DENMARK.

The famous Rembrandt painting,
Knight of the Cross which has been
missing so years from the Capital
Royal collection, has just been res
cued from a lumber room in the royal
castle of Fredensborg. The picture
was believed to have been lost in a
fire which destroyed Fredicksborg
castle in 1867. 1t was one of the
castles greatest treasures and hung
in the banquet hall. When found the
picture was in a greatly neglected
condition and had been reduced in
size to fit an Inferior frame. The pic
ture is one Of R~embrandt's latest
works and represents a knight dressed
in a red, fur-trimmed cloak with a
cross on the right shoulder and a cap
with a white feather on the head.

NORWAY.

Andrew Carnegie has donated $780,
900 towards the establishment of a
Norwegian hero fund.
The supreme court has handed
down a decision making the first of
May a legal holiday for the working
men. About $50 men had taken part
in the first of May demonstration
without asking their employers for
leave to do so, and they were after
wards discharged. The supreme court
decided that they are entitled to two
weeks pay on account of being dis
charged without good cause.
Two. men belonging to a Spitzber-
gen winter expedition have arrived at
Kristiania after great suffering. Three
members of the expedition died of
starvation in February last and the
two who have arrived in Kristiania
had long ago given themselves UP for

ammunition and were finally com.
PEELED to tear the sealskin off their
shoes and boil it. They were on, the

The "Fram," which was used by
Fridtjof hansen and Otto Sverdrup
on their North Pole expedition, left
Buenos Aires June 8, 1911, for an
oceanographic cruise in the southern
Atlantic ocean. The temperature and
samples of water at a depth of sew
eral thousand feet were taken in diff
ferent parts Of the ocean, and the YES
sci passed st. Helena and South Trini-
dad. To take a sounding at a depth
q several thousand feet requires
much time, and the record of the
cruise was go stations" 891 samples
of water, and 200 bottles of plankton
(sea animals). The expedition re.
turned to Buenos Aires Sept. l.. The
weather was fine during the whole
trip. The northwest trade winds were
used going east, and on the return
trip to the southeast tradewinds blew
so steadily that the engine of the
vessel was not started in four weeks.
For every sounding the vessel had
to be stopped and the sails rolled up,
and this changing wore out the sails
SO that they barely hung together at
the end of the cruise. The table was
supplied with fresh meat from 20 live
sheep and some poultry, with which
the ship was stocked before starting.
A lost battle. A student at the
Fosnas agricultural school at Sern
was expelled on account of improper
conduct. When this became known
the other students zen a letter to
the principal stating that they would
strike unless their expelled comrade
was taken back again. They stuck to
their word, and all of them left one
Monday morning. At their departure
they were told by the principal that
those who did not return by the next
Friday would be permanently dis.
missed from the school. BY Friday
they were all back. and they were a
crestfallen aggregation.

BROKER l. CAN'T REMEMBER
NEGRO EDUCATOR HAS A VERY
POOR MEMORY.
Can't Recall Who He Was Seeking
When Caught In New York
Apartment House.

r I @NHs.N
New York, Nov. z. = Booker T.
Washington, negro educator and
founder of Tuskegee Institute, was
possessed of an unfortunate memory
when he took the stand to testify
against Henry A. Ulrich, the white
man who beat Washington when he
found him in the vestibule of an apart.
ment house, of which he was janitor,
on March 10. DR.. Washington could
not even remember the name of the
person he was seeking when he en-.
tered the building.
Ulrich was placed on trial before
Justices Moss, Zeller and Ryan, in
special session. He was charged with
assaulting the negro educator. He was
defended by James T. Moore, one of
the first contributors to Tuskegee
when Washington founded the school.
Mrs. Mary Alvarez, a resident in the
apartment house where the assault
took place testified that she told the
policeman who arrested Washington
that she was glad he had arrested
that burglar" She said he had been
hanging around" the house all even
ing. Mrs. Alvarez admitted she saw
Ulrich strike Washington with a stick
after he had knocked the negro down.
Washington, she said, had offered to
explain to Ulrich who he was, but Ull
rich paid no attention to him.
DR.. Washington was next called. He
said that the assault occurred at 9:15
p. m. Il was in the vestibule of the
building, looking at the names on the
doorplates, when this man came in,
seized me by the throat, hurled me to
the ground and beat me with a cane.
l said to him: Don't beat me that
way. If l have violated the law, call
a policeman" He kept on beating me
and l ran. When l reached Central
park west, I was so weak l fell, and
then two men beat me. I do not know
who the second man was. He fled
when the policeman arrived.

CANADA'S CENSUS
THIRTY.TWo PER CENT IN
CREASE IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

mat CANADA III come rapidly TO
the front in the past ten years is am
ply shown in the results Of the census
recently made public. The population
Of the Dominion is now placed at
7,081,869, which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring it up to
~ millions as compared with. $751;.
315 in 1901. Though these figures are
large they do not present a total as
large as was expected but they do
show a greater increase of percentage
in population for the decade than any
similar increase in the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 24%; the per-
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade is 1920. Thus it will be seen
that the provinces west Of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping of grain and the Valleys Of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh
boring provinces east Of the moun-
tains, have attracted numbers, which
has exceeded the most optimistic Of
the expectations Of ten years ago..
Upon the prairies OF. the ten years
ago there was but a spare scattering
of people; but today, no matter in
which way you go, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class of people in good sized set
Elements with plenty Of room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation of Alberta is set down at &c.,
919, as compared with 1902 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 91,270 in 1901; Manitoba's 1884,
691 compares well with its 255,211 in
1901; and SO does that of British Co.
lumbia-362,7 1853 as against 178,657 in
1901; but in a territory as large as
this a population of 1,643,0O0 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through it has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; it's cities, Winnipeg
with 135, 900; Vancouver with upwards
of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon; Leth-
bridge; Medicine Hat, Moosejaw,
splendid cities-none better any
where; well maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason Of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development Of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done in the past ten years is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show a far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is a standing
one. At the Forthcoming land exposi-
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
Of the best exhibits Of farm products
that has ever been made and it will
be we'll worth while inspecting it and
getting information from those who
may be in charge.

T~oxocoIogists Report Finding Poison
' in PoIiceman's Organs-Bodies of
Other Victims to Be Ex-
humed.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Louise Yer
milya was formally charged with the
murder of Policeman Arthur Bison
cite by poisoning him with arsenic,
after the report of PSYCHOLOGISTS who
had examined the viscera of the dead
roomer at the widows home had been
made known. Coroner Hoffman an
nounced that he will have exhumed
the bodies of at least two of the other
eight persons who have died in her
home during the last eight years.
Dozens of detectives continue to
seek further light on the eight deaths
which preceded the demise of Bison
cite while the ~decedents were living
at the widows home. Just what
bodies would" be exhumed, Coroner
Hoffman declined to say. 1t was init
mated, however, n of them would
be that of Conductor Richard L. Smith,
who was taken suddenly ill and died
under circumstances that since have
aroused official curiosity. It developed
he had taken out life insurance a short
time before, in which she was to be
the beneficiary.
Mrs. Vermilya collapsed when in
formed the experts had found poison
in the viscera of Bissonette, but de-
clined to make any statement. The in
creased guard, however, was instruct
ed not to allow her to pass a moment
not under a watchful eye, lest she
attempt to injure herself.
Motive Is Suggested.
Further questioning of several inter.
ested parties by Coroner Hoffman dis
closed new facts in connection with
the death list. A motive for the pois-
oning was suggested by Archie Bis
sonette, a brother of the policeman.
In the policeman's effects were
found letters from his fiancee, Miss
Lydia Rivard, of Marshall, Mimi, but
all were dated prior to their engage
ment. Absence of any received after
then, coupled with the fact that Mrs.
Vermilya had access to Bissonette's
effects and her statement that she
and the policeman were to be married,
was suggested as indicating jealousy
as a motive for her poisoning him, if
the complaint under which the war
rant for her was issued. was true.
A message was sent by the coroner
to relatives of Conductor Smith, ask
ing permission to exhume his body.
Smith died while rooming at the home
of Mrs. Vermilya. and after, he boast
ed, living with her as her husband.
The other body he desired to have ex-
amined. said the coroner, was that of
Frank Brinkamp.
Brinkamp had a pact with his wife
that if either should die suddenly, the
other would have a post mortem ex.
animation made OF the body. When
they were divorced the agreement was
forgotten and no examination was
made. Smith is buried at North Hen.
