CAUSES OF DIVORCE.

in the republic of Argentina, in South
America, divorce is unknown, though
it's place is taken by what is called

one of a number of causes, including
cruelty and ill-treatment. Under the
laws of the republic no widow can re-
marry for ten months after the death
of her husband, or after securing
personal separation

In Japan the causes Of divorce are
all in favor of the husband and against
the wife. Thus, one of the principal
causes is the disobedience of a wife

MINNESOTA NEWS.
An Historic Table that Becomes Of
Public Interest.
Made by Minneapolis Children, 1t Has Fol-
lowed tho Career of VIM. Mckinley
With Strange Fortunately.

The South Side high school of Min
neapolis is the owner of an oak table
which has followed the career of Will
lam Mckinley for nine years. The
table was made in 1892 in the manuel
training department of the school, and
presented to the national republican
convention held in Minneapolis that
year. Mr.. Mckinley presided and used
the table. Mr.. Downey leaned upon
the table when he prophesied that Nc
Kinley would be elected president in
1896.
In 1896 the table was carried to St.
Louis, and was there used by Senator
Thurston, chairman of the republican
convention which nominated Mckinley.
In 1900 the table was taken to Phila-
delphia to the national republican con-
vention. and a second time was WILL
lam Mckinley nominated over it.
On each of these occasions silver
plate was bedded in the table to mark
the part it had taken in the political
history of the country.
And now a fourth plate will be
added. The table was sent to Buffalo
as part of the school exhibit from Min
neapolis, and President Milburn, OF
the Pan-American exposition, will be
asked to add the fourth plate, record
ing it's presence at the exposition when
Mckinley was assassinated.

admitting that the British and French
navies are larger.
Our relations with foreign officers
are very cordial, and the very strength
of our navy will insure us long period
of peace. While I have great pride in
our navy, I am confident that the in
terests of the world in the future lie
in the direction of peace. Not only
does Christian civilization shudder at
war, but as financial question it is
becoming impracticable. The cost of
preparation to-day is more than any
nation can bear. When to this you add
the still greater cost resulting from
loss of business, destruction of com.
merce, and the general upsetting of
all industries, the total reaches an in
calcula BILE figure. 1t will be disgrace
to civilization and a discredit t o human
ingenuity and judgment if after solv-
ing all other great problems it cannot
solve the problem of international dis
putes in some way less clumsy, brutal
and costly way than by killing and
bloodshed and the destruction OF life
and property.

President James j. Hill Showed Rail-

One of the most versatile men in tn e
country is James j. Hill, president OF
the Great Northern railroad. He ha s
a comprehensive grasp of the details
of railroading that few men possess.
Since he began to pay close attention
to the financial side of railroading pub
lie attention has been somewhat di-
verted from the other phase of his
management. An incident that oc-

Mr.. Hill is as practical as ever. While

road his train, which was going down q

to alight when the train stopped after
running several rods along the ties.
He found that the locomotive had beer

crew to place the engine back on the
track. Jackscrews were used, but the
men did not seem to thoroughly under

"Your jacks won't lift it when in that

lence dangerous to life, "ordinary vio-

A COMPLEX PROBLEM

Bishop Potter Discusses the Momen-

Grave Sides.

The process of assimila ton to which
the American people have given, in
the last few years, the force of prac-
teal policy quite naturally concerns
itself in special way with the Ha-
waiian islands, first of the insular
groups to come under the protecting
folds of the stars and stripes. In the

Guiding his impressions of these is

they present and which this nation has
undertaken to solve.

the music suggested the outlines OF his
instructive paper. The singer at

erected on the site. The little wood
en- cottage which stood in the garden
and was used by Swedenborg as a
study and for retirement and refec-
ton was carefully preserved, and is
now one of the chief attractions at
suburban park called Skansen.
Swedenborg died in London in 1772,
and was buried in the cemetery that
surrounds little Swedish Lutheran
chapel on Radcliffe highway. In
March, 1923, an Englishman claimed
to have his Uranium and offered to sell
it to the Swedenborgian society.
They considered it blackmail, and re-
fused to have anything to do with
him, but there was good deal OF agi-
tation in the papers at the time.
After the excitement had quoted
down the grave was opened and the
body was found intact.

says the Chicago Record-Herald, is
Rev. Mr.. Bjorck, formerly of Elgin
and Aurora, Ill.,, where he will be we'll

father was the foreman of mine, his
father was professor of theology
in the university and afterward a
bishop. In early life he himself was
a mineralogist and a mathematician.
He wrote books on iron and copper,
which are still regarded as standard;
he was the author of the first Swed-
ish algebra and wrote a treatise on
geology which was quite ahead OF
his time.

and found guilty. He was then hung
at the yard arm of his own ship, and
after being allowed to swing there
for some time his body was thrown
into the sea. It was afterward found
that he was convicted on false tes-
timony.
Hon. John Byng, British admiral,
was also charged with the same Of
Tense. The court-martial acquitted
him of cowardice, but decided that
he had not done his utmost when in
charge of the British fleet at the
siege of Minorca. Sentenced to death,
he was taken on the quarterback of
his own flagship, file of marines
was drawn up and Admiral Byng was
shot.
One of the most extraordinary
cases in American naval history, al
though it did not involve an admiral,
brought about the most sensa tional
court-martial in this country. A COM
mander of small American warship
returning from Europe, when only
one days sail from Sandy Hook, had
two of the midshipmen hung at the
yard arm. One of these young gentle
men was the son of the then secre-
tary of war.
An immense sensation was pro-
duced when the warship arrived in
New York. A lengthy court-martial
was held in Brooklyn navy yard, pre-
sided over by Admiral Charles Stew
art, grandfather of the late Charles
Stewart Par0eL.
