The conditional opening of the pull
pits of the churches of Norway to
women at this time was largely due to
a request made last summer by Miss
Anna Shaw, an American lady. The
cabinet was almost evenly divided on
the subject. The rights of women to
speak in the churches are restricted
in many ways.
Drangedal is badly torn up on &C
count of the language controversy. In
many school districts the voters are

easy to see how the excitement car

Z fight. To their surprise the outlaw
offered no resistance, but surrendered
Ut their command. His trial was
speedy and less than q week after his
capture he began serving term In
San Quentin prison.
When Miner was released he left
California as rapidly as possible. The
wilder country Of Colorado offered
greater attractions. In this new field
Of operation his methods were the
same as In the old.
Miner and two others on November
Z, 1881, reappeared in California after
an absence of twelve years, held up
the stage that ran from Sonora, Tuo-
lumne county, to Milton and secured
$4,000 in cash and gold dust.
Two of the gang were quickly
caught. Miner managed to elude the
officers for several weeks, but was
finally run to earth. The trial was
brief and Justice severe. The three
robbers were sent to San Quentin pris-
OH for Is years.
It was 1901, 20 years later, before
"Old Bill" Miner could again breathe
the air a free man. BY good behavior
he cut his sentence five years and the
authorities believed that when he
walked out Of San Quentin his days
as an outlaw were ended. But they

SWEDEN.

The Swedish navy has just received
its first aeroplane.
At the last cabinet meeting of the
old year there were 1,O62 different
matters to be disposed of. More than
half Of the number pertained to the
church.
Almost $4,000 postal money orders
were received from America during
the month Of December, and the
amount was 100000. The number Of
orders was only $4,000 for the same
month in 1910, but the amount was a
little larger.
The new liberal cabinet which came
into power as the result Of the general
elections last September has cancelled
the order for the guns Of a type r
hattleship which was contracted for
by the conservative government after
a hard struggle in the riksdag Prep
arations for building the vessel also
have l cen ordered stopped. The
orders have provoked much discussion
among the people and in the press.
The conservative organs express the
fear that the liberal government will
neglect the navy, while the liberal
papers declare that the cabinet is
merely dissatisfied with the type OF
battleship ordered by its predecessor
and that during the coming session OF
the riksdag proposals will be made
for the construction Of several battle
ships. The r type provides for two
8turrets with four guns Of 28 en-. while
the secondary battery consists Of
Seight15 en-. guns. It is predicted that
the liberals will propose a ship with
two 3O5 en-. guns with a lighter sec
ondary battery. ~ IA
