One of the biggest bank robberies
on record occurred at the Stockholms-
bank In Stockholm July 10. The
thieves were three in number and
made away with $1,000 crowns. The
robbery took place at about 1880
a. m, when people were coming and
going on the commodious floor OF the
bank building. One of the assistants
to the cashier, woman, was at the
cashiers window for a few moments
and while stepping outside OF the
cashiers cage to bring letter OF
credit to another window the package
of bills, amounting to $1,000 crowns
in all, was gone. All the woman knew
was that she saw three men standing
not far away from her window, but
she had paid no particular attention
to them. The following morning a
man about fifty years old, who gave
his name as James William Taylor,
was arrested at Helsingborg, where
he was about to board boat for Co
penhagen He was followed by detec-
tives from Stockholm, who traced
him to a store which he entered and
asked for something that was not for
sale there. While he was asking the
clerk in the store to look around for
what he wanted, but which they did
not have in stock, he attempted to
hide something under his coat, which
looked like large roll of paper. The
detectives placed him under arrest
when he left the store and took him
to the police station, where 1900
crowns were found on his person. He
confessed at once that he, together
with two other companions, had stolen
the money. On July II the Stockholm
detectives arrested a second thief, who
was also found in Helsingborg, giving
his name as Alfred Dyprey, and claim
ing that his home was in Montreal,
Canada. The third party has not yet
been found.
1t may be interesting for a number
of Swedish-American readers to know
that a marriage certificate from this
country has up to this time not been
legal in Sweden. In other words, il
a Swedish couple has been married in
this country by pastor of the Angus
tana church or some other Swedish
American church organization and
moved to Sweden to live their mar
riage has not been considered legal.
The matter came to a point last year
when the attention of the Swedish
of justice was called to IL
and now Count Ehrensvard, the Swed-
lsh minister at Washington, d. c., has
submitted letter to the Swedish for
eign department in which he suggests
that marriages performed by pastors
Of the Augustana church, the Evan
geliska Missionsforbundet," the
Swedish Methodist Episcopal church,
as well as those belonging to the
Protestant Episcopal church in this
country, may be regarded legal in
Sweden.
The Swedenborgians of Stockholm
are about to erect a church OF their
own and the same will likely be erect
cd in the beautiful Tegner park. Pc
enough the so called Sweden
borg church has but few followers in
Sweden, which was the home of
Emanuel Swedenborg, the founder Of
that church. But in England and the
United States there are many Sweden
borgian churches and congregations.
There Is q Swedenborg congregation
In Gothenburg, but with the one in
1t is the only two In the en-
tire country.
The Swedish-American Republican
league of Illinois is taking the initia-
tive in widespread movement among
Illinois Swedes to erect monument
IN honor of Captain John Ericksso.i,
inventor OF the Monitor, the little
yankee cheese box" which defeated
the Merrimac In Hampton Roads dur
Ing the Civil war. A number of ar
have submitted models for
the monument, which will be erected
In conspicuous place in Lincoln
park, Chicago. The monument will
cost at least $4,000.
