Readers for magazines and story papers
have an endless task. The reader" en-
ployed upon a leading American maya
zine, peruses on an average fifteen
original contributions a day, and on the
average rejects twelve of them. In
twelve months a single New York pub
fishing house received the manuscripts
Of a thousand novels. The lac Henry
J. Raymond was perhaps one of the best
readers this country has ever pro-
duced.
All the large publishing houses employ
q -reader"-a man or wonan who Pc
ruses all manuscripts offered and either
accepts Or rejects them. From the de-
cision OF this literary Monster there is no
appeal. Ambitious authors complain
that it is unjust to be compelled to SUBJ
init to tie decision of one person. II is
the writer's desire to make an appeal to
the public and not to one man. That
can not be made without the types. and
the barren honors of the types can be
had only by the Judgment and decision
OF the reader" who in most cases is ac-
run ate and impartial.-WM NJ. Clemens

NORWAY AND ITS PEOPLE.

Enlistment for the Traveller Social
Traits of the Norwegians.
AS every farmer is compelled by law
to entertain the traveller and furnish a
fresh steed to continue the journey. there
is no occasion to hurry forward to a
hotel. 1t is also delightful to be absolved
from the fear that darkness will over
take you. This feeling of security. how
ever. must be acquired by experience.
Ca n of my first trips i found myself
ten miles from my destination at 8 IN.
and as darkness is always a lee shore"
to u traveller. the whip was vigorously
piled for some time before l realized the
true state of affairs. Then the pony
grazed. while 1 promised myself never
to say anything about it. Tie Norweig-
ians are characterized by honesty. in
dustry, cheerfulness and sobriety. which
Is more than can be truthfully said of
many European nations. You must
watch them or they will be guilty of
under-charging. Quite different from
the gallant Neapolitan who demanded a
dollar for ferrying me to a Capri steamer.
and finally agreed to perform the service
for Q cents.
The stranger in Norway is welcomed
with genuine hospitality, and, on ac-
count of the people having SO man
relatives in the land of plenty, Amer
leans are favored guests. So interested
are these people in our country that
1000 recently gathered upon the dock at
Christiana to bid farewell to a party of
emigrants. They go mostly to Mime
sofa, Montana and Dakota, which are
more like home to people of the north
land. Most of the Norwegians speak
n or more foreign languages. Al the
officials and agents understand our
tongue. On two Norske steamers | be-
gan with the captain. and even though
my boots were ~chalkedr in the engine
room, | failed to find one of the crew
who could not converse in English.
Many of the common people are well
versed in English literature. In several
households l found the latest novels of
Howells and James, and works of the
standard authors in abundance. Milton
and Shakespeare nave furnished text
books for the public schools. which fact,
by the way, gives a comical poetic tinge
to conversation.
AhC Ohb WiieC hhPCio thtoO PSoPio w
study, and as their own literature is yet
in its infancy, recourse has naturally
been had to that of other nations.
Education is compulsory. Great interest
is manifested in higher culture. When
recently in Christiana. 500 applications
were made for the entrance examination
at the university, whose professors will
compare favorably with any in the i'm
portance and extent of their original
work. especially in the natural sciences.
The N~orwegians are essentially a relig-
ious people. Reformed Lutheranism is
the established church. Their govern
ment is that of a limited monarchy.
King Oscar has not the power of ALSO
lutte veto. The lower house of parlia-
ment is elected by the people to serve
three years, and these delegates choose
one-third of their number to compose
the upper use.-Cor. San Francisco

A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
Cured by

three years OF misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.

Officers implicated in yesterdays at
tempt at revolution have bsen con-
demued to death. A baud of rebels
at Ocsns, in the province CT Toledo,
killed their commanding officer and
then returned to allegiance and prayed
for mercy. The common soldiers who
took part in the uprising generally
repent their folly today and blame
their officers for leading them sstray.
The soldiers are everywhere yielding
to the authorities. In the province
of Toledo two bands OF Iebels, how
ever, still hold out. They are trying
to reach the wadarrsman mountains
and force OF loyal troops haI been
sent in pursuit OF them. The city is

that there was nothing in the case cal

TIE UTAH COMMISSION
In Session at ChicaRO-PrepaI ing
the Annual ReDOrf,

CHICAGO, September 21.-The Utah
Commission, selected under the pro-
vision OF the Edmunds law in 1882,
began a session here this forenoon.
The object is 10 prepare the annual re-
port for the year past to present to the
President by October 1st. The spe.
Cife duty OF this commission is to con-
duct all elections in Utah, including
the appointment OF REGISTRATION Off
GERS and Board OF Canvassers. 1t
takes in the city and town elections
as we'll as the county and Territory.
Mr.. Carlton, the chairman, states that
the Edmunds law, so far rs it has
been effective, is doing away with il
legal voting, the law prohibiting a
polygamist or one who INDUCED in IN
lawful cohabitstion to vote, and that
the courts Of justice during the past
eighteen months had convicted 100
offenders. In this sense, he said, the
law was a success; but how far it has
made the Mormon give up his creed
is another question.

BURR'S DOUBLE DEALING
In the Presidential Election in 1901
COminK to Light,

RoNDoUT, N. Y, September 81
The freeman will publth tonight the
contents of bundle of letters from
Aaron Burr to Peter Won Gaasbeck,
of New York, that were found by @.
z. Carter, in Kingston, yesterday.
Political seheming IS disclosed. One
of the letters throws light upon the
notable contest for the Presidency be-
tween Burr and Jefferson, in 1901,
when the matter OF choice was thrown
into the House of Representative
Burr claimed, after Jefferson had been
chosen President, that If he BURR
had had an equal number of votes
with Jefferson he would have utterly
disclaimed all competition, as he had
no desire to be instrumental in coun-
teracting the wishes and expectations
Of the people of the United States.
Those sentiments were for the public.
On the other side, it appears from
letter, upon the back OF which was
written private Instructions" that
secretly he had other designs. Peter
Won Gaasbeck was a politician of con-
siderable influence, and q member OF
Congress. With "Private Instruc-
tons" was found a paper containing
sort OF cipher, by which the letters OF
the alphabet were to be used to indi-
cate certain names. Burr adds to one
OF his letters: Speak OF yourself in
the third person when you wish it to
be concealed that you are the person
in question"
