Niagara Hackmen.

NIAGARA FALLS, July l9.-Niagara's great
est nuisance has been partially abated. One
can wander up and down the streets on the
river bank from the brink of the Falls to a
point by the rapids quarter of mile above
without encountering the pestiferous hack
man His voice is hushed on this tract of
land, for it is now the property of the State,
and the Commissioners have adopted regula-
tions that will henceforth make cabby an
inoffensive, perhaps respectable, sort of
being. They moved early in the matter of
regulating him. They had a practical expe-
rience themselves once, which perhaps in
iuenced them to take early and decisive ac-
ton. They came down to the Falls in a
party one day, and as soOn they emerged
from the station they were beseged by i'm
Fortunate hackmen. President Dorsheimer
was an inviting figure, and fastening upon
him they poured their offers into his ear
They would take him and his whole party
here, there, and everywhere for the most
modest sums. In vain he waved them off
and shook his umbrella, then his fist, at
them thev were not to be frightened. Fin
ally some villager better Informed than his
neighbors came along and said "'rhem's the
Park Commissioners, fellers." The drivers
skunk awav at once, and the Commissioners
escaped to their hotel inflamed and indignant.
The drivers all know the Commissioners now
and have never solicited them since.
But the memory of a great wrong can
never be etfaced. and so the Commissioners,
far as lies in their power have determined
to repress the hackmen. Commissioner An
drew II. Green says there is no law warrant
ing their determination, therefore they will
be regulated This is to be done as fol-
lows: A hack stand will be located some
where on the reservation. and this the hack
men will be permitted to occupy on certain
conditions. The first of these Is that they
shall remain mute in the presence of visitors.
unless the latter show disposition to engage
their services. The soliciting of business
will not be tolerated, neither will they be
permitted to drive their empty carriages over
the grounds in search of customers. For
the present at least, they will be required to
conform strictly to the letter of the village
ordinance in the matter of fares. In time a
more reasonable rate NAV be established as

The divorce law that was enacted in
France in July, 1894. is of especial impor-
lance rs an indication of the changed sem
timent of the French people. 1t is less
than hundred years since the first divorce
law was passed in France. and that was
an outcome of the chaotic condition of So
ciety that resulted from the Revolution.
1t virtually gave divorce to whoever de-
sired one Under Napolean reasonable

the re.establishment of the monarchy led
to its repeal From that time until July
of last year no method of divorce was rec
ognized by the French law. Those who
advocated the new measure met with
strong opposition from the large and in
fluential part of the French people who
had not ceased to regard marriages as an
indissoluble sacrament. The new law is
similar IN many respects to that of 1903.
The most marked difference is that divorce
cannot now be obtained as then, by
.'mutual consent" But decree of either
limited or absolute divorce will be granted
for the infdeliv OF either party. condemn
alton for an infamous crime. extreme
cruelty, or other similar wrong. A linn
tied divorce may be made absolute at the
end of three years. The statute as first
passed was the result of a compromise,
and doubtless will soon be more or less
modified But its repeal does not seem at
all likely. and hereafter France may be
reckoned among the countries where the
problem of regulating the dissolution OF
the marriage contract for the benefit of
society is to be worked out

The Connecticut Board of Health h

The Connecticut Board of Health has
been stirring up the towns throughout
that snug little State in regard to sanitary
matters, for it has been found out that
most local officers fail to take advantage
OF what legal powers they do possess to
guard the public health. Connecticut
towns are not alone in the shortcomings
Of this kind. Probably in majority OF
small towns and villages throughout the
Union the authorities are equally neglect
full.
It has been known for some time that
efforts have been renewed toward settle
ment of the long conflict between the
trunk line railroads. Begun by persons
largely interested in railroad securities,
the negotiations have reached stage
where success is mainly dependent on the
arrangement OF details This work. which
is full of difficulties and complexities,
railroad officers have now taken up in the
hope that it may be accomplished. Con-
siderable progress is said to have been
made. although only general plans have
been agreed on. The adjustment en-
braces the transfer of the Vanderbilt rail-
roads in Pennsylvania. the South Pennsvl-
vania and the Beach Creek roads to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the
acquisition by the New York Central of
its young and Inflated rival, the New
York. West Shore and Buffalo.
Sir Peter Lumsden in his address before
the Royal Geographical Society has made
admissions which ought to strengthen the
peace party in England He has acknowl-
edged that the Penjdeh district is recover
ing under Russian rule, that the popua-
ton is settling down and becoming peace
able and industrious, and that brigandage
is disappearing. That is 10 say, Russian
diplomacy may be bad, but Russian adj
ministration is vast Improvement upon
local anarchy and predatory raids. Wher-
ever the Cars battalions have penetrated
in Central Asia, the slave trade has disap-
peared and systematic pllaging by bands
of hrigands and marauders has been sup
pressed. On the other hand, the good that
England has done by her war in Soudan
is invisible to the naked eye. She has
practically reopened the slave trade al
khartoum. under the Mahdi. and has done
really nothing to pactfy the Soudan.

A Few Thoughts Concerning tn c

The following thoughts on the above

gram, furnish food for thought, both

To-morrow will be New Years day.
With the exception of calls It's observance

of general good cheer, an expression of
friendly regard by presents or otherwise,

many persons map out their general line Of
policy for the new year, looping off bad
habits in busines,, in social life and in
personal indulgences of every description.
With the young, il ia a mile-stone On the
road to success with the aged, il is u mile
stone indicating that the end is near. To
some it brings feelings of unalloyed pl as

not altogether pleasant 10 contemplate
No matter what man may do, he neither

come and go by the nrevocable law, and
man IL carried nearer his Journeys end by
each revolution. Providence has so order
ed that age accommodates mankind to
this condition of things and they learn not
to fear the end on the contrary, those who
have spent many years in lifer struggles
are generally content 10 rest, feeling that
after all there is little compensation in this
life for the anxiety and pain which accom-
panies it. They are ready to go whenever
the finger OF time points to Tho

struggle. To the young, II is diff
ferenl. Hope inspires them and dreams of
success and rewards lure them on. These
two great governing principles are essential
TO progress and development and to con-
tentment with the result. Like all the
laws governing the universe, they ere tor
