Deriding the Bachelors.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The bachelor is punished already, not
only In losing the Joys of a home. but in
being an object Of contumely. So long as
bachelors are willing to put up with all
the losses they sustain in celibacy far be
it from the majesty of the law to impose
further penalties. 1t was Cicero or a man
of his day who remarked that it was on
erous for a man to get along with wife,
but impossible to get along without one
The bachelor is not man-only a more
or less imitation of one-sometimes a very
poor one. He thinks he has a good time
i'll escaping all the major responsibilities
of life. but he is deceiving no one but
himself. AS an example and a warning
he has his uses In society. An an indi-
vidual he is apt to find that he is eating
only apples Of Sodom. The man who de-
liberately remains q bachelor is already
punished enough. Let him alone in his
misery until some nice girl comes along
and carries him Off And we may remark
that no man is a bachelor of his own mi
tiative-no matter how much he may
think SO. He is simply a human derelict
whom the women have examined and
passed by. The bachelors are the dis
jecta membra of society whom no woman
will have That is awful and 1t is enough.

of merit would be noted.
Miss Hay has graceful personality.
She delineates the lighter moods without

are without affectation or constraint. She
is delightfully."- free from the self-con-

Cook Fails to Prove Claim.

Copenhagen, Dec. 21.-The Univer-
sity of Copenhagen, the first institution
of learning to recognize DR.. Frederick
A. Cook as the discoverer of the North
Pole, solemnly declared the explorer
had failed to establish the claim upon
which high honors had been based.
The committee appointed by the uni
versity to examine Cooks records re-
Gently presented its report to the con-
sistory of the university, which review
ed the deductions of the experts with
the greatest care and discussed the
findings from every standpoint. That
both committee and the consistory was
disappointed was soon known.
The consistory met to-day and adopt
ed written report to the effect that
the alleged records submitted for ex-
animation by DR.. Cook failed to prove
his claim that he had reached the North
Pole.
The report OF the committee, OF
which Professor Stromgren is chair
man, as presented to the consistory,
states that Cooks papers are without
any value; that his report to the uni
versity is practically the same as that
| published in the New York Herald up
on his return from his Arctic eXpedi
ton. The copies of his notebook sub
mitted, says the committee, contain NJ
original calculations of observations
bnt only results thereof. Accordingly
the committee concludes that he affords
no proof of having reached the pole.
