On the Query els Marriage Failure2'
and Concludes &c Is Not.

On the Query sis Marriage Failure?"
and Concludes it Is Not.
Belva Lockwood tried last night in an
entertaining way at the M-street Metro
politan Church to answer the question,
"Is Marriage Failure?n She succeeded
in holding the attention Of large audi
ence for an hour or more.
She traced the history of marriage from
the earliest days and told of the early
methods of procuring wife by capture
and purchase. There were but few
divorces in the olden times and this, she
thought, was proof positive that marriage
then was not failure.
81 guess,n said Mrs. Lockwood, chat
old King Solomon when he said vanity
of vanities, all is vanity meant that
marriage was a failure; but then, you
know, he had three hundred wives and q
thousand concubines and suppose any
man of the period who was similarly sit
uated would think just about the same if
he were asked the question Is marriage a
failureP But the Lord only knows what
the men would say if woman would
have that many husbands
But Mrs. Lockwood spite of history,
could not help thinking that marriage
was not failure and she said 50.

ON THE REFORM OF CRIMINALS.


DIR. Fletcher, the Eminent Anthropolo-
gist, Gives His Views.
At the Columbian University last night
DIR. Robert Fletcher, president of the An
chronological Society, read an interesting
paper on "The New School of Criminal
.Anthropology.n DIR. Fletcher described
the treatment of the criminal classes both
in the past and present, and said that q
more perfect system of caring for crimi-
mails should be adopted in every State and
county. The speaker showed that in some
cases the reform of criminals was impos.
sible, not because they did not want to re-
form, but because they could not. If a
man wished to be thief he would be a
thief regardless of the influence brought
to bear.
The audience were thoroughly interested
in the paper, and at its conclusion many
congratulations were received by DIR.
