THRILLING EXPERIENCES.
Intrepid Providence Woman Tells OF
Mountain Climbing.

Next to the personal experience Of mountain
climbing, To h3ar Miss Annie 4. Peck tell
about 10 IL comfortably exciting. and tomor-
row evening she IL gong 20 lecture in Infan-
try Hall, Mt the request Of Governor Lppitt,
Mayor Motsuinness and others. ON her accom-
plishment Of what comparatively few men
care to notwithstanding to tho summit of
the Matterhorn. Miss Peck was In switzer.
land. 10 years ago, and then formed the plan
OF some day ascending this famous mountain.
and last suInmer carried 10 out. Although
her lecture IL entitled "To the Summit of the
Matterhorn," she does not take her hearers
directly there. but with series Of interest
ing descriptions and pictures tells about her
travels In the Tyrol the ascent OF Grass
Gloclnsr, the beautiful snow mountain. and
this Monte Christallo, one OF the Dolomitos, "A
rock mountain with sides as precipitous as
the Aatterborn in places, although II took
but third as long to reach the summit: then
the scenes in and around Zcrmatt In swifzer-
land, where n month was spent previous to
climbing the Matterhorp, arc described. as
well as the ascsnt OF the Breitho-n and Weilen
Kuppe, two mountains worth climbing.
Miss Peck has, besides, views n general Of
the beautiful spots visited, views in dsta,l,
such as were never seen in America before,
and which she procured at considerable ex-
pense from gentleman who obtained them
for his personal use. Miss Peck is certainly
intrepid, although she has climbed noun
tains a great deal ia California, the Yosemite
region and New Hampshire: but the Matter
horn is different. II is 4,7O5 feet high, and
filed with dangerous places, falling into
which has ended many life in years past.
frequently the climber has 10 walk on "A mar
row ridge, scarcely two feet wide. with pre-
cipitous sides ext, ding 1000 and 5000 feet
below: "but them" che insip uatingly re-
marks. "as long as you have rood fiat stone
TO step on what differenos does IL make il the
width is slightf Some people. Of course,
want great deal Of room"
so it is all the way up from the stone hut
which Is q little less tnan 1000 feet from the
summit. and many time the climber has
only to let go with his hands to drop into
eternity. 1t takes a stout heart. good lungs.
clear eye and steady brain, rs well muscle.
ana Miss Peck has shown that she possesses
all these. When she got 10 the top Of tho
mountain, or within one foot OF, she could
look straight down one side thousands OF feet,
and tho incline on the side on which she
stood was steep enough to frightep the ordin-
airy mortal to death, even II there were no
snow there.
Miss Peck dressed like a man for climbing,
with knickerbockers. In fact. skirts are a
hipdrance and apt to be source Of danger.
although women climbers often wear them.
People in Providence do not seem 10 realize
that Miss Peck is quite a lecturer, principally
because she has lectured elsewhere more than
at nome. Her lectures on Greece were greatly
appreciated II many Of the large cities. and
hei lecture on the Matterhorn was greatly
enjoyed in Boston.
