LL HATS WALES DROPS CREASE Latest Photograph of Prince Brings Anguish to Society Men. | araent Followers of England’s Male Fashion Pilate Learn That He Has Abandoned Trousers with a Crease, . The fact that the prince of Wales does not crease his trousers, and that jhe has not done so for months, per- haps years, will be an awful shock to fashionable New York. The startling news reached New York the other day. It did not come | over the eable nor by word of mouth, It came in a more reliable form—in that of a photograph of the prince, | lutely creaseless. It is not accidental, either. Inspec- || tion of the photograph shows that the trousers never were creased. The whole thing is deliberate. The prince has stopped sending his trousers to Fall and Winter Goods. Come in and See Them. Johnson, The Taior. Painters and Decorators...

Prof. Frederick Starr, head profes- sor of anthropology at the University of Chicago, has the distinction of re- eciving the silver medal awarded by the Netherlands government. Prof. | Starr has been liberal in his dona- tions to the national scientific and artistic collections of Holland, among his gifts being his own set of valu- able works on the Indian ‘tribes ot Mexico. The medal was received from J. R. Planten, of New York, consul general of the Netherlands, who for- warded it in behalf of Queen Wilhel- mina. The medal is heavy and fs beauti- fully engraved. On the obverse side | are the words: “For distinguished | services, to Prof. Frederick Starr.” The reverse shows the head of Queen | Wilhelmina. The medal is suspended from a ribbon of silk. Prof. Starr has been the recipient of many congratulations from his col- leagues of the faculty. WILL HUNT FOR THE POLE. | William H. Brewer of Yale Will Ac- company the Baldwin | Expedition, CLSSO SFSORPSES THE ste William H. Brewer, chief of the de | partment of agriculture at Yale col- lege, will accompany Evelyn P. Bald- win, of New York, in his search for the north pole. Prof. Brewer will be first assistant to Mr. Baldwin. Wil liam Zeigler, the wealthy Brooklyn merchant, will pay the expenses of the exploration. Mr. Baldwin came to New Haven the other day to confer with Prof. rewer relative to the expedition. Prof. Brewer has had experience in ex- ploration, having had charge of the researches made in Alaska a year ago by E. H._Harriman. Prof. Brewer said, in speaking of the proposed trip, that the idea of professors of leading American univer- sities trying to reach the north pole in an expedition is a unique one and he is confident it will succeed.

Edison Has Device to Utilize Wast- ed Energy in Coal. Apparatus Consists of a Chamber Within a Chamber—By Its Use Nearly All of the Energy Stored in Coal Is Saved. Thomas A. Edison is perfecting a | ! device for utilizing all, or nearly all, of the energy stored in coal. Itis a matter of common knowledge that all but about ten per cent. of this en- ergy is now lost—goes up the chim- ney’ in smoke and gases. The device consists of two chambers, one: inclos- ing the other. Am outer chamber, 36 inches high and 24 inches in diameter, has been used for experiments; the diameter of the inner chamber, in which coal is burned, is two inches less. The heat is applied to the air in the outer chamber from the combus- tion of coal in the inner, and whep heated to a temperature of about 450 degrees its expansive power is more than doubled. Mr. Edison has been experimenting with this new contrivance, both at his mines at ison, N. J., and at his laboratory at West Orange. At Edi- son he has been operating three steam drills with it and at West Orange an engine. The steam Grills have been worked satisfactorily, and the engine ran better than with steam. The size of the apparatus may vary. That for use on a street car need be no more than 15 inches in diameter and easily portable. The invention may be util- ized on the compressed air ears of this city. COVETS GOULD’S YACHT. Venezuela, It Is Reported, May Se- cure the Famous At- alanta. Venezuela and not Colombia may secure Jay Gould’s old steam yacht Atalanta, according to a report per: sistently circulated during the last few days. Colombia negotiated for the vessel last summer and the trans- action was said to be closed, the pur- chase price, according to the contract, being named as $120,000. Before matters came to a head, however, but after half of the pur- chase price had been paid, there was a revolution in Colombia, President Sanclemente being deposed and super- seded by Vice President Marroquin. It, was said that the Colombian gov- ernment intended to use the yacht | to enforce the payment of indemnities by Venezuela, claimed because of aid given to the insurgents by Venezuel- ans. Colombia’s option on the yacht expired about a month ago, and she still lies at the Erie basin, where she was taken to receive her armament when the question of converting her into a cruiser was first mooted. No guns, however, were ever placed on non. THINKS PEARY HAS FAILED. Elvelyn Baldwin Believes Explorer's Dash for the Pole Is Checked, Evelyn Baldwin, who is in charge of the Baldwin-Ziegler expedition that is to start out in 1901 in search of the north pole, stopped in Boston on his way to Nova Scotia. In speaking of the ‘report from Edinburgh that the | Scotch whaler Eclipse had returned to | Dundee with members of the Stein ex- pedition to Ellsmere land, Mr, Bald- win said that if it were true that Lieut. Peary did not get under way from the headquarters at Etah until last Au- gust it would seém to show that again he had been hampered in his efforts to reach Port Conger in time to make a dash for the port early next spring. Mr. Baldwin thinks that Peary will re- main during the coming winter at Port Conger and make the effort in the spring and summer of 1904. “We are left to surmise what has be- from Capt. Sverdrup. I consider, how- ever, that there is no cause to be.over- anxious concerning the safety of either Lieut. Peary, Capt. Sverdrup or the Windward.” BIG ALASKA WIRE READY. Military Telegraph Line Now Com- pleted to International Border, received a dispatch saying that the military telegraph line has been com- pleted from Port Egbert, or Eagle City, Alaska, to the international beundary line near Dawson. The Ca- nadian line extends from the boun- dary to Dawson and from that city southward to Skagaway. ‘There is a gap of about 35 miles in the line from Dawson to Quesnelle and the Canadian company is consid- ering the advisability of covering this line by couriers. during the winter. Tne building of the line had to be abandoned on account of severe weather. As the line reaches Skagaway it is within three days’ sail of the tele- graph office at Victoria, and this brings the troops of the United States at Fort Egbert within telegraphic ‘communication with the war depart- “ment at Washington save the three days’ delay.
