HE REFUSED TO DIE.


 Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick tells of a man in hospital suffering from five diseases, and yet he would not die. He kept on living year after year; he re- fused to succumb because of his vital ity.
 Vitality is reserve strength-ac- cumulated energy, which is Natures method to repulse sickness or disease and to withstand the climatic changes which tax human strength.
 During fall and winter we should create and preserve vitality with the concentrated nourishment of Scott's Emulsion, which contains the recog- nized food-value of cod liver oil, as blended by nature, made scrupulously pure and incidentally perfect without drug or alcohol. It overcomes weak ness and fatigue and alleviates ner- vousness by strengthening the body in Natures way.

SCIENTIFIC VALUE
 OF POLE, DISCOVERY
Eminent French GeOgraphsr Suggests Chain of CiTcunl-
 polar Observation Stations

Paris, March S.-Referring to the tragic end of Capt. Robert F. Scott on his recent voyage to the South Pole, M. Schrader, the eminent French geographer, expresses the opinion that the death of the English explorer is the last act in the drama of the Polar Point obsession, which has caused the loss of so many lives.
 The discoveries of Peary, Amund- sen and Scott have at last removed the imperative desire of scientists to find the Poles, M. Schrader declares and leave the way clear&for a consid- erable and important task, the re- suits of which will be far reaching. This consists in establishing a chain of cireumpolar observations, a vast system of scientific Ftmonasteries,' in- ternational in character.
 The atmospheric and marine cur rents which circulate. winter and summer alike, round the pole perpet- ually mix water and air. The cold waters descend toward the south, carrying quantities of ice, and are continually replaced by masses of warmer water which come from the Atlantic. Above these ice fields, float ing toward the south, hovers a layer of cold air ever falling on the frozen mass beneath, as a heavy syrup drops and remains at the bottom of the a glass of water. In their turn the sea breezes push and stir up this mass of cold air, lift it from it's icy bed and send it to cool America and Europe.
 These cold masses of air, as soon as they come in contact with the tepid atmosphere of the Atlantic con dense the moisture. DreciDitate rain.

 Those Liberal members of. the House of Commons who support Women's Suffrage have agreed upon a bill which will be introduced at the next session of Parliament, but they have not been successful in get ting the Unionists and Laborites, who believe in giving the vote to women. to act with them. In fact there is a very wide difference of opinion among the suffragists as to how broadly the franchise should be extended in the case of women.
 The bill of the Liberal suffragists would confer the parliam entary franchise on, CD women, whether married or unmarried, who, if they were men, would be entitled to be registered and to vote in respect of a household qualification; i. e., as in habitants or occupiers of dwelling houses; and (2) the wives of such in habitant occupiers, residing on the same premises as their husbands. The bill would restrict the franchise to women over 25 years of age. This bin would receive the support of those members of the cabinet who support the vote for women.

 The Liberals intend to frame their bill so that amendments can be in- troduced, and the House given an cp- portunity of deciding which, if any, form of suffrage they wish to extend to women.

Without Allegiance to the Confederaey.
(written expressly for The HeraId-l

Fifty years ago today the Confederate
army. under Gen. Robert E. Lee, was
encamped about the home of the most
prominent Union man in the South, John
Minor Bolts, who lived throughout the
war in Virginia without allegiance to the
Confederacy.
Mr.. Bolts had taken up his residence
on a farm of 200 acres near Culpeper,
In January, 1865, in order to live in Sc
cluslon. after two years Of contention
with the Confederate authorities, in the
eourse of which he had suffered i'm
prisonment
He had scarcely settled on his farm
when soldiers began to march past IT,
and thenceforth for a year he was des-
tined TO hear the tramp of armed men
and the rumble of guns along nearby
roads at painfully frequent intervals.
No other section of Virginia was more
often traversed by contending armies
than that in which he had settled. Con-
federetes and Federals marched and
cOuntermarched, advanced and retreated
over his acres.
In June, 1868, Lees army, marching
TO invade Pennsylvania had passed
through that section. Six weeks later
they had returned thither from their de-
feat at Gettysburg and had retired be-
hind the nearby Rapidan River.
Then came the victorious Federals,
whose camps whitened the fields on all
sides Of Culpeper and whose cavalry pa

, accomplished fact he had advocated a
conciliatory course by the United States
government on the ground that If the
Southern States were allowed to set up a
government of their own they would soon
want TO come back into the Union.
Mr.. Bolts views on the war naturally
brought him into early conflict with the
Confederate authorities. He discussed
the war in public and in private and
wrote on it for the press Each of his
utterances was weighed, and when on
March l, 1862, the Confederate Qovern-
ment suspended the constitutional privi-
lege of the writ of habeas corpus, Mr..
Bolts name was on the nrst list of pro-
scribed persons to be imprisoned for dis
loyalty to the Confederate States.
On the morning of March >. Mr.. Bolts
was arrested by a provost guard of 10(
armed men under command of Capt
A c. Goodwin. THE first man to be
arrested for loyalty to the Union gov.
ernment in Virginia. as Mr.. Bolts
termed himself was taken to McDaniels
negro Jail in Richmond. This was a
loathsome place in Blankinship's Alley
near Franklin Street. Here the -vir.
ginia Unionist, with many others de-
tanned on similar charges, was confined
for eight weeks.

the Richmond Examiner, commenting OF
Mr.. Bolts arrest, that as yet the gov

information that would convict Bolts
of treason, but he is known to be the

On reaching mans estate Mr.. Bolts
became a lawyer and attached himself
politically, to the fortunes Of Henry Clay.
He was a member of the Virginia Legis-
lature from 1888 to. 1883, and he was
chosen a Whig member of Congress for
three terms, his last term being from
1877 to 1873, when Abraham Lincoln was
member from Illinois. During the dec

Bolts, being a Whig. was out Of Official

as a public speaker.
With the election of Mr.. Lincoln to
the Presidency, Mr.. Bolts, in common
with other Virginia Unionists, declared
himself for the Union. In the previous
January he had been defeated as q
Union candidate for the Virginia State
convention, called to consider the ques-

On the 11th there was severe fighting

In the course of the fighting Stuart,
