CAUSES FOR DIVORCES.
Commissioner Wright Makes De-
tailed Report to Congress.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 20.-Car-
roll d. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, has
submitted to Congress his special report on
the statistics Of the laws relating to mar
riage and divorce in the United States
from 1867 to 1886 inclusive
The statistics Of marriage in this report
cover only g per cent of all counties Ia
the country. The reason of this incom-
pleteness is that the counties not reported
have no record of the marriages that have
taken place there. The statistics relating
to divorces, however, are very complete,
and cover over e6 per cent Of the counties
in the country and more than Is per cent
of the population. The whole number Of
divorces granted in the United States is
given by years as follows; In 1867, 1887;
1865, 10, $50; 1869, 1889; 1870, lo,s6a; 1871,
1855; 1872, Is, $50; 1873 1S, 1856; 1874, 1889
1873, l4.al2: 1876, 1850; 1877, 15,6sI; 1873,

lSSa, ., eli; 1883, 2S, los: 1884, 2a,9i9; 1885
23,412: 1856, 25,5S5. The total for the
twenty years is Sas, T16. The report .shows
that in but five states and the District of
Columbia can the number of marriages be
WIN piaSliNstl LIN
five states are Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont. The
number of marriages celebrated in each
during the past twenty years covered by
the report so far rs returned, is as follows: {:
Connecticut, %, '37; District of Columbia
34,O65; Massachusetts, ,Sos, 1876 Ohio, ,5i4 ,5S2 /;
Rhode Island, 49,S9S, and Vermont 54,9i3,
The statistics OF marriages are fairly per-
sact in several other states, although but
twenty two states have state registration
laws in force. During the last five years
of the twenty years, the states of Connect
cut, Maine and Vermont arc the only ones
showing n decrease in their divorce move
ment. Dakota shows the largest increase
during the last five years. OF the S2S,5l6
divorces granted in the United States for
the past twenty years covered by the re
port, ald, 1sS, or Is per cent of the whole,

wives are the petitioners moro largely than

plea. The cause for which the greatest
number of divorces werc granted is of de-
sertion, being III, ,ss7, or rs per cent of the
whole number. The commissioner says it

business, offered more liberal conditions,
and gradually the merchant acquired, as
his recognized right, the power of using
a cipher code. Still, most of the original
petty retrictions were adopted by all
competitors. Among these were the reg
ulations against proper names. AS a
matter of fact, in the present state Of
competition. one is toierably safe in using
proper names and ciphers, for each COM
pany is afraid of driving custom to a
rival by applying the rule. Consequently
there are any number of small personal
or temporary codes agreed upon between
man and man to serve a certain imme-
diate purpose, in which names of towns
or persons figure as ciphers But we
professional code makers, who compile
and print expensive codes for sale to the
public, carefully avoid infringing even
dead letter rules. because we do not
know when some big cable company
may swallow up a smaller competitor
whom one of our patrons patronizes and
screw down the thumbs on some rule, to
the disadvantage of our patron and our
selves.
Looking over this catalogue here of
the cable lines of the world, you will
still find a dozen or more companies,
chiefly located in the ends of Asia, AZ
rica and Polynesia, who boldly adver-
tise, No ciphers permitted. That means
that they have a monopoly of their par
ticular fields and are working their dia-
mond mines for all they're worth. In
no line of business is the advantage of
good competition shown more strongly
than i'll cabling. Merchants who deal
with far off countries will tell you that
those lands which are reached by only
one cable line are as yet practically un-
discovered by trade. New York Sun.

The True Meaning of Easter.

While to those of the world worldly
Lent means season of retirement for
purposes of spring dress making, and
Easter the fit occasion chiefly for new
bonnet, and to others the time for GER

formance Of certain church music. yet to
the spirit in accord with the spirit of the
universe the coming of Easter means all
that the coming of the sun does to the
earth herself 1t is recreation, new
life or lease of life, freshening of all
the powers either of the senses or the
soul. But to the devout the Easter sea-
son has mightier message yet it is to
them like the word of God spoken to the

message of the resurrection. but the mes

Her Moral Character.

Some amusing incidents happen at the
civil service examinations which the laws
now require to be passed by candidates
for official positions and clerkships It
was at an examination here in Boston
that a young woman found herself con-
fronted with the question:
care you of good moral character?"
She was very much amused at the
question and in doubt how to treat it.
Calling the examiner to her desk she said
about the question:
II have the reputation of being Of
good moral character. But you know
reputation is what people think of us.
while character is what God and the
angels know of us. and that don't want
to tell.
The examiner said she need not worry.

European Gossip.

NEW YORK. Aug. IL. - A London
cable to the Times says: The Gar is
going to Berlin after all, arriving a few
days after the Emperor of Austria has de-
parted. Each of these great mouarchs will
be accompanied by their heir apparent and
by responsible ministers as well.
Their failure to raise Joint meeting at
Berlin indicates that Europe's fever sore
is still open, but the fact that the Gar
visits Berlin at all is enough to strengthen
every bourse on the continent
1t seems tolerably clear now that there
is to be no war this year. The historically
troublesome island of Crete continues to be
the solitary point of genuine anxiety.
Once or twice during the week it has
seemed probable that armed Intervention
of the powers must ensue, and the situa-
tion is still one which may easily set Eur
ope by the ears.
Just now the matter is involved in a
rather perpleSiug diplomatic fog. Greece
has asked the powers to intervene and
England has joined the triple alliance in
refusing 10 admit that there was any
ground for such action. This is taken to
mean that Russia and France are egging
Greece on, and if it be true that these two
latter powers have succeeded in urging
Greece to their side the eastern question
will become more dangerous than ever.
There is no apprehension of an imme-
diate crisis, however All these semi-ori-
entail people have an indefinite capacity
for making their rows stretch out over
lapses of time, and so Western Europe
feels free to so yachting and shooting with
light hearts.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. l3.-As II
possible solution OF the problem of utilis

this could be successfully accomplished all
twine required by tho agricultural inter
csts of tho State could be supplied at u
moderate cost and thus emancipato the
farmers from tho clutches Of twinc eombi-
nations and trusts.
Tho committee has reported adversely to
tho proposal. The reasons on which tho
report is founded arc that the cost OF u
plant md material for one year sufficient
to keep 10 men employed would amount to
81 ,oi5, 600 II is pointed out that the cost
Of binding twine to tho manufacturer is
from II to 10 cents per pound, of which not
