Private Divorce Hearinrx
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
The strongest objection TO priya+e baar-
lnSs In divorce cases is the facility which
they offer to applications on insufficIenr
grounds and the impression to which they
give currency that divorce is more easily
attainable to persons of fortune and influ-
ence than to the common people The legal
opinion that public hearings would reduce
the number OF divorce suits so per cent is
probably well founded, and il would be safe
to add that of the so per cent thus cut off
nine-tenths will be of the sort that should
not be brought.

Very many people, said DR.. Woodward,

renders the situation more alarming, he is
still of the opinion that the people of the

TALKS WITH PASSENGERS.
Those Who Come From Norfolk Tell
of the Excitement

The steamer of the Norfolk and Wash
lngton Steamboat Company that reached
here this morning brought an unusually
large number of passengers. MANY of them
are residents of Norfolk and vicinity, who
are leaving for fear the fever will break
out near their homes and detain them
within the quarantine lines. The same is
true of the Baltimore steamers from Nor
folk. A resident of Norfolk who reached
here by way of Baltimore this morning
told Star reporter that Norfolk now has
a deserted appearance. Almost every man
IN Norfolk who can afford it. he said has
sent ms family from the city, and while
some rev have gone to Richmond most of
lnem are coming farther north
Eariy Monday morning, he said when the
news OF the outbreak Of the disease at
hampton reached Norfolk people who re-
meInbered the sad scenes of years ago vera
on the streets bright and early discussing
precautionary measures. BY breakfast
tlme almost every street corner was crowd
ed, ana people gathered about the news
paper and telegraph offices seeking infor-
nation The city really presented holiday
appearance, and business was practically
suspended. Since then the steamboat and
railroad olhces have been besieged by hum
dfedS OF frightened people. All the trans
portation companies have been doing a
rushing business, and expressmen are reap
ing a harvest
Precautions at Norfolk,
Discussing the situation with a Star re-
porter the citizen of Norfolk said that
everything possible is being done TO keen
Inc disease out of the city of Norfolk
Many sanitary inspectors and special DO
hcemen have been appointed, and the citi-
zens generally have turned in to clean I'D
the city. Before he left Norfolk last night
ne said, he heard many alarming rumors
concerning the spread of the disease. al
though none of them had 1t that Norfolk
was infected. He heard rumor that there
We're five cases of the fever in one of the
larger towns near Norfolk, but the report
mad not been verified when he left.
All day Sunday and early Monday morn
ing, he said, people crossed from Old Point
and Hampton to Norfolk in small boats.
and there is no telling how many people
left the infected section in this way. Soon
after the Norfolk authorities learned that
SO many soldiers at Hampton had been
stricken they established strict uuaran-
tine, and now, he says, 1t is simply imp,s-
slble for person to cross the river or bay
and enter Norfolk. Before leaving for
Washington he heard that the hotels at Old
Point had been practically deserted, and
that many of the helpers in them had been
discharged. He also heard that guests of
the hotels at Virginia Beach and Ocean
View were joining the exodus.

Liquid Air and Yellow Jack.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A couple of weeks ago YOU published q
brief but important editorial calling atten-

Since then l read with deep interest fine
illustrated article in the Scientific American

liquid air in considerable quantities at 2
very small cost. Was there ever A bat.,r
opportunity to test the power of this re-
markable agent to stamp out dreaded dis
ease than is now presented at Hampton.

Why not, then, instartly transfer these ma

Scholarship Suit.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore san
from Westminster, dated August 1lth
SAYS: The case of the vacant scholarship
iii Western Maryland College from Prince
Georges county was decided by the court
here to-day in favor of F. Webb Griffith,
of Upper Marlboro.
This case has excited a good deal of
interest among school officials because it
raised the question whether Senator,
after signing an appointment to State
scholarship, could revoke his indorse-
ment. The School Commissioners of
Prince Georges county appointed Webb
Griffith to IA scholarship in Western Mary
land College in September, 1898. The law
requires that such an appointment shall
be made "hy and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senator from that county.
Senator W. B. Claggett refused to consent
to the appointment of young Griffith, and
the vacancy continued until March, 1899,
when the Senator consented and signed
the appointment. But before the certiti-
cate of appointment reached the hands OF
the president CT the college, the Senator
revoked his act and notified the president
that he disavowed his signature to such
paper The appointment was then held
up by DR.. T. H. Lewis, the president of
the college, who refused to receive Crit
fifth until it should be legally determined
whether the Senator could revoke.
The case came up on this point today
and the court, Judges Jones and Revell
on the bench, in giving its decision said
that although the college could be justly
held to have acted with commendable
prudence and caution in view of the I'M
usual question raised and the compiled
tions of the case, still the plaintiff had
com piled with all the requirements of the
law in the case, having obtained the APP
pointment from the Board of School Com
missioners, the consent of the Senator,
and having rendered to the college the
evidences of these, together with the re-
ouired bond and the court must hold that
the Senator was not competent to revoke,
because after signing the appointment
the case passed out of his hands. The
college was therefore directed to receive
F. Webb Griffith as the appointee from
Prince Georges county on the State
scholarship.
