THE LAW OF DIVORCE,

There rs proposition before the
Episcopal Convention now in session
In Chicago which treats of the subjects
of marriage and divorce and which, II
accepted, will bring the Episcopal
Church very near to the degree OF
stringency in dealing with those sub
jects that is exercised by the Church
of Rome. The proposition comes be-
fore the convention id the form of a
proposed new canon, of which the Com.
mittee on Canons recommends the
adoption.
If the recommendation is carried out
there cannot thereafter be marriage be.
tween communicates OF the Episcopal
Church who are under eighteen years
of age unless the parents or guardians
be present or give their written con
sent. At least two witnesses knowing
the contracting parties must be present
at the ceremony. The only ground
upon which divorce, under the pro-
posed canon could be recognized would
be that of adultery, and the guilty
party could not marry until after the
death of the one from whom the di.
vorce was obtained. The re.marrlage
of divorced persons under certain other
circumstances is also forbidden and
penalties are to be imposed upon the
clergy for any non observance of the
strict letter of the'canon.
The evils Of divorce and the ease
with which divorces are obtained In
many States are notorious. The varl'
GUS religious denominations are per-
fectly consistent and justified in taking
hold of the matter themselves. In
fact, time has proven that certain re-

Large Amounts That Are Sometimes
Drawn For in business Operations.
Checks for large amouuts-say for $780,
eco to $500, ,0O0-are drawn very commonly
10y Chicago business men, says the MAJ Of
that city, and the cash paid on them at the
banks. Some of the larger banks, like the
First, the Union and the Commercial Ma
tioual and Corn Exchange, see checks of
this kind so frequently that they are
not considered unusual. Checks for
larger amounts-$l, 100000 and upward
also make their appearance at Chicago
banks, but they are almost always for trans
fcrs Of account or something of the kind,
and don't call for the actual handing out of
the money. When Field, Letter IL Co. paid
for the retail building, corner of State and
Washington streets some years ago, they
gave their check for between 100000 and
100000, and 1t was paid by the Merchants
Loan and Trust Company. In go
the Rock Island Railroad drew
its check on the Union National for nearly
$l,C00,000. That was when Mr.. Odell, the
vice-president and present manager of the
bank, was a book-keeper. Mr. Hipwell,
now assistant cashier, was once present
when check for So 800, 600 was drawn and
honored. Mr.. Cummings, the president of
the Union National, was in New York
bankers office when the check which Jay
Gould gave to ex-Congressman Allen for
his interest in Iron Mountain road came in

1t was honOred. When Mr.. Cummings and
his party were building the Nickel-Plate

and hair lines, will be used for pea. jacket
suits. Sometimes a leather belt will be
worn instead Of the cloth one, and the
trousers may be lined or not, as desired.
The polo cap is the rage with boys, and
is made Of all suitlng material. If the
clothes are made at home pattern can be
secured and the cap made at triling cost.
The pea jacket will be most popular
garment. 1t Is generally made very warm
and being short, does not interfere with
play, besides being extremely stylish. Chin
chiila cloth is often chosen for such oats.
All that is merry and glad In boys sports
is suggested by the Overcoat, which should
lie ample and protective without being over
weighty or inconyeuient in shape. Over.
coats fashioned in the slngle.breasted sack
style are much liked by young boys.

THE FRENCH people are naturally
demonstrative against Germany. On
all occasions they make it itmanifest that
they harbor a spirit of revenge against
that country and are possessed of de.
termination to recover the territory lost
by the Franco. Prussian war. France
is just now going through one of her
periodical spasms on the subject. In
Paris which is France, as far rs the
public sentiment of the country Is con
cerned, all talk is war talk. General
Boulangcr, despite his seeming de.
malls, Is hot for conflict and Is max.
ing preparations for It; and the whole
army is imbued with the same spirit.
The people taboo everything German,
and it would be as much as mans
life was worth to speak favorably Of
Germany in public place. A charac.
teristic evidence Of French feeling Is
the order Of the Minister of Commerce
directing the police to prosecute all
persons who sell boxes of toys imported
from Germany which contain u map Of
France with the province of Alsace
shown as a German province. Whether
France will ever regain her lost territory

conclusions on that point. She is Ger.
tainly not likely 10 "gct even" with
Germany while Prince Bismarck and
General Won Molikc live.
