Although statistics as to the number
of divorces that have been granted in
the United States since its history be-
gan are not easily Obtainable, data
gathered for a period of twenty years
is at hand, and is alarmingly interest
ing. During that length of time the
record shows the granting of 32S,7lG
divorces, of which l29,382 were OF
couples with children. 1t is also a
fact of general knowledge that unity
ing of the marriage knot is each year
becoming mor common. In view OF
these facts, is it not time that there
was uniformity of State laws in regard
to the s~evering OF marriage contracts:
As matters stand to-day. certain States
are seemingly wing with each other
in making divorces cheap and easy.
1t is a subject well worthy careful
study by each State legislature, with a
view to harmonizing in some manner
the existing incongruities III what
should be common law Oh civil con-
tracts.

The plan which seems most favored
for stopping the immigration of i'm
proper persons from foreign lands. is
the adoption of a system of inspection
and certification of immigrants by our
consuls abroad. The plan should be
worked out so that the consuls. in re-
ceiving pay for their services in this
matter. shall not be allowed a COM
pcnsatiOn based on the number of inn-
migrants; that would simply put a
premium on the admission of every
one who could possibly pass muster.

There is something of a change
among the members of the Farmers
Alliance in Kansas. One of the county
lecturers admits that the feeling
among county alliances is not nearly
so strong as it was a year ago when
they were fighting Ingalls,, while the
prospect of a good crop leaves the
farmers very little to grumble about.
The one per cent. money idea has
played out. so that just now it is hard
work to get up any interest, and that
will be easier when the campaign
opens."

The North German Gazette admits
that the new reciprocity policy of the
United States gives this country a
controlling advantage in commerce
with South America. 1t says that
German exporters will lose Il great
portion of their trade with those
countries. and suggests that they
should be looking for new markets in
some other quarter of the world.
Such testimony to the value of reel
procity is worth the serious attention
of the American people.

Obituary.

Died of typhoid fever, after an illness Of
four months, at his home near Travilah,
John Edwin Matthews, son OF VIM. and
Sarah Matthews.
The deceased was born near Poolesville,
this county, on March 20, 1859, and married
Annie Mossburg, May 26, 1881. He was
member of the NJ. E. Church South, having
ioi ned that church in 1885, and died trusting
in the Lord and without fear of death, only
regretting to leave his wife and little chill
dren. He was laid to rest in the Monocacy
Cemetery, at Beallsville, on June 13.
Finished, his work, he gently sank to rest,
In peaceful slumber on his Saviour's breast,
His race all run, his earthly warfare DER,
He Joined the loved ones on the further
shore.
There glory crowned the victor's palm he
bears,
And with the ransomed multitude he shares
The untold raptures of that Heavenly life,
Forever done with this worlds toll and
strife.
Rest, husband, rest we hope when life is
Through Gods rich grace to greet thee there
at last,
To join the blood washed throng around
the throne,
Where we shall know, even as we are
known.

A Boy Torn by a BulI.-The George.

A Boy Torn by a BulI.-The George
town correspondent of the Washington Star,
under the date of the 14th instant, says
"It is reported from Montgomery county that
Willie Maddox, the eleven-year-old son of
Farmer John S. Maddox, who resides about
three miles above the Chautauqua, while
picking berries in a field yesterday was at
tackled by fierce bull and horribly gored.
The boy was struck in the back first and
after being thrown down was several times
horned in the side, infiicting wounds from
which he will probably not recover This
animal has been the terror of the neighbor-
hood for years, and numerous complaints
have been made about him, but owing to
his breed Mr.. Maddox has refused to do away
with him. Last night after the probably
fatal goring the animal was slaughtered"

so rich literary treat as on July 14th, when
there was read by the President an essay

L. r. Milbourne, of Rockville. The topic,
"The Literary Future of the South" was
discussed with marked ability and breadth
of vision and depth of thought seldom found
in women of any age, and specially in one
so young. The cultured and critical were
profuse in praises, and the Club offered a
rising vote of thanks.

dress, and on August II the same service

Some More Facts and Figures.
Editor Sentinel: i:

Editor Sentinel.
In your issue of last week | had the pleas
ure of reading q communication from Mr..
John I. DeSelum, In which he called at
tention to the value of Seneca stone, and
mapped out route of railroad from the
quarries to the Metropolitan Branch.
His opinions on this subject have more
weight than those of any other citizen of
our county. He is justly considered as au-
thority in regard to the topogra ply OF Sen
eca creek and its tributaries.
AS the route suggested by Mr.. DeSellum
passes through lands which are only par
tially improved, the value OF the ground
taken would not be considered serious loss
to the owners. Indeed the road would ma
terially enhance its value. The owners rec
ognize this fact and have given hearty
consent to its passage.
The advantages of this short line being
conceded, and the right of way given, the
cost of construction and probabilities of
earnings over expenses are to be considered.
The almighty dollar has its claims which
cannot be ignored Capital is proverbiallY
timid, and some one has pithily said that
"nothing is more easily frightened than
million of dollars-unless 1t be two mil
lions"
This question of short line from Seneca
quarries was agitated two years ago, and
surveys were made, with estimates OF cost
and running expenses. The cost OF con-
struction at that time was given at 100000,
and direct offer was made that the running
expenses should not exceed $4,000 per an
mum. | have reason to believe these esti
mates were practically correct. If they are,
then the solution of the question, "Will the
road pay 7" can be intelligently considered.
The Seneca Stone Company guarantees
shipments Of 10000 tons per annum. L am
satisfied that not less than 100000 bushels
of grain would find market through this
channel. 1t is safe to estimate 1000 tons of
commercial fertilizers and lime needed on
this route, and not less than 5000 passen-
gers annually, The hay and incidenta
freight would be considerable item in es-
timatng gross receipts
Taking these figures as data, we have, for
gross receipts and expenditures, the follow
ing:
RECEIPTS:
10000 tons of stone, SOC per ton...".$ $1,000
100000 bush. of grain, 1c per bush... 1000

be applicable to payment OF the $50 900 con-
struction bonds.
In this article | have given you only the
financial side Of the question, which is the
one likely to be taken by parties who could
be induced to aid in constructing the road.
| Mr.. DeSellum has, very forcibly, presented
its advantages to our citizens in regard to
transportation of their produce and the gen
eral prosperity of the county. No one will
doubt his conclusions, and | can only hope
that the figures now presented will be ac-
cepted as "Jo1bG ,tfde, just and true, as therein
set forth" UPTON darcy.
