How to Get Endorsed.

A physician of louisville, we'll known
through the South, WAS surprised to receive
letter making inquiries about matri-
monial association, and when he asked for
an explanation he was told that his name
appeared as one of its indorsers. He wrote
an indignant letter to the officers, and re-
ceived reply, from which the following ex-
tracts are taken:
"No one regrets more than myself the ac-
cident which led TO the appearance of your
name in the list of references of the -
Matrimonial Association. The gentlemen
who originated this association requested
the use OF my name as president, TO which l
consented. The names of individ-
uals, as references, did not by any means,
either proxim ately or remotely, imply any
Endorsement of the association, or the prin-
ciples it involved. We have on
our list the governor of the State and his
predecessor in Office, two members OF Con-
gress, Judges, lawyers, doctors, etc., none OF
whom were notified, and not one has OBJ
j.cted, though several are known to be bit
terly opposed to the organizations.
I know less about the matrimonial associa-
tons than any one, therefore am not COM
petent to pronounce upon their moral ten
dency or influence upon society, but if sue
cess is the test of merit they are not to be al
gether condemned

DIVORCE SUIT.
A Policeman Charges His Wife with
Very Bad Conduct.

All has not been lovely entirely in the
family OF Burrel Randolph, colored police
man, judging from spicy divorce bill filed
by him against his vile Marnau. He states
th at he had desire to live decent, credit
able life, and to that end he provided nice
house for himself and wife. She, however,
had other ideas than his, and converted II
into an designation house. Here most
curious state of affairs prevailed. White
men made designations with colored women,
and colored men with white women. Ram
dolph says he demonstrated with
her, but she said: at is none Of
your business and don't you bother
yourself about it. If you don't like the
business you can leave" He says he has
been an officer for many years, and has been
honored with the confidence of the public,
and in view of this he could not consistently
permit conduct of that character to go on.
She, however, set him at defiance and still
runs her infamous establishment. Three
years ago he abandoned her for these rea-
sons. He asks for divorce.
