Lieutenant Peary, the arctic explorer,
will give his lecture tomorrow evening.
An exchange in speaking of it said: Many

famous explorer as to hear his lecture.
Lieutenant Peary is very quiet, gentle
manly looking man and scarcely the one

the Arctic regions and the different
methods pursued in his second trip and

had travelled at the sea level, along the
coast.
At the conclusion of the lecture many
curios belonging to Lieutenant Peary were
