One hundred and five years old, bnt In good health. "Old Man" Simon Har ris, as he Is familiarly known on the east side of New Yerk, comes alt the waj from Jerusalem to vote at every prexldcntlnl election, and he was one of the nrst to register the other day In the Twentieth election district of the Second assembly district at 447 Crnnd street. A (horns of congratulations greeted his nppea ranee there, and he shook hands with many friends of long standing. Mr. Harris answered the Inspectors' rjuestlons In a steady tone and re marked that his papers were wearing out and he would have to obtain du plicates because he expects to vote at several more presidential contests. He wrote his mime In u gcsid round hand and then chatted with a group Blsiut the creat chaiiKcs that have come over New York since ho first went there tlfty years ugo and lived on a Utile farm at Mott und llayard streets. He Is living with Mis. Lcvlue nt 242 Division street and will stay thero un til after the election, when ho will re turn to hla home In Jerusalem, whither he went to live ninny years ago. He says he Is a good friend of the Ameri can consul In the ancient city and spends much of his time with him. Mr. Harris was naturalized lu Califor nia and walked from there to New York after the gold excitement of 1S41). CAUSE OF BULGARIA'S BREAK. Turkey's Slight to Her Diplomat, Say Consul General Ozmun.

In view of the condition of affairs lu tie near east tbe Turkish army is a subject of present interest. At the age of twenty-one the Turkish conscript. If taken for the colors, serves for three years In the nlzam, or active army, then for six years In the ihtiat, or re serve of the active army, after which he passes for nine years Into the redif, or reserve army, and. finally, for five years Into the mustafiz, or landsturm. In case of emergency be may be taken to serve in the muatafiz for two years before reaching the age for nlzam service. In Asia, however, mustaflz service Is only for two year. at the end of tbe soldier's redif serv ice. Deducting exemptions and those medically unfit, about 100.000 young Moslems come up for conscription ev ery year, and of this number about 70.000 are taken for the colors, while the balance of 30,000 pass straight away Into tbe second class redif after a few months' drill. German officers have compiled some numerical tables of sfrength which may be taken as a basis for estimates. The number of available fighting men under the present system of service may be given as follows: Nizam troops, 200.000; Ihtiat, 120.000; first class redif. 270,000; second class redif, 300, 000; mustaflz, 00.000; total. 1,100,000. Of these the second class redif men may be Ignored for practical fighting purposes, as only a small proportion are even partially trained. The other men are, or ought to be, fully trained soldiers. The force available for In stant service In Europe Is probably nl.HJUt 150,000 men, which In tbe course of a few weeks could be increased to 875.000 men. STREET CAR DISEASE St. Louis Conductor Report a Pecul iar Malady. A United Railways conductor In St. Louis has a ne,w disease, and he told a reporter the other night that a major ity of the other conductors on the pay-as-you-enter cars are similarly afflict ed. The symptoms are much like those of salivation. "It is caused by that brass handle on the exit door," said 1131. "No passen ger can leave the car by way of the rear platform uutll the couductor has grasped the handle and opened the door. "Nearly all conductors have the hab it of wetting their thumbs with their tongues In handling transfers or paper money. The poison of the brass han dle Is on their bands, arid they thus carry It to their mouths. "You ought to see some of the boys. Their lips are raw.

Intrepid Arctio Explorer, With Few Eskimos, Started on Last 560 Mil Dash In March Plan Was Hastily Formed at the End of a Hunting Trip. Ere this the long sought north pole may have been discovered. Ir. Fred erick A. Cook, the arctic explorer, may be the finder. Anthony Flala believes Dr. Cook Is close to the pole If riot ac tually there. Dr. Cook's wife and two children live In Brooklyn. Tbe last beard of him was March 17 last, when be was on tbe polar Ice north of Cape Thomas nubbard, .VX) miles trum the pole. He was on the eve of making a dash for it, accompanied by a few Eskimos, with dogs, sleds and supplies. Mrs. Cook Is confident her husband will overcome all obstacles and return safe. It will be impossible to bear from him again before next summer. When Dr. Cook started a year ago last spring for a polar hunting trip with John R. Bradley, a wealthy New Yorker, be had no Intention of trying to grab tbe north pole. They went in a 110 ton Gloucester fishing schooner, renamed tbe John It. Bradley, with Dr. Cook in command. When the hunting trip ended in Au gust, 11)07, It waa expected that Dr. Cook would come back on the schoon er, but at Annortok, on the northwest ern coast of Greenland, be decided to remain and make a dash for tbe pole, says the New York Evening World. Itudolpb Franke, a member of the crew, volunteered to stay at Annortok and watch the supplies. lie recently returned to New York with a letter from Dr. Cook, dated March 17, t polar sea, north of Cape Hubbard, i It Dr. Cook said: "I am taking straight course for the pole. I hope' succeed. At any rate, I win make j desperate attempt" Franke, speaking of their expert encea In tbe far north, eald in part: "On the night of Aug. 28, 1907, th John R. Bradley discharged the stores and provisions, also the outfit, at An nortok,. and tbe schooner left us on Aug. 27 at noon, bound for New York. "Early In September our winter quar ters were in first class condition, and we began to lay In a stock of meat for the winter. "We used the whole month for bunt ing. Before the long night set In Dr Cook made a sledge trip to the Fit Humboldt glacier and returned to win ter quarters at the beginning of the long arctic night It was at this time very cold. 30 or 40 degrees below eero. The ice was not always firm, being broken up and then closed together, and traveling was dangerous, especial ly In the morning and at evening. "Dr. Cook was nearly drowned and escaped with his life in an encounter with polar bears. The grease In the guns was so hard that he conld not use them, nnd they put knives on long sticks to defend their lives against the bears. "One time when Dr. Cook was away from camp on a trip I prepared dog focd for the spring campaign. We fouuJ a way t'i prepare tlo. food that will give Dr. Cock an Immense advan tage over nil other explorers. "In the middle of Ncvember our furs were nearly one. Thou came the holidays of Christmas nr.d New Year, but we did not have much time to de vote to them. "Jan. 10 Dr. Cook sent me over to Flagler bay with three Eskimos to hunt for musk ox and to look after the peo ple who we supposed had been left there from a 6hlpwreck, but we found nobody. The thermometer registered 73 below zero. "The last weoks we were together there was a lot to do, and, everything being completed, we started on Feb. 2d for the far north. I remember it waa early noon when we left our quarters nnd camped the first night In three suow houses on the Ice tloo in Kane basin. The next day, after 140 days of darkness, wo again saw the sun and reached Cape Sabine lute In the even lug. Here we were storm bound the nest day. The last day's march brought ut to IJlce Ktrult, ten miles northwest oi ifev(ji- s memorable winter quar ters of 1-W.li The next march brought us in Flagler tui, and Dr. Cook scut me back to Annortok March 3 with the first division after placing provisions nt the head of Flagler bay to guard our winter quarters.
