1 WILL *THE LID FIT? By M. Alger. Christiania, Norway, Oct. 25. Autumn is full upon us. The last tourists have left the country and we shall be all by ourselves until the Hol menkoll ski races at least. From a financial point of view the tourist traffic of the year has been most satisfactory, and unless something unforeseen occurs it is sure to be stifl larger next year. The number of American visitors has been larger than ever and they are considered the best visitorsbecause they leave so much money behind. The cropB have been good in most parts of the country, and among the farmers satisfaction prevails, altho in some regions the fruit crop proved a failure, owing to frost late in the spring. In the World of Letters. Another sign of the approaching win ter is that almost every author, great and small, has about finished a new book. Two of them are already on the market. First came Arne Gar borg's "Jesus Messias," which is a FORTUNES FOR ALL WHOJNVEST NOW SATES $9,711,655 A TEAR Uinssal Opportunity How Offered the Hai of Small leans to Become IndependentlyBicb. Every great electrical Invention has made fortunes for ltd original stockholders. The American Bell Telephone company has paid $200,- 000 for each $100 invested in Its stock at its organization. Solicitors went from door to door in several cities begging people to buy the stock, but many laughed at the idea of there ever being a need for the telephone. It was hard to make investors see the possibili ties of the business. Those who did are among the world's richest people. Such chances are not often offered the small Investor. The first such opportunity In a great many years, that gives every promise of dupli cating the telephone in profits and universal demand is the Electric Signagraph and Sema phore. Some of the best-known railroad experts in America declare these instruments will prevent railroad collisions, of which there is an average of 300 a month in the United States With these instruments the train dispatcher has con stant control over every train on his division. The Signagraph also gives privacy to iart tele phones and permits the sending of private tele grams to any one of 100 or more telegraph offices withovit the knowledge of other oper ators and without In any way interfering with the regular telegraph circuit. KAILHOAD APPROVES SYSTEM. No extra wires are required. The cost is so small and the advantages are so great that it Is predicted by some of the best experts in America that all railroads will adopt the system. One Signagraph is required for each telephone, there are over 13,000,000 telephones In use and at a monthly rental of 25 cents eachthe amount offered800,000 instruments will earn $900,000 a year. There are 300,000 miles of railroad in the United States, and less than lo per cent is equipred with a signal service because of the Inefficient systems heretofore used and their great cost. If only one-twentieth of this mileage were equipped with the Signagraph and Sema phore theper year1 fore OUR FAKE PHOTOGRAPHER CATCH ES MAYOR-ELECT HAYNES IN HE ACT OF TRYING THE UD, WHI LE MAYOR JONES HOLDS THE BUILDING.

More than $0,000,000 were lost last year In property destroyed in raUroad collisions and 50,000 persons were killed or injured. This amount would cover the entire cost of the Signagraph and Semaphore system over every mile of railroad in the United States for two years and make the horrors of railroad collis ions unknown Experts admit the necessity for these instru ments. President Roosevelt has referred to the necessity for safety devices In two of his messages and $75,000 was appropriated by Con gress to. be nsed 'in enforcing the safety appli ance law. Forty railroads bare been indicted by the United States Attorney-General for viola tions of this law, and far-sighted Investors are putting their money into the company. Every statement made herein will be verified to the letter. A limited amount of the capital stock is now for sale. No one will be asked to Invest a cent until be has thoroughly satisfied himself of the merits of the proposition. All Who can are urged to come and see these Instru ments In operation.

H Dramatic and Social. |ple for increased reading of "the good old book." But above all other literary products of the season stands Bjornstjerne Bjornson's new book, "Mary." Al tho Biornson is now a man well ad vanced in years (he is 74), there is certainly nothing about his latest work that betrays this. It is as full of life and action and of spirit, as buoyant as anything that his fertile pen ever produced. In his native country, the book has almost caused a sensation in literary circles. Every body agrees that it is a great work, tho there seems to be much difference of opinion as to the "sermon" it preaches, and whether the heroine, Mary, shall be considered the ideal, natural woman, or just the opposite. Bjornson's "Mary" will be trans lated into nearly all European lan guages, while Japan will have its special edition and so will America, aside from the British issue. By Christmas Norwegian literature will be enriched by a considerable addi tion from penB well known before and from novices. j- As to Camilla Clifford, The Journal has, lately produced Eictures of the famous variety star and er future homo in England, when she becomes a "lady," and it may there fore be of interest to know something about the days of her childhood, which were spent in this city. Her original native Was Tutti Ottesen, and she was born in America, where her mother died while Tutti still was very young. At the age of 7 she came to Norway with her father, but when he returned to America she was left be hind in Christiania, with an uncle and aunt. The uncle died shortly after, and her aunt started a delicatessen store. Little Tutti proved a most ef ficient drummer for her aunt's fish balls and other products, which she peddled from house to house, and her bright face and good humor won cus tomers everywhere. The aunt's health, however, gave way, and Tutti, not quite 16 years old, returned to America, where she turned to anything that brought her an honest living. She scrubbed floors and did washing. Final ly she got into the chorus at a New York theater and one fine day her ex quisite beauty was discovered by Charles Dana Gibson, the famous artist and creator of the "Gibson Girl," and from then on her career has been one continued triumph. But she has always kept on the right track, no success has turned her head and she has been fteaf to flattery and intrusive admiration. Neither has she forgotten her old aunt, who regularly receives monthly remit tances from the" famous Camille Clif ford. Last summer Miss Clifford paid a visit to Norway, and her approaching marriage to the son of a British lord made her a person of mark in Norway's capital. Her old aunt never tires of telling what a good girl Tutti really is. The Royal Family. Since the departure of the queen of Englandj King Haakon and his family lived quietly at Bygdoe Konsgaard un til the king officially opened the Val ders railroad, in the latter part of Sep tember. The next move was the royal couple's visit to Denmark, whence they returned only a few days ago. The opening of the storthing having taken place, tfiey will leave for England early in November. The palace at Christiania is undergoing great changes as to the interior, and in the meantime Bygdoe Kronsgaard remains the royal residence. The king has recently made several Visits to departmental offices in order to acquaint himself with the work of the administration in its different branches. The Opening of the Storthing. The fifty-sixth regular session of the Norwegian storthing was solemnly opened by King Haakon Oct. 22. The queen was present and also the mem bers of the diplomatic corps. Troops paraded in front of the building, and thousands crowded the adjacent street, striving to get a glimpse of the splen dor that goes with such functions. The hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and the gala uniforms of the officers and diplomats, as well as the gowns worn by some of the ladies, made a fine show, such as has seldom been seen in this city. It was, the first storthing King Haakon had opened, and the first, since Norway became an entirely free and sovereign nation. The king's message was delivered by his majesty in a clear and distinct voice* and? judging from its, contents^ things look rather bright in old J&n*. way at present and -still better times may be expected. The Journal in Norway.-tp There seem others beside myself who read The Journal in Norway. Lately I have seen in local papers sev eral items taken from The Journal. .The report of 'AmundBen's expedition, written from Kome, AxasKa, was one of them, and the encounter Bjorn Bjorn eon had with the Chicago editor was another. AIBO during the Stensland bank affair the paper was quoted fre quently.

A traveler arrived at the place, and after having sought lodgings with the inspector, confided to him that he was anxious about the safety of a larg^ amount of gold which he bad with him. Some time afterwards he observed two men digging near the house, and overhejjfcrd a remark which roused his suspicions, and led him to suppose that the escalation was^ intended for his grave. He was unable to obtain help on the spot, and, abandoning his bags, he de serted the house, and after traveling some distance along the road, hid him self in the branches of a tree.
