South Dakota are counting their new
loves while their suits against their old
loves are still pending. Nefarious as
this proceeding Is, it is accompanied by
perjury. The bishop inquiries how many
of those who swear that they have
taken UP their bona fide residence in
South Dakota remain in that State six
weeks after the divorces they seek have
been granted. He points out that the
courts of other States have again and
again declared divorces secured in
South Dakota void. Bishoy Hare does
not mince his words. He says the
object of the lax laws Of South Dakota
on divorce is for the purpose Of max
ing money, because the secret of most
divorce suits is illicit passion and not
any intolerable grievance. This trade
bewitches lawyers. Nay" says the
bishop, 80 bold is this traffic that they
who engage in 1t would like, if they
dared, even to take a seat on the
bench in the hope that as they smooth
down the ermine of the judge with
their attention even Justice, like a.
stroked cat, will fall asleep on the
bench"
True and timely words. The people
of South Dakota are not polygamists,
but what has been called consecutive
polygamy is much encouraged in their
State. They ought to be ashamed Of
themselves.

Stupendous union stations, says a
correspondent of the Boston Transcript.
ARE a great disadvantage to the sub
urbanitAs, who may make no use Of the
union feature, and yet constitute 80 per
cent, suppose, of the traffic. Here is
another point. The scattered stations
make 1t possible for persons to select
suburban homes on lines Of railroads
that tap the city near their places Of
business. This distributes the conges-
tion of a great city. I have never I'M
derstood why people do things to
make the biggest crowds possible, when
there is nothing more disagreeable than
being crowded. Theatres should dis
tribute their time of beginning over the
widest range possible, SO the cars would
not be overcrowded to death one half
hour and empty the rest of the time;
noon hours in business establishments
should be so distributed as to make
luncheon rooms habitable. need not
elaborate. Our whole drift of modern
life Is toward such degree Of uni
forrnity in everything as to crowd
everything and leave great blank spaces

FASHION NOTES.
Discredit Where It's Due,

The present fashion for dragging
skirts is an imported notion. Yet do
nestle dressmakers are at fault in its
wasteful development here, for to them
alone is due the discredit of dragging
skirts for street gowns. AS it originat-
ed, the fashion was reserved for house
and carriage costumes, and the adop-
ton of it to street wear Is home pro-
duct, one in which no one can take
pride. It should be noticed, however,
that a lot of women are wearing trail
ing length skirts over ankle petticoats.

A new artificial silk, manufactured
from gelatin, an invention of Prof. j.
j. Hummel of Yorkshire college, Leeds,
England, has just been submitted to the
Swiss silk manufacturers for their
Judgment. A reservoir containing gela-
tin in liquid form is kept at such q
Temperature that the gelatin will not
harden. The top of the reservoir con-
tains many small holes, through which
the gelatin passes in fine streams and is
received on an endless band of linen
threads of uniform thickness and bril-
liant surface, ready to be wound upon
spools. The whole apparatus is said to
require but little attention, the only
thing to be looked after being the re-
placing of full spools with empty ones.
One workman can oversee ten of the
machines, which will produce about
100000 yards of thread a day, an
amount equal to the silk product Of
$4,000 cocoons, The threads are wound
lightly on drums and submitted to the

t A few Of the street railroads Of Mass
iachusetts have the right to carry freight
under certain restrictions, and several
bills are before the legislature asking
for an extension of this privilege to 9TH
or specified traction companies. But
the bill of incorporation provides for
about as free a use Of the streets in
transporting freight as the electric
roads now enjoy in carrying passengers.
1t provides that the company shall have
authority to operate freight cars on any
electric road in the State, with the con-
sent Of the owners of the road. One
section says that the corporation shall
not carry freight through the public
highways between 6 a. m. and midnight,
nor move any rolling stock at a speed
exceeding three miles an hour; but sue
ceeding sections allow it to move empty
cars at such speed as 1t now allowed
passenger cars upon street railroads,
and to run loaded cars and motors dur
ing such hours of the day and at such
speed as municipal authorities may au-
thorize. The steam railroad companies
are expected to vigorously oppose what
they will call a wholesale and unfair
discrimination against their interests,
and opposition is looked for also from
citizens who may object to prolonga-
ton through all the hours Of the night
Of the noise of the trolleys.

The daily dispatches from
Washington last week announced
the appointment of DR.. H. G. G.
Rose as postmaster, vice G. NJ.
Middlebrook, whose term as
postmaster expired last week.
The only two applicants for the
position were DR.. Rose and H. J.
Benedict. A large body of the
repub blican patrons of the Office
would have preferred to have
seen Mr.. Benedict secure the
appointment, but they accept the
decision of the powers that be,
and congratulate the successful
candidate, feeling confident that
he will make an acceptable and
efficient postmaster. DR.. Rose
will probably take possession Of
the Office at the close of the
present quarter, and remove it
to the corner building in which
his drug store is located.

Fast Mail to Seattle.

! The widespread public interest
in the contest for the fast mail
contest between Chicago and
Omaha has caused one to tenn
porarily overlook the similar
achievement of the Great North
ern railway in establishing quick
mail communication from New
York, via Chicago and St. Paul,
to Seattle, and thence to the
Orient. The fast Pacific mail
service by way of ST. Paul to the
Puget Sound country is now
quite as remarkable as that via
Omaha to San Francisco. On
January 3 the Great Northern
placed in service a fast through
mail and passenger train from
Chicago to Seattle, on which the
mail pouches never once leave
the car after the transfer at ST.
Paul.
From New York to Seattle the
time by this northern route is
just four days. East of ST. Paul
the mails are carried on several
roads, but west of that city-On
a run exceeding the eastern por-
tion by 500 miles-tbe mail goes
through without change across
i've great states on the tracks
of the Great Northern. Forty
five minutes are consumed in
transferring the mails in Chica-
go and thirty minutes in St.
Paul. After that the Northern
Oriental flyer does the rest with
out a pause until the Asiatic
mails 60 on board the steamers
Of the Japan Mail Steamship
Company. Both the Importance
Of Seattle as an Oriental shipping
point and the speed of the Great
Northern transcontinental mail
service make the achievement .
noteworthy feature of American
railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have
already become formidable rivals
of San Francisco as regards the
freight and passenger traffic for
Japan, China, and Asiatic ports.
The steamer route from Seattle
to the Orient seems to be more
free from storms than that from
San Francisco, and as u large
proportion of the Oriental ex-
ports are products of the North
west the freight traffic has nat
urally taken this course. The
fact that the full capacity of the
Japan Mail Steamship Com
pany's boats are engaged as far
ahead as next August, is in itself
a striking proof of the growing
importance of the Oriental trade
that has it's outlet at Seattle.
For these and other reasons
the fast mail to the Pacific coast,
for which the Great Northern
holds the government contract.
is fully as important as that
which daily rushes across the
plains and mountains to San
Francisco. The Great Northern
has been as much alive to the
keen rivalry for speed and
honors as have the Northwest
ern, Rock Island, and Burling-
ton, and it is but fair that the
achievements Of its fast daily
transcontinental mail should be
included in the new chapter Of
railway advancement now being
written by the Western rail-
roads. Chicago Tribune, Jan.
IA, 1899.
