HONEST MAN HAS BEEN FOUND.
Discovered Assets and Had Bank
ruptcy Case Reopened.

DASNOFCACu hoSClS d4Au I1du Dirk
ruptcy Case ReOpened.
1t is now proclaimed that the 'hon-
est man" has at last been found. He
is Edgar l.. Pierson of New York.
He is insisting on paying his debts,
under peculiar circumstances, and
the propositions that he is laying
down are attracting a great deal of
attention and are being given much
publicity
The facts in the case are found in
one of the eastern papers. Pierson
was formerly real estate broker and
a director in a life insurance COM
pany; also president of a gold mining
company. He went into bankruptcy
ten years ago. His schedule showed
twenty-siX creditors, their claims ag-
gregating about $11, 900. He had
no assets, and, consequently, none of
his creditors took the trouble to file
claims. He went through the forms
of bankruptcy and was put in posi-
ton to start again with a clean slate.
Recently Pierson found that he, at
the time of his failure, had owned
real estate in a New Jersey town,
which he had overlooked AS an
other has put it, there are many
honest men who would take the will
for the deed and say nothing more
about it, but this is not the heroic
stuff of which Pierson is made"
We are told he has applied to the
United States district court to have
the case reopened, so that chance
may be given his old creditors to file
their claims. The judge who heard
the petition was frankly puzzled. He
had heard of men concealing assets,
and he had heard of them honestly
disgorging every penny's worth of
property
This honest man insisted, however,
that the creditors should have their
chance, now that he had discovered
his mistake. The creditors &C
counts, even outside of the bank
ruptcy, would have been Outlawed
long ago. But as Pierson insisted
the Judge agreed to the request, CIV
ing the creditors a year in which to
file their claims. Some of them are
dead and others have moved away,
but Pierson announces that he will
advertise to find them or their heirs.
He is determined to pay his outlawed
debts. OF him the Washington Post
says:
"Pierson is undoubtedly the man
for whom Diogenes searched with
lantern. His action is unusual, and
vet. in a well-Ordered universe, it
should be an every day occurrence"

NEsToRs OF THE SENATE.
senator Frye Had Two Opportunities
of Becoming President.

For almost six years Alabama
boosted the two Oldest wearers of the
toga' Senators Morgan and Pettus.
NOW that honor goes to Maine. SEN
ator Eugene Hale has served his
state longer than any of his COL
leagues. He came from the lower
mousse to succeed Hannibal Hamlin
ana TOOK his seat on March 3, 1881.
senator William P. Frye is the old
est man In point of years, and he is
close second to Hale in point of
service He succeeded James G.
Blaine, who resigned in 1881 to go
INTO the Garfield cabinet. Senator
frye is one of the unique men of
ms day. If lost opportunities can
be reckoned Senator Frye has twice
missed the presidency. Garfield was
d warm admirer of Frye, and wanted
MIN on the ticket in 1880, but Frye.
then representative and a power in
the house, was ambitious to go into
the senate. After consenting to have
MS name presented for the vice-pres-
ldehtlal nomination he withdrew, and
lew months later reached the sum
NIT OF his ambition and took his
place in the senate.
When Mckinley was looking
around for a running mate in 1900
, the name of Frye again came up.
Mckinley and the man from Maine
were old comrades. They also had
lived in the same hotel for years, and
there was no man in public life for
whom Mckinley had greater admit
ration or in whom he had more con-
hdence. Again the second place on
the presidential ticket was offered
to Frye, and again, after pondering
the matter carefully, he decided to
decline. The venerable Nestor of the
senate never has regretted his course.
He is OF the opinion that he makes a
better senator than he would a presi-
dent, and that his career needs no
rounding out in a higher office
After serving in the national legisla-
ture for 40 years he just has enough
to live on comfortably. He never has
possessed much more than a salary,
for he gave up his law practice early
| IN his political life, and he has en-
tered no schemes which could lead

FORTUNE IN THE BIG FIGHT
GREAT GOBS OF GOLD BID FOR
JEFFRIES-JOHNsON BOUT.
Many Thousands Will Come After
wards From Making Picture
Exhibits of the Scrap.

NEW YORK-Only FIVE bids were
made for the Jeffries-Johnson cham
pionship battle at the meeting for
the opening of offers at Meyers hotel,
Hoboken, this afternoon. Every bid
was given consideration.
BY Eddie Graney, San Francisco,
so per cent. of the gate receipts and
all picture privileges.
BY Jim Coffroth and Jack Gleason
(combined), $125,OO0, the club to
keep the picture privileges.
By Hugh D. Mcintosh, $4,000,
Mcintosh to have all other privileges.
BY Tom McCarey of Los Angeles,
$4,000 and so per cent of the
picture money.
BY Tex Richard, $1O1 900 and SO
per cent. of the picture money. The
bid of Richard was accepted The
fight will be pulled off in California
at time and place yet to be decided
upon.
So great was the crowd that turned
out to see the bids opened it was
impossible to handle them in Mey-
ers hotel, and shift was made over
to the Annex hotel Jack Johnson
and Manager Little were on hand to
have a finger in the pie, but had lit
tie to say. Jeffries did not show up,
but was represented by Sam Berger.
A most important item in connec-
ton with the mill is the money to
be made from the moving pictures.
The pictures of the Corbett-Fitzsim-
mons fight at Carson City in 1897
were shown for three years all over
the country, and netted more than
$250,000, but it is estimated that
because of the increased interest in
pugilism the reproduction of the
Jeffries-Johnson affair will amount
to more than twice that sum of gross
receipts. Jeffries and Johnson will
divide at least two-thirds of the
picture money, it is said, and the pro-
moter who handles the mill will get
the rest.

a popular fad with those eligible for

Comforts of a Snolu House

The experience of those who tent in
the arctic during the colder winter
months is to be summarized about as
follows:
When the tent has been pitched the
temperature within it is some Is or 20
degrees higher than outside, or 80 de-
grees below If it is so below in the
open; one is damp and warm from
the strenuous exercise of the day, but
soon becomes cold, and shivers; one
craWls into his sleeping bag and
makes entries in the diary clumsily
with ones mittens on; the heat from
ones body forms hoar frost on every
thing in the tent, and congeals in the
sleeping bag, so that it becomes stiff
and heavy with ice during the days
travel, when it freezes, and soaking
wet when one gets into it at night
and thaws it out; this in turn vets
ones clothing, and the trousers and
coat freeze stiff as sole leather when
one breaks camp in the morning; the
"a hours are round Of wretchedness,
and the ice.crusted tent and icy sleep
ing bags become heavy load for the
sled.
When one follows Eskimo methods
the conditions are markedly different.
On any treeless open (unless it be
perhaps during the first month of win
teri an area of compactly drifted snow
is easily found; the snow knives of
bone and iron, according to circum-
stances, are brought out and the sur
face of the drift is divided into blocks
of domino shape, say IA by 80 inches
and 4 inches: thick; these are then
placed on edge and end to end in a
circle the size of the desired ground

area OF the dome-shaped hut; then, on
the principles of architecture that ap-
ply to domes, whether made of store
or snow, the beehive house is COM
pleted. Two men can in an hour build
house large enough for eight to
sleep in. When the house is COM
pleted a doorway is cut In it's side
near the ground, skins are spread over
the floor, one brushes himself as clear
OF snow as possible and crawls inside.
The oil lamps are then lit, and the
house is soon brought to a tempera-
ture considerably above the freezing
point; for snow is one of the best
known nOncOnductors Of heat, and the
intense cold of the outside penetrates
the walls only to very slight degree.
But when the house gets warm the in
ner side of the snow dome begins to
thaw, and the water formed is sucked
into the snow, blotter fashion; when
this water penetrates far enough into
the snow to meet the cold from the
outside it freezes, and your snow
house is turned into an ice dome so
strong that polar bear can crawl
over. it without danger of breaking
through.
When once inside the house the Es-
kimos strip naked to the waist and
hang their clothes to dry on pegs in
the wall. On some journeys we had
sheet-iron stoves (procured from
whalers in former years., which we
installed in the snow houses, and in
which we built roaring fires.
