Baldwin Starting for the Pole.

Evelyn B. Baldwin, the arctie explorer, and now the organizer and leader of the best equipped exploring party that ever started north, from any country, is now in London, and in a couple of weeks will leave there for Franz Joseph Land, north of Norway, from which point the actual start for the pole will be made. Baldwin is well remembered here by many of our people, from a leoture given four or five years ago. He was then preparing for thiß very expedition and saving his lecture money for that purpose. He would have to have lectured a good while before he could have got from his own resources, For that he is beholden to Wm. Zeigler, a baking powder magnate of New York who has furnished Baldwin with all the money he could use for this exjfedition.
