The Use of Wine on New Years Day.
To the Editor of The Evening star
1t is SO seldom that I see anything in the
papers Of this city advocating abstinence from
Intoxicating drinks that almost think the tenn
perance people are ashamed to have it known
that they belong to the temperance host This
is the eve OF 1893.
On Monday next, in obedience to q time
honored custom, many ladies IN this city will
may call to present their wishes for happy
new year.
In the name OF temperance organization,
numbering 1000 in this city alone, now pre-
sent an appeal to every one of those ladies who
may read this. Do not, beg OF you, in the
name OF all you hold dear, have drop Of any
Intoxicating liquor in your house to offer to any
OF your callers. Is this an unreasonable
request? Let Us see. The women are the mis-
tresses of our homes. Their wishes are the law
there. They are naturally purer-hearted and
better than men. In passions and habits they
stand notch higher than man. Among civil
lied nations verify believe they are the ele-
ment that not only prevents man from relaps-
ing into the half-barbarous stage. but spurs
him on to higher moral civilization. There
fore the woman who drops to the level Of all
the passions and habits of men has stepped
upon lower plane than that which she nat
urally occupies. Then why should any woman
in this city descend from her high estate on
New Year day to pander to a dangerous appe-
lite. which so many men have acquired
through a foolish habit, by offering to her
callers any liquor containing alcohol?
Many young man starts out
New Year morning with the deliberate inten-
ton of getting full' before night. Is it posi-
BILE, ladies. that any of you will be guilty Of
helping such young men to consummate their
foolish and disastrous determination. If YOU
have son do you wish him to come home New
Year night simple fool, an Infatuated iend or
an inert lump-made so by the painstaking
efforts of your dear lady friends, who have,
perhaps, laughed CONTEMPORARY at his silly
conduct when he was at their house? If you
are true mother how ought you to feel? If
you are true woman, you will shrink with
horror from the thought Of being instru-
ment in the slightest degree in the debasement
OF the son Of any mother in the land.
Nay more, you will. like true and noble
woman. Danish all intoxicants from your table,
and serve for refreshments only those things
which really refresh and strengthen the body
and mind, and leave no sting or scar behind.

Lieut.. Peary Tells OF His Experiences In
Search Of the North Pole.

close attention Of an audience for nearly two

| discovery then Lieut. R. E. Peary, United
States navy, in the reception which was &C.
| corded to him last evening at the Builders' Ex-
change Hall, demonstrated that there is a deep
| and an abiding interest in this subject. The
story Of Lieut.. Peary's pluck and endurance in
facing the perils Of life in the arctic is famil-
lar one. But in addition he is the exponent Of
. new theory in regard to the beet method Of
| reaching the pole.
| All these things served to make him a promi-
nent figure and when the National Geographic
Society issued cards Of invitation for the lecture
last evening there was q very general response
on the part Of the leading scientific people Of
the city, as well rs others. In fact, while ad-
| mission limited to holders of cards the hall
was entirely inadequate to accommodate all
| who wished to attend. Every seat was occupied
as weu as all available standing room. People
did not seem to mind the fatigue of standing as

markably good and showed that the lieutenant

ditions OF life in that corner OF the globe. He
therefore only incidently touched upon the ad-
vantsges of the land route in reaching an ex-
treme northern country over the ocean route.
But his success far has removed this
question from the realm of debate. He
proposes TO devote this winter TO lee

he will go to Europe on a similar tour
Upon his return TO this country he will prepare

when he lectured in this city under the same
auspices just before he started on his trip
north. But 1t is the modesty Of merit. Every
body was delighted with him and his pictures
and his talk, and an sdmiring constituency will
follow him in his future efforts to wrest from
the frozen fastnesses of the arctic the secrets
which have 30 long eluded the zeal and energy
Of explorers.

FoREI0N RELATIONS.
Uncle Sam got only once thoroughly aroused
and tha. was early in the winter, when it
seemed as though Chile was trying to make
game" of him and would not apologize for the
assault on the Baltimore's crew in the previous
October. Affairs became serious and the Presi-
dent was determined that the honor Of the
country should be maintained. On January
% the President sent an ultimatum, demanding
an apology and the withdrawal of the Malta
letter, in which America was referred to in
most uncomplimentary terms. Work in all the
navy yards was pushed and vessels made ready
for the Pacific. Fortunately, Just after the
President had called the attention of Congress
to the affair in q special message the long de-
layed apology came. Chile afterward offered
S75, 900 indemnity for the outrage. though dis
claiming responsibility. Relations are now
harmonious.
In February this government and Great
Britain agreed on France, Italy and Sweden az
arbiters Of the Boring sea dispute. In the fol-
lowing month, however. Lord Salisbury aroused
tempest of indignation here by refusing to
| renew the modus vivendi. This, however, he
afterward agreed to renew on condition that
the United States il it lost should pay the dam
ages suffered in the interim by the sealers.
The Senate then ratified the agreement.
On April IA the United States ended the New
Orleans lynehing incident by paying s25, 900 to
| Italy.
In June the President recommended retslia-
| ton on Canada for discrimination in welland
canal tolls, and retaliation was authorised.
