Odd Cures For Rheumatism.

Cures for rheumatism are almost as
old as the complaint itself. IN the
midland counties of England it was
formerly considered that the rgnr

rheumatism. while the Dutch peas

The Oldest Universities

The earliest date which any unlver-

bridge makes that it was founded
about 635. Its continuous history
dates, however, from 1109. Paris was
founded in 1872 and renovated in 100.
Oxford dates back to an academy men

were founded by King Alfred about
S19, and King Henry III. granted the

T Told You so,e Says Peary.

Washington December N-"Three months ago from the Labrador coast I sounded an explicit and deliberately worded warning to the world based on complete and accurate information in re- gard to the Cook claims. In doing so ! accepted the responsibility devolving up- on me and fulfilled by duty to myself and to the world
 With these words Commander Robert F. Pesry pointedly expressed his senti- ments regarding the failure of Copen- hagen to find any proof of the discovery of the north pole by Dr. Cook.
 Seated in d comfortably heated room in his apartments on Columbia road Commander Peary received an Associated Press representative who apprised him of the decision by the Denmark scien- lists against Dr. Cook Although far from showing any delight over the news from Copenhagen. it was evident that the explorer received the news with much satisfaction. Not much as a faintest suspicion of a smile illuminated his stern face but his eyes lighted up with the welcome knowledge of vindication which had come to him after difficult trials.
 ''I have known the outcome weeks be- fore reached this country on my re- turn from the pole. It was not a mat ter of belief with me but absolute knoWl- edge. However, I shall not discuss this matter in detail for publication It is not necessary.
 "The warning which sent to the coun- try before l landed is still sufficient. You remember my cablegram from Bat tie Harbor. Here is the exact wording of it: Cook has not been to the pole April 21, 1908. or any other date. He has simply handed the public gold brick
 With this Commandr Peary declined further to discuss Dr. Cook or his af- fairs, and 1t was evident he regarded the whole controversy as ended.
 He declined to say whether he con- sidered 1t possible for Dr. Cook to pro- ceed further in presenting additional ev- idence Or submitting his data to other courts of inquiry.
 My friends may consider this decision a complete vindication Of their attitude on this whole subject but as for myself I do not care to comment said Mir. Peary.

Examination To Be Made.

Washington December 21.--Prof. Willis Moore, president of the National Geo. graphic society," which, through com mttee of that body. Is conducting an in- vestigaton into the discovery of the north pole. expressed the llvelest interest in the information from Copenhagen.
 Our own committed" said Professor Moore. with Prof J. Howard Gore as chairman, will continue it's work, so that It's report may be complete and contain a full history of the discovery of the pole. We hope the report will be so fair and impartial that the world may under stand in all it's details the controversy respecting the discovery which has arisen.
 "I presume that neither the University of Copenhagen nor Dr. Cook will now have any objections to our committee ex- aminng the original records and antici- pate the committee will still desire to go to Copenhagen for the purpose or making that examination. The commit tee Is acting under the authority of the managers of the National Geographical society. which permits the committee to use its own discretion but as the com mittee cannot make it's report entirely complete without seeing these records. it IS reasonable to assume the committee will go abroad for that purpose.
 our corpmttees examination or Dr. Cooks rec3rds doubtless would confirm the findings of the University of CopeD- hagen and would in no sense be an inn peachment of that iniversity's examining board. but under the rules nf our society IL is necessary that original records shall be examined by its Investigating com

Are They Satisfied Now?

Washington, December 2i.-"1ts time" the comment of one of those officials who investigated closely the Arctic claims Of Peary and Cook, was an ejac- ulation that expressed the feeling of practically all the Geographical society.
 All along the officers of that organ ization representing lines of science re- search have believed the result of the deliberations of the Copenhagen institu- ton would be as stated but they were willing to be convinced.
 Admiral c. M. Chester. tn. former head of the naval observatory, and a prom inent figure in the inquiry into the claims of the two explorers, attacked the alleged attainment of pr. Cook in more Or less public way at lec- ture before the University club in this city about a month ago. While the Geographical society did not go on rec ord it was apparent that the feeling of the personnel of the board of officers of that organization was very closely aligned to the views. which were then expressed and which airaigned Dr. Cooks contentious in a sweeping way. The society had already awarded Com mander Peary a medal and so far as official expression is concerned deferred definite conclusions as to Cooks claims pending further investigation.

mittees in order that the society's find- ings shall in every sense be original"
 Some of the members of the board of directors of the National Geographical so- ciety say there is no reason why any thing should be done by them in rela- ton to the claims of Dr. Cook as the diseoverer of the north pole. These mem bers of the board do not care to see Dr. Cooks records, and are quite ready to let the matter drop so far as the Cook controversy is concerned.
