TEACHERS IN INDIAN SCHOOLS
Civil Service Commission Has Diffi
culty In Supplying Demand.
The civil Kervlce commission nt
Washington is having great difficulty
In meeting the demand for teachers
n the Indian service. While female

expected that from those who pass
this examination the appointments
for next year will be made.

WHAT UrEU UUlUSCID
teaMy Brought About Discovery of
the North Pole, Said Governor
Fcrnand.
American ennnrd goods, brought to
perfection of recent yours, really
brought about the discovery of the
North Pole, according to Governor B.
M. Fernand of Maine, himself a can-
nor, who preceded Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley In sddressing the final meeting
of the National Canners' association
at Atlantic City, N. J.
"Commander Robert E. Peary, a
Maine man, told me himself that the
ability to secure nutritious food pack
ed by American canneries for his
northward trip really enabled himself
nnd his companions to roach a point
where he made his successful dash
for the pole."
Itcclarin? that members of the Na-
tloml Canning association have dene
"grert service to "v. nations and hu
manity by their stand In favor of
pure food products and their Insist
ence on furnishing nothing but the
host vegetables and fruits from their
factories," Dr Wiley requested the
canners to assist him and his depart
ment In still further movements to
wards pure foods. He dwelt particu
larly on the need of securing the beBt
containers.
HOW LINCOLN FREED A MAN
Famous Trial Recalled by Death of
One of the Jurors.
Milton IjPgan, Sr., foreman and sole
survivor l tho famous Armstrong
murder Jurv In which Abraham Lin
coln used an almanac with a moon
light sketch to free a mfhk charged
wiih murder at Peardstown, 111., died
at Boone. la., Friday, aged 99.
The trial In which Abraham Lin
coln resorted to the use of an almanac
to free his client was that of William
Buff Armstrong. negro accused of
the nuirdi'r' of James Metzker. Lin
coln was a staunch believer in the in
nocence of the accused and wrote n
letter to the man's mother In which
he expressed that opinion. In thin
letter he offered his legal services
gratis In return for kindnesses shown
when in hdverse circumstances.
In response to Lincoln's question
ing the accusing witness declared that
the fatal thrust was made between
9 and 10 o'clock In the evening. The
witness also declared he was positive
of the m:;n who did the deed because
his vision was clear owing to the
biivht moonll.:ht. In reviewing the
testimony he called attention to the
discrepancies In the statement of the
witness which fce showed to be Incon
sistent. "And he estitled," Lincoln ex
claimed, "that the moon was shining
brightly when the deed was perpetrat
ed, when the moon did not appear on
that night, as your honor's almanac
will show, until nn hour or more la
ter, and consequently the whole story
Is a fabrication."

'EARY MEETS MEYER
First Time He Saw Secretary ol
Navy Since Return From Fole,
Mr. Meyer Said Navy Department
Could Take No Official Cognizance
of the Expedition Proposed by the
Peary Arctic Club and the National
Geographic Society Will Ask Con
Ores to Finance an Expedition to
Rediscover Wilkea Land.
Washington, Fob. 15. Robert E.
Peary, the Arcclc explorer, had a con
ference with Secretary of the Navy
Meyer. It was the tlrst time Mr.
Penry had met his superior officer
since he returned from his polar trip.
They discussed the plans which arc
being prepared for two Antarctic ex
peditious. Secretary .Meyer inform
ed Mr. Peary that the navy depart
ment could take no official cognizance
of the expedition proposed under the
Joint auspices of the Peary Arctic
club and the National Geographic so
ciety. Mr. Meyer said he was considering
the advisability, however, of asking
congress to make an adequate appro
priation to cover the expenses of an
expedition to rediscover Wilkes land,
discovered in 1S40 by Lieutenant
Thomas Wiikes. an American naval
officer, and named in his honor, a dii
covfry on which pubsequent explorers
In those. regions have cast doubt.
If the expedition is carried out,
tidal, magnetic niid meteorogical ol
servatious will also be made in that
region.
To Make Addresses In Europe.
Mr. Peary will remain here If hU
standing is accorded by congress to
him as a rear admiral. Since July,
1908, he has been on special duty un
der the coast snd geodetic survey. Ha
will leave Washington for Europ?
whero he will make addresses belore
several scientific societies.
If congress fulls to enact a law plac
ing Mr. P-ary on the retired list as
a civil eng'neer with the rank of rear
admiral it Is probable that he will re
sume active duty in the civil engineer
corps of the navy on July 1 next.
An effort will be made to settle the
Peary row in congress when the house
committee on naval affairs meets to
decide whether or not the action of
the sub-committee reporting adverse
ly on bills Introduced to elevate and
retire Civil Engineer Peary with the
rank of rear admiral will he sus
tained. Meanwhile there are pouring In on
Representative Roberts (Muss.) and
other members of the house many let
ters, some of them endorsing the ac
tion of the sub-cominlttee and others
condemning It. The warmest thing in
the way of a communication that has
been received by Representative Rob
erts up to date is from Captain B. S.
Osbon of 123 East 23rd street. New
York, who thinks the sub-committee
did just what It .should have done.
One of the paragraphs In this letter
reads:
Thinks Sub-Committee Is Right.
"To give this (Peary) egoist the
rank of rear admiral would have been
a blot on the records of congress and
an Insult to the navy of the United
States and would have disgusted mil
lions of our citizens who have no care
In this alleged 'pole hunter' and Arctic
fur trader and story leller, who for
neaily a quarter of a century has been
living off the people and sailing under
a naval rank to which he had no legal
right and for which he should have
been severely reprimanded by the
navy depaitment long ago."
Captain Osbon was himself once
an explorer. Another letter to Rep
resentative Roberts Is from an offi
cer of the Maine naval reserve who
lives In Portland. He says among
other things: "Incidentally if Mr. Peary
must be shown some unprecedented
and ridiculous honor, why not make
hitn king of the Sandwich islands
with a life tenure and a privilege to
practice his Insufferable set-axalta-tion
on the natives. They might en
sure It with more grace than the aver
age American."
There are many other letters tak
ing an opposite view. One from Bos
ton says: "Your amazing statement
about Lieutenant Peary seems incom
prehensible. Do you regard the navy
only for target practice, as Dewey u
Manila .wllh men as targets? Nations
are wailing upon the Vnlted States by
courtesy before showering honors on
Peary, llershel whs knighted for
finding Uranus, one thousand million
yIIpr further away than the North
fole. and one thousand million times
more useless by your count,
"Peary has been the greatest naval
pian In the United States since 1777.
A siHt'ch like yours may Bound well
In the skuptchlna In Belgrade but la
utterly obsolete in 1910."

Kaiser to Sell Palace at Corfu.
Paris, Feb. 15. A dispatch from

the coct of maintenance is too great

else could I do? Well, I have got
thorn all shaking now. Here is some
thing that will clinch my siory," said
he lapping his pocket, and then taking
a check book out.
"Here is the original check book
with the stubs that show what each

tho book. The stub indicated read:
"New York draft, $6,000; cash $500.

memorandum, "Albany matter" with
the endorsement "bridge company,"
md the total iG.COJ marked under
neath. The date of the stub waft
pril 22, 1M01. I consider that the
best find of the week, for It is going
to clear up a great many points,"
said the senator aa he tucked It away.
"1 also found," he continued, "the
Syracuse paying teller of the bank
where .Mr. Moe got the cash. The
man remembers the matter very dis
tinctly and will Identify Ml. Moe. I
can't give you his name, but I have
him subpoenaed and he will be In Al

also corroborates Mot's story. The
clerk will go to Albany tonight with
the register ar,1 will prove that Mr.
Moe and I were in Auburn on the
night of April 23, 1001, on our way
back from Albany."
When someone suggested that the
senator might miss his Syracuse train
he said. "Never mind, boys, we are
not due at Albany until 11 o'clock to
morrow morning and I will be there to
keep them shaking."
SEARCH FOR
MISSING NINA
Naval Tug Believed to Have Been
Lost OK the Coast of Virginia.
Washington, Feb. 15. The search
for the naval tug Nina, which has not
been heard from since she left the
Norfolk npvyyard for Boston on. Sun
day morning, Feb. 6, was continued
without success by half a dozen or
more naval vessels and revenue cut
ters. Hope of Hnding her Is waning among
naval officers but the search will not
be abandoned for several days,
From reports received at the navy
department It is believed that the
Nina foundered In the vicinity of Hog
island, which Is on the Virginia coast,
a short distance north of the mouth
of Chesapeake bay. Tills belief Is
based on a report received from Lieu
tenant Commander John R. Edia, re
cruiting officer at Baltimore, who ad
vised the department that the steam
er Howard of the Merchants and
Miners' Transportation company sight
ed the Nina nine miles southeast of
Hog Island at 11:55 o'clock ae. ra.
about five hours after the Nina left
Hampton Roads.
Second Officer Harold H. Treakle of
the steamer Howard, who saw the
Nina, said she was making very heavy
weather and trying to head to the
northward. The wind was blowing
a gale from the northwest and in
creasing In velocity. The sea and
spray, lie added, wera breaking over
the Nina's pilot house,
A? soon pi Ihe Information was re
ceived from l ieutenant Commander
Kdla that the Nina was lust seen In
the vicinity of ling Island Instructions
ftero sent by wlrolesa to the battle
ship IOiilsiana and the cruiser Salem
which are cruising off the month of
the CheFipeako bay, directing them
to concentrate their search for the
Nina In the vicinity of Hog island.

FEARED TO BUT IN ON SUICIDE
Wrong Idea of Law Helps Cleveland
Man In Grim Purpose.
Cleveland, Feb. to. A misconcep

Otto Pich, gavo John Zahour. his fa-therf-in-law,
ten minutes extra In
which to die.
Pich found the old man hanging In
the pantry of his home at 380 Croton
avenue, and keeping himself away
from the wall by pushing on a shelf.
He was still alive and active. Pich
had heard that, it was illegal for any
one but a coroner to touch a hanging
man, and he left at once In search of
somebody who could summon that
official. Meeting a policeman, he ex
plained the case to him.
The officer made a quick run to the
Zahour home, and succeeded In cutting
the father-in-law down before life was
extinct. Zahouh died In an ambu
lance, however, on the way to a hos

Professor Okakura Remind Us That
Spiritual Treatment For Bodily
Ills Is Not New.
Boston, Feb. 15. Christian Science
Is not so new as the followers of Mrs.
Mark Baker G. Eddy believe, accord
ing to Professor Yoshisaburo Okakura
of St. Paul's college, Tsukljl, Japan,
who declared !n a lecture that It began
in his land In the eighth century.
He said that much more good would
be done by foreign educators In Japan
If they would seek to approach the
natives through their own religious be
liefs. "Wo have In our belief," said Pro
fessor Okakura, "many counterparts
of Catholicism, Pi'otestantlsm and
even Christian Science. In fact dur
ing the eighth century the people be
gan to believe that all evil was due
to the warring elements and tried to
cure physical disease by purely spirit
ual means Thus we may say that
Christian Science had its beginnings
in Japan."
