That Labrador Waterfall.


 Marvellous stories are related by the few Montangnais and Nascapee Indians who have penetrated far into the interior of Labrador respecting cataract, beneath whose terrific leap Niagara pales into insignifance. But one white man has seen these falls, and the Indians ideas of measurements and distances are so imperfect that even where their stories agree, it is difficult to deduct from them anything like reliable data An expedition lately undertaken by Randle F. Holme, F. R. G. s., and H. Duff, fellow All Souls, college Oxford to explore the interior of Labrador and investigate these falls unfort- uRately failed in its object, the explorers having been misled by erroneous calculations as to distances and the exact location of the cataract, and compelled to return in conse- quence of running short of provisions They got so near to the object of their exped- ition, however that they were enabled from the general conhguration of the country to form what must be tolerab1y correct esti~ mate as to both the location and magnitude of the cataract. This estimate agrees with the description of the grand falls furnished by Maclean, who visited them in 1889 and whose further progress into the interior was stopped by them. He gave the width of the river immediately above the falls as 1 500 feet, but says that cataract itself is not more than 150 feet across. The height of the falls be estimates at 2,000 feet. This estimate in indorsed by half-breed named Kennedy, met by Messrs. Holme and Duff in the interior and who 30 years ago was in charge of Fort Nascapee on Lake Petchika- pou.
 One of the chief difficulties encountered by explorers desirous of reaching the falls is the obstinate refusal by the Labrador Indians to approach them They believe them to be haunted and think it impossible to lock upon them and live Kennedy was

THE FINAL ACT.

Miss Taylor's Remains Are Inferred In
 Evergreen Cemetery-Her Parents
 Attend the Funeral.
 The final act in the tragedy of the suicide Of Miss Florence M. Taylor, who committed suicide at the Pavilion hotel Friday after noon, took place Saturday afternoon when her remains were inferred in Evergreen cem etery. The sereyices were read by Rev. Dr. Reed of Trinity M. E. church at Lewis & Maycock's undertaking establishment Her father, Frederick N. Tayler, of New Lon don, and her stepmother were the only ones present.
 Thus was ended the life of a young girl who had lead fast life for only short time. Her father is bookbinder of New London, and he is prominent member of the New London Methodist church.
 Miss Taylor put an end to her life when she found that the young man she was engaged to was engaged to another girl.
 Mrs. Taylor, step-mother of the girl, said that she had not seen much of Florence since she married Mir. Taylor, as he was always re- ticent as to his daughter's actions. She said that he knew Florence and the New Haven young man were intimate friends, and had never expressed any opposition to it. MT. Taylor might have known that an engage- ment existed, but she knew nothing of it. Florence wrote to her week ago, in which she said she was doing well, being then in the Sacred Heart convent, Manhattanyille, NY. Mrs. Taylor said that the whole affair was mystery to her, and she could not un- deEssand Florence's rash act.
