UNHAPPY DIVORCES.

Hereafter They Must Wait Year in
California Before Remarriase.
Yesterday was the last day allowed by
law for the filing of divorce proceedings
that would allow of remarrisge before the
expiration of year after the signing OF
the decree.
For several years 1t has been the custom
for persons 10 go from the divorce courts
to the marriage license Office and to cele-
brate their freedom from marital ties by
an early renewal of similar ties with other
persons. The last Legislature thought
proper to change this order of things.
Whether this action was wise remains to
be seen, but at any rate the new law must
remain in force for at least two wears, or
until lobby OF divorces sufficiently
strong shall be able TO direct the current
of legislation in Sacramento.
1t was expected that there would be a
big rush OF applicants for divorce yester-
day, but this expectation was not fulfilled
as only half dozen actions for legal sepa-
ration were filed with County Clerk Curry
"a record frequently equaled during The
busy months of domestic litigation. Fol-
lowing is list of the suits of those who
seek 10 be united by the courts:
Emma II. Humphrey against o. ]. Hum
phrey, for cruelty.
Blanche L. Huss against Otto Huss, for fail.
ure 10 provide.
Horace +. Kendall against Margaret E. Ken
dali, for desertion.
Mrs. F. Williams against A. Williams, for
failure to provide.
Clara MeMshon against George Mcmahon,
for desertion.
Amelia Pleehot against Jean Plechot, tor
neglect and desertion.
Although the wind-up of the "open sea-
son" for divorces was not as lively as was
generally expected. yet there has been
constant stream of suits since the ADJOURN
ment of the LEGISLATURE that will cause
the total OF the first half year to mount
much above the normal figure.

between $4,000 and s350OOO. and the as
sets are stated by the firm to be $4,000

more. It Is stated that the bank will

fact. as most Of the property transferred
Is valuable city real estate, which, under
favorable conditions, would probably re-

to this, there is a large amount Of per-

Captain Burruss gives as the cause of
the failure hard times and great de-
mand for money. One hundred and
seventy-hve thousand dollars has been
withdrawn from the bank since July 1st,
and though offers of assistance were re-
ceived from numerous banks at home
and abroad, including a $6O.0Oc offer from
