there are no indications that a war in rates

Defective Alimony Desrees.

The following dispatch to the st.
Louis Republic will be of interest to
those who may be about to bring pc
titions for divorce and those against
whom, or whoseiclients, alimony6udg.
ments have been obtained.
"New York, Sept. TN Missouri ali.
mony is not uncommonly decreed upon q
complaint which alleges some statutory
cause for divorce and then prays alimony.
Certain decisions have recently, together,
led to this important and far reaching con-
clusion:
A decree of alimony, rendered at the ter
mination of suit for divorce, In which
there are allegations of cause for divorce,
but no additional allegations of cause for
that alimony; in which there is only a
prayer for alimouy without correspondent q
s'legs;ions Of the facts which, if proved,
entitle the woman to the specific decree
for a'imony rendered-is void.
Such decree for alimopy is void be-
cause it deprives the defendant of his prop
erty either without a statute authorizing o
depri walton in that way, or under cover of
q statute which is unconstitutional, as d.
vesting him of his property without "due
process of law"
In suit to determine the status of two
persons (divorce) q court hiss no jurisdic-
ton to decree any amount of property from
one to tht other (alimony) without one al
legation bringing that property into liIiga-
ton. A decree flor alimony) under such
with these sntecedents, is
void and may be impesched collaterally as
having no legal foundation. This point
was recently so adjudged by court in an
case, the decisions that led to

Write To Mother.

The following touching lines appeal
to every reader of THE NEWS. They
were written by q mother SO years
old TO son who had neglected to
write to her for a few weeks:
Don't 60 10 your neighbors, the club or the hall
But stay In your room tonight:
Deny yourself 10 the friends that call,
And good, long letter write
Write 10 the sad, old mother at home,
Who sits when the day IL done,
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And thinks OF her absent son.
Don't carelessly scribble excuse my haste,
I've nothing OF interest 10 write"
Lest her brooding thoughts go wandering back
10 many bygone night,
When she lost her needed sleep and rest,
And every breath was prayer
That God would spare her darling boy,
The child OF her love and care.
Don't let her feel that you've no more need
Of her love or counsel wise,
For the heart grows strangely sensitive,
when age has dimmed the eyes:
II might be well 10 let her believe,
You never forget her quite:
That you deem II pleasure when far away,
Long letters home 20 write.
Don't think that bright and sparkling friends,
Who make your evenings gay,
Have half the anxious thought for you,
That your mother has to-day.
The duty Of writing do not put oE,
Let sleep or pleasure wait
Lest the letter for which she looked and lonRec
BE q day or an hour too late.
