ASoTuEn PROOF or PEARY:

Commander Peary is a bad fighter
and does not hesitate to hit man
when he is down. Despite his sublime
self control when the University OF
Copenhagen decided against Dr. Cook.
the commander has not lost an OPP
portunity of abusing the man whose
claims he disputed. Whether at one Of
tho many complimentary dinners ten
dcred him. or in a public address, tho
Commander has always pluned him
self upon the manner in which he did
his duty by exposing Dr. Cooks al
legged fraud
The latest instance OF this bullying
was seen at the farewell luncheon
given the Commander in New York
on Monday, just before he sailed for
Europe. When called upon for the in
evitable speech. the Commander took
his hearers into his confidence and
thus approved his own noble conduct:
u knew that deliberate attempt
was to be made TO defraud the coun-
try, morally and financially, and as an
officer of the United states Navy |

| country, and that / owed it 10 myself.

PAYING 1Ts RESPECTS.

Like all well behaved visitors, the
comet was quick to pay Richmond
visit. appearing for the first time 10
the trained eyes of Professor C. IL.
Winston at 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. 1t was then due east, and could
be seen close to the star Venus, though
the brillance Of the wanderer was
somewhat dimmed by the bright moon
light. Nothing preventing, when the
moon wanes next week the comet can
be more readily seen, and will doubt
less delight to shine on the pleasant
roofs or Richmond just before day
break
While Professor Winston was To-
eating the comet in these parts, and
thereby satisfying the curiosity OF
many star-gazers scientists in the
West We're analyzlng the comet to see
whether or not it wouls do any dam
age to the earth IN It's passage. Pro-
fessor Adams, who has been on the
lookout near Pasadena Cal, on the sum-
NIT of Mount Wilson, examined the
comet with spectroscope and discov-
cred that 1T is perfectly harmless. al
though the head OF the comet shows
the presence or cyanogen gas. This
means that the considerate wanderer, in
mapping his course through the heav-
ems, took good care to plan journey
that would not disturb the earth, while
convincing all mundane jewellers that
he could cause trouble IL he would.
Were the comet itself to pass near the
earth, the chances are that the gases
| OF It's head would snuff out human life
on the earth before tho people had
! time to make their Wills and leave
everything to nobody. AS it is. tho
Hateful 18th of May Will pass without
incident, and the comet Will move on its
way, after merely carcssing the earth
in its passage.
There are some cities to the south
which are mean enough to regret that
al! the dire things that have been
| predicted FOR the 18th will not happen.
| They would have to go themselves. but
they would not mind that a Bit provid-
! ed they could carry all their enemies
witt, them. This is not the way here
| in Richmond, thank heaven, where all
the people are good and wish at least
| to live until the census Is published
and all our enWous neighbors can see
| how great the city has become.

wonderfully fascinating and brilliantly
clever woman, in whose witty remarks
and amusing conversation the king
finds a great deal of entertainment.

THE BOOKsELLER,s PASSING.

One OF the best known publishers of
New York is bewailing the passing of
the old-time bookseller. He says the
Trade Is not what 1t used to be. Thir-
ty years ago there were in the United
States about 1000 bookstores, where a
man might go and get what he wart-
ed in the way of literature or, more
probably. might go and order what
is but one bookstore where there used
to be three. Many men who made a
good living over the book counters are
now working at other trades. unable
to keep aAoat where there was so lit
tie business. A whole art has vanished
The publisher In question, reviewing
these facts, was inclined TO put the
whole responsibility on the reading
| public, which now buys magazines
where it once bought books. There
may be something in this; and it may
be that the broadening and enlarge
ment of the newspapers has had some
thing to do with the decline in thu
widespread demand for books, " doc
not follow, however, that the pcopl
/ buy fewer books than formerly or tina
the total number of regular reader
is reduced. On the other hand, an.
| publisher can attest to the fact tina
where they sold one book in 1850 the
ing the books, through different chan
nels, if not through the regular book
sellers, and as long as lie makes hi

complain?
