‘ ONPEARYS EXPEDITION.

PERFECT RELIANCE WASPLACED m,
PAINE’S cutev commune.

“When I was selected by Lieut.
Peary to accompany him on his trip to
the Arctic regions to try and find a way
to the north pole.” says Mr. James W.
Davidson in The Fourth Estate, ‘it was
partly because of my strong, healthy
constitution, and his belief that I could
endure the fatigue and danger moment
to the trip. I had been associated With
him as his business manager on his lec-
turing tour, and was on terms of the
greatest intimacy with him.

“When the ship Falcon left New
York on her trip northwards It had
among the stores several cases of
Paine’s‘ celery compound. The reputa-
tion of that medicine was well estab-
lished, so that it was the most natural
thing in the world that the members of
the party, and they comprised men
from nearly every walk In life, from
common sailors to men of science,
should desire to use it. .

“The record of our perilous to Camp
Anniversary is too well known to need
repetition. Once in camp, we natur-
ally took an inventory of our posses-
sions, and I was exceedmgly glad to
find Paine’s celery compound. The
medicine chest was open to 1.11’ and we
were free to take from it. what we
thought advisable. I, in company Wlth
several others, selected some 0 t 9
compound, taking a bottle of if, to my
cabin, knowing that it would be handy
when wanted. Nor was I mistaken: 01'
the excessive cold weather soon ha :25
effects, and I began to be troubled in a

 

 

number of ways. In every case when,
ever I felt the slightest indisposition, I
used the compound, and found relief.

One thing noticeable in the Artic
region was that the cold weather made
us all exceedingly nervous. We be-
came irritable and cross. Our nerves
were all unstrung, and naturally 1t
afi'ected our health. I talked the matter
over with some of the others, and made
up my mind that possiby the celery
compound would be beneficial. for . I
knew that it was used for nervous dis-
orders at home. Well, sir, we tried 1t,
and I must say that it helped every one
of us.

When the long night of six months
came on and we were in darkness, we
found that the effects were very de-
pressing. Imagine, if you can, living
for six months in darkness such as
occurs here every night, and you can
readily understand how we were situat-
ed. It is a wonder that some of us did
not go mad. We had not very much to
divert our attention, and the effect was
something like solitary confinement in
a dark cell.

I have used Paine’s celery compgund
for a dozen ills such as a person is liable
to have at any time, and especially in
that desolate country. It has always
helped me, and I should be pleased to
have. more of it should I go north again.

I do not know of any one thing that
I can say more of than Paine’s celery
compound. It certainly is a great
medicine, and I am an advocate of it.”

‘ Ex-Quccn Lil’s Warmest Adherents Declare

In Favor of the Republic.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-——Late press ad-
vices received here from Hawaii state that
Charles B. Wilson. confidential adviser of
the ex-queen; John - Colborn, one of her

toni Rose, ex—att'orney general under the
king, and John Richardson, formerly on
the queen’s stafl,-nll.of them prominent
royalists, have taken part in forming an
annexation club among the native Ha.-
waiians. This is regarded as a. declaration
among the chief royalists that the mon-
archy is dead for all time. Atarecent’
meeting in Honolulu these prominent
royalist-s took part in forming a constitu-
tion and'articles of belief. These state:

“First—We believe that the republican
form of government has come to stay in
these islands.

“Second. ——We believe that every person
should assist the government in carrying
out its policy of political annexation of
these islands to the United States.”

The third article declares that the pres-
ent Dole government secures liberty. se-
curity, free speech and free press, restric-
tion of Asiatic immigration and cable
communication. The constitution restricts
members of the new organization to no.—
tives, or those having Hawaiian blood, or
foreigners who have married Hawaiians.

WHAT SHOOK HER FAITH.

Tempered Bride
Learned Something of Old Soldiers.

She is a. bride, sweet tempered. sympa-
thetic and with a. boundless faith in hu-
man nature. She lives in a pretty little
home in IVest End avenue—no matter
what the number is. Before her mar-
riage—and, indeed. ever since—she has
been active in works of charity and 300d
will, and long ago she made a. resolve
that when she came to have a home of
her own no needy man should be turned
from her door empty handed.

But already she has made a. mental
reservation. She is disposed now to do
her almsgiving through organized chan-
nels of charity, rather than at the front
door or in the streets. And this is how

.her childlike faith was shattered.

The snow had just stopped falling. It
lay 511: inches deep, white and glistening
on the pavement of \Vest End avenue,

‘when a poor, forlorn fellow in tattered

coat and leaky shoes came shuffling
through the drifts and up the steps that
led to the pretty bridal nest. He shook
the feathery flakes from an old slouch
hat, hesitated a, moment, then touched
the electric bell and stood firm and erect,
despite his beggarly raiment, in the atti-
tude of ‘V‘attentionfl

“Excuse me, miss,” he said to the maid

'who opened the door, as he gave her the

military salute, “I’m an old soldier, and
not used to begging, butif you would ask
your mistress if she hasn’t an old pair of
shoes to spare. The snow comes clear
through the soles of these.”

The maid leit him standing there, and
soon returned with a half worn but serv-
iceable pair of shoes, much better than
those he wore. The old soldier took
them gratefully. He hesitated, and
then said, with an air almost Chester-
fieldian:

“Miss, your blue eyes are as kind‘ as
they are pretty, and that makes me hold
to ask if you couldn’t- perhaps find an old
coat a trifler more presentable than these
rags I am wearing.”

The maid was impressed. “He’s awell
spoken man,” she said to her mistress,
as she delivered the second message,
“and I’m thinking he’s seen better
times.”

A serviceable coat was found. The
bride’s good husband only glanced over
his newspaper to see that it wasn’t his
newest cutaway that was to be sacrificed.
He smiled. lie was rather fond of humor
ing the bride's little charitable whims.
The maid delivered the coat and was soon
up stairs again, wearing a. look of unut-
terable surprise.

“And what is it he wants now, Maggie?”
said the mistress.

“\Vell, mu’zun, I never saw the likes of
him for a beggar. He took the coat like
he took the shoes, almost a cryin’, he was
so pleased, and then he kind 0’ choked up
like, and he says to me: ‘Sure, miss, I’d
like to do something for yez to show me
gratitude is genuine, and if yez’ll get me
the coal shovel I’ll do yez a good turn
anyway by a-clearing the snow off your
front pavement} So I got the coal shovel
and gave it to him, and he touched his hat
again.”

“He is no ordinary mendicnnt, surely,”
said the bride. “His desire to give us
some equivalent, even by his own hard
labor, proves him to be a worthy man;
don’t you think so, my dear?” and she
turned toward her more worldly wise
husband for his approval.

But the worldly wise husband only
smiled as he glanced over the top of his
newspaper again and said: “Perhaps so,
my dear; but Maggie had better go down
andjust see that he doesn’t steal the coal
shovel.”

Maggie went. The wind whistled as
she opened the door. The snow still
glistened in the sunshine. It was still
six inches deep on the level, and drifting.
It was still unbroken, save for the broad
footprints of the old soldier headed to-
ward the strect corner. He had gone. So
had the coal shovel.

THE,BOY AS A BAROMETER.

 

He Fortells the Coming of Spring in His
Own \Vay.

The other day a boy in this town stand-
ing upon the heel of one boot for. a cen-
ter described the circumference of acir-
cle with the toe of the other. It was a.
marble ring, and spring’s first and surest
harbinger is here. The migratory birds
may be deCeived. The trees may swell
their buds with a. false joy at the deceit-
ful breath of the south wind. Waters
may laugh merrily at their territory re-
lease from bondage, as the mouse re-
joices when the cruel cat lifts up her
tantalizing claw. The sky and the earth
and the air may seem to read the signs of
spring and be mistaken, but the boy is
nature’s masterpiece. He does not err in
interpreting the sound of nature’s
voice.

\Vhen the season’s change is first sure-

marble ring is more faithful in its prom-

oee NlVlllll BE BUSY

The Cabinet Has Many Important
Questions to Consider.

EUROPEAN IENGROAOHMENTS

A Fear That the Monroe Doctrine May Be
Violated+Venezuelan Complications
Are the Most Important—The
\Vlrereabouts of Our Ships.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—The prospect
of serious complications which threaten
the United States through European en-
croachment on Venezuela and Nicaragua
has assumed a. phase of such danger to the

trine that a special cabinet conference was
held at the White House to consider the
subject. There is no doubt whatever that
these subjects are considered by the presi-
dent and Secretary Gresham as of much
greater import to this country than the
Alliance. incident or the recall of Minister
Thurston and must be handled with un-
usual doiicacy and with the knowledge
that a misstep may plunge the govern-
ment into embarrassing complications
with not one but several of the principal
European nations.

The conference was attended by the
president, Secretary Gresham, Secretary
Carlisle, Attorney General Olncy and Sec-
rctary Lamont. It lasted several hours,
but Mr. Lamont withdrew after a brief
attendance. Mr. Gresham took with him
to the White House the ofiicial copies of
much of the recent correspondence on both
the Venezuelan and the Nicaraguan situa-
tions, and he remained with Mr. Cleve-
land some time after his colleagues had
left. It cannot be learned whether any ad-
ditional information reached the state de-
partment today, but it is said that Mr.
Bayard has failed to arrange the Mosquito
troubles with the British government in 'a.
manner satisfactory to the United States.

The Bluefields Affair.

Great Britain’s ultimatum to Nicara-
gua, demanding an indemnity for the ex-
pulsion of Mr. Hatch, the British consular
agw' r from Bluefields, and the report that
a british warship is on her way to enforce
the demand are the latest known serious
phases of the difficulties growing out of the
Bluefields affair, and as action by this gov-
ernment may involve a new construction.
of the Monroe doctrine it can be seen how
slowly and carefully the president and his
advisers are obliged to feel their way to
prevent any possibility of a. blunder that
might weaken the practical sponsorship
which the United States government holds
over the South American and Central
American republics.

In the Venezuelan affair the United
States government finds itself opposed to
such strong adversaries as Great Britain,
France and Germany, with Belgium as an
incidental factor. The settlement of the
claim of Great Britain to certain Venezue-
lan territory is the main cause for alarm,
and to this is added the prospect that Ger-
many will send warships to collect a. large
amount of money guaranteed German con-
tractors frr the construction of the Gen-
tral Vencz'zielan railroad. France and Bel-
gium have a common ground for action
disturbing to the peace of the little South
American ropublic+namely, the expul-
sion of the French and Belgian ministers
from that country. Both governments
have protested against the expulsion. and
France will send a naval vessel to take
their envoys home.

Wherein tho Danger Lies.

The Monroe doctrine and its ramifica-
tions contain ample authority, it is held,
for the United States to display an active
interest in the threatening attitude of
Great Britain and Germany, and, while
the probable action of France and Belgium
does not seemingly come within the scope
of the doctrine, it is understood to be the
belief of this government that all four of
the powers involved will join issue in‘ op—
position to the United States to secure
their several ends, and such amalgamation
is likely to beget a desire on the part of all
to extend their dominions.

With affairs in an unsettled state both
on the west rind east coast of the Central
American states, the prospects are prom-
ising for q active work on the part of the
‘navnl forces during the next few months.
At present the establishment is better able
to meet demands for warships than it has
been in years. Admiral Meade’s fleet,
which left New York with the object of
performing extensive fleet and drill prac-
tice and evolutions, has been almost con-
stantly engaged in keeping an eye on
events at La Guayra, while the Raleigh
and Montgomergie which were intended to
join him. have n delayed either at Blue-
fields or Colon, on account of further at-
tempts on Great Britain’s part to cause
trouble at Nicaragua by insisting on an
indemnity for expelling the British consul
from the Mosquito strip last July. The
navy department intends retaining the en-
tire fieet in the West Indies and neighbor-
hood until all matters in which this gov-
ernment is interested are settled.

The Mexico-Guatemala. Trouble,

The possibilities of trouble between

‘ Mexico and Gautemala are already being
anticipated by the navy department. which

is preparing to have every naval ship now

at More island placed in readiness for serv-

ice on the west coqst should there be ne-

cessity of a large display in order to insure

adequate protection to American interests,

which, the experience of the department

shows. require constant attention when

any of the republics south of the United

States are at war. Fortunately there are

now a number of ships available on short

notice in view of the decision of the presi-

dent to patrol the Bering sea this season

with revenue cutters, which duty in pre-

vious years has necessitated a heavy draft
upon the naval strength of the Pacific
coast and left the station practically with-
out vessels for' other service. Besides the
crock cruiser Olympia... which goes to Hon-
olulu as the Philadelphia’s relief, there
are the Bennington‘, the coast defense ves-
sel Monterey, thefiAdams, Mohican, Alert
and Ranger. ‘The' Boston is being over—
hauled and is pot‘expected to be in service
again for sevgrol‘ months. The prospect

 

of the Chinese war being shortly terminat-

i ed will lcadto a reduction of the Asiatic
- fleet and thereturn of two, or three vessels

principle laid down in the Monroe doo-..

t6 San Francis'co fin—repairs. These, add—
ed to the squadron now under Admiral-
Beardélee’s command. will give the sta-
tion the largest and finest array of war-
ships it has ever had.

The impression among the ofiicials that
the difierence between Mexico and Gaute-
mala will ultimately lead to war prompts
the navy department to hasten work on
the vessels undergoing repairs at More is—
land, and it. is the intention when the
trouble does start to order a. big fleet south
and station one or two vessels in every
seaport where American interests are like-
ly to be endangered. Threatening wor-

clouds in Peru may also demand the as-
signment of two or three ships at 031130.
The nearest vessel to that country now is
the Newark at Montevideo, flying the
flag of the admiral gammanding the star
tion. Her servicesAre required on the
south Atlantic, and in event of disturb-
ances in Peru some of the vessels now at
, Mare island will be at once sent south.
Most Important Point.

By diplomats and close observers of for-
eign questions it is conceded that the ,
Venezuelan question is of 5 far more se-
rious nature than either the outrage com-
mitted by the Spanish warship upon the
Alliance. or the probabilities of Great
Britain again attempting to make trouble
in Nicaragua. On the administration will
devolve the duty of insisting upon a. stand
fast observance of the Monroe doctrine by
Great Britain, France and the other coun-
tries parties to the boundary line dispute.
It is admitted that if the presidbnt and
Secretary Gresham fail to prevent Eng-
lish encroachment on Venezuela :1 prece-
dent will have been established and the
doctrine violated, which might result in
consequences more farrcaching than the
more aggression on a small part of Veno-
zuelan land.

This week Admiral Meade’s fleet left La
Guayra. for a. few days’ cruise in the neighr
boring waters, proceeding as far as San
Domingo, where the Columbia, with As-
sistant Secretary McAdoo on board, will
join him, when the entire squadron will
return to Venezuela and remain indefinite.
ly. There seems now not to be the slight-
est prospect of a single naval ship being
sent to Cuba, notwithstanding the latest
reported outrage on a small fishing schoon-
er. Among naval ofiicers it is freely con- '
tended that there could be no better pre-
ventive of these attacks on American mer-
chant ships than the presence of one of the
new cruisers around the east end of the is.-
land, where the insurgents are intrcnched,
and where filibustcring expeditions are
being watched for by the Spanish gun-
boats. Admiral Ramsay stated, however,
today that no orders had been given as-
signing a. ship to Cuba, and that none
would be pending the answer from Spain
to the message of Secretary Gresham.

THE ARMENIAN MASSAGRBS.

A Deserter From the Turkish Army Tells
of the Atrocities.

LONDON, March 22.—The correspondent
in Armenia of The Daily News sends to
that paper a story told by a. Turkish sol-
dier who took part in the Sassoun out-
rages, and who has since left the army
and fled across the Russran border. His
story confirms the worst accounts of the
outrages. He tells how the Turks sent the
Kurds to do the rough work of burning
the Armenian villages and murdering the
inhabitants. It was Turks, he adds, who—
out off the fugitives as they were trying to
escape. Describing the outrages in the vil-
loge of Djellyegoozan. the scene of the
“pit massacre,” the Turk says that two
immense trenches were dug, and the sol-
diers were told off into parties to butcher
the inhabitants. For over a week one par-
ty or another was mar ched at nightfall to
the trenches, where the soldiers were or-
dered to bayonet and butcher batches of
unarmed, helpless Armenians. The Turk

vremorsefully admits that he killed seven
persons, but says he would have been
killed himself had he disobeyed the order
of his superior ofiicer. '

In an editorial comment on the forego-
ing dispatch, The Daily News says that
the ordinary calculations of diplomacy can
have no place in the deliberations of the
powers in this crisis of the fate of Arme-
nia.

Spain’s Shot Defended.

LONDON, March 22.—The Post, in an
editorial on the Allianca affair, says: “On
the whole, it seems that Spain was fully
justified in her action. It can hardly be
contended that a suspected breach of neu-
trality by Americans should be left to the
American government to punish. Amer-
