BILLY MULD0OM GIVES
PROPERTY TO CHURCH
Famous Wrestler Has Presented His
Training Farm to Bishop Cotton.

billy Muldoon, the famous wrestler.
has just presented his extensive and
beautiful estate, known as "Muldoon' 5
Farra." previously used as a training
school OF his art. to st. Patrick's Ro-
man Catholic Church. of Belfast, ~. Y,
to be converted into a convent. The en-
tire property has been given to Bishop
Cotton, of Buffalo. who was formerly
pastor OF St. Stephens Roman Catholic
Church. in Twenty-eighth Street, New
York
The 'Muldoon Farm is well known
throughout the United States as the
place where many famous athletes have
been trained into condition for cham
pionship contests. and where, too many
prominent members of New York's 400
have studied physical culture. The only
condition which the former owner has
attached to the transfer of the buildings
and grounds to Bishop Cotton is that it
sho,il3 always remain the property of
the church. and that the mansion should
be used exclusively as a convent, while
the other buildings should be utilized for
educational and charitable purposes.
Bishop Cotton will set about at once to
convert the buildings into the uses for
which they were given by the generous
donor.
Il desired to give my property" said
Muldoon. Ito some church or organIza-
ton where it could be converted into

gift to the Roman Catholic Church,

my wishes and desires"
1t was at Muldoon Farm that John l.

! tial and prominent men of New York,
including leading representatives of the
financial and social world Of the En-
pire State. have been visitors and tenn
porary residents OF MuldCO5: Farm in
years gone by and gratefully admit that
the unique treatment they then re-
ceived. coupled with the compulsory
participation in novel exercises in phys
ica4 culture that were enforced under
the roof of the farm, was the chief fac
tor in regaining for them health and
! happiness.

TEACHERS FROM SWEDEN !
Are Studying American Educational
.' Methods.

Among the many visitors whom the
ST. Louis exposition is bringing to the
United States are several educators from
Sweden who are taking this opportu-
nifty to study the American educational
system, especially one feature Of it
the instruction in physiology and by
giene, including the effects Of alco-
holic drinks and other narcotics.
Some of these Swedish educators
have already arrived and others are
coming later. Miss Signe Almquist
of Stockholm, a member of a we'll
known family of educators in that
city, comes in the interest Of the pri-
vate schools. Mats Dalborg, an, in
structor in the public schools Of
Stockholm, representing the board Of
common schools, is inqutring into this
instruction from the standpoint Of the
public school teacher.
Opportunities have been afforded in
schools in and around Boston for these
Swedish educators to see the work in
this subject done in the successive
school grades, beginning with the first
primary, and they have expressed the
keenest interest and pleasure in the
practical demonstration of the meth
eds by which these children are being
taught how and why to observe the
laws Of health.

SWEDEN'S GRAND
OLD Man HONORED
ADOLF HEDIN'S 10TH BIRTHDAY
BRINGS FLUCTUATIONS.
For Thirty-f1ye Years He Has Been
Working for the Peoples Interests
in the Riksdag- Graham Taylor of
Chicago Encourages Observance Of
May II.

Adolf Hedin, who is called "the
grand old man of Sweden" Y his
most enthusiastic admirers, was 70
years old a fortnight ago, and the an
niversary called forth the warmest
from all parts Of
Sweden. While active in several fields
of usefulness, Mr.. Hedin's greatest
services to his country have been rem
dered In the riksdag, of which he
has been member thirty-five years.
From the first he was an ardent
advocate Of religious and political
freedom; urged that Jews and Cath
olics should be eligible to office; that
the clergymen should be more than
mere government officials; that child
labor should be abolished; that the
electoral suffrage should be extended:
sought reforms in the barbarous penal
system, and, in fact, has been iden-
titled with all reform movements in
Sweden.
In particular he has been the cham
pion Of the lower house Of the riks-
dag in seeking to restrict the powers
of the king and the first chamber and
to vest 1t in the second chamber, the
representative legislative body Of the
country. In this work he has been
active, watchful and persistent.
In these days there has appeared
a large collection of his addresses
and writings during the forty years
in which he has been a leader in
Swedish politics. The work was ed
tied by Valfrid Spangberg.

MEETING OF MAY II
Celebration of the Day Encouraged by
a. Chicago Educator.

70. a 3 = d
An intelligent conception Of the
spirit is held by Professor
Graham Taylor Of Chicago who, in
the Daily News of that city, writes as
follows on the observance Of the Sew
enteenth Of May.
Among all our cosmopolitan popu-
1ations- there is no better exemplifca-
ton of the value and practicability of
combining an international spirit with
national loyalty than our Norwegian
fellow citizens give us as they cele-
dence day. While celebrating in
song and story the day on which this
constitutional independence was won
across the seas, no citizen to the man
ner born glory more In American in
dependence on the Fourth of July or
claim more Of its freedom on every
other day Of the year than these free
born sons of the old Morse vikings.
Indeed, some Of them are so sensitive
ly loyal to the flag Of their new father
land that they oppose marching dem
onstrations which bear thru the
streets of our city the banners Of the
old world. But do the others think
less Of their American citizenship for
thinking so much of their mother
land? Do not those who flock back
to the flords Of the northland every
summer, return to us to be all the bet
ter citizens for their filial devotion?
! It is. this very spirit Off the love Of
home and history upon the part of all
our people which we need to cultivate
in our public schools, by all the ma
tional societies who cherish these
home heritages, and by all the reci-
procities which the representatives Of
each race can show the others in this
common household Of all the peoples.

It was the latter's intention to have the
monument placed on the battlefield OF

the thought Of Sweden placing a memoir
