Augustin DAILY has given enc phras4
70 American literature that, whatever
may be its defect as logical statement,
has taken such deep root in current
English that 1t Is doubtful whether n
can possibly be eradicated, and probably
never will be dislodged. The phrase is,
"Of oontemporaneous human interest I"
MT. DAILY employed 1t originally in de-
scribing one Of his adaptations Of the
playbill The literary critics scored the
phrase unm ,rcifully at the time and
tried to ridicule 1t out Of existence, but
Il seems that despite the irresistibla
conclusion that no play could possibly
possess any interest for trees or cattle IS
distinguished from human" creatures
Nr. DAILY had filed long felt want
with it, for it is now met with increas-
Ing frequency. Doubtless every one who
uses it does 90 under mental process
charging the responsibility on DAILY, but
Il is one Of those winged phrases that
drops in like an old time friend whose
clothes are not above criticism WA

Not to Her Thinking.
The summer girl, accompanied by her
mother, descended from the train at the
Springs station and looked about her.
Then she beckoned to man driving
q two seated wagon.
"Sorry, miss" he responded, "but
I'm engaged"
A shadow Of disappointment fell over
the face Of the girl
"Mommer," she exclaimed, "this is
no place for us. The men are SO scarce
that even the hack drivers are engaged "
At the station beyond, the outlook
Yves less disheartening. Truth.

mainly n personal enc. Colonel Lamb
desired 10 assume the role OF dictator,

They rcbelled against mis- assumption

The glory of the Lamb convention de-

ticket nominated is dc1med to disas-

Brady can sh: by and enjoy the scene.
and also enjoy the fat spo.ls of Federal
patronage. This il what they are or

THE DEMOCNATiG LEGISLATIVE
TICkET.

The nomination yesterday Of Nal
VIM. L. Foster for the Senate. and the
Hon. NJ. T. Cooke and Charles G. Eizcr
for the House Of Delegates by the DEM
ocratic Senatorial and city conventions
was as expected. 1t Is an excellent
ticket. Maj. Foster and Mr.. Cooke have
extensive Legislative cxpertcncc'and in
fluence, and -Nr. Kizer will be found
active and-earnest In the discharge of
the responsible duties of n representa-
tive OF the city OF NorIolk in the House
of Delegates. 1t is questionable wheth-
err the ticket will have any opposition,
notwithstanding the report that the
Bowden wing OF the Republican faction
are considering the policy OF putting a
ticket In the field, and it remains to be
seen whether the Lamb faction carries
out its policy OF lighting the enemy"
by making nominations. In either case

he argues that the death rate OF the
negro race sis twice us large as that
of the whites" dwelling in the same
communities. and mot only is he (the
negro dying faster, but he is being
born In less numbers, proportionately."
DR.. johnson holds that these conditions
are the result Of three decades Of free
dom, with the ignorance. dissipation
and careessncss of race freed from
restraint. and, what IS more import
ant, freed from the supervision of their
former masters, to whose interest If
was that the slaves were well fed, COM

MANY PERSONS IN UGOWN'S POSITION.

An OPINION THAT MOST OF THEM ARE GLAD TO
BE RID OF THEIR sPOUsEs
The decision made on Wednesday by Justice Rus
sell, Of the Supreme Court. in the suit of Harry F.
McGown for a divorce from his wife. Mary Emma

Yesterdays Tribune Mrs McGown secured A d.
vorce from her husband last April in North Da
kota. and later married Harry W. Bell. Justice
Russell decided that her divorce Was void in this
State tor the reason that the North Dakota court
rad 10 jurisdiction over Mr.. McGown. since the
papers were not served on him in that State. and
also since he aid not confer such jurisdiction By
entering defence.
With reference to the case Abraham II. Hummel,
Of the firm Of Howe & Humme said to Tribune
reporter yesterday: Justice Russells decision Is
not new one Similar cases were decided In the
way in the Court OF Appeals and in the APP
pelate Division Of the Supreme Court. The only
reason WHY the thousands OF persons who have Sc
stances DO not stand convicted or adultery DeIore
the communities in which they live IS that ne
persons from whom they have secured these d.
voIces are content TO let matters rest as they are
