DIR. HUNTERS DIVORCE BILL.
1t viii Probably Pass the House of Com
mons, but Not the House of Lords.

LoSpoN, April ls.-Dr. Hunters bill
in the House of Commons to assimilate
the law of England to the law Of Scot
land on the subject of divorce, is gen
orally approved and Is likely to pass
the house. The bill provides that a
wife NAV obtain divorce on the
ground of her husbands ntidelity. and
that either husband or wife may OBJ
tain divorce after desertion for per-
iod of four years. This removes the
discrimination which has So long
existed whereby wife could not alb
tain a divorce FOR infdelity un ess ac-
companied by cruelty, and Il also gives
the deserted husband or wife chance
to he free. TIE struggle on the bill will
come in the House of Lords. where the
prelstes have their seats ss representa-
tIves Of the Church of England. which
grants divorce for but one cause.

The plcayune policy oil a would-bc
theatrical manager can do much to iu-
lurc the interests of even prominent
and popular actor. Now and then an
ltinerant manager OF a theatrical at
traction proceeds upon the mistaken
notion that 1t Is good policy to split
hairs with the local management of the
theaters visited, and haggle with the
press over trltles. Such men do not get
half the consideration from local man
ayers or the press that generous pol
lev would obtain for them, and their
pettiness IS remembered and detested,
10 their disadvantage, by all with
whom they may chance 10 have
business relations. Manager Abbey, or
his agents tried the picayune policy IN
the last tour of Mary Anderson. and
thereby succeeded in driving that great
actress into permanent retirement. and
almost INTO her grave, after sinking
many thousands of good dollars. Stuart
Robson. for instance, is popular COM
edIan; but he rs not so popular that the
picayune policy of management, If
systematically pursued, would not
break down or destroy his financial
success.-tirand Rapids Eagle.
The statements of the Eagle are true
in every particular. Theaters and the.
atrical managers are under far more
obligation TO the press tnan the press
ever is TO them. In the present instance
the local manager should have main

Saturday evening, as Reception Hall, where
the meetings are usually held. Is not availa-
BILE. owing to the Stanley lecture. The exec
utive COMMITTEES met in the Mayors Office
Saturday afternoon to consider matters per-
tanning to the annual report.
1t Is understood that in view Of the impos-
sibility Of procuring, In many instances, &C.
curate aud official information concerning
the names of deceased soldiers to be placed
upon the monument. where doubts exist as
to their being actual residents of Portland at
time of enlistment. or that they died while
In the service, and the fact that these limita-
tlons will prevent the names of many de-
serving soldiers whose death occurred soon
after discharge from causes originating dur
ing their military service, from being placed
upon the tablet, the committee will recon-
mend to the association the omission Of all
names from the monument and substituting
brief historical Inscription setting forth
the service and sacrifices Of Portland's sons
10 the war of the Rebellion.
Ii this suggestion meets with favor IL is
proposed to prepare a register to be deposit
ed In some public place, possibly the rooms
of the Maine Historical Society In this city,
which shall contain more complete record
of the deceased veterans than could be
placed upon the monument and which could
be enlarged to include the cases of all VINO
died from wounds or disease contracted In
service, so far as information can be OBJ
talued, with date of enlistment, regiment
aud company, with time and cause of death,
and corrected or amended from time to time
1t is believed that this course will remove
much dissatisfaction that will be manifested
IL doubtful names shall be omitted from or
inscribed upon the monument and will be
fair and just to all whom the monument is
intended to commemorate.
