Pieeina Out the PRAYER.

or curious prayers a writer says: Il
have heard a layman utter this petition
during the prayer: %, Lord, be thou
with us In our upsittings an our DOWN
risings'-a variant of the text In the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced a Latin SEN
tence into his prayer, and forthwith
proceeded to translate II. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-
ter OF an hour. but long before this Pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion. while in this di-
lemma. he startled his hearers with the
words: And now. o Lord. ! will re-

The Newfoundanders, of whom the crew is

they and most of their companions would be

The i'll concealed dissatisfaction of the mem

that they have not yet received the full amount
of wages due them for their long Arctic trip of
seventeen months. The amount stipulated is
of the crew expected that if Commander Peary
were successful in reaching the pole they would
receive handsome bonus. Naturally. they were
in high spirits when they received word that he
had achieved the Iong-sought goal. AS conse-
quence perhaps, of the fierce controversy that
has risen as to whether DR.. Cook or Commander
Peary was first to reach the pole the crew has
been overlooked.
Had only Commander Peary laid claim to the
pole the feeling of the crew seems to be that
their long and arduous trip would have been
we'll rewarded, but there were rumOrs yesterday
that the men had not yet received all their
wages for the trip. The few of the crew W.
were seen appeared eager to avoid the subject.
and apprehensive lest they should be drawn into

disadvantage of Commander Peary.

they would get it.

Of the harbor steamer Aucocisco at 10 o'clock
this morning when she was struck head-on by
the Merry Coneag, of the same line. which was
just coming out of Trefethen's Landing, Peaks
Island, Casco Bay. There were forty passen-
gers board the Aucocisco. and as soon as
Commander Peary had ascertained that Captain
Morren needed no help with the wheel he hur-
ried to the lower deck to reassure the Others
who had huddIed in the stern. fearing the boat
was going down. The commander and Police
Captain McDonough. who was aboard, averted
a panic.
Several feet of rail and part of the bow plank

was caused by an accident TO the steering gear
of the Merry Coneag. No one was hurt and
after minor repairs the boats proceeded.
The AucociscO took Commander and Mrs
Peary to South Harpswell and from there they
went by motor boat to Eagle Island. The COM
mander said that he did not know how long he
would remain there.
