is DR.. Sheldon Jackson DR.. Jackson
is one of the best known men in Alas
ka. He is home missionary there and
has been for many years. He was for
merly moderator of the Presbyterian
general assembly of the United States.
His attention was first attracted to the
usefulness Of the reindeer as a burden
bearer and as food while on a visit to
Siberia in 1890, and since then he has
been active and successful in getting
the government to extend his work.
The number of reindeer now in Alaska
is estimated at several thousand.
Lieutenant e. z. Bertholf of the
United States revenue cutter service,
who has just been sent by the govern
ment to Siberia to inspect reindeer
herds there with a view to purchasing
them for transportation to Alaska, has
had much experience in arctic waters.
He is one of the three officers of the
revenue cutter service who so bravely
brought aid in 1898 to the 200 whalers

world lately learned, even English roy
alties are mortal. and the good wishes
of his subjects are not likely to prolong
the life of his majesty when the last
call comes.
1t is, at any rate, some comfort to the
WellWishers of the dynasty that now
reigns in Britain to know that they are
of long lived and prolific stock. For
two generations at least the succession
in a straight line Is assured, and it
seems likely that the present royal
family of the eight little island will
continue to reign until some change
takes place in it's form Of government.
The present heir apparent to the Brit
lsh throne Is George Frederick Ernest
Albert, duke of Cornwall and York,
who when he assumes the reins Of gov
ernment will be known as George v.
He was born on June 8, 1865, at Marl-
borough House, the London residence
Of the former Prince of Wales.
The Duke of Cornwall and York Is
not yet the Prince Of Wales, and refer
ence to him as such is somewhat pre-
mature That title does not descend

eign. but is conferred on him by royal

having been the Duke of Clarence who
died in 1892.
At the time of the death of the Duke
of Clarence he was affianced to Prin-
cess May of Teck. and soon thereafter
rumor connected the names of the prin-
cess and Prince George. Queen Nicto-
ria heartily approved of the match, and
the young couple We're married on July
6, 1893. They have four children
three sons and daughter-Prince Ed
ward, Prince Albert, Princess Victoria
| and Prince Henry.
Common report has it that the Duke
of York before his marriage to Princess
May was morganatically united TO a
daughter of an English admiral. If
this marriage really occurred, it was
invalid in the eyes of English law, and
it was automatically suppressed. In
justice to the duke, however, it must
be said that prior to the announcement
of his espousal to Princess May the
archbishop of Canterbury proclaimed
from the steps of the Chapel Royal
that there was no ecclesiastical or le-
legal obstacle to the union.
The Duke of York has been known
as ''the sailor prince of England, for
he was educated for the royal navy and
has served in it for many years. He
entered the navy with his older broth
er in 1877. He began as cadet and
advanced through all the grades in reg
ular succession. In 1899 he obtained
his first command, torpedo boat, and
ais latest commission was as command
er of II. NJ. S. Crescent.
The heir apparent is about D feet e
inches in Height, but he has not the
kingly appearance of his royal father.
He wears full beard, in accordance
with the English naval custom. In his
manner he is kindly, gentle and unas-
suming, and although he has high
sense of the responsibilities of his po-
sition his general appearance is not
that generally ascribed to one born in
| the purple. In fact, 'the divinity that
doth hedge a king" is conspicuously
absent about the heir apparent to the
throne of Great Britain and India. He
bears striking resemblance to his first
cousin, the car of Russia.
The eldest son of the Duke of York is
a happy, healthy youngster of 612 who
does not let the fact that there are only
two lives between him and the throne
stand in the way of his thorough en-
joyment of existence. He is typically
English in appearance, sturdy, blue
eyed and light haired, with beautiful
complexion. His good looks are shared
by his two brothers and their sister.
Prince Albert is just over years Of
age, Princess Victoria is not quite 4,
while the baby Of the family, Prince
Henry, will celebrate the first anniver-
sary of his birth in March.

Here and there a vessel tossed
about, or rose and sank on the
swell in an effort to reach the
harbor. One of the Lake Mich

of the mouth of the Chicago

polluting the air with a cloud of
black smoke. Far below, and
stretching away along the lake

tancies For Spring That Have Won

The dropping hats viii be much seen
in the spring.
Gowns are made long on the shoul-

long on the shoulders, or the shoulders
are trimmed.
Tucks will be very much in evidence
the coming spring and summer
1t is really too early to tell whether
the furore for gold will run over into
another season. We must wait and see
if we feel gold when the summer days
come. Cravats are seen on the new
cloth gowns.
Cashmeres will be popular the COM
ing spring, and all the women at Nice
and Monte Carlo are wearing the light
pastel shades in cloth and the pale
pinks, blues and beiges, as usual.
Mixed cloths are very much seen
that is to say black with a liberal pep
pering of white, gray with white and

For slender women nothing can be

THE SNOW BLOCKADES.
Railroad SIen Down East Are Thor
OughIy Disgusted.
(Bangor Commercial.l


Railroad men ara now the most dis
gustsd people in Maine. They thought
that they were all through with the
struggle with the snowdrirts some days
ago and now to have the thing all over
again is disappointing, Wednesday was
the worst day yet and nothing ran on
time. The accident on the Greenville
branch of tns Bangor and Aroostook de-
layed all trains on Thursday.
The Maine Central to the west has been

the drifts are bigger than ever and moth

s which is supposed to arrive hers from
st. John At II. 80 p. m. did not appear In
this city until the witohing hour of a.
m. There was q freight train of the
iron at Harvey and that caused part Of
the delay.
The worst case of so near and yet so far
that has been heard of for q long time
was train 100 from bar HArbor which is
due here at II l5 p m. Things went all
right and the engineer made bis running
time up as far as Writings hill and there
he ran the pilot into a drift that was
packed down as hard as the wind could
blow it. They tried honestly and well to
get through but it was no use and the
train just settled down and stayed right
there out In the fields back of Brewer un-
til nine O'Clock Thursday morning when
they dug her ont and brought her into
Bangor.
When she had let out her cross and
sleepy passengers she was sent right back
over the line again and the consequence
was that train ll2 was just nifty minutes
late into bangor Thursday afternoon

But the Aroostook people weren't so

the folks that we're bound for tna festivi-

WHERE KINGS ARE BURIEn.
Westminster Gazette

'
England Is almost the only country in
Europe which does not possess recog
nizsu resting place for the remains OF its
royal family. The kings and queens Of
England are buried at Westminster,
Windsor, Hanover, Winchester and Can
terDury. Spain, which pays perhaps most
attention 60 matters or ceremony has the
finest vault for Its royalty. It's kings rest
in the Pantheon, which is part OF the
Es curial, built by Philip the monk king.
Hard by is the Pantheon de los Infantes,
in whioh repose the remains of infant
princes of the royal house. Phillip v.
and Ferdinand vi are the only mon
arohs who are buried elsewhere. The
Czars of Russia since Peter the Great
with one exception, are buried in the
Cathedral Fortress of Peter ana Pau, at
st. Petersburg.
The kings OF Holland lie not in the
splendid and modern capital OF The
Hague, but amid the rural simplicity OF
the little town OF Delft They are buried
in the Nieuwe kerk there. Austria, on
the other hand, revels in splendor. The
Capuohin Church of Vienna contains 105
metal cottins OF the Austrian royal family
some OF them OF solid silver. This has
been thelr place of burial since 1919.
Most Of the German royal family are
buried IN the DomSirche st Berlin,
though some rest at Potsdam. The Dom
kirohe contains the tombs of eighty OF the
ancestors OF the Ger man Emperor, inoluu-
ing that of the Great Elector. The tombs
of the Swedish royal family rival those of
the Dutch In simplicity. The kings of
Sweden, since the Gays Of Gustavus
Adolphus, have been buried In ths Rid
darholms Church at Stockholm.
