Thus spoke the skeleton In armor in Mr..
Longfellow's famous poem. Last night there
was a talk before a large audience in this
city that might have been q seance with this
identical Viking. 1t was the address Of
Capt. Magnus Andersen Of Christiana, the
man who built and sailed the Viking ship
from Bergen to Chicago
The statement that Capt. Andersen would
deliver an address on the subject Of the
Vikings before the National Geographic
Society was enough to fill the big hall Of the
Builders Exchange with an enthusiastic
audience that listened for two hours with
rapt attention to every word this hardy
Norseman had to say. Long before 8 o'clock
every seat in the hall was filed and when
the time came for the lecture to begin the
aisles were packed with people standing.

narrative Of the early Vikings and from that

race. as shown in their courage in building
and manning an eighty-foot reproduction of

Much Of the story Of this Interesting enter
prise was told In an interview with Capt.
Andersen In The Star yesterday afternoon.
Out, OF course, In a two hours lecture he mad

his lecture was concerned with the claims of
Norway that Left Erikson was the actual
discoverer Of the western continent. five
centuries before the time Columbus crossed
the Atlantic In his miniature fleet Of car
avels. He told Of the finding, by Prof
Horsford. of the site Of Leirs house at Ger

resume OF the story and legends connected
with this hazardous trip Of the Norseman to
Greenland. or Vinland. as 1t was then
known In the eleventh century.

gained access to the top of the tower and
tore down the English emblem because they
did not consider 1t ought to be unfurled in
an Irish village.
They were detected In the act by some of
the village employees, and the guards drove
the Offenders out into the Midway. The
gang return ed stealthily in a short time and
climbed over one side Of the fences. The
ing that another attempt would be made az
soon az the nag was atrluS up again. and
bounced upon the tntrude-s.
Ihen came the exciting part Of the Gceue.
Inc gus rds summoned the patrol wagon
and tried to arrest the whole number in
the face OF threats from a crowd Of several
thousand sympathizers who quickly gath
cred around the village
The wagon came on the double Quick
and the force OF guards tried to cope with
the anti-English visitors. They no sooner
got one or two Of their prisoners into the
wagon than the men who pressed around
1t pulled them out. Three of the rtnglead-
ers were finally taken prisoners after a
pitched battle OF some minutes duration
The Earl Of Aberdeen arrived at the vii.

trouble had ended, and was very indignant

To Greenland in 980.
His son, Left Erikson, sailed in 500 from
Greenland to Norway. and as he made q
mistake In steering, he got too much south
and reached the SodOr islands first and
went from there to Norway, where he en-
tered into the service Of King Olaf Trygva-
son. with whom he spent the winter in Nj
daros, nov Drontheim, where he was
christeneds. He started for home the fol-
and steered what was afterward looked
upon as the regular route from Norway to
Greenland, namely, to 60 between Fairy
islands and Shetland; he must however,
have been overtaken by storms and brought
out OF his course. for after having drifted
about for some time he reached an un-
known land in the far west, where he found
wild grapes and uncultivated cornfields.
He hurried back to Greenland the same
year and brought news home about this
new land. which he called ''Vinland" from
what he found there; this resulted in two
attempts being made to sail across and
colonize 1t.
Finding of the Viking Ship.
After referring at greater length to the
claims Of Erikson, he told Of the finding of
the Viking ship which was used as model
for the one that was sent to Chicago. She
was found in 1850 at Gokstad. near a small
watering place called Sandefjord. situated

LABOR AND MATERIAL.
A Bill to Protect Those Who Furnish
Them for Public Buildings.

Them for Public Buildings.
A bill las passed the House which Is de-
signed to protect persons who furnish labor
and materials to contractors engaged in the
construction Of public buildings. It is said
that 1t frequently occurs that unprincipled
contractors from the large cities bid upon
government work in small towns. and un-
derbid the local contractors several thou
sand dollars. subsequently getting even on
the deal by defrauding local dealers out Of
material and decamping when the work is
done, leaving large debts for material and
labor. Congressman Heard and Culberson
happened to have cases Of this kind occur
In their districts. 30 they put their heads
together and prepared bill which was re-
ported from the committee on judiciary and
has passed the House. The bill Is as fol-
lows:
.. That hereafter any person or persons en-
terins into a formal contract with the
United States for the construction of any
PUBIC building, or the prosecution and COM
plecon OF any public work or for extensive
repairs upon any public building or public

such WORK to execute the usual penal bond,
with good and sufficient sureties with the
adol.ional obligations that such contractor
ments to all persons supplying him or them
labor and materials in the prosecution of
.ne work provided for in such contract; and
any person or persons making application
therefor. and furnishing affidavit to the
department. under the direction Of which

ana materials shall have q right of action.

Compound Rate.
From the Kansas Farmer.
At the birth Of his son q father placed at
interest at 6 per cent the sum of 81, 900 and
each year invested all the interest at the
same rate. When the boy was twenty -one
years old he found himself the possessor Of
$, 1886. Being a young man Of pluck and
energy. and anxious to try his hand in un-
aided competition. he told his father to
keep the money, and he would take his
chances with the poor boys Of his acquaint-
ance. When the son was fifty years old
the father notified him that his fortune had
grown to over $1S,420. using round num-
bers. At seventy the father called his SON g
attention to his fortune of over So. 600, and
since the son had received the rewards of
his industry, he did not still take posses
sion of the fortune The father soon after
died. and in his will required his executors
to keep the principal and interest loaned un-
by death. The latter lived to a good old
age. and on his Tooth birthday. besides the
accumulations Of a busy and prosperous

really considerable in Christopher to have
saved dollar-only one dollar-of
the amount given him. A modern
financial manager would have per.

the sometimes obstreperous and mu-
tinous sailors be reduced at half rations for
sufficient time to enable the great DIS
coverer to save a dollar and place 1t at
compound interest at the very reasonable
rate Of per cent. By this time, 400 years
after that dollar would have increased and
multiplied to the munificent sum of over

some Of the gambling debts Of his poor re-
lations Of this present time.
