DIvlNN ON DIVORCE.
Views Of Prominent Clevgymen on
DR.. Dix's Utterances Regarding
Marital Deparatiens.


The Rev. DR., Morgan Dix's outspoke,

"Regardinp Dir. Dix's assertion that

country il an enormity of Protestant.
ism, am constrained to admit tina.
Protestants do frequently permit and
commit some actions in this direction
that would not be tolerated for a mo-
ment by either Jews or Mlherinp Cstho-
lies. And yet do not claim that the
divorce law Is altogether bad. People
are sometimes bound together who have
no business to be, and it is but Justice
and with a strong tinge of humanity
that they be afforded some means of re-
lease
The Rev O. II. Tiffany, pastor of the
Arch street Methodist Episcopal Church,
said !: 81 have not read anything CON
cerning DR.. Dix's lectures upon the sub
ject Of divorce. Not long ago | preached
a sermon in which expounded the
law. The system of divorce as 1t now
exists is y crying sin"
The Rev. Charles q. Ames, pastor of
the Unitarian Church, at the corner of
Broad and Spring Garden streets, said ::
81 do not believe that the cause for di-
vorce should rest alone In adultery
When a man is faithless to Il woman in
other respects, such AZ habitual drunk
enness, neglect or other seriously i'm
proper conduct, the woman should not
be bound to him throughout eternity
Nor do consider, as DR. Dix claims,
that all the evils resulting from the sys-
TEN ofdivorce are attributed entirely
to Professionalism. PerhapA that should
be put in little different manner. No
marriage Is perfect without religion as
its principal element. Marriage is IA
thing ofdivine law, but owing to the
fact that it involves contract between
man and woman in the matter Of the
endowment of the wife by the husband
with his worldly goods and obedience
to the husband on the part of the wife.
it is necessary that it should also have
the sanction Of the law.
"a marriage contract before Justice
Of the Peace or other civil authority is
quite as holy and binding as a marriage
by a minister, excepting in
the visible Acknowledgement in the

Establishing Confidence.

The steadily increasing number of those
who are use using Compound Oxygen; the
favorable reports which are being received
daily, reaching to hundreds every month;
the cures that are being made in desperate
cases, which often seem little less than mira
Giles, and the number of voluntary testimoni-
ais from persons of high charcter and in tell-
gence which are constantly received, all
demonstrate the fact that the Compound
Oxygen Treatment is what is claimed for 1t
viz. new and higher development of cura
tive force, based on strictly scientific and
pathological principles. 1t is becoming
clearer to the public every day, that its adj
ministrations are not holding out fallacious
hopes to the sick and suffering, but offering
an almost certain means of relief in any form
of disease which may be arrested or cured
through the establishment of a new life in
the vital system. Send to Drs. Starkey q
Palen, Nos 100 and I'LL Girard Street, Phil
adelphia. for their Treatise on Compound
Oxygen, its Nature, Action, and results"
and learn all about this new and extraOrdin-
airy remedy. The Treatise will be sent free.

A Pleading Wife Saves Murderer From a

Pleading Wife Saves Murderer From n
Mob's Vengeance.
CAMBRIDGE, o., Nov. 15-This town is in
fever of excitement tonight over the murder
of a negro and the narrow escape of the
murderer from death at the hands of aband of
miners. Thomas Towner, white man, who
lives at the mines east of town, has for long
time been violently jealous of an inofensive
white-haired negro named John Dickens,
seventy years old. Going home last
night Towner found Dickens in the
house talking to his wife. Towner at
once knocked Dickens down and beat
and kicked him until his victim appeared TO
be dead, crying to his terror-stricken wife
that he would kill her and Dickens, His
wife escaped and ran to the neighbors, telling
the story of her husbands crime.
In few minutes 100 miners assembled and
marched to Towners house. Towner stood in
the door with rife and threatened to kill the
frstman whoapproached; buta rush was made
and he was overpowered and taken to a con-
venient tree. A rope was about his neck,
but just as the men were about to draw the
murderer up the pleadings of his wife induced
them to desist and after considerable parley-
ing Towner was handed over to the author
tiles.

0'DONNELL.

General Pryor, His American Counsel, Fi-
Rally Accorded an Interview.
LONDON, Nov. 14.-The preparations for
ODonnelps defense are we'll advanced.
Roger A. Pryor had long and satisfactory
interview with the prisoner to-day, the first
since his arrival. McInerny, OF O'Donnell's
counsel, has brought from Irelan a mass of
evidence, and he feels confident the verdict
will not be wilful murder. Witnesses from
the Cape of Good Hope are expected to ar
rive in England Saturday. VIM. J. Hoppin,
Secretary Of the American Legation, in the
absence of Mlnister Lowell, visited O'Don-
nell, and formally ascertained the fact of his
American citizenship.
The prison rules heretofore prevented Mr..
Prior from seeing O'Donnel except with the
permission of the Home Department. The
solicitor for O'Donnell wrote the Home Sec
rotary asking permission for Prior to visit
his client. The Secretary replied that Prior
must make personal application, stating the
grounds of the request Prior made the re-
Quired application upon the sole ground
that he, being of the cou nsel, deemed it ex-
pedient for the defense that he should see
him. The Home Department thereupon
granted the request. Prior was afforded ev-
cry facility by the Off Gals of Newgate for
the interview, which lasted two and half
hours.

The Marvellous singing Doll.

This charming novelty is advertised in this
issue, by Massachusetts, Organ Company,
81 Washington street, Boston, Massa-
chusetts, and certainly nothing will
appeal more quickly to the children than a
Doll that will sing song. The price is very
reasonable, the Doll is beautiful affair, and
the ingenious singing attachment will de-
light the young and amuse the old. The
little girl who finds Weber Doll 'in her
stocking at Christmas time will be the envy
of all.
Dear Sir: The beautiful Singing Doll came
safely, and far exceeded my expectation of
what Singing Doll could be. Our little
folk were charmed with its beauty. but when
it sang, their delight was unboHnded. 1t
will be to them thing of beauty and q con-
slant joy. Sincerely yours.
