UNIFORM MARRIAGE LAWS.
Amendment to the Constitution May
Result from Roberts Case

Amendment to the NOHStAtutioh NAAS
Result from Roberts Case
One result of the Roberts case is the
determination of certain Congressman to
press the passage of uniform marriage
and divorce laws in the several States.
OF course, a constitutional amendment is
necessary and about dozen Congress
men and several Senators have lntroduc-
ed resolutions proposing to submit the
subject to the State Legislatures. In the
House the judiciary committee has charge
of the matter and its chairman, Kay Oh
New York, is interesting himself person
ally to obtain a favorable report at this
session.
lone of the first bills | introduced
when | came to Congress some years
ago." said Chairman Ray, was one pro-
posing an amendment to the constitution
for uniform marriage and divorce laws.
1t is nov possible for man to have four
or five lawful wives in as many States.
That is approaching pretty closely to
legaliZed polygamy. Each one would be
his only lawful wife in the State in which
he married her. The police of New York
could not touch the man in Pennsylvania,
etc, and he could run his marriage trust
with impunity.
THE Roberts case has had the effect
of not only attracting attention anew to
the polygamous practices of the Nor
mons in Utah, but of directing notice to
those anomalies Of our marriage and di-
vorce laws. | believe in striking while
the iron is hot and | think the agitation
over Roberts will result in favorable
report from this committee on one Of the
resolutions and in its adoption by the
House.
1--WE would have had a favorable re-
port on this subject two Congresses ago,
but one of the Southern members de-
manded that the constitutional amend
ment include prohibition of miscegena-
ton, or mixed marriages between black
and whites. His State had a law on
this point, and he did not want a United
States law that would permit such mar
riages in contravention of the State reg
ulation."

What a "Snitch" Means,

The definition of the word 'snitch"
was definitely settled under oath to-
day in the Circuit Court by J. G. Chas-
tine, a negro, formerly politician.
Chastine was witness for the plaintiff
in suit against the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company. Frank P. Walsh,
attorney for the road, asked him:
Joshua, what is your business?"
ssI'm connected with the legal depart
ment of the firm Of Jamison & McVey,"
replied Chastine.
What are you? One of those ambu.

lawyer to bring suit for damages? II

CUBAN CENSUS
Is Completed and There Is a Popula-
ton of 100000.

Is Completed and There Is Popu1a-
ton of / 100000.
G. I'll. Olmstead, the assistant director
of the Cuban census, with four statisti-
clans and supervisors who had been work
ing for the last several months in Cuba,
are now in New York. They brought
with them twenty-four boxes of records,
all of which were sent to Washington.
Manuel Rasco, who was the supervisor of
Havana province, did not accompany his
colleagues to Washington. He said that
loo enumerators had been appointed,
all of whom were Cubans. Many women
were allowed to act as enumerators, and
Senior Rasco said that they were much
better than the men.
The result Of the work indicates that
the Spanish census taken in 1887 will
probably have to be reduced by about
100000. Thus the present population Of
Cuba will be about 100000 The cost
to the Government of taking the census
will be between 100000 and $4,000.

AT THE JOYFUL
NEWS MISSION
Evangelist McComb Spoke Last
Night on the Triumph of
the Christians.

The evangelistic services last night at
the Joyful News Mission were well at
tended and an earnest address was de-
livered by the Businessman evangelist
j. l.. McComb.
The text was taken from Romans s:
80, the subject being Christian
Triumph"
The speaker said in part: "Is this
the same apostle who so lately cried
out, % wretched man that I am. who
shall deliver me?' who now triumph
antly exclaims who shall separate us
from the love of Christi? Yes. It is the
same, panied then with the thoughts of
that miserable conjunction with BODY
OF death. and so crying out who will
release me or bring me deliverance?
Behold! help was laid on one who was
mighty to save, the great Deliverer ap-
peared and now he is forever united to
Jesus with ties which cannot be sunder-
ed.
who shall separate US from the love
OF christ? Here then is an inseparable
union. an everlasting love, which moth
ing can destroy. When he regards him
SELF, the great apostle to the Gentiles
sees himself a poor miserable. undone
wretch. He looks again and sees him
self In Christ and then he abounds In
riches, safety and happiness. He glories
triumphantly over all the fleeing pros
poets and the annoying adversities of
the world; he lives and moves and has
his being in Christ, therefore he is hap
by and is enabled to laugh at his enc
mics.
Who shall separate us from the love
OF Christ? Shall tribulations or distress
or persecution or famine or nakedness
or peril or the sword? 1t is God who
1ustifieth. who then is he that con-
demneth?"

over honey which the toad was in.

the toad out of the tree, and in re-
venge the toad drank up all the water
on the earth, leaving the birds dry

"Can cats swim2 was asked OF an

any to kill it was by drowning. SO
