To Lieut.-Col. Orowder, his mil
itary secretary, he will assign many
duties heretofore devolving upon the
Adjutant- General.
This step is taken in view of the
increasing Importance of the post of
Governor General. Gen. Mac ar.
thurs policy appears to involve con-
siderable decentralization.
He will give, to his staff authority
in matters of detail and will devote
himself largely to questions OF poll
cy.
So far there has been no develop
ment of the rumor circulated last
week of a coming uprising Of natives
in Manila. Many Filipinos did leave
the employs of Americans under a
proclamation from the insurgent
leaders declaring that the United
States Congress has done nothing
for the Filipinos, and that therefore
all Filipinos who work for Americans
must suffer the penalty of treason.
1t does not seem probable that the
peace proposals which SenOr Buen
camino has drawn up will have muct
weight with the Filipinos, owing tC
a widespread suspicion of his loyalty
to his Filipino colleagues.

JEWISH DIVORCE
Granted According to the habninicAi
Law Of the Taimud.

Law of the Talmud.
A scene in real life recalling in some
respects the famous diyorcement de-
picted by Israel zangwin in his Chit
dren of the Ghetto" was enacted in
Baltimore when Mrs. Lera C. Wolf
was granted a divorce according to
rabbinical law from her husband.
Maurice Wolf, says the Baltimore
Sun
The trial took place at 653 West
Lombard street, the residence Of Rev.
Dr. S. Shaffer, rabbi OF the Green stlset
synagogue. A suit for. divorce between
the couple is now pending in the civil
courts of that city The cid Talraudic
law, however, requires those persons
who have been married according to
the orthodox Hebrew ritual to be di-
voreed also by the religious law. For
this reason Mrs. Wolf insisted on Sc
curing the religious divorce.
Had Mrs. Wolf neglected to get the
religious divorce she could not be re-
married by an orthodox rabbi. even If
the divorce had been granted in the
civil courts. The Judges were assured
that the action in the civil courts
would result In Mrs. Wolf being
granted a divorce. Mr.. Wolf was much
affected by the proceedings, and. be-
fore the trial was concluded, was so
overcome that he tainted.
Ten persons are required to be pres
ent at the trial for a religious divorce.
Three of them serve as judges. The
judges at the trial were Rev. DR.. Shat
fer, Rabbi H. Bearman and Mr.. l.
the writing of the enforcement be in
ancient Hebraic characters As Mr..
Wolf was unable to perform the task
skilled Hebrew writer. Mr.. Isaac
Cohn. wrote the decree One OF the
remaining persons served as a substl-
tute for the husband in delivering the
writing of diyorcement from him to
his wife.
Two of the witnesses were required
to sign the decree. and the three re-
naming persons served as witnesses.
The judges did not hear the evidence
In the case in detail, but confined
themselves to accepting the general
statement made by the wife, who said
she had found 1t impossible to live
with her husband The husband as
sented to the granting OF the decree
After considering the case the judges
decided to grant the divorce. II civil
decree is also granted both will be per-
mitted to marry again. The trial
lasted about two hours.

a WONDERFUL MEMORY.

What is undoubtedly the most re-
markaole memory on record is that of
R. c. Gill. the veteran superintendent
Of models in the patent Office at Wash
ington. Mr.. GIL has charge of 400. 900
models of United States inventions
granted during period of over 100
years. These embrace the most compli-
Gated pieces OF machinery and the
most fancitul and intricate novelties,
the workings of any half dozen of
which would tax any ordinary brain
to remember, yet Mr.. GIL has such a
wonderful mind that he not only com
prehends Immediately the mechanism
OF any intricate model whenever 1t is
brought into his Office. but he can also
describe off-hand the mechanism of
anyone Of the old models when he is
called upon to do so. Not only this.
but almost invariably he can tell with
out consulting records. the name of
the inventor OF each model and in
what year it was patented. Mr.. Gill
has been in the patent office for more
than quarter OF century, and has
written number OF useful pamphlets
about inventions. He has served in
every commission which the United
States has appointed within the past
twenty-five years to prepare patent

LINCOLN AND MCKINLEY EQUALLY &C.
CUSED OF FOSTERING A SPIRIT
OF MILITARISM AND
IMPERIALISM.
All Liberty, Political and Person.
al Would be Lost Forever
Said the Democrats, if Lin
coin were REFLECTED.
SAME CHARGES NOW BEING HURLED
AGAINST PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.

Read the following extracts taken from
speeches, from editorials, and from party
platforms in 1864, and then tell If you can
what the difference is between the copper
head of the sixties and those who are now
shouting themselves hoarse over expansion,
imperialism, and all the other imaginary
evils which Bryan and some of his followers
have trumpet up. Then when you have
read those bits of history turn to the ex-
tracts taken from the speech made last Fri
day night by one of the strongest bishops in
the Methodist Episcopal church, in the Chi
cago auditorium.
Bishop Charles III. Fowler knows the
American people well enough, and can read
history we'll enough, and understands the
times we'll enough so that he does not hest
tate to say that the time will come, and per-
haps not so very far distant, when the
memory of President Mckinley will be re-
vered as much for the work which he has
been instrumental in doing in opening up
the east to the civilization and the christiani-
cation Of the west as is that of the immortal
Lincoln today for the work which he did
for humanity.
But you know and we all know how Lin
coin Is regarded by the whole civilized
world today, and when few of the follow
ing extracts are read it should not be diff
cult for any reader of THE TIMES to see
that when he was doing the work for which
the whole world loves him now he was just
as fercely assailed as is our own God fear
ing and God-serving president of today.
Who would be proud to think today that
he was numbered among those who said |
such things of LincolnP Who will be any !
prouder ten, or even five, years from now to |
reflect that the things which the copper
heads of the war time said about President
Lincoln were no worse and no more entirely |
