Like true dove Of peace, Baroness
Won Suttner has prompted the first OF
fetal expression of good will between
Norway and Sweden since the dissolu-
ton of their union last summer. AT a
dinner given in her honor at Chris
tiania on April Is, the Swedish envoy,
Hr. Gunther, in response to toast to
himself as the representative Of Swe-
den, declared that he was consistent
friend of peace and international amity.
He urged all those present to prevent
quarrels and disputes between nations,
and particularly between Sweden and
Norway, and expressed the hope that
all differences between the two neigh
Dor nations would soon be dissipated.
The sentiments : were cordially re-
ceived, and as the gathering was at
tended by many OF the leading officials
and most influential men in Norway,
the kindly words cannot but fail to
make a profound impression.
Baroness Won Suttner, who Is one OF
the most prominent advocates of inter-
national peace and the adjustment Of
war in favor of settlement by arbitra-
ton, came to Christiania to deliver an
tions of the peace prize of $4,000 pro-
vided for in the will Of the late AL
fred Nobel. and which was awarded
to her last fall by the Norwegian Nobel
committee. At the time she was I'M
able to leave her home, and it was not
until last month that she was able to
comply with the conditions of DR.. No
bells will. =, "a 5e*s 7->"
In the course Of her address she
spoke highly of DR.. Nobel, whom she
had known personally and exchanged
many letters as an ardent friend OF
the peace movement. 1t was on &C
count of the prominent position taker
by Norway in the conference Of 1891
when Norway, thru Premier Steen, be
came the first government to contribute
to the maintenance Of the international
trusted a Norwegian committee will
the privilege Of awarding the peace
prizes. The speaker spoke very highl,
of the efforts Of President Roosevelt
to prevail on the foreign powers t.
settle their disputes by treaty and arbi
tration rather than by the sword.
At the close of the address Foreig1
Minister Lovland, who is also chairma7
of the Nobel peace committee, gave
dinner which was attended by Premie
Nicholson, the president Of the stol
thing, several foreign ministers, Biorr
stierne Bjornson and number Of othe
invited guests.
John Lund, on behalf Of the commit
tee, thanked Baroness Won Suttner fc
her interesting ADDRESS and the Zes
with which she labored for the caus
and also greeted Minister Gunther, til
representative Of the country whic
had given DR.. Nobel to the world.
In her response the baroness spoil
more personally Of Nobel than in h,
address, and expressed the most Or
found gratitude for the cordial rece
tion.
Minister Gunther's remarks we
made in the kindliest' spirit and a
tracted much attention, as they we
entirely free from the courteous y
meaningless platitudes usually utter
by diplomats on such occasions.

Storks Leave Scania.

storks, which were once very num-

appearing. Twenty years ago there was

absence is due to the disappearance co.

WASKEY AND GALE

WITHIN three weeks the people of Alaska will cast their first vote. This election will give Alaska representation in congress, but the delegate elected will have no vote-he will be merely bureau of information for the Solons in congress to draw upon. His personal ity, however, will go great way in influencing favorable legislation for the territory, provided the proper man is sent there He must be man who will represent Alaska in congress and not Seattle.
 Thomas Gale comes up to all require ments He is honest and capable, and is a man of mature years and judge ment. He is neither lawyer nor politician, and the only thing his oppon- ents can urge against him is that he is a man of the people and miner. If the miners of Alaska stand firmly to- gether Gale will be elected. At all events he is certain of the Third divis- ion, and the split in the Republican party in Nome. due to the rivalry be- tween Dick Ryan and c. D. Murane, the republican nominee, will have a tendency to weaken Murane in his own district.
 Frank H. Waskey, the Nome candi- date for the short term, and running mate with Gale, is also miner. He is supported by the miners associations and labor organizations of Nome and is endorsed by the democrats. Gale and Waskey will poll heavy vote in that section.

Open Letter To
 J. Wesley Young

DEAR SIR:-PreSS advlceS state that you have been appointed Republican territorial committeeman at Rampant" by the late Juneau convention. This being the case, you now come before the people of this precinct in quasi public position and your motives and political methods subject to newspaper comment-in in other words. you are now a matter of news.''
 You have been made one of com mittee appointed solely to advance the candidacy of c. D. Murane for congress sional delegate and to insure his elect ion to the office if in your power to do so.
 : As you doubtless know, the Rampant Miners Association has endorsed the miners ticket Waskey and Gale. The membership of this association com prises nearly every bona-fide miner in the Rampant district. You are there fore politically opposing what the mi ners of the camp believe to be best for the mining industry. You now occupy an anomalous position commercially you are desirous of the friendship of the miner; politically you are his an tagonist! Is this your intention?
 It is w. known that one cannot serve both God and Mammon. You cannot support Murane and also retain the con- fdence of the miners in your sympathy with their cause. According to the law governing the election of delegate your own vote cannot do either candidate any good as you have not resided in AL aska continuously during the entire year immediately proceeding the cleo tion.'
 As you are aware, it was desired to keep party politics out of this election; that conditions demanded candidate who possessed qualifications other than party affiliations, but you and the petty federal ring in Rampant decided other wise and Rampant enjoys the question able distinction of holding republican meeting and not endorsing Cale-the only camp in the interior that failed to do so. Rampant was also the only in terior camp to nominate delegates to the Juneau convention.
 c. D. Murane received the republi- can nomination at Juneau because, 1t is alleged, he is the only man in the Nome

camp who can defeat the miners ticket Waskey and Gale, in the second divis- ion. Whether you will increase your political prestige by aiding, through your position as Murane committeeman, in the attempt to split the miners, vote and thus insure the defeat of Thomas Gale is question.

give Force 100000. A part of this he
paid out of his own pocket, but he gave
Force also $4,000 of bank stock held
by the Northwestern Company. 1t was
for the larcency of this bank stock that
Force was convicted. Recently Bechtel
was acquitted of embeZzlement of the

Michael Davitt, noted Home Ruler,

He was born in 1916, the son of a poor
Irish farmer, who was evicted from his

the serious discouragements which be-
set his youth, he rose rapidly to place

Mrs. julia West Hamilton presided and
Judge Calderhead, member of Congress
from Kansas, who was one of the speak
iers, gave her high praise for the man
ner in which she presided over the
meeting and introduced the speakers,
prefacing her remarks with beauti-
full tribute to the patriotism of the col
ored men who had fought in every war
and endured martyrdom to save the
Flag from stain. Among the numerous

head. himself a veteran, made a MEM
orable speech. 1t was a terrible ar
ra il nInrnt of those who would stir up
race prejudice, and his words of burn
ing eloquence brought solace to many
hearts wounded by the unkind 'slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune
iIIs splendid utterances were fc!cwcd
by almost constant applause, and su-
preIne regret was expressed that IL
would be impossible to preserve the
speech. entirely extemporaneous, in the
archives of the Corps.
Mrs. Isabel Worrel Ball gave talk
on the Flag, which she illustrated with
set Of some 25 Flags which she had
made, showing the evolution of SYM
bolS into the Stars and Stripes. She
showed also several different Flags
which the Confederate Congress seri-
ouSly considered adopting as the ma
tional emblem of the seeding States.
Mrs. Balls talk was both instructive and
entertaining, and she caused not little
amusement by telling how Betsey Ross,
Washington's shirt maker made the
first Flags, and then demonstrated how
Betsey cut the five-pointed star with one
snip of her shears.
Among others who added patriotic
fervor to the program of the evening
were Hon. John Dancy, eX-Register of
Deeds, and a second Booker Washing
ton for eloquencc; Rev. w. II. Brooks
Rev. NJ. w. ID. Norman, Rev. J. w.
Scott, and Rev. NJ. w. Clair. The ad-
dress OF welcome was responded to by

Glorious Flag" words by Mrs. Isabel
Worrell Ball, was sung with fine shad-
ing by DR.. Samuel A. Ward, and the
congregational singing of patriotic songs
was inspiring.
Taking ii all in all, 1t seems as though
the Flag idea had taken deep root in
this Southern city, owing to the seed
sown by the Woman's Relief Corps.

LEAVING HOME.
The Way the Boy. Started to War.

Editor National Tribune: Many times
have l thought of my leaving home for
the war. In my minds eye many times
that going" is before me, bright and
fresh as If it had happened but a few
days ago. After Sumter was fired on /
felt as if l should go-as If it was my
duty TO enlist-but hated TO say any
thing to my mother about ii. My faith
er died when l was not quite two years
old. When l was not quite six my
mother, two sisters and myself lived
with my uncle-her brother. He had
never married, and wanted mother TO
keep house for him. We moved from
Westmoreland County, Pa, to Mercer
County, Pa, where we were living when
the war broke out. ! worked on the
farm all Summer until one September
day, when we were finishing sowing A
piece of rye. / was finishing the drag
ging with an OK team, and Uncle was
cleaning out the burrows so as to drain
off the water, when ] saw a neighbor's
boy coming across the field toward me.
His first words We're: Charlie is going
to the war. Pa has gone to Millbrook
to see what he must have to take along
with him. Charlie wants you to go
with him. Come over tonight" My
first thought was-Mother ! finally
told him that | would be over at night.
1t was now about 4 o'clock. Mother
was away at one of the neighbor's, and
l felt as if l could not say / would go
until 1 had seen her. Uncle had been
saying that when we had finished that
piece of rye we would have a few days
TO rest before tackling one other job of
work, and l had been planning a good
deal on what 1 should do during those
few days.
When Uncle came to where was
working I made up my mind to broach
the subject to hini, and | said:
If you think you can finish the work
this Fall, 1 believe / viii go into the
army"
Il can do the rest of the work." he
replied but you had better not go, for
you will find mighty hard tines
Yes" 1 said, 81 know that; but
somebody has got to go.''
After l went to the house I waited
quite a while for Mother to come home,
but finally | went over to see Charlie,
though 1 could not promise him / would
go with him until / could talk with
Mother
When Mother came home It was
dark, and / was glad of that, for I could
not see her face nor she mine. Then
told her. For minute she said moth

something to cover up my ears to keep
bugs and other insects out while sleep
ing on the ground. She had numerous
other little things, such as a pin-cushion
full of pins, needle and thread, etc. all
ready. She had been reading the signs
of the times, and knew what was COM
ing. Like many other mothers. she was
ready to give her only son to her coun-

The Council of War.

A little after dark the corps and divi-
sion Generals met in Gen. Rosecrans's s
headquarters. 1t was a gloomy congre-
CATION. From the overwhelming num-
bers which had been encountered on
the right, some had gotten an exagger-
ated idea of Bragg's forces, and at least
one General is said to have expressed
the belief that the army was surround
ed, and that the only alternative was
an attempt to cut its way back to Nash
vile. Others were more hopeful that
Bragg's army had done its worst, and
that in its position the Union army
could now successfully resist any re-
newal of the attacks and possibly as
sumo the offensive. 1t is said that Crit
tenden wanted to resume his movement
by the left into Murfreesboro. Rose
Grams was exceedingly determined, and
announced his intention of fighting out
the battle there. The only question in
his mind was whether it would not be
better to withdraw the army to Over
alls Creek, some two or three miles TO
the rear. and receive the renewal of the
attack behind its steep banks.
(To be continued.)
