sending an expression Of sympathy TO the royal
family but just what will be done will not be
decided on until official communication is received
from our representative at Washington"
John Aspengren, OF Aspengren & Co., OF the
Produce Exchange, said King Oscar a man
exceedingly loved by his people everywhere. His
great aim as sovereign was TO make his people
happy" he said IF anything can be said by mis-
critics at home it is that he overland in
ruling his people AS far the friction between
the Norwegans and Swedes is concerned. think
that has all passed away There is nc doubt that
King Oscar tried to do his best, and. while the
new King will make frrner ruler, he will adopt
many of the generous policies of his father. OF
course, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce will
adopt resolutions of regret at its meeting to-day
and decide on what plan of action to take"
Andrew Carnegie spoke highly of King Oscar in
a conversation with the Rev. A. B. Lila Of the
Swedish Lutheran Immigrant Home of this city. at
the National Conference of Immigration held in
this city in February, 1906 Mr.. Carnegie said:
king Oscar was respected by Americans and all
good thinking people in every country because ne
made peace between Norway and Sweden without
tho loss of one drop OF blood He let Norway have
her independence without causing an unnecessary
struggle"
Mr. Lila considered King Oscar as man espe-
cially fitted to rule his people on account OF MS
ability and learning las soon as the SWedlsh
consul is consulted there is doubt that steps VIII
be taken to hold religious services in all the
Swedish churches" he said.

DR.. Macarthur said that II had been long time
since he had in the daily papers discussion
so "supremely silly the question of singing
Christmas carols in the public schools Certain
excitable Brooklyn clergymen." continued DR.. Mac
Arthur "are responsible for the latest feature of
the discussion. They rushed into the thick of the

they were expected to appear before the Board Of
