PEARY'S ACHIEVEMENT. The Heart of the American People Literally Bubbles With Patriotic Pride As They Realize That the Flag, in Both Instances, Was the Stars and Stripes. In all the history of exploration and discoverey there has been nothing so iramatic as the announcement by two daring adventurers, within hve days if one another, that each ha3 planted 'ais country's flag at the apex - of the world. And the heart of the American peo ple literally bubbles with patriotic pride as they realize that the flag, in ooth instances, was the stars and stripes. Over in Copenhagen Dr. Cook sat at a sumptuous banquet, literally wreathed in flowers, after the fashion in which the Scandinavians honored their heroes in the old viking days Being a man of practical cast and modest demeanor, he was visibly em barrassed by the ceremony, but he as conforming to the rule of doing n Rome as the Romans do, and sub mitted good-naturedly to the lioniz ing. ic was in the midst of this gala fes tival that the whisper began to run around the banquet board "hat the goal of so many men's ambitions had been achieved the second time by Dr. Cook, when he reached -the north pole, said to the two Esquimaux who accompanied him that they had "found the big nail," which Is the name by which they had always called the last parallel. - Commander Peary wired: "Stars and stripes nailed to north pole.". The general tendency seems to be credit both explorers with having at tained the end they claim to have reached, and in that light it is grati fying to know, from a scientific point of view, that the observations of one will correct those of the other and be of more practical service to the world. Incidentally we have , had an illus tration of the supreme esteem in , which the Associated Press is held; and its ability to distance all compet itors. It was direct to the .Associated Press that Peary wired the first flash been communicated by Associated Press newspapers to the outside world more than half an hour before the news was received by anyone in this country from any other sources what ever. It's a habit which the Associated Press has of being on the job when anything really happens. ' In the meantime p.

AN AMUSING CASE. One in Which Speedy Apprehension of the Thief Followed the Crime! Elijah McGee, an epileptic patient at the Colored State Hospital, 'hear this city," who, as a means of diver sion, is permitted to conduct a . little store adjoining the hospital, grounds,' found on opening his place of busi ness Wednesday morning that during the preceding night unlawful visitors had been around and that, in conse quence, his none . too plentiful stock of goods had been sadly reduced. As was natural, Elijah was pain fully shocked at the discovery and was in a state of perplexity as to the means to be adopted towards recov ering the stolen goods. - Mr. Henry Toler, son of Deputy Sheriff J. A. Toler, and who : has charge of the hospital farm,' was ap pealed to. Mr. Toler is -a close ob server, and at once detected signs of that led to the apprehension of the thief. Spying a few grains of rice near tht; store he searched farther, and, aided by Elijah, found grains of rice along the road leading to the house of Sam Middleton, a negro drayman. Justice Hugh Humphrey was then applied to for a seareh warrant, arm ed with which Sheriff E. A Stevens made a close examination of the Mid dleton premises and found concealed in the house three twelve-pound sacks of flour, a small can of lard and a small sack of rice, all of which Eli jah-readily identified as his property. And in the rice sack the tell-tale hole was found, through which the grains of rice had dropped along the path way taken by the thief and that led to his detection. Middleton was given a hearing be fore Justice Humphrey Wednesday af ternoon, and, in default of a $500 jus tified bond, was committed to jail to await trial at the October term f court.
