Se Ce bn nae en in LETTERS ABOUT CHRISTMAS. Congressional Committee Learning Much of the Captain. Capt. Christmas should change his name to something net quite so sug- gestive of joy and good cheer. The tes- timony submitted to the congressional committee which is investigating the charges of bribery in connection with the sale of the Danish West Indies is enabling that committee to learn much about the notorious captain. United States Minister L. S. Swenson, at Co- penhagen, writes to the committee as follews “In view of Mr. Christmas’ character and his absurd and contradictory ‘state- ments regarding his alleged connection with the negotiations for the cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States, I attached no importance ‘to his representations set forth in tthe enclosed Jette} opi “Few persons ‘believe that the negoti- ati were in any ‘way tnfluenced by unofficial agents or ‘that suggestions of corrupt means were ever made or ccuntenaced by: ‘ither government. The Danish prime minister, Mr. Hovring, is thought to have been indiscreet in his dealings with Mr. ‘Christmas; and oth- er individuals are criticised for having had anything ‘to do with ‘the twe ad- venturers mentioned above; ‘but beyond that the matter is not ‘taken ‘seriously. Nevertheless, ‘the fact that such wide publicity has been given to the scandal causes .a feeling of humiliation among the Dane and ‘rather strengthens the opposition ‘to-cession:” retary White, at London, writes: With regard ‘to Capt. Christmas, T may say that I consider ‘his connection h ‘the question ceased when he had ied out his undertaking ‘to ‘bring about an interview between ithe Danish minister of foreign :affairs and myself. It is untrue ‘that I asked ‘him for “in- structions’ as ‘to ‘the manner in which I should broach the question to the min- pr, and ais other statements as to ations with me are equally de- of foundation, except that I did on to him ‘that the minister ‘had hinted at a price between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, because he (the captain) seemed to ‘be of the opinion ‘that the Danish government would mot sell ‘the isiands for $3,500,000." VEIN OF ECCENTRICITY. Gossip About the Royal Family of Sweden. Gossip of royalty seems to be a Ta- vorite subject -with a certain class of writer: A correspondent of ‘the New York Times has the following concern- the royal family of Sweden and Norwa heir is a vein of eccentricity Tun- ning through the whole royal family, in which one detects ‘the blending of the Gascon and plebian bloed with the blue blood of princes and the iicy clime of auroreal Sweden. Prince Oscar mar- r‘ed Eva Munch, one of the queen's la- dies, and -was, ‘in consequence, obliged to renounce his ‘birthright and assume the modest title of Prince Bernadotte. As a sort of compensation, the queen of the aristocratic house of Nassau has announced that the pair shall inherit her entire fortune, accumulated by her uncle from the gaming tables of Weis- baden. Both the ‘king and the crown yrince fe2l yxy angry about this, but the queen is obdurate, and, as a result, another family feud has separated wife and husband and heir apparent. “And, as if to add to their troubles, another son, Prince Eugene, is reported to be enamored of a beautiful American belle! The turbulence of the aristocfa- cy, the mesalliances of their splend . and—the red flag in the aristo- cratic old capital! Truly, the Berna- dottes must have learned by this time that ‘uneasy Ties the head that wears a crown,’ and that it might have been as well had Jean Baptiste remained a law lerk in suany Southern France.” MANY TOURISTS IN NORWAY. Stenmer Oscar H. Brings Large Par- ty to Copenhagen—Northern Light Expedition Sails for the Arctic. ‘The steamer Oscar IL has arrived at Copenhagen with a large party of tour- ists on board. They are viewing the town. Prof. Birkleand’s Northern Light~ex- pedition has sailed from Copenhagen. The party will spend a year at Nova Zembla and other northern stations. Two fruit steamers, built for the In- ternational Steamship company of Mo- bile, Ala., have just been launched at Arndal, Norway. WICKEDEST IN THE WORLD. Monster Trial Bears Out Thsen’s Say- ing at to Christinna. Tbsen’s well known saying that Chris- tiania was the wickedest capital in Eu- yope is borae out by the proceedings in a monster trial against some twenty keepers of baby farms, where wholesale murder of infants has been going on for the last ten or fifteen years. Several of these baby farms have private ceme- teries in gardens and fields, where the remains of the small army of tiny corpses were dug up. MORMONS OPEN DANISH TEMPLE. Three Hundred American Members of the Church Attend Dedicatory Ceremonies at Copenhangen. Three hundred American Mormons, jncluding Former United States Sen- ator Frank J. Cannon and his brother, and many American missionaries in urope, attended the dedication of the Mormon temple fn Copenhagen. ‘Three meetings have been arranged for July 6, with the object of giving impetus to Mormon missionary work in Denmark. ah lacie, 'To Search for Baldwin. w. S. Champ, secretary for the Bald- win-Ziezler Polar expedition, arrived in Christiania on Jung 18, for the purpose of organizing a relief expedition in search of Evelyn E. Baldwin, who gailéd from Norway last year. He, has charterel the Norwegian whaler Frith- jof, which hes been placed in first-class condition. It was Mr. Champ’s inten- tion to sail from Tromso about July 1. and steer direct for Franz Josef’s Land, SOCIALISTS BOYCOTT ROYALTY. Deputies Censure: for Conserting With rince. The Sccialistic party of Denmark harshly censured Deputies Jensen and Sabree for dining with Prince Chris- tian. Some time ago several German dukelets were hauled over the coals for associating with Socialists. Prosperous Scandinavians. I suppose the Norwegians and Swedes are the most prosperous of any foreign- born citizens we have in the United States. Their intelligence, industry and frugality enable them to earn better wages and to save more of their wages than the natives of any other country, net excepting the Germans. One ‘sel- dom finds a Swede or a Norwegian out of employment. You never see a Nor- wegian or Swedish tramp. Scandinavi~- ans are preferred to any other race by the employers of labor, because they are honest, sober, reliable and intelli- gent. If a census of the jails, prisons :and poorhouses were taken, the number of Scandinavians would be surprisingly small, As I told you in my letters last summer, poorhouses are unknown in Norway and Sweden, and there are no illiterates in either ‘country. If a man or woman cannot learn to read or write ft ‘is ‘because he or ‘she has forgotten how.—W. E. Curtis’ New York Letter to Chicago Record-Herald. Dr. Swensson and G. A. Collere. Dr. ‘Carl A. Swensson, president of Bethlehem college, Lindsborg, Kan., ad- vises the powers which control Gusta- yus Adolphus college against removal from St. Peter to Minneapolis. “The college would not be benefited as much as many suppose,” he says. “Gustavus Adolphus college should remember Caesar's immortal words, ‘I would rath- er be the first in Gaul than the second in Rome.’ How much do the cortem- porary colleges in the Twin Cities pros- per in the shadow of that immense and constantly-growing giant, the state uni- versity?” Sverdrup-Bjornson Cese. Jakob Sverdrup, on behalf of the fam- ily of the late Johan Sverdrup, an- nounces that his suit against Byornst- jerne Bjornson for maligning the dead rremier’s character, has been with- drawn, in response to numerous re- quests from leading men of both politi- ical parties. History will give Johan Sverdrup his true place, and it will be a high one. General Notes. Sigrid Arnoldsson’s recent appear- ace ‘In Paris exceeded all of her former triumphs there. |The famous singer found a large package of bank bills re- cently, and if no one claims the money it is her intention to present it to the attaches of the Opera Comique. Rumors of the unsafety of the Tiks- dag ‘building are circulated in Stock- holm. Tt is said that the foundation is insecure, cracks appearing in it very frequently. Hr. Beitzel, the leading manufacturer of sewing machines in Denmark, has arrived in New York. He comes to this country to patent some important in- ventions. The Norwegian newspapers are mak- ing ‘a common attack on Nye Norman- den for opposing Dr. Fjelde’s proposi- tion for a monument to the Scandinavi- ans who participated in. the Civil War. “Peaceful occu ions are more worthy than war,” says the paper, “and it there must be a monument, let it be te the Scandinavians who transformed the Northwest from a wilderness to a gar- ‘jage licenses between women are not so rare as might be expected. O. A. Overland, the historian, found an account of one in Norway in 1780 in two reliable works. In 1809 it was discov- ered that Anders Johannesen a laborer, married to a widow for eight years, was a woman. The small boys in Vartio, Norway, amused themselves by throwing snow- balls on June 13. Larvik, Norway, was visited by a dis- astrous fire on July 1. One-fourth of the business district was razed to the ground. Waldect-Rousseau, the French pre- mier, will spend some time near Falk- enberg, Sweden, fishing for salmon. The Cost of the Capitol. Senator Millard of Nebraska was tramping around the south end of the capitol with some visitors, who asked im the cost of the immense structure. “I’m, sure, IT don’t know.” answered the senator, a little disappointed for not knowing. “What did this capitol cost ate inquired he, appealing to one of the house employes near the telegraph of- fice. 7 | “On, I guess about $25,000,000," was the reply. Capt. Kennedy, the venerable capito) cuide. however, says it cost about $13,- 600,000, and he knows more about the big building, probably, than any other living man. He reckons in the cost of the terraces and the improvements in the new committee rooms, the total be- ing just about twice the expense ot erecting and equipping the library of congress, just across the reservation,— Washington Post. What's in a Name? Downe Towne—I hired a typewriter this morning. Upson Downe—Why, where is she? I don’t see her around. Down Towne—When I learned that her name was Simmons I fired her. Upson Downe—What for? Down Towne—Why, do you suppose I want my letters signed ‘‘per Simmons?” —Exchange. > a Breeches on the Wrong Man. The authorship of “Little Breeches,” written by Secretary of State John Hay, was frequently attributed to the late Brete Harte. A young lady once said to him: “T am highly pleased to meet you, Mr. Harte. I bave read all your poems, but have enjoyed ‘Little Breeches’ the most.” “Pardon me, madam,” replied Mr, Harte. “but you have put ‘a ‘Little Ereeches’ on the wrong mdan.’—New York Sun. ABOUT TURIM HOLY SHROUD. Remarkable Phot hs of the Mi- raculous Winding Sheet. — M. Vignon read a most interesting paper at the last meeting ef the Aca- demy of Sciences and _ exhibited some photographs which he had taken of the winding sheet preserved at Turin and traditionally said to be that of Christ. This winding sheet has on it certain markings printed in a brown color which when photograph- ed give a white imprint, as does a negative when printed from. These markings, therefore, act as a true negative, and M. Vignon has shown by certain and very careful experi- ments that cloth impregnated with oil and aloes, as was the winding sheet in question, will receive.an im- pression when in contact with am- moniacal vapors such as would be given off from a sweat very rich in urea, as is the case in the sweat of @ person dying a lingering and pain- ful death. i Any idea of fraud need not be con- sidered, for no one has touched this winding sheet since 1353, and no painter at that date had the skill to reproduce such an exact drawing. ‘Lhe impression of the head is excellent. The wounds produced by the crown of thorns and the marks of the blood drgps are quite obvious. The wound in the side and even the marks of the stripes produced on the back by the flagellation are also quite evident. Each of these stripes has at its end its enlargemént such as would be produced by a cord with a ball of lead at the end. It is well known that this form of: scourge was em- ployed by the Roman soldiers and such a one has been found at Pompeii, Finally, the marks of the nails in the arms are not in the palm of the hand, but show that the nails were driven through the level of the wrist. M. Vignon’s paper, says the London Lancet, has created an extreme in- terest both in the scientific and tle religious world. WHERE LIFE BEGINS. Question ‘That is in Many Respects Unanswerable. At what point does life begin? So far as regards space or time, the question is unanswerable. Only a few weeks ago it would have been said that in regard to that seemingly es- sential condition of life temperature we did know pretty nearly a superior and inferior limit. Little of life is there below the freezing or above the boiling point of water, and far’ above or below these critical points we should expect even germ life to be destroyed, says the London Telegram. When our greatest physicist, in 1871, suggested that seeds of plants might have been borne to this world in a far-distant age, the hypothesis seem- ed incredible, because the tempera- ture of space, being at least’as low as minus 140 degrees Centrigrade, would be fatal te life in any form. This is not so. Recently at the Jen- ner Institute bacteria have been fro- zen in liquid air and even in liquid hydrogen, and on the application of heat and placed in proper media have germinated. The processes of life were arrested, but the nascent life-energy was not destroyed at 200 degrees Centigrade, say, 360 degrees Fahrenheit of frost. Experiments are now being made to find whether long continuance for months or years in such cold takés away the vitalism of Democracy of Japan’s Emperor. There is no barbaric splendor about his majesty’s court, nor does he insist on fantastic forms of homage. He is just a plain individual. His guests he receives standing, and he enters freely into conversation with all. There is scarcely a subject that does not interest him or one on which he is not well in- fermed. A delightful host, it is his custom to surround himself with clever men—men who are the shining lights of their professions. Engineers, artists, musicians, writers, soldiers, scientists— very ‘class of person who has won dis- tinction ‘s welcome to the royal table, for it is one of the characteristics of his majesty that in the distribution of his favors he is thoroughly, impartial. ‘Twice a year he and the empress give a Jarge garden party, and on these occ:- sions his majesty makes himself per- sSorally known to as many persons as possible —Excnange.

In connection with the raising of cherry trees, as a stock on which pop- lar varieties are budded, the European Mahaleb cherry is pretty well known in the United States; but as a fruiting tree it is almost a stranger to almost every person. Possessing nothing but accident—a scion lost or a stray seed— rermits a plant to grow to a fruiting stage. The suit is dark black, ex- tremely small, and borne very abund- antly on the trees. Even with its plen- tifulness, the picking would prove tedi- ous after being accustomed to larger fruit. It {s of comparatively dwarf growth, and seems to thrive best in rather heavy soil, and is most in favor as a stock for planting in the Central States. It is nearly always used for sour varieties——Meehan’s Magazine. Temperance and Common Sense. There are many hopeful signs in the temperance outlook in America. It is a matter of common observation that so- cial drinking is less the rule than it was, and our strenuous economical de- velopment tends towards temperance, and even towards total abstinence. One element of encouragement is the grow- ing spirit of tolerance and practical common sense among temperance ad- vocates of our day.—Century. Saved the Baby. New Providence, Iowa, July 7th.— Little Helen Moon, the three-year-old daughter of Mr, and Mrs. E, V. Moon of this place, had a narrow escape from death. Her mother noticed she seemed to be very clumsy and complained when she was rocked. Her limbs and face were blodted badly. A doctor was summoned, but she got no better. He said she had Kidney Trouble in the worst form. Two other doctors were called in, and they agreed that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eyes being completely closed and her abdomen bloated until it was pur- ple. They bought six boxes of Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills, and she commenced to im- prove at once. She had used nine box- es before the dropsy was all gone. The treatment was continued and now she is as well as ever. Dodd@’s Kidney Pills certainly saved the little one’s life. THE NEW COUNTY SEAT. Flaxton, the Commercial Center of the Des Lacs Valley. Situated in the center of the famous Des Lacs Valley’s Flax and Wheat Belt, Flaxton is having a record-break- ing growth. During the past three years over 1,200 settlers have taken farms about Flaxton, and this year the these lowest forms of life. China the Cycl Paradise. The “Velo’—a journal devoted en- tirely to bicycling and automobiling— publishes some notes from a report addressed by the Italian consul at Tientsin to the foreign office at Rome, from which one learns thaet the para- wise of cycle manufacturers lies in China. The roads are good, the villages lie far apart, the rich are tired of sedan chairs, the poor are tired of walking, the bicycle is the ideal means of com- munication and the Chinese are tak- ing to the wheel with a passionate en- thusiasm which is rapidly making making the fortunes of the only two bicycle agents in Tientsin, who are selling machines at very nearly their weight in gold. . A Favorite of Fortune. Ian Zachary Malcolm, who will, it is said in a London dispatch,~soon mary Miss Jeanne Langtry, daughter of Mrs. Langtry, the actress, has been a member of parliament for the Stow- market division of Suffolk since 1895. He is now in his thirty-fourth year. He was educdted at Eton and Ox- ford and has seen diplomatic service at Berlin, Paris ana St. Petersburg. He was for some time one of Lord Salisbury’s private secretaries. He is the son of Colonel Edward Donald Malcolm and was born in Quebec. He is a young man of large means and is a member of several London clubs. It has been said that the futes have much in store for him. Senator Dryden’s Modesty. Senator Dryden of New Jersey has fully established a reputation for modesty and courtesy since he has been a member of the senate. As the president of one of the greatest life insurance companies in the world and a man of affairs, who is xnown in the business world as a “hustler,” the New Jersey senator might be expect- rush is even greater. The location on the Soo Line in the center of this won- derfully rich valley, with excellent wa- ter and lignite coal mines near by where coal can be had for $1.00 a ton, is an ideal one. Added to this is the fact that Flaxton is to be the county seat when the division is made. Experienced townsite men own and laid out this piace, and it promises to be even more successful than their former towns, which have been noted for their rapid growth. There are good openings tor almost every line of business. It will pay any one considering a new location to write te the First Bank of Flaxton, Flaxton, N. Dak., for full information. ——_——_—— Recommended. “Is there anything good in this book?” “Yes; the bad parts.’’—Smart Set.
