A Nice Distinction.

Unconsciously in his cOnvulsive grasp.
Cruel. my lady calls him-yet she knows
Just why he crushed the rose, ana can
but gasp
In sudden pain, with lips so deathly white,
And find no voice to tell her that she,

Is cruel All the happy summer night
He has been with her With her eyes
she drew
Him out into the radiant night. away
From all the dancers. Dreamy music
Out on the fragrant air Now-this hour
he may -
Confess his love. Low at her feet he
kneels.
The statues cen might envy her repOSe,
She calls him cruel-he has crushed her
And she a heart.

south for civilization, have turned back.
l had never seen DR.. Cook until I met
him in the arctic. He told me he had
been to the north pole, and 1 was pledged
not to reveal the fact to Commander
Peary. but l could say that he had gone
further north than Peary in 1906.
Commander Peary, 10 my knowledge,
knew absolutely nothing about what had
been left with me by DR.. Cook, except
that 1 mentioned Instruments. clothing
and furs. and also a narwhal horn. DR..
Cooks belongings left in my charge were
placed in boxes. which were nailed up.
Then I saw the Eskimos cover them with
rocks.
mo one could have been kinder to me
or shown me more consideration than
Commander Peary did while was on the
Roosevelt, and he said he would be very
glad to have me remain aboard and re-
turn with him instead of joining the
jeanne. HARRY WHITNEY"
Another reason which Whitney has
given for not going back to Etah in the
Jeanne was that he intended to replace
DR.. Cooks instruments by purchasing
new ones in New York. which he thought
would be quite as satisfactory to DR..
Cook as to bring back the ones he had
used in the arctic.

JEWS OBSERVE sUCcoTH.
Autumn Festival Concentrating
Entrance to Promised Land.

Entrance to PROMISED Lana.
In all the Jewish places of worship in
Washington the beginning of the eight
day festival of Succoth was celebrated
last night Succoth Is the autumn har-
vest festival and is commemorative of the
end of the wandering Of the Jews in Ca
naan and their entrance into the prom
ised land. It Is so named because dur
ing their wanderings the Jews protected
themselves from the elements by means
of frail, temporary shelters, known as
succoths.
the authorized versions of the Old Tes-
lament is "booth" Thus the biblical au-
thority for the feast of Succoth Is found
by the Jews in the forty-second verse of
the twenty-third chapter of Leviticus.
which reads:
I'VE shall dwell In booths eight days,
that your generations shall know 1 made
the children of Israel to dwell in booths
when l brought them out of the land of
Egypt"
At the synagogue of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation on Sth street last
night impressive ceremonies commemo-
rative Of the feast Of Succoth were
held. A shelter Of lattice work and
vines, typical of the succoths was
raised by the members of the Ladies'
Auxiliary In this stood Rabbi Stern.
He delivered the prayers appropriate
to the season, including one for the
dead relatives of members Of the con-
gregation.
Children Of the congregation bearing
fruits and vegetables marched up the
were placed. Afterward the offerings
were turned over to the charitable or
CARNATIONS of the congregation for dis
tribution among the poor.

A STRANGE CHALLENGE.
Russian Reaps TwentyThree Acres
of Oats With a Hand Sickle.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The Moscow Russkoe Slovo publishes
description of the remarkable feat of NJ.
Maxim Kolibaba. a provincial commits
sary of the province of the Taurde. NJ.
Kolibaba had for years attempted to
found a girls intermediate school at
Kamrat but the 10000 roubles necessary
for the building and foundation were not
forthcoming. He complained of this to
NJ. Tsanko, a local millionaire, who re-
torted that he did not believe In educa-
tion as what Russia wanted was good
agricultural laborers and sneered at Nj.
Kolibaba as a type of educated goodfor-
nothing.
M. Kolibaba retorted that despite his
education. he could reap his own twenty
three acres of oats with hand sickle
and without help. and he undertook to do
this in twenty-eight days. The incredu-
lous millionaire declared that if this were
done he would subscribe the whole I'll, 900
roubes needed for the school.
NJ. Kolibaba thereupon set to work,
and. despite temperature of 40 degrees
Reaumur. reaped the whole twenty three
acres before the term expired. The mil
lionaire fulfilled the terms of the bet and
paid over the 10000 roubles for building
the school. NJ. Kolibaba. who lost four
teen pounds during the operation, is now
being bombarded by other localities which
want schools and expect the commissary
to get money for them by further reaping
exploits.

Peary About Ready to Set Off
His Broadside Against Cook

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTLAND, Me- September 30.-Com-
mander PeaEy remained in Portland this
morning, instead of proceeding to his
home in Casco bay, as he had been ex-
pected to do.
Last night and this morning he kept
in communication with his supporters in
New York. 1t looked today as IL Peary's
broadside against Cook were soon to be
set off.
Peary declined this morning to be
quoted on anything whatever for the
present
Just now he said with emphasis II
must decline absolutely to say one single
word for publication.
It was plain this morning that the COM
mander's next move is uncertain. He
scanned the morning papers on coming
down from his room in New Falmouth,
and showed that he was following the
course Of events more closely than he
has previously done.
1t Is supposed from this that he re-
ceived instructions from his adviser, Gen.
T. H. Hubbard at Bar Harbor. to open
fire on Cook when ready, and that he Is
now acting on his own initiative. Peary
Is expected to give out his statement on
the Cook claim in person in the form Of
an interview upon arriving in New York

Sailing Babies.
From Harper's Weekly.

The strange custom Of sailing newborn
babies is still practiced In certain regions
of Europe and Asia. The method varies
with the differing nauonalities of the
peoples employing it. The Armenians of
Russia cover the entire skin Of the in
FAINT with a very fine salt. This is left
on the baby for three hours or more. when
It is washed off with warm water. A
mountain tribe of Asia Minor are even
more peculiar in this regard than the Ar
menians. for they are alleged to keep
their newborn babies covered with salt
for a period Of twenty-four hours. The
modern Greeks also sprinkle their babies
with salt; and even in certain portions
of Germany salt Is still used on q child
at BIRTH The mothers imagine that this
practice brings health and strength to
their offspring, and serves as well to
keep away evil spirits

Women Embrace Dr. Cook
at PHILADELPHIA Lecture

PHILADELPHIA, September 3O.-There
is no Doubt as to where Philadelphia
stands in the controversy as to who was
the hrct American to plant the Stars and
Stripes at the norti. pole.
Or. Frederick A. Cook was welcomed
to the city ycst.lday morning by more
than 10000 ednireIs as he stepped from
a Pullman car in the trainshed, escorted
Ly a squad OF tv elve Of the most stalwart
policemen aIrcng the reserves, who pro-
tected him from the thousands who
fought to grasp his hand.
Cheered by Auditors.
Again last night in the Academy Of Mu-
sic 1900 men and women stood and cheered
Dr.. Cook vociferously for more than three
minutes when he appeared to tell of his
conquest of tn north. The large cuei-
rnce. which packed the theater from Or
c!:estra to the topmost gallery, hailed him
az the discoverer of the north pole, and
there was not a dissenting voice.
AS he left the stage three ladies sprang
forward and embraced him. He after
ward drove through shouting crowds to
his hotel.
Scores of dinner invitations were de-
clinei and Dr.. Cook found time FOR q
few hours % step in the afternoon The
hotel corridors were throngedy with visit
ors who were anxious to have a few
words with the explorer. and many wom-
en- had come to SEEK autographs.
The newspaper men were received at
IL 80 o'clock in the morning, and again
at o'clock In the afternoon.
Prof. Edwin j., Houston, one of the
most prominent Of Philadelphia scien-
lists, who introduced DR. Cook at his lee
ture, was one of the explorers guests at
luncheon. Others included w. A. Gray
manager of the lecture tour, and Mr..
and Mrs. Frederic Thompson.
Changes to Cook Side.
William E. Meehan. state commission
er of fisheries, who accompanied Dr. Cook
on an arctic relief expedition in 1892
but who has been looked upon as an
ardent supporter of Peary in the present
controversy, was in conference with DIR.
Cook for an hour.
Concerning the controversy over the
discovery of the north pole, Mr.. Meehan
said:
circumstances have arisen which
seem to make 1t necessary for me ia
abandon my position Of neutrality. I be-
quest. and that there was honor enough
for both. but some Of Mr. Peary's friends
and Mr.. Peary himself seem to me to
have gone a little far when they impugn
the character of a man like DR. Cook
1T is especially unfortunate that Mr.
Peary should take the position he now
does concerning DR.. Cooks achievements
and his veracity. Commander Peary's
position seems to me to be one of selfish
ness. I am glad DIR. Cook was the man
who has succeeded
A large delegation Of the National
Board Of Trade invited Dr. Cook to de-
liver an address before that body in At
lantic City October IA. while other delega-
lions from Los Angeles and Atlanta have
invitations for him to visit the Pacific
coast and the south Atlantic states.
The State Medical Society of Pennsyl-
vania entertained the explorer at the
Bellevue-Stratford after the lecture last
night. He was introduced at the plucki-
est doctor in the world" DR.. Cook and
his party returned to New York on the
midnight train.

COME TO BLOWS OVER COOK.
Banker Calls Judge Name and
Judge Uses Cane.

MACON, Ga. September 3O.-A heated
argument between Robert H. Brown. pres
ident Of the Central Georgia Bank, and
Judge w. A. Poe over the Cook-Peary con-
troversy yesterday led to blows. the judge
using his walking cane with telling effect
on the banker. Prompt interference of
friends prevented an encounter that at
one time promised to be serious.
The banker insisted that honors should
go entirely to DR.. Cook. Judge Poe was
equally convinced that Commander Peary
was the discoverer of the north pole.
When the Judge questioned the sound
ness of his opponents argument the
banker used an ugly word, It is stated,
which the judge resented.
