Pyqmslion md GaIatea.

The enthusiasm with which the an
nouncement of speedy repetition of
this NEUROLOGICAL comedy has been re-
ceived is very encouraging to those at
work upon its preparation. The idea
that the play is above anybodys head is
entirely a mistaken one. 1t is written
by the author of these world famous
operas-Pinafore and Patience, and Mr..
Gilbert has allowed his playful fancy to
run riot in undermining the ever delight
full romance of Pygmalion, who falls in
love with the work of his own chisel
and by the aid of the gods brings it to
life.
Mr.. Moody D. Holmes, of the class of

gave a most satisfactory rendering of
the part at its first presentation here in

as statue or as stone become woman
she looks the part. All its whimsical
beauty and play of varied emotions are
exquisitely brought out, and two people
in the former audience who had seen the
famous Mary Anderson as Gaatea, said
Miss Brainerd did not suffer by compar-
ison. Excellent judges of the costumes
of the classic period pronounced approval
of the efforts produced, thanks to the
generous loans of the Latin department
of the college Miss Mcleod as Cynisea
was especially effective in a delicate
blue, long tunic.
The animation of the statue makes
trouble for everybody and fun for the
audience at every new situation, save
where her innocence gives a natural
pathos to her role that is irresistible.
The two slaves, the soldier and his
pretty fiancee, the sister of the sculptor,
the rich art patron and his jealous wife,
all contribute to the action in agreeable
and amusing episodes. The stage itself
forms an attractive background so that
every moment is a tableau of unusual
charm, and nothing modern can com
pete in beauty with the graceful decora.

of Greece.

Portland, Me, Special.-From the
moment Commander Peary crossed
the international boundary line at
Vanceboro, shortly Afr 8 O'Clock
Thursday morning, u III he arrived
at Portland at O'Clock Thursday
night his reception by the citizens
of Maine amounted to q continuous
ovation.
At Bangor important papers on his
expedition were turned over by Peary
to Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, of New
York, president of the Peary Artic
Club.
Along the 350-mile route through
eastern Maine Commander Peary
was cordial and appreciative although
he appeared to be rather tired.
AT Old Town, city of about 5000,
the first big demonstration on this
side OF the border was made. At
Bangor the explorer was welcomed
by thousands and when he walked
into the concourse from the train
shed was given succession of rous-
ing cheers. With Mayor j. F. Wood
man, General Hubbard and members
OF the city council he was driven to
the Bangor house, where representa-
tive men of the town entertained him
at an informal luncheon. He was

At Waterville he was officially well
coined to the city. Members Of the
city government, school children, a
band and company of National
Guard met him at the station where
a stand had been erected. The school
children, each carrying an American
flag, were banked solidly about the
stand, with the guardsmen around
them. AS Peary mounted the stand
the children cheered and waved their
flags. A crowd Of several thousand
people joined in the cheering for
some moments.
When Commander Peary stepped to
the front his fraternity mates of Col
by college gave a rousing Delta Kap-
pa Epsilon yell, followed by the regu.

After expressing his appreciation
for the welcome given him Command
er Peary spoke of the Importance of
a discovery that had been sought
800 years and the significance Of hav-

Crowds also greeted the explorer
at Lewiston and other stations De.

DIR. COOK CoNvINCEs.
Submits to Cross-Fire by Newspaper
Men and Dissipates Doubts by An
swering Promptly and Clearly
Shows His Diary.

OuONS nlS DldIy.
A New York dispatch of Wednes-
day says DR.. Cook, seeking rest and
seclusion with his family after the
boisterous welcome Of Tuesday, de-
MED himself to interviewers and re-
mained in his suite at the Waldorf
Astoria until late Wednesday evening,
when he submitted cheerfully to one
of the severest cross-examinations
since he announced his discovery of
the North Pole. The ordeal of the in
terview, which was conducted by for
ty newspaper representatives, includ-
ing several from foreign newspapers,
represented at least that he was not
afraid to meet the public. Incidental
ly the city of New York officially
recognized his achievements when the
board of aldermen passed a resolution
commemorating his discovery and
providing for a public welcome at the
city hall. The date of the reception
will be announced later.
AS the questions asked were put by
laymen they did not go deeply into
the scientific aspect of the expedition.
But DIR. Cook was ready to answer
anything pertinent to the issue.
The most interesting phases of the
interview was reached when DR.. Cook
was asked if he would object to show
ing his diary. He Immediately con-
sented and, after retiring to his room,
returned with a small octaco notebook
which he showed freely to all. 1t was
thin book containing 176 pages, each
of which was filed with fifty or sixty
lines of pcnciled writings of the most
minute characters.
The book, he said, contained consid-
erably more than one hundred thous-
and words while he has besides other
books embracing his observations and
other data.
The itnerviewers were rather severe
in regard to details but nothing indi-
Gated that the Polar travellers men,
ory was at fault even in the most
minute particulars. Sometimes when
a petty question indicated ignorance
he smiled with good-humored SYM
pathy at the lack of technical knowl-
edge displayed.

mican and the snow shoe, which
makes the penetration of the Artic
mystery barely possible, has been
borrowed from the American Indian.
The method of travel, the motor
force and the native ingenuity with
out which the Polar quest would be
a hopeless task, have been taken from
the Eskimo.
"To John r. Bradley-the man
who paid the bills-belongs at least
one-half of the honor.
"The Canadian government sent its
expedition under Captain Bernier l.
600 miles out of its course to help
US to it."
After meeting the charge that lie
did not get geographic license to seek
the Pole by saying he preferred to
say little about the start and letting
the noise be made, after the Pole
was reached, he said:
Now, gentlemen, 1 appeal to you
as explorers and men. Am 1 bound
to appeal to anybody, to any man, to
any body of men-for a license to
look for the Pole7'
To the criticism against his equip
ment he explained that these should
be simple and not burdensome and
that he had sufficient supplies.
"Now as to the excitement Of the
press, to force things of their own
pickings from important records in
to print said DR.. Cook. "In reply
to this have taken the stand that
1 have already given a tangible &C
count of our journey. 1t is as COM
plete as the preliminary reports Of
any previous explorer. The data, the
observations, the record, are of ex-
actly the same character. Hereto
fore such evidence has been taken
with faith and complete record was
not expected to appear for years,
whereas, we agree to deliver all with
in a few months.
| His Observations.
"Now, gentlemen, about the Pole,
We arrived April 81, 1908. We dis,
covered new land along the 102d
meridian between the 84th and the
S5th parallel. Beyond this there was
absolutely no life and no land. The
ice was in large, heavy fields with
few pressure lines. The drift was
south of east, the wind was south Of
west. The clear weather gave good,
regular observations nearly every
day. These observations, combined
with those at the Pole on April 81
and April % are sufficient to guaran-
tee our claim. When taken in con-
nection with the general record, you
do not require this. l can see that,
but this and all the other records
will come to you in the due course Of
events.
81 cannot sit down without
acknowledging to you, and to the liv-
ing Artic explorers. my debt of
gratitude for their valuable assistance.
The report of this Polar success has
come with sudden force, but in the
present enthusiasm we must not for
get the fathers of the art of Polar
travel. There is glory enough for all.
| There is enough to go to the graves
| of the dead and to the hearts of the
living.
MANY are here tonight. The
names are too numerous to mention.
Special mention for honors must be
made to Greedy, Schley, Melville,
Peary, Fiala, Nansen, Abruzzi, Cagni,
Sverdrup, Amundsen, Nordenskjold
and number of English and other
explorers.

DR. COOK ARRIVES
Greets Mrs. Cook and Children
Brooklyn Wild in Demonstrations
of Joy and Native Pride.

New York, Special.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook arrived at an early hour
Tuesday morning and was met by
Mrs. Cook and two daughters on a tug
boat which came alongside and the
hero of the occasion stepped across
and was soon embracing his loved
ones.
No official representatives met him
but Brooklyn's reception to him had
all the elements of riot except vio-
lence. From the moment the Grand
Republic warped up to her landing
and the explorer, fanked by militia
men and police, fought his way into
an automobile, until he left the Bush
wick Club Tuesday night for the
Woldorf-Astoria in New York, the
surging crowds taxed the capacity of
the police and more than once got out
of control.
Along the five miles of avenues
through which the explorer pass
ed, the mounted police were con-
tinually fighting a way for DR.. Cook s
automobile, when they were not stem
ming the massed thousands, who
seemed to have only one object-to
break loose and embrace DR.. Cook.
AS the Grand Republic steamed up
to her dock the whistle of every craft
within sight was tied down and a din
that drowned out the brass bands had
a run Of fully five minutes.
1t was as if everybody in Brooklyn
had turned out to greet Cook.

PEARY's RECORDS MISSING.
Discovery of the Loss Of Records and
Important Manuscripts From the
Steamer Roosevelt Causes Change
Of Plans, and the Steamer Drops
Anchor at North Sydney.

North Sydney, N. S., Special.-The
sailing Of the Arctic steamer Roose-
welt was delayed Wednesday night
owing to the fact that the records and
other important manuscripts which
were taken from the steamer Tuesday
by souvenir hunters have not been re-
covered. Shortly after 6 o'clock the
Roosevelt pulled out from her pier,
after taking on a full supply of coal
for the run to New York. A few
hundred yards from the pier Captain
Bartlett dropped anchor.
Professor Mcmillan, who feels his
loss keenly, said later that he had re-
ceived information to the effect that
some of the important papers had
been traced to the wife of prominent
citizen.
The woman denied taking the ar
ticles mentioned, although she admit
ted having taken some things from
the Professors room.
A Truro, N. s. dispatch Of Wednes-
day says Commander, Peary had no
further statement to make regarding
the Polar controversy while travelling
westward to his home in Eagle bay
from Sydney. The explorer with his
family left Sydney early Wednesday
and reached Truro in the night. Later
the Peary party departed for Port
land. Their trip to Troro occupied
entire day and at the stations en-
route groups Of people gathered to
catch glimpse Of the explorer.
