COMMANDER PEARY AT SYDNEY
He VIII Attend No Receptions Until
~ontroversy fs Settled.

controversy Is settled.
SYDNEY, N. s., Sept. 2l.-Cpmmsnder
Robert 4. Peary will accept no invitations
to receptions and no public honors until the
question of the discovery of the North
pole has been decided by scientific au-
thorities. This he made known tonight
in the following statement which he gave
out for publication:
Acting upon the advice Of Thomas II.
Hubbard and Herbert L. Bridgman, prasi-
dent and secretary, respectively, of the
Peary Arctic club. I wish to express my,
thanks to friends for their kind offers and
invitations, and also beg to say that /
have decided not to accept any invitations
to receptions, or any o~vations until the
present controversy is settled by competent
authority"
Commander Peary supplemented this
briefly. He was asked when the public
was likely to get a decision on this sub
ject and he replied:
81 do not know, but what have to say
will not be very long delayed. Whether
my statement will be issued in one week
or two weeks depends on circumstances"
The explorer will leave Sydney at 7
o'clock tomorrow morning and reach his
iCAAio bA A1hSN AHii AAiO AAiiib mp
parently Commander Peary has made up
his mind TO remain at that place for some
time, for, in speaking of his plans he said:
IF the newspaper correspondents desire
It, / will arrange an hour each day to meet
them at South Harpswell, three miles from
Eagle island and fifteen miles from Port
land, or they can come to Eagle island
at the time appointed"
- - ~
to appear at public receptions. Commander
Peary had promised TO attend a reception
between trains at Bangor, and this he will
do. He will stay in Portland Thursday
night. AS yet he has made no arrange
ments for lecturers. He said he knew
nothing personally about the Hudson
Fulton parade and could not outline any
program of his immediate plans.
The reception of Commander Peary to-
day began when the Roosevelt edged it's
way past Low Point eleven miles down the
bay and continued all the way to the
harbor and until the commander reached
the Sydney hotel, where he made q short
speech and found himself the center of a
great demonstration in which hundreds of
people pressed about him and shook his
hand.
Eleven times 1 have left sydney for the
north" said the commander. 'onoe !
brought back the largest meteor ever
found; the last time 1 brought back my
farthest north, and this time l have
brought back the North pole"
The explorer spent the evening quietly
with his family, happy that the object Of
many years' struggle In the Arctic had
been achieved; and delighted, too. over the
hearty welcome given him and his crew by
the people of Sydney.
The Roosevelt will sail for New York
tomorrow night and will probably arrive
there within five or six days.

The Midwest Life

1t costs for life Insurance Just as 1t
does for other things. for groceries OF
clothing. Because a man is not dead at
the end of the first. third orctenth year
does not signify hat the company is
ahead the premiums paid 1t. Some have
died during those years and it has taken
a part of the premiums paid by those
still living to pay the death claims. No
one who dies in the first few years his
policy Is in force has paid the company
anything like the. amount 1t pays his
beneficiaries. That will be apparent to
all on reflection. Life insurance com
panies are great eQualiEers. They collect
small sums frSm many and pay large

to the policy holders themselves in case

ers and the service put on by the COM
pany, the strike leaders were apparently
In a hopeful attitude.
They base their hopes on the assertion
that the company Is paying its strike
breakers s. a day and the new conductors
are not turning In many OF the fares they
collect. They express the hope that the
company will soon tire OF the situation
and will turn to the old employees for
relief. Then they hope to bring about an
adjustment of the trouble with some Of
the concessions they nave been demand
ing.
The company, on the other hand, ac-
cording to its officials. is satisfied with
the situation. Mr.. Wattles said It was
only a matter OF a little time when nor
NAL conditions would be resumed. Enough
out-of-town men, he said, have come In
to give nearly complete service and many
of the old men, he asserted, we're apply
ing for their places again.
c. o. Pratt, the representative OF the in
ternational federation. who is in charge Of
the situation. went to Lincoln Monday
night and came back Tuesday morning
with Deputy State Labor COMMISSIONS
Maupin was present on account Of The
strike.
The labor commissioner, himself, did not
care to discuss his mission.
Are you here to help settle the strike -
he was asked.
There IL nothing 1 can do now as far
as 1 can see." he replied.
Mr.. Pratt said he just happened to meet
Mr.. Maupin on the way back from Lin
coin. 3
Concerning his mission to the state
capital, Mr.. Pratt said the Lincoln union
was conducting negotiations with the com
pany and hoped to reach an ami,'able
agreement.
The union there is taking up the matter
Of higher wages and the abolition of
swing runs and we hope to get all matters
adjusted without trouble" he said.
The strikers assert that ninety-flve per-
cent of the car men are off duty, but cont
pany officials deny that as many as this
are out.

In reproducing the recipe in full of ar
extraordinarily successful remedy for over
stoutness it was thought that many read
ers would like to make up the prescrip-

obtained at any druggists and are as fol

Cascara Aromatic and Sh OF. Peppermint
Water.
Shake the ingredients together in a
largish clean bottle. The dose is one tea
spoonful, to be taken after each meal and
at bedtime.
Obesity has always been an obstinate
complaint to deal with, and II is pleasing
to record hat the above remedy is be-
coming better known every day as the
most efficacious OF treatments, which
does not involve any fasting or exercising
or other weakening auxiliaries. The per
fast as the superfluous fat is being eX-

reduction amounts to many pounds a
