Imperial Prince w. D. Hadfeld takes the
helm with the order in better shape than
any of his predecessors, but has an oppor-
tunity to do lots of good work, and from our
acquaintance with him we have no DOUBT
that ne will make his administration
grand success. He was a charter member

identified with the work OF the

Palace he was chosen imperial kadi by
unanimous vote and advanced at the san

basha. At Louisville he received the unan-
imous vote for the highest office In our

approach him the same as he could his two
predecessors.
