TOKIO. Japan. Jan. I. Tbe next era-
prcss of Japan has ben selected, and the
young lady is already In tratetos. It has
been decided that the prince imperial shall
be married at the earnest possible mo
ment, and as soon as the details of his
wedding can be settied, the fact will be
announced to the irorii The highest offi
cials of the Japan occ governraent are sow
considering the matter, preparations are
being made to celebrate the -wedding on
the grandest scale, and -within & abort
time the young prtnoe and his bride will
te d scusced In every capital of the world.
Today practically nothteg Is knows about
either of them, and. K was to learn all
that possibly oouM be ascertained con
cerning the wedding ad the contracting
parties that I want today with letters from
the American minister to the household
department of the emperor, inside the
gr cards of the Imperial pataee, to have an
Interview with Baron Sannoralya, the
grand master of oeremoaies to bis impe-
: rial majesty.
Armed with a legation passport and with
two of the fastest and gwellest of tbe Jin
rlksha. runners as my human steeds, I
dashed oier the two great moats which
separate the holy of holies from tbe rest
of the city, went by the officials in livery
at the gates with the aid of my papers
and was soon in the presence of tbe man
who. more than all others, has to do with
tho court ceremonies and the private life
of the emperor and bis family.
Head ef tbe HeHBebeld.
This Is Baron Sannomiya, who for years
j has been at the bead of the household de-
partment of hie majesty, and who today
knows more about the imperial family
than any other man in Japan. The baron
speaks English fluently, and it was In this
tongue that our conversation was oon-
ducted. He talked very freely about the
pr.nce Imperial and bU affianced.
V e were talking almost under tbe shad
ow of the emperor's apartments, and as
vre discussed the wedding and its ceremo
!ps, I could not help contrasting the
marriage which the prince imperial will
have with that which his father bad when
he was still, to a large extent, a part of
the old Japan. Such an Interview would
fcave been impossible then. It would bavo
probably caused the death of both myself
ard Baron Sannomiya. for at that time,
about thirty years ago, his majesty was
! re ered as a god by tbe people. It was
treason to utter his name aloud, and la
writing It a letter was always left out
from reverence. Then none but bis wives
and his highest ministers ever saw bis
fare. He was penned up In his palace at
Kioto, and when be went out it was in a
cli-se'y-rurtalned car drawn by bullocks.
Now the emperor goes everywhere. He
13 the real ruler of the country, and both
rumsclf and the empress are often seen
by tho better classes -of Japan. When tbe
emperor was married, the empress, ac
cording to the then custom, shaved nor
eyebrows and blackened her teeth, so
that they shone like varnished ebony.
Showed Devotion, to Hnaband.
This is still done in the country dls-
i tricte of Japan, and is supposed to show
the wife's devotion to her husband, in
that she wishes to make herself so unat
tracthe that no one else win want her.
The empress dtosouithwted tbe pr&etksa, it
ie said, after a few years, and It is
through her that tbe custom has been
largUy abolished in Japan.
Firmerly, too, no Japanese wife would
h&& thought of eating at the same time
w Ji her husband. I have been told that
the emperor often sits down at the same
to'le with his wife and that they fre
quently cat together. Both the emperor
and the empress are now, in many wayfc,
the same as the other great rulers of tbe
evrtn, and this will be the case with tha
rr nre imperial and his wife.
Before I discuss the wedding Itself let
me ' c "! j ou something of the Imperial par
ties who are by re to be joined in wedlock.
I Tey are his royal highness Prince Yoshl-
r lo, the only son of the emperor, and
Tr v cess Sada, the lfc-year-old-daughter of
Prince Kujo, the head of one of the five
i ist families of Japan. The prince im
perial was SO years old on tbe last day of
last Aupust, and -was of age at 18, or tw.o
years ago. His father, the emperor, was
married when be was only IS, but tbe
crown prince has always been in delicate
hi altb, and it was probably for this reason
that his marriage has been deferred until
r-w, As It is, the greatest apprehensions
are entertained concerning him. His
lungs are very weak and the least excite
ment seems to affect bis health.
Has CeBHMptIeB.
He lias consumption, I am. toM, and is
almost constantly under the care of the
' do-' ors. This has been the oase for the
greater part of bis life. Not long ago
Marquis Ito and others of the emperor's
adiiStrs wanted the boy to take a trip
ar und the world and to nave him spend
soma time In the United States and Eu-
r pes hut the doctors objected, saying
V at he might die on the way. It is hoped
ihit 1 is marriage may so better his health
trat he v. ill be able to make the tour.
r.o crown prince, or the prince Impe-
r as l o should be oanea, is not the real
i 1 trie, empress of Japan, although he
i Is , r son by adoption. His majesty has
1 to him a docen secondary wives,
v. M i. omo from the noblest families of the
, -e and whose blood is blue with the
g'vi ... lurs of a thousand years. These
w - n of late are never mentioned In the
ri. - s if tbe court, and no one knows
a'-'v . 'us of them. They exist, however.
1 :io k. pt in order that his majesty
msy :. t l without an betr. The prince's
real r"o Vr is Madame Tanaglwara, one
V eo court ladles, the empress not
ha-s. a.- 1 la son herMtf. The prince, in
fu -t, is the only eon his majesty has had
"o has Hied, and If he should die, the
leu" ee in oase the mince has no
1 b Y re that time, will have to go to
p- nee who is not very closely related
t ve ifiperor On this account all the
gtia'or care is taken of tbe young man's
! h a h at 1 the anxiety concerning his
Ixnarriapo Is intense
Tho rmrreps, as I have said, has made
the pr no,, her son by adoption. She Is
rery f nd of him taking the liveliest In
terest in bis wedding and in everything
that relates to him and his bride.
Popular and Capable.
The oung prince is popular in Toklo. He
rae been educated in tbe nobles' school
end has shown himself as smart as other
bovg of his age. He has bad a modern
ew iMon, as well as the old Japanese
p u ? and knows something of German
ml Engiien. nut not enough to speak them.
He ib a fairly good French scholar and oos
ers s in that language with foreigners.
He is -iff able and diplomatic and will make.
It Is thought, a goon emperor.
The w truing will join two of the oldest
fami is of Japan, or, rather, it will bring
branches of the same family together, for
the pr nee and his bride are cousins. H6
tuocK 1p perhaps, a shade bluer than hers,
a though ehe can trace her ancestors
fb't'ier back than any sovereign who now
! e up -n a throne In Christendom. Princess
i? ,u; Kujo is the third daughter of Prince
hm a descendant of the famous Fujiwara
v. hli h was tbe controlling power in
. r from tho seventh to the eleventh
c-: yr During those years the emperors
v t r lit le more than puppets, managed bj
t . Ft V warms, who made their sons the
c v f onicial of tbe realm and strengthened
) -o)d on the power by marrying their
I &l putt's to the emperors. Tbe daughters
were la these cases often the power behind
the throne. By the laws of Japan the em
peror must be a descendant of this family,
or, rather, he must marry into one of five
noble families of Japan, all of -which have
oerae frem the ancient Fujlwaras. The
princess mother was a sister of the late
empress dowager, which makes her a
cousin of her future husband.
The princess' genealogical tree thus dates
back to about A. D. (SO. The prince Im
perial can do as well, and go her about
1309 years better, and if any unpleasant
ness happens in the family, can taunt her
with not knowing her grandfathers further
back than a thousand years. His ancestry,
according to Japanese history, begins with
Jimmu Tenno, who ruled Japan 6G0 B. C,
or long before Rome became an empire.
The Imperial Bride.
But let me tell you something about this
young lady who Is to be the future em
press of Japan. "We should call her a girl
rather than a lady. If she were In the
United States. She Is only 15, and last
year she was trotting about on her little
Japanese shoes to and from the empresses'
school. She was In the third grade of

the high school there, where she was told
one day that the emperor had picked her
but to be the wife of the prince Imperial,
and that she must leave the publicity of
her present method of education and be
taught for the next few months at home.
I suppose, however, like any good Japan
ese girl would do, she smiled and con
sented, without a murmur. Her parents
celebrated her leaving the school by giving
a dinner of thanks to her teachers. The
Princess Sada insisted that her classmates
should also be invited, and they came to
the number of 20.
From one of the native Japanese papers
I have had translated some interesting de
tails of tbe school life and studies of Prin
cess Sada. She entered the school in the
kindergarten classes, wa6 always regular
in her attendance and uniformly high In
her studios. She loved her school and was'
a general favorite with her fellows. She
usually walked to and from school, except
in very bad weather, and engaged in all
the plays. She has always been robust and
strong, and her good health is one of tne
most Important considerations as to her
marriage. Just now she Is most carefully
watched and urged not to do anything that
may endanger her health. Her studies on
this account have been lessened and her
hours of exercise and rest have been in
creased. Marked Poctlo Ability.
The princess is well advanced for her
age. When she left school her chief studies
were Japanese and Chinese literature, unl-,
versal history, French, mathematics, pen
manship and drawing. She has dropped
everything but her history, geography and
French and Is devoting more time to her
music She now has private tutors, who
come to her house to teach her. The prin
cess is noted for her poetic ability. She
writes beautifully, and her cherry-tree effu
sions are said to be especially fine. In
both music and poetry she will vie with the
present empress, who is noted as one of
the most beautiful writers of Japanese po
ems. Her imperial majesty displayed re
markable poetic ability when she was as
young as the Princess Sada, and her son
nets are now celebrated in the Japanese
literature of the age.
Baron Sannomiya tells me that it has not
been decided what the wedding ceremony
will be, nor whether It will be after the
style of old Japan, or a new form got
ten up by the advisers of the Imperial
household and the emperor to suit the new
conditions. If it is according to the old
terms, her royal highness and the prince
will dress for it In Japanese costume, the
princess wearing about 13 silk garments,
one over tbe -other, and going through
several changes of clothes before the wed
ding is accomplished. In ordinary Japan
ese weddings rib ring is used and no prom
ises are made by the pair as to fidelity,
obedience, etc The wedding consists of
tbe drinking of a number of cups of Japan
ese wine or sakl together n a certain way.
It takes place at the house of the parents
of the groom, and in this case it will be
performed In the palace of the emperor.
The rules of etiquette in such events are
very minute, and everything must be done
just so. The bride gets the first drink ana
the groom follows after. The cups In which
the. wine is served are very small, and the
princess will drink three oT tnem before the
prince will be served with the same num
ber. After this there. Is more drinking in
about the same way, the bride always be
ing served first
Baibaad First Afterward.
This Is In contrast to the custom after
marriage, where the husband is always
served before the -wife. At the beginning
of the wedding ceremonies, the bride Is
dressed in white, but when the ceremony
is over she retires and changes her cos
tume for one -which Is a- present from h.r
parents-ln-law. At the same time the
groom also changes his attire .for one
which has been given to him by the parents
of the bride.
Tbe wedding of the prince imperial, if it
is carried out after the old methods, will
be about as above described, but 'the ban
quet and reception which follow will be
In European style. The prince Imperial
and her imperial highness. Princess Sada,
will dress In foreign costume, and will act
at these celebrations just as Is the custom
at tbe great courts of Europe.
It may be, however, that a modified cere
mony of marriage, a sort of a cross be
tween our ceremony and the old Japanese,
will be adopted. In this case the services
will be performed before the Shinto Shrine
in the imperial chapel, and one of the high
est of the Shinto priests will officiate.
But how about the bride's trousseau?
"Well, no one knows just what it will con
sist of as yet, but the preparations are
going bravely on. The silk mills of Japan
are at work producing their finest stuffs
for the princess stuffs that -will stand
alone and are seldom seen outside of the
empire. The empress herself has become
Interested in the matter, and the costumes
are being made by the Imperial dress
makers In tbe palace of her majesty. The
cutting and! fitting Is largely under the
direction of the noble ladies of the court,
tho sewing being done by the -workwomen.

The hats and bonnets are being made by
her majesty's "own milliners, and a great
part of the trousseau will be of Japanese
materials. At the same time many things
are being Imported from Paris,, London,
and Berlin, so that altogether the bride's
outfit will be something wonderful oven
for these times.
As to Its cos,t, no one can tell. Prince
Kujo himself Is not very rich, but he has
given his daughter 100,000 yen, or ?50,000,
for the purpose, and to this the emperor
has added 400,000 more. This sum is equal
to about $250,000 in gold, and it certainly
should bo enough to cover the expenses of.
the imperial orange blossoms. If it should
not, the princess can Arsv further on his
majesty, for he has Just directed that a
present of 700,000 yen, .equal to ?350,000 in
gold, be given to her out of the estate of
the late empress dowager, who was her
aunt. This makes her allowance for trous
seau, pin money; etc., considerably more
than half a million In gold, and she cer
tainly should be able to buy some pretty
things for that.
As to presents, starting out with these
from his majesty, the Imperial bridal cou
ple will have no end of them. They will
come in every shape and form from all
parts of the empire and' from high
and low. There will be cranes and turtles
of solid gold and solid silver, -without num
ber. These things are emblematic of
longevity and are very common as wed
ding gifts In Japan. The poor will give
as well as the rich, and If the prince and
princess, are anything like the emperor
and empress, they will be delighted to re
ceive any expression from, even the poor
est of their subjects.
In the meantime a brand-new house Is
being erected for his imperial highness,
and the two can begin their housekeeping
-with everything spick and span at the
start. The ground Aas already been brok
en and the materials are being prepared.
"Will Cover Three Acres.
It "will be three stories high, and will
cover three acres, or almost as much
ground as our capltol at Washington. It
will cost about a million and a half dol
lars In gold. The architects and designers
have been working on It for some time,
and they have made the plans of a pal
ace which is like no other In the world.
It is a combination of foreign and Japan
ese architecture, ponstructed "with a view
of -withstanding the earthquakes which
are so common in Japan. Its framework
is to be of steel and iron, so -fitted to
gether that it cannot break. The steel
and Ironwork Is now being made at Pitts
burg, the architect having recently re
turned from the United States, where he
went to place orders for Its construction.
I am told that about 4000 tons of steel
and Ironwork have been ordered, and that
It is almost ready for shipment, it will be
transported by rail to the Pacific and
thonce by steamer to Japan.
The prince imperial has for several
years had his own establishment, entire
ly separate and apart from that of the
emperor. He has his own servants and
secretaries and holds. In fact, a little
court of his own. He will probably take
his bride to his present palace and live
there until the new palace Is completed.

It has been -wittily said of the martyrs
that they -were people who ware caaaoc
aded whale they hved and were e&aon
ized when they were dead. The sa
thing might be said of many a wobhw,
who has been cannonaded by eenewes
and criticisms while she lived and can
onized as a saint after death.
Husbands don't mean to ha snail and
selfish. But they can't understand the
sufferings -which cotne with debilitating
drains, irregularity, infiannnatkm, or ul
ceration of the sensitive female ecgaas.
Thousands of bajroy -women ay trib

lives effected by the use of Dr. Plarce'3
Favorite Prescription. It is not a ewe
all. It has a specific purpose, hi the cur
ing of diseases peculiar to -women. It
cures these diseases perfectly.
Sick -women can consult Dc Pterea
free by letter. Each letter is treated as
a sacred confidence, privately read and
promptly answered. All answers are in

"My health is much better aiaeelfeave feera
using Dr. Pierce's medkfaea," wrnes Mm, Ctta
Brooks, of Martin, Fraaklia Co.,, Ga. "After
having a miscarriage in 1895, I mfiered with a
pain in my left stde and a lingering cough which,
grew worse and worse. I used Whe of C ,

spring I got past doing anything and my bus
band went to the drug store and called ibr Wtee

Pierce's Favorite Prescription as better, so ha
bought one bottle. I began to take K ae areried
in the pamphlet wrapped around the bottle.
Tne dooic sata u the disease was
with coupch to take Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and 'Favorite
Prescription ' alternately.
Mr Brooks got the 'Golden
Medical Discovery and I
took It as directed. The
cough left me at once and
I got better so rapidly my
husband was astonished at

six bottlea of the two

to pneumatic tires is that of the valve shear
ing off against the rim, thus necessitating
tbe purchase of a new
tire. This is caused by
the tfre "creeplg" or
moving around the wheel,
and is common to all tires
which are cemented to
the rim.
It cannot occur in the
Dunlep Detachable Tire,
which is held on tbe rim
tsaotxibz. by inflation, and decs
not depend upon treacherous cement.
The Dunlop Tire can be put on and taken
off without tools ; just use your hands.
