Portraits and Sketches of Prominent Scandinavians Among Ensiness and Professional Men Generally. St. Paul has not as large a proportionate population of Scandinavians as her sister city, and, as a rule, that portion of her people has not taken the same rank, but, as a writer in "Scandinavia" says, the people, as a rule, are prosperous, thrifty and generally respected, and have a fair share of culture and hit dligence. There are some delightful social circles, which grace homes as relined and pleasant as can be found anywhere, and while a large number of the Scandinavians who have made their homes there are. from the necessities of tlic case, "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for the world at large, there is a degree of average intelligence which will compare well with any nationality represented in the city to-day.

Lawabiding, hard-working and saving, they occupy in a majority of cases their own homes, and take their share of responsibility in state and municipal affairs. sic AND ORGANIZATIONS. Religiously, the wants of the Scandinavian population are well supplied. There are four Swedish, four Norwegian and two Danish churches which hold regular services, with an aggregate membership of about families. There is a Scandinavian Young Men's Christian association, which is doing a satisfactory work, and a Norwegian Temperance society which has a membership of about fifty persons.

The Norwegian Infantry company and Vega Literary and Normanna Library societies are nourishing organizations. Its press has two able Scandinavian representatives in Nordvesten and Skaffaren. both flourishlug weeklies: and in its professional and business men st. Paul numbers many Scandinavians of worth and ability. The only official representative of the Scandinavian mother countries residing in St.

Paul is Hagbarth Sahlgaard, who. as consul for the kingdom of Norway and Sweden, has administered the affairs of his office in such a manner as to merit the satisfaction of the home government and to win the respect and confidence of those with whom he has been brought Into official relations. The Danish consul for Minnesota. F. S.

Christensen, resides at Push City. A picture of Mr. Sahlgaard is published in this issue. THE INFLUX OF SCANDINAVIANS to St. Paul came with the growth of the city after the war.

although there were some settlers of Scandinavian origin to be found there as far back as 1855. Among those now living who date their residence from that period is the venerable John Swainson, who came to the stale with the first colony of settlers from Sweden in the year 1858, and settled in the St. Croix valley. A year or two later he removed to St. Paul, and has spent a large share of his life since then in that city, although his residence has been broken somewhat by business ventures elsewhere.

His relation of incidents of the pioneer life of that day are interesting. Growing steadily since then with the enlarging population of the city, representatives of the three Scandinavian nations have kept pace in numbers with the city's growth, until they now number about one-fifth of the whole number of people. Of these, those of Swedish birth exceed in numbers the Norwegians and Danes. THE SCANDINAVIAN l'WKSS has two able representatives in St. Paul in Skaffaren and Nordvesten as home papers.

The paper has had a remarkable success, having iit these few years worked up a circulation of over 12,000. The paper's programme is free, liberal, especially devoted to the interests of the farming class, is independent Republican in politics and absolutely neutral in religious matters, chr.

Brandt lately sold ins paper and assumed an editorial position for Minnesota and Dakota states on the Chicago paper, Skandinnven. Skaffaren was originally started in Red Wing. in and was subsequently removed to St. Paul, where it was for a time published by private individuals. In 1882 the Lutheran Publication society of the Northwest was organized and became a corporate body, purchasing Skaffaren and the Minnesota Staats Tidning, consolidating the same.

This corporation is still continuing the publication of the paper as a political weekly newspaper, devoting one page to church matters. Skaffaren is the oldest Swedish newspaper in the Northwest, has a large subscription list ami wields naturally a powerful influence among the Swedish- Americans of the Northwest. It has always staunchly supported the Republican party, and is one of the party's mainstays in the cosmopolitan state of Minnesota. It is the only Swedish paper published at St. Paul, editor-in-chief, B.

At Grand Forks to-day the Norwegians have arranged for a grand "Syttendemai meeting." The different nationalities up there have been keeping pretty distinctly apart from each other. But, judging from the prominent part which the Scandinavians took in the meeting" lately held at Grand Forks, it may be predicted that the Irish-Americans in return will partake there in the Norwegian celebration of the 17th of May.

The orator, our Rev. Kristopher Janson, surely will make the Grand Forks audience thrill with emotional enthusiasm, as he lets loose on the glorious Norwegian LAI' CLAlItK, AVIS. Wisconsin, at an early period, was the principal stronghold of the Scandinavians in America. It is still the home of a vast number of Norwegians, and this year Eau Claire is on hand with quite an extensive programme in the line of "Syltendemai programmes." The Norwegian orator, author and critic, Rev. Erik L.

Peterson, of Faribault, will deliver the speech of the day. TIIK SWEDISH BItOTHERS. The society of the Brothers'' will join in the 17th of May parade at Minneapolis, headed as it will be by SidAvell's band. So will also the Norden society and the Swedish guard. The Dania society also partakes in the march and festivities to-day.

It is Impossible to name all the societies that will partake in the demonstration (because it is not known beforehand exactly how many), but it might be pointed out here, as a fair token of a better understanding between the three Scandinavian nationalities, that the harmony and good will displayed to-day shows an attainment never before owned by Scandinavians in this state.

The Norwegia '-Temperance association, which originated from the Augsburg seminary, has grown quite strong with the Scandinavian element in South Minneapolis, and many of its leading members have worked hard and are continually doing for the progress of; tlu; association. ST.

ANTHONY SCANDINAVIANS. Quite often it has been given visitors and all interested in the Scandivian nationality that South Minneapolis is the stronghold of the Scandinavians. But of late the Fast side town has entered into a sturdy competition with Southtown as far as the claim to supremacy in holding the most Scandinavians. It is hard to say which part just at present is entitled to the foremost rank! in this respect, but the itemized ot arranging for to-day's festival bring some pretty strong evidence in favor of the East side. It has been stated by prominent members of the committee on arrangements that some of the heaviest contributions and some of the most active and able work during tin preparatory proceeding has come from the Fast side." Hence the decision of the conimitte let the parade to-day have its line ol march extended to a trip across the river.

The St. i. e. the Scandinavians over there never saw any such fun as a procession file around their corners, and when they do contribute good little why it isbut fair that they should have some soil of satisfactory recognition. This yeai Norwegians of the East side demanded some line of march to be reserved for their, home view.

and the coin mittee has done well in allowing it done There has been some fault found witl: this extension of the parade route, but if anybody will take the trouble and ex amine all the circumstances connected with the concern, he will have to admit the just prudence of the allowance oi the part of the committee. The above is a cut of L. T. Stensgaard, a representative Norwegian of St. Paul, who came to this country about five years ago, and by his energy, skill and shrewdness has placed himself in the foremost rank of St.

Paul's business men. He has made hosts of friends among all nationalities, and by attention to business and strict integrity has established an enviable reputation as a dealer in St. Paul real estate, and lias unbounded faith in the future of the Saintly City. Mr. Stensgaard can be found at his place of business, corner of Seventh and Sibley streets, St.

Office, Gamer Third and Sibley Streets, St. Paul, Minn. Our purpose in establishing a General Emigration Office at St. Paul was to give correct detailed information about THE GREAT NORTHWEST, And to induce, by all honorable means, Scandinavians in America and Europe to choose the Northwest as their future home. We offer to our Scandinavian countrymen 2,000,000 ARCES OF LAND ALONG- THE ST.

PAUL, MINNEAPOLIS MANITOBA RAILWAY, Of the Finest Timber, Grazing and Farming Land in the State. THE TIMBER LANDS are situated in Wright, Meeker and Stearns counties, between St. Paul, Minneapolis and Sauk Centre, and the proceeds of timber alone, so near market and railroad, will more than repay the present price of these lands. THE TIMBER AND PRAIRIE LANDS are located in Pope, Grant, Douglas and Otter Tail counties, and justly called THE PARK REGION OF MINNESOTA. This is the land of Lakes, Rivers and Brooks, of Prairies, Meadows and Timber Belts.

The Park Reqion has ample railroad facilities, and penetrated by competing lines, giving farmers the best possible market.
