A Story Of Bjornsterne Rjornsos.

One day while in Norway an oppor.
tunity was given to me, says writer
In the Cosmopolitan. to have verified
the statement that the name Of
Bjornson means rs much rs the Nor.
wegian flag. A battalion Of Norwegian
and Swedish cavalry. infantry and ar-
tfllery. between three and four thous-
and strong. were returning from their
maneuyers to their post In Chr!stianla.
In passing Aulcstad. the general In
command sent his adjutant in advance

him an ovation.
With his family and guests assem-
bled about him on the vcranda. the
monumental figure stood with barred

low. presenting arms rs to their chief

Of personal salutatIon from each Of the
soldiers. who then joined in singing the
national hymn. to whose author they
were Offering this spontaneous salute.
There was the unique spectacle Of a
man in private life being accorded n
military. spontaneous demonstration
by the nations army which a king
might envy.
The love Of the Norwegians for their
poet and writer has Its origin in the
warm heart Of the man himself.
"Bjornson is so close to u.s." said n
Norwegian one day. "He Is In a1l our,
hearts, and we feel that his own heart

hing that was not good and noble. and
We must love him." Thus do the hearts

The Leading Heb,ow Of Now York.


While being. perhaps. the leading
Hebrew Of New York. Jacob Henry
Schifr is exceedingly cosmopolitan in
his ideas, and his benefactions are
wide-reaching. Not many Of Wall
Streets captains OF industry are as
conscientious as he Is in the matter Of
religion. 1t Is we'll known that he fol-
lows strictly the old Mosaic law which
stipulates that man shall give up
one-tenth Of his income each year to
charity and good works. Mr.. Schiff
follows this out to the letter. Those
who know him best declare that he
feels he would be virtually stealing
that amount of money II he did not
turn It over to his poorer brethren.
He hns given away millions Of dol.
lars. q large part Of which the public
hears nothing about. There are sew.
eral monuments to his generosity. with
which his name will always be closely
identified. Among them are the Mon.
tefiore Home. which 1t may be said
that he founded; the Jewish Theolog-
ical Seminary. which seems likely to
become the greatest institution of this
kind In the world. the Semitic Museum
at Harvard University, and the Nurses
Settlement on the New York East Side.
He Is q trustee Of the Baron de Hirsch
Fund. and he has been treasurer OF

ATLANTIC CITY.
A UNIQUE City blythe. sea.

Atlantic City has no season: 1t is peren'
nial. It has broken q tradition: that
seashore resort IL necessarily summer
resort. It took daring and imagination
on the part of the first man who decided
to spend his winter vacation at famed
summer place. and even more OF the same
qualities on the part Of the hotel keeper
who decided to keep his house open and
provide lodgings for whose might follow
in the trail blazed by the daring innovator.
The experiment succeeded decade ago.
The Gulf Stscan made it so. Geographi:
cai.y Atlantic City is the most favored
resort on the North Atlantic Coast. lts
great temperature regulator is the Gull
Stream, which approaches the land nearer
at this point than at any other place north
Of the Carolina coast. Thus the ocean
winds that come breezing out OF the east
are tempered to the winter sojourner and
made almost balmy and free from chill.

DENIED BY THOMAS F. RYAN.
Report That Metropolitan System Is Con-
cerned in Rumored Traction Combination.

The report Of impending consolidation Of the
traction companies of this borough and Brooklyn
was again brought out yesterday. in the form of
a published statement, in part follows:
1t is understood that legal papers preliminary to
a consolidation of the local traction companies
have been drawn and that some announcement in
regard 10 the merger may be made very soon.
Developments toward this end have been steadily
going forward for the last three months, or ever
since the sale of the Kuhn. Loeb & Co. interest
in Metropolitan to Thomas F. Ryan and his asso-
ciates took place. The form of the combination
is not definitely known, though il is believed ii
Will allow the Metropolitan Securities Company to

are expected to be made as the scheme for placing
agement develops
The foregoing statement read last night to
Thomas F. Ryan, who said:
There is no foundation for any such statement
far as the Metropolitan is concerned.
Mr. Ryan's unqualified denial necessarily removes
the Metropolitan system from consideration as a
factor in the alleged scheme of consolidation AS
TO the probability of a combination of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn
RAPID Transit Company in the future ii will
be remembered that only four days ago there was
published a Wall Street rumor that the INTERIOR
