 Neither America nor Great Britain has a woman painter who can com pare with the Swedish Anna Boberg, the only polar artist.

 It is strange and directly contrary to what one would naturally expect, but the common people of frozen Northern Europe are more advanced in intelli- gence than those of the south The far ther north one goes, too. the more intel ligent the people are. till we reach al most the remote edge of habitableness. It, is fact. for instance, that in Nor way there Is much less iIliteracy than in some of Our own Southern States, with all our boasted freedom and en- lightenment. Education Is compulsory in Norway, as In all Scandinavia. In Finland. whose arctic border is roo miles north of the northernmost edge of Labrador, the co-educational system has existed for nearly 300 years. and the women have legal and civil rights such as are enjoyed in only four States of the American Union. They have full suffrage.
 Undoubtedly darkness. eight months winter and the seclusion of the snow bound to conduce to study and deep re- nection. Writers intensely thoughtful intensely imaginative, are the product of frozen lands. Swedenbourg was Swede. Ibsen a Norwegian, Tolstoi is Russian. The forerunner of the pres ent day woman story writer was a Swede Frederika Bremen. She was also the foreTunner of the new woman of Sweden. In Stockholm is the Frederika Bremen Club of today, noted for it's good works in all that pertains to the advancement of the feminine sex. Neither Swedish women nor men do things by halves. Their natures are too intensely earnest for that.

Shooting Scrape at Horse Show.

Much excitement was caused Tues
day afternoon just as the Horse Show
came to a close, by an episode that
came near costing Mr.. VIM. Walter
his life. He was acting as special
policeman for the Horse Show ard in
charge of the grand stand. AS the
show ended and the people were leav-
ing the stand. according to Mr.. Wal.
ter's statement, Happier Brooks and
another negro boy, whom Mr.. Walter
did not know. attempted to go into
the stand to see if anything of value
had been left by the visitors. and when
Mr.. W. objected, they began to swear
at and abuse him. He appealed to
VIM. Brooks, Jr., brother of one of
the boys to stop the distur bance, but
he took sides with the two negro boys.
Whereupon Mr.. Walter drew his re-
volver, which VIM. Brooks jerked from
bis hand, and fired at him. Five shots
were fired, three of them going wild,
one pierced Brooks hand and the other
striking Mr.. Walter on the head, but
fortunately did not penetrate the skull.
Bystanders interfered. and placed Mr..
Walter in hack and he was brought
to the city. After the wound was at
tended to his was taken home. Brooks
was arrested and lodged in Jail. Later
Happier Brooks and Frank Matthews
were landed in Jail, but it was thought
a mistake was made in the arrest of
Matthews and he was released.
If Mr.. Walter is able to appear the
preliminary trial will be held this

The Railroads Yield.

A II the railroads in the State have
formally signified their acceptance OF
the two-cent rate order of the State
Incorporation Commission. as promul-
gated April q. This action was made
known at l1:30 Saturday night, when
communication addressed to Gov.
Swanson, signed by H. Il. Wickham
for the Chesapeake and Ohio; Alexan-
der Hamilton, Atlantic Coast Line;
Joseph l. Doran, Norfolk and w estern,
and Alfred P. Thorn of the Southern.
announced the determination of the
roads to acquiesce in the suggestion of
Gov. Swanson, who bad addressed a
communication to counsel for the roads
named above.
The governor informed the railroads
that it was his desire to see equal Jus
tice done the roads and the peopIe.
nothing more and nothing less; that
both had rights, and that it was his de
termination to see that the laws of the
State are enforced, and that the Ter.
ests of the corporations and people
would be observed by an '.amicahle ar
rangement pending litigation"
He then suggested that the roads
submit to the order of the commission
as originally promulgated, to become
effective not later than October l, the
rate to remain in full force and effect
until finally adjudicated.
In reply the lawyers for the railroads
say that they will ask for an order
amending the injunction of the federal
court so that the terms of the agree.
ment can become effective.
The belief Is that the railroads real
lied the futiliLy of prolonging the strug
gle, saw certain defeat staring them
in the face and appreciated the deter.
mination of Gov. Swanson and the
State officials to force compliance with
the law. In case the matter should be-
renewed by the federal courts the re-
cord made up in the hearing before the
corporation commission is to constitute
the evidence to be presented.
1t is said that the clerks. respective
ly, of the House and Senate. under in
structions from the governor, In antici-
patton of further prolOngation of the
struggle, had prepared letters to be
senJ to members of both branches of
the general assembly, calling an extra
session for the purpose Of legalizing
the position of the commission and
adjusting the railway situation. The
governor had also prepared his pro.
clamation converting the legislature
in extra session.
