Stockholm, Nov. 24.-The Nobel
prize for chemistry will be awarded
to Sir William Crookes of London.
Sir William Crookes discovered thalli.
UNI, an element in 1861 and invented
the raiometer in 1874. He was knight
ed in 1897 and has been closely iden-
titled with many of the most import
ant advances in science. Prof.
Crookes recently discovered a pro-
cess of extracting nitric acid from
the atmosphere, which it was an

There is quite stir among the re-
ligious workingmen of Sweden on ac-
! count of the conflict between the So
cial Democratic labor unions and the
Swedish labor association, and the
following resolution was passed by
unanimous vote at a religious work
ingmen's mass meeting in Stockholm:
Whereas, the principles of modern
Socialism are obviously antagcnistic
to the Christian religion, and whereas
the tactics employed in the Socialistic
agitation in many respects must be
discontinued, most emphatically by all
right-minded people, therefore, this
meeting, attended &by five hundred
workingmen, express as it's conviction
that a Christian cannot belong to the
Social Democratic labor unions and
the Social Democratic party. Fur
thermore, the meeting is of the opin-
ion that the religious workingmen
should organize no non-Socialistic Ia
Dor unions, but, on the other hand,
generally join the existing Swedish
labor association, a labor organization
which is neutral with regard to party
politics and religion"

MRS. U. s. GRANT.

Roosevelt were present, and the for
mer escorted the bride to the dining
room, where he offered a toast to the
long life and happiness of the
couple
The bridal toilet, while it had a
foundation of white satin, was richly
trimmed with old and new laces, the
former having family value The
same can be said of the jewels.
The presents of flowers, which ar
rived almost by the wagon load, con-
tributed all the extra adornment which
the house could possibly hold.
The wedding march was played by
the Engineers band from the Wash

Seek to Avoid Publicity.
The immediate destination of tho
young couple for the first days of their

however, their travels will be ar
ranged in quiet manner so that any
publicity may be entirely eliminated.
After their wedding trip Lieut..

The packages when opened were

grows in profusion, she expressed
