Oklahoma for Divorce.

South Dakota's Legislature has finally
defeated the effort to amend the divorce
law of that State on the line of ''free-and-
easy" The movement to re-establish the
old conditions, under which no previous
residence in the Territory was necessary to
the beginning of suit for divorce, which
would be forthcoming in ninety days, has
failed, and the hotei-keepers and LAWYERS
are In condition OF disgust, says the St.
Louis Republic.
Oklahoma is taking the place in odorous
fame which South Dakota has refused to
resume. Practically the old Dakota divorce
law now prevails in Oklahoma, with the
additional advantage that no notice is to
be served upon the person from whom a
divorce IS sought, unless by accident he or
she should happen to see a printed notice
OF the application in some obscure Okla
homa paper.
Several large hotels are 10 be erected in

BALFOUR AND BIMETALLIS1

The free silver advocates have been led
TO believe that the recent change in the
political party in power in England was a
step in advance towards bmetallsm,
which. In turn, is long step toward
rec silver. 1t was thought that the Sal
isbury administration had practically
ommitted themselves to the side of BIZ
metailism during the campaign. How.
ever. subsequent events prove that cam
paign speech and the indirect promises
therein do not kcount for much more in
England than in America. Political
speeches in England are made for express
ly the same purpose as hereto catch
votes. Those fully conversant with the
marquis of Salisbury. however, did not
feel that either he or his party were like
~ TO step aside from beaten paths. and
above all things to meddle with existing
financial institutions.
The marquis of Salisbury has ever
been a conservative OF conservatives. He

An Industrious Flea

At Essen, Germany. in the great Krupp
gun works, which are situated at that
place, there is hammer that weighs 50
tons. This hammer works in connection
with an anvil weighing so tons, which. in
turn, is placed on on anvil plock weigh
ing 100 tons. Professor Schumann, a
"trained flea man OF Berne, Swlzer-
land, visited Essen and the great war
machine works few years ago. Upon
returning home he set about making a
model of the great hammer which should
be completv in every detail. but On such
a minute scale that the hammer could be
raised by flea instead of by 100.horse
power engine. as in the original. In its
completed state this wonderful minia-
ture model. frame, hammer, pulleys,
etc., weighs but one and half grams.
The hammer and anvil are both OF sol.
id gold. the pulleys German silver and
the framework of platinum. A flea
trained by Mr.. Schumann. the maker oi
the model. will, at the word of command,
hoist the hammer to the top OF the frame
where it is automatically set free, de-
scending in precisely the same manner as
the monster after which it was modelled.

would be more likely to extend than to
restrict. He stands for the church as one
of the institutions OF the state. and con-
siders the disestablishment OF such as
the rankest heresy. He believes in the
rights by force of arms if necessary, and
the drawing of broad line to mark the
distinction of the classes.
These things ara only mention ed to
show the sort Of man the marquis of
Salisbury is, and how unlikely he is,
at this late day, to step aside from the
doctrines to which he has been born and
bred.
If the Conservative party. during the
campaign, committed themselves in any
way to bimetallism. it was for policy sake
aud not a matter of conviction. 1t is no.
table that the first lord of the treasury,
the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour. had hard
ly got comfortably seated and donned his
official robes before he came out with
declaration in which he very plainly
hinted at the improb ba bility of an interna-
tional monetary conference in the near
future. There is no doubt that the ad-
ministration will continue to throw cold
water on such.a movement. When the
time comes that an international monetary
conference is about TO assume definite
shape and session near at hand, the
first lord of the treasury of England will
probably find some pretext for postpone
ment.
Bradstreets recently said of Mr.. Bal
four:
The Importance of Mr.. Balfour's recent
declaration regarding the impro liability
of an international monetary conference
being held is being moro clearly appreci-
ated as the days go by. Perhaps the most
significant indication OF the weight at
tached to Mr. Balfour's outgiving that
has yet come to light, is the news which
comes from Berlin to the effect that owing
to his declaration that there was ro rea-
son for supposing that any agreement on
the currency question would result from
a monetary conference at the present
time, and that a second abortive confer
ence would be very undesirable; the Ger
man government is recOnsidering its plan
for the convening of another conference.
anu il is now expected that tils result Of
its deliberations will be averse to the
proposal. All this means, OF course, that
no such conference is likely to be held,
for the current OF opinion in the United
States, as reflected recently in the decla-
ration of party platforms, as we'll as in
the press generally, is decidedly against
Independents action looking to the ii king
of ratio between the two metals, and
without the action of England and Ger
many international action is absolutely
impossible.

THE RIFLE NOT NECESSARY IN THE LABOR
FIELD

Closely following the revival of indus
trial activity in the east came unwelcome
indications of dangerous friction between
capital and labor. In Michigan this fric-
tion has led to the summoniug OF state
militia 10 quell alleged lawlessness on the
part OF striking laborers. 1t IS sad
spectacle, no matter on whom the bla m e
may rest. All over the country working
men were Obliged to labor for meagsr
wages during the depression, and with
the return of business activity they
naturally look for betterment of their
condition. Greatly to the credit of many
large manufacturers in tho east. wages
have been voluntarily advanced. The
greed of others, however, leads them to
exact the pound of flesh-hence the be-
ginning of sort of trouble whose terrible
consequences are fresh In the public
mind. 1t would seem that with tae ex
perience OF the last few years labor and
capital should nov be able to adjust
differences amioably and satisfactorily.
The rife and the bayonet should not be a
necessary factor in the industrial de-
velopment of the United States. The
highest craftsmanship is that which
seeks to adjust differences between capi
tai and labor harmoniously and equIt-
ably.

Adams is female impersonator OF consid-
erable skill, in his line. His act is billed
as Uarmsncita up to date. His imitation
OF the renowned Spanish dancer is per-
haps as good as any man can give it. but
the dance as given is more accurately an
excellent imitation of Bertoto, cute
dancer who was just coming into fame at
the time of her death two years ago.
However. Mr.. Adams act is good and the
same can!bs said of william f. Rochester,
whose only error was in touching upon
politics. He has good voice, well
trained and consequently under good
control. He has the action of polished
actor and deserves to make . hit.

BUT ONE EXAMPLE

The rich men OF Los Angeles arc max

their money. 1t is true that they have
always SHOWN a readiness to spend their
coin freely in any enterprise that would
be of benefit to the city-where there was
likely to be practical result IN profit ;but
In altruistic undertakings they have
been conspicuously absent.
In fact, tho millionaires,l and they are
numerous in Los Angeles, have done abb
solutely nothing for charity or art, be-
yond the giving of occasional aims or the
purchase of a picture. None OF them
have endowed a hospital, library or an
art gallery. and there does not appear to
be any prospect of any such generosity.

London newspapers furnish an interest

again, "If these contests are I, continue.
congress must step in and compel es-

1t would be hardly less accurate to speak
of the race as occurring in the Central

miles in the ocean, beyond the bay, and
extends straight out Europeward. The

it Is SO terribly overcrowded that it is
difficult for the hospital staff to properly
