Paralytic Stroke.


Paralytic Stroke.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the famous
Norwegian novelist, playwright, pces

Unexpectedly.
BJornstjerne Bjornson was born near
the town of Moldo, Norway, December
s, 1882. Poet, novelist, dramatist. re-
former and apostle of peace, two hered-
itary traits dominated in his charac-
ter-the placid nature, which he drew
from his father, a country parson,
and the fighting spirit, which came TO
him from his more remote ancestors,
the old Morse sea-rovers. He was
known as the Prophet-Poet of Norway
Toward him the people looked Tor
guidance, and with his cudgels he
fought in the cause of truth and JUS
tice.
At the age of 90 he entered the Uni
versity of Christiania, and while there
began writing in a serious vein. After
two years as writer and editor he be-
came the director of the Bergen Thea
ter. This was in 1857 The next few
years were devoted to travel and resi-
dence in Denmark, Germany and Italy.
and then Bjornson went back to Nor
way for ten years. He began the series
of plays which conquered the Norwe-
gian stage and. also invaded the DAN
ish, Swedish and German theaters. AS
Bjornson grew older he went into poll
tics as a reformer.

CHICAGO.

r. c. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Chicago trade says:
'Seasonable weather stimulates &C
tivity, but distributive branches re-
cover slowly from the recent setback,
and the curtailment in business gen.
orally is reflected by reduced pay
ments through the banks and increased
trading defaults. Allowing for exag-
gerated estimates il is clear that the
late bad weather has been hurtful to
various interests, but most indications
encourage large hopes of good pros
poets in agriculture, although grain
growers are confronted with declining
prices.
The industrial position as a whole
exhibits sustained strength in both
production and new demands despite
efforts of pig iron operators TO lessen
outputs. Transportation returns tes-
tify to enormous movements of heavy
freight, and the aggregate remains
good in general merchandise and raw
material for factory use.
Packing operations are still limited
by poor supply of raw material, and
advance estimates of provision stocks
in store indicate little change over
month ago.
In general merchandise dealings
fair business is apparent in dry goods,
clothing, millinery, silks, footwear
and food products, Notwithstanding
smaller attendance of outside buyers.
Bank clearings, 1867 sol ,374, exceed
those of the corresponding week in
1909 by 6.S per cent and compare with
