SIR ROBERT BALL
 FAVORS DIR. COOK
Especial from United Press.)

London, Sept. 24.-sir Robert Ball: professor of astronomy and director of Cambridge Observatory, has at last become convinced that Dr: Frederick A. Cook discovered the North Pole. For several weeks Sir Robert was in doubt but he has declared that he be- lieved Dr. Cook would not have the te1nerity to make such a claim hao he not actually found the Pole.
 7.sFake observations could not stand a scientific investigation" declared Sir Robert today. 'If I could see the doctors instruments and his records it would not take long to decide be- yond all question of doubt whether he reached the Pole.
 ssThe certainty of exposure in the event that he is in error would, l think, deter any man from making false claims"
 Sir Robert and Lieutenant shackle- ton are now the only two scientists of worth in England who have come out in favor of Cook. The English prejudice arises from the fact that the doctors discovery was a shock to Eng. fish explorers, who counted on belne | the first to find the Pole:

 PROBLEMS PERPLEX
Difficult Questions are Referred to
 Washington for Decision.

Many perplexing questions confront
 the clerks of the Superior Court Of
 this county in the granting of first and
 second citizenship papers. Some are
 settled here, but the most difficult are forwarded to Washington where final
 decision is made. Only a few days
 ago word was received here from Darien that-an English applicant there had succeeded in finding his second
 papers which he thought he had lost.
 He wanted to be made a voter. ana
 could not without producing his second
 papers. A systematic search was be- gun but with no result, only that the papers could not be found. The would
 be voter got in commun1catlQn With the local clerks asking them for a
 duplicate copy of his second papers.
 They referred him to Washington.
 Word came back that he would have
 to explain how he lost the papers, to-
 gether with a great deal of other red
 tape which is required before one can
 be made a citizen nowadays. The
 mar had given up all hope of ever voting when his wife who had been away for some time, on learning ms predicament informed him that she
 had placed the papers in the family bible. He'll be a voter this fall. Only
 yesterday a little case of petty graft cropped out. A young English lad whose father was a voter approacnec a local attorney, stating that ne de- sired to become a citizen. He was | told that he would have to go through l the same course as any foreigner dlc | in taking out papers. This cost nm s15 When he approached the clerl l of the court and explained his case | he was informed that such procedure was unnecessary as his father being citizen of the United States he wal also a citizen. Whether the young man got the $15 back is not known.

END OF A RED NOSE
New sh-Colored Product That
 Heals and Hides Skin Imperfec-

A peculiar feature of poslam, new skin discovery, is that it is naturally flesh .colored and contains no grease, so that when used on the face for the complexion, or for pimples, red noses,
 ,r any other inflammations, b1emishes, or discolorations it's presence cannot be detected. It can thus be applied in the daytime, the natural color of the skin being immediately restored and the actual healing and curing pro- cess accomplished in a few days. It can be had of any pharmacist who sells pure drugs. Jennie Hamilton's Phar- macy makes a speciality of it. Fifty cents- worth will answer either for the troubles mentioned or in curing ordin-
 ary cases of eczema Itching stops at once.
 Any one who will write to the Elmer gency Laboratories, No. B West Twen- ty-fifth Street, New York. can secure, by mail free of charge, a supply suffl- | cient to cure a small eczema surface l or clear a complexion overnight and
 remove pinples in twenty-four hours

Mamie Turner, and the sociability
manifest among those present, as
well as the sumptuous repast Of
contribution, bullion and good Gre
ole coffee, made the evening one Of
entertainment as well as profit.
While it was a laymen's meeting OF
the Methodist church, persons Of every
UNCONVENTIONAL faith participated.
The meeting was strictly in conform
ity with the announcement Of Rev.
Turner. Pastor Of The Methodist
Church at this place, as to the OBJ
iects and purposes of these meetings,
which are as follows: It is the IN
tention of these meetings to bring
the members Of the church and men
Of the town together on a social
basis, to cultivate q spirit Of good
fellowship with all men, to get them
interested in church Work-no mat
ter what church-and also to try to
make mel attend church on Sunday,
not necessarily the Methodist church,
but some church, as attending church
could not fail but to WELD good IN
huence and serve to lift one to a
higher plane Of living and q desire to
lead better and more useful lives,

eussed, and all present to feel that
they are at liberty to express their
views freely on the subject, and in
this way hopes are entertained to
make these meetings of interest to
all, and to bring about a feeling of
interest in all questions on which
men can debate without injecting
personalities. and ID which all sects
can join, as no stress shall be laid en-
which church a man shall attend
In announcing the subiect-Why
do not the men attend church on Sun
day for the first night, Rev. Tur-
ner said that as there were several
ministers present some of them
might feel hurt if j candid opinion as
to the dereliction Of men IN their
church duties was expressed, but as
the question had been proposed and.
was the subject for the night, they.
wonld abide By what those present
had to say. and urged those who.
might speak Oh the subject to make
their declarations plain and unequiVo-
ca, preachers Notwithstanding,

Mr.. Donehoo thought that one of
the principal reasons that more men
did not attend church was that there
was a lack of sociability among the
members Of the churches.
Rev. +. Vaughn, of Lafayette, attri-
buted mems indifference to church
duties Co commercialism, the greed
for worldly goods TO the prejudice Of
The future life. Part Of the fault, be,
said, could perhaps be laid at the
doors Of some preachers who were
unsuited TO their sacred callings, M
attractive and without personality
and themselves not followers Of their
teachings.
Hon. Thos. H. Lewis, the next
speaker, stated that in his opinion d
longer song service and more music
would serve to attract more men to
church, as the stronger sex had 3
particular fondness for music and
songs.
