The News of Pensacola

Luverne, Is preparing to leave Tor hls new station and expects to leave for his by the middle of the week, it being his intention to spend Christmas with the Pensacola friends with whom he has worked for the past five years. Rev Rodgers, who has been assigned to this station in the place of Rev. Vreeland. expects to reach here by Monday and will then be taken in charge by the members of his new charge. Rev. Vreeland has made hundreds of friends during his stay.
 For the seamen.
 An entertainment was given at the Presbyterian church last night in the shape of a donation party, this being in the main raise funds for the merchant seaman who are in this port. There was fine attendance and the evening was spent enjoyable. The merchant seamen would hardly know it was Christmas were 1t not for the consid- eration given their welfare by the citi- zens of this place. The donations of gifts and fruits were turned over to Dr. H. c. Cushman. missionary of the Seamen's Society and a Christmas tree will be set up Monday for those sea travellers. This is one of the most kindly of acts that takes place here during the holiday season.
 Suit Is Settled.
 One of the most interesting of suits on claim was settled last night in the circuit court when the jury in the case of Aiken vs. Saunders returned a yer dict of $170 for the plaintiff. This was a case out of the ordinary. Saunders, the defendant. is the owner of tug boats, and entered into a contract for the towing of lighter loaded with lumber from St. Andrews to Pensacola During the voyage a storm arose and the barge was lost. The plaintiffs maintained that the loss was attribu- table to the carelessness of the defen- dant's agents, and brought the suit on such ground. The verdict was satis- factory. and the case will not be taken to another court.

gagement to the daughter of Duke Frederick Franz I. That person not unnaturally resented the insult and threatened dire things. Finally his threats crystalized into a demand for an enormous indemnity The money had to be raised at once The duchy of Mecklenberg advanced 1,25S,0O0 reichsthaler and took Wismar. Neu- kloster and the Island of Poel as se- curity.
 Under the conditions of the loan the city of Wismar and two government districts were to remain in pledge for one hundred years. At the end of that time Sweden could claim and obtain the pledged city and land by paying back the original loan with 3 per cent. compound interest. further provis- ion, however. of the loan was that should Sweden fail to take any notice whatever of the expiration of the time the contract would become renewed automatically for another one hundred years. The sum which Sweden would have to pay If she wished to claim Wismar and the two government dis tricts is figured as amounting to ST. from considerations of policy, operat- sertion of her rights.
 Thus we see that while the immedi- ate business transaction dates back but about one hundred years, any dip lomatic squabbles over the city now would have to revert to the surrenders and armistices of the Thirty Years

Swedish Town Becomes German After
 Being MOrtgaged for a Century.
 From The Pathfinder.
 Wismar, a port of 1S,000 people on the Baltic, situated in the German duchy of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin, but belonging legally to Sweden, has re- gently become a German city. It was pledged to King Gustav W for a loan of S1,000.000. and the King of Sweden having failed to redeem it within the century, 1t has passed to the Duke of Mecklenburg-S -Schwerin. from whose ancestor the money was borrowed
 In the early part of the eighteen n century Denmark. the most power- full enemy of Sweden. after the de- struction of the Hanseatic League. a kind of trade union established by cer- tain German cities for safety and com mercial purposes, captured Wismar and razed the fortifcations. After ward peace was declared and the city reverted to Sweden, but with the pro- vision that she should not rebuild the Notifications The place thus lost it's strength and importance and became instead an element of weakness to the Swedes. Its great sea trade was ru- ined and it's inland trade lost.
 Under these circumstances if was not surprising that the Swedes tired at last of their white elephant So in the reign of the incompetent and ex- travagant Gustavus ", with territory lost to the French in one war, with Finland lost to Russia, with defeat in a war against Norway, the Swedes seized an opportunity to relieve them selves of the burden of possession.
 The direct opportunity was given by the cancellation by Gustavus of his an-

 The story of how poor Luzerne County widow was granted life pen sion by George Gould of New York the American railroad king and multi millionaire. has just come to light. It unfolds q tragedy enacted on the American warship Chicago in the har- bor of Gravesend, England, before King Edward VII ascended the throne
 His royal highness, then Prince of Wales, paid the ship a visit in com pany with George Gould, the Wander bilts and some other prominent Amer jeans. It was after the war with Spain when American naval officers were feted in every foreign port.
 After paying their regards to the officers and inspecting the ship, his royal highness and party were about to take their leave, when George Gould. prompted no doubt by love of variety, offered a $10 gold piece as a prize to the sailor who would climb to

 About thirty entered the contest. among them being Thomas Quinn of Luzerne. In descending Quinn missed his balance and fell headlong to the deck, landing within four feet of the Prince.
 The dead sailor was the only son of a widowed mother, to whom he had sent a few dollars every month dur ing his time of service in the navy.
 Every month George Gould forwards to Mrs. Quinn an allowance far in excess of the amount she had received from her son, and she has been in- formed that the pension will continue during her life.
