TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.

Largest Attendance Ever Recorded inFranklin County and Most Success-

ful Sessions.

The Teachers' Institute held a t Ma-lone last week was the largest everheld in Franklin county, there being aregistration o£ three hundred and sev-enty-nine. I t seems to be the generalopinion among teachers that most ofthe sessions were of unusual interestand value. Curates A. Shaver of F*re-donoia, is one of the most successful in-stitute conductors in the state, and theeachers of Fi-anklin county were very

much pleased to have Mr. Shaver atthe head of the institute. It was thefirst time that Pranklin county had theprivilege of hearing Dr. Sumacher andMr. Biodgett, of Oneonta Normal.

Dr. Sumacher's address at the generalsession Wednesday morning was one ofthe finest piece* of ar t from the stand-point of literature, ever given in aninstitute here. Has command of English,tiis rapid survev of Literature and hisBxtremely well-modulated voice held Jusaudience to the highest tension. Itwas a delight* to follow Dr. Sumacherfrom session to session, so inspiring

ere his talks. Mr. Blodgett treatedthe subject of .Psychology under cliff erenheads in a very entertaining manner.His flashes of wit and sound sensekept everyone ftseiing weil.

Supt. Sh«ar, of Kingston, and D>'- Al-bro, QtA- I<Yedonia, gave many helpfulHUggemons for high school teacherswhich were thoroughly appreciated.

J , M. Thompson, principal of the Pots-dam Normal, needs no introduction toF*rankliB county teachers, as he wasconductdr here for two years and washeartily welcomed. Mr. Tohmps<>n hasthe unusual gift of making exception-ally entertaining the common-placethings of life and as he talk-ed on the "Heroes"' of the coun-try school, many a teacher in his au-dience was carried back to the scenesof early childhood. His address wasofie of the kind that sends the teachersback to their schools with a keener ap-preciation of child-life. CommissionersBotsford and Wikox are to be con-gratulated upon this very successful in-stitute.

Billy MeCorry, son of James H.McCprry, of Danaemora, N. Y., nowa member of the McKeeseport, Pa.,team, of the Ohio and Pennsylvaniabaseball league, will wear the uniformof the major league next season, hav-in signed with the St. Louis Ameri-cans. He began pitching profession-ally four years ago.

REPUBLICAN POLITICS.

REACHES NORTH POLE.

Dr. Frederick Cook, of Brooklyn, theSuccessful Discoverer.

America has had added to Its lau-rels another great achievement whichdistinguishes the Young Giant of theWest among the nations of the world.For years it has been the aspiration

that the Stars and Stripes might bethe first to wave over the extremenorthern point of this and all con-tinents. The aspiration has beengratified. After over a year of silenceand the fear that Dr. Frederick A.Cook, the American explorer, had losthis life in the Northern wilds, thewhole civilized world was startledand gratified by the news September1st which came from the ShetlandIsles to Copenhagen that he hadreached the point for which so manyof his predecessors had striived andbraved the rigors of the North andfailed, and was retunring on the ves-sel Hans Egede on its way to Copen-

County Committee Reorganized. Sena-torial Convention Meets Today

(Tuesday) at Ogdensburg.Judge Paddock Will Not

Be • Candidate

With the meeting of the Franklincounty Republican committee for or-ganization Monday the opening ofthe fall campaign may be said to havebegun. Tfais is an oil year in whichthere are no state and national offi-cers to be elected and the campaignis therefore not expected to be anexciting one. The work of the com-mittee will probably not be difficult.There was a most excellent repre-sentation at the committee meeting.Chairman Macdonald thanked themembers for their efficient work andco-operation during the period of hischairmanship and stated that hewould be obliged to relinquish thei»osition for the corning .year. Thesame of Oliver LaPlante, Jr., wasadded to the committee as conimittee-mau-at-large, and the following offi-cers were then chosen:—H. C. Carter,of Malone, chariman; A. H. Proctor,of Malone, secretary; W. C. Leonard,Saranae Lake, treasurer. These, withF S. Steenberge and F. H. Bryant,of Malone, form the new executivecommittee. The committee extend-ed a vote of thanks to retiring Chair-man' Macdonald, to Thomas Adams,who has been the committee's effi-cient chairman for the past twentyyears and to Arthur E. McClary, theretiring secretary, for their able andioyal services, and congratulationswere extended to Mr. McClary on hisrecent marriage.

Mr. Carter is the efficient managerof the American Hide & Leather Co.'splant at Malone; Mr. Proctor is apopular member of the hardware firmox H. D. Thomspon & Co., of Malone,and Mr. Leonard is Saranac's leadingmerchant. They are all energetic,thor-oughgoing young men and will makesplendid committee officers. The^coun-ty organization is in good hands.

SENATORIAL PROSPECTS.The Franklin county delegates to

the senatorial convention departed forOgdensburg Monday evening and at,|a meeting of the delegation after theirarrival there Judge Paddock decidedit his duty to remain as county judgeand not to be a candidate for sena-tor. The delegation after a confer-ence, voted unanimously to standsolid and present the name of H. P.Coats of Saranae Lake as the choiceof Franklin county for senator. Mr.Coats' name will be presented and nodoubt accepted and named as the can-didate for senator. The delegates areH. P. Coats, Alexander Macdonald, A.K. Proctor, H. C. Carter. F. H. Bry-

search of the Pole in July 1907. OnAugust 26th of that year he wrotethat he had a good opportunity to tryfor the Pole and would stay in theNorth for a year. About the sametime he wrote a Brooklyn friend thathe had hit upon a new route andwould stay and try It.

The pole was reached April 21st,1&08, more than a year ago, but thenews has just reached Europe andthis country. Dr. Cook had been giv-en up for dead. He wired the BrusselsObservatory Wednesday night thathe had reached the Pole and discov-ered land far North. In a signed statement appearing in the Paris editionof The Herald the same day, Dr.Cook says: "After a pro-longed fight with famine andfrost, we have at last succeededin reaching the North Pole. A newhighway, with an interesting strip ofanimated nature has been exploredand big game haunts located, whichwill delight sportsmen and extendthe Esquimaux horizon. Land hasbeen discovered on which re^ts theearth's northernmost rocks. A triangleot 30,000 square miles has been cutout of the terrestrial unknown. '

Dr. Cook left the Greenland shoreFeb. 19th, 1908, with eleven Esqui-maux and the same number of heavi-ly laden sledges, drawn by 103 dogs.The expedition pushed westward o\erthe troubled ice of Smith Sound, ttcontinued over the heights of Elles-inere sound to the Pacific slope, andon the heights the temperature sankto minus 83 centigrade.

severely. TJiey s t ^ found the gametrait% along wj$pP%ke way was easy,and Cftey progressed through Nanseitsound to Ltrad's End. The crossingof the eircum-polar pack was begunwith four men and 46 dogs carryingsupplies for 5*0 days, six. of the Es-quimaux returning from Herbert Is-land March ISth. Three days later twomore Esquimaux, forming the la*;tsupporting party, returned, the twobest men and 26 dogs being pickedfor the final effort. After they wereout of sight of Known land new landwas discovered but they did not "haveopportunity to explore the coast. Thiswas in latitude i-i.47, longitude S6.30.Here were seen the last signs of solidearth. They advanced on the movingice and soon found themselves beyondthe range of all life—neither the foot-prints of bear nor the blow-troles ofseals being detected. One dog afteranother was sacrificed to supply thehungry survivors as the journey pro-ceeded. The Pole was finally reachedand everywhere the party turned wassouth. With a single step they couldpass from one side of the earth tothe other and at last the flag float-ed to the breezes at the Pole. Thelatitude was 90; the longitude noth-ing, and the temperature was minus38 centigrade.

Dr. Cook's return trip from thePole to Greenland was extremelydifficult and hazardous on account ofthe advancing Arctic summer and theappearance of breaks in the ice floa.This accounts for the fact that solong a time intervened between thelocating of the Pole and its announce-ment to the world. The little partywere reduced almost to starvationbefore reaching Greenland, and, beingout of ammunition, had to resort 10the bow and arrow, the lance andthe knife to secure game. They man-aged, however, to kill game enoughto sustain life.

Dr. Cook's explorations have notonly placed the Stars and Stripes outhe apex of the world but have pro li-

Fayette W. Lawrence Passed Sudden-ly Away Monday Night.

Seldom has Malone been moreshocked than by the announcementthat Fayette W. Lawrence, long oneof the town's most prominent citizensand business men, had passed awayat about eleven o'clock Monday night»for he had apparently been in his us-ual health when he retired and had.passed much of the day at the storeof the F. W. Lawrence Co., where4 seemed in the best of spirits.Mrs. Lawrence, who had been at LakeTitus, came home at about eighto'clock and, though he had walkedvery little for the past few yearson account of surgical operations,he went out on the piazza to meether. IJater in the evening he sentthe nurse to her room to wait up-ou her. During the absence of theuurse his daughter, Josephine, heardhim coughing peculiarly and hastenedto his side. Doctor Belding was sum-moned and applied the usual heartstimulants, but he sank peacefullyaway as one going to sleep,

Mr. Lawrence had suffered manyyears from diabetes, for which hedieted and as a result of which hehad lost both of hts feet from attacksof gangrene. One of the operationsoccurred in 1904 and the other in,1906 and for some time his lifewas despaired of but he recoveredand interested himself as deeply asever in business affairs, spendingseveral hours at the store daily. Hewas a man of the greatest courageand energy and his courage and en-ergy helped him to overcome obsta-cles which would have overwhelmedmany ordinary men. He was a modelhusband and father, devoted to hishome and family, and as a neighborbe wus always genial, cheerful andkind. Few men in Franklin countyhave been so long and so successfullyengaged in business. He was b<$rnin Bangor and when a young manclerked in King's store in Malone.In 1862, with the late Wells Dickinson,he entered the mercantile business inBangor and the firm enjoyed a verylarge trade. They al>.o conductedstarch factories and dealt in landsand farm produce. Twenty-seven

: years ago Mr. Lawrence came to Ma-! lone and had since been constantly inbusiness here, the firms with which

{he was connected being Lawrence &Hinman, Lawrence & Estes, Lawrence& Greeg, F. W. ^Lawrence & Co. andThe F. W. Lawrence Co., of which hewas president. He was a far-sightedman and his judgment in businesstraasactions was sought by many.

Mr. Lawrence was a citizen of pub-lic spirit and of the highest character.For some years he had been vice-pres-ident of the People's Bank andtook active interest in its affairs. Hewas a loyal member of the Congrega-tional church and a thoroughgoingRepublican. He was also a memberof Northern Constellation Lodge -h\& A. M. He is survived by his Wife,who was formerly Mary L. Sargentand to whom he* was married in1883, and by two daughters, Mrs.Josephine Porter and Mrs, Mabel Lin-coln, to whom the sympathy of manyfriends goes out in tlieir sudden af-fliction. The funeral will be heldfrom the hom^ on Elm street Thurs-day »t 3 P.M., Rev. J. A. Macintoshofficiating.

the farthest North to the terri-tory of the United States by right ofdiscovery. WheLh-er this territory willever be of any value is doubtful, butone authority states that there arevast mines of coal and other orethere which this country will tomeday-be pleased to possess. The Poleitself is not on land but an ice-cap-ped sea. A great welcome is beingprepared for Dr. Cook when he re-turns to America and he will he fetedby European governments on his wayhome.
