OFF FOR THE POLE. i COMMANDER PERRY SAILS FROM NEW YORK. Ks Famous Explorer Feels Confident That He Will Go Father Than Any Previous Attempt. With the Perry Arctic club's pennant fluttering from her main tiuck and the Stars and Stripes at her mizzen. the Arctic exploration steamer Roosevelt left her pier at New York Monday carrying Commander Robert E. Peary, who Is to head another expedition in quest of the North Pole. The Roosevelt, accompanied by a government tug, proceeded to neat* City Island, where she nnchnrofi the night to permit the adjustment of her compasses. Tuesday she will go to Oyster Bay, where President Roosevelt will board her to bid goodbye to her commander and crew. The Roosevelt will then head for Sydney, Cape Breton, where she will stop to coal. Before tho ship left Commander Peary said: "I have done too much work in the Arctic regions to believe that 1 can mako the pole without strenuous work. I am not foolish enough to say that I am going to do or die. but I am certainly going to put into this trip every bit of energy?mental, moral and physical?that I have in order to succeed in my undertaking. * I know my path will be hedged in by many trials and undoubtedly many disappointments but I feel confident as iny ship leaves New York today that if I do not reach the polo itself, at least I will carry the American flag farther north than it has been carried by any previous explorer. Unless unforeseen circumstances' intervene within the next year, I hope to plunt the Stars and Stripes at the pole." As tho Roosevelt swung out into the East river, a few minutes after 1 o'clock a crowd on the pier cheered good-bye, while thewhistles of river craft joined In the farewell. On board tli Roosevelt, besides Commander Peary, Mrs. Peary and their children, Marie and Robert E. Jr., were a number of members ol the Peary Arctic club, including its president, Thomas D. Hubbard: its vice president, Zenas Crane, and its secretary, Herbert L. Brldgman; several members of the Explorers' ??- - ~ .. uu auu incuaH or rjoniraander Peary.

The crew was kept bnsy up to the hour of departure, stowing away stores in the hold, including large quantities of books and magazines and a billard table. Just before leaving 21 Bibles were received aboard, the gift of the New York Bible society. The Daughters of the Revolution presented to Commander Peary a peace flag with the request that carry it wi'h him to the pole "as a shield and buckler ugainst all disaster." OIL FIKLDS BURNING. The Blaze Is Visible For One Hundred Miles At Sea. The Immense Mexican oil fields between Tampico and Tuxpan are burning. The Are is visible 100 miles away on the Gulf. The light is intermittent nnd therefore dangerous to prisoners. A dispatch to this effect was received at the state department Tuesday morning from United States Consul General Emerill Griffith, at Tampico. No further details of the fire are known there and the cause cannot be ascertained. It is believed that the entire fields, probably the largest in the world, are on fire and will be burned dry. It will entail a loss of millions upon millions of gallons of oil. PITT POISON IN COFFEE. Woman Charged With Trying to Kill Husband and Two Sons. Mrs. Alexander T. Clnrk, wife of n well known farmer, residing near Ingrams, Danville county Va., was held for the grand jury at n preliminary hearing Thursday at Chatham. on n charge of thrice attempting to poison her husband and her two grown stepsons by placing Paris green in their coffee. It was only after the third attempt that the cause of sudden Illness of the three men was discovered. A physician, who analyzed the coffee, found thai it contained poison. The only reason assigned for the deed is the unpleasant relations with her husband.* Another Star on the Flng.

Tuberculosis Is Transmitted Through Menus riying in the Dust. One germ found in dust needs especial mention. Tuberculosis, which may be classed among the dust diseases ravages our country beyond all other tubercule bacilli. Every time the consumptive sends forth sputum where it can mix with the dust of streets or room he sends forth hundreds and thousands of living tubercle bacilli. Once mixed with that dust, deposited on sand or other cutting particle, the poisoned weapon flies upward ready to cut through and enter the body through the lesion formed in the lungs. In case after case we find In the lungs of perfectly healthy persons small tubercular leslonB which have healed, showing that they were able to combat the poison when attacked. But how about the time of low resistance? How can the citizen tell when that time may come to him or to his family? The magnificent crusade against tuberculosis is doing much to convince the individual of the necessity of care against contagion. The municipality can do almost as much towards the stamping out of the plague by a steady constant struggle to achieve the cleanest possible street. In the dirt of the assembly hall, of the theatre, of the hotel and the i railway car we find conditions in which the difflculties which exist in the private house are fourfold multli plied. For hours the crowds of peo-? pie in such places sit breathing the accumulated dust brought from the streets which, rising from the floor, floats In clouds into the air and settles heavily on the antiquated plush still in high favor for such places. . It is but a year or two ago that the newspapers considered briefly the dangers of that bacterial par ad ike, the Pullman sleeping car. A brief spasm of remonstrance passed over . the country and disappeared as sud, denly as it came. The peril from , such sources was. however, recognized two decades ago by more than , one, and a quotation concerning the nreRenro nf tnlwir?>iil,\olu --1 ? 1 ; os from Dr. Mitchell Prudden writ ton almost two decades ago, holds as true today. "Sleeping cars and the staterooms I of steamships and hotel bedrooms are almost always liable to contain f infectious material, if they have i been recently used by uncleanly i consumptives or those ignorant of t the danger of their expectoration. When the infectious nature of con1 sumption becomes generally appre elated, hotels and transportation > companies over long routes will be i compelled to provide special accom. odations for such persons as are ' known to be thus affected."?IIollls Godfrey in Atlantic. WAITS A YEAR FOR FORTUNE. i French Soldier Losses His Winning Lottery Ticket. A private soldier named Claret, oi Paris, some weeks ago bought a mckei of four lottery ticket;, known ' as a autprise, for half a crow v.*. lie noted the numbers of his tickets and then lost the envelope in which he hud placed them. Fortunately he had written his name 011 the envelope, which was found and returr-od to him in bar racks. Hut one of the tickets was missing, and that ticket won $100,000. Claret wrote to the lottery man ugemeai una ine ticket has been stopped. ' He will now have to wait a year and a day before he will enter into possession of his fortune. As to Hot Weather. The torrid wave now sweeplug over the North is playing the mischief. Many have been prostrated by the excessive heat and not a few have died. That section of the country is to be cotnmisserated. Here in the South it has so far been pleasant. We have had one or two warm days, but nobody has been made sick. The nights, without exception. are cool. When we read how people in the tenement district of New Yoik city have to crawl on the 'ire escapes M night to get a b cu.h of air and i?ercf:icc a little running the risk of fallng off to the pavement below, we begin to .realize that we know very little about hot weather. One of the most d:sagreeable summers we ever spent was in n Northern city. We longed for the cool nights and breezes of the South. Take it venr in and year out, and all the year round we have about the finest climmate to he found anywhere in the world. The winters are mild and th summers are generally far pleasanter than In latitudes farther North. What a charming spring was the on? of this year, and what a glorious winter wo had! And although the summer is more than half over, few feel the need of going to the mountains or to ?h<> shore. Those who have gone did so. not because a change of climate was necessary, but simply because it is their custom to go somewhere for :t vneaton. The rest of us who staid at home have been about as comfortaoie as we would nave t>eei< had we gone to the mountains. One has got to travel about a good bit before he appreciates the 1 really magniiieient climate of the 1 South. We who have lived here all 1 our lives don't value it as we ought. When it gets a little warm we iina- < glne that if we could get up North < we should find it cooler. Perhaps; I though the chances are that we I should find it not near so cool, liar s Harbor, Nahnnt, Castine Littleton, Narraganzet Pier, Shelter Island and t other places of resort during the 1 summer season can be as hot as the l hottest places one ever saw. I Yes, we are upon the whole pretty well satisfied with the South and its climate in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. We know one may go ] much farther into higher latitudes I and fare a great deal worso.?Co- i lumbla Record. iiuj i wiiiury sne uvea in mat ciosea and shuttered house without a newspaper, without an open book, without a flower, and without a word to her from any living soul. For fifty years Mine, de Provlngy wore white satin. She wore It on her wedding day and always dressed in white to the end. ? Fifty years ago Mme. de Provlngy died. They had been married in the morning, and the young husband died of applexy an hour after the ceremony. When she recovered from the shock, if. need, she can be said ever to have recovered from it. Mme. do Provlgny had the house shut up, hut she retained J-er servants on condition that they were never to confront her with a living being and never to speak to her again. She did not know the trend of public events. Motor cars were unknown to her. She did not know whether France was a republic. She had never heard of the Dreyfus case, of the death of Queen Victoria, or any national or international event. In her will M?*e. de Provlgny left lie* whole fortune to men and women aged over sixty years of good character. She left a large house in the country as a home for them and $2,000,000 for its support. Proposed Forestry Law*. If the legislature of Loulsianua passes the forestry law proposed by Governor Dlanchard of that State, and said to have the support of the largest timber owners, it will be the most advanced step yet taken by any slate to regulate timber cutting on 1 .'irate lands. By the terms of the proposed statute, the cutting of trees under twelve inches in diameter, four feet from the ground, will not be permitted. The law does not apply to those, who, in good faith wish to clear the land for agricultural purposes, or need the timber on the grounds for roads or ditches, or in case of an owner or tennant who uses the wood for domestic purposes. The lumberman will be required to fell his trees in a way to causa least damage to young timber, and the refuse must not be left where its presence will invite fire or otherwise endanger the small trees. The penalty provided for violations of the proposed law is a fine of $2.r? to J100 for each offense, and imprisonment may be added. Each tree wrongfully cut will constitute a seperata offense. The proposed law not only delimits offenses and names penalties, but also sets forth the rea^bns why such a law is thought advisable. T'mber is becoming scarce, it save and ought not be needlessly wasted. Forest destructon will carry with it other evils besides dearth of wood. It will cause destruction, soil erosion and increase floods and droughts, to the damage of the whole people. The forests ought not to bbe wholly cut down, the proposed law further says, because they assist in obstructing disastrous tornadoes. The Supreme Court of Maine recently ruled that that state may lawfully restrict il ? clearing of private y owned forest land, if the public would be injured by such clearing. Louisianna's proposed law goes still further in the same direction and follows the lines of the opinion rendered by the Main Supreme Court. It is worthy of note that the twe states which are first to take this advanced stand in forests protection are fifteen hundred miles apart and have forests not at all alike in character, different noils, climates with few points in common, crops of wholly d.fferent kinds, geography -and topography of opposite extremes yet each realizes the immense importance of its forsts and how essential their protection is to the continued prosperity of its people. A ('ecular Well in Florida. In their investigation of the wells and underground waters of Florida , the geologists of the United States | Geological Survey have noticed many < interesting things. Among these is a well at Welnka, on the St. John's River, from which two kinds of wa'.er are obtained. This well is ."09 f-f fc deep The ' length of thecasing is 110 feet The 1 well was first drilled 160 feet, and ' from this depth ordinary "sulphur" water was obtained. The well was then carriedd to a depth of 309 feet, wh'.'i it encountuied a strong miner- \ al wiiii!. having a disagreeable so -.v 1 taste. In order to use both knds of 1 water ail inner tuhiner wna run neur. ly to the t>ottom of the well. Both this and the outer casing were connected with pumps, so that ordinary i water and mineral water can he c pumped at the same time. A favorite ( jl:oe played on visitors is to give them a drink of the weaker water in the first glass and to replace it with th-? brine in the second. t Not more than half a dozen wells f ?f this kind are known in the conn- a try, but there is no reason why similar wells can not be obtained in regions where the waters in the upper strata differ from those lying deeper.

The hundred i-cwspaper men and women gathered at Gaffney are representatives of that which is best and noblest in South Carolina. The i gathering is thoroughly representative. Not all the newspaper workers in the State are here and the pity is that more are not here to join in the pleasures that have been provided; to talk shop and enjoy a brief and needed rest. No people on earth deserve a chance to get away from the "everlasting grind" than do these men and women who day after day toll to provide the news. Dr. Dodge said that he thanked God that there was not a single yellow journal in South Carolina; this was simply saying that there is not a dishonorable or unclean newspaper published in all Caroliua.

The boast of the Republicans that their policies have carried the country safely through the panic, and that business is rapidly reviving, does not seem to agree with the facts. For instance, the United States Cast Iron Pipe Foundry Company, known as the Pipe Trust, has just made its report which shows very disappointing results. The President of the company says in his report: "During November. 11)07, business absolutely stopped; the company did not lose its business. There was no business. "When there was added to this natural condition the depression which was caused by the panic, the result was a stagnation such as has never been known in the history of the cast iron pipe business in this country. Not only was there a cessation of hlisippu and n cliorn foil VMJ MIIU U Cliot |/ xan in prices in November, but there was a declining market all through the winter and early Spring months." But the report tries to encourage the stockholders, although no divi dend is declared even on preferred stock, by baying "that with the op ening of Spring business has im proved." It need hardly he said that but very small orders would be an improvement over the entire cessation of business reported. The other branches of the steel and iron business, although not making quite as disastrous a showing are nearly in the same fix. Yet the Republican platform boasts that Kepoblican policies have protected the business of the country. Aspect of the Yellow Peril. The danger of any union between China and Japan, for aggressive purpose, does not loom as large as it, undoubtedly, did three or four years ago. Indeed. !>etween China and Japan, there are evidences of strained relations, consequent to Japan's hold on to Manchuria, which it almost looks as if she is ready to divide with Russia. The island empire has also lost, rather than gain cd by her forceful attitude in her recent collision with China, over tht seizure of arms, imported from Ja pan, presumably for the use of rebels in China. And it may be that the passage of the fleet of the United States into Pacific waters had a deeper meaning than that which has been heretofore attached to it. Without control of the sea, Japan's fine army would find it most difficult to make any serious impression on the great celestial empire, and while it would crumple up the army of China, should the ilatter kingdom accept the gauge of battle and contend for mastery in the plains of Manchuria, the destruction of Japan's fleet would lead to the inevitable discomfitnre of Japan's army in time. Possibly it is the appearance of the fleet of the United States on the Pacific coast, which has enabled the astute Japanize to realize the possibities which j migni ensue irom any undue pressure exerted on China. It is extremely doubtful that Japan could count on British support, if aggressions against China brought remonstrances fr< m the Uritd States; for it ihai m. i? ndered them, there would be the extreme Vk> fl s * probability that intervention upo.? the part of Germany would follow and then there would ensue a struggle, in which the Napoleonic wars would grow small and pale their fires, in contrast with the titanic contest thus aroused. British diplomacy would not permit any such terrific risk, to involve the empire, to save the amour prope of Japan and a settlement would be effected in some manner. Perhaps, the thorough understanding of this is the explanation of the recent conciliatory attitude of the attitude ol the island empire towards the United States. Bryan's Strength. According to our view, Bryan's phenomenal strength in the Democratic convention, now admitted b> his opponents as overwhelming, has been due to a great popular demand for him on the part of the rank and file of the Democracy; but this view is questioned by persons as entitled to their opinion as we are, and possibly as well informed upon matters pertaining to politics. Many ol these claim Bryan worked for thi nomination and the result is due tc persistant effort upon his part. 11 it is, he is one of the greatest polit ical leaders this country lias evei produced: for. in the face of tht protests of the greatest papers ol his own party, and the persistent efforts of its brainest leaders anc cleverest politicians, he has swepl everything before him.
