the poor that was devised by the Gin

About Divorce Laws.

II you think you will ever want di-
vorce from any cause whatever, do not
go to South Carolina to live. That is
theone state of the Union in which there
is absolutely no divorce allowed. The
only way in which married people there
can get apart is to run away from each
other and hide. In all the other states
divorce is allowed for Scriptural cause.
AS one goes west divorce laws become
more liberal. In forty-one of the forty
four states divorce is permitted for ex-
treme cruelty, and in thirty three states
for intemperance. In all but nine Of the
states term in the penitentiary will re-
lease the prisoners husband or wife from
the matrimonial chain, while in twenty
two states and territories gross neglect
will secure divorce if 1t is proved on
the husband or wife. The term meg
lect," too, is as elastic as peoples con-
science and can be stretched to cover
anything from abandonment outright to
failure to take wife to an evening
party.
Nebraska and the Dakotas are perhaps
more liberal in their divorce laws than
any other states in the time required for
residence before the suit is commenced.
A residence in Nebraska for six months
win entitle an applicant for divorce to
commence action, while in both the Da-
kotas the applicant need only reside
within the state ninety days For some
reason persons who wished to be united
have gravitated to Sioux Falls, S. D., in
large numbers, forming what is called
the divorce colony, thereby scandalizing
citizens of that promising young state
who do not believe in divorce.
In 1899 ninety divorces were granted
IN Sioux Falls. The applicants were
mostly women. The churches and the
ladies of the w. c. T. U. in South Da-
kota endeavored to have the divorce in
dustry stopped. at least to great extent
Powerful pressure was brought to bear
on the legislature to lengthen the term
Of residence to at least year.
The Sioux Falls lawyers, however, as
well as various other citizens, asked this
question, Why should the legislature, on
merely sentimental grounds, drive out
Of South Dakota and into North Dakota
and Nebraska q business which brings
to Sioux Falls over 100000 year? So
the legislature defeated the bill to
lengthen the term of residence to year.

Hayes had some distinguished men in
his cabinet during his term of the presi-
dency and was not jealous of them.
Among them were William M. Evarts,
secretary of state; Carl Schurz. secre-
tary of the interior, and John Sherman,
secretary Of the treasury. Carl Schurz
supports Mr. Cleveland now, but he was
. stanch Republican In 1875. John
Sherman distinguished himself by the
return to specie payments throughout
the country Jan. 1, 1879. Six months
before that date he had accumulated in
the United States treasury $40, 1000, 900
in the expectation that there would be a
demand for 1t in exchange for legal ten
der notes. But there was little or no
demand, and thus, quietly, without
shock or disturbance, United States
money passed from paper to specie
basis.

result2 To-day the business men and

pay IA per cent for exchange on any

STANTON RLuNpEREp.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-The peremp
tory removal yesterday OF Commodore
and acting Rear Admiral Stanton, sta
toned at Rio Janeiro, Brazil, from the
command Of the South Atlantic station
was one OF the most startling surprises
ever experienced in Washington ofici'
ally, and for time it has almost OBJ
scured the interest in the silver fight
President Cleveland took action, after
a long conference with the score
taries of state and the navy, and when
put in possession Of all the facts and
also Of such further information a.
Senior Mendonca, the Brazilian minis
term Washington was able to furnish
! The official order was briefly made
public by Secretary Herbert in the fol
lowing memorandum;
"The navy department learned by
authority late to-day by telegram from
Rear Admiral Stanton, In command Of
the United States naval forces At Ric
De Janeiro that this officer had saluted
the flag OF Admiral Mello, commanding
the insurgent feet. This salute wat
unauthorized by any instructions the
admiral had received. II was an un'
friendly act toward q friendly power,
and the secretary Of the navy, after
consulting with the president and the
secretary Of state issued an order de-
taching Admiral Stanton from com
mand of his squadron and turning II
over to Capt. Picking, the next Officer
in rank. This was In reply TO tele
gram Of inquiry"
In the early morning, state and navy
department officials were increduloui
as to the possibility Of there being any
truth In the report published in the
Berlin Norddeutsch Zeitung. Commo-
dore Stanton had been specially Sc
lected for this post Of duty because he
was considered to possess In a pre-emi
nent degree those qualifications oi
coolness and discretion which enabled
him TO deal with the revolutionary CON
ditions prevailing in the various coun
tries to which his assignment would
naturally call him.

The GRAND Trunk WRECK.

Testimony at the Inquest on tho victimA
Engineer Cranshaw's Statement Fully
Corroborated by Means OF Mimic Col
lision Showing How the Wreck Occurred.
M BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct. 25.-At
the inquest on the victims of Fridays
wreck yesterday, Rear Brakeman
Woodruff, of No. 0, testified that In the
two coaches telescoped and burned
there must have been over 100 people.
Every seat in the two coaches was oc-
cupied, most of them with two people.
An imitation OF the collision was
given at the scene Of the wreck last
night. The city lights were burning
as they were on the night Of the col
lision. The semaphores and switch
lights were in exactly the same condi.
ton, and coal cars and other portable
properties placed as they were then.
One engine crept up without rights as
did No. Q, and another dashed In as did
No. 0. .......... ...... DO
The jury was on this engine TO see
what 1t could see. Engineer Cranshaw,
of No. 0, assisted In the mimic wreck
and acted the same as he did on the
night of the accident. This object les
son was to enlighten the jury as to the
practical details of the accident.
The mimic collision showed that the
headlight Of engine on No. 8 train
could not be seen more than twenty
rods from the point Of collision and
fully oorroborated Engineer Gran
shaw's testimony. Five witnesses were
called In the inquest as to the cause OF
the deaths In the Grand Trunk wreck.
They were David L. jackson, George
w. Nicoll, Charles Woodruff, Edward
Kalies and GIL Cranshaw (recalled).
The evidence Of 7. jackson, baggage
man Of the wrecked train, shows that
the air brakes were applied immedi-
ately before the collision; that the
weight of the baggage car prevented 1t
from being smashed and that the third
coach telescoped the fourth. The tes-
timony OF the rear brakeman, Nicol,
corroborates that of the engineer as to
the decrease in the speed of the train
near the place of the accident Nicoll
testified that 1t did not exceed ten
miles an hour.
