Stockholm is trying to secure the
olympic games in 1912 and hopes to
land the prize. Berlin is her most
active rival.
The government has purchased An.
ders Zorn's famous painting, "Vid
Siljan" for the National museum at
Stockholm. The price paid was $4,000.
Preparations for the great inter-
national peace congress, to be held at
Stockholm this summer, are progress.
ing satisfactorily, and indications
point to large attendance. DR.. Carl
bert of Bethany college, Lindsborg,
Kan, is to be one of the delegates
from the United States, having been
chosen by the recent national peace
congress held at Chicago.
A writer who recently returned
from a trip through Palestine relates
some items of interest concerning the
colony of Swedes in Jerusalem, known
rs the Larssonites. They emigrated
to Jerusalem some fifty or sixty years
ago under the influence of a rival and
and have kept up a comparatively
separate existence in the Holy City
since that time. They reside in what
is called the American section. They
are a God-fearing people and live an
unassuming and exemplary life among
the Catholics and Mohammedans of
the city. They are well known for
their charity among the poor and the
improvident Arabs. The noted Swe-
dish writer, Selma Lagerlof, some
years ago wrote book entitled "Jeru-
salem," in wh.eS. she describes the
emigration of this sect to the Holy
City.
The newspapers of Norway and
Sweden have enjoyed a little tilt
about them accepting of ofYicial decora-
thomson the part OF citizens OF one
country from the other. A ChrIstiania
daily sizes ur the situation as follows:
1T -E. now h-.n learned that the
rulnor that the Swedi,h government
does not desire Swedish officials to
receive and carry any decorations of
any OF the Norwegian orders is we'll
founded. From Norwegian point OF
view it is only another official evi.
dence on the part of S~>d.n that her
stand on this quest on is made at just
exactly the same tine the Swedish
press began to look for sympathy
from Norway In regard to the building
OF the Swedish Continental route to
Germany. In Norway, however,
Sweden's attitude toward Norwegian
orders has not caused nearly the
furore that was anticipated. It IL
only pertinent to note that General
Thaulow, Norwegian officer, who
stands very high in foreign military
circles, has returned all his decora-
tons from Swedish orders on the
ground that II a Swedish citizen can
not carry the st. Olaf order, for in.
stance, Norwegian citizen cannot,
as matter Of course, carry a Swed-
ish order. The Norwegian press in
general seems to approve of the gen.
erals course in this respect as being
absolutely consistent"

where it will be on exhibition during
the exposition.
What is the matter with J. C. Chris
tensen?
That ID q question widely discussed
by the newspapers of Denmark at the
present time. Christensen is one of
the leading men of the country, head
OF the party Of the left and formerly
prime minister. He was forced out of
Office last year. partly on account of
the Alberti scandal and partly on ac-
count Of mistaken policy on the part
OF his cabinet. Since that time he has
been the leader OF the opposition to
the government at the head of which
stands Nergaard. The thing that has
brought Christensen into unfavorable
notice at this time is his attitude
toward the problem of fortifying Co
penhagen. The readers OF this column
will recall the fact that the commits
sion for the national defense reported
in favor of fortifying the capital, both
on the landward side and On the sea
front. The Nergaard ministry took
up the proposition and is trying to
force it through the rigsdag. Chris
Jensen has come out squarely against
the proposition, contrary to his former
views and contrary to large element
of his party. Consequently his flop
has created surprise and indignation
within his party, which will be torn
asunder on account of lis attitude.
He is being roundly denounced by his
former friends and is defended by
others who have been his enemies.
The project OF direct Scandina-
vian-American steamship line has not
been given up, but those interested
are still investigating the project.
Owing to the dull times last year no
attempt will be made at present to
start the securing OF the necessary
subscriptions to finance the deal That
will come after the details Of the plan
have been worked out.
Ostermalm has been having an cpl
demic of scarlet fever the past weeks.
Over forty persons have been i'll up
to the present writing.

The banquet was the most ambi-
tious event OF its kind the city has
ever undertaken.
Atlanta's Welcome.
Atlanta's welcome to Taft began in
the railroad yards where all the loco
motives tied open their whistle and
ceased only when he had retired for
the night Thousands were at the
station, and thousands followed him
through the streets as he was drawn
by four horses to the capital. Govern,
or Smith and a committee of seventy
gave him formal reception, after
the crowd and Taft once more voiced
his reciprocity of cordiality and COOL
feeling at his reception. He was es-
corted by a squad of mounted police
to the Chamber of Commerce. and the
Ohio AMI Yale Alumni. On his trip
here he made speeches at Thompson,
Charlottesville. Greensboro, Madison,
Social Circle and Decatur.
In his banquet speech tonight TAFT

opinion now prevailing in the south.

causes which had worked and were
this change the Spanish
war; the attitude OF Mckinley. his
lovable character and the principles
he stood for In his campaigns; the
succession of Roosevelt with his Geor
gia mother, and finally the wonderful
business development Of the south.
He pointed out the advantage to the
party and the advantage that would
accrue TO the south in the existence OF
a sroug minority party in the southern
states-an intelligent minority yhich
may become successful majority In
the punishment of abuses that are
likely 20 grow out of long continued
and undisputed control of one party. |
