GREATEST GOLD COUNTRY.

The largest gold-producing country is the Trans
vaal where the output increased from $8,000000 In
1889 to $133000,000 in 1907. The increase in the
production of the Transvaal mines made during
the year 1907 almost equaled the entire production
of the gold fields in Alaska. In round figures, the
worlds production of gold from the discovery of
America in 1892 to 1880 was about $1,000, 100000
The entire worlds supply of gold could not have
been in excess Of $6.5ooooo,ooo. The last 30 years
has doubled this supply and If the present produc.
ton Is maintained for another generation it will
has long been the worldwide standard of value.
these statistics certainly suggest that the increase
in the production of this precious metal may indeed
vitality affect prices.

HOTEL AT WHITE BEAR BURNS.
Third Building On the Same Site Ia
Destroyed BY Fire.

White Bear.-1ncendiaries are sup
posed to have set fire to the new ORR
entail hotel at White Bear lake, which
was totally destroyed, entailing loss
estimated at about $4,000. Henry Die
rig, 971 Dayton avenue, st. Paul, pro-
prietor, said that he carried only $14,-
500 insurance on the place.
When the fire was first discovered
by passerby, the flames were already
belching from the windows in different
parts Of the building, which makes the
fire marshal believe it was started in
several places at once.
Jerry Flynn, the caretaker, was
aroused by tho cracking Of flames
barely in time to make his escape, half
dressed. An impromptu fire brigade
was organized, which fought the blaze
until help arrived from St. Paul.

In consequence of the difficulty of

An open air theater is in operation
at Ulvedalene, beautiful park near
Copenhagen. The ground is surround
ed by magnificent beech-trees, and at
the entrance stands a venerable old
oak tree, making it an ideal place for
the performance Of such plays as
Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights
Dream" and similar productions. The
stage, seats and everything else are
painted green so as to be in keeping
with the surroundings. It is claimed
that there is no other stage like it in
the world. Only ten performances are
to be given, and the season will close
at the end of this month.
The United Steamship Company is
singularly unfortunate in Norwegian
waters this season. About three
months ago the steamer United States
struck in the Kristiania ford, and a
great scare was the result, though no
lives were lost. A few days ago the
same vessel struck near Kristiansand.
The accident occurred while the pas
sengers were asleep. Many were
thrown from their berths, and within
a few minutes the decks were crowd
ed with panic-stricken crowd. The
heroism Of the officers and crew, aided
by few Of the passengers, prevented
the panic from spreading into a mad
flight. The vessel was not badly dam.
aged, but her 1000 passengers, were
taken off and sent on another boat.
The United States was relocated two
days after the grounding and taken
to Copenhagen.

Minneapolis. - Two abreast, accom-
led by the University band, 592 grad
yates of the University of Minnesota
wendell their way from the chapel to
the armory to receive their diplomas.
AS the leaders reached the armory en-
trance the line halted, the. two ranks
separated, and formed lane OF black
gowned, square-capped graduates,
through which President Cyrus North
rop, followed by the members of the
faculty, walked into the building.
His head barred, and attired in the
black gown, with the hood lined with
purple silk to denote his honorary de-
gree of doctor of law, President North
rop stepped firmly through the long
line of students who stood hats in
hands and heads bowed. He seemed
to have shed for the day the weight of
years and labor that has commenced
to bow his shoulders. Members of the
faculty did not wear gowns, appear
ing in the conventional garb Of every
day life.
Hardly had the graduates found
their seats when the band started to
play Hail, Minnesota The entire
audience sang the first two verses and
then the graduates, on their feet,
every eye turned towards the form of
President Northrop, standing by the
dais on the platform, sang in slower
time the second verse:
Hail to thee, our Prexy, Sire,
Thou hast made US all thine own,
And our hearts one boon aspire,
That our love may be thy throne.
Throughout our future years
Naught can e'er thy memory mar,
We will guard thy fame
And adore thy name,
Thou shalt be our Northern star.
When the singers had settled in
their seats again, the band played
''The Gay Musician" till the crowd
had quieted, and then President North
rop led in prayer.
After brief service of music, the
degrees were conferred, each graduate
receiving his diploma from the. hand
Of President Northrop. AS each d.
ploma was given, the friends of the
recipient in the audience applauded,
and frequently waved their handker-
chiefs. Though many of the women
in the audience showed their emotion,
not single untoward event marked
the ceremonies.
The candidates for the masters de-
gree, four in science and twenty-seven
in literature and arts, were the last
to receive the coveted sheepskins. The
masters were privileged to discard the
cap and wear in lts stead hood. The
masters from the science department
had hoods trimmed in gold, maroon,
and yellow; those from the depart
ment of literature and arts in gold,
maroon and white.
After the presentation of the mas
ter's degrees, the honor students were
announced, each being loudly ap-
plauded as his name was mentioned.
The band then led the audience in the
national hymn America" after which
benediction was pronounced and the
ceremonies were over.
