The Need Of Better Divorce Laws.

Judge Altgeld OF Chicago recently added
to the unsavory reputation OF that city in
divorce matters by deciding to hear li-
vorce case in the privacy Of his chambers.
This, Il is claimed, Is direct violation of
section $. chapter 40, of the revised stat
utes of Illinois, which provide that divorce
cases must be heard In open court.
The presumption OF this small
Judge. who has thus dared to openly defy
and disregard the laws of his State has
been the subject of very general comment
aud condemnation. Many attempts have
been made In Chicago in years past to lead
the Chanccry Judges into similar
errors but heretofore they have failed.
Judge Altgeld Is the first to commit this
gross breach of public trust, and to under
take to establish this outrageous prece-
dent. without any clerk or baliff, por-
tions Of the court, he opened the door Of
his chamber, ushered in two lawyers and
two women. aud closed the door again.
In n very short time hearing had been
given In divorce case and divorce
decreed. No woader the public is indig-
nant,at this attempt to still further in
crease the facility with which the marriage
bonds may be severed. No one can doubt
for moment that with the privileges thus
accorded by an accommodating court d.
vore cases will increase with startling
rapidity. Publicity has always been the
greatest restraint In such cases. II has
prevented many woman from securing
= divorce simply because she was DESTROYS
Of marrying another man. Many man
has been shsmed by the knowledge that
the proceedings would be public from rid
ding himself Of a helpmste no longer as
pretty and attractive as she once was.
But Judge Altgeld's rule has altered 1t
all, and divorce cases may now be tried
In the privacy Of his chambers and the
world know nothing Of them.
The Publication Of the disgusting de.
tails Of divorce trials has been very prop
eriy objected to BY many people. There
10 no Necessity for Ii. The newspaper
has duty to perform however in stating
briefly he fact Of such divorces. Public
opinion is strong factor In human A.
faira II acts as powerful restraint On
many Of the fraiities OF individual ch.rse-
ter. "what will the world say.- h.s

cottages, and one of the most delightful
places TO be found in the State. The crowd
that meets the steamer at the wharf shows
that its summer population is already large
one. The popular Chase House has lis usual
large and pleasant party and the Farm
House is also well filed. Base
ball and tennis are well represented at the
Island, which has an excellent field for both.
Two fine beaches furnish abundant facility
for sea bathing, and fine yachs can be char
tered for sailing excursions at very reason
able rates. The affairs of the Island are
well managed by the association which con
trolls, and no element is permitted there
which would detra t from the good name it
has so well established. Augusta, Gardiner,
Lewiston and Auburn are well represented
hsre, with a good sprinkling from other
places in Maine and from outside the State.
