were three applicants for divorce at the
same time, and all these thirty applica,
tions had to be granted, for such is the
law Of the old Bay State that three years
abandonment makes divorce per
missable. The venerable Judge
sitting in these cases, after
the sixth had been disposed of, and,
looking at the twenty-four others, many
of whom were mere schoolgirls in ap-
pearance, said, at is shocking to contem-
plate the state of morals in this great
Commonwealth that is here to be OBJ
served. Has it come to this? l am here
to administer the law as it stands. The
law says that desertion for three years is
cause for divorce, but ! see clearly how
it operates" By tacit understanding
each man and woman in the State may
have, between the ages of twenty and
sixty, thirteen and one-third wives or
husbands, all living at the same time,
without any violation of the laws of the
State. The foregoing facts indicate that,
whereas, while in some States people
marry too little, in the old Bay State,
the mother of morals, the home of high
culture and the inventor of baked beans
and Goldfish balls, they marry altogether
too much.

TOO MUCH MATRIMoNY.

There are some communities where
they marry too little, and Others where
they marry too much, and the moral
scruples of those communities in which a
due matrimonial equilibrium is main
tained is very naturally prejudiced
against either of these two extremes. In
some of the extremely rural mountain
districts of Kentucky and Tennessee and
the Carolinas and West Virginia great
many of the people are extremel y care
less about the legal technicalities that
bind two hearts as one. Custom has
given sanction to usage which to more
enlightened society savors somewhat of
the immoral Of the too much married
the Mormons furnish very notable ex-
ample, and perhaps the too much mar
ried are as obnoxious to the moral sense
of the public as the too little married.
Either error is looked upon as indicating
rather low stage of civilization or moral
culture.

The Policeman at the Play.


During the first act of ''Frou Frou"
at the Providence Opera-house an Incl
dent occurred which created no little
commotion for a few minutes. A police
man in the gallery became interested in
the play, and by the merest accident
knocked off his own cap, which, in its
downward course, took with it two glass
globes from off the gas iixtures-one from
the gallery row and one from the bal
cony. These fell with loud crash and
jingle on two gentlemen's heads. Ex-
Alderman Raynsford had the misfortune
to receive the full force of one of the
globes on his Uranium. Quite a severe
scalp wound was the result, from which
the blood flowed cdriously. The other
gentleman received only scratch. Mr..
Raynsford went into the Narragansett
Hotel and had the cut dressed by DIR.
Perry, and, returning soon, saw the play
through. The policeman felt very badly
about the affair, which was by no means
any fault of his.
