Wheat Furry.

Chicago. Ill. Sept. 29.-There was
a lively pace for the remaining shorts
in September wheat this morning.
They jumped the price, which was at
$1.02 forty-eight hours before, to
$1.O7 ga. The trade was excited be-
cause it was believed line of a mil
lion bushels or more had to be cover
ed. Cash wheat here is SC to 15c over
the level of futures and will not be
passed around on delivery. 1t is too
late to get wheat from Duluth or any
other outside points, as September
contracts expire tomorrow.
When the bidding by Slaughter,
Paddleford and other houses suddenly
stopped at $107 "a there was the
wickedest kind of break in few
minutes to $1O4 ga on the offering of
few ''fives" in a snowy way in the
pit.
Traders were not ready to predict
what September wheat might do be-
fore the month ends, as belated shorts
may put the price over $1.1O, or a
settlement by leading shorts might
take off all pressure and let the price
hack to $1O2

PEARY IS DIscREDITEB
whitney Reported as Saying That
Cooks Sledge Showed Effects
of Hard Travel.

ST. Johns, N. F., Sept 29.-Mem-
bers of the schooner jeanne, on which
Harry Whitney arrived from Indian
Harbor, said tonight that when Mr.
Whitney learned in Labrador of the
polar controversy and of the impor-
tant bearing DR.. Cooks instruments
have on this, he engaged Capt Sam
Bartlett and his vessel to go up next
year and recover DR.. Cooks belong
ings at Etah Capt Bartlett himself
declined to speak on this subject, but
his manner gave the impression that
the statement is correct.
According to the statement of the
Jeanie crew. while Commander Peary
scoffed at the idea that the sledge
which Dr. Cook gave as a souvenir to
= Astiszg the dis
lance. Mr. Whitney contended that
the sledge showed actual proofs of
what it had endured, and that rear
sections had been cut off to make ar
rows for killing game, as DR.. Cook de-
scribed.
The Jeanie met the Canadian ship
Arctic, in command of Capt. Bernier,

BIG PARADE IN new YORK
Military Day of the Hudson-FuIton
Celebration Furnished an I'M
posing Pageant.
(Herald speciaI.)


New York, Sept 3O.-With the
booming of the guns of the many war
ships lying in the North river at sun
rise today the fifth day in the elabo-
rate program of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration was ushered in. This was
military day and it furnished one of
the most imposing pageants ever seen
in this. city. Probably the greatest
throng that ever gathered along Fifth
avenue witnessed the parade this af-
ternoon of fifty thousand soldiers and
sailors, representing the United
States army, the New York City regi-
ments of the National Guard, the ma
rines and sailors from the American
and foreign war vessels and the naval
reserve. Gen. Charles F. Roe was the
grand marshal of the parade.
The naval contingent, forming the
second and third divisions of the pa
rade, was the chief attraction. For
over six miles along the streets lined
~ eanopied with eolors and before
az enormous crowd, the fighting men
of the American and foreign warships
made their way to the martial tunes
of their shipmates' bands and to the
cheers that began with the first COM
mand to march and continued until
the sailormen had again embarked in
their boats and returned to the battle
ships and cruisers in the river. The
navies of Great Britain, Germany,
France. Italy, the Netherland, Argen-
tine, Mexico and several other nations
were represented
The sailors from the German and
French warships attracted especial at
tention by their neat appearance. A
regiment of marines from American
battleships and cruisers also came in
for an ovation. In uniforms of blue,
canvas leggins and white caps, with
their striking relocated bands in ad-
vance, the marines made an attractive
showing. The picturesque bluejack-
cts, in their blouses of the sea, their
aunty little white caps. their trousers
slowed away in leggins, and
service rifles from the ships armories
strung across their shoulders, were
also enthusiastically applauded all
llong the line
Beside the regular soldiers and sail
'rs there were large representations
rom the National Guard and from
,eteran and semi-military organiza-
ions. Included among the latter were
he Albany Burgess Corps, the Old
iuard of New York, the United |
States Volunteer Life Saving Corps, |
United Spanish War Veterans, Sons
md Veterans and Irish Volunteers.
The last division was allotted to the
irand Army of the Republic.
The route of the parade was down
central Park West to the Fifty-ninth
treet, across Fifty.ninth street to
fifth avenue and down Fifth avenue
o Washington Square. From the Of
icial stand in Fifth avenue, between
Tortieth and Forty-second street, the
'arade was reviewed by Governor
Hughes, Major General Leonard F.
Wood, Mayor Mcclellan and the Off
ial representatives of foreign ma
ions.

gress on tuberculosis held at Wash
ington in 1908 and the organization Of
many state and local societies has al
ready begun to have its effect upon the

Celebrates Seventeen Birthday.

Lester Holway OF Fairfield Center
a veteran of the Civil war and for
twelve years one of the selectmen OF
Fairfield recently celebrated his sew
,ntieth birthday. A few of the old
army comrades with their wives were
in attendance to help commemorate
the event with anecdotes and remlrsA
iscences Of army life when Lester was
somewhat younger than he is now,
although aside from his gray hair he
does not look or appear very much
different than he did at that time.
His good wife, Lottie, was at her
best al 10th serving refreshments and
the whist table from which Mrs. VIM
H. Brooks OF Augusta carried off the
first prize, while James A. Jones of
Pittston took the consolation prize
but had the sympathy OF the entire
party. A few friends from Fairfield,
also from Worcester. Mass, were
present and did their part to make
Lester's SEVENTEEN birthday party a
full fiedged success
A birthday cake was presented by
Mrs. James A. Jones with the figure
10" placed on it but the cake was not
large enough to have the years num-
bered with candles A few remarks
were made by Mr.. Holway thanking
her for the cake and adding he could
not realize that he was seventy years
old.
The party broke up at an early hour
in the morning all saying it was one
of ths best times of their lives end
hoping that Lester might live seventy
years longer.
