New York, Oct. 1.—Commander Peary
arrived in this city early today from
Portland, Me., to take command of his
arctic exploration steamer Roosevelt in
the naval parade on the Hudson river.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Peary.
The Roosevelt was coming up the har-
bor amid the salutes of other ships
when the commander arrived. The
whistles of a hundred harbor craft
shrieked a continuous salute to the
Roosevelt as she ploughed up the har-
bor. The Roosevelt was well on the
way from the quarantine station on
Staten island to the pier at the foot of
west 42d street, yyhere the explorer
was to board her, when Commander
Peary arrived at 7.15 a. m. The hour
of arrival was so early that few per-
sons were at the station to greet them.
They were warmly greeted, however,
by Herbert Bridgman, secretary of the
Peary Arctic club. A group of news-
paper men had also gathered on the
platform, and they, with the few oth-
ers in the station who discovered the
return of the pole explorer, -crowded
around the commander and questioned
him about his trip to the Far North.
With the laughing remark that he was
too hungry to talk, Commander Peary
turned aside his questioners and hast-
ened across the street for breakfast.
Members of the Peary Arctic club and
the close friends of the explorer will
discuss with him during his stay in the
city various phases of the North Pole
controversy but Commander Peary said
he would not talk about the subject for
publication until the formal statement
was prepared. Commander Peary did
not know how long he would remain in
New York before returning to his home
at Eajatla Island.

OCTOBER 1,
The corporation of the city of Man-
chester England, provides gas stoves
free of' charge to all householders who
ask for them. The total amount of
profits to the city since 1883 exceeded
$6,750,000. The price to the consumers
is only 55 cents per 1,000 cubic feet,
and for laundry manufacturing pur-
poses this will probably soon be re-
duced to 49 cents.

American pioners despite the fact that

Austin, Tex., Oct. 1.—According to
Commissioner of Agriculture Kone the
announcement will be made within the
next few days of the locations decided
upon for the establishment of the four
'experimental stations, authorized to be
established by an act of the Thirty-
first legislature. Commissioner Kone
returned yesterday from South and
Southeast Texas, where he had been

the illness of his father and some
pressing business engagements, it was
imposible for Lieut. Gov. A. B. David-
sop, the ’ third member of the board,
also its chairman, to accompany the
committee on its tour of investigation.
Commissioner Kone said he has just
written Lieut. Gov. Davidson to call a
meeting of the committee to be held
within the next few days, either at
Austin or some other point in the state,
so that the committee can announce its
decision as to the location of all of the
stations. The committee now has com-
pleted its investigations of the various
sites, and it only remains for it to de-
cide the question. This should be done,
Commissioner Kone says, as soon as
possible so that the experimenting can
begin with the proper season.
On this last tour of investigation,
Commissioner Kone says, they visited
Eay City, where five sites were of-
fered; Brazoria county, where also five
sites were offered; four in the vicinity
of Angleton and one at Roan, and one
site in Fort Bend county at Booth, one
site in Liberty county and four or five
sites in Jefferson county. Judge Kone
said the committee found the sites of-
fered in Jefferson county to be the
most highly developed, and that next
comes the sites offered in Matagorda
county. Harris and Galveston coun-
ties, Commissioner Kone said, did not
offer any sites, but both counties fa-
vor some of the other sites enumerated
above.

At a dance given by a certain set in
Philadelphia society there was one par-
ticipant, a man from Wilmington, who
met with a mishap on the floor due to
his lack of skill in dancing.
The Wilmington person observed to
one guest: “Sir, you are the only gen-
tleman in the room.”
“Thanks,” was the dry response.
“May I inquire what motive has led
to this complimentary outburst on your
part?”
“Why,” explained the out-of-towner,
“when I tripped in the dance just now
and fell sprawling to the floor, inci-
dentally ripping oft a large section of
my charming partner’s gown, you were
the only one in the place who did not
laugh.”
The guest smiled grimly.

New York, Oct. 1.—Justice William
Gaynor of the State Supreme Court
was last night nominated for mayor of
Greater New York by the Democratic
city convention.
The nomination was made with a
great demonstration of enthusiasm and
by unanimous vote. Tammany had its
own way, which initiates the Demo-
cratic control of the city. Of the 1,697
delegates nominated Tammany had
control to all intents and purposes of

has been spoken concerning these two
lines of education, it must be accepted
that they have proven their worthiness
to a place in our curriculum, and it
remains for the parent and the child
to obtain from them the material good
their mastery will assure.

F. C. Cole,
The following is taken from “African
Game Trails,” the first of Theodore
Roosevelt’s African hunting trip ar-
ticles that appears in the October
Scribners’ Magazine:
"The day after we landed we boarded
the train to take what seems to me,
as I think it would to most men fond
of natural history, the most interest-
ing railway journey in the world. It
was Governor Jackson’s special train,
and in addition to his own party and
ours there was only Selous;
traveled with the utmost
through a naturalist’s wonderland,
civilized governments are naw realiz-
ing that it is their duty here and there
to preserve unharmed tracts of wild
nature, with thereon the wild things
the destruction of which rriteans the de-
struction of half the charm of wild
nature. The English government has
made a large game reserve of much of
the region on the way to Nairobi,
stretching far to the south, and one
mile to the north of the track. The
reserve swarms with game; it would be
of little value except as a reserve; and
the attraction it now offers to travel-
ers renders it an asset of real conse-
quence to the whole colony.
“On our train the locomotive was
fitted with a comfortable seat across '
the cow-catcher, and on this, except at
meal-time, I spent most of the hours
of daylight, usually in company with
Selous, and often with Governor Jack-
son, to whom the territory and the
game were alike familiar. The first
afternoon we did not see many wild an-
imals, but birds abounded, and the
scenery was both beautiful and inter-
esting. A black-and-white hornbill,
feeding on the track, rose so late that
we nearly caught it with our hands;
guinea-fowl and francolin, and occa-
sionally bustard, rose near by; brilliant
rollers, sunbirds, bee-eaters and weav-
er-birds flew beside us, or sat unmoved
among the trees as the train passed.
In the dusk we nearly ran over a
hyena; a year or two previously tire
train actually did run over a lioness
one night, and the conductor brought
in her head in triumph. In fact, there
have been continually mishaps such
as could only happen to a railroad in
the Pleistocene!
“Next morning we were in the game
country, and as we sat on the seat over
the cow-catcher It was literally like
passing-through a vast zoological gar-
den. Indeed no such railway journey
can be taken on any other line in any.
other land. At one time we passed a
herd of a dozen or so of great giraffes,
cows and calves, cantering along
through the open woods a couple of
hundred yards to the right of the train.
Again, still closer, four waterbuck
cows, their big ears thrown forward,
stared at us without moving until wa
had passed. Hantbeests were every-
where; one herd was on the track, and
when the engine whistled they bucked
and sprang with ungainly agility and
galloped clear of the danger. A long-
tailed straw-colored monkey ran from
one tree to another. Huge black os-
triches appeared from time' to time. '
Once a troop of impalla, close by tha
track, took fright; and as the beauti-
ful creatures fled we saw now one and
now another bound clear over the high
bushes. A herd of zebra clattered
across a cutting of the line not a hun-
dred yards ahead of the train; the
whistle hurried their progress, but only
for a moment, and as we passed they
were already turning round to gaze.
The wild creatures were in their sanc-
tuary, and they knew it. Some of the
settlers have at times grumbled at this
game reserve being kept of such size;
but surely it is one of the most valua-
ble possessions the country could have,
The lack of water in parts, the preva-
lence in othpr parts of diseases harm-
. ful to hot heivilized man and domestic
cattle, render this great tract of coun-
try the home of all homes for the wild
creatures of the waste. The protection
given these wild creatures is genuine,
not nominal; they are preserved, not
for the pleasure of the few, but for the
good of all who choose to see this
■strange and attractive spectacle; and
from this nursery and breeding-ground
the overflow keeps up the stock or
game in the adjacent land to the bene-
fit of the settler to whom the gams
gives fresh meat, and to the benefit of
the whole country because of the at-
traction it funishes to all who desire
to visit a veritable happy hunting
ground.”

The Attractive Title.
Charles M. Schwab, at a dinner in
New York, denied the claim of London
Truth that in the marriage market
American men were at a discount, says
the Washington Star.
"It is true,” said Mr. Schwab, “that
a good many of our heiresses marry
foreigners, but they don’t marry them
as men; they marry them as titles.
“Once, in Monte Carlo, a lady said
to me: :
“ ‘It’s a pity that Sallle Bangs, the
Oshkosh heiress, doesn’t find out the
true character of that wicked Prince
Champignon she’s gone and got en-
gaged to. Sallie used to read a man
like a book.”
“ ‘Maybe,’ said I, ‘she’s satisfied in
this case to read only the title.’ ”
On the afternoon of Monday, Oct. 18,
in Houston the general convention of
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy will begin the work of the an-
nual session with a number of
These will be held
in the Rice hotel, which has been des-
ignated as the headquarters of the
ganization.
Among the important committee
meetings to be held just prior to the
opening of the general convention will
be that of the Shiloh Monument asso-
ciation, which convenes at 4 p. m. with
Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, president
general, in the chair. At 8 p. m. of the
same day Mrs. Stone will hold a meet-
ing of the executive board to go over
matters that will come before the con-
vention.
The convention proper will begin its
deliberations on Tuesday morning, Oct.
19, at Beech’s auditorium, and sessions
will be held daily until Saturday, the
23d, when the convention adjourns.
Wednesday, the 20th, has been set
apart as historical evening, on which
occasion Mrs. J. Enders Robinson of
Richmond, Va„ will preside. This lady
is the historian general of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and it
is expected that the program covering
this particular evening will be made
especially attractive.
On Tuesday afternoon at 3.30 o’clock
will be held the unveiling exercises of
the boulder to the memory of Terry’s
Texas Rangers. The ceremonies will
be in the hands of the E. R. Bates
auxiliary to Oran M. Roberts chapter
and the program will be most appro-
priate and impressive. The monument
is located in Sam Houston park and
the exercises will be held there.
The selection and arrangement of the
Tnusic for the convention has been
placed in charge of Mrs. Willie Hutch-
eson and the efforts of this lady are
sufficiently complete to indicate a
splendid selection of music for the
gathering. It is hoped to include one
or more original compositions in the
list.
Mrs. Wharton Bates and Mrs. Sea-
brook Sydnor have the providing of
badges in charge and have already
placed an order covering the quantity
required. Mrs. J. W. Neal, chairman
of the homes committee, is very busy
looking after her special work. Mrs.
Neal and her corps of assistants have
labored faithfully to provide comfort-
able and convenient quarters for the
delegates and feel very much encour-
aged over the outlook at this time.
The program is nearly ready to be
given the printers. Mrs. Sidney Hunton,
chairman pf the printing committee,
has made arrangements to have the
work done in Houston and promises
that the booklet will be ready in ample
time.
The transportation committee, of
which Mrs. D. J. Price of Palestine is
chairman, has sent out a circular to
all chapters advising that the railroads
of the United States have agreed to
grant rates for the national convention
at Houston on the convention basis of
one and one-fifth fares, except from
nearby points, where the fare will be
one and one-third fare for the round
trip.
Everjr indication at this time points
to a convention that will prove a rec-
ord-breaker as to numbers, and of deep
interest as well.
After the cartoonist has made sport
of the occasion and the jokemaster has
written his funny story, there still re-
mains much in connection with the
opening day of school over which to
ponder. As in the construction of an
edifice which is expected to withstand
the vicissitudes of weather and the
buffeting of storms, one must look well
to the foundation, so in the formation
of a character in which fond hopes are
planted, the beginning counts so tre-
mendously that the school life of the
child becomes a most crucial period,
for upon it hangs much of the weal or
woe of the future. While the opening
of a new school term is popularly sup-
posed to be of concern to the child
alone, it is vastly more colicitude to the
.parent, and when that time does come
where the parent fully realizes the
significance of the school as relates to
the future life of his offspring, then
will mature the consummation of the
intense desire of the educator when
school and home shall be no longer
separated by diversity of interests or
opinions and both shall unite effort in
behalf af the future citizen.
Of a truth our educational system
still lacks somewhat of being a per-
fect scheme, even our most arden pub-
lic school advocate will freely con-
fess as much, but imperfect as it has
been and as lacking as it may still be,
there have come up through its influ-
ences men who have occupier places of
honor in the nation and every walk of
life today is filled with men and wom-
en whose equipment was the gift of a
nation that believed in enlightenment
and has prospered upon making it ac-
cessible to her children. The millions
of money annually invested in educat-
ing the young of the nation comes
back cent per cent in a patriotic citi-
zenship, enlightened and discerning, a
citizenship capable of guiding the des-
tiny of a republic the foundation of
which rests upon the wisdom of a free
people.
To ob^in best results the child
should be equipped for the task. The
acquisition of a fund of useful learning
does not consist in merely mastering
' the contents of a text book; along with
designated studies must be taught the
patience that overcomes, the earnest-
ness that wins, the truth that con-
vinces, the forbearance that conquers.
Here rests the duty of parental co-op-
eration if the child is to be equipped
for a future that»portends success. The
opening of school is a new experience
whether the child has passed into the
higher grades or is taking the first step
in an unexplored region. Guide books
are helpful in their way, but the ex-
perience of those who have traveled
the road long before will smooth num-
berless rough places and save many
a harsh contact with unseen obstacles.
Advise the child, be interested in the
' trivial affairs that make up th© ex-
perience of the little one, but remem-
ber that the greatest aid that can be
lent the child is to show him or her
how to work out alone the tasks to be
mastered.
Manual training and domestic science
are to be taught in Galveston public
schools for the first time this year. Our
slowness in engrafting these two
branches upon the existing system has

Something Dreadful.
A correspondent sends to a
contemporary an amusing contest of
wit which he recently heard in a rail-
way carriage on a journey between
Campeigne and Roye. There were sev-
eral passengers. One believed himself
to possess a fund of humor which he
intended to expend on a priest who
got in at one of the intermediate sta-

‘‘No. my friend, I have not,” was the
“I have been out all day and
have not had time to glance at the
papers.” Then said the traveler: “It is
something dreadful; the devil is dead.”

he added:

In the mayoralty fight Justice Gay-
nor’s chief opponent will be Otto T.
Bannard, president cf the' New York
Trust Company, who was nominated by
the Republicans a few days ago, and
who has some assurance of support
from the fusionists. There yet re-
mains N the possibility that the Inde-
pendence League will make the contest
a triangular one by naming a separate
ticket.
The platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic convention dwelt largely with
state, national and municipal problems,
denouncing the recent tariff legisla-
tion and resenting any interferece i
local affairs by the state legislature.
"We believe,” the plaform begins,
“that the general government should
exercise only the power granted it by
the federal constitution, and the lar-
gest measure of self-government pos-
sible should be given to all the diffrent
localities of the state to the end that
home rule should everywhere prevail
and that individual liberty within the
law be enjoyed to the largest possible
measure by all citizens.
“We believe unnecessary taxation is
unjust, and we arraign the Republican
party and President Taft for their fail-
ure to keep their explicit promise made
to the country that the tariff would
be revised downward.
“We call upon our representatives in
the legislature of the state to vote in
favor of the constitutional amendment
authorizing an income tax.”
Regarding city affairs, the platform
advocates among other things, munici-
pal ownership and the building of ad-
ditional subways by the city.
There was no mention or ■even indi-
rect reference in the platform to the
retiring administration of Mayor Mc-
Clellan, who led the party to victory
four years ago. This rather astonish-
ing omission called forth considerable
comment from the delegates.
Outside of the mayoralty fight, the
chief interest in the campaign will
center in the contest for district at-
torney, the nomination to take place at
a separate convention later. District
Attorney Jerome’s attack on Justice
Gaynor early in the week makes it
unlikely that his candidacy for re-elec-
tion will receive Democratic indorse-
ment. Mr. Jerome’s attac kreceived
scornful, but brief, mention from
eral of the speakers last night.
Justice Gaynor, the mayoralty can-
didate, is a native of Oneida county,
New York, and is 58 years of age. He
became national known nearly a score
of years ago for his work in breaking
up rings within the Democratic party
and for his action in securing the con-
viction of John Y. McKane, known as
the “czar of Coney Island,” for election
irauds.
In national politics a consistent and
lifelong Democrat, Justice Gaynor was
nominated for the Supreme Court by
the Republicans and Independents of
New York, and since that time has
twice declined nominations for govern-
or, offered to him by his own party.
He was prominently mentioned for the
second place on the national Demo-
cratic ticket at the Denver convention
last year.

An old physician of the last genera-

and old-fashioned methods. One time
a lady called him into treat her baby,
who was silghtly ailing. The doctor
prescribed castor oil.
“But, doctor,” protested the young
mother, “castor oil is such an old-
fashioned remedy.”
“Madame,” replied the doctor, “babies
are old-fashioned things.”
