HAS CROSSED DARKEST AFRICA November's List of Happy Brides and Grooms. OTHER NEWSY TOPICS ————— The first international marriage of the coming year will be that of Count von Goetzen, military attache of the German embassy and Mrs. May Stanley Lay, and since the announcement of their engage- ment, a week ago in The Star, society has been busy discussing the beauty and amia- bility of the bride-elect, and hearing with great astonishment of the wonders done for geographical science by the gallant Ger- man soldier, whose modesty prevented him from appearing here in the role which he has so proudly won—that of an intrepid and Mrs. Lay. successful explorer. Count von Goetzen in- herited great wezlth and social position, two factors which would go far toward completing the ambition of the average in- dividual, but they were only for him a means to an end. In 1893 he determined upon an expedition through central Africa, with the purpose of exploring the com- pletely unknown country between Lake Albert Edward and Tanganyika lake. Ear- lier explorers had surmised the existence of an active volcano in this territory, Ru- anda, the people of which are so numerous and savage that Stanley wrote he did not dare to penetrate its interior. With these two aims in view, Count von Goetzen, at his own expense, fitted out an expedition and started from the German east African coast with two white men, fellow scientists, 50 black soldiers, 550 black porters and two Indian elephants. After a march of four mcnths and a half, during which sickness from smallpox, scarcity of water and attacks from hostile natives, were some of the hardships endured, the Kagera river, one of the source rivers of the Nile, was reached, and the frontier of the powerful kingdom—Ruanda—a moun- tainous country, 7,000 feet ubove the sea. After terrible marches, Lake Kiva was reached. Its northern bank is the Kirunga volcano, 13,000 feet high; its smoke and flame reflected on the placid waters of the lake. The beauty of the lake and the wonders of the immense crater, indemni- fied the count and his party for all the hardships they had endured. As the great caravan was then midway in the dark con- tinent, with all well and 15,000 cartridges among the stores, Count von Goetzen, in- stead of retracing his path to the east coast, determined to push on to the west coast. ‘The “great forest,” whose northern parts were first crossed by Stanley in his march to see Emin Pascha, were crossed by the Goetzer party in two and a half months. Thirty men died from starvation on this perilous journey. Nine months after leav- ing the Indian ocean, the Congo river was reached, and two and a half months later the Atlantic ocean. European geographical circles had lost sight of the expedition in this Jong time, and when the telegram an- neuncing its arrival at the mouth of the Congo was received, it created great sen- sation. Count von Goetzen was made a n.edalist and honorary member of several Beographical societies, and published later a handsomely illustrated volume of his travels. Count von Goetzen’s family will be repre- sented at his marriage by his sister, a ycung lady who will be here to spend Christmas. The count has but recently re- turned from a moose hunting trip in Cana- da, and is anxious to see as much as possi- ble of the United States before returning to Gerfnany, and therefore the wedding trip will be to California, where nearly two months will be spent. The couple will sail early in March for Europe, and will go at ouce to their residence in Berlin. BALSTER. The remains of JOHN P.
