She Was too Vivacious.

Philip Scheyer, wealthy cloak man.
ufacturer, is accused by his young wife
of having offered her $4,000 if she
would get divorce.
Scheyer is fifty years old. His wife
is twenty-five and pretty. She is stay
ing with her uncle at No. 564 Eexing-
ton avenue. Scheyer is at his home,
No. 1,SS7 Madison avenue.
After short courtship the couple
were married on February 16 last by
Rabbi Schwab at the home of the brides
uncle. Scheyer was widow with five
children, one of whom is married. The
others live with him.
The wife declares that she was star
tied shortly after her marriage when
her husband suddenly announced that
they must part. Although she begged
MIN for an explanation he would give
none until the next day, when he told
her she laughed and talked too much.
This seemed so ridiculous Mrs.
Scheycr concluded her husband was
joking, but two days later he renewed
the subject with great earnestness and
at this time, she says offered her the
sum mentioned if she would get di-
vorce, adding:
You can marry again. Plenty Of
young men would be attracted by your
beauty"
According to Mrs. Scheyer her hus-
band came home on March 16 with a
Mr.. Goodman, one of his clerks, who
had been instructed to tell the woman
to 90 away. Mrs. Scheyer asked her
husband if he were not man and
capable of attending to his own affairs.
Il am not man." was his answer,
according to the wife. She then asked
her husband what fault she had COM
mitted. His reply was that the fault
was all on his side.
Mrs. Scheyer then went to her uncle's
home, where she has remained. She
consulted Congressman Fitch, who
brought proceedings in the Harlem
Police Court yesterday afternoon to
compel Scheyer to support his wife.
The woman was in court dressed in
rich costume of black.
The husband was present with Law
yers Howitz and Munzinger, who had
the case adjourned until next Tuesday.
Mrs. Schcyer says her husband is
worth 500, ,000.-N. Y. Herald.

our oountry-slnguIar or Plurai

Our Country-Singular or PluralH
There is comment OF q recent deci-
aien by Mr.. Justice Field in which he
reprovcd a district attorney for using
the United States in the singular num-
Der, that ia to say, using it with q verb
In the singular number. The decision
quotes the constitution, in which the
title United States ia used in the plural.
We have not seen this decision but take
It for granted that the facts arc correct
ly stated.
IT Is true that in the constitution the
natne United States is used in the
plural. Our impression is that this
was long the general custom and it has
by no means passed away. Some OF
the best speakers and writer's use one
form, some the other. General Fran
els A. Walker, Nj. Porter's predeces-
sop as superintendent OF the census and
now president OF the Massachusetts, In
stitute OF Technology, in his article in
the Encyclopedia Britannica, says "the
United States Is, as has boon seen,
divided" &c.
WebSter's dictionary defines 'united'
to mean combined, joined, made one"
In Webster's pronouucing gazetteer VIC
have, Omitted States OF America, the
federal republic Of forty.four states,
ak territories and the District OF Col
umbia."
Tho idea OF unity, OF oneness, runs
through it all us it runs through the
whole national system. Nobody thinks
of speaking OF the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland as they,
although the title stands for the union
Of England, Ireland and Scotland.
The title United States stands for and
suggestu the national union, including
the territories and the District OF Co.
lumbia as we'll as the forty.four states.
AS tho Chicago Tribune, quoting a rule
Of grammar, says, sit is a noun of null
titude, conveying singularity OF idea.''
1t is therefore good grammar to use the
singular verb to express the singular
idea. It is certainly good politics to
use that form which Expresses tho po-
litical fact of unity, oneness
The United States OF America is a ma
tion, not a bundle Of nations. So the
world regards US, so we have a right &c
regard ourselves. II there ever was any
doubt about it the "singularity of idoa,'
the unity OF the nation has been estab.
lished beyond cavil within tho rccollec'
ton Of this generation.
In the plural form there is weakn ess
in the singular a massive strength tc
make Americans proud OF their country
and to command the worlds respect,

The New Jail.

In short, tho now Jail Of Ohio county,
which makes a good appearance, and
cost about 100000, is a failure, To
mako it a real place OF detention, where
the evil.disposed will have to remain
against their strong natural desire to
get out many changes, involving the
expenditure OF additional money, will
have to be made.
1t is pretty early in the history Of the
now jail to have to patch it up, to rem
edy Its greatest defects, to make it
hold. Tho old Jail had become
foul by long use and was inadequate to
tho wants OF a growing community, but
when u prisoner entered there the
jailer had him well in hand until the
law was ready to make some other dis
position OF him.
For the real purposes of a jail the old
was much better than the new. There
has been some fine laundering, and the
county must stand the cost.

GERMAN ARNlY Bill DEFEAT.
A stop Forward

otNF
Philadelphia Press
Tho reichstas opened a new era in
Germany yesterday. Miiitarism has
had its first notable check. Defeat has
come for the first time to the powerful
administrative machine which has SO
long ruled Prussia and Germany. The
kaiser and Caprivi have met such per
aonal defeat as has not before befallen a
German emperor and his chancellor.
and which no Prusslan king has faced
in thirty years. The two months which
must pass before an election and the
three within which a new reichstag
must meet will be big with fate; but,
whatever the birth, Germany has taken
a great step forward along the path
which leads to liberty and civil free
dom.
