Plain Talk by Gen. Anderson Regard
ing Two Lecturers

Chicago, July 12.-Gen. Anderson, de-
partment of the lakes, says some of the
utterances in the lectures delivered by
Fritz Andrea, a former sergeant, and
William H. Reeves, a former private of
the army at Manila at All Souls
Church on Sunday evening, were incen-
diary, untrue and likely to create a
false impression in the public mind re-
garding the situation in the Philippines.
L don't know who these men are
he said, but they deserve to be pun
ished for their talk. They should be
put in jail until they are able to tell
the truth. Their statements in regard
to the spirit of our troops on the island
are totally at variance with truth. The
fact that over 1000 volunteers whose
term of enlistment had expired have
just signihed their intention of serving
for another period shows that they are
perfectly satisfied and that their hearts
are in the work. These lecturers, if they
know anything, know that the charges
they made are unfOunded. They are
simply lying when they say that our
soldiers fight the FilipinOs reluctantly.
Such talk is outrageous and should not
be permitted. I know Of no way to
reach them now, as they have been
mustered out of the army, but I know
what would be done with them If they
were in the Philippines. The American
soldier would be the first to resent Ut
terances of the kind

"Under the Kentucky Law Like
Buying a Cow"
Says Judge S. B. TOney to the
New York Journal.
DIVORCE LAW FAULT,
elf You Are Satisfied Keep Hers
If Not, Deal is OFF,
Thinks the Judiciary is Some
what to Blame.

New York, July 1.-THE Journal,
which has been advocating a national
divorce law has been interviewing legal
lights in Lexington, KY. who are quoted
in the Journal as follows:
Judge Sterling B. Toney of the Law
and, Equity court, says:
Taking a woman in marriage in Ken
lucky is like buying a COW. If you like
her you can keep her. If you are not
pleased you call off the deal"
Judge Miller of the common pleas
court says: The matrimonial system an
Kentucky is outra geous.
Judge Field of the chancery court
says: Reform is needed
The fault is ascribed to the divorce
laws.
1.-The divorce laws should be amended.
There are too many reasons accepted.
Abandonment is the favOrite one. The
husband or the wife quits the home, and
it seems impossible to refuse a decree.
Two-thirds of those who obtain one or
are punished by one, go across the river
to Jeffersonville, Ind.,-and marry
there says Judge Field.
But Judge Toney says that the laws
about divorce are what people make
them. He says: 1.-The fault is in imag-
lining that marriage is an every day
business. It is not. It is a contract for
life. It should be broken only for an
extraordinary cause, strong as death.
Let men and women be persuaded of
that; let them not enter into marriage
,
fuse to relieve them when they complain
of misery that they have attracted to
themselves deliberately"
He thinks the law need not be chang
ed. He has passed upon a celebrated
case in accordance with his theory. Smith
wanted a divorce because of his wife 5
habitual drunkenness. He had been a
WidOwer for less than four months when
he married her. Ten neighbors testified
against her. All the relatives of Smith
testified against her. Judge TOney re-
fused a decree. He wrote: ''Such pre-
cipitancy in marriage implies a want of
ordinary care in making a, proper Selec-
ton of a wife. 1t is an evidence of con-
tributOry negligence on his part. If he
had been injured or disappointed the
reason is that he has lacked prudence.
Marriage is not an experiment. It is
a solemn, sacred compact, to be entered
into soberly, discreetly. in the fear of
God. It is a contract for better or for
worse"
A widower who had four children and
a widow who had four children were
married. A year after she sued for di-
vOrce, alleging cruelty. Judge Toney
wrote: 1.-THE plaintiff is not entitled to
the relief that she seeks. There is in
compatibility of temper between the
parties. The aversion that exists ap-
parently is on the part of the plaintiff
for her husband. The evidence shows
him to be a petitioner for reconciliation
while she reSistS and resents all over
lures tending in that direction. These
parties cannot plead youth and indis-
erection in entering into the marriage
contract. There has been no valid cause
of disagreement between Them

The Arkansas Man Not to Re-
sign His Position
As Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee.
COMING HOME SOON.
Ex-Governor Stone interviewed
In New York.
Declares Bryan Will Be the
Next Nominee.

New York, July 12.-Former Governor
William J. Stone of Missouri stated to-
day that there is no truth in the report
that Senator Jones Of Arkansas is to re-
sign as chairman of the Democratic
national committee. He added that no
change is contemplated in the personnel
of the committee, and that all he knew
of the rivalry between himself and SEN
ator Martin OF Virginia for the CHAIR
rnanship was derived from the news
papers.
Mr.. Stone explained that he did not
come to New York on a political mis-
sion, but on personal business, and his
statement was borne out later in the
day when he went down to Long Branch
to confer with Colonel Wetmore, who,
according to report, is working on
scheme to organize a company TO DUCK
the Tobacco Trust. Good progress IS sa4o
to have been made by Colonel Wetmore
in his undertaking, and the understand
ing here is that his plans have so far
matured that he desired the advice OF
Mr.. Stone, who is his counsel on the
legal aspects of the enterprise.
Before journeying to Long Branch,
Mr. Stone was seen at the norman
House.
Senator JONES'" he said, and he tells
me that his health is now good. He is
stopping in London, or rather IN d
quiet suburb of the English metropolis,
and he writes that he will remain there
during the summer. 1 expect to see him
back home about September 1, and am
in a position to make the positive state
ment that he will remain at the head OF
the Democratic national committee and
will lose no time in getting to work al
ter his return.
Governor Stone did not take much
stock in the report that a division OF the
national committee would occur at the
Chicago conference on July 20 on the
question OF abrogating the two-thtrds
rule.
Il never heard of a contest or of any
such movement to abrOgate the two
thirds rule" he said, until the New
York newspaper men sounded me on
the subject. 1t is all news to me. L
to fix up any programme for the chi
cagO conference. 1 do not know what
will take place at that conference, eX-
cept that the situation will be can
Vassed at some length and the mem berS
of the national committee will exchange
views.
LAS to 1900, all I can say is that the
Chicago platform will be reaffirmed, and
that Bryan will be elected president OF
the United States"
Mr.. Stone has had several talks with
former Governor HOgg of Texas, ana
the big Texan eVinced considerable de-
light in relating his experience at Tam
many Hall on the Fourth of July Every
time Mr.. Stone comes to New York he
at the Democratic club, but he has con-
sistently declined all such invitations

his last visit and took dinner with that
gentleman at the Lawyers club, but

Missouri has ever come to mingling
with the Tammany crowd.
He had an invitation today to dine
with Judge Van Wyck, but was COM
PEELED to decline it because of his bust
ness with Colonel Wetmore at Long
Branch. Mr.. Hogg, however, saw both
the Judge and his brother, the mayor,
during the day. In his open handed,
frank way. he told both that there
would be only one candidate of any con-
sequence before the Democratic national
convention of 1900. He advised Judge
Augustus Van Wyck to pull for the vice
presidential nomination or to emulate
Bre'r Rabbit until 1904. Mr.. Hogg has
had much experience with rabbits
especially Of the Texas Jack brand
and he is a pretty good judge. No
promises were made today. Everybody
just smiled, the Texans good humor
being infectious, and let it go at that.
Mr.. HOgg is on very friendly terms
with all Of the Tammany men and can
talk to them like a Dutch uncle, with
out arousing their ire.

antula. It gets in it's work while the
sleeper sleeps and leaves its sting or
kiss on the lips. The next morning the
unfortunate girl, for men are not often
visited by the kissing bug, finds her
lips and mouth greatly swollen. She
looks in the glass and falls back in
horror.
The sting is very painful. Kisses are
not, so why the name? Who ever heard
OF a girls lips swelling up when she is
properly kissed-one of those famous
Nay Irwin kisses for instance.
There is only one kissing bug in town
so far and he will not be able to make
the rounds this week. Most of the bugs
have been at the c. E. meeting in De-
troit and are expected here any day.
Meantime the young lady on Harrison
street is afraid to look in the glass.
