surgeon with Peary. That one trip
gave him the Arctic fever and fired
him with ambition to be the first man
to reach the North Pole.
DR.. Cooks Expeditions.
In 1894 DR.. Cook was in charge of an
expedition for scientific research along
the coasts of Newfoundland, Labrador
and Greenland in the steamer Miriam
da. The party included fifty-four scien-
lists and students. All that this ex-
pedition planned was not accom-
plished, an accident to the Miranda
forcing 1t to return at date earlier
than had been fixed.
The years 1S97-S-9 he spent on an
Antartic expedition on the ship Bel
gica, commanded by Captain Adrian
de Gerlache. On that expedition the
Belgica drifted more than 1000 miles
in the icc fields. The most southern
point reached while fast in the ice was
20 degrees. Much new land In Wendell
sea was discovered and active vol
canoes seen.
Returning from his south polar trip,
DR.. Cook devoted himself to geograph-
ical exploration in this country, his
particular aim being to ascend Mount
Mckinley, the highest mountain in
North America and the most ocnspicu-
GUS of the Alaskan range. 1t is 2O,-
400 feet high, dome shaped and with
two submits about two miles apart.
in 1903 DR.. Cook made his first at
tempt to scale Mount MCKINLEY, and
like all of his predecessors, failed. He
reached height of 11,40O feet. little
more than half the way to the summit
In 1906 he made a second and sue
cessful attempt. profiting by the ex-
perience gained in his first venture
He had to endure all manner of hard
ships.

Columbus, Sept &C. De LaPena,
Mexican student at the Ohio state
university who was killed by Mexican
rurales because he opposed the re-
election of President Diaz, belonged
to one Of the most prominent farilies
In the republic. His father fought

tahlish a Mexican monarchy and. later
commanded q French regiment In tie

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-Admiral
Neville when informed of the text of
the Associated Press dispatch from
Lieut.. Peary said: "If Peary has
telegraphed the Associated Press that
he has found the pole believe 1t and
say bully for him."
Washington, Sept. 6.-"That the
dispatch from Peary means that he
finally achieved what he has SO long
been AFTER" said Henry Cannett, an
old friend Of Peary's, and vice presi-
dent of the National Geographic So
ciety. Il am awfully glad that he has
gotten to the North Pole whether he
was the first to reach there or not.
He certainly worked hard enough to
get there. Such a dispatch from
Peary would signify only his own
achievement even If Cook was there
first. Whatever he left there would
have floated miles away. l always
thought that Peary had the best
chance of all of the men who had
gone out in the effort to reach the
North Pole. He was fitted by long
, experience and by his we'll known
high qualities. I repeat l am awfully
glad that Peary has reached the
pole."

How many wrecked homes must
there be- in the city to bring out that
pitiful procession. How many par
ents who have watched over the girls
from their first toddling steps must
have seen those same children now
grown defying parental authority to
seek the freedom of the streets and
later the merciful seclusion of death.
Morbid There, Too.
There were. too. men and women
both, like strange vampires, who
came to the morgue at dusk, seeking
only sensations, striving to win a
transient thrill out of morbidly gap
ing at another's body.
Some of those who strove to iden-
tify her told with shaking lips of
scars left by childish accidents, or Of
birthmarks. touched often by loving
lips, when the girl had been a babe.
But none of these marks were found
on the girl in the morgue. Her smooth
skin is without blemish, her teeth
even and white, and her hands show
the marks of care.
1t was Jabez Artnlan, of 1868 south
Forty-sixth street, who saw the hat
and cloak and the girls dainty patent
leather shoes lying besides the river
yesterday morning, and carried the
first news of the tragedy to the police.
II saw them lying on the west
bank" he said, "and guessed at once
that something must be wrong. So
ran to the bridge ana called Harry,
the watchman. and then Coulter, one
Of the park guards. Then we went
back and found the coat and things,
and Coulter later told Captain Dun-
can, who sent out boat to grapp!a

Hortonville, two miles from Callicoon,
and later In the public schools of
Brooklyn. to which his family moved
In his boyhood, and where he has since
lived when not trying to reach the
North Pole or the South Pole, or en-
gagged In other scientific expeditions.
He got his degree of n, D. Mt the Uni
versity of New York in 1890 when
twenty-five years old.
Much Credit Due Wife.
1t was in 1892 that DR.. Cook mar
ried. His wife-and to her belongs
much of the credit of his achieve
ments-was Miss Mary Adell Hunt.
They have two children, both girls,
Ruth and Helen, who are z and s
years old respectively.
Mrs. Cook has contributed her share
to the success of her husband as an
explorer. Without complaint she has
remained at home, caring for their
children, while he has been away. Her
anxiety and worry for his safety have
been most keen, as more than a year
has elapsed at times without her
receiving - single word from him. Her
anxieties have not been confined to
worrying for his safety. The Cooks
are not rich. The explorer has no for
tune, not even competence. Since
he left New York. in the summer of
1907 Mrs. Cook has had to bear not
only the strain of not knowing wheth-
er her husband was dead or living,
but also of finding a way for keeping
the little family together.
From boyhood DR.. Cook was inter-
ested in scientific explorations, and
