ASK DETAILS OF SCOTT'S DEATH

Several Entries In Explorer's Diary.
London, Feb. 17. In view of disquiet
ing rumors concerning the Scott nut
urctlc party a general demnnd Is being
made for the fullest Inquiry Into tho
death of Captain Scott nnd his .four
companions. Tho public wants several
entries In the diary of Captain Scott
explained, especially his reference to
the shrinkage of his fuel supply. Tho
refusal of any of tho survivors to throw
any light on this lias caused the de
mand for further light on the subject
Much chagrin is being expressed in
many quarters nt the slow response of
the British public for funds for u me
morial to Captain Scott and his com
panions. Despite the urgent appeals of
the press for subscriptions for the fund,
the public has given only about $4,000.
The failure of a prompt response by
the public In honor of the dead heroes
Is attributed to some extent to the
many different agencies of collection,
some of which overlap.
Commander Evans, now in charge ot
tho party aboard the Terra Nova, Is to
remain in New Zealand to meet Mrs.

"THE TERKIIJLE MEEK."
A one-act play entitled "Tho
Terriblo Meek," by Charles Rann
Kennedy, was the subject of Mrs.
Salo FMedewald's reading in the
High school auditorium Saturday af
ternoon. The usual large attend
ance greeted Mrs. Friedowald at this
reading which proved very Interest
ing to all lovers of good literature
present. Tho book has caused much
comment and criticism owing to the
fact that tho soldiers in the play
are made by Mr. Kennedy, to use a
cockney dialect throughout their
parts, although they are supposed to
be Roman soldiers. There are three
characters in the play the Captain
and a prlvato and Mary, Mother of
Christ. Tho scene of the play Is laid
just following the crucifixion of
Christ and the first three acts are
produced on a darkened stage. This
is to portray the darkness which fol
lowed the crucifixion. In the last
act, however, the stage Is lightened,
showing tho three figures on the
crosses. The Captain is brought to
a partial acknowledgement of the
wrong he has committed. This Is by
tho same author as "The Servant in
the House." Tho next reading will
be on "Marlowe," the author of
which is Josephine 'Preston Peabody.
Fred Chase, ex-county commis
sioner of Wyoming county, is spend
ing several days in Honesdale. Mr.
Chase says that Honesdale is one of
the most beautiful places he ever
visited.
