A clash between the followers of
Annie Besant and the theosophists of
the Katherine A. Tingley or universal
BROTHERHOOD school, occurred at a
meeting held in the Royal Academy
of Music, Stockholm. About four hun
dred Tingley adherents were present.
Resolutions were passed denounc1ne
Mrs. Besant and refusing to acknowf
edge her right to call herself the rep
resentative of their leader. Editor
forster Hedlund, one OF SWedens
ablest journalists and owner OF an
influential paper, spoke Warmly
against Mrs. Besant and others fol-
lowed his example. They found fault
with her particularly for permitting
G. w. Leadbeater, who was expelled
by the Tingley faction, to remain In
the Philosophical society. Swedish
theosophists for the most part have
gone over to the Tingley organization.
The Swedish cabinet has appointed
a committee TO inquire into the pos
sibility of legislation with reference
to labor agreements, in case such leg

expedient to propose new laws as we'll
as amendments to the laws relating
to servants, and to consider questions
of a kindred nature and propose need
ed remedies" The committee is COM
posed of ten very prominent men
who represent different interests. The
premier stated the reasons why the
government appointed such commit
tee, saying in part: ''The laborers on
the one hand and the employers on
the other are building up strong Or
CARNATIONS, and the strife between the
two parties is becoming more and
more vigorous, profoundly affecting
our social life. The matter has not
become less important since the strug-
gle was extended to the field of ag-
riculture Hence, society, the state,
| can no longer remain an idle specta-
tor in face of events, which may cas-
| lily cause grave disturbances OF the
most important functions of our So
cial life" To Judge by the thorough
| ness with which the government has
taken hold of this great problem, a
bill embodying a system of laws for
regulating the relations between en-
| ployer and employe may be presented
! to the riksdag some time next year.

Butter OUTPUT.

st. Peter-The butter output OF
Minnesota has almost doubled in IT.
teen years, and the total expense Of
manufacture is less than it was then.
The development of the creamery sys-
tenn has increased the capacity Of
plants and led to greater economy.
Figures compiled by w. w. Wall,
secretary of the state dairy and food
commission, make an interesting
comparison between the creamery out
put of 1889 and of 1904, the last year
for which there are complete records.
The butter output of creameries in
1889 was 44,007,933 pounds, and the
cost of manufacture to the creameries
was $930,739.95, or 81 cents a pound.
In 1904 the total output was 1885,
459 pounds, and the expense was only
$Ss4,392.94, or less than in 1889. 1t
amounted to only IL cents pound.
This saving went into the pockets
of the farmers who supplied the
creameries, and they also gained by
the higher price secured for Mime
Esota butter in the eastern markets:
In 1889 creamery patrons were paid
for milk the sum of $6,959,914.55. and
the average price paid for butter fat
was IT'S cents a pound. In 1904 the
total paid to patrons was $780,
460.55, and the average paid for but"
ter fat was 1914 cents a pound.

SWEDEN.

The chancellor of the universities
has asked for an appropriation of 1910
for giving free instruction in liturgical
singing to the theological students at
the anniversary of Lund. Professor
Wicksel handed in a protest, which
he explained in the following terms:
Il am great admirer of church mu-
sic as species of art, and if an ap-
preparation were proposed for culsi
waiting it in the interest of art and
music would gladly vote for it. With
regard to the divine services as they
are actually found in our churches, 1
think they are in sore need of such
great and thorough changes that
cannot contribute towards making
them more attractive by external ar
rangement while their intrinsic de-
fects remain undiminished.
The main features of the dedication
of the Gustaf Adolph chapel at Lut-
zen, Germany, Nov. 6, were as follows:
At lis p. M. there was a gathering
at the court house square, where a
procession was formed. At 1870 the
procession started for Schwedenstein.
At 2 o'clock the people were gathered
at Schwedenstein, where the exercises
were opened with the singing of "A
Mighty Fortress Is Our Cod" Privy
Councillor Pank, president of the Gus
tat Adolph society, made the festival
address, a students chorus from Up
sala sang a song, and wreaths were
deposited. At 2:20 the procession
started for the Gustaf Adolph chapel,
which was formally given to the city
of Lutzen. The chapel was opened
by Archbishop Ekman of Sweden, and
dedicated by him and Superintendent
jacob. At o'clock the procession
returned to the court house square,
where cheers were given for the kaiser
of Germany and the king of Sweden.
The above was written according to
the official program.

Injured by q Mower.

Last Friday afternoon Harry Ben
nett, son of Henry Bennett, of
Graysyille, almost lost his life in a
runaway accident. His sister was
driving team attached to a mower,
when one of the horses kicked over the
tongue at a fly and fell to the ground.
Miss Bennett jumped from the seat
and called for help; but the horse
struggled and got upon its feet and
the team started to run. Young Ben
nett ran to head them off but was
struck by the tongue of the mower and
thrown to the ground, where he WAS
struck in the side with one of the
sickle guards and badly wounded.
He was taken home and a physician
promptly called, and the young man
is reported as in a fair way of recov-
cry. He certainly had a very narrow
escape from death.

At the same time he secured medi-
cine to be taken internally. When he
got home he got the two kinds mixed
and took one of the tablets given him
to make the wash. The drug was a
deadly poisin and the tablet contained
enough to exterminate everybody
about the place. But the quantity
was what doubtless saved Mr.. Reag-
