f TERRIBLE EXPERIi OF PC Story of the Great Suffer gators Who Attempte to China During t William Barentz, the navigator on ; m the Dutch expeditions of 1594 and \vi 1595 was given command of two th ships in 1596 to explore the north- th ? ern waters for a passage to China, j He fell far short of his goal, but he j be and his crew were the first Europ-! ec eans to spend a winter within the ai: Arctic circle and furnish definite in- fr formation to the civilized world about in the frozen wastes north of Russia ac > and Siberia. ne Jacob Van Heemsherki and Jan th i , Corneliszon Rijp were captains under di L x Barentz. Gerrit de "Veer was second K, mate and historian, and to his care- ni Y ful records the world owes the nar- fu ' ration of that memorable voyage. j as The squadron sailed from Amster- us dam May 10. Near Spitzbergen Captain Rijp lost his bearings and turn- ex ed back. Barentz, Heemsherki and De Veer kept resolutely to the north, or They crossed Archangel Sea and of sighted Nova Zembia, which still R bears the name the Dutch gave it. ti] They rounded the Orange islands, another Dutch name, north of Nova jo Zembia, and turned southward into K Kara sea, confident that the north- K east passage was before them. j P< But winter was coming on. August m 26 the ship dropped anchor in a lit-! tie harbor on the northeastern coast of Nova Zembia. An ice pack closed about them, which De Veer's journal says: "Forced us, in great cold, pover> tv, misery and grief to stay all the jh winter. * * * On the 30th the masses er of ice began to pile themselves one of upon another against the ship in such ti< a manner that all that was around at and about her began to crack and I th split. It seemed as if' the ship must 0f break into a thousand pieces, a thing be most terrible to see'and hear, and fit ar to make one's hair stand on end. The q< ship was afterwards in equal dangerj th ? when the iee formed'beneath, raising (jj her and bearing her up as though she ed had been lifted by some instrument." ac Soon the intrepid adventurers were m, forced to leave their ship. They erected a house on shore and pre- cu pared to await the breaking of the su ice pack. Never before had any European wintered so far north, so X] the Dutchmen had no one's experi- j ence to warn them of the extreme TI cold coming. The fact that they j bore the greatest privations and hardships cheerfully adds to their honor. They "placed their affairs in a the hands of God." Two men died, ** scurvy attacked them and Barents ^ 1 J ?n-nc in eiVht i 1 > succumueu wueu icua v??s> Aii siquv. DeVeer records: 0E "Always cheerful and good tem-;m< pered, the men bore equally well the enui of the long polar night and the j severity of the cold, which was so extreme that during two or three days when they had not been able V1 to keep on so large a fire as usual on ^ account of the smoke being driven ni back again by wind, it froze so hard j 111 in the house that the walls and floor j "c were covered with ice to the depts of I two fingers, even in the cots where we were sleeping. It was necessary; st; to thaw the sherry when it was serv- j ed out, as was done every two days al( at the rate of half a pint." j ^ A surprising ignorance of the! needs of fresh air came near causing . de the death of the whole party once. gr An unusally cold wind was blowing. t0 "We khew no means of guarding m ourselves against it, and while we S1< ^were consulting together one of our Ju men in this extreme necessity proposed to make use of the coal which rh we had brought from the mip into v" our house and to make a fire of it, ^ y because it burns with great beat and lasts a long time. In the evening we lighted a large fire of this coal. j. * which threw out a great heat, bitf we did not provide against what might happen, for as the heat revived us completely, we tried to re- w: tain it for a long time. To this end m we thought it well to stop up all the a doors and the chimney, to keep in gr the delightful warmth. * * * | fo And we also ourselves were sensible of v of a great pain which .attacked us, so ' ed that several of the bravest came out to of their cots and began by unstopping pa. the chimney and afterwards opening ca the door. But the man who opened di: the dood fainted and fell senseless on ty the snow." fo On Christmas and the twelfth la night they held parties. The snow co ? ' fell so deep that they were forced to of tunnel out from the door. Polar bears and foxes scrambled over the oh iroof and tried to break in. Many an animals were trapped or shot by one fif of the men, who climbed up the re chimney for that purpose. Strange th to say, the bear meat was discarded j vi as unfit, while the fox meat was eat-! w< en. Had the Dutchmen used the to i teen aays. .Mayor AUKtriuun nas peatedly stated that he would place e maximum sentence on those concted of selling whiskey and his 3rk yesterday proves his statement be true.

De Veer writes: "Each night we heard first the ;ars and then the foxes, which walkl upon the top of the dwellings id tried to tear off some planks om the roof, that they might get to the house. So the sailors were customed to climb into the chimiy, whence, as from a watch tower, tey could shoot the animals and ive them off. We made a great imber of snares, into which fell imbers of blue foxes, the valuable r of. which served as a protection ;ainst cold, while their flesh enabled ; to economize on provisions." The ice disabled their ship, so the plorers were forced to leave Xova jmbia in open boats. This they did i May 20, 1597.

TILLMAX CRITICISES BRYAX. ;/,y Says Secretary of State Should Quit '!M the Lecture Platform. \ Washington, July 16.?To-day's -jg. New York Herald says: .. , Senator Tillman, who confesses that at one time he made $25,000 a "ear on the lecture platform during vacations of Congress, said he never ! had neglected his official duties to fui lecture engagements. He rgrelted Mr. Br ian's devotion to the platform. "It is a perfectly legitimate way to make money," he said, "but I regret to hear of Mr. Bryan doing it. Just at this time, when there is so much important work before the department, I would prefer to have him stay in Washington. He could better afford tr* imnnvprish himself than to aDDear I to neglect his official, duties. "The impression prevails?though I don't know how well founded it is? that Mr. Bryan has made a great deal of money since 1S96. He has published two or three books, owns The Commoner, which has a wide circulation, and has lectured extensively. I love the man so much I hate to see him do anything that will belittle him in the eyes of the people as this certainly will do. While his speaking tours will serve a good purpose i% that he always preaches true democracy, and patriotism and Christian living, he never can again appear as C a knight errant of democracy." e SICILIAN BRIGAND ON TRIAL. Outlaw Had Fled to United' States J Where He Was Arrested. y A special dispatch to the London Dhronicie from Milan says: V The notorious Sicilian brigand, Calenda, who was arrested and expelled from the United States in 1911, is again on trial at Cantanzaro, where he was condemned in 1868 to thirty years at hard labor for murder. : Scarcely had he been released w,hen he was retried at Monteleone and . sentenced for five years for another crime. Calenda then expressed his intention to settle down quietly and did so until 1905, when he heard . that a man named Maori had made a boast concerning his beautiful niece. Mad with rage, Calenda waylaid him with a gun and shot at him, but miss- I ed. A few nights later Macri was found pierced through the heart. The brigand disappeared and in his absence was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. A few days later a shepherd stumbled across two bodies on a mountain where Calenda was known to be hiding. Both L? the murdered men had given evidence against him, and both had been shot in the back by bullets of a pattern that Calenda was carrying. The judicial authorities increased the S< penalty to life-long incarceration, and carbineers were dispatched to scour the mountain fastness in the hope of capturing him. In the meantime Calenda, furnished with a false passport, was on his way to New York and no more was heard of him until 1911, when an Italian detective who OUI had dropped into a Brooklyn phar- " macy recognized the ex-brigand in EFF the chemist s assistant. Hence his expulsion from the United States and Grov< his reappearance to answer for two in' murders and two other attempts to < murder. This is the fourth time the court has been occupied in judging his bloody deeds. yQ ^ you 1 Two Boys Drown While Fishing.
