uuatavus was ueclareu Kins: when barely seventeen years of age. Sweden was a Catholic country until the period of 1S25. "when the teachings of Martin Luther began to spread like wildfire. In fact, the reform or Protestant movement spread with ' ti rapidity that threatened the very existence of the Catholic Church. Tope Clements VII. by his stubbornness, also advanced the. tenets of the reform movement. Not alone In Sweden, but In Germany, France, England and other parts of Europe the Catholic Church lost power, and from this period dates Sweden as a Lutheran-Protestant country. Hut the Pope and the Catholic Church did not remain Idle. A constant battle for the recovery within the church of the lost territory was fought by all the power at the command of the Catholic Church. In Sweden during the reign of Gustavus Vasa, and his son's and successor's, Eric XIV, Johan III, and his son, SIsismund. and Karl IX, father of Gustavus Adolphus. a constant intrigue was carried on. Every Catholic power on some pretense or other waged, for years, war gainst Sweden, not to their advantage, as subsequent events will show. yying tfce thirty years' war, Gustavus Adolphus came to the front as a statesman and soldier. By his statesmanship he made peace for Sweden and between the various Protestant countries, and united them to a whole. Europe was then, divided in two great parties, the Protestant and the Catholic. Sweden's king, as ruler of the great est Protestant kingdom and through his own great personality, was naturally the self-chosen leader of the Protestant powers, while Ferdinand JI. the Roman-German Emperor, was the adviser, under Pope Urbanus VIII (Barberini). the head of the Oat holies. Beginning with the battles of Stralaund. Iireitenfleld, Magdeburg, Grleffenhagen and Jurnberg, were a series of victories for the army of Gustavus Adolphus. The Swedish-German army of the thirtv years' war consisted of 76.000 Swedes and Finns, and 20,000 Prussian .troops, with forty-four vessels of war and seventy-one transports. The army, as the war progressed, was considerably enlarged. Gustavus Adolphu3 has been compared -with very great soldier of modern times, but In his forced march with his great army from the Donan to -the Elbe at Nurnberg to prevent Tilly and his army from Joining Wallenstein and forcing the battle of Lutzen, he comes nearer to our Sherman of the civil war and his march to the sea than to any other modem general. During the night pf the 22d and 23d of October, the Swedish-Gem an army crossed the Thuringerwald, and Guttavus Adolphus Joined forces with Due Bernard, of Weimar, who bad kept everj pass guarded. Wallenstein had made some terrible mistakes and was in a trap. Under the 1mpreslon that Gustavus Adolphus intended to remain at Nurnberg in winter quarters, he had permitted Pappenhelm to withdraw to th Rhine with 10,000 men. Arnlm -with Ills army In Schleslen could, not come. and. onJy 20,000 men were available. The Swedish King, aware of all this, decided to attack him. and during the night of Nov. 5 the whole army was placed in battle posl- . tlon. The morning of .the 6th of November, 1632, broke, and the representative men of "the thirty years' war, Wallenstein and Gustavus Adolphus, should now In open battle measure each other's strength. Wallenstein, expecting every moment the return of Pappenhelm, who had been sent for, endeavored to delay the opening of the battle; for the same reason the King wanted to force the attack. The battle commenced, and at the moment that the two armies met, the imperial troops on Wallenstein's order set fire to the city of Lutzen. The King commanded as usual the right wing of the array, and with Nils Brahe. the only Swedish general present, made the first attack. The King's plan was to force Wallenstein from the road to Ieipslc. leaving him only a retreat toward the north, where the principal strength of the united Swedish array was concentrated. At the beginning of the battle Pappenhelm had arrived; both he and Nils Brahe fell deadly wounded; the imperial troops were already in retreat, when "as a miracle writes Dlodate. the German writer who has described the battle from an imperial point of viesv-a Swedish description of the battle has never been written a heavy fog settled on the battlefield and enveloped the fighting armies, the battle dissolved itself to a collosal hand-to-hand fight, a terrible fight, man against man. Out of this darkness broke as a lightning's flash the battle's historical incident the fall of Gustavus Adolphus. Little is known of the actual circumstances of the King's death; all that is known is that the King, in company with Due Frans Albrecht of Saxe Lauenburg, had been slightly wounded In the arm. Separated from his attendants, he had been shot in the back and fell from his horse. He would still have heen saved if any of his attendants had been rear him, but, separated from all and fighting for his life, a trooper of the enemy rode up. Inquired who he was, and, receiving the answer, "King of Sweden," gave him his death -wound. The news of the King's death was only known when his horse emerged riderless from the tumult. The army, stunned for the moment by the terrible calamity, rallied and attacked the imperial troops with a madness that only revenge could satisfy, and the battle of Lutzen Oecame, therefore, one of the bloodiest battles of the thirty years' -war. Wallenstein waj forced to retreat, but made his way toward Leipsic and saved the remnants of his army. The conquerors were not in a position to follow him, and. the only result that was certain was that the great leader, the champion of the Protestants. Gustavus Adolphus. was no more. Through the whole Protestant world it was felt as if the sun had set, leaving all in darkness. BIG FIRE IN HAITI. Over' One Hundred Dwelling Houften nt Port an Prince Destroyed. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.

Ind., Dec. -Developments which have come to light In connection with a most dailng series of horse robberies In this vicinity have thrown new light on the long-suspected thieves' resort in this county. For several years all northern Indiana and southern Michigan have been victims of daring robberies. Raids have been committed almost in broad day light and the thieves have been successful In effecting, their escape.

PORTE NOT PLEASED

DOESVT WAXT AX 1XDEPEXDI1XT AMERICAN CO.MMISSIOXEU. . CoiimuI MIlo Jeivett's Appointment as InveNtlsutor of the OntruKes In Armenia Xot Yet Approved. LONDON. Dec. 10. A dispatch to the Standard from Constantinople says that the Sultan has not acquiesced In the mission of Consul Milo Jewett, who was selected by President Cleveland to Inquire Into the report upon the Turkish outrages in Armenia. The dispatch says that the Sultan appears to fear the effect of an independent report to the Washington government. Sir Philip Currle. the British embassador to Turkey, is in active communication with the Porte and the foreign embassies. It is believed, with good reason, that he is pressing the Porte to accept some measure that will satisfy the outraged public opinion of Europe. The Porte is alive to the gravity of the situation, and seems to fear either a collective note from the powers or an agreement between Russia and Great Britain for a Russian occupation of Armenia. Fuad Pasha, the bearer of Turkish orders for the Czar and Czarina, has several times got as far as the railway station, but he has not yet actually started for his destination. It is doubtful whether the Czar will consent to receive him. Altogether there is need of much diplomatic skill to extricate Turkey from the difficulty in which she finds herself. The arrest of Armenians continues. A meeting of 3,000 Armenians was held in Varna Sunday to protest against the atrocities. A deputation from the meeting, followed by -a crowd of people, visited the foreign consuls and appealed to them to ask their governments to execute Article LXI of the Berhn treaty. The meeting sent a' telegram to the Catholicos of Etchinladlzln, begging him to Implore the Czar"s clemency In behalf of their persecuted brethren. The Standard's Berlin correspondent telegraphs that the Catholicos of Etchmladlzin has forwarded a memorandum to the Russian Foreign Office detailing the outrages in Armenia. He will go to St. Petersburg himself as early as possible, ostensibly to Introduce himself to the Czar, but really to -agitate the Armenian question. The Vossi9che Zeitung has a dispatch from Constantinople which says that the mission of Consul Jewett is variously commented on, because the singular result of Mr. Newbury's inquiry, which favored Turkey against the American missionaries, is still fresh In their memories. Trustworthy Constantinople advices received at Vienna show that the Turkish Minister of Justice has Invited Hymayak, locum tenens of the Armenian patriarchate, to petition the Sultan to pardon 233 Armenians who are lying untried In provincial prisons. No, reply has been received to the invitation yet, and.it is likely to be declined, as, in seeking the pardon of prisoners, it would be necessary to describe them as rebels. Henolatlona Adopted nt ChienKO. CHICAGO, Dec. 9. A mass meeting of citizens was held at Central Music Hall to-night under the auspices of the local Armenian society to protest against the recent Armenian outrages. H. N. Higinboth am, president of the World's Columbian Exposition, presided. Among the speakers were M. M. Mangasarian, Dr. E. G. Hirsch, Judge Waterman, Mrs. Mary Holmes, Dr. If. W, Roth and Colonel Sexton. In calling he meeting to order Chairman Hlginbotham said . the meeting was not called to In any way interfere with the question of what nation should govern Armenia. It , was humanity crying out for the wrongs of hnmanltv. In the course of his remarks M. Man- J gasarian said no Armenian would dare testify before the commission of inquiry, "for the commission would soon leave the country, while the Armenian would remain surrounded by his Turkish and Kurd neighbors. The commission we want is an Anglo-American commission with an admiral at its head and a fleet in the Dardanelles, .not to shed blood, but to prevent the sheddins of blood." ' Rabbi Hirsch, in his remarks, maintained that no country in Europe could interfere, 'its each was so jealous of the other that the least ' incautious move would lead to terrible war;' that it remained for the United' States to take action in the matter: that she could convey to the Turkish government the information that unless all Turkish subjects receive protection and liberty of conscience she will forfeit the friendship of the American people. Resolutions were adopted expressing sorrow at the action of the Turkish authorities; extending sympathy to Armenians; commending the action of President Cleveland in appointing a representative of this , country to act independently on the com mission of investigation; calling on congress and the President to exercise national influence In bringing to speedy justice all who are proved to be In any way responsible for "these intolerable aggressions on the Inalienable rights of our common humanity;" tendering to the Department of State loyal support in any judicious effort to assure a government for the Armenian people which shall not only be willing and able to protect life, but to make peaceful progress possible. A letter was read from Governor Altgeld regretting his inability to be present. but expressing his hearty sympathy with the objects and purposes of the meeting Cleveland Action CrltteUed. PARIS, Dec. 9. The Temps, commenting on what it describes as America's new departure In its foreign policy, says that the same Cleveland, who, only a short time ago, had nothing but the Monroe doctrine on his lips, now violates it in two points, throwing himself into the thick of the conflict of interests of another hemisphere. The feverish anxiety that America has displayed in the far East is doubtless explained by the fact that the China-Japanese war directly affects numerous American interests. But what about the dispatch of a commissioner to Armenia? This is a small beginning, perhaps, but It Is a grave Indication fraught with the serious consequence that America may become the seventh European power. Meeting: nt Xevr York. NEW YORK, Dec. 9. A meeting to express sympathy for the persecuted Armenl ans and the outrages perpetrated on that race by the Turks was held to-night in the Calvary Baptist Church. Dr. MacArthur, pastor of the church, presided. Resolutions were passed asking the President and Congress of the United States to send a. commission to unite with other governments In Investigating the recent crimes committed by the Turks on the Armenians. XOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. Emperor AVilllnm'w View of the Conduct of Socialist!. BERLIN. Dec. 9. Emperor William today received Count Von Schouvaloff, the Russian embassador to Germany, who formally announced to his Majesty the accession of Czar Nicholas to the throne of Russia. The embassador was invited to take lunch at the palace. At noon the Emperor received Herr Von Levctzow, President of the Reichstag, and the vice presidents of that body. The audience lasted half an hour. The Emperor made the customary speech, expressing his satisfaction with their re-election. In the course of the audience his Majesty referred . to the Socialist demonstration at the first session of the Reichstag in the new Parliamentary building, and said he did not for a moment regard the matter from a personal point of view. He merely regarded It as an attack on the constitution, inasmuch as the monarchy was an essential part of the constitution. The purpose of a new bill that will be submitted to the nfehstff was to prevent such attacks. His Majesty then proceeded to speak of the present state of home affairs, the condition of husbandry and the sugar beet industry. He concluded by giving reminiscences of his last islt to Norway. It is reported in unofficial quarters that the Emperor has Fuggested a. specinl measure to prevent the recurrence of Socialist demonstrations in the Reichstag. A new Journal, to be called the Itellner Correspondenz. will shortly appear. It will replace the North German Gazette as a government organ. The North German Gazette 1eclars that It is deplorable that after Herr Singer's taunt In the Reichstag Thursday the Conservatives did not seize the opportunity to publicly sever themselves from the Agrarians xho had talked of joining the Socialists.

A CASE OF LOVE WILL FIND A WAV. A Pnlr Married Here last Monday Supposed to lie Pittnhurg; Eloper. A telegram from Pittsburg, Pa., last night asked for Information concerning the elopement of Cashiei Cox, of the Sheridan, Ind., bank, with Miss Nellie Stone, a prominent young lady of Pittsburg. It is presumed the couple were married in this- city. Last Monday evening County Clerk Fesler issued a marriage certificate to Arlando O. Cox and Nellie Stone. Just at supper time Monday evening a well-dressed man walked into the Denlson Hotel and registered "A. O. Cox and wife, Sheridan." He was given quarters and with his wife remained until Tuesday morning. One of the clerks at the house understood that Mr. and Mrs. Cox had come to Indianapolis to get married. Nothing is known here of the alleged elopement. . . SHE SAT OX THE STOVE. Two Policemen, Two Doctors and nn Ambulance to the Rescue. New York Sun. On the file at Police headquarters is the following slip: "Florence Wilson, twenty-two, single, sat on the stove accliently at residence, 255 Fourth avenue. Severely burned." The subject of this slip Js a patient in ward 12 at Bellevue Hospital. A few days ago she engaged a room on the second floor of 253 Fourth avenue. As she frequently wished to cook a light breakfast or supper in her rooom she had provided herself with a small, flat topped, sheetiron stove which had the power of generating an Immense amount of heat when occasion required. On Wednesday Miss Wilson dined up town with a friend. When he left her at her door about 10 p. m. she thanked , him for an enjoyable evening, and went unsteadily upstairs to her room. She found the little sheet-iron stove burning merrily, and sat down on the edge of the bed to admire the red glow. Then the heat of the room made her feel drowsy, and she decided to go to bed. When she, stood up the uncertainty of her feet struck her as being very funny, and she began to laugh loudly. The noise attracted the attention of another boarder, Ellen Hart, and she called down the hall to inquire what was so amusing. "Oh, nothing!" replied Miss Wilson. "I was only thinking of something; good night." Miss Hart thereupon closed her door and went to bed. In the meantime Miss Wilson got to the floor, steadying herself by holding onto the bureau. It seemed to her that it took longer to undress than usual, and she began to feel as though she'd like to sit down again. There were several chairs in the room, and there was the bed, too, but she lost her reckoning and got them mixed up with the stove. Half a minute later the occupants of the house were startled by her agonizing screams. A policeman on the corner outside started on a run toward 233. A frightened servant opened the door. "What's the matter here, anyway?" demanded the policeman." "I don't know," gasped the girl. "I think some one's been burned to death." Just then a young man dashed madly down the ctalrs. "Don't ston me." he panted, "the doc tor" and he disappeared down the avenue. The screams continued, and the policeman blew his whistle for assistance. A second policeman reached the house half a block ahead of the excited young man and Dr. Alfred C. Carpenter, of 219 Exist Nineteenth street. Dr. Carpenter learned that Miss Wilson had not been able to get up from the stove until her screams brought assistance. He set to work to relieve her, but the pain and the wine she had taken had made her frantic. "I guess this will have to be a hospital case." he said, "you'd better call an ambulance from Bellevue." When It reached the house tV- surgeon. Dr. Meyers, agreed that Miss Wilson had better be removed to the hospital, where she could be more quiet. She was assigned to a cot in ward 12. where a powerful sedative was administered. A colored woman who came to inquire for "Miss Williams" saw Miss Wilson at the hospital yesterday, and spoke half an hour with her. StnMAItlNE PHOTOGRAPHY. Uenutlful Picture Taken nt the Ilottom of the Sea by a Frenchman. New York Home Journal. A short time ago a Frenchman brought himself to the notice of scientific naturalists by undertaking an exploring tour of the Red sea, from which he brought back a strange and curious collection of fish and shells, embracing eeveral specimens entirely unknown. Continuing his researches on the coast of France he assumed a diver's costume to observe at the bottom of the sea the metamorphoses of certain mollusca Impossible to cultivate in aquaria. He was struck with the wonderful beauty of submarine landscapes, and resolved to photograph what he could, since a simple description would savor too much of an over vivid imagination. At first he worked In shallow water with a watertight apparatus, and the clearness of the water allowed him sufficient light to sensitize the plates. Hut proportionately as the depth increased clearness diminished and the motion of the waves clouded his proofs. Then the younfc scientist conceived the idea of utilizing magnesium in an apparatus of his own invention. This apparatus consists essentially of a barrel filled with oxygen, and surmounted by a glass bell containing an alcohol lamp. On the flame of the lamp by means of a mechanical contrivance, powdered maenesium Is thrown, flaring as a view is taken. The barrel is pierced with holes on the lower side ln a manner that as the oxygen diminishes the seawater enters, so preserving the equilibrium between external and Internal pressure. Beautiful submarine photographs taken on the very bed of the Med'terranean at Banyuls-sur-Mer. near the Spanish border, have been produced in this way. Hardly a day passes now but new and important photographs are produced, by cameras of ever-increasing power. New stars have been revealed that were heretofore obscured from man. It Is difficult to realize how far these worlds are from us. One of the most popular and eminent lecturers on astronomy is Sir Robert Hall, who uses simple and graphic Illustrations to clve his hearers Ideas of magnitude and distance. For Instance, he says that iroinjr at the rate of th electric tel

December 9. Down swept the chill wind from the mountain peak. From the snow five thousand summers old; On open wold and hill top bleak It had gathered all the cold. And whirled It like sleet on the wanderer's cheek: It carried a shiver everywhere From the unleafed boughs and pastures bare; The little brook heard it and built a roof 'Neath which he could hou?e him, winter- . proof. James Russell Lowell. December 10. The hoar frost glittered on the naked heath. The roar of distant winds w.s load and deep, The dry leaves rustled in each passing breath And the gay world was lost In quiet sleep. Such was the time when, on the landscie brown Througn December air the snow came down. John Howard Bryant. December 11.
