Short Rations and Extreme Cold Often Endanger Their Lives. LYTTLETON, N. Z., March 25.—The sledging partles of the British Antaretic ship Discovery, whose experlences were reported by the rellef ship Morning, on the latter's arrival here Wednesday, en- gaged in much hazardous work. The dash southward of Captain Scett of the Dis- covery, as a result of which he reached latitude 82 17 south, was attended by great hardships and extra strain. The softened | snow told quickly on the dogs. which all died. The party had only a month's pro- visions whén they left the southernmost depot and therefore it was impossible to | continue southward without Inviting dis- aster. The return journey was most try- ing. The party were on short rations for five days and their progress was serious- ! away, Crurteous tregtment on the part rigidly enforced.

Many shots were exchanged before the flecing men were finally brought to earth. Latc last night thrce maskéd men en- tered the town of Garretsvllle, twenty-five miles east of Cleveland, scized the night policeman and bound and gagged lim. The officer was then marched ¢o the post an attempt to blow open the safe by che marauders. They finally, .after working some time, gave up the job without sectir- ing anything of value. They then entered the store of D. 1. George, where they se- cured a small sum of money. Later (i stole a horse and buggy and drove to Ra- venna, where ti:ey boarded a Cleveland and Pittsburg freight train for Cleveland. Meantime the authorities had been aroused at both Ravenna and Garreis- ville. Telegrams were sent to Bedford, and when the train arrived there a num- ber of deputy sheriffs and a posse of ¢ zens. were on hand, armed with guns The three burglars jumped train as it drew up to the sta~ They immediately drew their re- volvers and a running fight began. The robbers fired rapidly as they ran toward an open field. while the officers and posse poured in volley after volley upon them, Finally one of the pursued men droppe] to the ground dead. A second was so badly wounded that he left a trail of blood in his footsteps and soon threw up his hands in surrender. The third man escaped. Subsequently the captured robber was taken before United States Marshal Chandlér, where he gave his name as James Bradley, 23 yedrs old, of St. Louis He asserted that he did not know the name of the robber shot to death or of the one who escaped. A speclal from Garretsville states that the robbers after failing to blow open th: postofice safe entered the office of W. D. Cushman, on an upper floor, where the latter was sleeping. Cushman was tightly bound and gagged. after which the robh- bers took $0 and a watch. About $100 in cash was found on the dead robber at Bedford, with a number of fuses, skeleton kevs and burgiar's tools. Both men were well dresged. office, where he was compelled to witness | Red Tape Methods. Here is a story which sheds much light on the exacting nature of the work for which many civil servants draw comfort- able salaries. Three cierks were placed together in a certain room in an office which shall be nameless, and, finding that they had no duster, they wrote a note to the charwoman, #s the custom Is in the service, to ask for one. No reply be- ing recelved and no custer appearing, a | second note was sent, whereupon the charwoman id that she had asked the housekeeper for a duster, but that he had refused to supply one. Upon direct appli- cation to the housekeeper, that dign'tary stated that he was only empowered to ; Isgue dusters to rooms in which four or | more worked. The azgrieved clerks then wrote to their chlef clerk. who replied that the matter was not comprised in the | specific_duties of his office. but promised {to hand the reauest to the secretarv of tbe board, In due course, then, the plaint of real corcern to the state. | The board considered it in great detail. and called a mass of evidence, amongthe witnesses being severa! representatives of the fossfle, who were aghast at such a | root-and-branch reforra.

The sledges at one part of the descent cov- ered 1300 feet in a minute and ten sec- { onds, thelr occupants hanging on by i straps to the backs of the sledge. Lieu- | tenant Armitage fell into a crevasse and { hung ninety feet below the surface. But { for the fact that he was harnessed to the others, he would have fallen 2000 feet.

Somebody at Washington has suggested { that Oklahoma, plus Indlan Teritory, be admitted into th¢ Union as the State of | Jefterson and that New Mexico, plus Ari- | zona, be admitted as the State of Mec- Kinley. We file an immedlate objection —an objection on general principles. The place of Thomas Jefferson Wil- | llam McKinley In history and a the re- { membrance of their country is secure. | Those great men are not in any need of the clumsy compliment..an offense agalnst Pgood taste, which this person at the ng- | tional capital would pay them. If llving ! they would be the first to veto It. Thelr | greatness will not be enhanced an lota | by printing thelr names In .big letters jacross colored spots on the maps. The naming of States after men is all wrong. It Is bad enough that our broad strip of the continent should be so thick sown with Jacksonv Smithtow Jones- burgs, ete. Do we hear anybody at Wash- ington proposing to change the name of Manila to Dewcyville, or of Santiago de Cuba to Reosevelton, or San Juan de Porto Rico to Mlesburgl It was a mis- take to name our far Nofthwestern State after the firet President. State’of Lincoln; we hope there never will | be, though his name (like Washington's and Jefferson's) would lend itself much more readily to such an unnecessary, un- | desirable use than the namé& of McKinley. | “The Btate of McKinley Is bounded so and so. The capital of McKinley, etc.; the principal produets of McKinley. ete. the geological formation of McKinley, etc. Does any American really want to make a contributien to that sort of gec- : graphies, cyclopedias and gazetteers? Connecticut is one of twenty-six States | that have Indian namee. Very good the | Indian names are, though we once heard a red-whiskcred British tourtst in a rafl- | road car express the opinion that West- port is a much more “sensible” name for ra tuwr than Saugatuck. Colorado, Flor- ida, Nevada—these are musical names. Americans of this time have quite for- | gotten the royal vanity, or royal favorit- i=m or courler flattery that gave Virginla, | the’ Carolinas, Georgla, Louislana, their |names. The name of our Empire State has utterly disassoclated itself with the memory of the Duke of York, {h honor of whom 1t was bestowed; the name of Dela- { ware sugests the noble river, but not at |all the amlable, dead-and-gone English ‘ nobleman. { New Hampshire, Vefmont, | Rhode 1Island, New Jersey are weli | enough; Inclan names would have been better. of a name that would have given Horuce the shivers. It conyeys from age to age ! the information that Friend William Penn | was 4 large landed proprietor and that his land was prinecipally woodland. The suggestion of the Washington per- son should be yoted down. Oklahoma is a better name fdr a new State than Jef- ferson, and New Mexico (though not ideal) 1s a much better name for a new Sl‘(e than McKinley.—Hartford Courant. s hiinie oo SOME ECCENTRICITIES OF CHARITY GIVING New and Strange Stories of Some Anonymous Benefactors in London. Two curious instances of doing good by stealth have within the past week oc- curred in London, and there is apparent- ly no doubt that the well-doer has been the same individual in both cases.

The old gentleman, how ever, instead of producing his money be- gan talking politics and ellcited Mr. Dib- din’s views on Mr. Balfour and other pol iticians. It happened that the visitor heartily approved Mr. Dibdin's pringiples, and soon hepulled a bank note from his poc fand put it on the desk. Still he kept up the political conversation without a break, and scon out came another bang note. Mr. Di talked politics as long az he could the oid gentleman put down note after note until a pile worth £2000 lay on the desk. He would not give his name, walked out and was never seen nor heard of 2gain by the soclety.
