Thrilling, Fascinating, Verne's Great Novel, “Finding the Pole’' Today The Journal begins publica tion, serially, of Jules Verne's thrill ing and fascinating romance, "Finding the North Pole.” "Finding the North Pole"---Verne « wrote it more than a generation ago. A as a story, a thing of Action. But it A has come true on him. Just as hl* v •Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the ej Sea" came true in the submarine, and | his "Round the World tn 80 Day*" has been shown easy of accomplishment. But none of thia famous and gifted French romancer’* creations ha* been borne out so fully, so much In detail, as his "Finding the North Pole” 35 . years after he wrote It. ► As In the present controversy be- 1 tween Commander Peary and Dr. I Cook, there is a fight in Verne’s story I between two rival explorers for the 1 glory of finding the pole. In the end, as In the present case—well, you’d bet ter read the story in The Journal. JULEB VERNE. The noval describe*—vividly, as only j u i e , Verne can—the hardships and dan gers of polar exploration, and makes Clear to the readers with what bitterness one explorer, who has overcome all hardships o f nature, will regard a rival ex plorer who threatens to snatch from hl m the glory of realising his life desire. There is a surgeon in th* story, th* efficient aide to the chief of the party, just as Dr. Cook was Peary** brave and efficient aide before their friendship was broken. In rapidity of action and tenseness of interest, this old story of the great French romancer, which begin* in today's issue of this newspaper, is not ex celled by anything he himself wrote, and by few stories of adventure written by others. w i wwyr % 11 zrfc ’'' "***X | | l uW#* A Cook I [ ... /WiirrTßSiraijß J 4 \ J \MAgafe yH W*s 'llm l T w I 'J v- i ill \A A * —\ ym .

ACCEPTS SOCIETY’S POLE ARBITRATION WASHINGTON, Oct. |.-Cftmwiandar Peary hag formally notified tit* National Geographic Moiety of his acceptance of "tts offer to examine and pass upon file records of his polar explorations. This no tice coma to Prof. Willis L. .Moore, presi dent of the soclty, in a telegram from Commander Peury tn New York, reading as follows: "Copy of society’s resolution just re ceived. lam not only willing, but desire to submit my records and data to a commission of American scientists that is impartially selected." October 1 the board of managers of the National Geographic society sent to both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook a resolu tion, the last paragrph of which was as follows: "The National Geographic society urgei Commander Peary and Dr. Cook speedily to submit all their observations, note* and data to a competent scientific com mission tn the United States.” So far tiie society has heard nothing from Dr. Cook in answer to this invita ■ dion. save through the public prints. It is presumed, in view of the fact that the American Geographical society and the Museum of American History in New York aiao invited both of the polar ex plorers to submit their records for the consideration of the commission, that Commander Peary has made to them a response similar to that received this morning by the National Geographic so ciety. The regular meeting of the board of directors of the National Geographic so ciety will be held here next Friday, when President Moore will present Commander Peary’s telegram, and some action will be taken looking to the appointment of a special commission.

It will be a matter of interest to a large lumber of people throughout the city and Fulton county tq know that Paul Done hoo, the blind coroner, has taken up the Study of law. in order to further hi* use fulness a* coroner, to-educate the prac tical side of his character and for a fu ture profession, if necessary. Mr. Donehoo is a most remarkable man. and his large circle of friend* feel sure that whatever role be may enter, success will come to him. The fact that he has not been able to see since a small child has in no way been a handicap to him. and possessed of an unusually bright mind, a most remarkable determination, will power and memory, he has already Attained success where many possessed of all the five senses have failed. One never thinks of Paul Donehoo as being blind, as he is able to go to any section of the city at any hour of the day or night without guidance or assist ance, and the campaign he made two years ago for the position of coroner is nothing short of marvelous. Previous to his election, unaccompanied, he visited every home and business house in the city and by his straightforward and affable manner won for himself countless friends, do well has he filled the position of cor oner he will doubtless be re-elected at the next election without opposition. Mr. Donehoo’* wonderful musical talent .* well known to the people of Atlanta, and when Schmann-Helnk visited the city after hearing Mr. Donehoo play, was so impressed with his touch, considered tak- APPEALS 10 IRISH 10 FIGHIFOR LAND O’Conner to Tell United States of Effort House of Lords Is Mak ing to Destroy the Land Bill Now Pending. (By Associated Bre«».) LONDON, Oct. 7.—T. P. O’Cononr, M. P., will sail shortly for the United States at the request of John E. Red mond, the Irish leader, to explain the political situation here to the supporters of the Irish cause in America and to ap peal for funds to carry on the struggle tor home rule. The Nationalists regard the approaching general elections as one of the most crit ical periods in their history, and the full power of their organisation will be util ised in helping the liberals deprive the house of lords of the power of veto, which they claim is the sole remaiinng obstacle to home rule. ' The Nationalist point of view is set forth in an appeal Mr. Redmond is for warding to M. J. Ryan, of Philadelphia. The statement said: CRISIS FOR IRELAND. "A great crisis in the Irish struggle has arisen. The house of lords is engaged at this moment tn destroying the Irish land bill, with its promise of closing the land war es centuries and completing the restoration of all the land of Ireland to her people and the banishing forever of misery and famine from the west of Ireland. General elections are certain within the next two weeks. In these elections the veto of the house of lords will be at stake, and with the veto of the house of lords will disappear the last ob stacle to home rule. "Ireland will have arrayed against her all the forces of landlordism, wealth and privilege. Onee more we appeal to our race to help us fight against these pow erful enemies of our race.” EX-GOV.

"When the verdict of that jury,” said Mr. Black, in referring to Thaw’s ac quittal, "was brought in. Thaw stood in that court a free and innocent man." Asst. Bist. Atty. Robert C.

Oct. 7.-William Randolph Hearst has again become an active factor in New York politics. Once defea.ted for mayor of this city by George B. McClel lan, and later by Charles E. Hughes for governor of the state, he was nominated for mayor last night at a mass neettaff of 4,00 Pof his admirers at Cooper Union.

Last night’s meeting was called, accord ing to its leaders, with a view to showing Mr. Hearst that opinion among his follow ers in the old Independence league wag so strongly In favor of his running again as to override even his positive declare- J tion. The hopes of the leaders ware more than realized—every seat in tha big hall was filled and the name of Mr. J .Hearst was greeted every time it was mentioned with a salvo of cheers. When, after a half doaen "opanißg" speeches, Mr. Hearst was formally ncupi- | nated for mayor, the meeting roaa to its • feet after the approved manner of polit ical conventions, and the demonstration that followed lasted 20 minutes before the chairman's call for order could b« hoard. ATTITUDE NOT GIVEN. fl No indications as to what Mr. Hearst’s attitude would be toward the action of th* i meeting was received before adjournment was taken, but the leaders and speakers expressed confidence that It would be im possible for him to refuse. The platform, as indicated by the speakers, will express distrust of the in tentions of both the Republican and Dem.? ocratic parties, which have already nom inated full local tickets, declaring that a silent alliance exists between lUmmany and the local Republican machine, which would make good government under eith er an impossibility. It will declare in strong terms for municipal ownership at subways, economy of administration and adequate school and transit facilities.

Oct. 7.—Mr. Bridges Smith, formerly city clerk of Macon, and then the mayor for the period between 1898 i and 1907, is to go back as an officer Id the city’s government, as the place of city clerk has bpen slated for him. That * Mr. Smith is a candidate is public prop erty, and it is certain that the new coun cil will elect him to the office provided he does not decide to ‘stay in news paper work, prior to bls election to the office of mayor, Llr. Smith waa city clerk and he was recognized as the best man ever in the oflice. Since leaving the office it has grown to considerable size, but his familiarity d with city affairs and knowledge of all the , lequii-einents of the office fit him for the place.
