DIVORCE.
'''''','

For lady of her character position
and age, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
takes rather liberal view on the
subject of divorce. Some might per-
haps even say that her views border
on laXity.
She discusses the matter frankly In
the current issue of the North Ameri-
can Review, and suggests that women
should be represented on the commits
sions proposed in the various states
to remodel the marriage and divorce
laws, since the interest OF women In
marriage and divorce Is fully as great
as that OF the men, If not greater. II
judges and bishops are placed ON
these commissions she is convinced
that their disposition would be to make
the laws more restrictive than they
are now since the men OF these call
inGs are proverbially conservative
and thus render II more difficult for
wives to escape from unhappy mar
riages.
Mrs. stanton believes In large free.
dom of divorce. She says the states

which have liberal divorce laws are to
women what Canada was to the run
away slaves before emancipation. She
looks at it from the woman's stand
point, and believes that the woman Is
more often the victim of illassortod
he Is unhappy IN his domestic rela-
lions, has a recourse and o solace in
the world outside. but to the average
woman the family life is ALL and If
this is unhappy her whole lie is
clouded,
Mrs Stanton holds that the mere
reading OF the marriage service does
not signify that God hath joined the
couple together, and that only those
marriages which are harmonious,
where the parties are really com
panions to each other, are in the high
est sense made by the Divine Ruler
But what shall we say, she asks, "ot
that large class OF men and women
who marry for wealth, position, mere
sensual qualification, without any real
attraction or religious sense of loyalty
toward one another You might as

SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS.
Much Business Disposed of at Third
Days Session.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 19.-The third
day session of the Southern general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church was
opened with devotional exercises. Over
lures were received. some of which re-
lated to the hymn book question, pro-
testing against the hasty adoption of a
new book.
An overture was offered asking the as
sembly to inaugurate a twentieth CEN
fury movement to raise at least $1,000 for
the permanent work of the church.
An invitation was extended the assem-
bly, from Broadway church, Fit. Worth,
Tex, to hold the sessions of the assem-
bly, in that city In 1901 This question
will be considered as the first business
at the opening session next Wednesday.
w. A Alexander, the treasurer of the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church OF the United States, made his
report to the Southern assembly for 1900
The report showed a balance of 81, 265 in
the treasurer's hands. The report of the
ad interim committee on the invalid fund
was read by Prof. Francis R. Beattie
D. D., showing methods in use in other
general assemblies of the Presbyterian
church, regarding the care of the invalid
workers in the church and the work
which has been accomplished by the
Southern assembly were contained in the
report.

NIGHT SCENES.

LONDON, May 19.-London tonight is
in state of carnival, so far as the thor
ougnfares are concerned. The liberation
from toll of hundreds of thousands Of the
working classes in the afternoon to some
extent changed the character of the cele-
brations which in the forenoon had been
marked by the absence of disorder and by
many graceful incidents, more especially
in the West End. Col. Baden-Powels
house, which faces Hyde Park, was all
day the center of scenes which must have
been extremely gratifying to his family,
who constantly appeared on the balcony
to bow their Acknowledgements. In addi-
ton there was a continuous stream of
carriages bringing visitors leaving cards
of congratulation.
When the great procession, which was
of great length, being joined by mem
bers of the best society, stopped in front
of the house, his mother and sister came
to the window, being evidently greatly
moved. His sister fetched a large pic
ture of the colonel. mounted on an easel,
and placed it on the balcony. When the
cheers stopped for minute, the colonel's
mother addressed the assembly, express
ing heartfelt thanks to the demonstra-
tors. At about this time a beautifully
appointed CquIpdS6 drove along, III
which there were three ladies, each at
tired in the national colors-red, white
and dive The anarmng~ effect of this
and similar incidents gave a picturesque
tone to the festivities.
Everywhere were professions and va
rious bands in carnival or khaki attire,
with pretty. girls or youths collecting
money for yarie1s funds connected with
the war. There must have been millions
of flags sold during the day. The whole
city was covered with them. There were
little other attempts at decoration, but
the effect is noyel to Londoners.
Tonight, although the excitement is less
in intensity, the crowds are hourly
thickening, until it is almost impossible
to pass through the streets, and the
scenes of the queens jubilee are far
eclipsed. The crowds are mainly com
posed of people IN rough attire, who, after
indulging in cheering, found amusement
in hat smashing, throwing paper and
confetti and in various kinds of horse
play, making the streets hideous with
the noise of tin trumpets, concertinas and
other musical Instruments, and in Great
ing ugly rlshes along the thoroughfares.

ONLY SNrvivor of
N5e Wdr OF 1917.

Over 100000 men We're enrolled in the
American armies during the war of 1912
OF this vast host one single man remains
on the pension rolls Of the United States.
This lonely veteran is Hiram Cronk, of
Dunn Brook, Oneida county, a man l5O
years old.
Mr.. Cronk was born on April g. 1900,
at a humble home in the town Of Frank
fort. Herlimer county. He came of
sturdy Dutch stock, Of a family which
has won fame through litigation to re-
gain the CrOnk estates in the Fatherland
In the early childhood of Hiram the fam
lily moved to Wright Settlement. about
two and a half miles from the city of
Rome. There the family lived about ten
years, the boy attending school and help
ing about the chores. From Wright Set
Element the Cronks migrated to a farm
In the town Of Western, then practically
In the Wilderness, and in that neighbcr-
hood Hiram Cronk has spent the greater
part of his life In 1887 he bought about
lou acres of land on which he erected
the house wherein he now lives with
his only living daughter, Mrs. Sarah A.
Rowley.
Before Hiram was fifteen years old his
spirit was reused over the issues of the
brothers, John and Jephtha, he enlisted
in the United States army and went to
Sacket's HarbOr, where he served about
1OO days. Hiram was so young and of
such slight build that the other soldiers
tried to joke with him, saying that, if
need be, his father could pick him up
and carry him to place of safety. But
such an act was unnecessary, for in a
skirmish with tbs British the youthful
soldier carried himself so well that Capt
Davis, who had command of the troops,
said if he had a regiment of such SOL
diers he could go into Canada and fight
the enemy on their own ground. For his
services in the war of 1912 Mr. Cronk
gets pension of IS a month. He is one
of Agent Orr's pensioners on the rolls Of
the Buffalo office.
After the war the Crohks went home,
and Hiram took up the trade of itinerant
shOemaking, going about the countryside
and repairing the footwear of the people
in their own dwellings. He generally
made the trip twice a year, and thus
kept the farmers boots in condition for
wear.
When twenty-five years of age Hiram
met his fate and married her in the per-
son of Mary Thornton. For sixty years
they lived happily together. She died in
1885. Six children We're born them. Five
of them are living. One son lost his life
in the Civil war. OF grandchildren and
great-grandchildren Mr.. Cronk has about
score

Efforts Making to Have Them Rec
Ognized in Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The Boer
delegates devoted most of their time to-
day 10 receiving visitors and attending
to their correspondence. So far the state
department has no knowledge of the
character of the credentials born by the
envoys, in fact it does not even know
that they have credentials of any kind.
Col. O'Beirne, who, some months ago,
vanly sought recognition as diplomatic
representative of the Boer republics, be
ing refused on the ground of his Ameri-
can citizenship, Yesterday appeared at
the state department in the interest of
the three delegates who were then on
their way to the capital from New York.
Col. O'Beirne had previously had a short
talk with the president, who directed him
&c the state department. Secretary Hay
listened to Col OBeirne's presentation
of the reason why the United States gov
eminent should act to bring the war to
a close. Col. O'Beirne felt that the mere
direction of the United States would suf-
flee to induce England to cease hOstilities.
He argued with a good deal of eloquence
in support Of this content ton, but with
out convincing the United States officials
that the government could intervene in
the manner proposed without becoming
at once involved as a party to the war
for such a request directed to Great Brit
ain being in the nature of an ultimatum
would require to be enforced even to
the point of hOstilities in case the ex-
pected happened and England refused
our request. 1t can be set down as GER

our government is not to request Eng
