OF EUROPE
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 19.—(By
Mail)—This is the new Eldorado.
This is the new Paris. Some call it
“the Venice of the north,” but it is
just Stockholm, today the most cos
mopolitan city in the world with a
character entirely its own.
Enough champagne is drunk here
nightly to float a battleship. Enough
money is spent daily to ransom a
king. The drinkers are the peoples of
all nations and the spenders are not
confined to any race nor any clime.
Incidentally the American legation
j here is one of the busiest doing busi
| ness anywhere under the Star Span
gled banner. Minister Ira Nelson
; Morris, of Chicago, needs, keep up a
full head of steam day and night to
clear the work pouring into his office.
The affairs of Austria, Germany, Tur
key, Bulgaria. Russia and Roumania
are cleared through the legation at
Stockholm. It is here that much of
the work of exchanging prisoners be
tween Russia and Germany is con-.
ducted. It is here, too, that Russian
money for the relief of prisoners in
Germany is handled, and vice versa.
In a few months Germany has hand
ed over to the legation over 50,000,00
roubles for German prisoners in Rus
sia.
Then there are the letters to open,
read and answer. As many as 132
letters came from Germany in one
day asking for information about
prisoners in Russia. Other letters
come from Swedes in America, or
Americans of Swedish origin, asking
for information. One man wrote that
he had heard that Swedish women
were powerfully beautiful and asked
the minister to find him a wife to
bring to America.
Of course the ministers represent
ing the belligerent countries are not
particularly “chummy” with one an
other. If the British minister wishes
to say something to the German min
ister, for example, it is obvious that
he does not call on him and whisper
it tenderly into his ear. He requests
the American minister to do the thing
for him as a rule and the same rule
holds good as between most of the
other diplomats.
One hears good things about Min
ister Morris. They say that despite
his exceedingly delicate position as
diplomatic representative and go-be
tween for so many enemy powers, he
has the confidence and the esteem of
them all.
Business men from all over the
world flock here. As the countries at
war do not like to have commercial
travelers, or any other kind of trav
elers, passing in and out of their ter
ritory, Sweden at the doorway of
Russia, Germany, England, Austria
and France, has been made headquar
ters for business men from all over
the world. The United States, Cana
da, Argentine, Denmark, Holland,
Spain, Brazil, Chili, China and all the
rest. And Stockholm is headquarters
for everybody with anything to sell,
be it a new invention for killing folks
or apatent food calculated to contain
nourishment for an entire regiment in
one pill-box. The idea here in Stock
holm is if a business man tries to
sell to Russia and Russia doesn’t buy,
he is not barred from calling on Ger
many that same afternoon and offer
ing it to her. If she doesn’t buy, the
agent may continue his rounds with
out prejudice to himself or his wares.
This he could scarcely do anywhere
else, even in the United States or Ar
gentine, despite the fact they are neu
trals, too, for here he is practically
on the field and in direct communica
tion with even the Germans who can
week-end here and get back to Berlin
to report in a very few hours.
Big business is being done here.
The great jewelry establishments—as
many and as fine as one finds in New
York, Chicago, Buenos Ayres or Lon
don—are selling as never before and
| at advanced prices.
Millions seem to be made daily.
And the whole city reflects the lovely
golden glow of yellow coins. The
place seems happy, the happiest I’ve
seen anywhere since the war began,
happier even than New York. There
is hustle everywhere, but despite it
folks here seem to have the art of el
egant living down to almost as fine
a point as they have in Paris.
So as the sun goes down lights
blaze in restaurants such as''Broad
way never dreamed of and corks be
gin to fly.
Sleek men in wide expanses of shirt
front; beautiful women, manicured
and coiffed and dolled up; busy wait
ers, radiant with large tips in pros
pect; subdued lights the color of can
teloupe—or old gold or pink; the tin
kle of fountains; the throbbing of
orchestras which know enough not to
play too loudly; flowers, growing
palms; seductive perfumes; bank
notes of large denominations; laugh
ter, eyes with sidelong glances. This
is Stockholm.
SENTENCED TO THREE
YEARS IN PENITENTIARY
(Dawson News.)
Joseph Andre pleaded guilty in
the Yukon territorial court this morn
ing to the charge of maliciously kill
ing forty-five swine owned by Zo
tique Leroux and valued at $2,000 to
$2,600. Judge Macaully immediately
sentenced Andre to three years in the
penitentiary at Dawson.
Andre, after pleading guilty, was
allowed to tell his story of the case,
and gave a remarkable tale. He
claimed that he was without money,
and had no prospect of getting work
for the winter, and, being 63 years of
age, he thought the best thing he could
do was to commit some crime that
would place him behind the bars. He
had been there before, and always got
his "board and a good bed regularly,
and a good bath every week. Leroux,
he claimed, owed him money for work
performed and had not paid, and, on
top of that, had borrowed several hun
dred dollars from him. Leroux had
the pigs on a ranch near the North
Fork and went away and left Andre in
charge of the place. Andre, thinking
the case over, concluded to kill the
pigs to get even with Leroux. Accord
ingly, he went out about 4 o’clock in
the morning and commenced the
slaughter.
Andre dispatched an ugly looking
boar and several othtr big pigs with
a rifle and finished the rest with an
ax.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
