Norwegian Celebration.

The "17th of May" celebration at
Luther College Saturday, May 10th,
was an enjoyable day to those who at
tended, Notwithstanding the fact that
it rained during the entire rendition of
the program, which was given at the
College gymnasium.
Prof. Laur Larson acting as presi-
dent of the day, spoke feelingly of the
condition of the mother country, where
today party strife runs so high that
persons holding different political
views refuse to celebrate theircountry's
national day together, and he thought
that he might teach them lesson by
showing them that no matter how
much we differed on other subjects, on
this day we were all American Nor
wegians. Following his remarks, the
Glee Club sang one of those powerfully
wierd Norwegian songs, whose har-
mony effects even a stranger, who has
music in his soul, most strongly. Then
came the speech of the day, by Mr.. T.
Jahr. This we are told, by those who
heard and understood it, was a master
piece, both from an historical and
patriotic stand point. If we might
criticize we would say that the speak
ers only fault lay in not speaking loud
enough.
The president then introduced At
torney Himle to the audience, who
spoke for twenty minutes in some kind
of a dialect that we know was not Nor
wegian, although all the Norwegians
present seemed to understand what he
was saying. At times he made their
sides shake with laughter, and then it
sounded to us as though he was telling
something strangely pathetic. Himle
as public speaker combines those rare
extremes, humor and pathos.
The music was excellent, and we
wish to say right here that our people
do not seem to appreciate the work that
Prof Hanson is doing i'm his endeavOrs
to elevate the standard of music i'm our
city. To say that he is an artist is only
giving him credit for what he is, with
out the support which he is entitled to.
We understand that he will give
musicale in the near future at the Col
lege gymnasium, and we hope that not
only the gymnasium will be filled, but
that our citizens will turn out and fill
the College campus for his benefit.

Spectator, 4th AprilJ

Paris was excited on Sunday by the news
that NJ. Berthrlot, the chemist recently
appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, had
resigned, and by q hundred explanations of
that event. The official account is that some
of NJ. Berthelot'S relations have died the
"Times' correspondents account is that
M. Berthelot gave way before the torrent of
criticism which poured on him; and the
true account is, We fancy, that The Russian
Government was dissatisfied with his man
agoment of recent questions. That Govern
ment does not greatly love amateur Foreign
Ministers, and was especially provoked to
be dragged into the petty quarrel about the
demand on the Egyptian Caisse, at a nom emit
when 1t is inviting the whole world to the
gigantic ceremonial of the Czlr's coronation.
1t is, moreover, irritated to perceive that the
result of this Encouragement has been that
Great Britain has been drawn once moro
nearer to the Triple Alliance. 1t felt bound
to vote with France against the grant of
$500, 600 from the Caisse, but it felt also
that VI. Berthelot had fliIed to understand
the situation. Representations in this sense
were made to Paris, and NJ. Berthelot was
invited to resign. He declined, but OH the
maj ter being referred to NJ. Faure, the
President supported the Russian view, and
M. Berthlot consequently resigned. M.
Bourgeois then appointed himself Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and NJ. Sarrien was with
some difficulty persu AIDED to accept the port

MR.. LOCKER-LAMPSON'S REMINI-
SCIENCES

Mr.. Locker Lampson's Condolences pub
lished last week, include a large number of
interesting anecdotes and recollections of
literary men, statesmen, and other famous
personages Of the century. Mr.. Frederick
Locker Lampson himself, who it will be re-
membered died in May last, is known as the
author of several volumeso of witty and refined
society verses and some poems of a more i'm
por'ant character. Frederick Locker Che added
Lampson to his name on his marriage with
his second wife, the daughter of Sir Curtis
Miranda Lampson) was the son of Edward
Hawke Locker, resident Civil Commissioner
at Greenwich Hospital, of which Captain
Edward Locker, r.. N. grandfather of the
author of the Condolences" was Lieutenant
Governor, and Frederick Locker was born in

AS we expected, the Matabele revolt proves
to be a serious affair. The whole tribe wonld
appear to be- in arms, headed by seven
hundred black policemen, who were levied
and drilled by DR., jameson to avoid the
expense OF enrolling Europeans. They are
numbering the scattered white planters and
miners in Rhode>ia, and have occupied the
hills in "a circuit of some fifteen miles round
Buluwayo. y lager has been constructed in
the market square, and the whites are
coming IN, some fighting their own way
through, and some under the escort Of rescue
parties headed by M. Selous and others.
The Chimes Of Wednesday calculates that
there are eighteen hundred organised militia
in Rhodesia, besides perhaps fifteen hundred
adult whites in Buluwayo, and considers
that force sufficient but it is known that the
town has only one months supply Of food,
and the reports as to ammunition are not
satisfactory. The conveyance of fresh sup
plies from Fort Salisbury and Mafeking will
be a work of time and difficulty, though
Khama offers to assist in protecting the
Southern Road. The Cape authorities are
calling for volunteers, who come forward
readily and President Kruger, in a satirical
but friendly letter, has offered to allow his
burghers 70 volunteer. All white men id
South Africa can be depended upon agains st
all black men but time and distance
tell heavily against the former. The
rumoured despatch OF five thousand British
troops has been denied, the Govern
ment, u~nwisely as We think, hesitating i'll
the present situation of affairs in Egypt
to increase the garrison of South Africa, but
o force has doubtless been warned in readi-
ness for any eventoality. Mr.. Rhodes is at
Fort Salisbury raising a force Of volunteers
to escort HIM to B~uluwayo, bat it is probable
that for sowe days Intelligence will be-
scanty.
The fastest intelligence from South
Africa, published on Friday morning, and
extending to April 2nd, is more favorable
as to the chance of suppreSsing the Mata-
belle revolt. It's general drift is that Bulu-
wayo is safe, that all South Africa has woke
up, and that from two or three separate
points conveys of ammunition are being sent
forward with bands Of hastily raised but
effective volunteers. Wnen they arrive a
forward movement will be attempted against
the Matabeles. On the other hand, it is
admitted that all the war iors of chat tribe
are in movement, that they are full Of fight,
and that they are unexpec edly we'll armed,
The Beers within Rhodesia, and indeed
everywhere, are entirely ON the side Of other

They are held in the public square.
Meat auctions, furniture auctions.
There are few things one cannot buy

positions in the building by passing
the required examination, and there
will be others, until their number grows
so great that the office will have to be
classed as non union.
The report, although not yet offici.
ally confirmed, that Russia had offer
ed to loan the u. S. $4oo,ooo,ooo in
gold, without interest, has probably
created greater CONSERVATION among
the European gold kings who have
been squeezing enormous profits out
ofthe United States under our present
bad financial system than did Presi-
dent Cleveland's bold announcement
in behalf Of the Monroe doctrine.
Already an agent of the Rothschllds
has been to Washington to assure
Secretary Carlisle OF their willingness
to furnish all the gold this government
might need, Notwithstanding their
assertion right after the Monroe doc
thine message was published that
American securities of all sorts had
been put on the black list. OF course
there is no probability that this gov
ernment will accept Russia's offer,
but it was none the less very friendly
and gracious act on the part of Russia,
and 1t furnishes the administration
with a'weapon that will inspire fear in
the minds of the European gold kings,
who know by experience what Russia
can do in the financial line in opposi-
tion to them. Russia has not only
made itself independent of the afore
said European money kings, but while
doing it has accommodated $500, 900
900 in gold. More than half of this
gold, for which Russia hos no particula:
use, is deposited in European banks
outside of Russia. That is the gold
that she is willing to loan us. Its
withdrawal from Europe would be a
knockdown blow for the gold kings.

An Unique Structure.
HepburnyilIe Turns Out to the Dedication Of
q Church Built by The Labor Of
One Man.

There was dedicated on Sunday
afternoon at Hepburnville, seven
miles north of Wiliamsport, as unique
a Presbyterian church as exists any
where in Pennsylvania, 1t is beau
tiful structure and the walls were not
only laid by one man, but he hewed
out the stones from great boulders on
Brobst mountain. He labored more
than six years, never drawing pay for
his work, and when he died recently
he bequeathed his unpaid wages to
the church This heroic stone mason
was George Taylor. In the church
he reared is pretty memorial window
erected by a grateful congregation for
the aged and untiring builder. 1t is
called the Lycoming Centre Presby-
terian church.
The congregation is composed
mainly of well-to- do-farmers and their
families. The church is sixty by
thirty-eight feet, with square tower
sixty feet high.
About year ago, when he had
just finished the tower and his long
labor seemed about to end, Taylor
grew ILL., His hammer and chisel
were laid aside and they were never
again taken up by him. He was
about seventy years old and died of
cancer. When Taylor died a will
was found in which the story of his
devotion to the church was made
complete. All his wages, amounting
TO many hundred dollars, were be-
queathed to the'congregation. There
remained a small debt which was
practically wiped out by those who
gathered in the pretty house of wor-
ship to see it dedicated.
