This formal action will be made

circulated about the couple since a
year,ago.

Japanese Rice Cloth.

The artistic and expensive Japan
ese rice-cloth with its soft coloring
and indescribable sheen, has been
closely copied in some of the new
wall papers, while leather and bur
lap effects are shown in great variety
in the popular and durable "Sanitas"
that appeals to most housewives, not
only because Of its beauty of finish
and coloring, but because of its prac-
ticality, since a damp sponge restores
its original color and and freshness
and cracks in walls do not show un-
der substantial covering. The new
floral designs are especially pretty
for chambers, and upstairs living
rooms, while tile patterns and Dutch
borders are charming for bath rooms,
kitchens, pantries and nurseries.

The Bungalow Craze.

Now that so many people are real
or prospective "Bungaloafers" an
immense impetus has been given to
the manufacture of fittings and fur
nishings that are at once attractive,
durable and not too costly for these
simple homes where one can lead a
life more free from care than has
hitherto been possible to any but
tent dwellers. These simple cottages
as a rule have as many Of the nee
essary luxuries in the way of bath
gas stoves, etc as one finds
in a high priced city apartment.
With the airiness and space and
outdoor life added it is small won
der that this form of living has
"caught on like wildfire and that
houses put up at first only for sum-
mer occupancy are being used for
all round homes.

Some of the New Papers.

Very attractive were some of the
colored sketches shown lately at a
prominent Broadway hotel where
the wall paper and decorative man
ufacturers held their convention.
Some papers that were especially
lovely in color and texture were OF
soft, neutral tintings for the side
walls; grays, greens, ecrus and rose
shades used with cut out borders in
floral designs, that are applied in
wide friezes at the top Of the wall,
and narrow borders just above the
Dashboard. In larger and more for
NAL rooms these narrow borders are
used to produce panelled effects, but
even the smallest and least preten-
tious interior becomes attractive
when done up with dainty cretOnne
curtains and bed hangings that ex-
actly match the soft colOring and
pretty pattern of the wall decora-
tions.
Milford chronicle., 1909-09-24

Anyone who wants to decorate or
refurbish the home this season has
unusual opportunities to secure artis-
tic matched decorations at the price
of ordinary wall hangings. Those
conversant with fashions in house
hold fittings know what charming
effects decorators have secured us
ing French cretonnes and English
'chintzes that exactly match the wall
papers. Hitherto such decorations
have been within the reach only Of
people with very long purses.

Large Crowds Welcomed Explorer anc
Business Was Suspended.
Sydney, N. s., Sept. 21.-Commandel
Robert E. Peary arrived here on the
Roosevelt on his return to New
York. News that Peary was nearing
port caused a general cessation OF
business in the town. Large crowds
swarmed into the streets and to the
water front to welcome the explorer
All manner of water craft, from yachts
TO sailboats, sporting their colors, NOV
ed down the bay when three blasts of
the whistle were heard, which was
the signal that the Roosevelt was ap-
preaching.
The tug C. NJ. Winch, gaily decorat-
ed with flags, conveyed the official vel
coming party down the bay at an early
hour. This party included the mayor
of Sydney, Wallace Richardson; the
heads of the city departments and
other prominent officials.
Mrs Peary, her daughter Marie and
little Robert E. Peary met the com
mander at Pauls Island, having sailed
north on the steam yacht Sheelah,
owned by James Ross, president Of
the Dominion Coal company.
Commander Peary will acctpt no in
vitauons to receptions and no public
honors until the question Of the dis
covery Of the North Pole has been de-
cided by scientific authorities. This
he made known in the following state
ment which he gave out for publica-
tion:
acting upon the advice Of General
Thomas H. Hubbard and Herbert L.
Bridgman. president and secretary re
sBectively of the Peary Arctic club,
wish to express my thanks to friends
for their kind offers and invitations,
and also beg to say that l have de
cided not to accept any invitations to
receptions. or any ovations, until the
present controversy is settled by COM
petent authorities"
Commander Peary supplemented this
briefly He was asked when the public
was likely to get a decision on this
subject. and he replied: Il do not
know. but what I have to say will not
be very long delayed. Whether my
statement will be issued in one week
or two weeks depends upon circum-
stances"
When the Roosevelt lay at the city
wharf an eager throng Of sight-seers

soian Back, and After Parade He
Held a Receptlon-Peary Arrives at
Sydney on His Way to New York.
New York. Sept. 21.-Dr. Frederick
A Cook, who unfurled the American
nag at the North Pole April 21, 1908,
arrived in Brooklyn Tuesday. When
the steamship Oscar II. arrived at
quarantine DR.. Cook met his wife and
two children and the executive com
mittee of the Arctic Club of America.
After exchanging greetings the party
was transferred to the steamboat Re
public, and the explorer was cheered
to the echo by the 1000 or more per
sons on board. The Republic then pro-
ceeded to Brooklyn. Here thousands
were awaiting his arrival, and amid
music, cheering and a gorgeous dis
play of flags and bunting the parade
was formed. Seated in an automobile,
Dr. Cook bowed right and left and fire.
quently lifted his hat in response to
cheers. A trlumphal arch has been
erected opposite his old home, under
which the parade of automobiles, with
the explorer in the foremost, passed
eDroute TO the Bushwick club. There
his old friends and neighbors felici-
tated him.
A reception was held at the Bush
wick club, which is in DR.. Cooks home
section of Brooklyn, and he was piled
with questions about his trip as he
shook hands with thousands of his
friends and neighbors.
Later DR.. Cook Joined his family
at the Waldorf-Astoria His plans
thereafter, with the exception of being
the guest of honor at the banquet of
the Arctic Club of America, to be held
at the Waldorf-Astoria on Thursday
night, have not been announced.
DR.. Cook appears to exercise great
eelf-restraint, but can hardly repress /
a natural annoyance at Impeachment
of his veracity, without proofs. He re-
quested the Associated Press to make
public the following:
"I have come from the pole. I have
brought my story and my data with
me. l have not come home to enter
into arguments with one man or with
fifty men, but am here to present a {
clear record of a piece of work over
which have a right to display a GER
tain amount of pride.
"I am perfectly willing to abide by
the final verdict on this record of com
petent judges. That must be the last
word, and that alone can satisfy me
and the public.
Furthermore, not only will my re-
port be before you in black and white,
but I will also bring to America hui
man witnesses to prove that I have
been to the pole"

American Productions.

This season American manufac-
turers of wall nangings and Of pref
ty domestic cretOnnes, have been
clever enough to cooperate using
exactly the same designs, so that
now anyone who wishes, can have
lovely rooms with wall decorations
and hangings and upholsteries in
the same colorings and patterns,
securing matched effects that rival
in completeness and beauty the
more costly imported goods.

Glass towel rods mounted in nick

that most luxurious appeudage to
the modern home, the bath room.
Where the porcelaine tiling is pro-
hibitive the manufactured substitute
answers admirably, producing very
much the some effect at fraction
of the cost, and lasting rather better
as there is no tendency to craze or
crack as in the baked clay.

MOTLEY OFFERS TO STEP
OUT IN FAVOR OF KUHIO

even though it be true that he has
fallen out with the administration.
However, if Kuhio has quit the
Republican party and wants to run for
Delegate on the Home Rule ticket. I
am perfectly willing to step aside and
to let him run in my place. l will
only do so, however. on the under
standing that Kuhio will agree to stand
for the principles which I have stood
for in the past. These are in the
main the advocacy of changes in our
land laws, altering them so that the
poor people will have chance to get
their share OF the public lands, and so
that they may be enabled to get rich
from the lands. As matter Of fact.
we ought to have the New Zealand
land laws introduced here. and this is
what I have been fighting for the past
four years, but have been preaching to
deaf ears. But, as l say, if the Prince
is willing to stand for these principles,
l am willing to step aside in his
favor"

Hilo Tribune.-Charlie Motley, the

having arrived on Thursday afternoon
bringing his daughter, Mrs. W. Fl.
Heen, to Hilo, and leaving for Hama
kua IN the Mauna Kea the following
morning. The talk about the report
to the effect that the Delegate had
withdrawn from the Republican party
was all over the street, and Motley was
asked by many politicians what his
opinion of the situation was.
Il don t believe the report" said
Motley. ~ think that it is all hot air.
/ still think that Kuhio viii get the
nomination from the Republican party,
