"BLACK NANNY
Probably Oldest " oman in
Kentucky Died Saturday.

Caroline Thompson, colored, prob
ably the oldest person in Kentucky,
died in this city Saturday. Well au-
thenticated records show her to be
about 100 years of age. She was
born in Virginia and was brought to
this part of the country by John
Meadow. one of the pioneer plant
ers, and was bought and sold as a
slave several times.
She remembered distinctly all of
the important occurrences of her
life, and especially the fall of the
stars" which was after she became
a mature woman. She was the last
of family of twenty-five children.
Up to week ago her health was
remarkably good. She was typi.
cal Southern nanny, and had many
devoted white friends in the city.

PEARY'S STORY
Corroborates Cooks and Both
Men Have Same Kind
of Proof.

Washington, Sept. 13.-In an in
terview Saturday Anthony Fiala, the
Arctic explorer, declared that DR..
Cook was the first man to reach the
North Pole and that his claims are
given much weight by the subse-
quent statements of Commander
Peary, that the conditions he found
at the pole were exactly as those de-
scribed by DR.. Cook.
In addition he declared that I'M
less DR.. Cook is a past master in the
art of using scientific instruments,
he could not possibly fake" obser-
vations that would stand any kind of
a scientific test. CDR. Cook has suf-
fcient technical knowledge, think,
to fake a series of observations that
would pass muster. When DR.. Nan
sen returned from the Polar regions
his figures, when submitted to ex-
perts, proved to be correct, and when
they were carefully figured out it
was found that DR.. Nansen had got
ten one.sixtieth of one degree closer
to the pole than he had himself
thought When Capt. Cagni's fig
ures were examined he was given a
mile more than he figured himself.
"a scientist can sit back in his
chair and riddle faxed figures. If
Cooks figures prove to be what he
thinks they are they cannot be prov
en- fakes. His observations will
speak for themselves.
II think Peary's story substanti.
ates Cooks. If Peary had found a
mountain, or land, or life at the
North Pole. Cook might have been
discredited. But he did not; he found
just what Cook found. People doubt.
ed Cooks fast progress across the
ice; this is confirmed by Peary's even
faster time

A dispatch from Chicago says:
Chicago IS face to face with a Sc
rious race problem. The negroes
who flourish there have invaded the
best residence districts, crowded into
the schools, in some cases to the
practical elimination of white pupils,
monopolized one traction line and
have become so active generally that
a climax is at hand. Taking a lesson
from the South, it is proposed, in all
seriousness, to segregate the races
in schools. Long and bitter expert,
ence here shows that neither race
does well when they are bundled to.

Germany and France Come
Forward With Full
Recommendations.
COOK HOME FIRST
Controversy is Exciting In
terest All Over the Civil
lied World.

Little progress has been made to-
ward the settlement Of the Peary-
Cook controversy over the discovery
of the North Pole. Germany and
France came forward Sunday with
recommendations for deciding the
quarrel by the appointment of a
scientific arbitration commission.
DR.. Cooks adherents are still firm
in the belief that he was first to
reach the pole and are producing
many things to the discredit of Com
mander Peary. Peary's friends say
that the Commander has proofs that
DR.. Cook is an imposter. Wireless
dispatches last night told of DR..
Cooks homeward journey on the
steamship Oscar H.. which is gaily
decorated in his honor. In New
York, the Arctic Club of America, is
arrangements for ban
quet to be given to DR.. Cook on the
evening of September %. Com
mander Peary was still at Battle
Harbor last night repairing the
Roosevelt, which will probably be de-
Iayed for five or six days before
reaching Sydney, Cape Breton.

This Won't Do, Mr.. Peary.

A dispatch from Battle Harbor,
Labrador, dated September 10, says:
Commander Peary will say moth
ing about DIR. Cooks claim to the
discovery of the North Pole April q.
1908, unless Ur. Cook makes a full
statement of his journey over his
signature to some geographical So
ciety or other competent body. 1t is
intimated by some Of his companions
that in the latter event Commander
Peary will undertake a complete
refutation. y
This won't do, Mr.. Peary.
You have publicly proclaimed Cook
a fraud You have announced that
he has never been near the pole;
that, indeed, he has not been out of
sight of land You have, in short,
branded him as the most conscience
less and spectacular faker Of the
age. AS an honest man yourself
you cannot now dismiss this matter
and refuse TO say anything more
about it.
You must prove your charges or
place pourself in a position as unen-
viable as that in which you would
place DR.. Cook. You cannot expect
to blast the reputation of a rival by
your unsupported and certainly not
disinterested word, for while you
have been more prominent in Arctic
exploration than Cook your personal
reputation is no better than his.
Moreover, if you would have the
world believe that your charge is
true you must prove that it is true,
for Cook S conduct and spirit in this
affair have been in every way so
much manlier and fairer than yours
that the world is to-day properly
prejudiced in his favor Courier

but there has been nothing in the
statements SO far that will discredit
the Brooklyn explorer.
Cook was stamped as an impos-
ter because there was no white man
with him at the pole. Peary's last
white companion turned back when
he was $50 miles from the pole. And
Peary kept on with four Eskimos
and his negro valet, hatt Hansen.
While there can be no discounting
Hansen's bravery he knows nothing
of scientific instruments. So, if
Cooks solitary achievement is to be
doubted, what are we to say as to
the value of Peary's statement?

he doesn't know about the narrow es-
cape as yet.
Both golden timepieces, with chains
to match, were to have come through
the same channel, but fortunately for
the ones to be surprised, the channel
blocked. 1t happened in this WISE
The Princess Theresa, realizing how
the cares of high office and estate are
frequently such that the officials over
look the necessity of providing them
selves with watches gilded up to the
standard necessary and with chains and
breast embellishments of a style fit to
dangle across the vests of men at the
head of county and territorial affairs,
resolved to put enough of her time and
talent at the public disposal to solicit
the few hundred necessary to procure
the baubles. She first enscribed the
name of Governor Walter f. Frear upon
a virgin sheet of foolscap, wrote be-
meath the short and simple words that
announced the Governor to be in the
field for brand new ticker and started
out. Federal Judge Dole went down
on the list for flyer. Attorney Abe
Lewis came up with like sum, and
three other fve-dollar men expressed
their desire to see the Governor with
a timepiece that would keep him pune
tual at appointments. Encouraged with
this success, the Princess waited upon
Jeweler Frank Kruger and selected a
watch as was a watch It was down in
the catalogue for one hundred and
| seventy-fv plunks net, exclusive of
trade discounts and cash reductions To
justify the order, the Princess count
ed out the five fve-dollar pieces on the
counter and looked expectant. For once
however, Kruger was stony-hearted and
announced that there would be no OBJ
lection to having the money left as a
guarantee of good faith but that there
would be no watch forthcoming until
the counter was further decorated with
sufficient hard cash to meet the cata,
| logue demands
This was naturally discouraging and
it is not surprising that the fair col
lectress9Only raised one dollar more and
| had to confess failure in her noble
charity, coupling the confession with
the request that the twenty-six be Civ

tace for that of Frear, she once again
appeared among her friends Some
money she collected, but lust from
whom is not known as this time she
wasted no time ordering watches before
| filing up the list and only those who
came through know Just who is who
among the subscribers. It is known,
and the fact seems natural that there
were several of the fair sex who put
up their coin for the Hustace presenta-
ton. Mr.. Hustace is a bachelor and
what more natural for a lady to do
than assist in a golden shower for a
fellow creature who has no wife of his
own to endower him.
1t was through the steady persistency
of lady in gazing at his watch pocket
recently i'll an endeavor to secure a
glimpse of the watch that she supposed
she had helped to purchase for him that
brought about the knowledge to the
ex-chairman of the existence of such
subscription list. In the first several
moments of the lady's gaze towards
the right hand corner of his vest, Mr..
Hustace was embarrassed, although
casual digital inspection had assured
him that his vest was pulled down and
that there were no buttons either I'M
employed or missing.
What Mr. Hustace would like to know
at this writing is: Who subscribed for
his watch9 He has not as yet received
the watch, it is true, but he desires
to accept the intention for the deed
and return thanks accordingly
Without positive information as to
what amount the Princess collected for
the Hustace watch, it would be pre-
sumptuous to suggest that she add it
to the twenty-six collected for the
Frear timepiece and buy each of the
gentleman a cuckoo clock. The lady
has retired somewhat from her royal
status and become the bride of com
moner since and it is not improbable,
under the circumstances, that the mat
ter of the watches may have escaped
her mind.
