In discussing the question of
whether the church should recognize
the marriage of divorced people, it
would seem the part of wisdom to
give serious attention to the subject
docs marriage promote virtue" If
it should be decided that marriage is
stimulant to virtue, could the church
afford to block the road to a yirtuous
life on the part of divorced people by
refusing them the ordinance Of mar
riage. From a secular point of view
this bar to the poor creatures, marry
ing again if they want to would
appear OF doubtful eXpediency, still we
appreciate how dangerous it is for a
rank outsider to NEEDLE in ecclesiastical
matters, and don't offer this point of
view as suggestion that the church
need feel under any obligation to act
upon,

The most notable event of the past
week in the state of Wisconsin,
especially in the field of natural
history, was the birth of a baby
elephant at Baraboo, this state.
Here it is that the Ringing Bros.
make their winter quarters. 1t has
been claimed that elephants could
not be successfully bred in this
country. and while this one example
to the contrary may not disprove the
general allegation, it at least raises
such doubt in the minds of enter
priSing shOwmen that it would not
surprise US in the least to see half
the tent shows in the country turned
into elephant incubators. The rage
will probably sweep the country like
the Belgian hare fad.

France is now in a delirium of
admiration for that rugged and
crafty old representative of the
Dutch South African Republic,
Dom Paul Kruger. If Germany and
the other European sympathizers of
the Dutch show SO much spirit of
hostility to the grasping proclivities
OF the English as the demonstrative
Frcnchman does, England will have
reached that critical stage of her
history that her numerous enemies
all over the world have long sighed
for--hcr decline and fall. The chances,
however, are that the high tide of
English hostility will be reached in
Paris, and will ebb with Dom Paul's
further travels. The star of empire
now attracts the attention of the
world in China, and after the Kruger
incident has subsidized, the birds of
prey who have SO long lowered over
that dying state will again resume
their exciting scramble for choice
pieces of the carcas.

The Indians of the United States
seem to be doing fairly well in their
transition state from savage 20 a
civilized life The commissioner of
Indian affairs wv. A. Jones Of Mineral
Point reports 268, 900 of the nations
wards. There is in the treasury the
sum of $33, 900, 900 to their credit, and
in addition to the income from this,
the government is rich enough to pro-
vide them with blankets and bullOckS.
OF the more then $1O,OO0,000 yearly
spent upon the Indians, more than
one-third is devoted to their industrial
education. The government main
tainS 250 schools, with accommodation
for 10000 of the $4,000 children, and
the enrolment is steadily increasing
The report recommends the cOmpul-
sorry industrial education Of the
Indian and the subsequent turning
him loose to earn his own living.

GET THEIR TIPS FROM CROOKS
Bank onsciais rake Means to Protect
 Their Treasure from Thieves.

It is said by police official at city hall headquarters that some of the city banks, whose hoard of surplus cash has been increasing largely Of late
 have been experimenting with an ez- pedient long i'll use by the Bank or England officials of paying known crooks for information of any eontems plated raid upon their vaults. The Bank of England's first experiment o1 this kind dates from 1850, whsn the directors of the bank listened to a startling proposition made by a sdlteh digger" The laborer told the directors that he had discovered new and un- suspected method of getting into the cellar vaults, where the gold and sll- yer bars were kept, and that he would sell his secret to them for money. The directors hesitated, believing that they had taken every precaution against loss from the vaults in putting up heavy masonry, with plenty of iron bars, and by manning the building with armed watehmen. But finally they granted the man, who seemed to talk fairly, a chance to try his plan, and a night was named for the undertaking. At the appointed time a committee of the directors descended to the cellar and heard 2 peculiar scratching sound under their feet. Two hours later the floor opened and the ditch digger bobbed up sereneiy, like the evil spir- its in the spectacular drama. All around them lay bars of precious metal, totaling in value 93,000,o00- The man explained satisfactorily how it was done and as a reward the direc- tors assured him an income from life on an investment of $10,000 The crook was content and it is believed he remained honest ever afterward. But other cracksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and the directors were inundated with sugges- tions and tips on new methods of bur- glary and how to prevent them. Among other things, they paid S20,000 for process, invented by 3 young chemist, for copying the ink, paper, water marks and designs of the bank notes so perfectly as to defy detection. The directors found they could use his sys- tenn more satisfactorily and more proftably than their own in the pro- duction of their currency Despite the fact that these expenditures have run up into big figures in the last half century the directors of today say that all the money was well invested.

Famine in British Eass Africa.

The famine in British East Africa IS a serious one The protectorate ofil- cials have been put to sore straits to provide food for their snbordlnates, and in some cases the garrisons nave been fed very largely on the game which the officers could shoot. The distress and disaffection among the na- tives is taking some very unpleasant forns. Recent travellers over the Uganda railway report that in places the line has been torn up by the na- tives, thus causing great delay both in the passenger traffic and in the transport of stores. It is probable that the natives in some way connect the present scarcity with the making of the railway, and it must not be over looked that the employment of ten or twelve thousand Indian coolies on the construction of the line may have ma terially affected the local supplies of food stuffs. The unusually low Nile which is reported from Egypt points to a severe drought in the Upper Nile regions and in the Abyssinian high lands.

SHE cHoKED A LYNX TO DEATH
Arizona Girls Brave Battle with Brute
 That Attacked Her.

George J. Manassa of this city, who has been spending the past two months at Kingman, Ariz., tells an interest ing story of a case of heroism in a young girl that came under his obser- vation, says the Kansas City Journal He said that one day while there a ranchman, j. A Carrow, brought into the town for medical treatment his son Murray, years old, and his daughter, IT years old, who were frightfully la cerated by the teeth and claws of some animal, and the rough usage showed upon the boy in wounds upon the arms, hands and the breast and shoul. ders. Upon inquiry he learned that MT Carrow was d wealthy ranch owner living about twenty-five miles north of the place and that the two children had been lacerated by a lynx that had attacked the boy and had been strangled to death by the girl, ''Ihe boy" Mr. Manassa said, was playing in a swing in an almond or chard near the house, when fero- cious lynx sprang upon him and pulled him to the ground. A life and death struggle then took place between the little fellow and the animal, Taking the lynx by the ear and one leg he succeeded in throwing it to the ground and holding it there, screaming for help The lynx was biting his hand in a horrible manner, but with Spartan courage he held on until his sister came The animal had got the bet ter of the boy when the girl, with only her naked hands as weapons, gave battle. She struggled with the in furiated brute and, although he elawed and bit her, she never released her hold until she had it pinioned to the ground by her knee and death grip on it's throat.

PRESERVING CLIFF DWELLINGS,
Movements to Turn Colorado Region
 Into a National Park.

Movements to Turn Colorado Region
 Into a National Park.
 From the Denver Republican: As g result of a meeting held recently at the residence of Henry Van Kleeek 8 bill making the cliff dwellings region in the southwestern part of Colorado national park will in all obability be introduced at the next convention of congress. Congressman John F. Shaf- roth, Judge George T. Sumner, Booth Malone and Dr. Camden M. Cobern, with the host, constituted the meeting Congressman Shafroth went over the details of passing such a bill, and the other men present, all of whom have been on the ground, recapitulated all they personally gathered concerning the interesting ruins below Durango Granting that the people living in the agricultural country contiguous to the cliff dwellings made no objections to the settine aside of the land contain ing these prehistoric buildings, and he had received almost an assurance that they would not, MT. Shafroth saw no impeachment in the way of passing the bill. Maps and pictures of the ground and ruins were carefully gone over and studied While the dimensions of the area were not specified, it is thought that fifteen miles, running northeast and southwest, by four or five miles wide, will include the most important ground without infringing on any pre- cious minerals or agricultural land. MT. Shafroth made copious notes to take with him to Washington and will work for the passage of the bill He advises that no appropriation be asked for in the first measure. It will be sought to make some provision for the care-tak- ing of the ruins. Excavations must be made scientifically and will be restrict ed by license. Mir. Shafroth will try to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian institution. The matter will be pushed with all possible speed. At the present time tw large exploring parti@~ of 100 members each are being organized -one in San Francisco and one in the east-to visit the Mancos canyon and excavate in the ruins.
