DENMARK.
The exact cost of the new co,nt.
| house in Copenhagen is $1,837 ,252.80.
|: Bech Olsen, the champion wrestler
OF Denmark, is contemplating the es-
| adjustment of circus of his own.
A Copenhagen daily points out that
the wave of irreligion which swept
Copenhagen during the latter part of
the nineteenth century has been fol-
lowed by general decentralization
which reminds one Of Paris. About
one hundred years ago Copenhagen
| passed thru an almost similar ex-
perlence. But that time the down.
ward movement was checked by a
| powerful religious revival. Will new
revival come and save the city this
time?
Mr.. Jacobsen, the millionaire brew
er, who has spent hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars for the advancement
of science and art in the Danish cap
1tal, noticed boy climbing on some
statues adjoining the front of the
Plypototek, statue gallery on which
Jacobsen has spent large amounts of
money. The sensitive lover Of art
| could not stand this dissertation, and
he grabbed the boy by the arm. The
fierce screams of the boy soon brought
a big crowd of people to the place,
Hand the police took up the matter At
| the police station it was found that
| absolutely no harm had been done to
| the boy, and Jacobsen did not have to
submit to the humiliation of being
! called to the police station on charge
of assault and battery
FINLAND.
The landtdag of Finland has had
what might be called a woman's day,
number Of women occupying seats in
| that body, having introduced important
| bills on the same day. The general
! aim of the bills is to improve the lot
of the children Of Finland. Mrs. He'd
| Wig Gerhard wanted to give the courts
| the right to exact compulsory oath
| to ascertain the fatherhood of illegiti-
| mate children, and she further de-
| manded that such children receive the
| name of their father as we'll as the
same proportion of his property as the
rest of his children. Another lady
| wants the local governments to do
more than they are doing for neglected
| children A male member of the landt-
| dag rose to thank the women for
pleading the cause of the weak, and
| permitting not only the head but the
| heart to express itself"
SWEDEN.
Princess Maria Pavloovna, the
| f1ancee of Prince Wilhelm of Sweden,
| is the most beautiful princess at the
court of Russia.
It Is reported that King Edward will
visit Scandinavia this summer, and
while on cruise in the Baltic sea, he
| may meet Gear Nicholas of Russia.
oscar and Sofas Golden Wedding
Fund for Social Work., will be the
name of the gift Of $4,000 from the
king and queen Of Sweden to the CEN
trail union for social work:
J. E. Frygberg, of Upsala, has a
dog for which he has been offered
| $4,000, but he will not sell it for less
than $4,000. The dog is a pointer and
| has won many prizes for his master
The extensionf<o Drottning street,
Stockholm, will necessitate a bridge
across Morrstrom. The bridge is to be
granite veneered and to have three
spans. Three prizes, $3.50, 1910 and
$40, have been offered for the best
designs, and the whole world is in
| vited to compete for the prizes.
Eighteen families, consisting of 81
persons, were evicted July first from
| the Grows Palace" building south
of Astra Sion, Stockholm. The Incl
dent is interesting chiefly because it
| required litigation dragging along for
eleven years to accomplish this re-
suit.
The best paid pastor in Sweden is
the one serving the Jaskasjarvi par
ish, NOrrbotten. He is receiving over
$4,000 year, and this amount is in
creasing from year to year. The XII
runa iron mines contribute most Of
the money. The day does not seem
to be very distant when the pastors
salary at this place will be $4,000 or
even more.
A labor conflict on the Rabelof
estate, Kristianstad Ian, is of such a
peculiar character that it deserves a
good-sized paragraph. The employer,
Chamberlain Kennedy, gave his labor
ers the wages demanded by them. But
in order to feel safe in the future he
| offered to sign contracts with the men
for definite period of time, a complete
contract to be made for each individ-
ual and signed by both parties But
this did not satisfy the men. They
demanded a single contract for the
whole bunch of them. Mr.. Kennedy
found this arrangement too risky, and
so firm were both parties that the
men quit work. In order to save his
crops Mr.. Kennedy hired help abroad.
A Swedish prince betrothed to a
Russian princess is something to talk
about. In the first place the engage
ment of Prince Wilhelm of Sweden to
Grand Duchess Maria Pavloona of
Russia will establish more peaceful
connections between the two countries.
This is the first time that a Swedish
prince ever married a Greek Catholic
princess, and the imperial family of
Russia will have to break with the
ancient habit of having persons mar
ried into the family join the Greek
orthodox church. Maria Pavloona is
related to the rulers of most of the
countries of Europe.
The Svea Steamship company of
Stockholm has offered to run a steam
er every week from Sweden to any
Russian seaport, if the Swedish gov
eminent will grant subsidy of $4,000
| year.
The government has asked for bids
for ten new sleeping cars of a new
type, to be used on the railway run
ming from Stockholm to the great
cities of Southern Sweden
The Klara parish, Stockholm, has
