A PHILADELPHIA husband got divorce
from his wife because he showed i'm the taking
oftestimony that she was shi ewish and loud
voiced; that she slammed bible down upon
the floor, was extremely disrespectful to a
visiting minister, and otherwise unladylike.
II was not gainsaid that she had been a care
ful housekeeper, a kind mother, and faith
ful wife. Now. the counsel of the divorced
woman comes before the court and asks for
an order that her husband pay 81 a week
allowance for her; and he cites the act of
assembly permitting divorce on the ground
of "cruel and barbarous treatment" which
provides that, to guard against,the possibility
of the woman put away becoming charge
on the county, the husband might be directed
to support her afterward. 1t is q novel,
though not unprecedented case, but it seems
reasonable that the motion should be allowed
The woman's infimties are not of a vicious
character and she may not be responsible for
them; they are such as were very likely
disclosed before he took her "for worse" as
well as for better and if the court frees him
from obligations to live with her there is no
good reason why the husband should be
exempt from liability for her support.

The PardOninp Power

The board of pardons, in disposing of the
case OF DIR. Albert G. +. Goersen, the
Philadelphia wife poisoner, puts on record
and before the public its protest against
being asked to substitute its functions for
those of juries in every part of the COM
monwealth, or TO supersede and review the
supreme court, ''to whom every person ac-
cuSed may now resort for the correction of
errors" and the board very plainly saws
that such powers do not belong to it and it
will not assume them.
No fault can be found with the board of
pardons for this declaration and if it has
been annoyed by unreasonable importantly,

But the pardoning power is one of vast

II is difficult, as the Pennsylvania board no
doubt has found, to fix by metes and bounds

used. II was once understood that the

final recovery. Some of the Republican
newspapers, anxious about the succession,
intimate that if he should have a lucid inter-

WHEN electric lighting became popular a
few years ago, it was thought that it would
drive gas to the wall in short order, and large
sums of money were invested i'm the new
lighting scheme. There was great shrinkage
in gas shares, and the new illuminant seemed
to have a free field. But as time wore on,
gas began to recover and electric light to
decline, the latter because too many people
rushed into it at one time, causing overpro-
duction and consequent cheapuess The
