Pleasant Whitehair Gets In.

New York Sun: In the daily del.
uge of the names worth reading
which pour upon us from all parts of
the land, our esteemed correspondents
do not always discriminate between
what is merely odd or unusual and
what is really so distinguished as to
be entitled toa place in the collection.
To illustrate by yesterdays batch:
We have Mr.. r. A. Canine and DR.. j.
W. Neptune; Jim 0dle and Wiley
McNiff; Mike Folb Of Fayetteville, N.

Baldis Onderdonk Of Matteawan, N.
Y; Peleg Hussey, Of Tasley, Va, and
half dozen foreign names which ap-
pear singular only to American eyes.
Not one of all these would find a
place in The Sun except as examples
Of the lack Of the requisite quality.
Somewhat different, however, is
the perfectly authenticated case Of

How to Keep Flowers.

Harper's Bazaar for the current
week gives some excellent ideas on
the preservation Of cut flowers. Mere
ly putting the stems into water is ap-
parently not sufficient, and with a

able blossoms may be preserved.
"All leaves should be removed from
the part of the flower stem that is to
lie underneath the water" says the
Bazaar, "otherwise these sodden leaves
decay and make the water offensive.
Every day the flowers must be care
fully lifted from the water and the

DIVORCES TOO EASY.
Judge Moore Shows the Need Of
Stricter Ruling.


The Topeka Mail publishes SYM
postum by number Of leading dis.
trict judges Of the State upon the
evils of Kansas divorce laws. Among
them is the following:
ABILENE, July l6.-The granting
Of divorce upon clear and conclusive
proof by sufficient competent evidence
Of any one Of the ten different grounds
for divorce enumerated in the Kansas
statute would probably be "conduc-
i've to domestic harmony and consis-
tent with the peace and morality Of
society"
The divorce evil is not so much in
the letter or spirit of the law as in
the slipshod methods Of its enforce.
ment. The great number Of divorce
cases upon the court dockets result
from the laxity Of courts in granting
divorces upon incompetent, II not
wholly insufficient testimony. II
courts were as strict in requiring
competent legal and satisfactory evi.
dence in divorce cases as in other
cases, there would be less number
OF divorce suits instituted and a far
less number Of divorces granted.
Nine.t .tenths of the divorce cases are
in default, and one-half Of them are
by express or implied collusion, The
plaintiff appears and relates her tale
OF woe. She tells all she knows and
all she has heard, and then she tells
all that she has heard her neighbors
say and all that they have heard.
There is no one to object to this class
of testimony. The Judge is deemed
cruel II he assumes upon his own mo-
tion to confne the party to legal tes.
timony.
This inexcusable liberality with
which courts try divorce cases has
given rise to most OF the slurs to
which the laws Of this state have
been subjected.
TO remedy the evil courts need not
adopt any new or unusual methods
Of trying these cases, but simply ad-
here to the common, ordinary, funda.
mental rules Of evidence and practice,
that is: ~ No divorce case, whether
in default or not, should be tried un.
less the time for framing the issues
has fully expired ten days before the
term Of court; (2) no ground Of di.
vorce shall be considered as estab-
lshed upon the uncorroborated tes-
timony ii a party to the suit; (S) no
evidence shall be considered by the
court unless such evidence is clearly
competent under the legal rules of
evidence; (4) the evidence to sustain
the ground alleged for divorce must
be clear and conclusive; (5) proof Of
incompatibility of temper or disposi-
ton should in no case be regarded as
proof Of extreme cruelty; (6) divorces
should always be denied upon proof
Of express or implied collusion be-
tween the parties. 0. l.. MOORE.

INTEREST N ELECTION RESULTS
II WAS Centered on Kentucky and
Onto.


1t seemed yesterday as though there
were more interest in the elections Of
Tuesday than was displayed in Richmond
10 any time before they came Off
The apparent uncertainty regarding the
result In Kentucky caused a great deal
of speculation and hoping against hope.
There was never a strong hope however.
The dispatches of Tuesday night had IL
color too decidedly Republican. There
was never "a hope Of the redemption Of
Ohio
The result in Virginia created no sur
prise. Perhaps this is not true regarding
the result in The Th.rty-second Senatorial
District Tho defeat Of Senator Boykin
was not generally expected, certainly not
ly such % great majority.
a gr.at deal of interest was manifest
cd in the result IN Nottoway. Brunswick,
and Lunenburg, bat the election of Judge
Mann 70 the Senate was foreshadowed
hy Tuesday nights dispatches, and con-
tlmati0n Cf the news Wednesday after
noon was readily accepted.
With the exceptions noted, all the in
te.ost IN the elections was centered in
those OF other States.
