the compressed air Of this pipe would he

ABANDONING ICELAND.
The Natives Seeking New Homes in Win
nipeg and Manitoba.

nipeg and Manitoba.
A party of lcelandic immigrants, num-
boring nearly eighty persons, arrived in
Winnipeg a week ago, in the charge of the
long expected Icelandc minister. Rev.
Bjarnason This gentleman organized a
congregation of lcelanderS and built a
church in Winnipeg nearly three years
ago. Only IA few services were held i'll the
church when the happy and prosperous
little congregation had to say farewell to
its pastor he having been unexpectedly
called away to Iceland. He promised to
return, however and since that time the
Icelanders of Winnipeg have been anxious
ly looking for the arrival of their beloved
minister. Since he has been in the far
north land Rev. Mr. Bjarnason has lost
no opportunity to point out to his country
men the advantages and resources of Man
itOba and the immigration from Iceland
during the last two or three years has
been due in a large measure to his efforts
He left Iceland with his party nearly six
weeks ago, going first to England and
thence to Boston and to Winnipeg. Two
or three families remained in Toronto, in
tending to settle in Northern Minnesota
they having been decoyed by American
railroad pamphlets, but all the rest re-
solved to come to Manitoba. They are
now scattered about the city, living with
their friends and relatives, and none OF
them are sorry that they left their native
country. They are greatly surprised at
the progress made by the Icelanders in
Winnipeg, and are looking forward to the
time when they, too, shall have cOmforta
BILE Manitoba homes.
The people in Iceland are very poor in
fact, their poverty as "A class is really sur
prising Times have been hard there fol
years and the immigrants are delighted
10 think they have at last reached coun
try where by honest toll and frugality
they will have an opportunity to provide
a home for their families. In Iceland they
did very little farming even in the South
ern part, the land being almost WORTHLESS:
for agricultural purposes The people en-
gage principally in the raising of horses
and cattle, exporting them to England anC
Scotland. Here they will go into farming
the great majority Of them intending I,
take up land at the Icelandic settlement
at Lake Winnipeg, where there are alread
ly several hundred thrifty settlers. \ few
of them having friends at the scttlemen
in Southern Manitoba will take up the
residence there, also entering agriculture
pursuits.
Mr. Bjarnason has no fears as to thei
success in this country. They viii pick nj
the language, he says, in the course of
very few months, and will then OvercOm
the many difficulties and Disadvantages q
speaking a foreign tongue. lCelaudclS, h
says, learn the English language muCl
more quickly than SWedcS or Norwegian
or, in fact, than any immigrants from iol
eign lands. He can give no reason fo
this, bat il is the fact, They viii rcmai
in the city with their friends during tn
summer, it would be useless for then
TO go 10 their land now. In the fail, how
ever, they win begin life as Manitoba fan
mers.

REMARKABLE MARRIAGE
The Brother of AN English Lord Takes AN
American wife.

A New York letter says Hon. Edmund
Arthur Marcus SandyS, brother of Lord
Sandys of Umberslcy court, Stoncport,
Worcestershire Eng, was married IN this
city ON "Wednesday evening To Miss Maria
Ada Jones of Bay Shore, Long Island.
Mr.. Sandys is twcuty-four years old and
is the youngest son of the late Lord Sandys
who died in lS,i3 He came To this country
about IA year ago and is well known at
Delmouicu's and the Hoffman house. He
is short and stout and has fair hair and
full. smooth face. He delighted in
blanket checks and gay plaidS, and
his canary culOrcd WaistCUat be
came a byword. His trousers seemed al
ways to he too long for his short legs, and
he kept them turned up at the bottom. 1t
is said that they were arranged IN that
way when he was married. He was fond
of horses and bought several. ran them at
jerome Park and won several races. Dur
ing the past summer he has been living in
a house which he hired at ShccpShead Bay.
He furnished it himself and kept bache-
Tors hall, often entertaining many of his
friends. one of these friends was f.. Pow
is Jones of Bay Shore, a son of the late
William Francis Jones of this city. Mr.
Sandys fell in love with Mr. Jones sis
ter and became engaged to marry
her 1t was arranged that she should
come ON from Bay shore on Wednesday
with Mr.. and Mrs. Jones and meet him at
Hotel Victoria. In some way MIR. Jones
sister-in-laW came ON alone. Thcy dined
with Mr.. Sandys ut DelmonicO's, he still
wearing one of his remarkable suits.
Owing to the absence of Mr. Jones, il was
necessary to get another witness of the
MARRIAGE and Mr.. Sandys sent for Mr.
