 expected that Miss Sartoris would marry an American, her name being connected with that of Timothy Michaels, of New York. But though these seemed to be good foundation for the runor, it was only rumor, and when the official announcement of the engagement did not come the public soon fors ct about the rumor.
 This fair American has had courtiers by the score from both Europe, and America. She is equally at home, and equally well known, in the drawing rooms of Washington and London, and has been leader in the society of both cities. She is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, and is q tall, graceful brunette, taking her charac- ter of face and figure from the family of her father rather than from the Grants.
 The announcement of her engage ment is made by her mother, and so must be accepted as authentic. WRIGHT A PATTERSON

balloon, he says, is the safest of air. ships. He has travelled over the sur- face of almost all of continental Eu- rope. He made one voyage from Prague to the Baltic, and in another he sailed with his balloon from .Leipsic to Russia. In 1893 while at Marseilles he took up Victor Hugo in balloon and the two were car ried out for some distance over the open sea. The daring navigator has made nearly 1000 ascents and has been patronized by all the crowned heads of Europe. He has breast ful of decorations given him for his courage by more than half the mon archs of Europe. He has founded schools of aerostatics, exhibited at numerous expeditions and is proba- bly the most successful aeronaut in the world. He is now in his forty second year.

visitors attention. The United States is not represented by special gov ernment building, but American ex- hibitors occupy large section of the main exposition buildings, and espe- cially of machinery hall. In this build ing the exhibitors from this country outrank those of any other nation ex- cepting Great Britain, both in num- bers and variety of exhibits.
 Russia has taken more prominent part in the exposition than any other of the foreign governments repre- sented, and, next to Great Britain, IS the largest exhibitor, all sections be- ing considered. For the purpose of the exposition, grant of Sl5o,OOo was made by the Russian government, and the individual exhibitors from Russia have expended probably as much more The Glasgow exposition has the distinction of being the first held in the United Kingdom which ever at tracted sufficient attention from Rus sia to cause that country to erect special government buildings. The Russian buildings cover more than two acres of ground, and are divided into four principal pavlllons, Wnlcn are devoted to agriculture, minerals, forestry and the products of the i'm peria1 estates. The four pavilions are designed in the old Russian style, and were erected by Russian workmen sent for the purpose from St. Peters burg. In addition to these four main pavilions, Russia has erected suitable buildings for display of collections of grain from all the producing sec tions of the vast empire, another for the use of the Millers' association of Russia, and a grand reception hall for the entertainment of distinguished Russian visitors, of whom a number are expected during the summer. The country has also 11,ooo square feet of space in the main exposition buildings, in which are shown various Russian industrial products. These things, in connection with Russian restaurant,

 liam Ernest of Saxe- Weimer, Germany. He is of special interest because of the fact that it was reported at one time that he had been selected by Queen Wilhe lmina of Holland as her consort. He but succeeded to the title of grand duke recently. He is the eldest son of the late hereditary Grand Duke Charles August, who died in 1894, and is now in his twenty-ffth year.
 Princess Beatrice, the prospective bride, is the youngest daughter of the late duke of Saxe-Coburg, second son of Queen Victoria, and was born April 20, 1884. Of her three sisters one is the grand duchess of Hesse, another the crown princess of Roumania, and the third the hereditary princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. Princess Be atrice is 2 highly accomplished young woman, with not an overly pretty face, but with charming ways, and is a general favorite in English court cir cles.
 The marriage, if it takes place, will further extend English influence in Flu rope so far as intermarriage of the English royal family with the nobility and royalty of other nations can do so. The prospective groom in this case is a grandson of the late Princess Sophia of the Netherlands, and is next heir to the throne of Holland. He is prac- tically the last scion of his house, as his uncle, Prince Edward, cannot suc- ceed to the title because of his mor- ganatic marriage with Lady Augusta Lennox. He is immensely wealthy, in heriting much of his fortune from his grandmother, the late Princess Sophia, and is a liberal patron of German arts and literature.

 Our warships are typically Ameri- can, and they have been christened by typically American women. At the present time Miss Helen Deshler, of Columbus, O., is the heroine of the hour, for to her was granted the hon or of christening the battleship Ohio.
 Gov. Nash, upon whose shoulders fell the task of selecting some. one to name the new ship, might have looked for much longer time and then have failed to find any oe Ohio's daughters more typically.. American than is Miss Deshler. She is as yet but schoolgirl, not past 16 years Of age, but she is leader in the young element of Columbus society, and be- cause of her relationship with Gov. Nash, and the social prominence such relationship has given her, she is well known all over Ohio.
 The selection of Miss Deshler was more as tribute to the daughter of Gov. Nash than because of any rela- tionship existing between himself and the young lady. The governor was blessed with but one daughter, and she died a few years ago. During her lifetime she was fairly worshiped by the father, and she and Miss Deshler were almost constant companions. It was due to this friendship that Miss Deshler was selected to christen the Ohio. She is a daughter of William G. Deshler, of Columbus, and a cousin of Mrs. Babcock, Gov. Nash's step daughter.

Russian band, Russian choir, etc., give to the exposition remarkable dis play from the czar's country.
 Among the other countries repre- sented, Canada makes fine display of her agricultural resources. From every one of the Canadian provinces is shown some distinguishing feature, but western Canada contributes the best of the agricultural display, by which it is hoped to attract large number of immigrants. British Co., Iumbia leads in the exhibit of Cana dian minerals, and the Kootenay gold and coal fields are given special att tention.
 Japan shows a magnificent display of the products of that far eastern country, and her buildings are of the picturesque Japanese architecture.
 The main exposition buildings are constructed in the Spanish renais- sance style of architecture, but have many striking oriental features, which add a brightness of color which ig added to by the variety afforded by the construction of the various for eign government buildings, all follcw- ing the peculiar style of architecture common to the. country which they represent.
 Wood and steel are both utilized in the construction of the main buildings. It was the original intention to con- struct them almost entirely of steel, but the rise in the price of that ma- terial necessitated a change to timber for considerable portions, which was done without detriment to the gen. eral effect in any way.

Some Women About Whom the World Has Something to Say

elry is an uncared for luxury. She is described by those knowing her as a woman with one dress, a cheap, black one, dirty straw hat as head GOV ering, with absolutely nothing that would distinguish her from thousands of other Boer women living on the veldt.
 But beneath rough exterior there beat a true patriot heart. When the war came she followed her husband into the field, and remained by his side until both were captured by Gen. Roberts. She cooked his meals, nursed the sick and wounded Boer soldiers, and lent encouragement to their arms by her presence ane cheerfulness. At St. Helena she is a voluntary prisoner, having asked to be allowed to accom- pany her husband. It is said that her insanity is caused by her great men, tai distress during the war, and the sufferings of her husband.

 In this busy age of the world a cradle in which prince of the house of Napoleon has slept, means but lit tie to the world at large. When the modest gift was made few days ago Paris applauded for day or two, and then quickly forgot all about the cradle, the prince and the ex-empress. To Paris under republican rule the mean much to the aged mother who presented it. Her son was the idol at whose shrine she worshiped all the years of his life, and for whom, since his tragic death, she has never ceased to mourn. He was born March Is, 1856, and with his mother passed through all the stirring scenes attending the downfall of the second French empire. He was with her when she escaped from the royal palace and fled to Eng land at night. When her husband died throne, the grief-stricken mother cen tered all her great affection upon the son, and his death in 1879 was blow from which she has never fully recoy- cred.
 Ex-Empress Eugenie is now in her seyenty-sixth year, and resides quietly at her home in Chiselhurst, England, near which place the body of her son is buried.

January closed at 741kc. To-night's figures Were
half cent under Mondays. after the market had
time shown 1lsc over Monday. There was
enormous buying By private wire houses. and the
popular view is that much Of IT was for Wall
Street account. Ore concern Counselman. took at
least 100000 bushels. There very heavy profit
taking by other concerns which had been prominent
in starting the advance-Wrenn, Barrell, Raymond.
Pynchon and others. There has been talk for two
days OF this being a wheat advance started by
Gates and his coterie. 1t has been fact never
theless, that there has been enormous volume Of

There has been more business in the wheat pit in
the last three days than IN any week in three
months Primary receipts to-day small, 6lO,-

seaboard claims only eix loads. Foreigners have
followed our advance pretty well but American
prices have kept just out Of reach. Liverpool to-
day I'd TO ID higher on spot. The Argentine
Agricultural Minister estimates the exportable
wheat surplus this year ar 65OOO.OOO bushels The
