Albert Edward Jarman was granted a
decree of divorce from Ellen Lorraine Jar
man by Judge Richie on the grounds of
adultery
The complaint was filed in the clerk S
Office only few minutes before the case
was called in court and the defendant
waived issuance of summons and time
10 answer. and allowed the plaintiff TO
take the oecree without opposition.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
the plaintiff and defendant intermarried
on September y, 1885, and that the de-
PENDANT on April ), 1896, committed adul-
terry with Earnest Wonnacott at No. III
East First South street, and on divers

Progression in Life Assurance.

This is a progressive age, and in
nothing has there been more progress
during the last quarter of a century
than in life assurance. This has been
further shown during the past few
weeks by the new policy issued by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of
New York. This policy offers several
options, one of which will surely meet
any condition that may come in the
future affairs of the policy holder. 1t
gives to its holder, at any time after
three years, a definite value in cash or
paid-up assurance. These values are
embodied and guaranteed in the pol
icy, so that a man may, at any time,
look at his policy and see just what it
is worth to him then, in cash. OF course
the longer the policy is held the more
valuable it becomes, and at the end of a
certain period a bonus is paid by the
Equitable to the policy holder from the
surplus earned by his policy.
The Equitable's guarantees moreover
certainly mean a great deal, for back
of them are assets of over two hundred
million, and surplus of over forty
million dollars.

SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR.
GREAT INTEREST MANIFESTED IN
THE PROPOSED TRIP.
Many Places Not on the Proposed
Itinerary Have Sent Urgent Invi-
tations TO the Manufacturers.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-Since it
was announced a month ago that the
National Association of Manufacturers
had undertaken the organization of a
party of representative men for the
purpose of visiting South America this
summer, an extraordinary amount of
interest in the project has been mani
Tested throughout the country. In
South America the projected visit has
aroused the interest of those countries
not concerned in the tour, to such an
extent that efforts have been made to
secure changes in the itinerary for an
extension of the trip so as to include
several countries in addition to those
first selected for study. There has
been some talk of crossing the Andes
to Chill from the province Of Mendoza
in Argentina and now the Peruvian
government is anxious to have the
party include Peru in its tour
President Search of the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers has just
received from the department OF state
copy of a letter from James A. Nc
kenzie, United States minister at
Lima, conveying a very hearty and
cordial invitation from the govern
ment of Peru TO the party which is
now being formed for the South
American trip. w nile II would be I'M
possible for our party to extend its
tour, and accept this invitation" says
Mr.. Search, still this expression of
earnest welcome is very significant as
showing the interest with which this
trip is viewed in South America and
the Importance which is attached to
it there. Our itinerary was made UP
weeks ago and it is not feasible to ex-
tend the route beyond the points al
ready selected in Argentina, Brazil
and Uruguay.
1.-The interest which is manifested
in this trip by the business men
in every section of the United States
is really remarka BILE. 1t shows how
eager our people are to enlarge their
foreign trade. AS far as it has been
made up. our party includes some of
the largest and best known manufac-
turers in this country, and those who
have not yet completed their arrange
ments for joining the party are OF
equal prominence in business circles
There is every prospect that the party
will be thoroughly representative OF
the most important manufacturing in
terests in the United States. The mere
announcement of this tour has devel-
oped an enormous volume of CORE
spondence, showing that the business
men of the country are keenly alive tc
opportunities for the enlargement OF
our foreign commerce.

person need not run the risk Of being

a half mile up in the air.
For several years he had three en-
gineers of distinction in his employ at
work on his ideas of a machine, among
them being Commander Gorringe, the
naval officer who brought the obelisk
over from Egypt to Central park, New
York. He also employed Captain Eads
of Louisiana. He was never salts
fed with the experiments. for the
reason that they did not prove suffi-
Gent to justify him in having a flying
machine constructed. During the lat
ter years OF his life he was so much
engaged with other matters that he
did not give the subject much of his
personal attention, but he always took
pleasure in furnishing money to others
who desired 30 make experiments in
that direction.
One of his theories was that solar
heat might be used in the propulsion
of flying machine, but he was never
able to satisfy himself how it could be
done. His main desire however. was
that the machine should fly low, and
he preferred that the experiments
should be made over a river or lake,
rather than the ship should be flown
from the top of a mountain or some
other high place.
