SING SINGS new WARDEN

When Governor Glynn appointed
Thomas Mott Osborne warden of Sing
Sing prison he said he did so that
those who claim the present method
of trying to reform men who have
gone bad is wrong might have a
chance to prove that their theory Is
the correct one. Mr.. Osborne is I'M
hampered by any power except the
laws, and the trial of his system Of
treating prisoners Is being watched
by the country with keen interest.
Mr.. Osborne. who Is heir to a
large fortune, has been intensely in
terested In prison reform, and he be-
lieves there Is something good in
everybody, even in the uniucky
wretch who has to wear prison gray
aud sleep in a cell
Not only does Mr. Osborne believe
In the men in the cells, but he goes
further. He does not believe in the
cells. RI he could have his way, there
would be no Sing Sing: there would
be no more OF the dank cells, dark
and gloomy, with their walls dripping
would be no more of the wearing down

Denmark.

N
Denmark's high rank as an asricul,
tural country is recognized all over
the world. One reason for this is
the thoroughness with which the
young men of the country are trained
early in life. For instance, for near.
ly one hundred years, Denmark has
had system OF agricultural appren-
ticeship to teach the practical side of
farming. The boys serve three years
on farms in different parts of the
country, spending one year on each
farm and receiving a small wage. They
report annually to the Royal Danish
Agricultural society. sending In notes
on their experience, instruction and
observation.
According to government statistics
little more liquor was consumed in
Denmark during the year 1914 than
during the preceding year. The
amount OF liquor 100 per cent alcohol
produced last year was 1880 900
liters, of which 1000 600 were used
for industrial and technical purposes.
According to reports from Icelandic
vessels. two British cruisers are now
cruising off the south and east coast
of Iceland.
Denmark has begun importing
chicks from Japan, 1900 arriving re-
Gently in one shipment. In former
years Denmark has imported chicks
from France and Italy, but can get
none from those countries this year
because OF the war. Japan has taken
advantage OF the opportunity with her
usual promptness and avidity.
Denmark now has a female archi-
tect, the first in her history. Her
name is Miss Agnete Laub- Hansen
who recently pssssd the acadeny's
examinations.

Norway.
Press dispatches from the war zone
state that Major General Ivan Holm
sen, who Is a Norwegian by birth, and
who has served in the Russian army
for a number OF years, has been decor
ated with the cross of st. George of
the fourth class in recognition OF an
exploit during the battles at Wladys-
laWlow last October II. When the
Russian troops began to yield and the
enemy pressed forward in pursuit,
General Holmsen took personal COM
mand of two regiments, with one Of
which he attacked the enemy in the
Hank and with the other held the front
firm. BY this maneuver he held the
enemy at bay until darkness fell and
thereby saved the retreating Russian
army from a serious rout.
1t Is reported from Bergen that
when the freighter Caprivi went to the
bottom of the sea, ALSO tons Of wheat
went down with it, entailing loss OF
| about million crowns The wheat
was consigned to the government of
Norway. The Caprivi was sunk by a
mine near Torrey island on the west
coast OF Ireland ON Friday, April 90
The captain asserts that it was a Ger
man anchored mine that caused the
, wreck. The crew were all saved in
boats. The ship sailed from America
April Is.
The 18th of May celebrations
throughout Norway this year were not
as joyous as they were last year,
but were marked by an earnestness
and deep-seated patriotism never sur.
passed in former years. The war in
Europe hangs like a cloud over Nor
way and her people are not in as
festive and happy mood as they
were year ago, when they celebrated
the centennial of their beloved country.
So careful is the government to
maintain Norway's neutrality that the
ministers have drafted a bill for the
establishment of censorship of let
ters and kilograms in order to be in
a position to suppress all expressions
that might prove offensive to the bel.
ligerent powers. II the bill passes,
Norway will be the first neutral coun.
try to adopt such a drastic measure.
DIR. Fridtjof Nansen, the famous Nor
wegian explorer and political leader,
will visit America this year, if cur.
rent reports can be relied upon. The
purpose of his visit to the United
States it not announce :, but one sur
mise Is that he is to be one of a COM
mission of experts to pass upon the
validity of Admiral Peary's claims to
having discovered the North pole.
For the first time In its history.
the gold reserve in the Bank of Nor
way is in excess of 100, 100000 crowns.
The increase in the supply of the vel
low metal is attributed by bankers
to the big profits in shipping and
the sale OF vast quantities of fish to
Germany at high prices.
Now 1t is claimed that Ole Eliasson
Presthoy of Astahuag, Nordland, is
the Oldest person in Norway. He was

Slayer of Stanford White Arrives In
New York-Cheered by Many.
New York, Jan. 26.-Harry K. Thaw,
slayer of Stanford White, arrived in
the Grand Central Terminal from Bos-
ton on Sunday. A small crowd was
massed around the gate eager to get a
glimpse OF the man whose journey
from Manchester, N H., on Saturday
was a continual ovation. He was
spoken to cordially by a score or
men. Sheriff Hornbeck took Thaw to
a hotel for breakfast and from there
the prisoner was hurried to the
Tombs. Cheering thousands met
Thaw at the north terminal station IN
Boston when he arrived from Con-
cord, N. H., where he had been sur
rendered to the New York authorities
as a fugitive from justice. William
Travers Jerome, special deputy attor-
new general of New York, had charge
of the arrangements.
