ROBERT G. INGERSOLL.

The death of Robert G. Ingersoll oc-
CURED yesterday at Dobbs Ferry, N.
Y. Naturally, those who knew him
will speculate as to the nature of the
accounting which, according to the
orthodox plan, he must give to his
Maker. Defenders of Christianity the
world over have looked for
ward to the time of Inger-
soils death as an event that would
call forth a confession that would
prove the fnsincerity CT his agnostic
views. But we are told that he passed
away suddenly and without satisfy
ing those who wished for ar argu-
ment against las position.
Col. Ingersoll was best known for
his attacks on Christianity, but aside
from this he held high rank as an or
aoor, lawyer, author and statesman,
and had a distinguished record as q
soldier Because of his achievements
in these latter vocations he is entitled
TO a place in American history, and
posserity will know him as 4 man of
high ability and learning, even if it
forgets that he was not a believer

ONE PARTIAL REMEDY.

In the face of such facts as those
given in the following paragraph from
New York paper. is 1t any wonder
the divorce evil has attracted unusual
attention of late?
The supreme court has recently
handled an average of sixty divorce
cases a month Five hundred and
forty couples have sought to sever
their marital ties in the nine months
from October 1, 1898, to July l, 1899.
This is a marked increase as COM
pared with the last five years"
If this evidence Of a great evils
growth is made by merely one city in
state which does not offer the facilities
for divorce Of many others, what must
the figures be for the whole nation?
For this increasing menace to the
country through the poisoning OF its
unit. the American home, the respon-
sibility is not easily focused, but it is
certain that the growing laxity of the
courts is to be credited with much
blame for the now widespread impress
sion that the marriage tie Is easily
broken. 1t is not only becoming less
difficult yearly to obtain DEGREES from
judges but to secure partial or entire
secrecy of the proceedings by which
separations are gained. The day may
come when it will be necessary, in Or
der to minimize this evil, to return to
the legislature from which it came
the sole right OF divorce.

makes an exceedingly pretty design.

though, to know if the law IS to be
sustained The appointment of the
commissioner and the election of the
officials of the beard of trade
can come later. Personal or po-
litical motives should not prevent the
law giving this county an immigration
commissioner from being carried out.
If the petty jealousies and narrow
prejudices could be eliminated from
the question, say for twenty-four
hours, the horizon would clear quickly
and the object sought could be at
tanned. The idea that If the law is
put into effect any individual or firm
can reap benefits not equally enjoyed
by all, is wrong It shows a pusil-
luminous and knocking" spirit that
must injure the whole county. Had it
not been for this foonshness the board
of supervisors would have doubtless
acted long ago.

DIR. MOONS QUICK EAR.
How Blind Type Was Invented for the
Chinese.

The sensitiveness of the organs OF
touch and hearing possessed by the
blind is illustrated in a remarkable
manner by fine following story of DR..
Moon. the inventor of the Moon type
for the blind:
Soon after the introduction of the
type an opportunity occurred to test
its adaptability to foreign languages.
The experiment was first made in
Irish, and proved entirely successful.
Strangely enough, the next was Chi
nese. knowing something of the
great prevalence of blindness in China.
he longed to provide embossed read
ing in that tongue. One day an old
friend, a captain in the navy, greeted
linn with the words, so. DR.. Moon, 1
hear you can't leave the Chinese alone
now"
mot while they have any blind
among Them" was the reply.
'tWell, would you like to sac real
Chinaman? If so, I will with pleas
ure introduce you to a Chinese gentle
man. a friend of mine" And DR..
Moon met the foreigner the following
evening.
The Chinese gentleman, Mr.. Ho
Chee. graafied his visitor by repeat
ing the Lords Prayer several times in
the Ningpo dialect. The ear of the
listener had long been trained in the
accurate distinguishing of sounds, and
he dictated to his secretary the Chi
nese syllables as his ear had caught
them When he parted from his ORR
entail friend he gave himself up TO the
task for adapting his alphabet to the
Chinese language.
On the evening of the following day
he was ready to pay a second visit to
his new acquaintance. After unrOlling
his embossed page he read aloud the
words, woo Ting Foo" but he was
allowed to go no further for IL
Chinaman sDrang from his seat. and
putting one hand on Dr. Moons chest
and the other on his back patted him
before and behind. exclaiming. "Oh.
YOU got Our FatherI' you got Cur
Father!' You shall have some teal"
And it was not until he had been re-
freshed with a cup of the fragrant
bohea that he was allowed to proceed
with the prayer, which proved to be
substantially correct. Thus began en-
bossed reading for the Chinese blind,
which has since been greatly devel-
oped and ADAPTED TO several others Of
the dialects beside that of Ningpo-|

In several eastern towns recently
there have been charges that certain
confectioners are adding TO their rev
enue by the sale of an abomination
known as brandy drops, a form
of candy saturated with strong
spirits, and the reported con-
fscation of stocks of the dia-
bohcal stuff IN two or three places
proves that the traffic has become
quite general. The baseness of q deal
er who would deliberately peddle these
drops to school children with the
knowledge that he is fostering in some
OF them an appetite for strong drink
is so low that the swiftest and sever
est punishment under the law should
be visited upon him. He ought to be
ame1a Bile both to federal and state
laws governing the sale Of iRtoxicants
and therefore liable to heavy sentence.
We do not know whether any OF these
brandy CONNECTIONS are sold in this
town, but if there are we hope the
stocks will be conhscated and the
dealers brought to account.

A Missouri college professor is out
with the suggestion that the "cumber-
some" official designation of the United
States of North America be amended
by an acrostic from the initial
letters of those five words, that
fs, fUsona." The notoriety his
suggestion has attained is due
solely to its absurdity. The ar
bitrary clubbing of great land by
evolving an utterly meaningless name
through the puzzle methods of juve-
nile magazines Is scarcely less ridic-
ulous than the arbitrary selection Of
Pqrst or Wxyz. The United States OF
North America is big and great enough
