PEARY'S DASH FOR THE POLE

Washington.—Charles H. Darling, the , i.ra.ury me norse anncars to bo
assistant secretary of the navy, will be headless, which glvea the whole a rath-
he work and his widow cialmed that
le contract having been awarded it
.just bo carried out. So she engaged
another sculptor who, not only bad
nevor talked with Rohl-Smltb about th«
statue, but who had never seen Sher-
man, and he completed the Job.
Incidentally the statue was paid for
before it was completed, and all the
money was used up; so that there was
delay and dispute about the money end
of the affair.
The statue has been some time over
due now, but at last it is In place, await-
ng the ceremony of unveiling; but
those who have seen it without its sheet
have been asionished to And that from
the most common point of view above
the treasury the horse appears to bo
entitled to the
credit if Com-
leander Peary suc-
ceeds in discover-
ing the north pole
on the expedition
which he is about
to undertake. Kor
Darling is alto-
gether responsible
for the expedition.
The assistant
secretary, though a
hard-headed Ver-

"crank" on arctic
exploration. He

has been a student of the subject for
years. He has a library which is stocked
with books telling of the various at-
tempts to reach the north pole. That big
expanse of white at the flattenned end
or the school globes has always worried
him. He wants to see it colored and he
wants to see it covered with American
paint.

whom he regarded as the best equipped

most likely to achieve what they were
all seeking for. When Peary came back
to duty as a civil engineer Darling be-

The statue is placed Just south of the
treasury in the parking which makes it
visible tho whole length of Pennsyl-
vania avenue-by far the most con-
spicuous site in tho entire city. Com-
pared with the St. Oaudens statue re-
cently, unveiled in Central park it will
attract anything but favorable criticism.
The friend of Woman.
It was nearly 40 years ago that Gen.
I* rands Spinner first opened the way
for the appoint-
ment of women in
the goverment de-
Partment in
Washington. It
wasalmostns great
an innovation then
as would bo the ap-
pointment to-day
of a woman as sec-
retary of the treas-
ury, but the experi-
ment was so suc-

An Italian expert in the art of shining
shoes has been arrested in Atlantic City
for using fox terrier puppies as a part
of his polishing kit. Despite his pro-
test that the process did not hurt the
dogs, he was fined, and the luckless ob-
jects of his alleged cruelty taken from
him, says Collier's Weekly. Strips of
flannel are usually employed to Rivet he
finishing gloss of the perfect "patent-
leather polish," or "oil shine," produc-
ing a scintillating effect pleasing both
to the operator and customer. The
Italian artist of Atlantic City, seeking
to triumph over competition and Im-
prove on the routine system of polish-
ing. seized a new idea and a fox terrier
pup. simultaneously. The experiment
was a success, the dog survived It, and
the demands of trade necessitated the
employment of several pups. In order to
avoid wearins out the original victim

the conflict between progress and con-
servatism, said In his defense; "No

scheme which he believed would prove
successful. So without consulting Peary
further he proceeded to arrange for a
eave of three years and then told Peary
what he had done.
Peary'a Jfew Keheme.
Peary's new scheme certainly has tho
merit of novelty and it does credit to his
Ingenuity and to
his training.
His leave begins
an April 1, and he
will start at once
for Cape York on
the coast of Green-
land. There Is a
tribe o f Whale
Sound Eskimos,
numbering about-
100, with whom
Peary has estab-
lished friendly re-
lations on his for-
mer expeditions.
He proposes to
take up this tribe

bodily and carry them farther north to
the north shore of Grantland, where the
colony will settle and form a base of
supplies for the party which will under-
take to reach the pole. This base of sup-
plies will be within 500 miles of the pole,
several hundred miles nearer than the
base of supplies of any previous explor-
ing party, and thus affording Just that
much additional advantage. Once there,
Peary will make up his party, which will
-■onsist of only one white r.an besides
himself, the others being Eskimos. The
entire party will consist of about °0
persons.
The dash for the pole over the ice will
begin on February 1,1905. Dogs will be
used to haul the sledges and the party
will make better time than other ex-
peditions. as it will be small and every
•nember of it will have been thoroughly-
trained in Arctic life.

only proposed the employment of wo-
men, but he fought for it. He was lucky
in having for a superior Salmon P.
Chase, who, as secretary of the treasury,
had finally to pass upon the question,
and Kate Chase Sprague, the secretary's
brilliant daughter, was a warm cham-
pion of the proposition. Indeed, there
are some who say it was her original
suggestion and that Spinner only fol-
lowed suit. But whoever made the
suggestion Spinner will always have the
credit of carrying it into effect.
Now the women in the departments
are going to erect a monument to Spin-
ner s memory. The movement was
started very soon after Spinner's death,
and 12 years ago those who were in-
terested organized themselves into the
"General Spinner Memoral association
Funds have been raised, the monument
has been completed—it will be of bronze
and congress has given permission for
its erection in the national capital.

One source of immense trouble to
the cattleman has been the calf thief.
Many a large "outfit" has gone out of
business on account of the "rustler,"
says Leslie's Monthly. Where cow
herders have to ride the range for 50
or 75 miles they are likely o be fore-

vigilant rustler whose little mountain

of a bunch of cattle. Or very possibly

may be stated parenthetically in pass-
ing that more than one large "outfit"
of to-day got its start entirely from
rustled cattle. In the more arid
southwest rustling is not so common
because most of the water is pumped
and cattle get Into the habit of com-
ing home often to drink and can be
watched more closely, but even there
it is a factor of no slight importance.
Electric Light ii„,| Slntrer*.
Opera singers sing better than thev
used to, thanks to the electric light.
In the past all our theaters were
lighted with gas. Thousands of gas
jets going all the evening; exhaust and
defile the air. A singer might be in
excellent voice, but he could never
sing his best in a gas-filled atmo-
sphere. The vitiated air scraped his
throat, took away from him all buoy-
ancy and elasticity of spirit. He sang
in a listless way—he didn't begin to
do himself justice.
