Father Richie ON Divorce.

1t Is not surprising that Father RITCHIE of
st. I~gnatius's Church takes the ground that
people who get divorces and marry again are
adulterers, who ought to be punished with
exclusion from the communion of the
Church. He is Al extreme Episcopalian
~ritualist, or Anglo-C Catholic, and he agrees
with the Roman Catholics in teaching that
marriage is a sacrament, and hence dissolu-
BILE only by death.
That is not the doctrine Of the canon Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, under
which marriage is permitted TO the innocent
party to a divorce obtained for violation Of
the seventh commandment. Practically,
too, ecclesiastical penalties do not seem
to he visited on those who marry
anew after having been divorced for
any cause allowed by the civil law
of any State. Many E~piscopalians
of social prominence in New York have got
divorces for desertion, In Rhode Island or in
some Western State, and have married other
husbands or wives without e~ncountering
social d~isaDprobation, though the circles in
which they move are made up of Episcopal
ians chiefly, This would seem to indicate
that they have also escaped censure by the
ShhANhf W tucg hdu bSCh pun uhucT the
ecclesiastical ban, 81 repulsed from the altar"
as Father RITcHIE puts it, they would not
be likely to receive the full social counte-
nance and favor they now enjoy,
Moreover, they have not found it dihicult
to get ministers TO perform the marriages
which he denOunces as sdulterous. They
have had only to go to the ministers Of other
Protestant churches than the Episcopal, for
from the time OF the Reformation until
now desertion has been a ground OF divorce
allowed by Protestant sentiment.
Undoubtedly, however, Father RITCHIE Is
right in eontending that II marriage is
made dissOlubls for amy cause, the way Is
opened for the multiplication Of the
causes by the civil Jaw, under which
marriage Is treated as a contract;
but the absolute indissOlubility of
marriage is not a Protestant teaching and
IL Is not a requirement enforced by the sen

For Congress.

The list Of Democratic candidates for Con.
gress presented BY Tammany Hall, com
msnds the earnest support Of all Demo
cratic citizens voting In their respective dis
tricts. Two OF the newcomers on the
Congressional neld deserve special consider
alton ~ politicians honorably entitled TO
higher honors at the hands Of their party
than they have yet received.
JACOB A. CANTOR has been the leader Of
the Democratic Senators in the New York
Legislature, with every demonstration Of
ability to hold that exacting place with
entire credit to himself and TO his col
leagues. WILLIAM SrLsER has at the same
time been the leader Of the Democrats in the
New York Assembly, and hasthereby won
\ clear right to the nomination he now has
received at the hands Of his party.
While Mr.. FRANKLIN BARTLETT Is easily
conspicuous ~ one of the few immovably
faithful soldiers Of true Democracy, who to
the end refused to help smash the Federal
Constitution by voting for the unconstitu-
tioual and Democratic income tax, there
IL no need to discriminate. All these mine
gentlemen should be elected as the represen-
tatives OF the national Democracy In the
city OF New York. Vote, as our residence
mere happens to assign o to the support of
each particular candidate, for BARTLETT,
WALSH, MINER, SrcKLEs, SuLzER, McCLEL-
Lam, CUMMINGS, CONNOLLY, and CANTOR.
Don't fail in the case Of any one Of them.
And at the same time and above all, vote
for DAVID BENNETT HILL for Governor. II

part Of the town indicate that, pending the
nomination Of the regular Democratic mu.
nlcipal, legislative, and Congress ticket, the
party there IL not yet stirred up 10 the duty
Of registration ~ IL will be hereafter. The
campaign IL not yet under way.
The only districts where the first days
registration was not greater than in 1899
were the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, all strong.
" Democratic, and the Seventh, Eleventh,
and T~wenty-hrst, where the Republicans
and MuRwumpa are usually more numerous
than elsewhere In the town; and the falling
of there, which was only a few hundred in
all, was about equally divided between the
two sets. Undoubtedly II will be made up
In the Democratic districts before the regis
tration IL completed; and the anne may be
-aid Of the Republican and Mugwump de
hciency, many such voters not yet having
returned TO their town residences.
The largest increase OF registration IL in
the Twenty-tbird district, where II IL / sac,
and IL is due doubtless to the growth Of pop
ulation In that part Of the town, for in the
upper districts where this growth has been
most marked since 1899, the increase IL
generally proportionaSely greater than else
where. Doubtless and reasonably the
Republicans will find in it some oc-
casion for encouragement, for In the
Twenty-third district, for instance, their
vote was only about eight hundred short Of
the Democratic in 1899, and BARTLETT's
majority over MAYNARD was large there
last year. In general, however, the gain is
decidedly favorable to the Democracy, 30
far as can be determined from the past
political complexion of the districts where
Il appears. Il seems to indicate that the
candidacy Of Senator HILL has stirred the
enthusiasm Of the party throughout the
city; int when the other regular Demo
cratic nominations are made, 80 a. to COM
plete the ticket and give q start TO the cam
paign all along the line, Democratic regis
tratlon Is likely to receive q new impetus.
Out Of the total registration Of 3O9,647 in
1899, the aggregate vote for CLEVELAND
and for HARRISON was e74, 234. Assuming
a registration OF $780, 900 for this year, the
combined Democratic and Republican vote,
II the same ratio be preserved, will be more
than BOO, 900.
Evidently the voters Of New York are ter
ribly in earnest this autumn. But what is
1t hat they are so determined upon doing ,
We must wait for the answer until the votes
are counted.

can squadron was commanded bv Gen. BENB
DICT ARNOLD. while the British fotilla was under
the orders Of Capt. PRINGLE. The first days
battle was near Plattsbureh. The British fleet
attacked the Americans about noon. and for Ave
hours a heavy firing was kept up at long range.
The Royal Savage was disabled and burned. At
. O'Clock the British withdrew. intending To re-
new the action the following morning. Finding
that the odds were too heavy against him. Ar
MOLD stole through the British squadron that
night, and most Of the next day was taken up
in escaping down Lake Champlain, with the
British In chase. On Oct. IT, when the squad
rons were opposite Split Rock. the battle was
renewed. The Congress and the Washington
made a desperate fight, so as to cover tho flight
OF the remaining American vessels. The Con-
gross was destroyed and the Washington was
captured, but only one other vessel fell into the
hands of the British. The total loss Of the
Americans was about eighty killed or wounded.
while that OF the British was about forty.

desperate naval battles on record. the United
States thirty-six-gun frigatc Boston capturing
the French corvette Berceau after q contest of

Notifications on the other side of the river. In
spite of the overwhelming number Of the
British. the Americans held their ground and
for several hours repealed all attempts TO dis
lodge them. Had the Americans been properly
supported by the rest Of the American army IL
would have been q complete victory. Capt.
JOHN +. WOOL who led the American forces,
was finally compelled to surrender.
On Oct. -. 1863, an action took place near
Arrow Rock, Mo-, between a force OF $500
Confederates and a hastily gathered body Of

POISON ENDS ABUSE.
A Wife Beater Kills Himself
When Threatened with Arrest.
He Formerly Was Very Successful
as a Salesman.
Took to Gambling and Then Refused
to Work.

Morris Cripple. forty years old. Of 81
Chrystie street, died at Gouverneur Hos
pital at an early hour this morning as n
result of having taken poison at his
home few hours previous with suicidal
intent.
The mans death reveals terrible
story of cruelty and ill-treatment. which
the man has heaped upon his poor
wife and four children for years His
wife's refusal to stand 1t any longer
and threat to have him arrested was
the cause of the mans suicide.
Gipple came from Russia eighteen
years ago. He was then Industrious, and
soon became an expert salesman. Eleven
years ago he married, and Immediately
afterwards he began to lll-treat his wife.
he became an inveterate gambler, and all
ms earnings were spent at the gaming
table.
Shortly after his marriage he lost his
position and then made his wife go out
and hunt for work. From that time he
refused to work. and forced his wife to
work to support him and the family.
Added to this he was abusive, and
beat his wife in brutal manner on
several occasions neighbors have had to
interfere.

house at "a Chrystie street There is a
policy shop conducted in the front OF
the place, and there Gipple spent most
of the money his wife earned by scrub
bing.
At last il became SO bad that the poor
woman could stand 1t no longer. She
made known her intention of leaving
MIN last Thursday, whereupon Gipple
flew into n rage and beat her in a
frightful manner. She then procured a
summons in the Essex Market Police
Court but when her husband discovered
this he kept out of the road.
About O'Clock last night he returned
home In sullen mood and imme dia tely
began abusing his wife. She asked hin,
to leave, whereupon he grabbed table
knife and chased her out of the house.
He then began breaking up the furniture
and acting in such violent manner that
the rest of the tenants were awakened
A policeman was summoned, but Gipple
quieted down, and the officer did not
arrest him.
About IL o'clock he again began tc
get boisterous, and again chased his
wife out of the house. He then CLOSED
the door, When his wife returned with
aid they broke open the door, and there
lying on the floor, was Cripple wrtin.
