COMPLIMENTS FOR
NEW MAGAZINE
'sVOR It'd" MAKES GOOD START
AMONG NORWEGIANs.
ABLY Manned and Strongly Backed,
Its Friends Feel that Its Future Is
Observation-Disclosures of the First
, Number Include Complete Novel
! by Arne Garborg.

Many flattering compliments are
being handed to the men behind ''Vor
Tld' for the creditable showing Of
the first number of the magazine. The
general wish among all Norwegians
In this country is that it may have
a better fate than numerous other
ventures in the same field. 1t has re-
ceived a much better start than 9TH
ers, and under the suspicious condi-
tons, should have long and hon
orable life. With Peer O. Stromme,
of varied talents In all fields Of lit
erature. as editori Olaf Huseby, OF
wide experience in publishing, as
cot and "angel," the new magazine
apears to be equipped with all that
is needful.
The first number contains sixty-four
pages Of reading matter. There are
no illustrations, but whether or not
this is a drawback depends on the
value placed upon the reading mat
ter. Arne Garborg's interesting novel,
Den Burtkomne Faderen," is given
complete in fifty chapters. A very
thoro review OF Norwegian music in
America Is presented in an article
by Carl Hansen Of the Minneapolis
Tidende. This Is without doubt the
most complete article on this subject
ever prepared. Editor Stromme pre-
sents an epilogue. poem and some
appropriate remarks for closing.
Among articles of interest are con-
tributions by Rev. N. B. Thvedt and
John DAZZLE. There are poetical con-
tributions by Sven Oftedal, Johannes
Haarvei, jobs. 3. Visit, F'ridtjof
Lunde, and a translation into Nor
wegian of Edgar Allan Poes 1.-THE
Black Cat" and other minor things,
including a particularly interesting
description of the Norwegian num-
bers in James Carleton Young's re-
markable library, by Olaf Huseby.

MINISTER'S ARE HEEDLESS
Ignore Many Prerogatives Of the
Swedish Riksdag.

Protest has been made in the Swed-
ish riksdag against several unwar-
ranted acts of members of the min
istry, and a serious break between
these two branches of the govern
ment Is possible. The largest num-
Der of complaints are made against
Marine Minister Palander, but War
Minister Virgin, and his predecessor.
Minister Crusebjorn, Foreign Minis
ter Lagerheim apd Finance Minister
Meyer are involved.
Minister Lagerhe1m is called to
task for ignoring the request of the
riksdag to take up the consideration
Of the important Norwegian consular
question. The other ministers have
In several respects undertaken enter
prises requiring state appropriations
without submitting the matter to the
riksdag. Admiral Palander built an
electric plant at Karlskrona, and ex-
ceeded his appropriations in several
instances. Moreover, he promoted to
commander a Count Hamilton, who
was disciplined for gross carelessness
In connection with the accident to the
warship Oden in 1901. Both he and
HI. Crusebjorn have appointed as
chiefs Of stats officers who were not
members Of the general staff.

QUICKLY Welded
Swedish Immigrants Joined Earlier
Than They Had Planned.

Axel Johansson Dalen and ELY Goe-
bart were sweethearts in Malmo,
Sweden and together they set out for
the new world. When their
steamer locked on Sunday night the
lovers were informed that they must
be married before they could land, as
neither had friends in this country.
They debated the question and early
yesterday morning told the immigra-
ton officials that they would consent
to the marriage. A trip was made to
the city hall, and on their return with
the marriage license the pair found
Rev. S. svenson, pastor Of the Swed-
ish Baptist church, 1904 Spring Gar
den street, awaiting them,
The bridal party assembled beneath
the big American flag that greets the
immigrant upon his entrance to the
country, and the marriage ceremony
was read. Following this the Rev.
Mr.. Svenson repeated a prayer in Eng
lish, and then in a few words eau
toned the bride and bridegroom upon
the dangers of the new world which
they were entering.

No Pensions for Bishops.

An effort to provide pensions for retired
bishops was recently defeated in the Swed-
ish riksdag by a vote Of 40 to Is. Sew
eral of the speakers declared that the
bishops on a salary Of $4,000 kroner q
year should be able to make provisions for
their old age without needing pensions
from the state. The underpaid clergy
were much more in need of old age PEN
sions than the bishops.

ly possible that Japan is in position to
conduct naval operations on the Bal
nc such a. thought Is incredible and
the act itself would be almost sui
cidal.
At the same time the paper cannot
understand why Site harbor has been
mined and it's defenses are being
greatly strengthened while nothing Is
being done at the other harbors on
Gothland.
