STATUE OF OLE BULL.
Unveiled at the Exposition Build
ing IN Minneapolis.
The Occasion One of Great Importance In
the History Of the Northwest
of the Worlds Great Artists
Were Honored.

With patriotism for their adopted
country, with ardent love for their ma
tive land, with intense alteration of the
memory of two departed sons of Nor
way, fully 1000 sons and daughters of
the Norsemen, the Vikings, the Danes
and the Swedes crowded into the Ex-
position auditorium at Minneapolis on
Sunday afternoon, May IL, to celebrate
with Joy two events, and to blend with
their happiness full quota of sorrow.
The first two events, in which happi-
ness reigned, were the international
singing contest, and the unwilling of
the great statue to Ole Bull, that noble
genius who made the world lay at his
feet through the matchless melodies of
his violin. ...
The other and sadder event was the
paying of tribute to the memory of
Jakob Fjelde, who, almost under the
eyes of that immense throng, had
moulded from shapeless shaft that
very statue; and, when it had been fin
ally completed, yielded up the spark of
life.
The singing contest, for which there
were entered nine societies, embracing
three nationalities, German, Swedish
and Norwegian, was conducted amidst
the greatest enthusiasm and interest.
Patriotism figured largely in the tu-

hands fashioned yonder work. I seem
to feel it now lowering about me.
ask you, dear friends. out of respect to
the dead, and in love of his memory,
not to lift a finger in applause when
the veil shall have been lifted, but to
rise to your feet as testimonial of sor<
row and regard. I would further ask
you to remain standing until the last
strains of the orchestra shall have
ceased" ...s..... .-
Then followed scene such as is
rarely witnessed. And who that saw
it can say in the future, that in this
busy, careless, laughing world of today
there does not beat heart bursting
with universal love; heart which does
not weep at the outgoing of such men
that of Ole Bull.
1t was Ole Bulls composition which
the orchestra rendered. The players
We're hidden from sight, and as the
great audience arose, and came to a,
perfect stiffness, there was waited to
each ear a song which was equally
plaintive, equally sad as Heart
wounds" It was Ole Bulls Chalet
Girls Sunday. The moment was i'm
pressive, thrilling. Not one of that
vast concourse of people moved. More
distinct came the notes of the orches-
ira, and then the president motioned to
an unseen figure behind the curtains.
A beautiful figure and a beautiful
face appeared. Miss Caroline Boeck-
man, of St. Paul, upon whom the honor
of unwilling the monument had been
conferred, stepped forward, and draw
ing upon the cord, lifted high in the
air the covering which had screened
Fjelde's masterpiece.

band of singers as it left the stage.
There were enough friends of each in
that big audience to swell the noise
into miniature thunder. Aside from
the spirit of rivalry which prompted
many to applaud, there were thousands
who clapped their hands in simple APP
probation of good singing and excel
lent work. Each society showed the
most careful training. Each leader
worked hard, and when he trailed from
the scene of action at the heels of his
lusty throated kinsmen, he was conf
dent that the prize would come to him.
The various societies entered were:

"Frohsinn," Minneapolis.

FJelde, The sculptor.
Jakob Fl. G. Fjelde was borne in AS
lesund, Norway, April 10, 1859. At
very early age he showed talent in the
direction that finally became his life
work. At the age Of Il he came to Chi
cago with his parents and for some
time tried his hand at carpenter work
and from that drifted into wood carv-
ing. At the age of II he returned to
Christianla, where he worked at this
latter trade. Here he carved two heads,
one laughing and one crying. These
he took to Bergslien, Norway's fore
most sculptor. who became amazed at
at the evidences of genius of young
Fjelde, and at once offered him posi-
ton in his studio. He remained with
him a year and half. From there
he went to Copenhagen, where he had
such success that at the age of % he
could afford to 60 to Rome. He stud
led and worked and lived the ideal ar
lists life. His letters sent home
to his mother and sweetheart breathed
enthusiasm, and were full of plans. for
the future. Uptoithis time his work
was of the Thorvaldson school, but
from this time on, his work is, a mix
ture of the Italian and French. While
in Rome he became acquainted with
Henrik lbsen, of whom he made a bust,
which he presented to the city art gall
lery.
After spending two years in Rome he
returned to Norway, where he did
considerable portrait work. In 1887
he decided to again embark for Amer
lea. After spending some time in Chi
cage, he came to Minneapolis, which
was his home until death. g,
