mile OF territory. and said:
"Any way you can figure II We are

One day while In Norway an OppOr-

BjOrnstjerne BjOrnson, the Norwegian
poet, means as much as the Norwegian

was returning from its maneuvers to
the post In Christiania," he says. "In

mand sent his adjutant in advance to
get BjOrnson's permission to bring him
an ovation. With his family and
guests assembled about him on the
veranda, the monumental figure stood
with barred head to receive the military
greeting.
"As each regiment passed In review
below, presenting arms to their chief

Of personal salutation from each Of

CANDLE TO BURN IN
PETROSINO'S HONOR4
YEARS AND 7 MONTHS
Light Was Placed in Church, but Re-
moved Because of Threats of
Dynamiting Edifice If
1t Remained

NEW YORK, April 19.-The largest
candle ever manufactured is destined
to burn four years and seven months in
memory of Joseph Petrosino, the New
York detective who was assassinated
while on secret mission in Italy.
1t was finished the day Petrosino's
body reached America and was sent to
the pro-cathedral in Mott street, where
it was designed the great candle
should burn continuously in memory OF
the slain officer.
But threats to dynamite the church if
the candle was kept there were re-
ceived, and 1t was hurriedly returned 10
the firm which made it.
1t now awaits the disposal of the
widow, who is making arrangements to
have it sent to her husbands birth
place In Italy and there enshrined.
The candle Is nine feet high and three
feet six inches in circumference. It
weighs IFS pounds and is almost conf
pletely covered with 14-carat gold leaf
It's composition is Austrian beeswaX,
to which slow burning substance has
been added. 1t cost $3.50, and is the
present of the manufacturers in whose
home Petrosino lived when a boy.
They computed it would burn within
ten hours of four years and seven
months.

MINISTER DECLARES
His SBELIEF IN BIBLICAL
STORY OF ADAMS RIB
CLAIMS NO OTHER ExPCANA-
TON is SATISFACTORY
Chicaaoan Says All Infideis Laugh al
/ and RidicuIe Version of Woman's
Creation as Given in
Genesis

CHICAGO, April 19.-In defiance of
the higher criticism, Rev. Frederick
F. Hopkins, Congregational, comes out
in defense of the biblical accounts of
woman's creation.
,'Infidels all laugh at Adams rib,
he says. "They tell us the Bible begins
with a joke, that it is ridiculous to
suppose that woman was made as
Genesis describes. We do not care to
argue that point, further than to re-
mark that no one except the author
of the first book in the Bible has ever
given as satisfactory an explanation Of
the beginning of things from spirit
ual standpoint.
Before we dismiss a book which
contains what some think is such a
ridiculous story, let us stop long
enough to ask if after all the mere in
vention of the story does not make
the book worth while?
"Who today, after he has had a
jolly good laugh, will rise and explain
how 1t ever occurred to anybody to
provide for the continuation of human
life on this planet by establishing the
family relation? Could anything be
more perfect than just to say, I will
make a help meet for him and the
thing was done?
"Is 1t a huge joke that lies at the
bottom of the marriage relation and
the home? Are the works of the most
beautiful ceremonies but an echo of an
ancient and childish fable?"

H ONSTANTINOPLE, April 19.-The
most important feature of the sit
~ uation in the Turkish capital to-
day was the report that Sultan Abdul
Hamid had abdicated
1t caused the greatest excitement i'll
the lobbies of parliament.
A rumor of the fight of the sultan
on O. warship followed closely on that
of his abdication, but neither could be
confirmed.
Large crowds gathered at the Brit
ish embassy, where, other reports had
it, the sultan had taken refuge, and
there were scores of inquiries at the
Russian embassy concerning the truth
of the rumor that the sultan was under
the protection of Russia, on one of its
guardships.
At both of these embassies all knowl-
edge of the sultan's movements was
denied, and the Turkish foreign office
gave strong denial to the rumors.
The abdication of Abdul Hamid,
however, seems to be. not improbable,
and it appears that within a day or
two the constitutionalists may accept
as his successor Prince Yuisof IL
zedin, the eldest son of the late sultan,

N AN FRANCISCO, April 19.-With
every new issue bitterly contested,
~ the attorneys engaged in the trial
OF Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads, devoted the entire
session today to a minute scrutiny of
the testimony of Ferdinand p. Nicho-
las, the former supervisor, who is al
legged to have been the recipient of
bribe offered by the United Railroads.
Nicholas spent half the day testify
ing on redirect examination by the
prosecution and the remainder of the
session was devoted to argument on
the admission of his testimony.
Assistant DislrIcI Attorney Francis
]. Heney, reviving a portion of the
cross-examination by Earl Rogers. de-
clared the defense had attempted to
demonstrate to the jury that Nicholas
had changed his testimony given in
former trials because of fear he would
be indicted and convicted, as was
Michael w. Coffey, another member of
the board.
To support his adverse contention
Mr.. Heney called as a witness a
stenographer who recorded the first
confession of Nicholas. For two hours
the attorneys argued over the adInis-
sion of this record, and at. the end
of this period Judge Lawlor made an
order admitting the testimony for pur-
poses of comparison only.
Heney Becomes Angry
Mr.. Heney made a somewhat heated
argument in support of his contention.
He said:
"Mr. Rogers not only insinuates that
the witness Nicholas has committed
perjury, but he adds ito his half-con-
cealed representations an idea that
