COPENHAGEN Sept. lO--(Special to The
Bee. )-Norwegia churchmen are jubilant
that their invitation to the international
Council OF Christian Endeavor to hold the
next European conference in 1912 at Christi
ania has been accepted. Already plans are
being outlined for the reception and enter
OF the thousands OF delegates who
are expected TO attend and it is safe to
say that the conference at the Norwegian
capital will be a most notable one. King
Haaken will take part in the conference
himself.
Crops In sweden.
Swedish crops are better than last year
and well above the average. Reports to
the Agricultural society that the average
for the twenty six countries Is unusually
high. winter wheat, barley, oats and sugar
beets being particularly good
Queen and Salvation Army.
The aged dowager queen OF Sweden is
patron OF the Salvation Army which. owing
to her support. has had considerable success
in Sweden. At one time short OF actually
wearing the uniform she was an out-and-
out member Of the Salvation Army and
contributed largely to it's funds. 1t is re-
lated that one day she heard of the Armys
conversion OF a blind woman and immedi-
ately ordered her to be brought to court.
Queen Sophia is idolized in Sweden for her
simplicity and sincere piety.
Real Sailor King.
sailor king in every sense of the term
is King Haaken of Norway, who recently
celebrated his thirty-eighth birthday, for
he served a severe marine apprenticeship in
his youth. In the Danish navy cadets dur
ing the first period of their service have
the same work, rations and quarters as
ordinary seamen. So the king during his
first nine months on the Danish training
ship, Drowning Louise. had to take his turn
in waiting on his messmates and in washing
up the dishes after meals. This rough train
ing has proved valuable asset in his
government OF a democratic race and King
Haaken has been popular with his people
from the first days of his reign.
Women sailors.
Women sailors are employed in Dem
mark. Norway and Finland. and are often
found to- be excellent mariners. In Dem
mark several women are employed as
state officials at sea, and particularly IN
the pilot service. They go out to meet the
incoming shipsi they climb nimbly out of
their boats; they show their official d.
ploma, and they steer the newcomer safely
in the harbor. 1t is the same in Finland.
Insane wOman's End.
It is feared that Mime. ZaslavslSa, the
Russian delegate to the congress for pub
lie and private charity. who attempted TO
assault the chairman, Commenda tore
Poano of Rome. and one OF the French
delegates, is hopelessly insane. The sub
jest under discussion was the, participation
of women in public charity, and Mrs.
Booth Hollberg Mad just concluded very
successful address on the work OF the SAL
walton Army for the benefit of women DR..
Lode OF Paris. then began to speak. but
Madame Zaszlvska, who had been long
very anxious to say few words began
to grow impatient to be heard. and would
not wait for her turn, Exclaming that the
chairman was preventing her from speak
ing Madame Zaszlavska produced a long
dagger and. rushing forward tried to kill
him and DR.. Lede, who was standing be-
side him. DIR. Lede was slightly injured in
the hand. 1t was apparently the mad
woman's intention 10 kill herself, but, after
short struggle, she was overpowered and
sent to a hospital, where she will be kept
until arrangements have been made for her
removal to Russia. This poor lady form
erly tried to kill NJ. Casimir-Portier
president Of the French republic, and Herr
Munsterberg Burgomaster of Berlin Five
years ago, moreover. when the congress
was being held In Milan. Madame Zas-
zlavska created a scandalous scene
