VAST STRETCHES OF LAND
IN BRAZIL STILL UNKNOWN
Hundreds of Miles of Territory
UnexpIored.

Lying within the basin of the head
waters of the Amazon in western
Brazil are three regions, much larger
in area than all the New England
States, which are still outside the
pale of our knowledge. This large
territory lies between the parallels
of 10 degrees south latitude and 5
degrees north latitude and the merid-
ians of go degrees and 70 degrees west
longitude.
OF country of South America has
been accurately defined and fully ex-
plored. The great difficulty with
which the scientist must contend in
mapping this continent in the equa-
torial regions account for the large
areas still unchartered. It is the
hardest section of the world to pene-
trate. Dense forests. a deadly cIi-
mate, inducing the worst scourges of
disease, as yellow fever, cholera.
beriberi, ETC., the fierce wild beasts,
poisonous serpents and savage tribes
are some of the obstacles to be en-
eountered in penetrating the Amazon
country.
The entire central portion of Aus
tralia is an unknown tract, save for
a direct line in which the transcon-
tinental telegraph system has been
laid. The greatest difficulty was en-
countered in stretching the wires
across the desert waste, and the
small strip thus opened up is all that
is known of the heart of the island
continent. 1t is supposed to be vast
sandy plain, interspersed here and
there with salt lakes to vary the hor-
rible monotony. Hundreds of daring
men have tried to penetrate its mys-
teries and most of them have paid
for their temerity with their lives.

Heiress's Romance Arose
from Accident.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 1s.-Real 70
nance, amid wreck and darkness and
disaster. attended the betrothal of
Finley J. Shepard and Miss Helen
Miller Gould.
The warm admiration that each had
felt for the other ripened into love
that could no longer be repressed
when the loved heiress Of the Gould
millions saw her escort leave after he
knew she was safe. and bent his
tremendous energies to saving others
whose lives were endangered by a
railroad wreck.
And when the man, after his work
was done, and order had been re-
stored, found the woman who has
aroused the admiration and love OF
the nation, quietly and unestenta-
tiously administering TO helpless
women and children who know her
not, the emotions that he in the pas1
had been able to repress, forced his
lips to speak the dictates Of his heart
And Miss Gould did not say him
nay.
Before that nailroad wreck on thf
New York Central, when the train
was running at sixty-seven miles an
hour, Mr. Shepard was in Chicago
on his way TO ST. Louis, when he re-
eeived a telegram from his superior
requesting him to return to New
, York and escort Miss Gould TO Chi
cago, whittier she was going with Z
party of friends to attend a eonven'
ton of the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
A freight train westbound on ons
of the tracks had been wrecked ane
some Of the cars had been tossed OF
to another track, and the passengel
train, making more than a mile
minute, crashed into the wreckage
The impact was tremendous
The private car in which Mis-
Gould was riding was not overturned
but it was badly damaged. Mr.
Shepard soon learned that none O.
Miss Gould's party were injured.
! For nearly an hour he worked IL
helping the injured before all VIII
had been caught in the debris has
been liberated. Then he found Mis-
Gould administering first aid to 1
number of injured with the caimnes
of a trained nurse.

RED BANK, N. j., Dec. 18.-Unless
the Rev. Percy Perinchief, pastor Of
the First Methodist Church, makes
amends for an alleged injury done
Mrs. Ella W. Pintard, the divorced
wife of William Pintard. prominent
lawyer of Monmouth county, and or
ganist of the church for the past
twenty years. she says she will in
stitute suit against the clergyman
At the written request of the Of
fetal board of the church Mrs. Pin
tard has resigned. Although the re-
quest fixed January 1 as the date for
resignation she decided to resign
Immediately.
Mrs. sPintard accuses the preacher
of being indiscreet in using his in
fuence with the official board in So
curing her resignation. She declares
that through the pastors efforts she
was asked to resign, and that in 50
doing her reputation as an organist
and musical director has been for
ever ruined. She received a salary of
$500 a year.
Mrs. Pintard claims that in all the
years she acted as organist she never
experienced any trouble until Mr..
Perinchief assumed the pastorate of
the church last April. To corroborate
her claim Mrs. Pintard wrote several
oe the former pastors, asking them to
write her a letter explaining how
pastor and organist had gotten along
in the past. She received some let
tiers.
She says the trouble originated sew
eral months ago when several mem
bers of the church choir complained
that she was ugly and cross. Mrs
Pintard says she called at the par
sonage to ascertain the truth of the
complaint. She claims that the min
lister told her she was neurotic and
that she was not fit TO act as organ
ist or musical director of any choir
She also alleges that the pastor 4
language to her in regard to choir
directing did not become Christian
let alone a minister of the gospel.
After Mr.. Perinchief had called m,
neurotic he offered to shake mS
hand. but l refused to shake hand!
with him. He then reported broad
| cast that I had refused to shak'
hands with him, but he did not Civ
the reason. He did not tell what h,
said to me during our conversation.
Mrs. Pintard says that she asket
Arthur A. Patterson, president o.
the official board. to call the boart
together and give her a hearing, an,
that he replied that even if sh
should be given a hearing she woult
not accomplish anything.
1t is said that the choir complained
i-that during rehearsals Mrs. Pintar,

that during rehearsals members O

OFFICIAL CAT-CATCHER
PLANNED FOR CHICAGO

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-Chieago is to
have official cat-catchers if an ordi-
nance being prepared by Alderman
Willis o. Nance, who is a physician
and chairman of the health commit
tee, passes the City Council.
Alderman Nance made the dis
covery a short time ago that the city
has no law regarding cats, and he
calls it a serious omission. There are
dog -catchers, and even insect exter-
minators on the payrolls, but no Of
fetal cat-catchers.
The alderman holds that the felines
are distributors of disease, and they
will come under regulation in his new
ordinance.
