date fixed for the beginning Of the
great Swedish Lutheran jubilee festi-
val, to be held in this city. to COM
memorate the decree of Upsala, 1893,
when Sweden renowned the CathOnc
faith and accepted the Lutheran re-
ligiOn. 1t has been the custom Of the
Swedish Lutheran church to common
crate the event. The Swedish Luther
an church of this country is Il strong
one, and the celebrations everywhere
will be of an extensive nature. At the
fall meeting of the Minnesota confer
ence of the Swedish Lutheran church
it was decided to celebrate the ami
versary, and it is expected that Swedish
LutheranS from the DakOtaS, MinneSo-
ia and part of Wisconsin will join in
it.
A meeting of the executive committee
Of the Swedih Lutheran jubilee was
held yesterday at Augustana church.
Among the several communications
read was one from Prince BernadOtte
of Sweden, who had promised to at
tend the celebration. He stated that it
would be impossible to come, much
to his regret. To fill his place on the
program it was decided to invite Coy.

ton, and Rev. G. A. Petri and J. Il.

PRESIDENTS SPECIAL TRAIN.
Mr.. Cleveland VIII Go to Chicago Di-
rect from New York.

Washington, April ii - President
Cleveland will not, as reported by a
press association on Wednesday. re-
turn to Washington from New York
AS published in the Evening Post about
ten days ago, he will leave here for
New York on Wednesday, and on Fri
day will take the special train for Chi
cago in order to get there before Sun
day, and ON Monday evening he will
start on his return to Washington.
The train will be for the exclusive use
OF the president and his family. The
refusal Of the supreme court to go to
the fair opening is understood to be
because the court was not honoreI by
the offer of a special train. WhnN the
Harrison cabinet, diplomatic corps and
supreme court went to Chicago to at
tend the dedication exercises the court
at the last moment declined TO bunk
in the same train with either the cab
met or the diplomatic corps and was
given special train. 1t may possibly
get one this time. 1t is taken for
granted, however, that should no spe-
cial train be offered and the court there
fore remains in Washington the fiji will
be opened just the same.

As might be expected a discovery
of such practical utility had to run the
gauntlet Of much hostile criticism. 1t

in various scientific societies and jour

that it was not ony deleterious but dan

PAIs Is, April eli. c. Carter Of
counsel for the United States in the
Behring Sea tribunal of arbitration
contlnued his argument to-day in be-
half 10 American claims in Behring
Sea Mr.. Carter criticised the weak
points of the case presented in behalf
OF Great britain. He admitted
that the United States asked
for a monopoly of the seas, but mon
opoly, he argued, could only be iniu-
rious when artificial prices are induced
by it IN the present instance that
was impossible. On the contrary, the
monopoly asked for by the United
States would encourage production,
and be beneficial to humanity in the
same way aa the laws providing for
patents ard Tor copyright. Mr.. Car
ter proceeded to refute the British ar
gument that the seals devoul.ed
British fish in the waters of British
Column bia. The fish in those waters.
Mr. Carter said. were the property of
the world. Mr.. Carter quoted from
the joint report of the Commissioners
of Great Britain and the United States
appointed to Investigate the condition
of seal life in the North Pacific Ocean
to sustain his contention that pelagic
sealing was wrong. The United States.
Mr. Carter said. would tolerate the inn
memorial right of the Indians to pur-
sue the seals for their personal susten-
ance, but not for commercial purposes.

Usually, however, the letter Of con-
dolence, if short, earnest and sincere,
is an olive branch of promise borne as
by a very messenger dove OF peace over
the wild, whirling waste of snow. The
simpler it is, the surer its GRAND of
mercy. The sooner it is sent, the more
speedily its tender balm is laid on the
aching heart. On the whole it is al
ways very nearly safe to trust to the
early friendly impulse, and to disre-
gard the later OBTAINING hand of eau
ton.
