PEARY REBUKED
By Mat Henson, the Negro Who Saved
Him from Death

In lecture delivered in Syracuse, n
Y, on Friday night, on his trip to the
north pole with Commandr Robert E.
Peary, the negro, Matt Henson, ex-
pressed indignation at what he termed
Peary's shabby treatment" of him since
their return to this country. ;,
81 am very much surprised at him,
Henson said. Since we landed in New
York on October 3, he has paid no at
tention to me and has not even COM
municated with me- After the hardships
we went through together and the work
| have dona6or him, not mentioning the
number of times / actually saved hi:
life, I think he should do more than he
has. 1t is all on account of his selfish
ness. He wants everything for himself
and evidently begrudges me what little
success I may be having with my lee
lures"

PIARRo REFUSED A PARDON

Bossier Banner: Sam Piarro, the
young Italian who was at the past July
term of the Bossier District Court con
victed of completely in the murder OF
Wimberck Boney Jr., at Vanceville, and
who was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, has failed to secure pardon.
John Fulco is the name of the other
Italian who was sentenced along with
Piarro, and who is the father of the girl
over whom the trouble originated. Piar-
70 was her sweetheart and was at Full
cos home when the murder was COM

of circumstances and that he did not
have part in the crime. However, the
Board of Pardons passed the case with
out action.

THE STORMIA CLUB CASE, DE
CTSION TOMORROW.

The decision in the Stormia case, eX-
pected yesterday morning, may be sub
mitted tomorrow by Judge Murff 1t
would seem that under the guise of a
social club men in the establishment
managed by Stormia have been indulg-
ing so freely in intoxicants that they
have been disorder1y 1t has developed
that beer and whiskey and wines have
been obtained with ease on a punch
ticket system. The manner of the pro-
ceedings in the violation of the law was
uncovered by an inquiry into an offend
er who, so to speak, gave the whole
snap away To better understand the
situation Judge Murf and other officials
visited the establishment where there
was found quantity of intoxicants for
use under the rules and regulations of
the club. And so it is with the club, as
it was with the open saloon. Some sa-
loon men obeyed the law, while others
held it in contempt. Prohibition fol-
lowed as a sequence TO this defiance of
law and of decency. Now that the club
system has received an airing there is
no telling how long the social clubs
where intoxicants are served under the
punch ticket or the private closet sys-
tenn will stand the test of the law.
Judge Murff's decision is being await
ed with keen interest

FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
WILL BE UNUSUALLY GOLD
The Last Disturbance of the Winter.
Spring Begins at the Close of March
Twenty ty-frst-Ha1ley's Comet and Its
Serious Side Discussed.

Copyrighted 1910 by w T. Foster y
Washington, March I2.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent IA to Is, warm wave Is to
u, cool wave 10 to 20. This is expected
to be the most important disturbance
of the month. Within 60 hours of sun
set March I6 that storm and all the
other five storm waves on other parts
of the earth will reach their greatest
force These six storm waves-located
around the earth about $500 miles apart
will receive their first great impulse
within 36 hours of noon March H. This
will be the last winter storm-as spring
begins at close of March 2I-and it will
be one of the most severe disturbances
of the winter.
The great increase .of storm energy
near March II will probably affect east
ern sections of the continent and the
Pacific coast, that of March 10 will af-
feet the great central valleys, the north
Pacific and north Atlantic oceans
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
eifc coast about Is, cross Pacific slope
by close of 70, great central valleys 20
to ~, eastern sections 70. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about Is, great
central valleys 20, eastern sections 22.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about
2I, great central valleys 23, eastern
states rs.
This will be radical disturbance qR
the Pacific slope about March IS and
will gradually lose force as it progresses
eastward While temperatures will fuc-
tuate the trend will be downward from
about March I6 to IS, and this last de-
scribed disturbance will be followed by
some unusually cold weather for the
season.
THE COMET.
Ali other matters of interest must,
for two months give first place to our
celestial visitor, HaTley's comet. People
are generally inclined to treat the comet
question as kind of joke or subject
of merriment, and that is probably the
better way.
But there is serious side. 1t will be
the most interesting celestial event that
can occur, and such as we will never see
again. 1t brings US face to face with
the greatest of problems, the origin OF
the universe, or that part of it included
in our cluster of stars
Astronomers and other great scient-
lists are not agreed on these questions
they widely differ. | hold to the atomic
theory, that all bodies in the universe
have grown from atoms by slow accre-
tions; that comets are formed far out
in space away from the light and attrac-
tions of other bodies, or where attrac-
tions are evenly balanced, and are
drawn into our system of stars and into
our solar system by the onward march
of our cluster.
Every one of the twenty or more
moons of our solar system, as | see it,
were comets. Our moon was a comet
much like and much greater than Hal
| ley's comet and must have struck and
lost their atmosphere to the earth.
There are many features in physical
geography and in geology, not explain
able under old theories, that become
clear when we accept the theories above
mentioned.

Writers Lean Days.

Victor Hugo was at the time of his death the wealthiest of nineteenth century authors. In his younger days. however, he knew the bangs of pow erty, as after a quarrel with his fla her, Gen Hugo, he and his brother had their allowances stopped. We made $160 last us for IS months. Che chop would serve for lunch three days in succession; on the first day we would eat the lean, on the second day the fat and on the third day We would suck the bone. We discovered a place in the Quarter Latin where for 15 sous (15 cents) we obtained a four-course dinner, bottle of wine and as much bread as we liked. For another sou we obtained the sweetest of smiles from the pretty girl who looked after us" This regime does not appear to have spoiled Hugo's di gestion. for at the age of 83 he cracked nuts with his teeth and ate oranges as some people eat apples eel and all.
