The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-04-26

relics of the past ages Thus there will
| be concentration in one small space
Of the priceless treasures of antiquity
which many tourists have made the
circle of Europe to see.
/ The exposition will be divided into
two huge departments, one being called
the historical section and the other the
modern times section. The first de-
scribes itself. In the second will be
shown the moral and intellectual pro-
greSS of the Hungarian people. The
army and navy and all the other de-
partments OF the government will eX-
hibit their resources, and the life of the
remote villages will be graphically re-
produced. All branches of commerce
and industry will make an exposition
| of their resources to show the nation s
recent progress.
MANY ROYAL EXHIBITORS.
The Austrians are naturally taking
as much interest in the exposition as
the HungarianS, as the history and
progress of the one are closely allied
with the other. The Emperor Francis
Joseph has taken a lively interest in
the matter, and he will be the chief
exhibitor in the historical section. EN-
peror William of Germany, will also
be an extensive exhibitor, as the reign
ing Austrian family is descended from
Count Rudolph of Hapsburg, who was
elected emperor of Germany in 1916
There are scores of archdukes in Aus
tria and Hungary and all of them have
arranged to take some part in the eX-
position. Many of them have had sep
arate pavilions erected in the exhibit
ton grounds for the display of their
treasures, the most handsome Of these
structures being the pavilion of the
Archduke Joseph.
To those interested in the way the
warriors of old carried on their war
fare the exposition will have a peculiar
interest. Armor and other implements
of warfare used by the brave MagyarS
who comprised the army of the invad-
ing Prince Arfad, when he defeated
Zvatopluk, King of the Slavs, will be
shown.
Later on Arfad, whose fame as
warrior made his will the law even out
side of his own domain, purchased vast
areas of land, the nominal price paid
being seven white stations. All the
stations in the Worthwhile, brown,
black and of every other color-would
not buy one-hundredth part of that ter
ritory today.
THE NORTHERN INVADERS.
1t will be graphically shown how the
naruy Mortimer OF Europe OVersan
Italy, Spain, Hungary, Austria and the
best of southern Europe in the middle
ages, conquering principaffties, hu-
initiating the mobiles, levying tribute
right and left and tearing the whole
country wide open with the ravages of
rercenary warfare
An historical fact of considerable in
terest is that the exposition will be held
on the same ground where a thousand
years ago the Magyar parliament met.
The site is part of Budapest's city park
land and lies just east of the city pro-
per. The exposition grounds cover an
area of 4,5OO,OOO square feet, and will
contain 169 buildings and paviNions,
erected at a cost of 100000 forms, or
$4,000, OOO
Another feature of more than usual
note is that the new house of the Hun
garian parliament will be opened. 1t
has cost 100000 forms (s6,400000) and
taken twelve years to build. Five hum
dred new primary and technical schools
in various parts of the country will
be opened, and the Iron Gate" which,
like Hell Gate in East River, has al
ways been a menace to the navigation
of the lower Danube, will be dedicated.
