SWEDISH QUEEN s CHAMBERLAIN
WAS MIR. YoUNG's GUEST.
Count Wrangle Was Here Two Weeks
Ago, but Mr.. Young Considers It q
Point Of Honor that He Pass No
Opinion ON Guilt or Innocence Of His
Friend, -. -.t5.s&

The Journals cable fro Stock
holm yesterday giving an account Of
alleged populations Of Count F. U.
Wrangle, chamberlain to Queen Sophia
OF Sweden, aroused more than ordi-
nary interest here, because it was only
guest for ten days Of James Carlton
this city, and in a social way met many
Minneapolis people.
According to the Stockholm dispatch
the count has been exned from Sweden
because. Of his alleged dishonesty, his
last otfense being the responsibility for
the discrepancy in his accounts with
the queen amounting to 100000 to 800,.
600 crowns. Other offenses Of a simi-
lar nature had been squared by his
brother, the present Swedish minister
to the court Of St. James.
OF course, the count having been Mr..
Young's guest, Mr.. Young considers it
point Of honor not to speculate on the
guilt or innocence Of his distinguished
visitor.
Invited to Be Guest.
Mr.. Young had long been acquainted
with Count Wrangle's literary work.
The count, besides being man Of high
rank in the Swedish court. and having
the entree into any court Of Europe,
was also bright literary light. He
wrote most of the modern European
languages. He was considered an au.
thority on heraldry and had written q
book which was considered a standard
Europe. Therefore, When Mr.. Young
learned that the count was to visit this
country on a tour Of observation, he in
vited him to become his guest in case
his travels brought him to Minneapolis
| =, Accordingly Count Wrangle became
the guest of Mr.. Young three weeks
ago, and most agreeable guest he
was. His manners, Of course, were
apantancpe With eVerybtd2 Ris b5Tate that
amounts to much in Europe made him
the center of every company in which
he was introduced. His literary fame
was not the least quality that appealed
to Mr.. Young. connoisseur in books thai
he Is.
Nothing About 'tDisgrace.
If the count was in disgrace at thu
Swedish court, the matter had not thel
trickled thru the international news
channels to the American press, an(
naturally the distinguished visitor wa
too much Of a gentleman to obtrud
affairs purely personal on man who's
guest he was and whom he had neve
seen until he met him here. Mr.. Young
moreover, made it a point Of homo
to see that his guest was not annoyed
by coming in too familiar contact witt
the everyday life Of Minneapolis; tha
he met men and women approachin,
his rank in social and intellectual
way, and that he saw as much Of tn
city and it's activities as he cared t.
see: Then the count departed.
Now comes this Stockholm repor
that the count is away from Swedel
for the good Of the Swedish roya
household, and that it will not be goo
for him if he returns. In short, h
is branded as common embezzler s
far as his business career is concerned
| Nothing IS left Of his reputation ez
cepting his literary works, and as mos
Of those are bound: in the best style
Of the Swedish bookbinding art, an
can only be obtained at something hk
400 crowns a volume, there is littl
interest in the titled author in Mir
neapolis.
