MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Episcopal Delegates Mt Snn Francis
90 Discuss the subject,

san FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-The
question Of marriage and divorce was
before both houses uf the tripnnial con
vtntion Of the Episcopal Church OF
.\neTcA yesterday. The bishops adopt
ed Il substitute for The proposed canon
81 providing for the discipline of per-
sons marrying again after being di-
vorccd. The principal change made by
iht substitute is the provision that such
person may receive the sacrament on
the written consent of a bishop.
The house of deputies began the en-
gerly awaited debate Of section 4 of
the proposed canon SO, which virtually
prohibits the remarriage in the church
of divorced persons. The discussion
will be continued Oh Monday. The only
vote reached during the day was on Il
proposed mod feat ION of DR.. Hunting
tons amendment providing for deter
mining ill" cause Of divorce in the case
of divorced person applying to be
married. This was defeated.
Five missionary bishops We're voted
for and named by the house of bishops
to tie house of deputies, where the
final election must take place.

AT Media, an interesting will
case is being tried in the courts.
The mother of L. S. Marshall John
b. Robinson died some time aro
and by will left her estate 10 her
son, the U. $. Marshal. The coz.
testants are trying to prove that
she did not sign the will. She was
very liberal to MIR. Robinson dur
Ing her lite, and no doubt intended
that he should have the bulk OF her
fortune at her death. But there
are others who think differently.
and they are trying to get the court
to set the Will aside.
Its an old story that mans lnhu.

thousands mourn. Few lust wills
are made. 1t is never wei! TO wait

are remembered Tor their deeds.

lines exhibit similar symptoms. Lum.
Der advances in price because the de.
mand exceeds the supply. Steel, fuel,
wearing apparel, etc, all enjoy great
activity. 1t is not excestlonal to hear
that all previous records are being sur
passed. Labor is well employed at
good wages. and the buying power of
the people is more than sufficient to
meet the advance In the cost of living
of 4.G per cent over prices prevailing a
year ago.
Scarcity of ears retards freight move
ment but railway earnings for Septem.
Der were 10.1 per cent larger than in
1900 and ia per cent above 1899.
Wholesome activity is still the fea-
ture at iron furnaces and steel mills.
Footwear shops are still producing at
full capacity not only In the old estab.
lished New England factories, but in
this state and at the west and south.
Quiet conditions prevail in the dry
goods market not because of light de-
mand, but through the strong views of
sellers. which prevent export sales as
we'll as domestic business.
Slightly better relative prices have
been established by the leading cereals,
wheat making fair gain, while corn
lost a little of its EXCEPTIONAL strength.
Nothing of interest has transpired as
to the domestic wheat situation; har-
vesting progresses satisfactorily and
mills are grinding at n liberal rate.
There is no evidence of holding back
for higher prices.

THE members OF the Board OF
Assessment. Revision and Appe a | S
deny the statement made by the
Board of Trade that the special
assessors are increasing the valu-
alton OF property, and particularly
the plants of Manufacturers. We
know all three OF these gentlemen
and we think they are trying to do
what is right in this matter. We
think they would not raise an ass
essment which, iu their judgment,
was already high enough. They
have raised the assessment on a
good many properties and lowered
it on others.
1t hardly oeems possible that any
property could be found in Viii.
mlngton. which has not been ass
essed high enough. They must
be the exceptions TO the rule. We
can tell instances where the prop
erty are assessed several hundred
dollars more than they would bring
at public or private sale. But lt-
tie things like high tax rate do
not trouble the property owners n
this city, they are used to it.

is compelled to 60 outside Of Viii.

is not true, and further the Board
OF Education does not know what

can say in ali candor that II some.
thing IS not done soon there will be
one OF the biggest rumpuscs kicked
up IN the school board tnat this
city has ever before seen. The

the FOURTH.

One hundred and twenty-five years
ago today an old gray-haired sexton
sat in the belfry of Independence Hall,
Philadelphia. He had been waiting
for hours for the signal to ring out the
joyful news that Congress had passed
the Declaration of Independence. With
the sun, his hopes were sinking, and he
said to himself, "'fhey will never do it. a"
His patience, however, was finally re-
warded-they had done it. The signal
came and the tongue of the dear old
bell rang Liberty throughout the
land, to all the inhabitants thereof"
The voice of that bell on that day
was heard around the earth. and the
tidings it sent forth marked the birth
of Freedom, for it shattered the fetters
of three millions of colonists. That
was the beginning of the era that was
destined to make all men free.
This is the glorious Fourth-the an
niversary of Liberty's birth-the day
we celebrate. Let us do it right.
