incutenant itoncri lv I'eary arrived
hct-o ou I he A . -tie Club steamer Windward.
The most northern spot Lieutenant
Peary reached was eighty-four degrees,
seventeen minutes, or within K*. miles
of the Pole. Tw foreign explorers
have advanced far her than this. Nansen
reaching latitude SG.14 and ihe
Ahruzzi expedition. Stl.33. On Peary's
previous journey he reached latitude
S3.'J7.
The Lieutenant was well, though his
Eskimos had suffered severely and
many died from a native epidemic.
Mrs Peary and her daughter, who had
gone to meet him on the Windward,
were well, though Mrs. Peary had been
ill.
Dr. Diedriek also was with the party,
having rejoined it at Ktali after his
quarrel'with Peary. The two men did
not sneak to each other on the trip,
and Dr. Diedriek said their differences
had not been settled.
The Windward has discharged otic
of ihe most interesting cargoes that
has over been landed at this port. Eskimo
eaaoes, sledges and implements
of all kinds, a musk-ox, a walrus, ten
of t tie dogs which dragged Peary's
sledges over many a weary mile of ice.
and a hundred other curios, large ami
email, have been loaded 011 freight ears.
Peary, who received the news of his
promotion from the rank of Lieutenant
to that of Commander upon landing,
was kept busy most of the day reeeiv- {
ing and answering telegrams and
granting interviews to newspaper men.
Lieut'mint Peary ays that while he j
did not discover the North Pole on his
trip of four years, he feels certain that 1
tiie Pole can ii(. reached, and furthermore.
that if he wore a titan of independent
means he would persevere tin- 1
til li< succeeded. Ho Kiivs I lie Pole ran j

lilr Mr says that he would just as i
soon winter at Cape Hccla as at Sabine
or Hlali.
'nitre is nothing whatever, the explorer
says, in the old popular notion
of an open polar sea, nor is there any i
foundation for the claim that the pole ,
is surrounded liy an immovable sea of
lee. The water of the polar region Is I
covered with shifting masses of ire.
The citizens of Sydney gave a public '
reoeploin for Lieuteuont Peary in Alexandra
Ilall. Mayor Crow presided ami
presented to Peary an eloquent address
commendatory of his work, to
which the explorer made a brief hut ef,fect
ive response.

Roston. Mass.?The Democratic State
Convention was somewhat strenuous,
but it wound up in a harmonious manner,
and tlie tieket. Gaston and Crosby,
is assured of the united support of nil
the factions which have at last been
brought together.
George Fred Williams made a strong
fight to secure the adoption of a minority
platform indorsing the Kansas City
platform, but lie was defeated on a rising
vote of ahnut five to one. Hamlin
made a contest for the Gubernatorial
nomination, but it was merely perfunctory.
Tlie vote stood: For William A.
Gaston. 10(M: for Charles S. Hamlin.
232. Mr. Hamlin made the nomination
unanimous and Mr. Williams agreed
to support the ticket. Tlie rest of tlio
ticket follows:
Ideutenant-( Sovernor. Joint C. Crosby:
Secretary of State. Wlllniore It.
Stone: Treasurer. Thomas c. Tltatcher;
Auditor. .Tosepli 1,. Chalifoux; Attorney
General. John J. Flaherty.
In naming Colonel Gaston to bend
the ticket precedent was shattered, inasmuch
as he was nominated, and then
given a platform of his own dictation.
The platform adonted is a repudiation
of the Kansas City platform, for Mr.
< i.iston refused to ' ? ?I?,? nominee if
in anv way ilie declaration of principles
could be construed to Indorse
those things most prominently advocated
by the Party in the last two national
campaigns. The question of
trusts is dealt with in strong language.

of Health.
HAS SUFFERED MUCH RECENTLY
The Bartow Sage Tells of Mis Experiences
While Confined to His Sick
Chamber.
(lootl health is the best of earthly 1
blessings, but if we were not sick some- j
times we would not appreciate it. And
there is a good side to almost every
misfortune. Old age has its privileges j
and sickness its compensations. 1 know i
that my family loved mo, but 1 did '
not realize how much until the linger- !
lug attack required nursing and night !
watching, and they had to sit no with j
me and comfort me as I sat in a chair i
and struggled for breath. Urenth, more j
breath, was what 1 wanted and I could
not get it lying down. I thought, of the
last verse that David ever wrote. "Let
everything that hath breath praise the j
Lord."
And during my long illness 1 have
had three trained nurses my wile and
two daughters, and two married daughters
and a granddaughter besides on
the relief corps, and they have been so
watchful, so willing ami so good. The
oldest of the nurses lias been in
training for fifty years and lias sp? nt
all her married life in nursing and
training others and knows just what
to do and how and when to do it. j
What would a large family do without
a good old mother? Hut at last the i
girls had to force her to go up stairs
whoie she could s'eep without hearing
my cough that was wearing out the
brom liial tulx s and the larynx and tho
epiglottis and the Soylla and Charybdis
and oth< r my n rious organ.-. And !
bud good doctors, ton. who diagn >sod
i mo twice a day and sounded my heart
with their tei-'phorn tubes and thumpd
my < hi st and beat my stoinacli and
looked at my i eigne and ran the handle
of a spoon down my throat and
gagged me and prized open my eyelids
and timi d toy pulse and then 'wrote a
long list ,f prt u riptions that broke a '
drug store and made up a tin nu of
what I should i;w and what I should j
