THE DIVORCE QUESTION


 Professor Simeon E. Baldwin of this city is one of those who talk about the divorce question in this weeks 1ndepen- dent. He deals with branch of the sub ject to which comparatively little attention has been paid. He says that uniformity as to the causes of divorce is hardly to be hoped for in the United States, but that there is no reason why there should not be unifor- mity everywhere in the main conditions of divorce jurisdiction. In other words, it should not be possible for person legally divorced in one State to be not divorced in another As an illustration of the trouble caused by the present condition of things Professor Baldwin cites the case of an Englishman who came to this country a few years ago, leaving his wife behind him, and settling in Kansas. year after his removal to that State he applied for divorce, notice was given to his wife by publication, as the law of that State requires, and though she had no actual knowledge of the suit and there fore could not appear to defend herself, the mans petition was granted and he married again. When his first wife learned of the occurrence she applied for a divorce in England on the ground of his adultery with the other woman, and the highest English court granted her plea. holding that the Kansas marriage was null because the mans actual domicil was in England, though he had made his residence in Kan sas.
 Such performances should not be possi- ble. Perhaps little can be done by law to prevent divorces, but arrangements can be made so that they will be good everywhere after they have been granted.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

A man isn't always the same man after election as he was before. It is not i'm possible that Jerry Simpson may wear stockings in Washington. Senator Koontz of Hayes county, Nebraska, is a member of the Farmers alliance. He was elected as an alliance candidate on the alliance platform. He has made speech in Oma- ha which shows that if he was expected by those who elected him to make an idiot of himself he isn't going to accommodate them. In his speech he said he was for protecting the farmer in his rights, but he was for protecting the railroads, the banks, all classes and all interests, in their rights, too. He was not for doing injustice, nor yet for attempting the impossible. "We cannot make every man in this country equally prosperous or rich," he said. ''Why, if I were to give all you men an equal sum of money apiece tonight, by n week from tonight one-third of the men would have two-thirds of the money. You can't make men different by passing laws. All you can do is to give every man equality before the law" He continued: Why, what nonsense it is to pretend that labor can be made prosperous by putting the knife into banks and bankers. Did you know that 90 per cent. of all the farmers in this part of the state are in debt for their homes: Did you know that if you have farm worth $1, 500, mortgaged for $500, and if we pass radi- cal usury laws or stay laws to wound capital, capital will strike back at you; What thens Then the man who holds your mortgage will foreclose it and you and your wife and children will be fugi- tives on the face of the earth. I tell you, men, I used to have those wild ideas, but have been down to Lincoln and met business men and learned sense. I tell you won't vote for such measures unless you tell me to, and then I will vote for them under protest.
 This is hopeful sign of the times. If the alliance can't get men to attempt to | carry out it's wild ideas it will soon meet | the fate which it seems to merit.

 Mrs Meinders, wife of the captain of the sailing ship Johanna, is praised as a heroine in Germany. On the third day of last April the Johanna left Port Louis for the Island of Mauritius. Two days later yellow fever developed on board the boat. One man after the other succumbed to the disease until finally only the pilot and captain remained well. Soon, however, the captain was confined to his bed with the terrible disease, and Mrs. Meinders, in consequence, took command of the vessel She divided her time between the sick beds and the wheel, which she guided with enviable skill. Heavy storms added to the difficulty of her unexpected task. They waged so fercely, in fact, that the brave woman was obliged, with the aid of the pilot, to throw 250 sacks of sugar into the sea in order to tighten the ballast. The sails, too, were torn into shreds. At last, damaged and worn, the good ship arrived at Freemantle, South Australia. Mrs. Meinders was completely exhausted from loss of sleep. She recovered soon, how ever, and found her husband restored to health She had saved his life and that of the sailors.

MIR. DILLON,S THRILLING RIDE Down the Icy Tunnel. Clinging 10 a
 Small Cake of Ice.

From the Springfield Republican,
 Selectmsn M J. Dillon of Palmer had a narrow escape from drowning yesterday morning in the river below Hastings bridge, and between 10 and II o'clock he balanced between life and death on a slim cake of ice, clinging desperately to some slender bushes in mid-stream, while on the bank had gathered crowd of 200 or more, principally employees of the wire mill. MT. Dillon would without doubt have lost his life had there not passed just at that time James Raiche and Thomas Whalen, linemen of the Postal Telegraph and Cable company. MT. Dillon was very much exhausted after his trying experience, but he suffered no such injury as John Desmond, who in running to get the select man dry clothing, fell and broke his collar bone.
 The Quaboag river had been on the ram page for several days, having spread over the meadows for miles around, and having | over-howed the road adjoining Hastings Bridge for depth of seven feet. More over the ice jam at the bridge became so serious that it was question if the bridge would net be washed away. It was in an effort to protect the town property that MT. Dillon got caught in the perdicament. He walked out yesterday morning, axe in hand, on the firm ice below the bridge and chopped for q time to make 6 clear channel for the stream While with his back to the open water he was chopping, he felt the ice loosen and almost before he knew it hi, impromtu raft had swerved of into ths current. Besides the dark water al around, the cake on which Dillon fioated proved rotten and leaky, so when he ap preached a firmer cake he gave 8 mighty leap and luckily landed all right. Ther his new raft fioated down for a distance o seventy rods from the bridge, and a last the selectman was enabled to ancho by catching hold of tree at q distance O seventy-five feet from the shore. Although the buzz of the wire mill could be plainl, heard, and he could see men passing il and out, they did not hear his franti shouts.
 Just then Linemen Ratche and Whalen out fixing the telegraph wires, happened
