S BE So Declares President Gigot . of Hospital Board APPLICATIONS FOR MATR0NSHIP MANY Suggest Need for Improvod Method for Bringing in Patients "That, whilst at a meeting of this board It was decided that the punishment meted out to certain' of the .pupil nurses and probationers, resulting in dismissal, for their breach of discipline which followed the suspension of ope of the pupil nurses, was too severe, and thnt consequently'lt wn'fj ordered that all nurses so dismissed be reinstated.. It is nevertheless lhe opinion of this hoard that soine punitive measure, inure In accordance with the nature of the offense, sluuild be applied, '■This board therefore decree's thut. as a disciplinary mcuaurc, the time each nf the nurses concerned will, under ordinary circumstances, have lo serve before becoming entitled to ber diploma, he extended by...... monlhs, and that the acting matron be ln- siruclett to notify each of the nurses conevrned .acci-rdingly." In submitting tbe 'above resolution to the meeting of the hospital board yesterday afternoon, the president, 13. F. Gigol, said he thought .the punishment Inflicted In the dismissal of Hie nurses wits harsher than the offense warranted. Tbe nurses bad certainty offended ayulnst lhe regulations and he thought lhat something should be framed that would mke It quite clear lo the nurses so that Ihey would understand their responsibility. At llie same time he thought the wholesale cxpnlshm was far too stern. ,1. A. Irving—I think it would have been heifer had lhe hoard remained firm. *-.-,. .-. ' W.~1I. Wllson—T think the same. Mr. Irving—Who notified them of their reinstatement? Was It nol left to the matron? Edward Kerr—The matron wasn't in possession of the knowledge we had in the matter. D. a. Kuril*.—The matter was gone into very fully by a representative meeting of the board aad I hardly think It wIhc to pass that resolution with ho few members present Ibis afternoon. Mr. Johnstone—I don't see that we can interfere, ns the matron has lakwn lliem back without qualification. Mr. Qlgot-rThey were only taken batik so that they could regain their standing, and I give notice of motion for the resolution to be submitted at the next meeting. Want Secrecy. Mr. Irving—Are you going to. have It published In tbe press? Mr, Algol—1 think so. Mr. Kurt-*.—I don't think it should be published. The question of precedent was then gone into and It was agreed that the publication of notice of motion was quite permissnble. After the reading of the minutes of the special meeting recently held in connection with the reinstating of the nursing staff, Mr, Gigot said be thought tbo resolution was not clearly defined. Mr. Wilson*—The only question is whether tho resolution as worded Is correct In fact and whether it should remain lb the minutes. Mr. Gigot—It Is not entirely correct. The motion as passed at the meeting has been amplified by tlie inclusion of a verbal statement communicated to the secretary after the meeting. Mr. Wilson—The resolution in effect Is certainly correct and it Is only a question as to whether it. shall be allowed to stand or eliminated from the minutes. Mr. Gigot—I know it makes no material difference. The report was then submitted to the meeting and on the motion of Mr. Kurtz, seconded by Mr. Irving, It was adopted. Compliments Motion. The medical .superintendent Dr. W, O. Hose, In submitting his report made special reference tn the satisfactory manner in which the acting matron was carrying on the work, ln Dr, Hose's opinion she had shown remarkable ability. On tbe motion of Mr. Kurtz, seconded by Mr, Irving, It was agreed lhat the report be received and filed. The acting matron's report which was accepted and filed showed that IU putlenls had been treated during Au- gpst and that the number of days' treatment amounted to 869,"tho average cost per day being $1.90, Several communication's of minor importance in connection with the new Iiospilal wore referred to the building committee. , A question, which led up lo a lengthy discussion, was brought up by Mr, Kurtz who Inquired whether Ml was possible tn hnve some different means of getting patients Into the hospital In the middle of the night. At present U was most dangerous and Inconvenient to carry a nation,! up two flights to the' Hecond story. It 'n-s quired two men to handle the stretcher which at certain ungles on the stair- way had to be raised above their heads and tilted in sucb a way thut it was necessary for the nurses.to assist by* holding the patient nu while the turn was being made. On Monday a womlin was brought Into the hospital and this difficulty wax experienced. Mr, -Johnstone—We might have an entriince nt-the new addition to the hospital. Mr. Kurtz—I suggest that we point a committee to look Into matter Immediately. Mr. Gfjjot—Is the turning the worst objection? Mr. Kurtz—-That'is bad enough; but the clattering and clambering disturbs tbe other patients and it certainly Is not beneficial to the arriving patient. The doctors are not there in the middle of tbe night and serious results might occur. Mr. Johnstone—There's a door way at the back that might be used. To Effect Economies, Mr. Kurtz—I suggest that after this meeting we make Un Inspection of tin building nnd see If an alteration can be made without a very 'heavy expenditure; This suggestion was unanimously a greed to. Another important point raised by Mr. Kurtz was the question of pur chasing supplies.' Mr. Kurtz thought It would be a good idea to have the matron confer, with the visiting committee each month. He thought also that some 'saving1 might be effected If certain, articles'*' were purchased In large quantities If tliere was any like lihood of n reduction in cost, Mr, Johnstone—The drugs are al bought to the orders nf the niedtca men, but for any olher Hems we <er talnly might ask for tenders. Mr. Gigot—ThaL~ls what I have al ways contended. Mr. Kurtz-—Although we have not a residential doctor at present, I think (Continued on' Page Five.)

Clarke, mover of the Canadian Municipalities convention resolution In Windsor on August 28, naid: "I see ln the statement by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy today un attempt to hoodwink the western public as to the real basis of the protest against the melon-cutting. The Canadian Pacific proposes to sell $60,000,000 worth of stock upon which it will pay approximately ten percent, this $60,000,- 000 to constitute n fixed charge against lhe road, which will have' to bc pnld in freight and passenger tariffs. The essence of the resolution Is that with the some $6,000,000 the company might puy interest upon $150,000,000 of bonds, giving lhe farmers of the west the advantage of the additional Investment of $1)0,000,000 for betterments at the same freight rate. Let Sir Thomas answer why this should not be the method of finance. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy would have the people of the west believe that unless the company Is permitted to cut this melon they will be unable to get the necessary money for betterments. This Is nothing short of nn absolute and definite He Sir Thomas himself knows better than nny other man in Canada that the Canadian Pacific has In Its bidden assets alone as much as the aggregate which it is proposed to raiso by means of the slock issue, and he knows that *• bond issue at four percent for the hundred million necessary would be gobbled up inatanter even iu the present slate of the bond market.

Everyone In Canada knows Hint the Canadian Pacific was giver, this land for the purpose of assisting (he compnny In building the rond. When receipts.from land sales are diverted from construction to dividends lhe spirit of the agreement Is violated and lhe company managers are guilty of what is equivalent, morally at least, if not legally to malfeasance. Before Ihey are given lhe right to make any further stock issues Ihey should be compelled to utilize every last dollar of ibeli* land assets for tbe purpose of betterments; and construction.

LONDON, Sept. 10.—Queen Mary has directed the Royal chamberlain to discontinue the time-honored custom of giving marriage dowries to maids of honor. "Victoria, as rjueen in her own right, had eight maids of honor always at her court and whenever a maid became' a bHde, "she" 'received 85,000 out of the royal purse. Cupid had much encouragement under those conditions for though maids of honor are usually either thc daughters or neur relatives of peers, they are not all wealthy. Queen Mary, inasmuch as she is only a queen consort is limited by state etiquette to four maids of honor. They are Miss "Venetla Baring, Miss Katherlne Villnrs, Miss Ursula Lawley and MIsa Mabel Gyc. Each of them on becoming maid of honor attains the title of honorable for the rest of her life. The present queen also has let It be known that there Is to be no raise In the salary of a maid of honor, which is $1,500 a year, almost a quarter of which sum has to be spent for gloves alone. A maid of honor must be a clever and agreeable .talker and a charming accomplished girl on books and music, and like thc Queen able to speak German, French and Itulian, a fine dancer and good at cards and needle work. She must of course, dress extremely well. Sometimes, when In the country, the Queen occupies the afternoon in needlework, at which she Is very expert and the maid of honor in attendance on her either reads or plays, or else helps her in making garments for the poor. When the court Is at Buckingham palace the maids of honor generally go on duty just before lunch time, royal carriage or automobile is sent to the private homes of each maid and tbey lunch at the rural household after which they await the Queen's commands. If they are not needed they go home. Two of them usually attend the queen when she appears in public, nt concert,** garden party, theatre, opera or other functions. All of the maids of honor have to attend the state balls and at Windsor castle, where in the season there is a constant round of banquets, bails, etc., they scarcely ever have an Idle moment. NEW WHARF URGENTLY NEEDED AT AINSWORTH Large Quantity of Freight Arriving— Difficult to Find Space on Wharf. fSpeclal to The Dally News.) AINSWORTH Sept. 10.—This question is being asked by many of late, "Is Ainsworth to get a new wharf?" There seems to be a doubt. If there Is one place on the Kootenay lake that needs a new wharf It is here at Ainsworth. It can easily be said that more tonnage ts being handled at this wharf now than any othor wharf between here and Nelson. Last week there were unloaded here two cars of lurfiber, and one of machinery and one car of flour and feed, besides a daily average of over ta*r tons from the steamer Kokanee. . There was shipped out, two cars of oro and considerable merchandise for distribution. The boat hands find considerable trouble In getting space on the wharf to put their stuff on account of Its bad condition, having ln one place a hole large enough to drop a car through, nnd also it has on It many large rocks serving no other purpose than to keep the wharf from floating away.

Perhaps tho only important municipal racing plirtnt In thc world is tjiat at Doncnster, England, -Which will witness the renewal today df tbe historic St. Lcger stakes, worth $35,000, , the last of thc five great annual classics of tho British turf. Doncaster hojds three race meetings each year, but the one now in progress Is most in-: terestlng and is highly profitable to tho municipality. , Tho -St. Legor distance is one mile, six fur-Iongs and 132 yards, and many horse owners regard a, victory In this stake as a higher honor than captqrJng tbe Epsom Derby on account of lhc longer distance. ThcDoncAster race course, the only.one in.Engluhd municipally owned," is".a -'Source of considerable profit to-Xbo'^Wyt^^t l^-mranaged on strictly ■biisineas lines, arid-Vc^ltdM^n $_■ aver- •age-W $60,000 a-^i^W'of^whlch goes to reducing the rates to the taxpayers. The town moor on which the St. Lcger Is rtth has been the scone of horse racing for over three centuries, and during^he-.whole of that long period the meet'lftgs- have been under the control of the .municipal corporation. The'town is today nnd has been for, .centuries one of the most prosperous in the kingdom, duo in part to tjhe very low rates.and to tho money accumulated by tho.townsmen from thc wealthy-people who attend the races by the thousands. As a result of its racing industry, Doncaster stands unique among English cities in having no borough rates nt all, and its total rates, Including district and county, nre only about one-half pf thc average rates for other English cities. Moreover, Doncaster has in Us municipal treasury a tremendous surplus, said to amount now to over $3,000,000. St'. Legor week at Doncaster always attracts a tremendous crowd, owing in part to tbe annual sale of yearlings, the biggest sale of rnce horses held in England. Some of thc greatest race horses tbo turf, han known have been sold here, and -with buyers from all over the United Kingdom, Canada, tbe United States and Australia, the bidding is spirited, the prices realized for promising animals ranging up to $20,- 000 each. A thousand special trains will be run into Doncaster loday from evory part, of England, and the citizens of the town will doubtless reap a richer harvest'than over before.

A motion was accordingly carried which, rescinded the former,resolution., which / had placed him on thc unfair list. Willing to Join Union. R. G. Clarlc, af tlie Typographical union, who had been appointed chairman of the arbitration board to In- cjuire into the possibility of persuading the men employed by Thompson & Douglas to become members of ibe union, was called upon to submit his report. Mr. Clark explained that after considerable trouble lie had succeeded ,In„gpttlftg. th.e.,,nicn. to come imp the union, providing they could be •iftlmit-' led at the charter fee of $2.60. The chairman asked it thc contractors wero willing to run a union shop. Mr. Ctark answered in the affirmative. Certain members expressed the opinion that it would not be fair to admit them at $2.50 now that the charter was closed and the fee had been raised to $10. It was pointed out that when the organization was first suggested, the nun employed by Thompson & Douglas, emphatically Ignored the Invitation to join and it was unfair to the charter members who had since Joining paid three months' dues. Tho chairman intimated that that was entirely a question for the painters' union to agree upon, and pointed out that the first principle of trade unionism was organization. Mr. Clark explained that ho had u difficult task lu getting thc men tu promise to join and had even paid something out of hls own pocket to Induce thein, and he recommended that the council accept them at . thu charter fee. A resolution to this el- fect was adopted. Olher matters of minor importance were discussed at considerable length. It was moved and seconded that tbo union take steps to nominate a dole- gate to sit on the hospital board, provided of course, his election on that bonrd was practicable. Efforts are being made to raise sufficient funds to provide defense for John Bradshaw, who is detained In custody to answer a charge O'f incendiarism.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 NO FURTHER EXPERIENCE RE- ; QUIRED. Sir Maxie Altken is apparently not satisfied with having practically secured control of thc cement Industry in Canada through bis ability to manipulate watered stock, but he Is now breaking Into the wheat, business and to this end, with associates, has formed a combination embracing 80 grain, elevators on the prairies, which ,\vlll probably be put into a new com* pany at a valuation and in a way that twill provide its financier-politician promoter, with a generous proportion of stock at little or no cost to him, j It would Indeed be surprising were this young man not to pursue thc ■fearjie line of policy In regard to his elevator combination as he did in connection with the Canada Cement merger when he scooped in money by tbe ..millions through the plentiful use of water In connection with the stock issue of the concern, which he organized to take over various established businesses now operating as one, . 'It miy be quite true that this is an age of organization and that tbe tendency of business is In that direction, but, at the same time, there will bc a suspicion In the minds of most Cana- s dians of anything of the kind that Sir Maxie Altken may attempt. One experience, his course In connection with i the cement merger, Is generally regarded as all that the people of Canada require. The public interest, it is true, might not suffer through the combination of Alberta elevator interests which Sir Maxie has brought about, but those who are likely to be affected would perhaps prefer to take no chance in regard to the matter. dian business men should visit the old country under government auspices. Thp'Idea is a good ono and should be taken, up vigorously and pushed to a successful conclusion.

EYES Cataracts True cataracts are opacities In the crystallne lens, which is Just back of the pupil. Anything that is ln front of the colored part of the eye is not a cataract, but Is on or tn the cornea, which forms the clear projection on tho front of the eyeball. The last resort in either case Is operation, but that should never be allowed till other methods have failed. The McComrlck method has been highly successful In many cases, not only avoiding operations and danger, but, by leaving the eye whole and In Its natural state, also avoiding the necessity of extra strong and expensive glasses to take the 'place of the lens which operation removes. If you want to be shown I can refer you to a cataract case that has shown very rapid progress during two weeks treatment. When we get a cataract started we are practically sure the game Is ours.

"Your army saves -me six army corps,*' ■ It is known that tho emperor's main object In attending the maneuvers was to convince himself of the ability of the SWiss urmy'to make the neutrality of the country respected in case bf war and hls remark Is interpreted to .mean that,by the Swiss army forming a screen to prevent the French from Invading Germany through Switzerland the Germans could release six army corps in south Germany for service in Alsace Lorraine or along the Belgian frontier. The emperor in conversation constantly .Insisted upon the necessity of understandings as the means of dissipating suspicion, and declared his personal,desire to maintain peace. On one. occasion in emphasizing this in conversation iwlth President Ferrerer, the emperor.intimated to the president that he acquired much of his inspiration from the Bible. "I tfOTiot care much for priests and clergymen/1' said the emperor. "They dilute the gospel with too much of their own dogma. I hold to the Bible which I constantly read and re-read.

Mr. Kerr enquired what system was adopted in notification of an undertaker ia tho event of death. Mr. Johnstonc-r-In the event of It being a private patient the friends are notified Immediately and they look after.' the whole funeral arrangements. If it was a city patient, notification was sent to the city clerk or, If a provincial patient, tbe government agent took the matter up immediately.

Kurtz enquired if* it was not advisable to appoint a permanent residential medical superintendent.

Two sisters and their throe children were involved In the final tragedy at the handsome nnd substantial house In Eastbourne; a popular: seaside resort, where "Minis'* was written to a strange career of passion and blood. Handsome, dashing, tall, dark nnd with eyes ami moustache resembling those of Lord Kitchener, thc man made thtt acquaintance of James Pater, a well-to-do railway officer living at Loon SOIcnt, In the beginning of 1008. He was invited to the pretty Pater home, where he met the wife of thc railroad man and Ills three daughters, one of whom, fortunately for herself, was already married. Florence and Edlf.li ware the unmarried girls, the former just 20. Edith was a little under 18 years. Both were good look-- Ing, fascinating girls, the elder a blonde', thof-ypungor a slender.brunette. The *' handsome man mnde himself agreea'ble'' to both at tho same time. He wooed ^Florence unknown to hot* youpger .sister, and married her secretly, nccordlng to the Scottish rite. When she was about to give birth to her first ehilil, he spirited her away to a eottas***} in Clupham, where the child, ■chrldtcri'Rd Stanley;■' Murray, was born three yenrs ago. Six months after the bfl'th of this child he married Edith secretly at a church on the far side of London from Claphum. He took ai house for this sister of his other living wife'at Fawe Park road, Putney. Three days of the week he lived with Edith ^ml three days with Florence ; * on the, seyenth he played the bachelor. His absence from both homes was explained to each wife with the reminder, "Bye-bye, darling. I've got to. show up at the barracks, you know." Edith bore him a daughter a year *agb and Florence a second child, Vent, Just 18 months ago, Edith about the time of her sisler'a last confinement discovered her (Florence's) condition, but not the real name of Florence's husband; With her own hands she cut and stitched little clothes for Florence's second child by tho man who had made bor his own wife. Murray, or Mackic, then became enamored of a young girl, lhe daughter of a wealthy1 tea merchant. He made a wh!r,lwitul wooing and was on thu. point of nuirrylhg her when evidently he decided lo clear the way for this new matrimonial .venture by destroy- lug both living wives and their children. He suggested to both a month flt the seaside. .Tho two mothers and little-Stanley wero, delighted. He look rooms for both, families.at Eastbourne. He, also rented a large and handsome villa In a thinly populated outskirt or tlicvrcsort. ,To ,thls house he first brought Kdlth and her year-old baby, slaying tliem In a room papered and painted in blue, * Leaving their bodies Jylng side by side on* the floor he went to the cottage where Florence was staying with her- two children. Ho brought them to thc. loholy house, set far back In Its gardens, surrounded by several .shade trees. Florence and Stanley were charmed With thc louse. That was Saturday- evening. , "Mint! you don't try to enter tho blue room," said Murray. All Sunday tho elder sistor and her children lived in the house where, Edith and her babe were lying dead, tfhat night Murray slow lhe two children of Florence as they lay sleeping In tho nursery. The mother enlered the room to find Murray holding a knife dripping with blood. She screamed, and the murdered turned, seized her, by tho hair and stabbed her several times in the breast nd stomach. She fell to the floor unconscious and seemingly dead. The monster strode to the blue room] to unlock it,, meaning to carry thc other dead bodies there and get rid of ill!'together. 1 Florence revived, arose to hor knees, tfrdwlf-V? to a window and by a strength Which seejns almost Incredible, climbed doSvn" the drain pipe and gave the alarm. Murray, s-^lng that she !had escaped him, bore the bodies of Stanley and little' Vera into the blue room, scattered oil over the floor and fur- pA-jure, .lighted a fire and shot himself thrpugb the brain. "Police and firemen arrived at the same time. The charred bodies of tho Bluebeard and ills victims w.ere recovered after the fire waft extinguished.

"Where Jealousy Leads" Is a wholesome Pathe picture of real life in a small country town, and on the same reel is a short travelog entitled, "Winter Landscapes in Finland." In "Pennsylvania State Police, Troop 'B' '! (Edison), Is a topical film showing n troop of the well known police and tha vastnesB of their work, from patrollnu highways to fighting forest fires.

DEMONSTRATING SWITCH WHICH AVOID8 ACCIDENT "A very large percentage of railroad wrecks on the North American continent are caused by inefficient switching and railway magnates and engineers have spent fortunes in time and money trying to perfect a system which will minimize if not entirely eliminate accidents in the future," said Lee Davies, the mechanical superintendent of the Call Switch company of Vancouver, who are demonstrating the practicability of the Call switch on a model set up in the store next to the Nelson hotel. Throughout the afternoon and evening hundreds of citizens Inspected the switch, which was put to all kinds of tests and worked satisfactorily. It Is a mechanical device controlled by the engineer on the approaching locomotive and is automatically thrown into position and held by the weight of the train until the last brakevan or caboose has passed the point. It has been successfully tested by the Canadian Pacific railway and has already been installed at several points. It Ib so designed that the engineer may apply a lever ln the engine cab and run the train on a siding without stopping.

Ground Grizzlys, (Bv ni'!" News Leased Wire.) SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 10.—VHhaj- mar Steffanson after spending more than four years in Arctic explorations returned to SeaUle yesterday by steamer from Nome, Alaska, and told of his probable discovery of lhe descendants of the Scandinavian colonists of Greenland, who were Inst hoard of In 1412 and who, when trade with Greenland was resumed In the 17th century, had disappeared. Steffanson and his companions, Dr. R, M. Anderson of Forest Clty,(lowa, made a valuable zoological and) ejtho- logical collection which Is now on the steam whaler Belvldere with Dr. Anderson and will arrive In San.. Francis- co the first week In November on the way to the American Museum of Natural History In New York. During more than four years Steffanson and Anderson were only together nine months as they could cover more ground by separating. Steffanson and Anderson went to the Arctic in 1D08 by way of Winnipeg and, Edmonton and down the Mackenzie river to its mouth. They were bound for Coronation gulf, a region marked on tho Canadian maps as uninhabited and which they had been warned to avoid. Steffanson spent the first winter at the mouth of Collville river,' Alaska, the second at Cape Perry, the third on Coronation gulf nnd Victoria Land, the fourth at Cape Perry. On leaving the Arctic, the made a leisurely journey alone, with a dog team from Cape Perry to Point Burrow, 1,000 miles, visiting all the Eskimo settlements along the coast. He left Parry on March 22 and reached Point Barrow on June 13. The expedition made Its headquarters for collecting at Bailey Island, a resort of whaling vessels oast from the Mackenzie river. The feature of the collection, from a popular standpoint, are the skins, skulls and leg bones of 1!) barren ground grizzly bears ready for mounting. Only one barren ground grizzly is in any museum. It is supposed that bears of two species are In the collection, The barren ground grizzly attains a weight of 700 pounds. It lives on thick ropts of a herb. At the uppronch of winter the bear, which has taken on .a four- Inch layer of fat, burrows a hole in the river bank and permits Itself to be covered by snow. Apparently the bear hibernates without loss of energy for In April when It leaves its hole, the fat is still intact. However, in April and May there Is no food nnd the hear grows thin before the herbs are obtainable ln June. White Eskimos. Dr. Anderson found pottery farther east than ever before known and nlso grass baskets. Of the socalled white Eskimos of Coronation gulf, Steffanson said: "They were taller than the Greenland Eskimos, but not -so tall as the Alaska Eskimos. They spoke Eskimo, though I thought I detected some Norse, words aria1 they lived In the typical Eskimo way. I visited 13 groups of these people, who number probably 2,000 and saw 1,000 of them. Ten of these groups of trlbeB had never came In contact with white men nnd had not even a tradition of them. Two tribes had traditions of the Sir John Franklin expedition. An old man in one tribe had seen Richardson In 18*18 and an old man In another tribe hnd seen Colllson in 1843. The thirteenth tribe had been visited by whalers. Barren Barrier. "Between the country of the blonde Eskimos nnd the Mackenzie river Is a barren strip 300 miles wide which Is never crossed by Eskimos. The Eskimos west of the strip have no knowledge of Eskimos to the east. Those to the east, know the Eskimos fn the west but believe thorn to be cannibals. "Musk ox, polar bears and seals are abundant and the blonde Eskimos live well. Many of them have eyes as blue as my own, and very blonde eyebrows are the rule. A great many of tile men have sandy or red beards. They have no tradition of their ancestry. On Victoria Land are :• number of stone houses but^ the blonde Eskimos shun them, saying they were built by spirits who inhabited the country before men came. I was unable to gather statistics of the blue eyes for when the blue eyed persons found I was seeking them, they avoided me, not understanding what I wished. However, I took cephalic measurements of a large number of the males and I found that the facial Index was tho same as that ot the Eskimo-Scandinavian half bloods of Greenlnnd and not typically Eskimo. "I made note of the tribe visited by Colllson In 1853. He wrote thnt it numbered 200 persons. There are now 220 and all are in good health. Only Forty Survive. "On the other hand Dr. Richardson in 1848, found 2,000 Eskimos between the Mackenzie river and Bailey Island. TheBe Eskimos have been In contact with tho whites, and only 40 persons survive, nnd these «ire diseased.' Steffanson ascribes the success of his expedition to the fact that he took no food supply but went into thc country with his rifle. He lived aB the Eskimos and spent much of the time among them. Eskimo women sewed his garments but otherwise he needed no aid from the Eskimos. Explorer Dead. Steffanson believes that Hubert Darrell, an Englishman of good family, Who disappeared while In the Arctic shores east of Mackenzie river, Is dead. "In September, 1809," said he, "Darrell went to a whaling vessel that was wintering at Bailey Island. Darrell was alone and was pulling a sled. ThiB wny of travelling was not so foolhardy as It seems. A man alone In the Arctic is In peril only when he Is overtaken by, accident or sickness. Then he is helpless and must perish. On leaving the whaler Darrell. went southwest to Liverpool .bay, whfcre his enmp was. Eskimos saw him when he went back to his camp, but they' did not seo him when he left again and they do not know In what direction he went. He told the Eskimos he would return the next year to buy furs. This was his purpose In exploring the coast to learn of the trading possibilities. "Darrell may have gone west along the coast or south Up the, Anderson river, toward Fort Good Hope, As It waa known he Intended to go to Daw- New Fall Coats for the PhiliiCsOn In a Comprehensive Va~ OIIIIUI til riety of Choice Styles . .

'By Bally News Leased Wire.) DUNDEE, Sept. 10.—At one of the sectional meetings of the British association today Sir Clement R. Markham, the wejl-known geographer, ex-president of"the Royal Geographical society, gave an address on "Antarctic Discovery."! Sir Clement confined his remarks to the field of inquiry that was sketched out by Sir John Murray In 1393. He did not refer to voyages In the south temperate zone or a little south of lhe Antarctic circle, nor did he discuss "mere dashes" to the south pole. The "true Antarctic expeditions," to use hla own expression, with which his paper was occupied, were those whose main objects are the exploration of the southern continent, those of Captain Scott, Mr. Mawson and Captain Fil- cher. - The condition of knowledge when Sir John Murray read his paper to the association in 1853 was outlined and the result of the first expedition sent out by the Royal society and the Royal Geographical society were discussed, Sir Clement then went on to speak of Captain Scott's expedition, describing the work that remained for Scott and others to do and laying stress on the great advances to physU imi science likely to accrue owing to the fact that Scott will have spent four years In one region.' Scott's Journey to the south pole, said Sir Clement, would result In complete series of observations for magnetic declination of the way and at the pole with a survey by the way anil an accurate observation fixing the position. Captain Scott's system, which "enabled him to make a journey which Is unequalled in recent polar annals,'1 was explained. The probable geographical work to be accomplished by Captain Scott in tho coming , season was discussed. The paper then dwelt upon the work contemplated by Mr. Mawson and Captain Fllchner, concluding with a review of what will remain to bn achieved nfter the return of the expeditions now at work. CANADIAN BUSINESS MEN TO TOUR IN ENGLAND (By Dally News Leased Wlre.> MONTREAL, Sept. 10.—La Presse editorially comments on and commends a schemo of the chamber of commerce to organize a tour of England and France by Canadian business men representing all chambers of commerce throughout the Dominion. "The idea," says La Presse, "Is easy of realization. We are convinced every chamber of commerce throughout Canada will be glad to aid in the perfecting of such a scheme. To a body of business men thus brought together, the government Itself would, we feel sure, be happy to accord the sanction of its authority." Daily News want ads 1 cent a word.
