reached more northerly point than
any former explorer. Peary's friends
charge Cook with having used the
Eskimos, dogs and supplies which
Peary had collected at Etah for his
own expedition. On the other
hand, the house which Cook built
out of packing boves at Annootok
tor his reserve stores, and which he
placed at the disposal of Whitney,
was seized by Peary on the assumr.
ton that Cook was dead. He plac-
ed an ignorant boatswain in charge,
who bartered away some of Cooks
provisions for fox and bear skins.
and was with great difficulty per-
suaded to give shelter to either
Whitney or Cook. Rudolph Francke
the steward whom DIR. Cook left in
the hut, was found there sick by
Mr.. Peary on his previous trip, and
was brought back to New York. In
return for this Peary is said to have
taken over quantity of blue fox
skins and walrus worries, and also
to have sent in a bill for 500 to
Mr.. Bradley, Cooks hacker, for
bringing Francke to the United
S ates for humanity 8 s.,ke." Com
mander Peary telegraphed to the
Herald that Cook was handing the
public gold brick" and has stat
ed that he can prove that Cook never
went hundred miles from land.
His belligerent attitude has aroused
some unfavorable comment, as it is
in marked contrast with the refusal
If DR.. Cook to say anything dis
about his rival. While
Cook has done nothing during the
week to substantiate bis claims, the
criticism which was brought against
the probability of his story has been
refu,ed in a very amusing way by
Peary's account. The Pearyites
held that an average of IS miles a |
lay, as claimed by Cook, was i'm
possible; that Cooks narrative was
BALD, unenthusiastic and lacking in
details: that he had ne |
companions to confirm
his discovery; that he stayed only |
forty eight hours at the Pole; that
he ice was impossibly smooth and
solid; and that the early start, sol
ong before daylight, was unprece-
Tented. But Peary reports an aver
,ge s!edge drive Of nearly 20 miles
, day; his narrative has much thel
same Deficiencies as Cooks; he al |
70 had no other scientist with him;
he stayed only thirty hours at
The Pole; he found the ice sheet as
favorable as Cook; and he too start
I'd in the night. An embarrassing
feature Of the controversy is the ar-l
rival Of both explorers in New York
with the Roosevelt" and thu
Jeanie." about the time Of the
Fulton celebration, when
hundreds Of thousands Of people
will be ready to do the honor to one
Or both of the explorers.

THAT LITTLE GERMAN BAND

being graceful they did not beg with the grace of the Mafia, so they were suppressed by our sentimental municipal authorities.
 Today the mechanical organ has be- come the horror of citizens. It is raul oous, persistent, insolent. The hideous tone penetrates the ear drums of the bourgeois The good old tunes are sup planted by the latest vulgarities in two step of the Great Woozy Way. At inter- vals some belated wrath with an old fashioned organettes sgrinds out Norma" '" .Il Trovatore" or Martha" but it is late at night that he Is heard, and then with difficulty, for sounds of the chauffeur horn drown him out. Your new fash toned machine could silence boiler shop. When two of them get into operation, a sounding duel, so to speak, then the polyphony would not be rivalled by Max Roger and Richard Strauss in unfriendly collaboration. Sleep is impossible Work is sheer despair Listen you must, willy nilly, and listen you do, with impreca- tions we hope unmuttered. And that lit- tie German band may be heard in Ho- boken or Astoria, sad remnant Of its former thriving estate. It still plays; "Ach. du lieber Augustine, Augustine, Augustine alles ist weg.'
 Yes, all is gone, and alas! forever and with the band host of memories.

jump to the conclusion that accidents were about three times as common this year as last, a conclusion of course en- tfrely erroneous. But even with New York's accidents increasing only at about the same rate as the population, the handling of them is by no means sim /p1e matter. and the present efficient sys- tenn Is the result of long study and care full supervision.
 these 5000 ambulance calls every year to attend to human smash-ups, they run the gamut of all the ills that flesh is heir to. Some of them are false alarms, so to speak Others are trivial, involving only bruise or slight cut. The report of the Flower hospital shows that only about eight out of every 22 patients are brought to the hospital. Nearly one third are cared for by the ambulance surgeon without being brought In, while one-fifth either decline treatment or are taken home or to some other institution. But less than four per cent die before reaching the hospital so efficient is the service.
 Ordinarily the accidents to care for which ambulances are summoned are not spectacular. Occasionally there is one al- most Homeric in it's magnitude, as in the case of the worl1ingman who recently fell from the 34th story of the Metropolitan Life building. There are others equally interesting in the other extreme, as in the case of the man who broke his neck by stepping down in the dark stair which he did not know to be there But one and all the disposition of the ctys 500OO yearly accidents comes to the director Of human repairs, and it Is through him that the persons who must be patched up are distributed to the hospitals as a result of the careful study which has made New York paradoxical as it may seem, one of the most desirable places in the world In which to be injured.

From the New York Sun.
 That any general crusade" in New York against the noise monster Is bound to be a failure is one of those proposi- tions upon which 1t Is safe to wager an affirmative. Big cities must have big diapasons. Even Philadelphia, since the advent of it's clanking trolleys, has lost its proud eminence as the City of Dread ful Silence.-- The molecular vibrations we name noise are. like politicians, al-
 ways with us, yet this is no reason why particular forms of the nuisance should be, if not abolished, at least mitigated. The huckster still exists, but he belongs to a vanishing guild. He is doomed. Doomed too, are the various small and interesting craftsmen who follow their calling in the streets; scissors grinders.
 umbrella menders, glaziers and old clothes men. Mores the pity They lent a certain color to civic life, though their shrill calls annoyed sensitive ears. We are assured that they still pursue with vocal obbligata their vacations, especially
 where the population is densest. The Italian organ grinder is more ferociously in evidence than he was two score years ago. Then his kingdom was divided. That little German band played the most heavenly music of the fatherland on
 twisted instruments of brass with one squeaking clarinet, and occasionally with thes help of an old drum to give empha- sis to the more eloquent bursts of the cracking melodies.
 They were not very classic, these per- formances; nevertheless they irradiated
 homely, naive feeling wherever the Gscordant blasts and scrapings were heard A fiddle or two might be seen and heard once In a while in the makeup of the perambulating orchestras. Die

 the German musicians was the internal
 noise they made. whereas. so 1t was as- serted, the barrel organ did not distract
