SWEDISH STATE BALLS.

Americans are so apt to visit Sweden
and Norway in the summer and fall
that one cannot help asking why they
never go there in winter There are
few more hospitable capitals in Europe
than Stockholm, nor are there any
courts which are more accessible to the
visitor from the United States than that
of King Oscar. The state balls at the
palace, of which several are given dur
ing the course of the winter, are very
brilliant affairs. The invitations are
sent out ten days in advance, and there
is a curious rule that all ladies not dan
cling must appear in black court dress
with trains, whereas those who dance
must wear white, without trains. Wo-
hand whether they wish to dance or
not. 1t is a curious rule which works
well.
The balls begin at half-past eight;
supper is served at eleven, and car
riages are ordered at one. The guests
are received in the name of he king by
the grand marshal of the court. The
ordinary guests assemble in the So
called grand gallery, a magnificent
apartment The room beyond this is
set apart for the mobiles of high rank
and their wives. while the so-called
White saloon is reserved for the diplo-
matte corps, the knights of the order of
the Seraphm and grand dignitaries of
the realm, with their wives.
Punctualiy at half-past nine, the
king and queen, with the chief officers
the royal family, make their entrance,
and in the White saloon and the ad-
joining apartment, in both of which the
gentlemen are drawn up on one side
and the ladies on the other, their ma
jesties pass separately down either
side, and saying a word or two to each
in turn. Then the king and queen, fol-
| lowed by the occupants of these two
apartments, enter the grand gallery in
procession, pass down through lane
| formed by the guests there assembled,
| bowling and occasionally exchanging a
word with the guests ranged on either
side, and then followed by the whole
company enter the so-called White Sea
the magnificent ballroom. glittering
with white marble columns. The scene,
with all the ladies dancing in white and
all the men in uniform, is extremely
| brilliant especially in the square
| dances which are lancer in colossal
sets, sometimes of nearly a hundred
couples, "a Ia Erancaise," as an inn
mense country dance. Refreshments
are served throughout the evening in
spacious vestibules. fitted with tropical
| plants aud fountains, and at eleven
supper is served in different rooms, &C.

LIFE AT SCHEVENINGEN.

A recent writer on Hollands famous
watering place says: AT Schevening-
en-, if you wish to keep away from the
grand suburb and eat among the old
fashioned folk of the fishing village, the
people Of that interesting 'dorp' will
give you a delicious breakfast, the
staple of which will be sweet rye bread,
fresh butter of the finest quality and
incompatible herring. If you want a
real Dutch lunch, it will consist of rye
bread and cheese, with a glass of rich
milk. The milk has some curious and
picturesque associations. In the early
morning-again if you keep to the old
quarters-you will see the dogs, which
are universal beasts of burden in the
Netherlands, dragging the little milk
carts. The barrels are brightly painted
and are mounted with shining brass.
And, While the milk carts are going
round, the maids-generally plump and
swaddled in manifold skirts which
give them the aspect of abnormal lati-
tude-are busting about with the pail
and mop and that 'glazen spuit which
is one of the most cherished of Dutch
domestic institutions 1t is a great
brass squirt with which windows and
shutters are energetically sluiced."

Many of these travellers come back
sadly jaded, worn out with excess of
excitement and from having had to
stand up all the way, the seats prOvi-

Some of them have much the same

from behind the blinds of a bride when
usually he has been accustomed to go

popular in the fall season are worn

than a yard ahead of him as they walk

Of dollars in securities.
These special officers are, of course,
armed and ready on the instant for a

volvers in the side pockets of their
coats sometimes in their sleeves. For
| several weeks the Seaboard National
| bank, while its own vaults were being
repaired, kept it's most valuable securi-
| ties in the safe-deposit vaults of the
Produce Exchange, across Beaver
street. The papers and money were
carried in four or five boxes, and these
were fastened together by a small
chain, the boxes being about two feet
apart. On each side of each of the box
es, as they were carried across the
street morning and night was one man,
and both in front and behind the pro-
cession was special officer. 1t was an
interesting procession.

days, when all payments were made in
gold and thousands of dollars were car
ried through the streets from one finan-
cial house to another. The most valua-

now consists of bonds of various kinds.

be obliged either to sell them or borrow
money with the stolen bonds as securi-

could do either without Identification.

alone.

a robbery which occurred about twenty

was told as follows by one Of the oldest
members of the police force. Mr.. Lord,
| who was an elderly gentleman of i'm

reading newspaper in his office in the
| building which bears his name. Any

into it without meeting opposition or

ANCIENT CHART OF THE WORLD.
There is in the possession of DR.. A. L.
Fuller. Of Drummer, says the Houston
(Tex.l Chronicle, what is probably one
of the oldest maps in existence 1t is an
atlas of all that was known of our ter
restrial globe in the year 1896, fifty-six
years before Columbus started out on
his immortal journey that opened up a
new world to the people of the old.
According to the map, all that was
known of the world was a strip of
country on all sides of the Mediterra-
mean sea, or what is now called such,
though at that time it bore another
name. The lower southern parts Of
France, Spain and Italy are shown.
portions of Austria are visible, and on
the body of water which is evidently
intended for the Black sea appear the
outlines of numerous houses which is
the #Constantinople of the present day.
The Mediterranean sea is shown, this
being the largest body Of water appear
Ing on the map, and the only body Of
water of any consequence with which
the people of that time were familiar;
the Strait of Gibra liar is clearly indi-
Gated and the northern coasts of Trip
oil and Tunis are shown. Arabia, too,
occupies position on this may,
though only portion of it was then
known as far as the Persian gulf, where
the line abruptly stops as if the people
had not penetrated the UNEMPLOYED re-
gions farther south which are known
as Hindoostanee and Afghanistan.
A circle drawn according to the fol-
lowing lines would probably comprise
all that was then known Of the world:
Starting at the Strait Of Gibraltar,
thence to Timbuctoo in the Sahara,
thence to Lake Chad. thence through
Egypt, crossing the Dead Sea into Ara
bia to Muscat at the mouth of the Per-
sian gulf, thence through Hindoostan
and East Turkestan, thence as far east
ais the Altai Mountains, thence north to
the Gulf of ODE, thence following the
coast line of the Arctic ocean west and
south to the place of starting, including
also the British Isles.
The map also shows with what fan
cifu1 and savage people and animals the
country was supposed to be inhabited.
"a portion of the topography shows men
of giant stature, while in another cor
ner is what was plainly considered the
dWarfs' country, as a comparison be-
tween the two races would show a diff
ference of probably twenty feet in their
height.
Fabulous animals are represented in
profusion, and birds in gay plumage
are made the sole living creature in the
southern extremity. Out west from the
city representing Jerusalem race Of
men are pictured with feet large
enough to shield them from the rays of
the sun; these are possibly the sun
worshipers. of which history says quite
a deal. Another race is shown as hav-
ing four arms and legs, while still an
other is endowed with the immense bill
of a pelican; some distinguishing mark
IS predominant in all the classifications
of bipeds save in proximity to the Med
iterranean sea, where the man is repre-
sentaa rs we know him to-day.

TO CONSIDER BAER,s OFFER.
Business Men Think Miners Should
Hold q Convention.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. Gust before
daybreak yesterday morning a squad
of Thirteenth regiment men, stationed
near the Grassy Island colliery, came
across an Italian striker named
Giuseppe Paprjello prowling about the
outpost with shotgun. He fired in
the direction in which the soldiers
were approaching, afterwards alleg-
ing he was shooting at Bird Col
onel Watres had received information
that Papriello was receiving arms AMI
ammunition, and last evening a de-
tachment Of two companies was sent
to his house. The soldiers found
there 10000 rounds of cartridges for
shotguns. No arms, however, were
found. Papriello was turned over to
Sheriff Schadt
Twice during Saturday night SEN
tries about the Thirteenth camp were
stoned and early in the evening a
train bearing troops from Olyphant
to Birdseye encountered a pile Of
rocks and felled tree across the
tracks.
1t was expected that this morning
would witness no end Of disturbances.
The strikers feel that Fridays confer
ence at the White House will dis
hearten many Of their members and
that it will be necessary to do the
most energetic kind of picketing to
prevent additions to the working
forces at the collieries. The soldiers
are also anticipating this and some
serious clashes are not unlikely.
There is q strong feeling prevalent,
especially among the business men,
that there should be a convention of
the strikers called to pass upon the
Baer proposition to refer to the dis
trict courts any dispute that cannot
be satisfactorily adjusted between
the miner and his employer. The OPP
orators declare that if such a conven-
ton was held and secret ballot
taSca the vote in favor of going back
to work on these terms would be al
most unanimous.
Mine workers leaders say the
proposition is sham intended to de-
ceive the public.
1t is wholly impracticable, they say,
and before the week is over locals
throughout the whole region will pass
resolutions commencing President
Mitchell for taking it upon himself to
ignore the proposal.
