JULIA DENT GRANT
1American Girl Who Is to Marry the Prince
Cantacuzene.)

mats. He excused himself on the plea
that he wished to join the party of
Grand Duke Sergius, with whom he
wanted to discuss some minor matter
of state. 1t would not brook delay.
Grand Duke Sergius happened to be at
Cannes. Accordingly Prince Cantacu-
zene appeared at Cannes the day after
the ''uneXpected pleasure" and ''imper-
ative orders from ST.. Petersburg to
join the grand duke" Notwithstand-
ing the imperative orders from St..
Petersburg" Grand Duke Sergius saw
little of Prince Cantacuzene.
Mrs. Palmer decided to leave Cannes
as suddenly as she had left Rome. This
time the grand duke was not available;
but the prince followed them to Paris.
One morning early in May the prince
cabled to Col. Fred Grant, who was then
in Chicago. He asked for the hand of
Miss Grant in marriage. Before night
he received brief but satisfactory an
swer. Concerning the matter, Gen.
Grant said:
''There is really very little to say
about the engagement. 1 received a
cablegram from Paris, asking me to
give my consent to the engagement be-
tween Prince Cantacuzene and my
daughter, and replied that there was
no objection to it, so far as knew. l
have known Prince Cantacuzene's fam
lily for 20 years, and, while have never
seen the young man who wants to be
my son-in-law, have often heard of
him and know him to be highly accom-
plished and of exemplary character"
Miss Julia Dent Grant is named for
her grandmother, who was the beauti-
full Julia Dent, of St. Louis. Miss Grants
mother was Miss Honore, sister of
Mrs. Potter Palmer. She was born in
the white house in 1876. She is tall
woman, with dark eyes and an olive
complexion. Her manners are not vi.
vacious, but graceful and dignifed. Be-
tween the ages OF IA and 16 she lived at
Vienna, Col. Grant then being minister
to Austria. She is a fine linguist, speak
ing French and German f1uently. Miss
Grant had three winters in New York
society, and one at Bar Harbor, besides
seeing a good deal of Washington soci-
ETY. all her life. She has had many ad-
mirers, among them Prince Victor EN-
manuel, count of Turin and nephew of
King Humbert of Italy. At one time
Miss Grant refused to be queen, when
Prince Albert of Belgium offered him
self and the half of his kingdom. His
attentions were very marked. But the
Newport season, of which Mrs. Potter
Palmer was the bright particular star,
because of the attentions of the Belgian
prince to her niece, passed without the
expected announcement of an engage
ment. Another sutton of hers was Rob-
.ert Gerry, son Of Elbridge T. Gerry.
But now Miss Grant has made her
choice, and she has chosen to be a Rus
sian princess. sals R

Unique Postal Service for Alaska
and the Klondike.
Government Claims to Have Solved q
Problem Which Has Puzzled the
Heads OF officials for .
Number of Years.

The problem of arctic transportation
since the rush to the Klondike has
caused much anxiety in the post Office
department, and has been finally solved
only after an expenditure of much time
and money by the choice of the domes-
ticated reindeer as the only practicable
and speedy method of distributing the
Alaskan mail. Now, to carry out the
plans, the revenue cutter Thetis is be-
ing fitted out for cruise along the ST.
berian coast to obtain the swiftest of
these animals from the Siberian herd
ers. Lieut.. D. II. Jarvis, one of the most
experienced of arctic officers, will be
in command. 81 r>. r r.
The nearest market of the dOmesti-
Gated reindeer is on the east coast OF
Siberia, just across the Behring strait.
Here the animals have been herded and
trained by the nomadic tribes that
roam up and down the coast, subsist-
ing mainly on the products of the herds
and bartering skins with the coast ma
tives for tobacco, firearms, ammuni-
ton and other commodities. The The
It's will meet these tribes along the
coast, purchase the best of the deer and
transport them across to the Alaskan
coast. w."
The present methods of transporta-
ton in Alaska are by dog trains, In
dian packers and by boats, BY boat it
is impossible to travel nine months of
the year, and dog-team travel is limited,
slow and uncertain, as the greater part
of the load has to be taken up by food
for the animals. The history of every

expedition that has penetrated into the

Not only in carrying the mail will the
reindeer be of service, but to explorers,
miners, missionaries and settlers they
will prove sure means of transporting
supplies and will greatly aid in explora-
ton and development. SO %gst
The reindeer possesses, all the. requi-
sites for arctic travel. They are swift,
tractable and self-sustaining. The
moss upon which they feed covers the
whole of northern Alaska and they
reach it by burrowing through the
snow with their deeply cleft hoofs. A
swift reindeer can make $50 miles day
under favorable conditions, and ~
miles an hour is a fair average rate of
speed drawing a load of 800 pounds.
The average price of the reindeer is
$40.
In order to teach the Alaskan Eskimo
the art of handling the reindeer, expert
enced Lapland and Siberian herders,
with their families, have been employed
by the government at a salary of $27 per
month and food. The government sta
ton is at PIT. Clarence. The reindeer,
besides furnishing transportation, pro-
vides food, clothing, house, furniture,
implements, weapons and harness to the
natives, and to the white inhabitants
reindeer clothing is the most servicable.
