Women Mountain Climbers.

By the great majority for whom ad- venturous exploration at the risk of life and limb has no appeal, the intense emulation among moutain climbers can hardly be appreciated. Nor have they any adequate conception of the warmth and acerbity of the controversies which rage among the explorers concerning observa ton. The fact that the rival claimants for the record ascent" are women does not in the least mitigate the heat of the controversy The trou- hle all arises from the attempt of Miss Annie Peck, in 1908, to solve the mys- tery and to conquer the uttermost fast nesses of Huascaran, in Peru. In her own account of that expedition and or her success Miss Peck made the rash statement that the highest of the two peaks of Huascaran is probably 24,- 900 feet, and hence higher than Aeon cagua- These two statements Suf1ced to raise storm, and in more than one mountain climbers club it has ragged with more or less fierceness ever since.
 In making this claim for the altitude of Huascaran, Miss Peck essayed to take the laurels worn by Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman as the holder of the worlds record for the latter's attested attitudes of 22,56S feet above the sea, on Mt. Lungrna- and of 23,300 feet on one of the Nun Kun peaks, both in the Himalayas, have never been seriously questioned How much this record means to Mrs. Bullock Workman is in dIcated Dy the Idct IIdL Sne OTSdIllzeu and bore the expense of an expedition to Peru for the express purpose of nav ing made careful measurement by tr1- angulation of the peaks of Huascaran. European engineers were engaged, the aid of the Peruvian government was sought and gained, and the work was done during the summer of 1902. The results have just been reported by Mrs. Bullock Workman, who declares that they show that the north peak of Huas- caran climbed by Miss Peck is only e1,S1a feet while the south peak, still unscaled is 22,187 These results, if accurate, not only establish Mrs. Bull lock- Workman in her title as the first mountain climber of the world, but sus tain the claims of Aconagua (nearly 22. 300 feet) to be the highest peak of South America.-Philadelph Public Ledger.

 MT. White Is associated with Thonn- as McManus of Webster in this pro- ject Mir. White said Tuesday that they were willing to take all the risks of making good, in which event they would also expect to keep the profits. Joe says that the plan ought to be a good one for Putnam fans to consider, and he came here to talk the matter over with some of them He wants to get a line on what the followers of the game think of the plan, and feels assured that he is going to have their support before he starts to. put into effect his line of thought.
 MT. White realizes that his proposi- tion means a choice, probably, between the supporting of a team in the East ern Connecticut league in this town and the plan he proposes. Between the two it seems that the league would be the better proposition, but that is for those who are going to spend the nlon- ey for the team to say. If those who heard understood MT. White correctly. his plan includes the placing of the management of the team he proposes to organize in his own hands, or may be scme other Webster man. There is no question about MT White being able to manage ball team. but it would be something of novel experience in this city to see the players under other than home control. If the c. A. C. votes to rem;tin in the league at their meeting next Sunday, the new plan will probably be passed up. If the club votes otherwise, it may be given a tryout

Old Receipted Bill Demonstrates High Cost of Living Forty Years Age Wreck of Schooner Gracie-Social and Personal Notes.

The high cost of the necessities of life is the chief topic for debate in the village these days. One of the principal takers on the question con- tends that the cost of living at tfe present day is not so nigb as in years gone by, and to demonstrate his argu- ment has produced an interesting re- ceipted bill which is owned by Daniel Slater of Prospect Hill and was con- tracted by him while residing in Greeneville over forty years ago. The figures prove that the. prices in those days were far in excess of those of the present. Sugar sold then for 16 Pa cents per pound or six pounds for $1 :; per bag: rnolasses. 90 cents per gallon: pork, 23 cents per pound. and all other commodities were in proportion. Evi- dence that the price of butter in those days was 75 cents per pound and that calico sold for 50 cents per yard was also addnced by the speaker. This fact is fresh In the minds of the older resi- dents and they recall the fact that wages then were no higher. if so high as. st the present r1me With these high prices prsvailing large families were brought up. but the luxuries of stoday were not eri loyeds s: s,
