“THE EMPEROR AT HATFIELD. Mr. I'hyant's l’rnposed Visit lo the Grand Fallsjn Labrador. The mystery which has always hung over the Grand Falls in the interior of Labrador is to be cleared away at, last, and in a. few months the scientific world will know whether the falls in Grand or Hamilton River are the greatest in the world, or whether the previous accounts have been greatly exaggerated. Henry G. Bymnt, a member of the Philadelphia. bar, accompani- ed by Prof. Kenister of Georgetown, Uni- versity, is now on the his way to visit the falls. Afall of 2,000 feet has genrally been re« garded as utterly inconcen'able, however, and various em have been made to verify This morning the Elfiperor went out unat- tended by any one save a. guide for a horse- back ride through t emost interesting parts of the beautiful Ha fieid Park. He after- ward looked at the apartments of the castle, and expressed hiswonder at the magnificence of what he saw. Hatfield House, situated in Hertfordshire, one of the most picturesque counties of England, is the most famous and the most magnificent Jacobean mansion in the country. Surrounded by a large park in which grow fine 01d oak trees and associated with historical events of momentous impor- tance, it is worthy both of its Iordly hosts and its imperial guests. Only two white men have ever seen the falls, so far asis known, and they both place the height at) 2,000 feet. Both of the men stood high in the service of the Hudson Bay Company, and, although they say saw the falls at difl'erent times, their accounts agree in nearly every particular. Maclezux, the first; to reach the scene, conducted an expe- dition into the interior in 1839, and was stopped by these falls. Kennedy reached them under the guidance of an Iroquois In- dian, who had spent most of his'livo 1n Lah- radox‘. The natives give the falls a wide berth, owing to a. tradition long current among them they are haunted by evil spirits and that no man can look upon them and live. Above the falls the river is said to be 5 yards broad, contracting to fifty yards at the falls themselves. If this account be true, then in the whole world there is no other fall having such a. volume of water descending at a. bound from such a stupend- ous height. Niagara’s volume of water is far greater, but its height is only 164 feet. The famous falls of Zamhesi are but 100 feet. In the Yosemite Valley there is a fall of 2,550 feet, but this is broken into three leaps, and the volume of water is not equal to that of the Grand Falls of Labra- dor. Thus, taking into account the com bination of height and volume, these Grand Fialgs of Labrador throw all others into the 51a 0. Derclarations have been; repeatedly made in Parliament, however, that England has refused to be a member of the alliance, and that though she looks upon the affair benevo- lenlly, she will take her own course in the ‘Mediterranean Whenever the time comes. The visrt to Hatfield cannot be looked upon as putting the oflicial signature of England upon the alliance of the three powers, but France and Russia may see things in quite a. different light, and the remarks of the French and Russian inspirerl journals will be anticipated with interest. ON HISTORIC GROUND. The gates of the vast park were thrown open and thousands of people, many of whom had. traveled dozens of miles in vehicles of every description and on foot, thronged the pathways and lawns and de- voured the luncheons they brought with them under the shade of the great trees. The Emperor is said to have enjoyed this picture of rural life quite as much as he did the more gorgeous sights presented in his honor in the metropolis. One of the great events of the Kaiser’s trip to England has undoubtedly been the visit to Hatfield, the seat of the Premier, the Marquis of Salisbury. There was cer- tainly no particular reason why he should have thus paid such a palpable compliment to Lord Salisbury, unless he Wished to show to the world at large that England had in some way or other given her adhesion to the Triple Alliance, which, in its renewed shape, is a pet scheme of the. Emperor’s. ,n W 1 The Emperor and Empress arrived at Hatfield House on Sunday afternoon and were received with due honors. The im- perial visit was taken advantage of by the residents in the neighborhood and the country folk for miles around, who flocked to the seat of the Premier to pay their respects to the visitors and incidentally to enjoy the freedom of the spacious and beau- tiful grounds which surround that famous ochEnglish home. { In commenting upon the visit of the Kaiser a great deal of surprise has been ex- pr' ssed an the excellent Engfish he speaks, as( well as the fact that his accentuation, too, is El: glish. r _ I 15 DUEUDII. It has been forgotten, perhaps. that he is the son of an English Princess, whofrom his babyhood has insisted that he should speak English daily. Consequently the Kaiser speaks better English than the Prince of \Vales himself, who, it is well known, cannot speak many wofds Without a. heavy guttural German accent, while the Emperor speaks the same words in exactly the some manner as an Englishman does. But some of the London papers do complain that though the Kaiser speaks English well enough his sentences need at times explicit elucidation. Thus, for instance. it is said that after the review at Wimbledon he turned to the Duke of Cambridge and said : “ Now at last I under- stand Waterloo PM ~ . u Dkux- . . w.-." People are pfiuling their heads as to what he really meant. ' Did he refer to Waterloo , __ n YR u_, in an Eilglish or ina. German sense? If the latter, the universal belief in Germany is that if Blucherhad not turned upâ€"“Oh, for Blucher or night l”â€"Napoleon would have been victor. If he adopted the English idea. of \Vaterloo, then it was the English impregnable squares that did the business. Who shall interpret the Kaiser‘s phrase ‘Z IS IT GREATER THAN NIAGARA ? 'c Says Ils Majesty Visits Lord Salisbuxy’s Beau- \ tlful Country Seat. he Now Understands lhe Secret of “'aterloo. TH E VISIT T0 HATFIELD When papa reads this, he will learn how to get; rid of the pest. By its mild, healing, antiseptic, and cleansing properties, Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy cures the worst cases. This infallible remedy does not, like the poisonous, irritating snufis, “ creams ” and strong caustic solutions with which the public have been so long humbugged, simply paliate for a short time, or drive the disease to the lungs, It produces a. perfect and permanent cure of the worst cases of Chronic Catarrh. “Coldintlereud”curedwithafew applications.

Y., has given to the world his celebrated “ Golden Medicel Discovery,” a. cure for Consumption and Throat and Lungs troubles that lead to Consumption, if taken in time and given a. fair trial. The time to cure Consumption (which is really nothing more nor less than LilngvSCtofula), is in the first stages. A cough generally: sounds the alarm, and you should take the “ Discovery ” at Once it is too late. in; but the largest part of the city can be gassml through without the least difficulty. y the light of the miners’ lamp, the place presents a. quaint, fantas- tic appearance. There are houses in in perfect construction, one or two stories high, witha. pretence of architectural ele- gance, and filled with furniture and various domestic utensils. The ceiling or upper covering of the streets ere constructed of blocas of alnbaster granites. The natives of Bokhara. knew of the place long ago and carried away many silver and gold coins, ornaments. and utensils of great intrinsic value and of still greater archzeologicalim- portance. The Russian authorities of Bokhura have made arrangements to Lake care of the antiquitioo or the place. and sent notice or Its discovery to the Archaeological Society of Moscow. The society has sent a commission of experts tomake explorations during the summer. The fellow who lives on his wits must frequently put up with poor ” wittles.” Little Johnnie, on seeing a skeleton for the first time, exclaimed, “ Why, but they skinned her mighty close, didn’t they ! She looks worse than Aunt Jane did, before ma. gave her that bottle of ‘ Favorite Prescrip- tion 1’ ” “ Aunt Jane" was so completely worn out, by prolapsus, periodical difficul- ties and nervous prostration, that she was a. constant sufferer, night and day, but Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription acted so promptly and favorably upon the uterus and other organs, that she suffers no pain at any time, and her general health was never bet- ter. As a. remedy for all female weaknesses. as a. strength-giving tonic and quietiug ner- vine, “ Favorite Prescription” is unequaled. Guaranteed to give satisfaction or price ($1.00) refunded. the reports of Mnclean and Kennedy. In 1887 Bundle E. Holme of Oxford University made an effort to reach the falls, but his provisions gave out when he supposed him- self within fifty miles of his journey's end, and he was absolutely forced to go back. Mr. Bryant hascnrefully studied the situa- tion, and has made his preparations with so much care that his success is regarded as assured. He sailed from New York on June 23, and reached St. John’s two days later. All his supplies were purchased there and his final arrangements completed, and to-day he sails for Battle Harbor, on the Strait of Belle Ise. Another steamer will take him to Rigolet, a post of the Hudson Bay Company, in Hamilton Inlet, from where a. two days' sail Will land him at Northwest, from where he will begin his last journey of 300 miles up the Grand River. Besides himself and Prof. Kenisfon Mr. Bryant hopes to take about eight Indians and a. White man for guide if he can get one. The journey up the riVer will be made in canoes, which must be carried around the many rapids and falls. It is estimated that the trip of 300 miles each way can be made in about ‘x weeks, and on that estimate Mr. Burg will get back to Northwest about the mid e of September, endto Philadelphia about Oct. 1. His Idea. is, however, to come back by a, different route if practicable. Inaletter to his mother and brothers Mr. Bryant speaks very hopefully of his trip. The French priest, a very intel- ligent man whomakes piIgI-images through Labrador, estimates the height of the falls at about 1,000 feet. Mr. Bryant, the head and front of the ex- pedition, is a. graduate of Princeton College, and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1886. He has not practiced much, how- ever, devoting most of his time to travel and scientific studies. His present venture is undertaken solely on his own responsibility, to settle the long-disputed question of the height of the great falls, and, if successful, will make him famous in the world of science and travel. He has a wide field before him, as few portions of Labrador beyond the coast have ever been visited by white men, and only the barest outline of its geography is known. In the right bank of the River Amoo-Daria. near the town of Karki in Bokham, grottoes have been found among the hills leading to a. subterranean city, the evidence of which dates back into antiquity. Silver coins and inscriptions of the time of Gapora. I. (the first Persian King of the Gassanidean dynasty, Who lived about 200 years B. C.) were found in the place. The subterranean town stretches over a. distance of more than three versts (about a. half mile) with streets, lanes, squares, and hanging fountains. In some places the ground on the top has caved Twinkle. twinkle. little star, How I'wondor what you are.” In treble sweet piped little Grace.
