RELIEF FOR PEARY.
Philadelphia Scientists to Kit Out
an Expedition.
THE PARTY MUST BE RELIEVED
OR 1T WILL PERISH.

This is the Opinion of DIR. Robert N. KeeIy,
Jr., Who Was One of the Party That Ac-
companied Peary to GreenIand-Phila-
deIphia Academy of Natural Sciences
win Pay the Expenses, and the Expedi-
ton Will Start in the Spring.
While Lieutenant Peary, brave little
Mrs. Peary, and the other members of the
party are passing the dark days of the
Arctic winter in Northern Greenland, they
are by no means forgotten by those who
sent them out. 1t is announced from Phil
adelphia that an expedition will be sent to
Greenland for the relief of Lieut. Peary
early In the spring DR.. Robert N. Keely.
Dr., who was one of the party that accom-
panied Peary to Greenland, says that an
expedition will be fitted out, and that the
Philadelphia Academy Of Natural Sci
ences will defray the expenses, provided
the funds cannot be raised in any other
way.
DR.. Keely and one other of last years
party will go on the expedition. Who will
constitute the entire party is not definitely
known. DR.. Keely is of the opinion that
unless such party is sent fully equipped
for an Arctic season, Lieut.. Peary and his
associates will never reach civilization.
OF course nothing has been heard from
Lieut. Peary either by the Academy or by
his relatives and friends in this city since
the return of the vessel that took his party
up there. He Is far beyond where even
whaling vessels are likely to go.

MRS. PALMER's RECEPTION.
The Ladies who Assisted and the Pleasant
Time All Had.

The Saturday morning reception ten
dered to Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer by
the ladies Of the Portland Literary Union
was very pleasant and successful affair.
1t took place in the parlors of the Fall
mouth Hotel, beginning at 10 o'clock. The
receiving party consisted of Mrs.
Palmer, Mrs. Geo. G. Frye, president of
the Union, Mrs. S. E. Bragdon, ex-
president, Mrs. Geo. e. Bird, who enter
tanned Mrs. Palmer. and Mrs. Elizabeth
Webb. vice president of the Union. The
affair was managed by reception commit.
tee consisting Of Miss Elizabeth Varnun.
Mrs. DR.. Henry Hunt, Mrs. E. s. Osgood,
Mrs. Judge VIM. Writ Virgin and Mrs.
DIR. Henry P. Merrill. A large number Of
ladies called to pay their respects to Mrs.
Palmer during the hours of the reception.
Music was furnished by Miss McGregor,
and Mrs. 7. FL. johnson, who played du-
ct on a piano. and Miss Bebee, who with
Miss McGregor, rendered selections on the
violin and violincello.
After the reception, Mrs. Palmer gave a
short address upon the work that women's
clubs are doing. She believes that these
clubs are doing great work for women,
influencing home life and the social life of
those places so fortunate as to have clubs.
From Portland Mrs. Palmer went to
Skowhegan. where she lectured Saturday
evening before the club women there.
There are now in Portland Is clubs and
the Literary Union numbers 3l8 members
Mrs. Palmer spoke while here of her de-
light in meeting so many women interested
In this matter, and commented with espec-
ial admiration on the audience that lis
tened to her lecture. The ladies of the
Union here are now laboring for two OBJ
jects, the establishment of club building
in this city, and the formation of state
league Of all women's clubs in Maine The
league is very likely to be formed this
spring; but the club building may be a re-
suit slower of accomplishment.
The next afternoon of the Literary Un-
ion will be on Janury 23d, when "Ameri-
can Women" will be the subject.

THE RECENT FIRES.
Three of Them Occur Between Saturday
Evening and Sunday Noon.

The alarm from box 80 Saturday night
was fol flames in the house No. "a Chest
nut street. The fire was confined to one
room in the second story, which was filled
with smoke, and as it was mostly in the
ceiling it took an half hour to drown it
out. The house was occupied by four fam
lilies, Miss Ferris and James White occupy
ing the upper part and James O'Connor
and Samuel Leslie the lower part. The
fire caught in Miss Ferris's room. in the
ceiling, from some unknown cause. The
building is owned by William Melaugh,
who had an insurance of $500 with Prem
tiss Loring. The damage will be quite
ter, the roof having to be cut through to
get at the fire.
Mr.. Charles Benefits house at Willard,
Cape Elizabeth, was burned to the ground,
with the barn. Mr.. Bennett thought the
fire caught in the passage between the barn
aud house, but bystanders thought it
caught in both the cellar and roof of the
house. The property was unoccupied.
There were several tons of hay in the
barn. The loss was $4,000, with $1,000 in
surance with j. FL. Webster.
The alarm from box s3, at 1915 q. m.
yesterday, was caused by some rags in the
second story of house on Salem. just be-
yond School street. 1t was extinguished
with pail of water. The engines did not
put on water. The tenement where the
fire occurred was occupied by Mr.. Dufie.

DENNIS WAS CAUGHT.
Kilday Did Not Keep His Word to Judge
Bonney and Now Must Suffer.

At the May term of the Superior Court,
Dennis E. Kilday was before Judge Bon
ney on charges Of selling liquor and paid a
large amount of fines into the county treas
ury. On his promise not TO engage in the
business again the judge suspended sem
tence Of Imprisonment during good be-
havior. For some time the officers have
had reasons to believe that Kilday was not
keeping his part of the agreement. SO off
GERS Plummer and Sterling called at his
place Saturday night and secured several
bottles of lager beer. They also seized
several cases Of the same at his house.
They arrested Kilday and his bartenders
Flynn and Casey. Kilday gave bonds in
the sum of nine hundred dollars for his
appearance before the court this morning.
Casey and Flynn went to jail.
Later in the evening the officers arrested
Levi Donovan on a charge Of selling, and
made seizure at his place.

FoREFATHERS' DAY.
Its Coming was Anticipated by Rev. E. p.
Wilson'S Sermon.

at the Woodfords Congregational
church, yesterday, the pastor. Rev. E. P.
Wilson. made the landing of the Pilgrims
the topic of his sermon, very appropriate
subject in view of the fact that today is the
271st anniversary of the landing of the Pill
grims on Plymouth Rock. After describ-
ing the moving of the Independents from
England to Holland, and thence to Ameri-
ca. Mr.. Wilson dwelt upon the character
istics of the Pilgrims and Puritans and up
on the criticisms made with reference to
them. The Pilgrims were distinguished
from the Puritans. who settled at Salem,
Watertown and Boston after the Pilgrims
were established at Plymouth. In speak
ing of the Pilgrims Mr.. Wilson called at
tention to the fact that they could not be
the subjects of the prejudices excited
since against the Puritans. since they
neither banished Roger Williams nor
whipped Quakers nor hung witches. These
things were done by the Puritans. in
whose behalf Mr.. Wilson spoke word of
defence. TWAS true that the Puritans
banished Roger Williams, but not because
he differed from them in matters of reli-
gious belief. Roger Williams denied the
validity of the colony's charter, and i'm
perilled their political institutions Roger
Williams was the anarchist of the colony,
1t is true that the Puritans treated the
Quakers severely. But Mr.. Wilson called
attention to the fact that the Quakers of
that day were very different from the
Friends OF this day. In that day the
QuakerS would come naked--men and
women-into the Puritan churches, there to
create disturbance by their fRnatical
preachings Was there not some
excuse for driving out such zealots?
Eight years after the landing of tue Pill
grims leading barrister of London had
his ears cut off, his nose slit, his cheeks
branded, and was imprisoned for life for
writing book rejecting upon Archbishop
Laud. 1t was true that the Puritans hung
some witches. There were twenty witches
hung in New England, and this Is matter
OF lasting regret But the Puritans must
be judged by their light, not by ours. We
must consider amid what ideas of toler-
ance they had been brought up. In Eng
land, between the years 1900 and 1850,
100000 persons were hung for witches In
one year 800 were hung in Geneva; and it
is estimated that on the continent of Eu-
rope 100000 witches were hung.
The PuritanS of Massachusetts, Bay may
have been intolerant. but they were far in
advance of their age.
In conclusion, MIR. Wilson commented
upon the great success of the Pilgrims and
Puritans in founding state. No infidel
colony ever could show such results.
The Portland daily press., 1891-12-21

Spring Street Citizens Rout an Intruder.
Those who strolled about near the upper
END of Spring street last evening may have
noticed something unusual in the atmos-
phere. A wandering pole cat took up its
residence under a stable In that region
several weeks ago, and has, upon the whole
been rather an offence to the citizens of
that locality. Yesterday they organized a
posse conaitatuS and besieged the stable.
But. like Booth and Almy, the pole-cat de-
Tended the stable valiantly, and it was only
when one citizen, more valiant than the
rest. hung down through scuttIe and
drew a bead with revolver. that the pole
cat gave uD. The beast is now dead, but
memories of him will linger about the up
per end of Spring street for some time.
