GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS.
Gov. Lind Eulogizes the Great Swedish
King,

Last Monday evening at DANA Hall
the Swedish-Amcricans OF the city list
encd to an eloquent address by Gov
crnor Lind on Gustavus Adolphus, the
famous soldier and statesman who was
known as "tlc Lion OF the North"
Governor Lind said in part:
"Gustavus Adolphus was not only of
the worlds foremost masters of military
strategy, but he was at least equally
eminent as a constructive statesman and
a shrewd diplomat. While fighting with
one hand, with the other he built up the
civil institutions and the commerce Of
his kingdom, laid the foundations Of
popular education and reformed the
judiciary and the taxing system OF
Sweden"
Governor Lind commended that the
thirty years war in which Gustavus ell
gagged was not principally religious
war. The fact that it was struggle
between Protcstants and Catholics was
merely incidental. The real fight was
between the Gothic spirit OF independent
individuality and the Latin implicit
obedience to authority.
incidentally the governor let out the
fact that his sympatl1ies are with the
Beers in their present war with Great
Britain. "The race has," said he, "thc
power to produce the man who is need
ed for every great emergency. When
Gustavus Adolphus was needed he ap-
peared on the scene Of history. When
the circumstances required Washing
ton he came. Lincoln was needed, and
the people produced him. And now it
seems that since the situation in South
Africa demands Paul Kruger, he has
come"
This sentiment was received by the
whole audience with signs OF cnthusi-
aStic approval

The Dangers Of MstrimOny.
The Baltimore Sun says

The Baltimore Sun says:
From time to time since the world
began there have been male scoffers at
matrimony, but, as a general rule, they
have consisted OF wretched old bachelors
who could get nobody to have them.

members as q benevolent association,

that it has already done effective work
in rescuing a number Of men who were
in imminent danger. In the words Of
the secretary; "Our club is doing
great deal of good in preventing men
from allowing their love to get the bet
ter Of their judgment. Several men
who thought of getting married have
been saved by our missionaries, and we
intend to push the good work along"
The women who have been divorced
from the members of the club could
probably say something on their side
about "sad and narrowing experiences "
They we're doubtless as glad to be freed
from the bonds Of matrimony as their
husbands, and may have had even bet

80 Yes, answered Mr.. Schurman, af-

system. Besides, it is outlined in the

On that point the American people will
never give way. But. after that, we

Then Mr.. Schurman put some ques-
tions to Ine. He notably asked me why

Schurman then said with great deal
