In Trenton. n. J., yesterday Edward A.
Garcin of that city was granted a divorce
from his wife, the latter being formerly
known as Miss Helen Spiers, and was once
a resident of Washington. Mrs. Garcin is
well known here and was Mr. Garcins
second wife. Each sued for divorce, he
on the ground of desertion and she for
alleged cruelty. The opinion of the court
is that the mere fact of accusations con-
corning the husbands alleged conduct
could not be construed to mean cruelty, so
the decision given to Mr.. Garcin. The
court ignored the suit of Mrs Garcin

Blind Tom at the Columbia Theater.
After a long period of retirement Blind
Tom, the musical wonder, will appear at
the Columbia Theater tomorrow Sunday
evening, October 6, at S:15 This wonder
full prodigy of the south has performed in
every city in this country and in Canada
and Mexico. He was also a big sensation
in Europe some years ago. From the re-
ports Of those who have heard him this
year his performance is in no way dimin-
ished, and he is the same wonderful Blind
Tom who delighted and charmed his au-
diences in the past. An interesting feature
of his entertainments It's his limitations
Some noted professor is usually requested
to come forward and play difficult clas-
steal piece. Tom listens attentively and
at the close of the performance sits down
to the piano and repeats the composition,
usually without error oE change.
His musical powers are marvellous. He
depends solely on his hearing. but his play
ing the piano is SO perfect that any one
would judge that hes.had eyes with which
to see the keys. He never strikes false
note and his ear is as quick to catch sound
as his fingers are minnie with the KEYS.
There has surely newer been his equal His
entertainment is, like him, unique and one
that must be heard to be appreciated. and
when once heard can be heard again and
again.

HE MIGHT BE SAVED.

There was a somewhat pitiful case in one of the criminal courts in Indiana re- gently when a boy only l3 years old was sent to the penitentiary for life for the crime of murder. The judge would not sentence him to be hanged, on account of his youth, but stated that the boy had exhibited such evidence or total oe- pravity that there was no hope or re- formation in a reform school, and he had no alternative but to send him to prison for life.
 sucb a case as this is one of the dif- Acult problems of criminology. It might be that the boy could be reformed oy proper means. and 1t may be that ne x;lI give such evidences of reform as will entitle him to a pardon III 'he future, but 1t really seems cruel to seho A mere child to prison during life which may be prolonged for many years hle imprisonment is a terrible doom, even when imposed on a mature person, but .his boy may live threescore or more years. dead to all the world but him salf with no comfort In the present ana no hope for the future.
 It is difficult to imagine a boy or 10 so thoroughly depraved that there IS no hope of reforming him. Ordinary chi- dren of that age have minds easily in- huenced by their surroundings and asso- ciates. and unless we believe in the doctrine of total and unredeemable de- pravity we can hardly admit that this hoy is past redemption. Memo repente fuit turpissimus-"No man ever became extremely wicked all at once, JuVenal tells HIS. and we find it hard to believe that a boy just in, his teens has in herited such a load of wickedness that there is no chance to save him, or that he is a living denial of Juvenal's theory and is already extremely wicked, or that his childish heart is locked against all the good influences which; might be brought to bear on him. S..;;is
 As we said, 1t may be pdssdbIe athat this boy will show such evidences or genuine reformation as will procure nardon for him, but the chances are equal that prison life will only confirm the disposition to do evil which now ap- pears to dominate him. All the same there ought to be places provided where boy criminals like this might be res +raired and subjected to such influences as might save him. It is sad case as 1t stands.

Honor to Americas French Allies.

Baltimore News.
 1.-The effort to ascertain and preserve the names of all the French officers, sol diers. and sailors who aided the United
 States in securing independence is an 4nteresting and commendable instance of that spirit which has of late years re- suited in so many movements to preserve the historic memorials of the patriotism' of past generations. Without French aid, it is doubtful whether the thirteen colo nies could have broken away from the rule of England. Washington and his off, ficers appreciated that and gave every praise and honor to Lafayette and his companions but there have since been periods when the French might have felt that the gratitude of the United States, was not lasting It is therefore of inter national significance that Colonel Chaille- Long, a Baltimorean. should have spent several years in Paris perfecting an ''honor roll' of our allies under the di-i rection of a commission headed by Am, bassador Porter. As an outward sign of the present friendly relations between the two nations, it is pleasant to note, that Colonel Chaillc- Long has founded a French branch of the Sons of the Revo-, tuition. which already includes the names, of the Lafayettes and Rochambeaus or today:

THE OTHER EXTREME.
The Birmingham Ledger remarks;

The cation crop is out of the way now and the farmer can sit down and make figures to decide whether 1t is better 10 produce cotton to sell once a year or to produce something to sell every month in the year To most people that does | not seem like a problem at all, but there are farmers right here in Jefferson who | raise cotton.
 The intimation contained in the above Is that Alabama farmers ought not 10 plant cotton. but that would bring about l n state of affairs not less objectionable than the present. That farmers make a mistake when they devote so much Of their land and their attention to cotton to the neglect of all other crops IS plainly evident to any one who has to purcnase foodstuffs in our cities. The price of meat. lard, meal. potatoes and other necessities is an eloquent protest against the system of farming which fails to take into account the fact that man must eat as well as wear clothes.
 But if cotton growing should be wholly or largely discontinued the farmers of Alabama would be in a worse condi- tion than they are as it Is. If the eX- 
 tansiye farms of the State should be wholly or principally devoted to food crops there would be no market for the immense quantities which would be grown and money would be almost an unknown luxury in the pockets of the agricuIturalist. All the same, the farmer who is now buying meat and corn Is paying dearly for his indulgence in one crop farming, but it really seems that of all lessons which our people should learn that of growing their own food is | hardest. Cotton Is always a money crop, but when it takes from one and a half to two pounds of cotton to buy
 one pound of bacon the money all goes | to the hog raiser. But to abandon cot ton entirely would be going to the other extreme and would be the ruin of the | South.

An Editors Dream.

Centreville Press.
 The Stars had an appointment to ap- pear in grand pyrotechnc display last Thursday night, but they failed to put in an appearance at Centreville. We dreamed that the hero of the disturbance, the venerable Charlie Shelley, had re- tired to his ante-chamber to tinker a little on his powerful claim telescope, while "red-headed Joe took fiery dart toward the oil region in Texas, and gave out that he would be heard from just before day Sunday morning. "A change came OCT the spirit of our drcam." and we cast our eye toward the East, and we saw Jess Stallingss legs all tangled up with the Seven Stars. one of which his off-leg had kicked so blue, trying to straddle the Milky-Way we could count but six of the far famed Group. So we gave up the search in that direction, and we took a glance at a point a trifie East of North and we saw Denson with his Skillet, and rams horn to his lips footing for squad to go with him pos
 sum hunting" Here " a change disturbed our dream" and we hailed, Hello Judge
 whither a-way?' II am going to joir Joe and Jess. who are searching for the Grave of Moses!" We bade him good | bye and peeping through the sky-hght we beheld the General adjusting the lenses of his over-strained political horo. scope We awoke, and the visions of the night vanished.
