Swedish Plan to Manufacture Goods
Under American Invention.
According to Consul R. s. S. Bergh.
of G~othenburg, it, Is reported that an
English syndicate has lately bought
large p%eat-bog areas near the Boras-
Alfvesta Railroad in Sweden. 1t is
said hat preliminary arrangements
rave already been made for the manu-
facture of peat pasteboard n wrap
ping paper on a large scale.
The report say further hat the new
company. in which prominent Swedish
business men in London are inter
ested, will start with a capital OF f22b,-
900 ($1,094, $500, n has bought an
American patent for the manufacture
of paper n ~pastebourd from peat. It
Is remarked that the invention Is rath-
.er new, but has been practically tried
in New York, where the cost OF manu-
%facturee was So per ton, while the
price is $40 per ton. 1t is supposed.
however, that the manufacture here
Will be cheaper. because 1t is consid-
cred that the Swedish peat Is moro
suitable for this purpose than Ameri-
can peat. 1t Is claimed that 1t takes
only two hours to convert the peat
into paper. It is expected that the
factory or mill will start operations
some time next year.

One of these days the Committee on

generally lively. and somebody has
said thai 1t would be a great thing
for charity If 1t could hold forth in
the Auditorium or the Horse Show
Building.
The meeting yesterday was not i'm
portant, but 1t was spicy in spots like
a Lady Baltimore cake. Also IT was
funny. The members were called to-
gether to make some changes in tho
plumbing system, due to the fact that
the water pressure was no sufficient
to reach the top story for flushing
purposes. Estimates for IN improved
system We're requested.
One OF the members wanted to cut
a few slices OFF the fve-foot stone
wall in the rear OF the City Home. SO
that the inmates could view the glory
of Barton Heights from the bottom
porch. This gave the members a touch
of high life during the debate, but
the proposition was finally put on the

n1nIM nEAnING.

In the seventy.third selection of the
Psalms of David are written these
words:
"For I was ~envious at the foolish,
when ! saw the prosperity OF the
wicked.
,'They are not In trouble as other
men; neither are they plagued like
other men.
therefore pride compasscth them
about as a chain; violence %covcreth
them as a garment.
Their eyes stand out with fairness;
they have more than heart could wish.
They are corrupt, and speak wick
eddy concerning oppression; they speak
loftily.
They set their mouth against the
heavens. and their tongue walketh
through the earth.
therefore his people return hither,
and waters of a full cup are wrung
out of them.
And they say, How doth God know?
and is there knowledge in the most
high? :
Behold. these are the ungodly, who
prosper in the world; they Increase in
riches.
when I thought to know this 1t
was too painful for me;
Until 1 vent into the sanctuary OF
God; then understood 1 their end
Surely thou didst set them in slip
perry places; thou castedst them down
into destruction"
This was King David's picture of the
"malefactors OF wealth. who have
lived in all ages. And yet rich men
are not all malefactors, nor undesir-
able citizens. The action of Mr.. j. p.
Morgan In rallyinE the forces in New
York and battling against panic is
truly a ,Homeric picture, as though a
resurrected Achilles had come out OF
tent to change the fortunes of var
and turn threatened defeat into vic
tory. Mr.. Morgan has indeed shown
himself to be "a gallant captain of
finance, and the service OF himself and
his associates in this crisis will not
soon forgot.
