The Baltimore Christian Advocate,
the able organ Of the Baltimore Con-
ference, NJ. f. Church South, is
making an exceedingly liberal offer
TO new subscribers. To such, in
clubs of five, it not only furnishes an
exceedingly interesting sixteen-page
church paper, but in addition an ell
cgant engraving of the Conference,
in itself alone well worth the price of
the paper. Every Methodist should
have both, and lots of other people
would find in them gooG deal more
than value received.

passed unanimously resolution re-

anything to do with the Virginia debt
question. Later news from Charles

likely come forward with scheme
for that purpose within a few days.

Took the Wrong Patient.

At the city of Utrecht, Holland, the
servant maid of family was taken
with vomiting and other symptoms Of
cholera. Everybody ran for some med
ical man except the lady of the house
herself, who, being in a nervous and de-
bilitated condition, fell into swoon.
When the first doctor arrived without
finding anybody at home, and saw the
old lady lying as dead, he believed her
to be the cholera patient, and, having
brought an ambulance with him, sent
the patient to the cholera hospital.
Next the owner of the house returned
with doctor and was met at the door
by the maid servant who had entirely
recovered and was hale and hearty. One
after the other the members of the fam
lily came home except the mother who
was retained at the hospital until, after
hours Of anxious search, she was found
in the cholera ward happily without
having taken the infection.

OLE MAKES A GOOD CITIZEN.
The Scandinavian Readily Adapts Him
self to American Institutions.

The Scandinavian Readily Adapts Him
self to American Institutions.
There is no nation in Europe that is
more adverseuto violence and has less
sympathy with Utopian aspirations than
the people of Norway and Sweden, says
a writer in the North American Review.
They have been trained to industry,
frugality and manly self-reliance by
the free institutions and the scant re-
sources of their native lands, and the
moderation and self-restraint inherent
In the cold blood of the north make
them constitutionally inclined to trust
in slow and orderly methods rather
than swift and violent ones. They
come here with no milennial ex-
perience, doomed to disappointment,
but with the hope of gaining, by
hard and unremitting toll, modest
competency. They demand less of life
than continental immigrants of the
corresponding class, and they usually.
for this very reason, attain more. The
instinct to save is strong in the major
ity of them, and save they do, when
their neighbors of less frugal habits
are running behind. 1t is therefore a
fact, which all students of the social
problem arising from immigration have
remarked, that the Scandinavians adapt
themselves with great ease to American
institutions. There is no other class of
immigrants which is so readily assim-
Hated and assumes so naturally Amer
lcan customs and modes of thought.
And this is not because their own ma
tionality is devoid of strong character
istics but because on account of their
ancient kinship and subsequent devel-
opment, they have certain fundamental
traits in common with us, and are
therefore less in need of adaptation.
The institutions of Norway are the
most democratic in Europe, and those
OF Sweden, though less liberal, are de-
veloping in the same direction. Both
Norsemen and Swedes are accustomed
to participate in the management of
their communal affairs, and to vote for
their representative in the national par
lament; and although the power given
them here is nominaily greater than
that they enjoyed at home, it is virtual.
ly less The sense of public response
bility, the habit of interest in public
affairs, and critical attitude toward
the acts of government are nowhere so
general among rich and poor alike as in
Norway and Sweden, Notwithstanding
the fact that the suffrage is not uni
versal.

the mountains. Capt Fuller rode his
own private horse, his guide had two
Indian ponies, and an extra horse was
taken along to carry the rations for
the party
They were gone twelve days, during
which they rode more than six hundred
miles--not over the kings highway, but
through an unknown mountainous will
derness. During this twelve days Capt.
Fuller was unable to procure more than
three feeds of grain for his horses. The
Indian ponies gave out ON the third
day, and the guide then rode the extra
horse.
Capt Fuller once rode sixty-six miles
in nine hours in search of deserters.
Adjt Bell, also of the Seventh cav
airy, rode through the Bad Lands, in
North Dakota, in 1882, one hundred and
five miles in twelve hours.
Many instances of long rides Of United
States cavalry officers might be men,
toned in which the endurance of both
men and hores was tested, and compar-
isons would show that American men
and horses are second to none in tests

sufEerings and Perseverance That Charae-
terized the Arctic Explorers.
The story of American explorers who
have braved the perils of the northern
seas, knowing that almost superhuman
efforts were to be required of them,
shows that they had the same enthu-
siasm that characterized and sustained
the early discoverers. One of the mem
bers of the Greely expedition gives an
account in Scribner's Magazine Of their
sufferings and perseverance:
Fatigue, thirst, hunger, cold and
even heat at times be5et us.
Each camp found us physically ex-
hausted. We scanted our food, and
with envious, regretful eyes saw each
bit disappear, since it shortened the
length of our possible journey north
ward.
"Finally the coveted honor was in
sight Realizing that this was indeed
the 'Farthest North, we unfurled the
flag of our country, the glorious Stars
and Stripes with a feeling of pride and
exultation impossible to describe. Lieut..
Lockwood and / seized each others

it all meant.
"The physical hardship from many
days travel through heavy gales and
binding snow, over jagged rubble ice
and across dangerous tidal cracks was
all behind us Our visit left behind it

rectly under. the frowning face of the

SPAIN TO SPEND sI7s,o 900.
Interest Throughout the Kingdom in
Matters Pertaining to the RxposItiou.

Interest Throughout the Kingdom I'm
Matters Pertaining to the Exposition.
The Spanish minister at Washington,
Z. Dupuy de LONE, writes Chief Fearn,
OF the foreign affairs department, of
the increasing interest throughout
Spain in all matters pertaining to the
exposition. The enthusiasm upon the
subject is most surprising In view of
the fact that but few months have
elapsed since significant agitation in
Spain about the worlds fair in Chicago
had really popular place The Madrid
exposition and the official courtesies ex-
tended by the United States govern
ment and the exposition authorities
generally to the government of Spain
have resulted in an enthusiastic and
universal desire upon the part of the
people of that country to be adequately
represented at Chicago. Minister
LONE, in the course of his letter to
Chief Walker Fearn, says:
at has been decided to ask an appro-
priation of 10000 pesetas for the ex-
position. Will send soon plans for
pavilion. There is much enthusiasm"
The cortes will convene in Madrid
December 5, and at the beginning the
appropriation of s15O,OOO will be asked
and granted, which, together with the
5000 which was appropriated for the
preliminary expenses, will make for
Spain the sum of S175,OOO, without
counting Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
Philippines, who will contribute lib
orally on their own account.
Reports have been circulated in all
directions that Spain was going to ex-
pend $4,000 for the exposition, because
this sum was appropriated from the
general funds for offices, correspond
ence and advertisements, congress not
being in session. To-day it will be
rightto say that, after Germany, France
and Great Britain, Spain is preparing
to spend the most of all the other Eu-
ropean nations at Chicago in aclxnowl-
edgment and in return for the honor
shown her at the festivities.

A prelate'. Wicked Brother.

It is rumored that one of the brigands
who have been making havoc in the
Campagna is a brother of the vicar gen.
eral, says the Baltimore American. Not
long ago he headed party of despera-
does that attacked the vehicle of
church dignitary on the outskirts of
Rome. The divine was horribly
frightened, but was reassured by the
highwayman, who declared that he
would not harm SO well-meaning man
as himself. In a short while monsig-
more and the masked man were in deep
conversation, the former having been
completely won over by the distin-
guished manners of the brigand. A
few days later monsignore received
courteous note explaining that y fur,
lined cloak was needed and stated thai
it might be left at certain spot. s
