MISS RUSSELL ON DIVORCE.
She Ought to Be an Authority, But
She Makes No Such Claims.


Lillian Russell has been an operate
favorite before the American public
since the day when at sixteen she
graduated from a music hall to the
comic opera stage and began creating
leading roles In Audran and Often
bach. She has been married to
Harry Braham, to Teddy Solomon TO
Signor Perugini The following article
on divorce was written by her for the
New York Sunday World:
Divorce eases more useless suffer
ing, breaks more irksome bondage
than than any other institution in ex-
istence. Take away divorce and there
will be more unholy alliances lived out
by weary heartsick men and women
than can be chronicled.
II am not putting myself up as an
authority, for know that anything l
may say will possibly bring forth jibes
and sneers from many who frown up
on divorce. I am not making this a
personal question. / am speaking In
the abstract. II women find their hus-
bands have vices which they cannot
tolerate, or british tendencies that are
obnoxious TO refined womanhood, do
you think they ought to be forced 10
drag out a loveless existence by the
side of these men? Where two people
have not one thought in common, do
you think that life together holds for
them any happiness? tell you no, and
that marriage of that kind is unholy
and should be dissolved.
"But you ask do / not think these
things ought TO be considered before
the leap is made into matrimony
Most certainly do, as far as possible.
But there is no judging man or wo-
man before your marriage. 1t takes
the little frets and jars Of daily life to
bring out different phases of charac-
ter. Before marriage the curl papers
are taken down carefully and the hair
arranged in a soft crinkly couture. At
ter marriage the curl papers are as
often as not left up, and the greater
details of life are neglected In the
same ratio. 1t takes some people long
er than others to find out whether or
not they have made a mistake, but
when they do make the discovery
think they ought to rectify it at once.
81 do not mean that they should cry
quits at the first quarrel, but after
time to gather full realization of the
hopelessness of trying to get along to-
gether. People come to me and ask me
how l have preserved my good looks.

got divorce; that's what has kept me
free from worry, wrinkles and-look,
you don't see single crow's-foot!
Well, just think of those / would have
had IL / had not been divorced. The
woman who continues to live with a
man simply for the looks of the thing,
and TO be supported by him, is cow
ard. If she allows herself to be sub
tccted to i'll treatment or humiliation
or hardships through the fault of a
man she is not deserving Of sympathy
and lowers the standard of woman
hood. 1t is no easy matter to brave
public opinion, but life is a fight Of
one kind or another. And divorce is
far better than wrinkles and crows
feet"

Of INTEREST TO TEACHERS.
An Effort to Be Made to Increase TheiI
SaIaries-Proi. Prettyman's
Views

At the coming session OF the Legisla-
ture an effort will be put forth 10 increase
the salaries of the public school teachers
throughout the state. The Republican
platform. in the recent campaign, made
| the specific declaration in favor Of an in
crease in the pay of the teachers.
While the Democratic platform put
forth no such specific declaration. Dem
ocratic leaders and stump speakers prom
| ised that the pay OF the teachers should
be increased, ii the financial condition Of
the State Treasury would justify such an
incre ase, and if the increase could be
made without adding to the present State
| tax rate. That the salaries of the public
school teachers are very small. and noto-
riously smaller than the salaries OF teach
ers in adjoining states, IS an accepted
| fact.
Prof. E. B. Pfettyman, secretary of
the State Board of Education and princi-
pal of the State Normal School, is heart
| lily in favor of the proposed increase in
teachers salaries, and has put himself to
much trouble to ascertain il the condition
of the State Treasury will warrant the
contemplated step. In this connection.

who study the Comptroller's reports. as
every citizen should. that our whole State
tax is TX on the 500 worth Of property
distributed as follows: Ten and one-half
cents for the State school tax; two cents

cents to pay the State debt. 1t is evi-
dent that at the next session of the Gen.
eral Assembly, in January. 1900, the
question must be settled. What shall be

but happily no longer needed for that
purpose There can be but two PROPOSE
tons. First. to abolish the FIVE and one
fourth cent lax, and, secondly, 10 in
crease the State school tax by that
amount. BY continuing this tax, revenue
will be secured by which perceptible
increase in the teachers salaries will be
practicable-that is, larger sums than at
present will be distributed among the
several counties and the city of Balti-
more. OF course, it will be necessary
for the city and counties to make the
usual levy for school purposes in order
to provide for more pay for teachers.

A Mestlxo FIb.

There has been grent cackling among
the anti-imperiallsts over the vote re-
ceIved by the Hon. Golden Rule Jones
Of Toledo as the Jones candidate for
governor OF Ohio. The MestIzos have
assumed that the men who voted for
Jones voted against expansion and the
administration. Mr.. W. q. Ghent of
Toledo. who edited Jones campaign
paper md managed his campaign.
sInashcs this romance OF the anti-im-
perialists. In statement made under
his own name last week he said:
II emphnticnily protest. both in my
own behalf and that of the thousands
Of expansIonlsts who supported Mayor
Jones. that the non-partisan vote had
the meaning Of casting reflection on
the expansion policy OF the admins
tration. Our campaign was waged on
the issue OF popular rule versus boss
rule In Ohio. Had II included the is
sues of the war In Luzon, taking an
unfavorablc attitude thereon, would
have taken no part In 1t. and there are
thousands OF others OF like mind. Some
Of our speakers, notably George ID.
Heron and Attorney Charles s. Oar
row, violated the spirit Of the canvass
and INDUCED In II wild declaration
against the administration. When this
was done we lost votes. These facts
point out that Ohio Is absolutely safe
ON the proposition that the war In the
Philippines Is nn unavoidable war.
from which there IL no escape In honor,
justice and national dignity, and that
its prosecution is for the best inter

Tn. Fate OF bandit. for I,andl,..

1t must now be clear to the most
dismal of anti-expnnslonlsts that there
Is no war In the Philippines. The re-
sistance offered by Aguinaldo since
the early summer hns not really de-
served the name Of war. but whatever
may be said on this subject there can
not possibly he two opinions concern
ing present conditions. The insurgent
leader is In full flight with n very
small band of followers. Members of
his Cabinet and the president OF his
congress have been captured. The
few insurgents in arms are scampering
away In every direction. while the
gratified Inhabitants of the invaded
territory are welcoming the American
troops as their delivcrers.
Among the retreatIng Tagnlos them
selves It is generally recognized that
organized opposition on lnrge scale
Is no longer practical, and 1t is said
that they are planning TO resolve them
selves into independent companies of
bandittI. II they do so and then pro-
ceed to piilnge and murder no con-
sideration will be due them ms beliger-

still some misrepresentation as to what
