DIVORCES IN ENGLAND.
4 Parliamentary Report Showing Some In

4 Parliamentary Report Showing Some 1I.-
teresting Facts just Out.
It is pretty well understood in this
country that the people OF England
don't go in much for divorces and judi
cial separations between man and wife,
but lust how small the number Of such
suits is perhaps is not known here. The
house of commons has recently had y
report made showing the doings OF the
English divorce court an6 the number
and character of the cases tried there.
In six years 2, 200 suits for divorce
were tried. About 1 800 Of these suits
were instituted by the husbands, and
only about 900 by the wives a wife
has to prove cruelty as we'll as other
offenses in order to get Il divorce.
The women were ahead in the mum
Der of suits instituted for judicial sepa-
ration They began in six years Isl such
suits while only 4S We're begun by the
men. In 121 cases collision was sus-
pected, and the queens proctor inter
vened, and rs of these cases were
thrown ont of court. Few Of the Other
cases failed.
Our own statistics regarding mar
1iaees and divorce are just tabulated.
With all the facilities for getting rid OF
husband OF wife in divorce made easy
courts, there have been found i'll tho
whole country only One-ffth of 1 pei
cent of the persons who have been mar
ried who have also been divorced. One
person in 500 means one couple i'll 1,O0t
that get divorced
There are II, 895 divorced women IL
the United States. There are not Sc
many divorced men by n great many
but, then, divorced men and widower
are very apt to marry, and the figure
prove that they probably do, for there
are not so many widowers i'll the coun
try as widows. New York Times

A USEFUL MACHINE.

1t Counts Two Thousand silver Dollars n
Minute In the PhiIadelphia Mint.
The feat of counting 1000 silver dol
lars per minute is now being performed
at the mint by a little machine invent
ed by Sebastian Heines, the chief car
penter of the institution, and by its aid
the work of counting the coin and
weighing the silver bars can, 1t Is
Thought, be completed by the middle OF
July. The slow progress made i'll count
ing by hand led Mr.. Heines to expert
ment, with the result, after the expend-
iture of much thought and time, o.
turning out very successful machine.
Mr.. Morgan of Mint Director Pres
ton S Office was greatly interested in the
experiments, and upon witnessing the
final successful test of the invention he
granted permission for its use in count
ing the great mass of silver dollars. The
machine was put into regular operation
Yesterday, and when worked to its linn
it was easily able to dispose of two bags
of coins containing 50, 900 i'll u minute.
The machine consists of hopper, into
which the coins are dropped. n cog
wheel, the teeth OF which resemble those
of % circular saw, carries the coins to
tubes, and from there they are forced
ont upon little table containing 20
grooves, each of which holds just oO
coins. A turn of the crank counts LOCO
coins, which are Immediately put into
n bag, and second thousand follows
before the expiration of the minute -

RAIL ROB8ERIES IN ITALY.
a Revival Of the OutraGes Which Were
Suppressed Three Years Ago.

A Revival Of the OutraGes Which Were
Suppressed Three Years Ago.
Three years ago the Italian govern
ment, yielding to urgent Representations"
from nearly every country i'll Europe,
made q vigorous effort to stop the sys-
tematic robberies on railroads, which had
attained the dimensions of q national
scandal. The depredations were traced
to an organized gang composed mainly
of railroad servants well equipped with
false keys of every known pattern. The
robbers We're duly tried and sentenced.
For couple of years after that travellers
were able to move about Italy with no
more than normal risks, but last autumn
the systematic thefts of baggage in tran
sit recommended and have now reach
ed q scale equal to that OF 1901.
The members of the new gang are
carrying on their operations i'll the most
impudent manner. Trunks are opened
en- route, rifled of their more valuable
contents and carefully relOcked. Occa-
sionally they are taken out OF the cars
at intermediate stations i'll order thaS
they may be examined at greater leisure
by the confederates. Until recently the
thieves had kept their felonious hands
off the mails, but they are now stealing
registered letters by wholesale. and this
daring development will probably prove
TO be their undoing, for complaints are
pouring into Rome from foreign post
offices, and the government is bound &c
take effective action. Rome Letter

AN INCH OR so OF LAND.
A House Pared Down to Prevent 1t PROM
EncroaciIing on Lot.


Encroaching on Lot.
The Elba apartment house, owned by
Fl. and Fl. E. Law, is four stories in
height and occupies 30 feet front on
Van Ness avenue. After standing in its
place two years it was discovered
short time ago that it was fraction OF
an inch on the land of Thomas B. Ev-
ans, adjoining. Mr.. Evans had sur
veyor go carefully over the ground, and
be reported that the front lire of the
house, on Van Ness avenue, was three
quarters Of an inch on the Evans prop
erty, and the encroachment increased
to five-eighths Of an inch at the rear
line, so feet back.
Mr.. Evans notified the Messrs. Law,
and they sent for the man who built the
house, and he went all over the ground
with another surveyor. The Laws Of
fered TO pay 500 for the inch or the
fraction of it. But Evans had sent his
engineer to the top of the building, and
he dropped plumb line and declared
that the fire wall extended y inches at
the top over the line at the bottom. Ev-
ans added that to the three-quarters OF
an inch at the ground line and declared
that, taken up and down ana BACK,
there was an encroachment Of over 4
inches.
Then the Laws said that they would
pay 500 an inch for all encroachment
that could be demonstrated. The esti-
mated value of lots Whereabouts is said
to be $500 a front foot, and 800 an
inch the Laws held to be a very good fig
ure But Evans said he would take
$3.50 and nothing less. This the Laws
would not give. Through the contract

| tions, they said, 'Mr. Evans, if we are
| on your property, we will get off. y
And the next day ladders were swung

Senator Murphy Swears OF.

Senator Murphy, who has been an
inveterate smoker for many years, has
"sworn off, for awhile and has not
lighted acigar for several days. During
the protracted sessions of the senate last
fall, when the silver repeal bill was un-
der consideration, Mr.. Murphy smoked
as many as 81 cigars in one day. This
of course was above the average, but the
number consumed by him daily was
very large, as he often smoked five or
six in rapid succession. a short time
ago Senator Vest related i'll the cloak
room his experience with tobacco, which
came near endangering his life, and rec
ognizing some of Mr.. Vests symptoms
as similar to his own Mr.. Murphy de-
cided to call u halt. Now he only fon-
dies a cigar; he does not smoke it

GreeDhaIge on Horseback.

We must congratulate Governor
Greenhalge Of Massachusetts upon his
skill as hOrseman. At the muster at
birmingham last Friday he rode his
gifted sorrel steed SaltatOr at full speed
past % military bands without losin
his hat. Saltator is by Kangaroo, out OF
Hops, and makes no use Of the foreleSs
save TO gesticulate. Whenever Saltator
hears music, he jumps rapidly back
ward, using the hind legs as oars and
the tail as rudder. When he is going
anywhere. he has to be taken backward.
To ride him is difficult feat, and Mr..
Greerhalge is no oilcloth knight, or h
couldn't have accomplished it. Mount
ed upon the sorrel, the governor Is in
deed the ideal equestrian statue.

A WHOLESOME DECISION.
A Telephone Company Has to Pay Roundiy
For Damaging Trees.

For Damaging Trees
The newspapers lately contained an
account of lawsuit which has interest
for every one who believes that the
owner of tree has right to complain
when it is recklessly mutilated. The
employees of a telephone company were
stretching wires along the road which
skirts the property of Mr.. George w.
Hawkins, near Newburg, and i'll doing
GO they disfgured half a dozen spruce
trees. which had been planted by his
father, By cutting off the branches. NO
consent to this mutilation had been Civ
en- by the owner Of the trees, and the
linernen, as usual, had used their saws
and axes without mercy.
Mr.. Hawkins sued the company for
$500, estimating the damage at 500
tree. The jury gave verdict for 5000.
Under the provisions of the code IN TINS
state Mr.. Hawkins lawyers then moved
that a triple Judgment be made, and
the court astounded the defendants by
granting this and increased the Judg-
ments 60 81, 500. 1t is to be hoped that
the higher courts will confirm this judg-
ment and hold that a growing tree has
a value beyond the mere amount OF tim
ber it contains, and that the owner has
right TO watch it's growth and ENJOY
it's beauty and to derive pleasure from
it's associations. The courts should take
into account that q tree cannot be re-
placed in many years, and the wanton
destruction of such property ought to
call for exemplary damages. Ever since
the country was settled we have been
learning how to cut down trees, but 1t
is high time that we learn the real
value of those which have escaped and
stand where they can delight us by
their beauty and refresh us with thei1
shade.
The decision of this Orange county
Judge is a wholesome one, and such de
cisions are needed to teach the Inemer
of telephone and telegraph companies
lesson which will make them more eau
tious about invading private rights. -

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption of a light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost OF reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. a third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on a basis of rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost OF
oil for the same amount of illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:
Stores and offices per 16 C. p. light per
month $1.O0
Residences per Is C. p. light pei
month-to lights 90cts.
Residences per IS C. p. light per
month-excess of ) lights 60ctS.
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
