A Declining Star.

Signora Eleonora Duse, the celebrated
actress, has just left Stockholm, after
q short and not altogether successful
visit. Ten years ago, when she came
here for the first time, she was at the
height Of her fame, and took JUS by
storm with her exquisite art, SO that
one in the joy Of seeing such wonder
full acting forgot or at least overlooked
the rather threadbare repertory in
which she appeared.
But ten years have passed. Duse
has grown older as we'll as her roper
tory. The charm she could throw over
the wornout plays she does not pos.
sess now. Her acting gives now the
impression of WEAKNESS and, to a GER
tain extent, carelessness. Her recep.
ton was not very warm after the first
night, from which the public went
greatly disappointed. After the second
performance she took to her bed and
already advertised performances were
cancelled. At last she came on the
stage again and gave one of Ibsen's
plays, Rosmersholm, in which she
partly regained her position with the
public and the critics. But the house
(the Royal OPERA was never more thar
half filed. The whole impression is
that Duse today is not the Duse Of
earlier days. 49,

hustled his horse from his stall and
hitched him to the little dogcart in
which the future senator rode.
Then big shout went up from the
convention hall, followed by LOUD calls
for Nelson. "Speech, speech,
speech!' rent the air, but Nelson was
gone.
A Nelson hacker, who suspected
what had happened, hurried off to the
barn, where he found the fugitive in
considerable confusion, not knowing
whether to continue his fight or return
to the hall and run the risk Of being
laughed at for his timidity. His
friend made him go back, however, and
the speech he delivered, accepting the
nomination, is described as an eloquent
effort.
AS is well known, Nelson has never
lost political battle, but at Token
Creek the 'sLittle Giant of Alexan-
dria'' had shave too close to be
forgotten.
According to his old Deerfeld neigh
bors, Knute Nelson was the most in
dustrious fellow in the community as
he grew up. He was very seldom
known to waste time. After returning
home from school at the enc Of a term,
he quickly put aside his Sunday
Clothes" as the saying was, donned the
homemade overalls, and took hold OF
the farm work with a will. His
physical strength was great and the
amount Of work he accomplished was
out Of the ordinary.
His willingness to work is well illus
trated by this anecdote, the truth Of
which is vouched for by some of his ole
neighbcrs: A new house was being
built on the Nelson homestead. The
masons were laying the foundation, ant
they did not wish to interrupt thei

things is anything but encouraging to

it's doors for good, and the same is the

the same kind. .,... .-. :.s

voices have also been heard in Norway
saying that perhaps after all the &C

statesmanlike act which it has been
said to be. Two prominent Norwegian
clergymen have just recently simultan

matter and in no undecided way given
expression to doubt on this hand
which is perhaps more widespread thar
one has had cause to believe.

As a student young Nelson was most
diligent.

of l6, he was an exemplary student,
faithful and industrious, never missing

he supported himself BY doing work as

task for a busy boy.

When the civil war broke out, Nelson
was still student at cold Albion, =
He was one of the first to signify his
intention to- enlist by getting out on
the campus with an old musket to drill.
Fourteen other students did likewise,
and military enthusiasm rose high in
the sequestered village, while they
marched around the beautiful green
campus with muskets on their shoulders.
Nelson was at the front for three
years, participating in many fierce bat
ties, including the capture of New
Orleans, the battles Of Baton Rouge
and Camp Bisland, the first siege of
Vicksburg, and the taking Of Port
Huron He enlisted as private and
was mustered out as a sergeant.
Immediately on his return home he
re-entered Albion academy, despite the
fact that his classmates had long since
was a full grown man on his return
from the war, and his face was bearded.
Needless to say he was regarded by all
the younger students with no little re-
spect and ave. He graduated with
the class Of '65. Returning to the
institution in 1866, he pursued adj
vanced studies and taught some of the
beginning classes.
In the study of law, in which he
entered in 1866, just after leaving
Albion, Nelson was associated with a
man who has attained great distinction
William F. Villas of Madison. In
his law office the young Norseman
studied SO theoretically that in year
he was admitted to the bar. One of
his best friends at this time was Philip
L. Spooner of Madison, the father of
John C. spooner, and in 1867 Nelson
came near forming law partnership
with the future Wisconsin senator.
When Nelson went to Washington in
1885, as congressman, he found Villas
there as postmaster general and
Spooner as senator from Wisconsin.

town s chief glory. He went there IS
child of 10 and lived there almost
continuously till he was nearly 80.
Whom he removed to Minnesota, he was
already known as successful lawyer
and politician.
Every old resident Of Deerfeld likes
to make out that he was among the first
to predict the future eminence of
Senator Nelson, and cites various rea-
sons upon which he based his predic-
tions. One quality that all observed
in him was his farsightedness. He
seemed, they all agree, to see the future
significance of things better than any
body else; hence he seldom acted I'M
wisely, but did the right thing. at the
right time. His removal to Minnesota,
at time when he was making his mark
in Wisconsin, seemed to many a strange
step then, but it was in line with his
farsightedness, they say now, and was
the opening up Of greater possibilities
for young Norwegian than Wisconsin
afforded. ~=Z
Every old resident Of the little vii
lage also wishes to relate anecdotes
and stories about Senator Nelson as a
boy or young man. Many Of these
pertain to his early efforts as a lawyer
at Cambridge, small town six miles
southeast of Deerfeld. If these yarns
are true, OF half true, the young attor'
ney must have been unusually shrewd
and resourceful.
One Of the most interesting of the
stories Of Nelson 8 early life bears OF
his first nomination as member Of the
Wisconsin legislature, in 1867. The
convention was held at Token Greek, 6
small village some ten miles northeast
of Madison. There were three can
didates for the nomination besides
Nelson, and the balloting lasted severa
hours. At first the young Norwegian
kept up a brave front, but when thu
convention resolved itself into dead
lock, his courage forsook him; h
thought himself defeated. Not wishing
to face the large crowd after the humil
| iation of defeat, he stole from the con

Export Duty on, Iron Ore.

The question Of placing an export
duty on the iron ore shipped from Swe-
den is not new one. Last year pri-
vate members brought in a bill to that
purpose and it was even passed in the
second chamber, but thrown out in the
first. AS this was matter of revenue
and the chambers had come to different
resolutions, they had to vote together
on it, with the result that the bill was
finally defeated.
This year several bills have been
brought in by private members with
the same purpose. The proposals vary
between Is ore and 3 krona per ton.
The most likely proposals are, however,
those which put the duty at 30 ore, or
even at l krona, per ton.
The likelihood of one of these propos-
ais becoming law this session is much
greater than last year. At present
there is in parliamentary circles, espe-
cially in the radical left, prevailing an
opinion that the only way the state has
to get back something Of it's own, the
natural mineral wealth in it's mountains
| which, thru carelessness, has passed
into the hands Of private individuals,
| is to levy a tax on every ton shipped
| in the shape Of an export duty. At the
same time as the state would get not
despicable addition to the revenue
| (last years export amounting to about
$500 900 tons would thus have rendered
100000 kroner if the duty had been
put at krona). Such tax would
/ tend to encourage the iron industry in
Sweden, as it would make it worth the
while to turn the iron ore into good
Swedish steel before shipping it.

Denmark and Sweden,

Our friends the Danes aro also begin
ming to feel little uncomfortable at
the state Of things. The widespread

the Danes took in the union conflict
last summer has had it's effects as re-
CARDS Swedish Danish commercial rela-

ter encouraged the present king Of Nor
way to take the risk Of ascending the
Norwegian throne even before the diff
culties between Sweden and Norway
were settled has not been forgotten.
The Danish merchants are now begin
ming to feel the effects Of this. The
south Of Sweden has been an excellent
market for them, but there is no doubt
that it is not so any longer.
