THE GREELEY RELIEF
No Expedition to be sent North this
FaIl-Lieutenant Greeiey's Situation
mot Considered Hopeless.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Secretary's
of War and the Navy have decided it is not
practicable to send another expedition to the
relief of Lieutenant Greeley this year. They
have consulted persons OF Artic experience
who are recognized as the best authorities and
who are near enough to be reached, and have
received letters from some who are more dis
tant The consultations lead to the convic-
tion that little can be accomplished after Octo-
ber goth when there aresbut few hours of day
light in that region, and it is thought doubtful
if any vessel could reach Upernavik before
that date, on account of ice, the rapidly short
ening days and increasing cold. The danger
of wrecking a new relief party in its attempt
to reach this place is estimated to be far great
er than should be incurred for the chance of
rendering any aid to Greeley from Upernavik.
No aid could be given except by sledging, and
this is regarded as totally impractcable, owing
to the short marches and long halts compelled
by darkness He cannot fail to know that the
most earnest effort will be made to relieve
bim next year, and plans will at once be pre-
pared to put on foot an expedition which it Is
said shall meet all the wishes of the most anx-
ious friends of the party. Lieutenant Gree
ley's case is reported as by no means hopeless.
II e has the advantage of daylight in which to
move if he left his station as ordered no later
than September Arriving at Cape Sabine
not far from September 15, perhaps earlier
he will learn of Garlington's disaster and de.
termine on his plans for the winter. Chief
Engineer John Low, U. S. A, has volunteer
ed his services in case an expedition is sent to
the relief of Lieutenant Greeley. Mr.. L. Q.
Caldwell Of Rome, Ga, has also volunteered
to go in the capacity of meteorologist.

THE LAST SALUTE.
An Interesting Reminiscence OF the
Prince of Wales's Visit.

An old Portlander sends the Transcript the
following account of the last salute given by
the Prince of Wales feet in America:
In your issue of August 29th read with
much interest the article referring to salutes
in your harbor mentioning particularly that
to the Prince of Wales, the finale to which
think will. interest you and your readers. 1
saw the whole affair from the hill at Fish
Point. 1t was all very grand, something to re-
collect through a lifetime. When the cere-
monies in the harbor were nearly finished, 1
drove ever to the Cape, to the fine residence
of the late Col. John Goddard, that | might
see the last of the pageant There / found the
Colonel wide awake, and quite excited He
had procured some four or five old guns, with
plenty of powder. With this armament we
all mounted the top of the tower attached to
his house, 30 well known to many besides old
Portlanders. We visitors were not little
alarmed fearing the Colonel intended an at
tack upon the fleet, but he assured us his in-
tentions were peaceable. Well, we all watch
cd anxiously for the fleet. We had not long
to wait, the ships came out of the harbor in
"Indian file" the ship that bore the Prince in
the van. AS she came nearer we grew more
excited, What would happen we soon found
out. When very near, so near that 1t seemed
possible to jump on board, the Colonel with
great rapidity, discharged his five guns.
Would the ship return this well intentioned
but feeble salute? Our expectancy was SO
great that we could with difficulty draw long
breath. 1t seemed an hour at least, but In
about three minutes we saw puff of smoke
and then the sound of one of the big guns
This was all, but it was enough; it was all we
could expect. We we're more than happy; we
were delighted at the success, the Colonel
most of all, but he had no time to made an ex-
hibit. He Immediately loaded up his guns for
the next ship. AS the Princes ship had fired
a gun, the rest followed suit, Of course. We
watched the ships as far as we could see tn EN-
on the broad Atlantic. II there was happy
man at that moment, it was Col. John God

Some Curious Old Wood Engravings
Shown at the British Museum.



There is now shown in this exhibition
very curious wood engraving of dream said
to have been dreamt by the Elector of Sax
ony, Frederick I'LL, called "The Wise,"
at Schweinitz, in 1917, the night before Mar
tin Luther affixed his theses against indul-
gences to the door of the church at Witten-
berg. Luther is represented as writing ON
the door with pen of great length, which,
passing through the head of lion, emblem
atical of the Church of Rome, knocks off the
tiara from the head of Pope Leo Y. From
this pen smaller ones are being drawn by
other Reformers, and on the right two men
are seen drawing feathers from a goose,
which is being burnt, and is intended to
represent Luther's great predecessor, John
Huss, burnt at Constance in 1414. Above
this engraving are the words, "Gottlicher
Schrftmessiger woldenekwurdiger Traum
welchen der Hochloblche Gottselige Churf-
urst, Friedrich 3u, SachseD," etc. This en-
craving was published liz 1917 to commemo-
rate the first centenary of Luther's protest
against indulgences in 1517.
Another highly interesting engraving Is
that sho wiog the presentation of the Confess
sion of Ausburg, or declaration of the faith
of the Reformed Princes, to the Emperor
Charles V, on the 25th of june, 1880. This
confession was drawn up by the Melancthon
and approved by Luther. The emperor
Charles Y Is shown seated on mis- JnrUne, re-
ceiving the confession from the Protestant
Princes, who stand before him. They are
John the Constant, Elector of Saxony;
| George, Margraye, of Brandenburg-An-
spach; Ernest, Duke of Luneburg; Philip,
| Landgraye of Hesse, Wolfgang, Prince Of
| Anhalt, and the representative OF the free
| cities of Nuremburg and Reutlngen. This
engraving was published in 1880, to COM
memorate the first centenary of the Augs-
| burg Confession in 1880. The present copy
| is printed on vellum and colored.

Notes About Notable People.

&Speaking of attacks made upon the memo
nv of President Garfield, friend of his widow
is reported to have said the other day: ''She
pays no attention to them whatever. Mrs.
Garfield is a close reader of the newspapers,
and has been for many years, but she is new
er in the least disturbed by attacks on the
General. She remembers those who make
them, and has lived to see good many ma
ligners of her husband brought to repent
ance, but she never allows these things to
disturb her,"
A Paris despatch says American and Eng
lish residents take the same languid sort of
interest in Mrs. Lily Langtry and her wealthy
New York admirer as the newspaper readers
in America. The other day she arrived
there, along with her retinue, with the in
tention of perfecting herself dramatically
under the guidance of the veteran professor
of acting, NJ. Regnier. Her retinue was
smaller when she first came than it was dur
ing her American tour, but it has at length
been increased to its normal size by the
appearance of Mr.. Frederick Gebhardt, who
has suddenly but not Unexpectedly arrived.
whether he, too, intends to study Tor the
stage under M. Regnier is not known, but
the newspapers have already evinced great
interest in the English beauty and the mil
lionaire American, and it is likely that
Young Mr.. Gebhardt will succeed in his evil
dent attempt to secure a European reputa-
tion.

tion. 1t was to him irksome and arduous.

TaE PETERSBURG DEFALoATIoN

Speculation Thought to be the Cause
Loose Methods of Conducting Busi-
ness.
The defalcation and departure from the
State of Collector Dickinson of Phippsburg was
recently reported. The Bath Times says:
The Dickinsons have always had good
standing in the community, and the short
comings OF the ex-collector astonish the peo-
pie. When three times elected to the office he
had no difficulty in getting good men on his
bonds. Such was the confidence in him that
the signers of his bond for the second and
third years never dreamed of the necessity of
looking up his official record; yet it might
have been readily suspected that he had been
using the towns money, inasmuch as he
ceased working at his trade soon after becom-
ing tax collector, and commenced speculating
in cattle and horses. He had, also, paid up
mortgage of $3.50 on his house. His fees for
collecting taxes, 1t must have been evident,
afforded no such handling of money, as they
amounted to only about $225 per year. 1t has
been remarked likewise, that his family has
been indHlging in extravaganza. 1t had not
been calculated by Observing men that he was
making any money in his cattle and horse
deals He was running the business too Wild
~ and loosely. He was accounted no business
man. He kept no book account of money re-
eeived for taxes, nor the Sums discussed. All
the book he had used was the tax list on
which he recorded the amounts individuals
had paid him for taxes.
When all packed up to move to Oregon he
was summoned by the selectmen to square up
his accounts, when it was discovered that he
was about $4,000 short. Hesfailed to satitsfac-
torily account for the deficit. The way the de-
falcation remained SO long undetected was
that on making payments of collected money
to the treasurer, he invariably was particular
to add to the dollars some odd amount in cents,
thus giving the belief that he had scrupulously
paid In all he had collected, to the last cent.
His accounts were annually audited, and re-
ported to the town meeting as SO much placed
in the collectors hands, so much accounted
for, and balance uncollected. And it was in
the uncollected where the stealage came in.
1t could not be known how this uncollected
stood without tediously going over the loosely
kept account, or rather no regular account at
all. John f. Mareen, who died last spring had
been the auditor several years, and it is well
known that his ways were SO easy, both by ma
ture and habit that If the account appeared all
right on the surface 1t would satisfy him.
There has been much excitement in Phipps-
burg over this case, The people are divided as
to whether the man is fool or knave. He
decided 10 the town bis house which is valued
at 81 900, for which an offer of $500 has al
ready been made. The deficit of about $700
to be provided for by the five bondsmen, will
not be very heavy sum for each.

RAILWAY NOTES.
York Harbor and Beach R. r.

The preliminary survey for the location and
construction of the York Harbor and Beach
railroad, chartered by the Legislature of this
State last winter, commenced at Kittery Mon
day, under the charge of a well known and
competent engineer. The proposed line will
commence from the Eastern railroad station In
Kittery passing through the villages OF
Kittery and Kittery Point to York, and will
be an exceedingly feasible and easily construct
ed road. Its early construction is of the great
est importance to Kittery Point and York,
both of which places are rapidly growing in
public favor as popular seashore resorts and
are among the most attractive in New Eng
land. Measures have already been taken look
ing to its early completion.
The Colby Bill.
The passage of the Colby bill by the New
Hampshire Legislature by no means settles the
fate of the lease of the Eastern to the Boston
& Maine favorably, since there are several
suits pending that will have more or less infiu-
ence upon the proposed union of the two roads
The Colby bill was favored by many friends Of
the Eastern, who are unfriendly to its lease tC
the Boston q Maine, upon the ground that the
measure will enable the Eastern to consolidate
with its New Hampshire leased roads and the
Maine Central, should the Boston & Maine
deal prove to be failure.
