A. P. Hitchcock. in Country Life in America.
There are those who do not like pump

Of education or IN the fact that they

The Fault with Peary.
SAYS the New York Globe:

Says the New York Globe:
Nothing more discroditable to American public
opinion has occurred in many years than its treat
nent Of Commander Peary."
The Globe has been quite active IN
pushing the ant-Cook view Of the arctic
controversy-being the very paper. in

and wonderfully made Barrin AFFIDAVIT
and It's conclusion above quoted. may.
therefore, be more or less prejudiced. Of
course; but whether that he the case
or not. the Globe appears to have re-
versed the situation exactly.
The American public has not found
fault with Mr.. Peary for making sue
cessful journey TO the north pole. on
the contrary. It has done him the dis
tinguished honor of accepting his word
for that, and without awaiting the for
nal action OF any scientific body on
earth. That same public has rejo!ced that
his lies work was crowned with a glori-
GUS achievement. It has generously and
by words OF encouragement. TO his We
rious dashes into the far frozen North.
II was willing to acclaim him a hero Of
exploration and adventure. so far as we
have observed. no attempt has been made
I'm any quarter TO rob Mr.. Peary Of any
fraction Of glory properly and justly be-
longing TO him
What the American public did resent,
seemingly. was Commander Peary's ugly
and almost vicious assaults on the honor,
integrity, motives. and achievements Of
rival investigator, the head and front
OF whose offending appeared TO be that
he beat the commander 70 the goal Of
their parallel ambitions Contrasted with
this remarkable and still astonishing at
titude OF Mr.. Peary. the American public
was vouchsafed the opportunity Of OBJ
serving IN DR.. Cook a wonderful and
highly commendable IN all the circum-
stances. The public was not responsible
for the painful clImax-Mr. Peary's
strange and all but disgusting impetu-
osity alone was 10 blame What the
commander could have lost by preserving
a dignified and unrufHed demeanor II IS

should have elected to fly in the face Of

In, IS one OF those puzzling things that
are not 10 be explained along ordinary
lines. Because Mr.. Peary IS an honest
man. and outspoken? The public was
ready to believe that without any theat-
rical evidence from him. One may be

rude and overbearing and intolerant and
scornful Of others reputation. character.
and feelings.
Instead or saying, Nothing more dis

more unfortunate for Commander Peary
has ever occurred than his treatment Of

A Bureau of Titles.

Those who believe that European i'm
migrants 10 the United States should be
inspected and approved at their native
homes before being permitted to sail will
surely recognize the crying need OF some
system Of protecting the American heiress
against spurious foreign titles. There IS
a French nobleman Of historic family
who is very much astonished in his
ancient chateau to learn that he has
Just been married IN New York. Quite
naturally. II somewhat perplexedly. he
deduces the inference that there must be
some mistake. The American bride per-
haps now comedies with this conclusion.
But she was no more credulous than have
been some OF the leaders OF metropolitan
society. who have accepted claims of for
eign title only to learn later that they
were spurious. Surely there may be
devised some method Of inquiry at once
discreet and polite. Perhaps there may
be created matrimonial bureaus in both
European chancenerles and our Depart
ment OF state.
Lack OF wealth does not necessarily i'm
pugn the claim 70 titled ancestry. 1t IS
narrated that once an Italian marquis
was presented 10 Frederick the Great
That caustlc ruler sharply asked: For
heavens sake. how many marquises are
there IN Italy?" That evoked the reply:
'Marquises are almost as numerous IN
Italy as are paltry princes in &c many"
Whereupon the topic OF conversation was
changed. More recent IS the story Of the
American woman who acquired the title
OF countess at the altar. only TO learn
that her new husband was a cook. She
had him shut up on a charge OF stealing
jewelry. Surely. II would have been bet
ter. in these days. when good cooks are
in demand. 10 have put him at work IN
the kitchen. But there ought to be some
kind Of an international clearance house
OF matrimonial credentials. They are
keener on the other side. one does not
hear OF a foreign nobleman wedding a
spurious American dowry.

Progress ut Tuskegee.

The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute shows continued progress. ac-
cording 10 the latest report OF Booker T.

Is its influence upon its neighborhood.
II IS stated that in Marion County, Ala.
where TuskeEee Is. the property owned
by colored persons has. IN twenty years.
increased 800 per cent. The need OF water
has caused the sinking OF artesian wells
and two OF these supply g35, 600 gallons

st.tuuOn is winning the confidence Of
Southern whites. II declares: I'VE have
never passed through a year at Tuske-
gee in which we have had so many Of
the best white people Of the South visit
the school and inspect its work" That
voluntary interest and inspection should
certainly keep the institution on its met
