Perhaps the most interesting feature of
this number OF The illustrated Bee consists
In the portraits Of the prize winners In the
vacation contest instituted by The Bee a
few weeks ago by which the most popular
girls earning their own living were to be de-
termined by the votes OF its subscribers. The
original plan contemplated providing the
four most popular girls with attractive va
cation trips to mountain or lake entirely at
the expense of The Bee. So great became
the competition and so energetic the can
vase for the first place among a large num-
Der OF young women, assisted by their en-
ployers and other friends. that when The
Bee announced the results of the vote count
It announced also that 1t would do more
than 1t agreed and would give free vacation
trips also to the eight contestants next in
order to the four top liners.
The magnitude of this unprecedented con-
test and the vigor with which 1t was waged
can be family comprehended when II Is con-
sidered that the first prize winner has over
100, 600 votes recorded for her and that over
900, 900 votes were cast for all the different
candidates for favor. The scenes at the
closing of the polls were as exciting as the
scenes attending the most closely fought po-
litical battle. but all with the best OF tenn
per and only the most friendly rivalry.
The Bee therefore does not hesitate to
say that the young woman whose portrait
is made the frontispiece is the most popu-
lar girl earning her own living In this sec
ton of the country, although her associates
in the race have reason to feel elated at the
degree Of popularity each has displayed.

the time resulted finally in her yielding the
position to one OF the boys. Her classmates

Wedding Rules
of Norway

Every country has its own particular reg
ulations and ceremonies regarding matri-
mony. Wedding presents in Norway are
not OF the expensive, but useless kind that
they are with us. They consist Of such
things as pots and pans, plates and dishes,
a feather bed, half a dozen sheep, a sack
of potatoes and so forth. Sir G. w. Dasent
says that the Norwegians, in reference to
marriage as to other matters, put their
best foot foremost and try to make the
most Of things generally. A lad went out
to WOO a wife. Among other places he
came to a farmhouse, where the people
were very poor, but they wanted to make

1891, she became one of the editors of the
school paper, the Register. After spending
a year in post graduate work at the High
school, she entered the competition for the
Vassar scholarship, carrying off the prize,
which led to a five years period of study
at that institution. 1t is interesting to note
In this connection that upon arriving at
Vassar the first September, Miss Schwartz
was told that the Omaha students who had
preceded her had set a high standard OF
excellence In college work by which later
Corners would be measured, these alumnae
being Mrs. W.. C. Shannon (ElIen E.. Pop
%pleton). Mrs. ]. II. Mcintosh (Claire Rustin).
Mrs. Meredith Nicholson (Eugenie C.
kountze) and Miss Mary l.. Copeland. The
response to the warning Is seen in the fact
that Miss w in her Junior year was
awarded the annual prize offered by the
college magazine-the Vassar Miscellany
Tor the best short story, and in her senior
year she became head literary editor of the
college year-book-the Vassarion. was
granted second prize for best ESSAY on

ReV. Edwin Hart jerks. who has lust
accepted a call to the pastorate of the First
presbyterian church of this city, comes
with an enviable record for efficient church
work. Although born in GAINESVILLE, Wis.
March "a, 1862. he was reared and educated
In New York state, to which his father re-
moved, his mother having died during his
infancy.
Mr.. jerks went through Whltestown
seminary, New York, a prominent prepara-
tory school, graduating In 1879. Though
the youngest member of his class. he re-
ceived the Latin salutatory honor. He was
graduated from Hamilton college in 1886.
During his course in these two institutions
he received two prizes in defamation. a
hrst prize In classics, two prizes in essay,
one In metaphysics, and the Kellogg prize
In oratory upon graduating from college.
Besides this he was twice appointed con-
testant In prize debate. In college he
was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fra
ternity. Mr.. Jerks also has received the
degree of Master of Arts from his alma
mater.
In 1888 Mr.. jerks was graduated from
Auburn Theological seminary. Immediately
he turned his steps westward and became
a home missionary in California. He has
served the church at Lakeport, Red Bluff
and San Francisco. in the latter field as
co-pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
At present he is pastor OF the Second Pres
byterian church Of Los Angeles, Cal, where
he is pleasantly situated and has only been
In charge a few months.
Mr.. jerks has twice been delegate to the
Presbyterian general assembly as a repre-
sentative from California. II is not ex-
pected that the new pastor will assume his
duties until about the beginning of Sep

So he went about wiping all the benches

Cleveland the other day at the age of 81,

became the headquarters of the underground

years later he taught in Gallipolis, o., the

Many superstitions prevail in Sweden
with regard to marriage. 1t is said that
if a girl be fond of cats she will not be
an old maid, as we would say, but have
a bright day for her wedding. The Swedish
bride sometimes wears a coronet of myrtle,
or, when that is not procurable, of colored
paper. Here, as in Norway and other coun-
tries of northern Europe, there is too much
eating and far too much drinking at we'd
dings. In Sweden the repasts on these oc-
casions continue for hours. When asked
to take your place at the table it is con-
sidered polite to make as stout a resist
ance as possible. During the repast a COL
lection is made for the bride and some
times also for the poor Of the parish. In
Siberia there is a good custom that a bride
on coming to her husbands house has to
give a dinner prepared with her own hands
as a test Of the education she has received.
If she succeeds in gratifying her guests it
is taken as a proof not only of the young
woman's WI excellence, but also as a
recommendation of her whole family, by
whom she was instructed so u~sefully.

rain. Prof. Hadley, however, insisted that
President Dwight accept the courtesy, and
his became so energetic that
finally President Dwight turned and said:
"See here, Hadley, this is my reign still.
Your reign doesn't until to-
morrow"
President-elect Hadley allowed the presi-
dent of Yale to have his own way on the last
day of his administration
Rev. George b. Heldmann, pastor of st.
Paul's Roman Catholic church, Chicago, who
is talked of as a candidate for congress,
was born in Chicago on August 4, 1858, and
has lived in that city all his life. He be-
came pastor of st. Mary's church in 1888,
less than twelve years after the church was
organized. Since then the parish has
grown till it includes more than 700 famil-
les. The congregation is composed almost
exclusively Of Germans, and the pastor,
being of German parentage, has won his
way to their hearts. He is genial and ap-
proachable. and his eloquence has made him
esteemed among his parishioners. He says
he will not run without the permission Of
Archbishop Feehan.
In the public square of Pretoria, South
Africa, stands a statue of loom Paul" Kru-
ger, president of the Boer republic, with
which England is just now hesitating on the
brink of war. The thrifty Beers, recogniz-
ing what the old man has done for them,
determined not to wait until after his death
to honor him with a monument. Accord
ingly they had plans drawn for a statue
showing their hero in the old black coat
and stovepipe hat which he had worn to
church every Sunday morning for years. The
completed sketches were shown to Mrs.
Kruger for her approval. She had only
one suggestion to make. 1t was her idea
that the top of the hat should be made hol-
low and left uncovered, so that the rain
would fill 1t and it could be used as a drink
ing trough by the birds. Her suggestion
was adopted, and today in the public square
of Pretoria there is always a flock of birds
fiuttering like a halo about the top of the
statue.

In obedience to orders from Indian
Agent Schoenfelt, Capt. of Indian
Police j. W. Ellis elected E. B.
Ratterree, a nOn-citizen, from the
Choctaw nation into the state of
Arkansas. Ratterree was charged
with unlawfully cutting hay off the
Choctaw domain.
The Indian police under late in
structions are ordered to seize and
impound all hay cut in violation of
law. The instructions say that a
non citizen if found guilty of cut
ting hay in violation of law will be
considered an intruder and elected
from the nation and that the law
in regard to cutting hay will be
rigidlv enforced.
