DEN MARK.

With very few rich people and prac-
tically no pauperism, the people Of
Denmark seem to be conterded and
prosperous. Denmark last year ex-
ported to Great Britain alone butter
to the value of the vast sum of $4S,-
777,775, and bacon to the amount of
$26 ,690.445, while eggs amounted to
$7,750O00, which accounts for these
dainty foods being plentiful in Lon
don, as well as popular. While Den
mark is noted for its small holdings
and for its many families who own
their own homes. it is also grain and
live stock country, the grain yield of
last year being over 100,000,000 BUSH
els and the live stock numbering:
horses, over 100000; cattle. 100000;
sheep, s1,O00,OO0, and pigs, s1,5O0,O00.
The mercantile marine numbers over
4,17S vessels and the tonnage exceeds
$4,000. There are more than 1879
miles of railway-mostly state rail-
ways-and $3.50 miles of telegraph
lines.
A recent telegram from Copenhagen
says: "Russia's establishment of Sc
cret police bureaus here and at Stock
holm to watch Finnish politicians on
their journeys abroad, is threatening
trouble between the Danish and Swed-
ish governments on one side and the
ST. Petersburg foreign Office on the
other. Neither the Danish nor the
Swedish governments authorization
was asked and the secret agents are
being maintained without a word of
explanation. The agents interference
with Finnish travellers In Denmark and
Sweden has been so open as to cause
embarrassment. Several have COM
planned of the ransacking of their pa
pers and overhauling their luggage on
trains and boats in Danish and Swed-
ish territory.

Anna LARSEN, the famous Copenha-
gen actress, who left the Danish stage
about three years ago on account Of re-
lligious scruples, will appear again
next season at one of the Copenhagen
theaters. She is an accomplished ac-
tress, and the theater-going public of
the capital will be glad to know that
she has consented to return to the
stage.
Recent storms and floods caused
damage in the western part of Upland
amounting to 100000 crowns. Many
families were rendered homeless, and
subscriptions for their sustenance in
the immediate future have been taken
at all the large cities of Denmark.

Washington street crossing at 11:30
o'clock last night and sustained in
1uries which caused his death In the
city hospital about four hours later.
Both his legs were crushed
According to officials of the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company, who
investigated the accident, Nelson

The railroad men claim the engine

time Nelson was struck, the engine
was going very slowly, 1t is claimed,
as 1t was about to stop. The street
gates were down, the railroad off,
cials claim, and they assert that Mel

of them, started to cross the tracks
without being on his guard and
walked directly into the path of the
engine. He was knocked over and
both his legs were run over and
crushed.
Soon after the man had been in
tured telephone message was sent

otto HARTWIG
GETS RENEWAL
OF LICENSE

Application for renewal of the sa-
loon license of Otto B. Hartwig, in
Hobart street, was granted, together
with eight other renewals and one
transfer at the monthly meeting of
the Board of Excise Commissioners
last night. Two new applications
were laid over,
Hartwig's renewal was granted by
vote of four yeas and one nay.
There was considerable discussion
over the application at the commit
tee session held prior to the regular
meeting One commissioner opposed
the granting of the license because
of Hartwig's indictment for Sunday
selling of liquor AS told at the
time, Hartwig with six other local
saloon keepers, was indicted for SELL
ing liquor on Sunday. The majority
have been tried, found guilty and
fined. There is reason to believe
that the case Of Hartwig will pursue
a similar course.
The bottling license of George
Miller, at 440 Inslee street, was
transferred to Michael Kerly, by a
unanimous vote.
Pive applications for renewals of
saloon licenses and one for renew
al of bottling license were balloted
upon collectively and granted unan-
imously.
The application of Alexander Odo-
lecki for new saloon license at 23O
Hall avenue, was laid over by mo-
tion of Commissioner Tymrakiewicz,
seconded by Commissioner Fritzin-
ger, That of Peter Bilgrav for
bottling license at 52S Amboy ave-
nue., was Flaid over under the rules.
