Christiania, Norway, Dec. 14.The delegates from the Norwegian storthing to the peace convention at Paris have returned. Of the principal bills passed lately, the raise in duty on spirituous liquors is considered ajnong the most important. Its effect on the common kinds of brandies is an increase of about cents a quart bottle at retail. Another item of much interest is the separate consular service, which has kept the minds of the politicians and newspaper people engaged for There are published ten daily news- Ilave 1atetr ar 1 CURRENT TOPICS IN NORWAY'S CAPITAL Separate Consular Service Problem Soon to Be Solved, It Is SaidNew Pro-Swedish Daily Projected jor ChristianidMany Norwegian-A mericans Come Home for Holidays.

Lately the members of the Norwegian eabient, ospeciallv the two ministers of state, Mr. Hagerup and Mr. Ibsen, have displayed much activity. Hagerup with other members of the cabinet has visited Stockholm, and Ibsen, who is permanently stationed at Stockholm, has been making frequent trips to this city.

Three years he passed the student's examination (artium) and in 1857 he was graduated from the university. He served as minister in different parts of the country until he was chosen bishop of Tromsoe in 1886. He held this office seven years and was during that time especially active in furnishing the religious education of the Finns, whose language he knew thoroly.

He caused the.Bible and other religious books to be translated into their language. His endeavors for the enlightenment of the Finns brought him the sobriquet, "Bishop of the Finns." He was called from Tromsoe in 1892 to become bishop at Trondhjem, and easy to fill and the whole Norwegian church will mourn his loss. Some Well-Known Norwegians. A few days ago Miss Aasta Hansteen celebrated lier eightieth birthday. Miss Hansteen was born Dec.

10, 1824, and i is the daughter of the celebrated Norwegian professor and astronomer, Hansteen. She was first educated as an artist, studyine painting in Copenhagen and in Duslllaorf. Her work found many admirers, and her portrait of her father found a place in the national art gallery. She overworked, however, and about 1860 gave lip art forever. Women's emancipation then became the work of her life, and she has done much good work in this line both by writing and lecturing.

She went to America in 1880 and remained there for about nine years, living in Boston most of the time. Since then she has stayed in her native land and has had the pleasure of seeing many reforms, which she was the first to fight for, realized. She is still active and full of spirit.

It is less than a year since Bishop Heuch passed away. Today comes the news from Trondhjem that Bishop Skaar died there last night, 76 years old. Johannes Nilson Skaar was born in the district of Hardanger, Nov. 15, 1828. His parents were poor farmers.

At home the boy could not secure any but a common-school education, which, at that time, meant six weeks' schooling a year. The lad already at the of 11 conceived the desire to study theology and become a minister, but his 'father was not able to give the boy an education. This, however, did not make the boy give up the idea. "When he was 18 he entered the seminary at Stord, and left there- two years later with an education prescribed for common-school teachers. It was not his intention to devote himself to teaching Bchool, but he thought, thus equipped, it would be easier to reach his goal, the ministry.

He served about three years as clerk in a judge's office. His spare hours he devoted to studies, and in 1851 he went to Christiania ana entered the well-known Heltbergs skole, commonly known as "the student factory," where many other prominent men received in 1903 its value was 70,000,000 fam wilf be of special interest across the sea.

Fortunate in- His Birthplace. Lars Haukaness was born in Hardanger, Norway, in 1865. His father owned a small estate on the shores of the world-famous Hardanger fjord or bay. The artist' was "most fortunate in his birthplace. A more beautiful, more inspiring scene than that which greeted his eyes, when he first began to look about him, is scarcely to be found anywhere.

The beauty of Hardanger has inspired poets of Norway to produce some of the finest lyrics in literature, and tourists have spread the fame of that region to all parts of the civilized world. The soul of the young artist was moved by the wonderful scenery about him, and he became an ardent lover of nature and things beautiful. His artistic instincts daily took new life, and he was filled with a desire to reproduce on canvas the beautiful things he saw.

He made rapid progress and executed all kinds of paintings. In 1885, when only 20, he obtained'a stipend for one year from the government of Norway, on the strength of a striking portrait of his paternal grandfather.

GENIUS OFHAUKANESS CONCEDED BY CRITICS Famous Norwegian Painter Inspired to Do His Best Work by the Natural Beauty of Wisconsin's Capitol. Speoial to The Journal.

Madison, Jan. 7.The coming of a genius to a small city is an important event in its history, for it means new prestige and fame. Not long ago there, came to Madison a rare, unmistakable genius who is likeliy to ac- quire worldwide, fame It Lar Haukaness, the foremost Norwegian artist in America, whose paintings have been highly praised by some of the leading "art critics of Europe and been accepted by the Paris salon. The life of Haukaness, like that of so many artists, has been marked by severe struggles and hardships, but the genius within him has given him the courage to keep up the fight for fame and fortune. At school his propensity for drawing got him into frequent scrapes with his teachers.

During the first years he had a hard struggle for existence. But Haukaness is a man of stout heart and he stuck manfully to his chosen work. He began exhibiting his creations at the Chicago Art Institute and arrested the attention of connoisseurs.

Lovers of art fingered with pleasure before his paintings they were not large or pretentious, but remarkably genuine and each possessed a peculiar charm. It was impossible for Haukaness to live continuously in Chicago. That was not to be expected of a man born and in beautiful Hardangera man whose heart fills with pleasure when mountains lift "their awful heads" before him, when giant trees wave their arms above him when rivulets "dance their wayward round'' about him when flower-sprinkled meadows smile upon him, or lakes laugh and ripple beneath." him.

Haukaness has his home in Madison, which, because of its lakes and natural beauty, him and inspires him to do effective work. Next summer he expects to leave for Norway, and, after.sojourning in his native land, will make a tour of the world, lingering in beautiful places sketching and painting, and exhibiting his works in art centers. Among the paintings of Haukaness may be mentioned these: "Lake Michi- gan," "The Muskrat Hive," "Evening at Fox Lake," "On the Eve of Autumn," "The Home-Coining," "Tho YaCht Race," Christ Walking on the Waves," and "The Breaking Up of the Des Plaines." The last named is eculiarly effective and was accepted the Paris salon a year age exhibited there last summer. It -was given enthusiastic praise by the critics, ami Mr. Haukaness received numerous tempting offers for it.
