sister Of John NJ Verheoi1. the mineral
ogist who went TO the artic regions with
the Pcary expedition, and who is reported
TO be lost She is also niece of Rev. A.

Miss Verheof refuses 10 believe that
her brother is lost. She will demand
that another expedition be sent by the
Academy Of Natural Science for the
purpose of finding him. Il is her pur-
pose TO remain here until next week, at
which time the Peary expedition and re
lief party are expected TO arrive on

She censures Lieutenant peary for his
ungratefulness and unjustness, and Gavin
M. Hart, OF the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia for statements
he has made concerning her brother. She
says that Peary acted ina cowardly man
ner when he deserted her brother
Rev. A. N. keigwin also expresses the
belief that the young man may yet be

This musical pantomime farce which is
to be the attraction at the Grand Opera
house on Tuesday next, is said to easily
distance all competitors in laughing fea
lures, and comes TO us from fresh con
quests over the risibilities of the amuse-
ment seeking public that have eclipsed
all its records Of the past seven seasons.
Tho character of Jiles Button, which Mr..
Kendall has made so familiar to the thea
ter going public during a run of seven
years, Is a veritable old country Gay
with all the baclSwoods LONELINESS and
characteristic awkwardness that could
possibly be- instilled into such character

oughly original. The kids" is spoken Of
by our exchanges as being funnier than
