colored man named William McManus,
who is the possessor of what is known
in medicine as elephantine legs. The
right limb is two feet two and one.
quarter inches in circumference. the
other one being somewhat smaller. The
legs are similar in shape to those of the

"powNINan DIVORCES.
Interesting Statements Set Forth in
Minister'S sermon

y
"There is but one ground sufficient
for divorce and that Is laid down in the
Bible" argued Rev. Scott F. Hershey
In his sermon last night on divorce
It's Cause and Effect at the Sixth
Presbyterian Church. He said that
5000 divorces had been granted dur.
ing the past twenty years. There are
2,700 courts in this country engaged In
granting divorces. New York and
South Carolina are the only states
where divorces are not granted
The speaker regarded the Catholic
Church as sound and firm on divorce
laws, and said other denominations
could learn from it good and whole
some lesson. He added that this Dis.
trict had no laws and that Congress had
shown itself incompetent to make laws
for it. There is no community so com.
plctely left without decent legislation.

Speaker Reed, Pittsburgh address.
Theabove garbled extract from Speaker
