RASMUSSEN NOT A DoUBTER.
Capt. bartlett Questions Reported
Reputation of Explorer.

Boston, Nov. Capt Robert A Bart
lett, who navigated Pearys vessel. the
Roosevelt. doubts Knud Rasmussen's re-
ported population OF both Cook and
Peary. He does not believe Rasmussen
said that mo living explorer or Eskimo
has been within 100 miles OF the north
pole"
There are several important obstacles
In Capt. Bartlett's mind which prevent
his believing that Rasmussen said IT,
The first is that OF the three missionaries
who were with him at North Star harbor
this summer two were dead before
Harry Whitney and Capt Bartlett start
ed home last August.
Another objection is that Capt. Bart
lett, out after walrus on August q, met
Rasmussen in the flesh and had a long
talk with him about Cook and Peary
And the Dane Eskimo ethnolOgist was
untroubled by doubts on that date. Both
parties were In Wolstenholm Sound.

PROPOSED TO A DENTIST.

dentist, OF % East 10th street. against MS
wife. Marion. was before Supreme Court
Justice Davis to-day on the defendant
application for 500 alimony and 5000
counsel fee.
In opposing the application the dentist
says that when the defendant came TO
his Office 10 have a tooth filled he had no
intention OF getting married. but that
while he was working over her she per-
suaded him that she would make him a
suitable wife, because she was a trained
nurse and had lot Of friends who would
patrOnize him if he married her
The dentist said he yielded 10 the argu-
ments and that he enjoyed married life
just a week. After that hts wife insisted
on going with him every time he stepped
out OF the Office, and made him patronize
a barber across the street so that she
could watch him from the window. She
also sat in the Office and watched him
while he worked on his patients.
After his business was practically
ruined and he had acquired typhoid
fever, he sued for separation on the
ground Of cruelty. Mrs. GortikOv filed a
counter claim, IN which she says she has
been treated cruelty.
