The second chamber of the riksdax
spent half day discussing propo-
sition to apply whipping as punish
ment for certain crimes. The discus
sion was very instructive. The So
cialists were opposed to whipping
law as class legislation. The most
telling blows against the bill came
from Conservative members who look
upon corporal punishment as back
ward step in the march Of civilization
The bill was defeated by vote Of
121 to 81.
Some time ago many Swedish pa
pers contained an announc cement stat
ing that lady who was about to in.
'herit wealth to the amount of $12,-
100000 wished to marry an ambitious
young man, and "she" offered to pay
$25 to each and every young man pro-
posing to her. Nothing was heard
from her" for several months, and
the public forgot the tempting and
most unusual .ad. But in the course
Of the past few days the valiant suit
ors have received lottery letters from

the i'd: It was put into the papers

A Joke on tho socialists.-The So
cialists Of Stockholm made q great
hit 1T the recent city elections BY
hammering at the Conservatives for
being responsible for the high house
rent In the capitol. Ernest Solder.
berg was a Socialist candidate, and
he stood on low-rent platform. Some
time ago the national committee of
the Social Democratic party bought
building in Stockholm for 100000.
Shortly afterwards the tenants re-
ceived notice that their rent would
be raised, in some cases the increase
being as much as IA per cent. This
raise Of the rent was made the most
of by the opponents of the Socialists,
but the greatest joke came when
Ernest Soderberg, the avowed cham
pion of lower house-rent, had to sign
the papers requiring higher rent.
There are 2,239 volunteer rifle
clubs in Sweden having 129,815 active
members and Is, 142 passive members.
No less than 81 new clubs were or
ganized in 1907, and only 10 dropped
out. There are 1926 riflemen whose
records entitled them to aid from the
national treasury, In 1898 the CORE
spending number was 5000. The
number of shots fired in 1907 was
about 100000. More than half of
the shots were fired at range of 325
yards. The government awarded L.
351 gold medals, 1854 silver medals
and 5,463 bronze medals in the
course OF the year to members who
distinguished themselves at target
practice. The aim of the leaders of
this movement is to make the Swedes
deserve the name of "a people in
arms"
Stockholm, April .11.-The Grand
Duchess Maria Paulovna, who will
marry Prince Wilhelm II, second son
of the crown prince of Sweden, on
April 81, has had quarrel with her
aunt and guardian, the Grand Duchess
Elizabeth, widow of the late Grand
Duke Sergius of Russia, on the ques-
ton whether or not her father,
Grand Duke Paul Of Russia, is to at
tend her marriage. Grand Duchess
Elizabeth has a peculiar dislike for
Paul and declares If he comes to the
wedding she will not allow it to take
place from her palace. The bride
to-be, however, stands by her father.
The Grand Duchess Maria has seen
little, of her parent, for after the.
loss of his first wife he gave up his
accustomed pursuits and eventually
married woman who was objection
able at court and was sent into exile
by the car. OF late, however, the
car has relented toward his uncle
and has withdrawn the degree of exile
against him. His wife, who has OBJ
tanned the Bavarian title of Countess
Hohenfelsen, remains barred from
Russia and the couple consequently
make their home in Paris.
The committee appointed to revise
the Swedish version of the New Tesla
ment has been criticized because it
produced a bran new translation, and
this is not apt to be accepted In
its present shape. z .
The riksdag has acted favorably on
