Result of Burning of CIendenin
Barn Thought to Be
Incendiary Origin.
LAD ENTICED FROM FIELD
IT is SAID THAT EMPLOYEES OF
TANNING COMPANY COAxED
YOUTH TO THE CITY AND THEN
HAD HIM Arrested,

Lured from the field in which he was
working at the home of his grandfath-
err, about two miles north of the city,
by an employee of the Clendenen Tan
ming company, who promised to pay
him seventy-five cents for helping to
haul two dead mules to the plant, Carl
Pickett, aged 16 years, was unsuspect-
ingly enticed to this city yesterday aft
ernoon, and instead of securing en-
ployment as he was told, the young
man was locked up in the city Jail.
where a charge of suspicion was placed
against him.
Young Pickett is employed on the
farm of his grandfather, William Pick
EFT. The land adjoints that on which
the fertilizing plant of William Glen
denim is located. On Tuesday night
the large barn owned by Clendenin,
which is part of the fertilizing plant.
was burned to the ground and the fire
is believed to have been of incendiary
origin, in view of the fact that resi-
dents in that locality have been COM
planning for some time over the disa-
greeable stencil which arises from the
plant, and have threatened to bring
suit against the company.
The manner in which young Pickett
was arrested has aroused the ire Of
farmers in that neighborhood. 1t is
asserted that the boy is entirely free
from blame and able to prove a COM
plete alibi. Relatives interceded in his
behalf last evening and John F. Rob-
bins, attorney, secured the youths re-
lease on his own recognizance The
police are investigating the matter and
other arrests will no doubt follow, it
is said, although other methods will
hereafter be pursued.

Doctors Secretary Says That
Legal Action Against
Peary, Ready.
RESENTS SLUR ON WORD
TERM OF "GoLD BRICK" RANkLES
IN THE HEART OF THE ExPLoR-
ER-NAvAL OFFICER PROBABLY
WILL RETALlATE.

New York, Sept 25.-The Cook
Peary controversy over the north pole
has taken on legal status as it's lat
est development. Walter Lonsdale. DR..
Cooks secretary, gave out a state
ment last night that suit for Islander
is to be started against Commander
Peary. Although DR.. Cook has not
said much about it he evidently has
felt keenly the insinuations made by
Commander Peary, and in addition to
presenting to some qualified body of
experts the proofs and data collected
on his polar dash, he will take his
case to the civil courts for settlement.
DR.. Cook. all through the heckling
he has undergone from multitude of
questioners, has refused to say any
thing about the cries of gold brick"
and Il have him nailed" that have
come down from the upper part of the
world. Many wondered at his retic-
ence under the circumstances, but his
friends were of the opinion all along
that he merely was hiding his time.
Peary's Friends Also May Sue.
Another suit for the collection OF
damages is limited at by Mr.. Lonsdale,
although he refused to commit him
self. After Peary stated he did not be-
lieve DR.. Cooks story, the latter re-
torted that Peary had taken stores and
valuable pelts he had left at Etah be-
fore starting on his dash. DR.. Cook is
corroborated by Capt. Moses Bartlett,
who commanded the schooner that
carried Cook and his party on the first
leg of their journey.
The preliminary steps, such as draw
ing up the papers in the suit. already
have been attended to, according to
Mr.. Lonsdale, and the matter will rest
at least until the arrival of Command
er Peary. Mr.. Lonsdale stated he be-
lieved Commander Peary's friends
were contemplating suit of retalia-
ton. on just what grounds he did not
know.
Scientist Satisfied by Cook.
Prof. Archer NJ Huntington, presi-
dent of the American Geographical so
ciety, had talk with DR.. Cook in the
Waldorf today and expressed himself
as satisfied with the truth of the
Cook claims after being told some
facts that have not been given to the
general public.
DR.. Cook intended to attend the
Hudson-Fulton parade today, but later
changed his mind and stayed at home
to prepare for the lecture he is to de-
liver on Monday at Carnegie hall Nm
der the auspices Of the Arctic club of
America. Nevertheless he viii have
a busy week, consisting of dinners that
will test his gastronomic capacities to
the utmost.
On Tuesday he will attend dinner
given in his honor at the Harlem Ca
sino. On Wednesday the Hndson-Ful-
ton dinner at the Aston will demand
his presence and on Thursday he will
be at dinner at the Democratic club
in Brooklyn, given by the United Dam

NO USE FOR A SHIRT.

A story is told of brownie who assisted the people of Dolphiston in Roxburgshire, in threshing theil corn. The farmer left an article of dress for him. which so offended him that he immediately quilted the place, saying:
 Sin ye've glen me harden ramp,
 Ma mair O your corn will I tramp
 One of the principal characteris- tics of the brownie was his anxiety regarding the moral conduct of the household to which he was attached He was a spirit very much inclined to prick up his ears at the first ap- pearance of any impropriety in tho ranks of his fellow servants. Th( least delinquency he was sure to re- port to his master. from whom nc bribe could induce him to conceal the offense which fell under his no. tice.-T. P.'s Weekly, London.

ENGLISH REPERTOIRE THEATER

Every one knows that as far as the plays and the actors are concerned there is no difficulty whatever in running repertoire theater. No actor who cared at all for his art would ever, if he could help it, ap- pear on any other sort of stage and as for the plays there IS the whole literature of Europe to pillage The real problem Is to educate the pub lie and that will be done. we be- lieve, with most success by a con- pany which is forced by hard neces- sity to take its public into its reck- onings. There are pork butchers rich enough to lure all the stars ol Europe to play Aeschylus and Soph- ocles in the original tongue, but sub sidized work proves nothing in the way of demand and rarely succeeds in educating the public.-London Daily News.

WOMAN'S CLEVER IDEA.

One of the cleverest young business women in Germany, we'll known in Berlin society and considered one of the prettiest girls in the German capital, has just secured on behalf of the company of which she is chairwoman a contract from the Bel gian state railways which marks the last thing in railway economy af- fected by foreign government. Miss Stoete's syndicate has received per mission to collect all newspapers and paper of every description left in carriages on the Belgian railways, and in return contracts to manufac- lure and supply free of charge from the paper thus obtained as many cardboard tickets as the railways may require.
 1t is estimated that the company will make a profit of from 12 to 15 per cent. year.

VIRGINIA APPLES IN ENGLAND.

In 1S42, when Mir. Andrew Ste- venson, citizen of Albemarle coun- tv, Va, represented the United States at the English court, he caused several barrels of Albemarle pippins to be presented to Queen Victoria. From that time until her death the pippin was the apple eaten at the Court of St. James, and it may be that King Edward keeps up the custom of his mother. At any rate, the pippin has a wonderful popularity in England now. Mir. c. E. Sydnor, the Richmond fruit ex- pert, received, in the summer of 1907, an order from a wholesale fruit merchant of England for 20,- 900 barrels of pippins. Sydnor also received an order from Copenhagen, Denmark, for 5000 barrels of pip pins.-Nirginia County News.

SEEMED A JOKE TO SIAMESE
Natives Could Not Understand Why American Wanderers Wanted
 Sugar with Rice.

Harry A. Frank, in Harpers Weekly, gives an amusing account of his tramp through the Siamese jungles. The English authoritie- refused to let him leave Rangoon and deputed a half-caste to accom- pany him and see that he remained within the town limits. But Frank and his companion made the half caste drunk, eluded him and plunged into the jungle. At one village they excited the wonder of the natives by demanding sugar upon their rice. The head man mis- understood.
 When he understood that sugar was needed he called a woman, who brought some in a joint of bamboo "At the first mouthful," says the author, ''such roar of laughter went up from the assembly that l choked in my astonishment The chieftain fell to shaking as with a fit, his advisers doubled up with mirth and aroused the whole com munitv with their shrieks. Wild eyed Siamese tumbled out of the neighboring huts. Within two min- utes half the village had Hooked into the room and the other half was bowling for admittance and a glimpse of those strange beings who ate their rice with sugar.
