The Domestic Economy Society Of
Sweden has taken steps to induce the
government to make arrangements
for giving instruction in farming at
the public schools in the rural dis
tricts of Sweden.
. A strike at the Stark mines in Nor
berg resulted in complete defeat for
the strikers. The strikers had to sign
personal contracts, which are less ad-
'vantageous to them than the old
agreement. The proprietor9 of the
mines were making preparations for
closing the mines until next spring,
but now the work will be continued
through tho winter.
Count Albert Ehrensvaerd has been
appointed Swedish minister to Wash
ington to-. succeed Lagercrantz, re-
signed. Count Ehrcnsvaerd is one OF
the most highly gifted, learned and
sympathetic men of his day and coun-
try. He belongs to a family which
for six generations has been promi-
nent in the affairs of their country an
warriors, statesmen and savants. Tbs
first Ehrensvaerd was one of the war
riors Of Charles XII, ending his life as
commander Of the fortress of Karlsten.
His illustrious son, Count Augustin
Ehrensvaerd, rose to become the COM
mander Of the army fleet of trans
ports, his own invention. But his
undying fame is chiefly connected
with the name of Sveaborg, the
mighty fortress outside the capital of
Finland, which "Gibraltar of the
North" was his own creation. Karl
August Ehrensvaerd, son of Count
Augustin, was one of the most uni
versally gifted and brilliant men of
his age. He succeeded his father to
command the army fleet, but discour-
aged because the king interfered with
the once given plans for action, he
soon resigned his post after more
than one gallant encounter with the
Russians, and devoted himself to
what was to become the chief en-
deavor of his life, the working out
and drawing up new philosophy,
which he called "the philosophy of
fine arts" A grandson of Karl AL
gust Ehrensvaerd, and the father OF
the new Swedish minister to Wash.
ington, was Count Albert Ehrens-
vaerd, ST., first in the diplomatic
service, later governor of Gothenburg
and Bohus, and for long time min.
lister Of foreign affairs of Sweden and
Norway. Count Albert Ehrensvaerd,
Jr., in every respect is a worthy de-
scendant of illustrious sires. He has
from them inherited the literary gifts
| of which he is possessed and which
have made of him an able writer on
esthetic and historical subjects and
fine poet. After having served as
under-secretary Of the department of
foreign affairs, Count Ehrensvaerd
was appointed minister to the Hague
and Brussels, at which post he is still
,. found, having contrived to make him
| self popular. Count Ehrensvaerd ia

motion of interest in Swedish Ian.
guage and literature with mixed
Dutch and Swedish membership.
Count Ehrensvaerd has every chance
to become as popular in Washington
as in the Dutch and Belgian capitals,
holding the secret of his ancestors of
how to serve his sovereign and coun.
try in high positions, and being like
them, born aristocrat, yet being q

It WAS GOOD TO
SEE ELLEN TERRY

Miss Ellen Terry's lecture on
Shakespeare heroines last night
was enjoyed by a large audience.
She described this particular lee
ture as that dealing with the pa
thetic heroines. and treated the
characters of Desdamona, Catherin,
Ophelia, Cordelia, Juliet, Cleopatra
and Lady Macbeth, playing brief H.
Illustrative passages from the parts
of several. Appearing upon vel
vet draped stage, in beautiful
silvery robe and exhibiting much
of the charm and grace of her ia
miliar stage presence, she afford
ed a pleasant relief from the usual
lecture ordeal.
The text of the lecture was clear
sand Illuminating, the comments
valuable, and the entire discourse
enriched by. the great experiences
and solemn associations of life
time of study and execution in
high dramatic art. 1t would be diff
ficult for anyone long associated
with Henry Irving not to bring into
ones "reminiscences both color and
feeling. And she is equal to the
occasion, as her splendid magma
ton and fine artistic ideals would
suggest.
Her declaration of fondness for
the character of Cordelia, her def
milton Of Cleopatra and her opinion
concerning Catherine of Aragon
were of unusual interest. The act
ing of the snatches from Juliet and
Desdamona and Ophelia were
flashes of pure genius. Perhaps the
greatest single thought in the lee
ture was her suggestion that
Shakespeare did not create charac-
tiers in solid material, all white or
all black, but that in the purity
even. of Juliet and Ophelia there
is shadow, and in the darkness of
even Cleopatra's passion the light
shines through. Again, too, that
Shakespeare was above all a
flramatist.

Councilman Peter Nelson of the
Fifth ward, father of the infamous
sewer deal, against which a referen-
dunn has been started, tried last
night to placate the bitter feeling
against the city government by an
appeal to the voters of the upper
end of the Fourth ward, gathered
at the meeting of the North Hill
improvement club. Mr.. Nelson was
made the target of some very point
ed and direct questions, some of
which he answered directly and
others parted, during the course of
which explanation Mr.. Nelson re-
marked that if the people thought
there was any graft in the under
taking, let them lay it before the
grand jury.
The club unanimously voted to
push the referendum against the
sewer grab; also petition agreeing
to pay no assessments on the work
unless compelled to by court. Five
thousand copies of a circular con-
tanning an appeal to the people of
the north hill were ordered dis
tributed.ss
