PICNIC AT sHELLPOT PARK.

Young People Had Jolly Time Last
Night Despite the Rain-Rev. Keigwin
Leaves for a six-Months' visit "Down
East"
Rev. A. n Ke'gwin. the popular and
talented pastor of West Presby terian
Church, left here to day for Haverhin,
Mass, which is his wife's old home
Mrs keigwin preceded him several days
ago. His apprecistive congregation has
granted him six weeks leave of absence,
which he will spend in and around HRv-
erhill. Sishing will be his principal
recreation, as he is an ardent disciple of
Izaak Walton.
Just before he left the Clayton House
this morning an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter asked him If there were any
tidings of young Verhoeff, who wandered
away from the Peary expedition in
Greenland last year.
No" he replied 1--WE can't tell any
thing about it until the Falcon comes
back Then we will hear definitely
whether he has been seen since the first
expedition left. The only thing that
would confirm Pearys suspicion at all
that he was lost is that he did not appear
TO the natives after the exploring party
left for home"
'Is his sister still hopeful2" asked the
reporter
"Oh. yes; she stin hopes. She thinks
he left the party of his own accord and
that he will be back here before the
| Falcon comes back-that is, that he
win find some way of getting down home
independent of the Peary exploring
party.
