DIVORCES.
Chicago Breaks the Record for MatrImo-
NAL Infelicities.

Agitation of the divorce question
in the Episcopal convention brings
out the announcement that Chicago
will this year break the record, made
last year, of l,500 divorces granted.
The real surprise is that 300 other
petitions for divorce failed. Chicago
still leads tie country in the di-
vorce industry, its nearest competi-
tor being Denver, Colorado, with L.
1902 granted. San Francisco comes
along in third place with $50. Cleve-
land, o., is poor fourth with 1892,
closely followed by Philadelphia at
81, and by Boston and New York
with 1874 each. These figures refer
only to the cities named, not to the
respective states. The total number
of divorces granted in Massachusetts
is less than the number granted
either in Chicago or Denver.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.
The Terrible Evil That Is Running the
Young of the Land.

The Terrible Evil That Is Running the
Young of the Land.
There is a terrible evil undermin-
ing the health of the rising genera
ton. This evil, prolific of direful
results, is the habit of cigarette
smoking. 1t is impossible to walk
very far without seeing boys of ten
der years putting away their lives in
nauseating smoke. The army sur
geons have rejected many other
wise desirable young men, who
have, by their persistent use of CT
garettes, contracted the tobacco
heart" but it is almost useless to
try to reform many of these juvenile
smokers. If prevented by parents
and guardians from openly indulg-
ing in the perniciOus practice, they
will frequent out-of-the-way places
to crafty their infatuatiOn for the
deadly thing. Only a few years ago
a nephew of mine learned the habit,
and nothing would keep HIM from
the suicidal indulgence. l used the
strongest language and arguments l
! could conceive of, but all was of no
avail. He lived only two years af-
ter he began to smoke. He was by
no means a weak or sickly lad, but
rather robust than otherwise. The
baneful smoke poisoned his lungs so
that he soon became a victim of con-
sumption. The millions upon mil
lions of the small life-destrOyers
manufactured is awful to think Of
No remedy appears in sight, and the
deadly habit goes on increasing
Fathers and mothers have a great
responsibility in guarding their dear
ones from this indulgence. Must il
60 on from bad to worse permanent
ly? Let us hope the youth of the
land will accept these awful warn
iugs promulgated broadcast, INC
throw aside the filthy thing for
ever.--AltXander Macauley, in tn,
Interior.

A DISPATCH from st. Petersburg
tells of an immense undertaking
that has been planned by the Rus
slams. The project is nothing less
than a ship canal across the empire
which shall connect the Baltic Sea
with the Black Sea, so that the larg-
est battleships can pass through 1t
at a reasonable speed. Though the
waterway will be ten times as long
"a the Suez canal, the territorial
conditions are so favorable and the
existing waterways are so large ana
deem and convenient in their natural
direction, that only about 100 miles
Of the 900 miles will need to be
dup and comparatively little dredg-
ing will be required to complete the
availability of the natural water
wavs. Five years is the time which
Il is calculated will be necessary to
complete the work and open the
canal for shipping. The cost is estl-
mated at only 2CO,OCO,OOO rubels, or
$l54, 100000.

AT Vicksburg.

J. Z. Walton, Co. I, 30th Ohio, Koleen,
Ind, writes: Il see that Il comrade of the
55th Ill. has bobbed up serenely with the
avOwed object of setting some of the COM
rades right as TO who led the Fifteenth Corps
at Vicksburg He has succeeded in making it
about as clear as mud. He undertakes to
create the idea that all the divisions charged
at the same time; the position that Comrade
Brandle, of Chicago, took at first, but after
ward abandoned. He takes the position that
which undertook to bridge the moat OF ditch
in front ef the fort.
&C My statement was, and still adhere to it.
that the Both Ohio was the first to charge the
works, following the storming party, so called,
which was not expected to undertake the
capture of the works, but only to bridge the
moat for the passage of the regular organiza-
ton which followed them, for the purposs of
taking the fort, and that first regular organ
ization was the Both Ohio. The reason, OF
the failure the comrade mentions was that
the bridging material carried by the party
was found to be entirely too short to span the
moat, owing to miscalculation. But the
30th Ohio followed so closely that we did not
have time to discover the difficulty as to the
shOrtness of the timbers until nearly all the
leading company and about half the second
had been shot down on the edge of the moat,
and the remainder Of the regiment, under
the partial protection of q cut through bank,
remained there until about p. M, when
another regiment charged, but failed also,
for the same reason that we did All who
were cognizant of the exact situation agreed
that failure was no disgrace in that case"
