MARRIAGE IN FRANCE.
More Than Half the Men and Half the
 Women Unmarried-Benef1t o1

| More Than Half the Men and Half the Women Unmarried--Benef1ts of Homes.
 It is a mere truism to say that the welfare of the individual, of society
 and of the state, is best served in mar riage, and by early marriage, too. The fact has been established for forty years that the death rate among all
 married men over 20 years of age is less than among unmarried men, and
 that the death rate among all married
 women over 25 years of age Is less than
 that among unmarried women. The
 home being the cornerstone of civilized
 life, society Is enriched by the multi
 plication of homes, and impoverished
 when they are not in normal proportion
 to the total population. Only within the
 past few years has world wide atten-
 tion been drawn to the startling fact
 that the wellbeing of a mighty nation
 is menaced by the predominance of celibacy. More than half the men and half the women of France are unmar- ried. The foreign immigration into France is to-day greater than the nat ural increase of it's own people,
 The excess of births over deaths in any year among those many millions amounts to only about one half of the population of Newark, N. J. The re- suit is that while other nations of Flu rope are rapidly increasing in popula- tion, France is almost stationary While a century ago Frenchmen com prised fifth of the European popula- ton of the world, they now form only tenth of it. The importance of their country as world power is not grow ing Their international commerce lags far behind that of other nations. How empty is the boast of rattle pated ora tors that France will some day glorious ly avenge Sedan when she can add only 900 conscripts a year to the army, while 500,000 recruits are annually en- rolled across the Rhine. We shall speak later of the mistaken motives, the pol
 icy, ruinous alike to the citizens and the state, that induce many of the French to restrict the number of their 1 children, and half of them go through life unmarried. France is to-day an ob- ! ject lesson from which the whole world | may derive warning and instruction on ! the questions of marriage and the fam fly, those greatest of social influences , From Ainslee's.

FOR A NEW SEWER IN HOME
 PLACE.

Hearing Before the Committee Last
 Night.
 At the meeting of the sewer commit tee last night the petition for the abol- lshment of the old private sewer in Home place and the building of a new sewer there was heard. Health Officer Wright appeared and spoke strongly in favor of a new sewer there. He said that the private sewer now there is in a most unsanitary condition. It was built when the Home Insurance com pany erected the two big blocks on Home Place many years ago.
 w. E. Chandler, who owns property there, but does not live there, thought that new sewer was not needed while Tax Collector Anthony, who owns two houses there and lives there was very much in favor of a new sewer.
 No recommendation was made last night, but the committee will meet again two weeks from tonight.

COPPER DIVIDEND IS CUT
s(Continued from First Page.)


 Knd, so far as this country is concerned,
 Ire still so, every copper wire, brass
 6fid Electrical manufacturing concern
 Being run to it's full capacity. A large
 hroportion, however, of the copper pro-
 4uced in this country has to find
 1l1arket abroad. The unsatisfactory
 Trade conditions which have existed
 4uring the present year in Europe, to- &etker with the fact that the supplies
 6f copper to Europe from sources out
 id& this country have increased, have Jointly caused a falling off in exports &f About 65 000 tons. This decrease has
 III some degree been compensated for ESby increased domestic consumption.
 By adopting the policy of maintain f5flg a firm price large proportion of the loss arising from the decrease in ex- ports has been borne by the companies Whose shares are owned, wholly or in QArt, by the Amalgamated Copper com |13aY1y. This policy has in the past been fhe best for these oompanies, as the DOT E3i0n of the copper which has been sold [}lAs realized larger profit than would 6ave been realized had all the copper (Which had been produced been sold at f3 much lower price. It has likewise pre- |Svented fluctuations, which would tend $fO demoralize the business of manufact- Ea1rers consuming copper.
 The officials of these various compa- mis6, after carefully considering the sit
 AAti0n in all in it's phases, decide that would be better, in the interests of &he companies they represented, to re- xfaln from forcing upon the market more copper than was actually needed, 6s such action would only have led to Abnorrnally low prices. The selling S{geflts of these companies were, there- More, Instructed not to attempt to force &upon the market more than was actu- E&lly needed for consumption, but to H3f1afntain a firm price, If officials of 8nther copper producing companies had EHken the same view of the situation
 Fad n1aintained a firm price there is 3ittle doubt that the present unsettled kc0nditions of the market would have Ebeen in part, if not wholly, obviated.
 During the present month the Unit EI4d Metals Selling company the selling {agept for the companies in which the " kmalgamated Copper company is in- |Hterested, has, notwithstanding these Sconditions, sold considerably over 1O0,- E400,0 900 pounds of copper for future de- liyery.
 During the past two years the com fanies in which the Amalgamated Cop beT company is interested have equip &p4d their mines and smelters with the #1atest Improvements and much modern \ *1Abor- saving appliances, and most of ENthe companies have built the largest /. and best equipped shelter in existence. 1 |rhis can be put in commission early in k(eA new year, so that from now on the | &cdnipanies can produce copper at cost !, {tklat can successfully compete with any | IcoPper producer in the world. The fu Ftufe prosperity of the copper business Edepends largely upon such revival of F4oreign trade as will bring the total ScOnsumption of copper nearer to the Aproduction than is the case at pres Nett,

The Conduct of LemIy.

(From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
In his effort to accomplish this evident
purpose, Judge Advocate Lemly has il
lustrated a temper that is wanting in ju-
dicial pose. disposition that is anlmat-
ed by personal vindictiveness. and a pro-
fessionaI taste that has emphatically
shocked the American peoples sense of
decsncy, to say nothing of their sense OF
justice.
His conduct from the opening day of
the Court when he was promptly re-
buked by Admiral Dewey for referring to
Rear Admiral Schley as the accused
instead of as the applicant" has been
uniformly and distinctly unbecoming and
unfair His examination and cross-eX-
animation of witnesses has been conducted
with the ardent partisanship and insOleut
bravado of a police court prosecutor; and
his controversies with the applicants s
counsel have been marked by a puerili-
ty that might be amusing if 1t were not
deSpicable.
'Tis indeed pitiful that an Office in which
there should luhere dignity and high
nindedness and a certain superiority to
the contemplate methods of weak or
mean men. should by the conduct of
partisan judge advocate. be thus lowered
in public estimation. not only in America
but throughout the earth.

the failure of that strike. It is hard
for such a movement to succeed with

that there should be no discrimination

A report from Berlin states that the
new Austrian tariff bill, which is new
complete. quite equals the German In
high protective duties. This shows how
pointless is the claim put forth by ex-
treme protectionists in this country that
it viii be impossible for European coun-
tries to combine against US because OF
their own rivalries and antagOnisms.
They can reach the same end without
combining. ii the leading Powers, each
acting independently of all others, puts
up the bars, the effect upon our exports
to those countries will be exactly the
same as If they were in combination for

As a rule the Republican journals Of

Another Suggestion.

(From the Louisville Courier-Journal)
There is a surplus Of revenue; there is
a demand for tariff reduction. there is
the usual opposition to tariG reduction
by the thick -lnd-thin prOtectionists. Sec
ing this condition of affairs. the brewers
step forward with the susgs stiUn that
what the country really needs is the
pleasuring of the brewers by a still fur

The only assumption upon which the
chart apparently can be explained is that
it represents clearly and accurately what
the fleets at Santiago might have done
had they done something else than what
they did. Viewed in this light it is per
haps the fleets. after all. and not the
chart which should be criticised. The
chart, at least is Official and If the
warships had lived up TO II instead OF pro-
ceeding on erratic lines of their own de-

and authentic historical record
