INVALID DIVORCE DEGREES. u
Many People Lsft in Unhappy Piights-
Depew-Jordan Case.

The decision of the supreme court
In knocking sky high the territorial
probate divorce courts is still The
chief topic OF conversation. Conster-
nation reigns in good many families
on account of the annulment For
months people have been trooping
into oklahoma and securing divorces.
Some of these have remarked and the
law says their children are illegiti-
mate The whole matter, it is believed,
will lead TO new divorce laws for Ok
lahoma. The time limit for residence
here will be extended, there is little
doubt How many invalid divorce de-
crees there have been obtained can
only be conjecturcd. The number in
Logan county reaches upward of
nucty and the twenty-one other
counties will bring the list to up
wards of 1000 instances where the
divorce has proyen failure. One Of
the persons OF prominence to tie left
in peculiar fix by the decision Of the
supreme court is William A. Depew of
Boston, Mass, cousin Of Chauncey
Depew. Mr.. Depew came here last
winter and after three months stay
Sc, urei divorce from Roselle $
Depew on the ground Of incompati-
bility Of temper. With him came
Mrs. Mary u. Jordan, Of Boston, who,
on the same day as Mr.. Depew's di-
vorce, secured one from Charles IL.
Jordan of Boston. The day following
the two left for Kansas City, where
they were married, and then went to
Europe on a wedding tour. Both are
wealthy and prominent society people
Of Boston and are now left in pecul.

TURNING OVER MUSIC.
A London Invention That Is Said to BE
Real Agony Preventer.


A London Invention That Is Said to he
Real Agony Preventer.
Every one who has sung q song or
played piece before friends knows
the agony of mind engendered over
what ought to be the simple operation
of turning over"-the doubt, hesi-
tation and pain" TO press Browning
into service, which too commonly ac-
company this proceeding on the part
alike of the player and of the unfor-
tunate individual, hardly less to be
pitied, who has kindly volunteered to
oblige at the appointed moments.
What social tragedies are still TO be
written on this topic!--what stories of
pages turned over many bars before
the bottom of the page, of pages not
turned over until long after the bot
tom Of the page has been reached, Of
half dozen pages turned over in
place of one, of the entire music being
turned over bodily into the perform
ers lap--all of these things and more
one has seen. Now a London inventor
has come to the rescue with what he
calls music chip" and these woes
need be no more. 1t is an ingenious
but simple little contrivance, the
main virtue Of it residing in the fact
that IL keeps all the leaves of the mu-
sic apart, so that the finger may be
readily inserted.

Necessary that the New Buildings Should
He Completed.
The school bond election takes place
today. The proposition is well under
stood by all readers of this paper and
it is necessary to vote the bonds. The
school board desires $1,000 of 6 per
cent 90 year bonds, in order TO finish
the buildings. The contractor Mr..
Vandenburg, must be paid in money,
and cash must be forthcoming before
the buildings are completed II the
bonds fail to carry, the contractor
will be obliged to take warrants at
discount, and the salaries of young
lady teachers will be held back sew
eral months in consequence 1t is
therefore important that the bonds
carry The school board waded into
deep water but their action should
not delay work on the buildings, so
vote the bonds.

Faneull HAN in Peril From Fire.

Edward Atkinson has been arousing
the people of Boston TO the exposure
of their beloved Faneul hall TO the
peril of destruction by fire. The
cellar and lower story are occupied by
a meat market. The floors have been
soaked with grease, and this, mixed
with the sawdust with which they are
strewn, furnishes n combustible ma
terial which would carry flames SO
fast that fire, once started, could not
be checked before the historic struc-
ture was in ruins Stores of lard and
tallow would feed the flames, and as
IL this were not enough the repairs Of
the ceilings and partitions have been
made with pine, the ceilings being
vanished.

Editor Of THE TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR-I was pleased to see in your
issue OF this morning. under the heading,
News of North End" attention called 10
q matter that has become standing dis
grace to our once quiet and well.behaved
community, and source Of shame and
anxiety TO the many good people Of Provi-
dence, Fifty .one arrests in July is Ger.
tainly a record Of shame that should arouse
all decent psople to act at once and apply
the remedy III we have any that will close
these "holes IN the walr effectively and
confne the saloons III we must have them
to the exact limits of the law. When edi-
tors Of what are called secular papers, es-
pecally such papers as have great inf1u-
ence, take hold OF this matter there
is some hope for our country. That
this accursed thing has been going on for
some time and these dens of vice have be-
come quite open and defiant is fact well
known, aud 1t is time something was done
for their suppression aud the enforcement
OF law and order. The discomfort with the
existing state Of things is growing
every day. The mutiering Of the thunder
is heard in the distance. The storm will
soon burst. The people will not endure
this intolerant rum curse forever. You
have our hearty support and cooperation
in thiA good work. Every true minister Of
Christ-aye, every true Christian will
stand by you in an effort to purge this
otherwise sxcsllent community from this
shameful record, and drive out class that
no hberty-loving, -eherisning, God
fearing, purity. promoting, law.abiding
citizen can regard with respect.
