On Monday morning the m.&nm«nm soda fountain at Kuhn & Cos. th and Douglas streets, will be opened for the season. This fountain was built ex- pressly for this firm. Itis of Mcx‘fan onyx and it is by far the most beautiful as well as the most expensive affairof the sort in the ‘entire west. Last season this fountain was one of the resorts of the city, as 1ts beauty is such as to make each visit to it one of pleasure. One of the charaeterists of this costly material is that one never tires of it. Not only is the fountain itself adrawing card, but the soda water, phospates, mineral waters and beverages of all kinds are of such qualities and served in such an inviting manner as to hold the iargest share of the best patronage of the city. ——e AN EXPOSITION EPISODE. An Exhibitor Called Down, “Explain,” President Page, to whose untiring zeal the success of the Colisoum show is largely due, is nothing if not a home in- dustry man, but yesterday morning his usual good temper was ruffled. He had just discovered a_display of ‘‘Bethesda Water,” shipped in from Waukesha, Wis., some 500 miles distant. A sign near by, conspicuously displayed, said: **4 carloads sold last season in Omaha.” Then Mr. Page proceeded to give the Coliseum representativo of Sherman & McConnell, the Omaha agents for Bethesda, an old time ‘‘jacking up,” and was only pacified when told that mineral water and sunshine cannot be manufactured by home industry, and that although Sherman & McConnell displayed about 7o different,_kinds of natural mineral water from all parts of the earth, yet their 10-minute headacho capsules were manufactured in their Dodge street laboratory, and sold to any one who desired a sure cure for head- ache. but They [E T — “The Madison,” (family hotel), 21st and Chicago.

Elsie Van Horne Arnheim, 17 years old, is sccking for the annulment of her marriage to Ed- ward Arnheim, her young husband. Elsie met Arnheim July 23, 1801, They were driven to the Hoffman house, where they entered into a verbal agree- ment of marriage. Thence they went to the Metropolitan hotel, where they remained two days. They afterward went through a formal ceremony of mar- riage at the city hall. Then it was that she discovered that instead of being rich, as he had represented himself, his fortune amounted to $2 He in turn learned that his wife was not an heiress, as he had supposed. A separation fol- lowed, and she went home. Edward was arrested July 29, six days after the mar- riage, on a charge of misappropriating money belonging to his employer, Samuel Cohen. Young Arnheim had been arrested four times before on charges of dishonesty. This time Re- corder Smythe sent him to the Elmira reformatory, to remain until he was 21 years old. Ho will be released in a few weeks, Since her sensational escapade Elsie has been at a boarding school. She is willing to have the marriage an- nulled, and her parents have taken the steps necessary to bring it about.

The throngs in the state buildings and the masses on the plaisance are evidence of the popular inclination. The foreign groups and the “freaks” of the Midway plaisance are the attractions above all now. In Cairo Street. All else in the Midway, which is a broad statement, 100, has been overshadowed since the opening of Cairo street, The portals of the miniature Egyptian metropolis are daily besioged by as many thousands as visit tho plaisance, for *Cairo” is an attraction most irresistible. From the exterior there is n view of the mosaue and its beautiful mina- rot, with an occasional glimpse of the love- sick mezzin, who losthis heart to an Ohio typewriter, as he is calling the followers of Mahomet to prayer. The entrance fec is a triflo, though before the pilgrin concludes 16 §s° tho—old story of cost. ing o penny to get in and & pound to get out, for Cairo has its wheels within wheels.” Yet three hours may be spent in the street without a thought of the passing time. It is no representation of any particular street, the idea carried out by the khediveal architect Being to reproduce vari- ous styles of structuves of various ages. The mosquo is a copy of that of Sultan Kait Bay, and its graceful minaret that of Abou Bahke Mazar. Across the way thero is tho structure that was a palacein the days when Gaman el dinel Yahter, a _ wealthy Arab, purchased it, and that was 800 years ago. It is said to be a faivhful reproduction. In a large court yard, to which runs a narrow and crooked street from the under portion where are the numerous bazaars, 4 number of attractions are grouped. Thero are in the front of it two obelisks seventy-five feet in height, covered with hicrogiyphics. The interiot decoration is given up to a description of men who lived about the timo of the second Ramecses. In the rear are the statue of Thir and the sarco- phagus of the sacred bulls. A dozen musicians make matters lively in this vicin- ity. In another portion of the grand court an astrologer’s tent is located. Tho boss fakir stands in front and balances an_empty cgg on the tip of his nose until a suflicient crowd gathers, when he takes tho party into his tent and prforms in o manner that is warranted <o result in nervous prostration of the timid spectator, The conjuror sticks spikes through his_cheeks, gouges out his eyes and replaces them, and all in all carns the potty stipend of backsheesh conceded by the manager of the street. They Form a Welrd Collection, The Nubian and Soudanese ‘‘dancers,” so called, in huts having triangular entrances and requiring acrobatic exertion to penc- trate, aro a weird collection, Three genera- tions are represcnted, prandpa and the year-old babe executing the distinctively ‘African steps and the balance of the part) maintaining a monotonous thumping on pigskin tom-toms, containing about as much music as there is in a hoarse bullfrog after a bad night. The chief buck wears a heavy matting of goat hoofs on the south when he not facing that way, and whepn a visitor ils to drop a nickel in the slot the inky imp ’bout faces and rattles the vones under his very nose. The charcoal besutics and the picaninnies manage to busy themselves collecting_backheesh, all of which is turned in forthwith to the treasurer, for there is a man in each hut who acts in that cap v One of the girls said in fairly good Engli that he was the “father” of the entire party. Theso beople dwell continually in their huts. They subsist from a general pot of pork and beans and sleep on a shelf which forms the second story of the huts ‘airo also has its Egyptian theaters. The stage is much wider than the average ge of American theaters, but iv does not boast great depth. A half dozen jet-black eunuchs lolling la on luxurious looking divans render music, the same distinc Oriental sing- song that is heard in the Tuarkish theater Dancing forms the chiefest portion of the entertainment here. A number of really beautiful types of Cairo girls who are pro- ficient in _their particular style of beating time give frequent performances. The feature of the show 1s tho act of Mlle. Phrydon., Asmany people know the Lgyp- tian girl dances upon the theory of there being just as much poetry in the motion of her body as in the tripping of the feet. Miss Phrydon picks up a chair with her teeth and holds it iu & perpendicular pesition as she trips about. After awhile she lays prone upon the floor, with the chair still in her strong Jaws, and then gocs through a serics of body motions that are aitogether fantastic and o! questionable propriety. The Turkish theater draws—but more men than women go. The women are Lossing many & quarter to the grizzled old fakir who squats in the sand, goes through strange motions and reads his customer’s future in the stars. He has an interpreter. Children revel 1n rides about the stroet on Igyptian donkeys. Thero isa breed of camels, t0o, with native drivers who have doubtless oft traversed Sahara's arid waste. There is every- thing imaginable that could eome from Egypt on sale in the bazaars, from a package of stinking cigarettes to a copy of the Alkoran of Mahommed. There is a photograph gallery, where photegraphs of the youthful Abbas, Egypt's new khe- dive, may be purchased for $1. ‘They are copyrighted. Caias street abounds in at- traction and interest. It is the best of ali the plaisance side shows. Amusing in Thelr Ignorance, Amusing in the extreme is the conception some people who have never been here have formed of the extent of the exposi- tion. Many who look as if thoy ought to know better will display the most amazing ignorance, 1 heard a party of fair women going out on an lllinois Central train planning the day's trip, It was about 10 o'clock, “First we must go through the art gal- lery,” one remarked, Sightscer No. 2 said the best thing to do after that was to make an inspection of the state buildings. “And then we'll see what's in the Manu- factures building and the Transportation, We must see those funny old towns, you know, and I waut to seo the ceramics,” The other woman said that if they spent a little while on the Midway Plaisance that ought to complete a pretty good day's trip. The others agreed that it would. Perhaps they could accomplish it in three weeks if they didn't examine everything minutely, Itis inline with an actual occur- rence here the past week. A St. Paul woman wrote to a friend here saying she would be at the fair on a certain day ana she desired to meet her friend *'in the Man- ufactures building!” She might as well have made it more definite by saying, “D'il meet you in Chicago.” People get lost in the main building. The two biggest fights of the exposition— aside from the Sunday closing war—have been settled. As was ' written here some weeks ago in the way of a prediction, Theo- dore Thomas came out en top and the fight against the director of music remains noth- ing but a faint recollection. The trouble over the award system, which threatened a serious outcome, owing to the opposition among foreign nations to the one man sys- tem, has resulted in @& comedown on the part of Chairman John Boyd Thacher, and the establishment of the jury plan so much in demand. The business of the great exposition now appears to be run- ning along on well oiled wheels. It has Yeanhed s degres of perfection that allowed the directory during the week to look about aud make a reductionwvin expenses where it was possible. Iu the future, so it has been estimated, the expenses will not much ex- ceed 100,000 a week. The ofticials are mgmiy pleased with the showing for the month of May. The fieures are said toshow a clean profit of $250,000, notwithstanding the unusual outlay. The best days are yet 10 come. There are something like seventy special colobrations em #he cards, which will draw unusually lagge; attendances. There are many financiers :wno concluded long since that it was almmwst impossible for the expo- sition compamy e como out with expenses nid. The d rs are, nevertheless, con- dent, in viewsof the May showing, that the fair will bo a Smamcial success. Among thess big days that are to come the greatest of all will bo German day— June 15, next From present indications not less tham 50,000 Germans will part ticipato In ‘vhe erand parade. he exercises at «Jaekson park will consis- of singing by agreat chorus and speechmak- ing at the (GGermman building, an exhibition of turning and ap general jollification in the evening.

Another great day will be that of the drummors, o clnss u(ponlilo who have done more ., advertise the fair than any other agent but the press. Their blow-out will be June 10. Vice President Stevenson, Governor Stone of Missouri, Governor Altgeld of Illinois and other public men will deliver addresses, Nebraska Day. t the fair is going to be, ident remarked, a regular hum- mer, Colonel Bill Cody’s whole show will turn out, and there is to be a soul-awakening display in the grand march after the exer- cises from the State building to Agricultural hall. Positive assurances have come from Governor Crounse, Senator Allen, Congress- man Bryan and ex-Governors Boyd and Furnas that they will be here to speak. The interior decoration of the State building, under the active supervision of Commis- sioner Mobley and Mmes. McDonald and Bock, is about complete. The finishing touches are being applied. -~ THROUGH TEXAS TO THE GULF. Characterlstics of Towns and Citles Along the Route. Houstoy, Tex., May 28.—[Correspondence of Tur Ber Tcrossed the Red river, the south boundary line of Indian Territor Texas about sundown, continuing my journey southward through the “Lone Star state,” The northern part of it, through which T passed before the shades of night had fully set in, is somewhat similar in general ap- pearance to the southern part of inaian Tervitory, 1Its scenery is, however, muc. less picturesque and the sofl is not, I think, so fertile. Arrived at Fort Worth about 11 o'clock p. m. Next morning I started out to see the town and before the sun had ag ain set T had “taken it allin.” I had not been long ‘“upon the wing” till the music in tho air and, the fragrance in the breeze gave me Pl % proof of being then and there in the land of sunny skies, singing bivds, roses rare and vineclad bowers. The melody of song secmed to mingle, so to speak, ~ with® the sweev perfume of flowers, 8o that the enjoyment of the one was accompanied by the delight afforded by the other., Fort Worth is in many respects a beautiful little city. It is located upon a picce of rolling upland some fifty or sixty feet above the level of the Trinity river which flows along the west, thenco along the ncrth and thenco along the cast sides of its incorporated territory. The banks of the river are heavily fringed with timber, thus breaking the monotony of, and adding beauty to the immediato surround- ings. The site of the city was originally one of a cordon of military posts extending from the Red river to the Rio Grande, and estab- lished i8as a means of protecting S inst Indians and baunds of arauders from Mexico. The fort whose hment ante dated the founding of the cit ars was named after Gen- eral William J.Worth, who had distinguished himself during the war with Mexico. The city afterwards adopted and has since re- tained the name of the fort. The first houses in the city were built in 18 Its population different times since then has by as follows: 1t was i 1 In . 187 it was 1,07 1879 it was 8,64 In 1880 it was 25,361 while at the present time at is about 50,000, though more is claimed. Its strects are crooked and firrecular in their courses. Some of them are macadamized and somo aro paved with gravel. Tho paving of sidewalks con- sists princivally of gravel. Ncither streets nor sidewalks are so extensively paved as in Omaha. It has a number of business build: ings ranging from four to six stories high. cveral of its'hotels are structures of con- derable size, and will compare favorably with those of much larger plac Its dwelling houses are constructed almost ex- clusively of wood. Many of them are lary and costly and would do credit to any cit, With several railronas entering the cit, five different street railway companies, packery with a capacity of 2,000 cattle and 500 hogs per day, a brewing company with a capital of $300,000,a cotton mill giving em- ployment to 800 hands, seven banks with an aggregate capital of $2,800,000, three daily newspapers, six weeklies and three monthlies, twelve public schools under con- trol of from two to twelve teachers, thirteen select and private schools, thirty churches and an equal number of Sunday schools, and about sixty miscellaneous clubs, orders and societies. Fort Worth ought to and doubtless will con- tinue a prosperous and growing city. Remaining there another night, 1 took my departure, pursuingmy journoy till T reached the town of Wallis, about 80 miles north of Galveston, Here I again got off the train for a night. Wallis is a quiet littlo villago of no importance, though in the midst of good agricultural territory, The country for a considerable distance south of Fort Worth, while well settled and in large meas- ure under cultivation, appeared dry in places, and, though not what might be called poor land, is not of a high order of fertility. Next morning 1 for Galveston. Along the last 150 or 200 miles over which I passed the soil gave many evidences of being exceedingly fertile. Tne grass was fresh, stood thick upon the ground and had a healthy color, the crops were good and vege- tation of every kind was luxuriant. This rich belt of country is, however, but thinly settled, only a fow houses are to be seen within it, and large tracts, embracing many square miles, have never been touched by a plow. It has been and still is held in im- mense bodies by ranch men, who have used it for grazing purposes alone. During the last few years people from the north have been coming down here, purchasing these lands in smaller parcels and putting them under cultivation. This has proved a bene- ficial change in the existing condition of things and if continued will start the coun- try ona new career of advancement and pros- perity, 1 stopped at the city of Galyeston ong enough to look it over in a general way. 1t is situated on Galveston island and com- pletely surrounded by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Theislund is about twenty-five miles long and from one and one-half to two and one-half miles wide. The body of water between it and the mainland is four or five miles wide, The ground upon which the city is built 1s from six to ten feet above the level of the sea. The city 1s well and compactly built, It commands a heavy ocean traftic and does a lurge wholesale business, Its re- tail business is pestricted almost exclusively within the ecity itself. On. the south side of the sland is & large hotel known as the “Beach Hotel” facing towards whe ocean. In frontof it and within the water a short distance of the shore is a large bathing house. Here in warm weathep bathers are often seen in hundreds enjoying:the sport of frolicking in the spray and:suef, As a strong breeze is constautly blowing northward from tbe gulf, the water isnearly always ina state of agitation. Henee, “‘mceting the breakers,” “battling withithe white caps” and *riding the waves” ama phrases frequently heard among persons. spending their time at this seaside resorts s Ocean vessels of consicder- able size receive and unload cargoes at the wharves. ‘Twei railroads cross the channel and connect itwith the main land. With respect o street lighting, street railways, public builaingss schools, public and private, churches, Sunday chools, newepapers and social ~organizations of various kinds, it will bear vorable comparison with other cities. Its climate is said to be healthy and its atmospheric temperature equalized by the waters of the gulf. Throughout the island, and also in the city, all kinds of vegetation are of rich and lux uriant growth. The salt water cedar flour- ishes here and the oleander, a beautiful sweet-scented flower, reaches & high degree of excellence. It is of two different colors. Oune is a bright red, the other a pure white, So charming does it appear as grown here, within sound of the ocean's wave, where constantly kissed by a balmy breeze, that Galveston is frequently called the *‘Oleander Civ Whate may be said of the future of Galveston's career, the following at least may be afirmed with absolute confidence: eurs may come and years " Y ahe will atways b, > by §0 A lovely e eity Surrounded by the sea J. T. MORIARTY, PROCESS OF MONEY MAKING Visit to the San Francisco Mint, the Largest in the World, VAST SUMS OF YELLOW METAL IN STORE Rare Collection of Old Colns and Other Valuable Relles—Rigid Economy is Practiced In the Different Departments. SAN Fraxcisco, Cal, May 81.—[Corre- spondence of Tunr Bee.]—There are four United States mints, located respectively at Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City and n Francisco. On the corner of Fifth and Missouri strects stands a large gray stone building, suficiently imposing as to attract immediate attention, and if curiosity leads the visitor up the long flight of broad stone steps and into the reception hall ho will find himself within the walls of the largest mint in the world. This mint was established in 3, and the present building was erected in A polite, well informed and courteous guide awaits to conduct the visitors through the work rooms, where can be scen the dif- ferent processes through which bullion must pass before it can be used as United States money. The furnace room is the first one to which the visitor is conducted. The ma- chinery is run by water power, furnished by an artesian well in the yards of the mint building. The next room is the deposit room, or, more properly speaking, the ingot room. Here old gold, silver or jewelty aro reccived, of which any one can deposit to the value of not less than $100 and have it melted into bullion, assayed and the next day receive in money of full value in gold coin with 10 per cent of copper alloy and no charges maae for the coining. On the day of our visit §500,000 in silver coin was being melted over. Why? No one could or would explain. It looked odd to see the apparently perfectly good 50- cent pieces shoveled into the small, red hot bowls, where the intense heat of the furnace s0on reduced the coins to a molten fire, which is stirred by small paddles held by im- mense iron pinchers in the nds of the skilled workmen, who practically ‘“‘earn their bread by the sweat of the brow.” The small paddles, as well as the bowls in which the metal is reduced to liquid, are made of clay and plumbago. The ingots of gold and silver are 12 inches long, 1)4 inches wide and 3¢ inch thick. The value of the gold ingots is £1,600 and the value of the silver ingots of the same size is &5, The next process through which the metal passes is that of rolling into long,thin strip: This is done by heavy rollers, under a pres- sure of 250 tons. 1t takes thirteen times to roll gold and seventeen times to roll silver. The gold strips are now put into long copper tubes, which are then placed in a furnace until they are red hot, thence thrown into a vat of water, which process tempers the metal. Each of these long copper tubes are handled by two workmen and will hold 30,000 in gold, or &.,500 in silver. When the gold strips are removed from the tubes the gold is waxed and® the silver sirips are greased. This isdone to prevent abrasion. "The metal is now ready for cutting into pieces, the size according to the denomina- tion of the money to be made. The workmen shovo the long gold strips into the cutting machine, which handles the precious metal as it would pastboara, and indeed it is quite soft, as what is Ieft of the strips is doubled up by the hanas of the workman and thrown nto a box to be seut back to the ingot room. One dollar in silver and #20 in gold are cut out at the rate of 185 pieces per minute, the smaller at the rate of 285 pie per minute. T'he round pieces of gold and silver are now passed to the cleaning room, whero they aro washed free from the wax and grease, ‘Where Visitors Are Not Allowed. Peeping into thie door of the cleaning room, which visitors are not allowed to enter, could be seen a box of unstamped £20 gold pieces. The box contained £100,000 in goid. The unstamped coins, now bright and shim- mering, are taken to the adjusving room, where the ladies work. They are here ad- Jjusted to the exact weight of the coin to be made. Should a coin prove to be too heavy it is filed off; if too light it woes back to be melted over. The milling process puts the metal in blank form for stamping. lut first it must be freed from oxydization, which is done by whitening. The round coins are now ready for the stamping which makes the metal money. There are five stamping ma- chines, and the dies of these can be changed. Onedollar in silver and 20 in gold are struck off by the same machine at the rate of 5,000 per hour. The capacity of the machines is much larger than the supply of gold. But if all the machines could be kept working in gold they could stamp ,000 in one hour, or 3,150,000 in seven hours, or 345,000,000 in 300 working days, T look at the’ large en- gine of 150-horsepower that controls tho machinery used in the mint building, one would scarce imagine it had been used for nineteen year: it appears as bright and glittering in it$ polished metal plates as if it were new. Forty MLllons Within Reach, In this great building, where $£40,000,000 of treasure is stored away, many secmingly small economies are | ced, yet the re- sults are quite astonishing and more than repay the labor, The floors of the work- rooms are covered with perforated iron floor- ing in small sections. Every night these sections are removed and the floor swept. The sweepings are then worked over with acid and the yield in goid and silver amounts to 6,000 per annum. Once a Jeariavory truck aoout the building 1s burned, irrespec- U of its condition, and also the clothing worn in some of the work rooms, that not a particle of the precious metals may be lost. Once infour yearsthe carpetsin the ad- justing rooms are burned. Thedast burning enriched the United States coffers to she ex- tent of $3,200, Leaving the stamping room the visitor finds himself in a long stone corridor facing two vaults, whose heavy iron doors concenl the treasures of $10,000,000 and in their mighty strength of steel and iron seem to mock "as childish play the ofticial papers sealed with red wax and marking them as belonging to the United States government. Rare Collection of Old Coins, The guide now leads the way upstairs to the main hall, where the visitor can, if so disposed, pass a pleasant and instructive halr hour viewing the collection of rare old coins on exhibition in the reception room. The most antique among the coins is a Jew- ish shekel; obverse side, urn and Hebrew characters; reverse side, fig tree and Hebrew characters This coin is traced back to 100 years B. (. The shekel is the common cur- rency of that time. ‘T'he size 1s about that of & b0-cent piece. being worth that amount as pure silyer, but in its present shape a very rare and almost priceless coin. Among the coins, which are to0 numerous to mention, o vine tree shilling is to be seen, The coin is not clear cut and looks little like our silver coias of today, but it recalls to mind the well known story of Captain Hull, whom the United States government em- ployed to make the pine tree shilling, giving him one in every twenty. He soon grew wealthy, and when his favorite daughter was happily marvied he gave her for her weddiug dowery her weight in pie tree chillings, and shie is said to have tipped the scales at 225 pounds. Two small golden spoons in the collection ex considerable suriosity and speculation. y are said to Lave béen taken from Solomon’s temple. The spoons are similar in appearance to the dainty souvenir spoons of the day —the howl in the shape of a leaf. the handle entwined by a vine and two leaves. By the side of the collection of colns is one of medallions, exact copies of those presented to various heroos by the United States government for their deeds of yalor. There are also medallions of the different prosidents, bearing upon them the fac simile heads of each. e ity EULALLIA ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE, Ter Reception by the Brokers—Mer Yester- day's Outing.

Great Jublleo Celebration—Historloal Facts of General Interest—What it Signifios, Rock Isnaxp, I11, May 30.—To the Editor of Tue Br Throughout the Lutheran Scandinavian congregations the present year is a year of jubilee. Two previous centen- nials of a similar nature have been observed, viz., 1603 and 17 Allof thenumerous local celebrations during the present year will reach a grand climax in the great jubilee to be celebrated at Augustana college on the Oth of June. This is national in its charac- ter, being authorized by the Lutheran Auzustana synod of the United ates of America. As this celebration marks an event of highest importance, not only to Lutherans, but to all protestant Christians, it may be of interest to recall some historical facts connected with i Christianity was first introduced Sweden in the year 830, A. D., by Ansgarius, *‘the apostle of the north,” who was called into that country by the Swedes themselve: By the twclfth century Christianity was generally professed in Sweden and the Swedes had become devoted Catholics. The national church enjoyed great liberties until the year 1248, when, thfough papal usurpa- tions, she became a vassal to Rome. In course of time the church became very rich and a period of corruption and tyranny fol- lowed. In the timo of Gustavus V. 3 1560) the doctrines of the R :formation were first preached in Sweden by Olaus and Laur- entius Petri, two brothers, who were disc ples of Luther. Tho king did all in his power to spread theso doctrines. Several important auxiliary events, among which may menntioned the confiscation to th crown of the valuable domains of the Catho- lic church at the diet in 1527, and the trans- lation of the New Testament into Swedish in 520 and of the whole bible in 1540-1, power- fully aided this movemes The reformation was carried on with mod- eration, the object being not to destroy the old church, but to cleanse her of her corrup- twons. Under sway of this motive even the episcopacy, which long before had been es- tablished in the Swedish church, was al- lowed to remain and was perpetuited with proper “‘apostolical succession.” dohn IIL, son of Gustavus Vasa, in his reign (1568- 1592) made an attempt to harmonize the Swedish church, his object being to unite the Roman Catholic, the Lutheran und all the reformed churches into one church, The Lutherans earnestly protested aganst this union, King John, hoping that the pope would favor the proposed union, embraced the Catholic faith, but the pope declined his terms. Then tho king banished all the Jesuits from his realm, closed the Catholic churches and urged the heir apparent, Sigis- mund, to renounce the Catholic faith, which the latter refused to do. At the time of King John's death Sigismund, who had been elected kiog of Poland, was at the Polish capital, During his absence the Lutherans in Sweden urged upon Duke Charles, the orother of John, to call a diet for the pur- pose of adopting some resolutions of protec- tion to uhe evangelical faith, which Sigi mund should be requested to approve before the Swedes would acknowledge him as their king. The dict, accordingly, was called, and assembled at Upsala on the 25th of Febru- ary, 1503, The duke and his council, four bistiops, more than 800 ministers, many noblemen, merchants and farmers w present. The sessions continued till March 20, King John's work was un- done. The unaltered Augsburg con- fession was unanimously. adop! and all present declared that they were ready to die in defense of it. Then the president of the assembly exclaimed “Sweden is now oue man, and wo h; all one God.” The act of the diet, preserved Lo this day in & valuable silver box in the royal into DRPRICE'S C_am Baklng owder.
