In the cap Of his race"
DIR. Booker T. Washington in his in
troductory remarks writes:
"one of the first questions which
Commander Peary was asked when he
returned home from his long. patient
and finally successful struggle to reach
the pole was how 1t came about that.

a Negro. was the only man to whom
was accorded the honor of accompany
ing him on the final dash to the goal?"
The question was suggested. no
doubt. by the thought that it was but
natural that the positions of greatest
responsibility and honor on such an
expedition would as matter of course
fall to the white men Of the party
rather than to Negro. To this ques-
ton, however. Commander Peary re-
piled in substance:
Matthew A. Hensen. my Negro as
sistant. has been with me in one ca
pacity or another since my second trip
to Nicaragua in 1887. have taken
him on each and all Of my expeditions
except the first and also without ex-
ception on each of my farthest sledge
trips. This position l have given him
primarily because of his adaptability
and fitness for the work and secondly
on account of his loyalty. He Is bet
ter dog driver and can handle n sledge
better than any man living except
some of the best Eskimo hunters
themselves"
The book Is interesting not only be-
cause 1t tells of the extraordinary
achievements Of a colored man. but the
clear and logical manner in which Mr..
Hensen relntes in detail every impor-
tant feature OF the journey to and from
the pole, with aide lights on Eskimo
life and arctic customs.

Answers Filed

Answers of the Northern Central Rail-
road and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road companies have been received here
by attorneys for The Morris Iron Works.
The Economy Silo Co., The Farmers
Supply Co. and Gilmer Schey, who
through the Interstate Commerce Com
mission sought to have the railroads
make physical connection with the Fred
erick Railroad and have a system for the
interchange of cars.
The proceedings before the commits
sion were brought several months ago.
The shippers filed formal bill giving the
business of the several compliments, and
stated that on account of not having ac-
cess to the several roads that the business
of the compliments was greatly Murdered.
They asked that the Northern Central
Railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Frederick Railroad be compelled to
construct and maintain physical connec-
tons and provide for the interchange of
cars.
The proposition that such an arrange
ment be made first came from the Fred
erick Railroad, and was turned down by
the other roads The shippers then took
up the matter While the Frederick
Railroad has been made a defendant in
the charge before the Interstate Com
merCe Commission, yet this charge is
merely technical, as it is said the Freder-
iCk Railroad stands ready, at any time,
to enter into an agreement with the other
roads.
The Northern Central Railroad Com
pany, in its answer, practically denies all
the allegations further than stating that it
is engaged in interstate interests 1t asks
for proof Of certain allegations, such as
the business in which the compliments
are engaged, the distance they have to
haul their wares to reach the railroads,
the territory covered by the Frederick
Railroad, etc The road claims it has
physical connection with the Frederick
Railroad.
The Baltimore and Ohio also asks for
proof of the allegations II admits it has
refused to make physica connections
with the Frederick Railroad although it
has been requested to do So by three Of
the compliments. Jacob Rohrback, A.
S Brown and Charles Nice Matthias rep
resent the compianants.

Another prosperous week in the
realty market has passed and the
agents are equally as loud in their
praise Of the present appearances for
a continuation Of the hustle and hustle
in this line as ever before. They de-
clare the advance Of spring has not
caused them any financial loss, in fact
fastened the minds of more than one
p~rospectice home builder. The sales
during the past few days have been
unusually heavy and speak well for
the alluring offers of the real estate
men and their ability to aid this city in
its rapid growth by Influencing many to
acquire properties and locate here.
The principal sales made this week
were in suburban property, which con
tinues to move rapidly and without
an unnecessary effort on the part Of
the agents to place their bargains be-
fore the public. Many queries are re-
ceived daily by local dealers of the
suburban tracts, asking for informa-
ton concerning prospective home
sights in or about Perth Amboy, and
are shortly enrolled on the growing
lists Of Perth Amboy's latest residents.
