The building will contain three stores as now, all the pres ent tenants needing the additional room to be got.

 The American consul at Dublin, Ire land, has retained Lawyer c. H. King in behalf of Mrs. Mary Harold, of Dublin, whose husband, John Harold, of Stafford Springs, is trying to obtain a divorce in the superior court of Holland county. Harold is trying to obtain the divorce on the grounds of desertiOn. Mrs. Harold makes affidavit that she did not desert her husband, but that, on the contrary he left her in 1886, and since that she has not heard from him in any way, and that he has not contributed towards the sup port of herself or her son. She further states that she has supported herself and son by her work as domestic servant in the home of one of the aldermen of Dub- lin.

 The writer of the unauthorized protest against the present trustworthy arrange ment for the execution of the law relating to marriage, published in The Press March 7th, is advised to discard the inspiration of Baron Munchausen. For his future guidance and edification he is referred to Proverbs, chapters XXI, vs. 16, XXI, vs. 29, XXIV, vs, 27 and contexts, also chapter XXT, verses 8, 9, 10, II and 12. Especially is he enioined to respect the injunctions of the ninth and tenth con- mands of the decalogue. If he is subject to melancholy he should try Burton's rem edy, "Betake himself to prayer and med icine."
 From knowledge of the primary and secondary causes of the genesis of the un- timely protest comes the conviction that he who makes one couple happy is bet ter man than he who makes many miser- able by threats of frowning down, arraign- ment at bar, pulverization, indignation, outraging public opinion and fiendish con- triving to defraud wives of the lawfully earned fees of their husbands, all of which more fully appears in said protest
 Of some it is said, ''Damnant quod not intelligunt," i. e., they condemn what they do not understand
