Unjust Discrepancies.

The need of uniformity in laws gov
ceived recently new and vivid illus
tration. In New York a few weeks
ago a divorce was issued to the Sec
ond wife of the actor, Nat Goodwin,
the respondent making no defence. 1t
was granted with the proviso that
while the woman might remarry the
man should not. This prohibition so
far as Goodwin is concerned holds good
only in New York state. At Cleveland,
o., few days later, he married with
out hindrance woman who had her
self been previously divorced under the
laws of New York and she will be his
legal wife everywhere but in New
York.
Another instance bringing out even
more clearly the need of uniformity is
thus reported in the New York Sun:
I'm giving Mark X. Hamilton decree
of absolute divorce against Hattie
Maud Hamilton Justice Pryor of the
| Supreme court descanted yesterday on
| the conflict Of the divorce laws. Mrs.
Hamilton had obtained in Connecticut
divorce on the ground of cruelty and
| desertion. She then married William
| a. Fitzsimmons, with whom, the Judge
says, she is living in this city, decor
| ously, in the relation of husband and
wife This conduct is charged in the
present case as 'adulterouS inter-
| course The judge says: Il direct a
| judgment for divorce against the de-
| fendant with unaffected reluctance, and
only upon compulsion of an imperative
| principle in the Jurisprudence of this
| state. =" l am obliged to pro-
| nounce a sentence of divorce against
her, although by the law o. Connecti-
| cut, where her marriage with Fitz-
simmons was sOemnized, it is valid
courts of New York uphold a divorce
by them on constructive service of pro-
| cess, they refuse to recognize a di-
| vorce in other states on a similar SER
| vice of process. A divorce so obtained
here is effectual, and authorizes a re-
| marriage; a divorce so obtained else
where is a nullity, with the conse-
| uutHNt llleil a iiSN 10 NpilNublil-
age and it's issue bastards. Still it is
for the legislature to correct an incOn-
sistency and obviate an injustice which
some may deem scandal to the juris-
prudence of this state. If, however ]
be constrained to award a decree
against the woman, l am not forbid
den to absolve her from every imputa-
tion of evil intent and immoral con-
duct"
1t seems to us that this second eX'
ample of the unfairness arising from
differing laws in. different states re-
quires very little comment. The in
justice of it is monstrous. 1t should be

He was a man of simple tastes, quiet life, a lover of the City of Films, interested in it's parks, it's churches, it's libraries and in good municipal government, though never caring to mingle in the turmoil of political life. He was a well read man, loyal and devoted citi- zen and friend and he leaves a memory dear to many hearts. He was related to some of our best and most influential people, and here he had many tender associations ana memories which chung to him and were cherished by him when he became a resident elsewhere. He died at Columbia Falls, Me, where he had of late resided. He left New Haven some ten or fifteen years ago to reside elsewhere. His age was eighty-one. For years during the lat ter part of his residence here he was connected with the New Haven Colo ny Historical society as curator, and the position was one which he enjoyed having in his advancing years many hours of leisure and having decided taste for historical matters. He was for years previous booltkeeper for the Blakes, the well known New Haven manufacturers.

TESTS FOR INSANITY,

Most people imagine" said local nerve specialist, that doctors have some infallble test by which they can detect insanity immediately. Of course that's all nonsense There are many odd methods of diagnosing such cases, however In locomotor ataXia the pa
 tient cannot walk with his eyes shut. In incipient pGresis there is difficulty in articulating particular letters, and one famous scientist used to make his pa
 tients say national intelligencer.' A man with an incipient case of the dis ease can't pronounce these words dis tinctly to save his soul. Another very eminent practitioner employed truly rural for the same purpose. If you have paresis I would advise you not to try to say truly rural'-at least not in company. The knee-jerk test is well known to phys clans. To apply it, the legs are crossed and sharp blow struck just below the knee of the limb that is swinging loose. If the subject is all right there will be a prompt reflex action; in other words, his foot will fly up in spite of all efforts to keep it qu,- ct. If not, there is something wrong, and that reminds me of a tragic acci- dent which occurred in a southern court not many years ago. A man was being examined for insanity, and one of the lawyers made the experts the butt of a great dead of ridicule. He scoffed par ticularly at the knee-jerk test and asked to have it applied to himself. i There was no reflex action, and the fact had powerful effect on the jury, es- pecially as the lawyer happened to be a man of brilliant attainments After the trial was over he got to thinking about the matter, and in spite of his skepticism concluded to submit to a thorough private examination. It was made and discovered undeniable signs of locomotor ataxia, dooming him to a certain and lingering death. New Or leans Times-Democrat.
