the Increase OF divorce for twenty
years, beginning with 1867 The fol-

in 1882 and $40 In 1889. japan had
109.0sS divorces in 1890. or one third

Despite tho appearance OF physical

one-half OF the Americans will die
within forty-seyen years. while tho
first half OF the Jews will not suocumb
TO disease or accident before tho ex-
piration OF aeyonty-ono years. Tho
death rate is really but little over half
that OF tho average American popula-
tion. This holds good In infancy AZ

Editor Torrey.
Last August there was a bad acci-
dent near Sharon station, on tho New

road. One section OF a passenger train
crashed into the rear OF The section pre-
cedlng II. Five persons were killed
and elghty-seyen injured. The engineer
OF the second section. Daniel w. Get
chell. was arrested and Indicted for
granddaughter, II being charged that
he had "feloniously and willfully
killed Franklin NJ. Waters Of somer-
VILE" Waters was one OF tho paasen-
gers. Getohell was discharged by the
railroad, which maintained that the
red danger signals were properly set
on the block In which the hrst section
was. and that II was Getehells fall
ure TO properly use the brakes which
caused the accident. Getehell admit
ted that the signals were all right and
declared that he had used all the
brakes. but that they were out OF or
der and would not hold the train. Here
was the issue. and the Traveller took
up Getchell's fight.
On Dec. II Getchell was put on trial
before Judge Sherman IN the Superior
court OF Norfolk county. that being the
county In which the 'aeddent had
taken place. and the Traveller began
his defense in Its news columns, Court
convened In the town OF Dedham. In
the introduction to the days story
published In the paper OF Dec, II was
the following;
"A lonely looking figure in that
courtroom was Getchell The hand of

ylctlon. He felt, too. that IN their anx-
iety to screen their own shortcomings
and divert public attention his late en-
ployers had made him a seapegoat."
on the following day there appeared
in the Traveller the editorial which o.
tenslbly was the basis for the editors
sentence. The next day the Jury found
Getchell guilty and sentenced him to
two years at hard labor ana the YER
dict was not commented on by the
