| A permanent increase Of the regular
army to 100000 men. II not a higher
number, now seems to be the newt
able result Of the policy Of imperial
expansion" to which we have been
committed. The fact must be faced be-
fore long, and 1t is better that II
should be faced and clearly understood
before the country has drifted into a
situation where intelligent considera-
ton and deliberate judgment in the
matter Is no longer possible.-Cleye-

The issues which the Mckinley ad-
ministration has forced on the people

eminent They require a decision
whether all that has made the United
States what 1t is shall be thrown
away. The patriotic gold man is say
ing that he prefers a bimetallic repub-
lie to gold empire. The patriotic BIZ
metallist is saying that he prefers a
gold republic to a bimetallic empire.
When the question Of the fundamental
principles Of our government is seri-

After Hanna got his national chair
manship back again yesterday, he gave
II out that Roosevelt Is to have no
voice In the conduct OF the campaign.
He will not be consulted on any i'm
portant matters Of policy. He Is to be
sent where Mark Hanna wants to send
him. Hanna's defiance and vindic-
tiveness are topics Of current discus
sion among politicians. He has now
determined to make the candidate for
second place absolutely subservient to
himself as the party's boss. The gov.
ernor is not to be permitted to pose
as the savior Of the Republican party
or to become conspicuous. That would
be distasteful to the Mckinley idola-
tors.-Paterson Guardian.
II a Republican congress would pass
a Law putting on the free list articles
on which trust monopoly has raised

such a plank as a display Of Republic

Hanlan, former champion sculler OF
the world, and one OF the best men
who ever sat In a she'll. Interest is

The way Hanna Doe. It

From the New YORK World: Chair
man Mark Hanna Of the Republican
national committee is not forgetting
the postmaster's mites.
By a scheme conferred In this city
each postmaster throughout the UNI
ted States Is being asked to see that
IS is sent TO the National Commercial
and Industrial league. with ofices in
the Bowling Green building, this city.
The national committee expects TO
realize half a million dollars By this
plan from fourth-class postmaster
alone. To each fourth-class postmas1
ter is sent ten tickets for membership
in the league with instructions to dis
pose Of them for fifty cents each and
remit the proceeds TO Mr.. Corey. The
plan was conceived to get around the
law which prohibits assessment OF gov
eminent employees for political pur-
poses.
Subsequently the high saiaried post
masters win be made to contribute
and It 10 estimated that they win bring
IN three times a. much az the little
qsh. or two million dollars in all.

JEWISH DIVORCE


oraatsa According - the Rabbininai
lew q ebs Taanad.
A scene In real Life recalling IN some
respects the famous divurcement de-
picted By Israel zAngw1n In his Chill
drsn of the Ghetto" was enacted In
Baltimore when Mrs. Lena q. Wolf
was granted . divorce according 70
rabbinical law from her husband,
Maurice WolL says the Baltimore
Sun.
TIE trial took place at SIS West
Lombard street, the residence Of Rev.
d. q shaner, rabbi Of the Green street
synAgogue. A suit for divorce between
the couple Is now pending In the civil
courts Of that city. The old Taimudic
law, however. requires those persons
who have been married according to
the orthodox Hebrew ritual to be d.
vorced also BY the religious law. For
this reason Mrs.. Wolf Unlisted on Sc
curing the religious divorce
Had ArS Wolf neglected 10 get the
religious divorce she could not be re-
married by an orthodox rabbi, even II
the divorce had been granted In the
civh courts. The Judges were assured
that the action In the civil courts
would result IN Mrs. Wolf being
granted q divorce. Mr.. woh was much
affected BY the proceedings, and. be-
fore the trial was concluded, was 90
overcome that he faintsd.
Ten persons are required 10 be pres
enf at the trial for q religious divorce.
Three Of them serve e. judges. The
Judges at the trial were Rev. Dr.. Shat
fer. Rabbi II. Bearman and Mr.. l.
Strauss. The law requires also that
the writing Of the enforcement be in
encsent Hebraic characterk As Mr..
Wolf was unable 10 perform the task
. skilled Hebrew writer, Mr.. Isaac
Coin, wrote the decree. One Of tie
remaining persons served as q substi-
tute for the husband In delivering the
writing Of divoreemsnt from him to
his wife.
Two Of the witnesses were required
TO sign the decree. and the three re-
manning persons served a. witnesses.
The judges did not hear the evidence
In the case In detail, but confined
themselves TO accepting the general
statement made by the vite, Who said
she had found It impossible to live
with her husband. The husband as
sented 10 the granting Of the decree.
AMER considering the case the judges
decided 10 grant TIE divorce. II q civil
decree IL also granted both win be per-
United TO marry again The trial
lasted about two hours.

| (As the once famous oarsman appears
today
He was born In Toronto, Ont, and
learned to row almost as early as he
did to walk. His racing career dates
from 1872, when he won two single
scull races. Hanlan rowed his first
race out Of his own country in 1876 at
Philadelphia, and won three heats in
as many days. He also cut down the
record for the three-mile course to 21m.
9s. In 1878 he won the championship
OF America by defeating Evan Morris
over the Hutton course at Pittsburg.
He also defeated Charles Courtney the
same year.
The next year Hanlan Journeyed to
England and Africa He surprised the
people Of the other side by defeating
their crack professionals, Hawdon and
Elliott In England, In 1879. he gave
his first exhibition as a sculler Over
nve-mile course be cut the record
from S5m- los to 3Sm- 66kA
The next year Hanlan won the
championship OF the world and the cup.
The next year he won from Laycock OF
Australia, previously defeated by him,
and became the owner Of the famous
Sportsman's cup. In July, 1883, he
broke the worlds record for four
miles. making II in 27m- 671ks. In 1884
Hanlan met his first defeat at the
hands Of Beach. losing the champion
ship Of the world through the inter
ference Of the steamer Tonki. He was
defeated for the second time by Beach
the same year.
Hanlan went after the three-mile
record the next year and succeeded In
lowering IL from Ism. SIS. to Ism. 23s.
In 1887 Hanlan lost the championship
OF America to Gaudaur at Lake Calu-
met, Pullman. III, A return match was
later made with Gaudaur and again
Hanlan won the championship Of
America Going to Australia once
more. Beach again won from him and
turned the title over to Kemp, who was
successful In defending It Since 1898
Hanlan has done little rowing, barely
enough to keep himself IN condition,
most OF his time being devoted to
coaching. He Is now coach for the
Union boat club Of Boston.
During his career as a sculler Han
Ian has rowed in 200 races, and Of these
only four were lost By him through
out-and-out rowing. In nearly every
case In which he failed to finish first
II was through some accident. In Aus
tralta he was defeated by Beach, but
the latter was 50 rowed out at the I'm
ish that he was carried from his boat,
and this in his own climate and on the
river In which be had been accustomed
to row. Nearly 100 OF Hanlan's races
have been for the championship. In
these matches alone his earnings were
over 1000. and these and other races
and exhibitions Melted him at least
