WILL CIRCLE THE GLOBE.
WILL LEAVE ON AUGUST 81
They Expect to Visit the Places Made
Most Interesting to Americans by the
Events of the Past Two Years-Will
Attend the Paris Exhibition.

Mrs. 0 S. Newell and her two
daughters, Edith and Madeline, have
laid out for themselves trip around
the world. The route is rather un-
usual one and visits many places which
the events of the past year or two have
made of paramount interest to Ameri-
cans, as we'll as covering many points
that have thus far escaped Mrs. Newell
and her daughters in their travels.
They will visit that great country
which promises to be the theaUer of
such momentous activity during the
next century, China, Japan, Corea and
Russia and the Philippines. They have
planned to reach Paris in time to enjoy
the exposition.
They expect to sail from Vancouver,
B. c., on the Empress of japan, Aug
81, for Yokohama.
They will go to Vancouver on the
Canadian Pacific railroad stopping en-
route at Baniff and Selkirk, to see the
Selkirk glacier, said to be.the grandest
in the world.
The trip from Vancouver to YOko-
hama takes only fourteen days. The
ladies intend spending three months in
Japan and will visit, with the aid of
couriers, every city and place of inter
est in the Flowery Kingdom accessible
TO the tourist. They will then go to
China and remain in that country an
indefinite time, as long as they can find
travelling and sightseeing there inter
esting and agreeable. Mrs. Newell has
learned through g missionary TO the
Celestial Kingdom that China and the
Chinese are far more interesting than
the people and the country of japan.
From China the ladies intend to visit
Corea and if it is possible and safe for
them to 90 so, will visit the Philippine
islands, or at least, go to Manila.
The interesting island of Java will
be their next stopping point; thence
they will proceed to Singapore on the
southern point of the Malay peninsula
IF it is practicable they will go
through Siam. From that country
they will go to the island of Ceylon
and then to Bombay. Mrs. Newell has
planned to spend at least two months
in India. Leaving that country in one
of the P. and O. line of steamers they
will sail through the Red sea north
ward to Greece. After sojourning in
that classic land awhile they will pro-
ceed to Constantinople, then cross the
Black sea to Odessa, sail up the Dan
ube to Buda Pesth and from there gotO
Ober-Ammergau, which they hope to
reach by next June to see the Passion
play, which will be given once week
every Sunday--during the summerof
1900. After that they will proceed to
Paris for the exposition. To COM
plete their circuit around the world,
only the-to Mrs Newell-familiar
trip across the Atlantic will then be
required.
Mrs. Newell is an enthusiastic and
constant traveller She has crossed the
Atlantic nine or ten times, and has
made visit to Honolulu. Twelve
years ago she went abroad and lived
for two years in Dresden. She has
made several European trips accom-
panied by her daughters, without other
escort, and says that they have re-
ceived only the most courteous treat
ment everywhere, and she anticipates
continuance of the same in these far off
countries they are about to visit. She
has always met great many Ameri-
cans in her travels and they are held in
the greatest esteem by the foreigners.
