their plans for leaving Grinnell, Iowa,
and moving to New York, where, 1t is
said, Miss Rand will be married to DR..
George d. Heron, the noted Socialist
DR.. Heron is now in New York and
the Rands will go there in few days,
having sold their extensive property
holdings in Iowa The Judge who
granted the Heron divorce refused to
sign the decree until the check for
100000 was in his hands. The Rands
were received coldly on their return
to that place.

ron divorce case. She has purchased
house on Fifth avenue and Forty
fifth street in New York. where DR..
Heron is residing.

important industry in the near future.
An experimental farm, established
under French auspices, in the vicinity
OF Heliopolis. has successfully demon
strated the suitability Of the climate OF
the Delta for this purpose, and during
the present season the number of birds
of all ages has reached the respectable

by means of cheap rabble, and are

AS the United States pays no civil

Mrs Grant and Mrs. Garfield are each
recipients of $4,000 year as the wild

were surviving last year four widows
of soldiers who fought in the RevoIu-

eighty-four. No doubt some widows

young women have married aged pen

Phenomenal Time Made Between Aus
 tralia eud Liverpool.

Railway men are congratulating each other over the phenomenal speed attained by trains over the Central Pacific, Union Pacific, Burlington, Lake Shore and New York Central lines, by previous arrangement last week, and the dispatch of Australia mails from New York Saturday by the steamship Campania. The world's s mail record between Australia and Liverpool will be broken if the Cam pania meets with no mishap. Sev- eral days will have been cut off from the best previous record.
 A special took the mails at Chi cago, steamed ont an hour and a half behind the fast New York mail and overlook the train at Toledo, equaling the regular mails fast time and run ming fourteen and two-thirds of mile per hour faster. The mail ar rived at San Francisco by the Ven tura, one of the new Pacific grey hounds of the Oceanic Steamship company, which had made unparall- eled time from the antipodes.
 z John D. Speckles, president of the company, conferred with Carleton c. Crane, Pacific coast agent of the New York Central lines, and by telegraph an arrangement was made with the eastern managers to expedite the transmission of the colonial mails. which left Saturday noon on the Campania for England.

His Greatest Speech.

President Mckinley has never been known, during all of his extended public career, to make tame, unim
 pressive, unmeaning address, but it Is at least an open question whether he has ever in the past excelled the great speech delivered at the Pan American exposition on the 0ay before he was shot by an assassin. It is as nearly a masterpiece of earnest ex- pression, deep thought and clear enunciation of broad, patriotic Amer icanism as it is possible to conceive.
 The address has in its every line the ring of the most all-embracing, far-sighted statesmanship, and its ex- pression of the policy of the adminis- tration is so clear, so explicit and so generous that it cannot but meet the approval of all men of thought, un- blinded by partisan prejudice. Not one word in it, from beginning to end can, by any stretch of the imagina- ton, be construed into anything but the utterance of a man intense 7 American and profoundly patriotic.
 Mir. McKinley's review of the won derful progress of the nineteenth cen tury on this, the threshold of the the twentieth, will bear the closest study. His tribute to the enterprise of the press of the United States that chronicles events almost as soon as they occur, no matter in what part of the world they may happen, was graceful and certainly most thorough ly deserved. His statement that ''no nation can no longer be indifferent to any other" sounds the keynote to re- cent republican principles, brought to perfection by the triumphal entrance of the United States into the great position of pre-eminent worlds power, and is in sharpest contrast to the mar row exclusiveness of Mir. Mckinley's recent political oponent.-Ex.

American Divorces.

An important case testing the valid ity of the United States diyorces in Canada came up for hearing recently in Toronto. Minnie Woods, the de fendant, is charged with having been married on Canadian soil for the sec ond time while her first husband was alive, the divorce having been ob- tained in Detroit in the belief that the first marriage was thereby annulled. The crown authorities take the view that when a Canadian who is married in the dominion goes to the United States courts to obtain divorce he or she on remarrying in Canada during the lifetime of the former husband or wife must face trial in case informa- ton is laid. The decision is awaited with much interest.
