one.half, but in 1900
scarcely more than one-fourth of the
families enumerated. On the basis of
the proportion shown in 1870, there
would have been in the continental Uni
ted States in 1900, 39,5o0,OO children,
whereas there we're less than "a 100000.
In 1870 the Smiths led all the rest, there
being 33,245 Of this family in the coun-
try, while other families followed in this
sequence; Brown, Davis, Jones, johnson
Clark, Williams, Miller and Wilson.
These nine names represented about 49b
of the total white population Of $780,

BIG UNDERTAKING.

which, if carried out will enormously
develop western Canada. 1t is an
nounced that the project of constructing
railroad from Edmonton to Fort Nc
Murray, on the Athabasca River, has
been successfully financed in Europe,
and that the construction of the line,
which is to be $50 miles in length, will
be begun this summer. When tits com
pleted, there will be only the series of
raprds at Fort Smith to interrupt con-
tinuous communication by land aud
water to the Arctic Ocean. The Govern
ment engineers who have been surveying
tor the railroad to Hudson Eay recon-
mend Port Nelson as a terminus in pre-
ference to FTt Churchill The distance
from Pas, on the Saskatchewan River,
to Fort Nelson Is estimated at 397 miles.

the vicinity of the school house. The
settlement of these matters will not be
long delayed, if the reported plans of the
company are brought to a head. The
vice pres dent, is said to be expected
here shortly.
There are all sorts of rumors current
regarding the identity of the company,
its purposes, future connections, etc.,etc.
A recent copy of Butte newspaper
stated that the new line was believed to
be part of the Milwaukee system,
which desired to get an entrance into

would prove a good feeder for North Da-
kota business.
The local officials of the Midland COM
pany are discreet and reticent in regard
to the movement of the road, and their
superiors'' plans. They declare the Mid
land is an independent railroad company.
At present the activities of the local en-
gineers are said to be directed to secur-
ing the right of way between Edgeley
and jamestown. Important disclosures
of nature to actually determine certain
surmises regarding his proposed railroad
which is yet on paper, not on the ground

ment and contract of the subscribers to

LIQUOR REGULATIONS.

After the 1st of July citizens of the
state who drink beverages other than
water will do so largely at the pleasure
;and permission of Professor Ladd, the
state pure food commissioner. By the
new liquor inspection law which takes
effect July 1st, all liquors sold legally in
the state must be passed upon and
approved by Professor Ladd. Only
druggists: are authorized to sell liquor.
Every brand of whiskey that is sold
must he analyzed and approved as pure
by the state pure food commissioner or
it tcannot be sold without the incurring
of,a tiue. The charge for an exami-
natian of brand of whiskey or brandy
is $50. and this money goes to the agri-
cultural college at Fargo to be expended
as the board of directors deems best.
The same examination and approval will
have to be made of wines, for which a
fee of $50 is charged, and of beer, ales
and porter, for which fee of S85. is
charged. This fee covers brand and
does not, of course, have to be paid in
he case of each salesman.
Pop, ginger ales, fruit drinks and other
brands dispensed by soda fountains, will
also have to be analyzed and approved
and fee of $40. is charged for each
brand or kind. The penalties for sale
of liquors or beverages not approved are
levied against the druggists orthe bever-
age dispenser, SO that tho enforcement
of the law can be made effective.
The result of this law Should be to
put beverages sold in the state in the
class Of pure drinks, SO fur as their in
gradients are concerned, if they are not
altogether to be classcd as healthful
