MS ERIous DIVORCE CASE.
That of the Daughter of the Late
 Bishop Littlejohn.


 The late Bishop Littlejohn was the strictest sort of churchman. He was stern in his treatment of those who trans gressed, and when his daughter, Eleanor Maud Littlejohn. sued for and obtained divorce from her husband, Al1net F. Jenks, now a justice of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, the bishop is said to have felt the blow keenly.
 The pair were married in 1878, and for a time lived happily. Ten years later, how ever Mrs Jenks left her husband, and soon afterward applied for and secured a divorce in the courts of Rhode Island, one O. the chief witnesses for the plaintin being Bishop Littlejohn himself
 In order to set himself right In this mat ter before the world, Bishop Littlejohn convened a high ecclesiastical court, made up of Bishop Williams of Connecti- cut Bishop Potter of New York, Bishop Scarborough of New Jersey, and Bishop StorlSey of Newark, and laid before them all ths facts of the case. This court of bishops after a careful consideration of all the facts, rendered decision that the marriage between Almet F. Jenks and Maud E. Littlejohn was null and void ab initio, and that "the status of the said Maud E. Jenks in respect to the law and discipline of the church is the same as though Sucn marriage Ildu not lahen place." This decision created a sensa- tion, as it was generally agreed that the whole case was without precedent.
 The discussion regarding this remark able Thigh court and its still more re- markable decision had not subsided when,' on April 29, 1891, the marriage was an- nounced of Elmet F. Jenks to Miss Leo nora Barre, a daughter of ex-Register William Barre, of Kings County. The wedding was solemnized quietly at the residence of the brides parents at No. 3S2 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn The union was blessed by the birth of son April 19, 1892.
 After the divorce Miss Littlejohn = the decree had permitted her to resume her maiden name-lived very quietly with her parents for some time, going little into society. In December, 1896, however, she was quietly married to the Rev. William Parke Bird one of the canons of the Gar den City Cathedral and private secretary to Bishop Littlejohn. The bishop 1t Is un- derstood. opposed this marriage, but in the end withdrew his opposition when 1t became evident that his daughter would marry MT. Bird without his consent.
 MT. Bird Is said to be fifteen years younger than his wife, he having been 23 when he married her and she 3S He had been connected with the Garden City Ca thedral about seven years, and during most of that time had resided at the see house in order to better perform the du- ties of private secretary to the bishop.

Porters Say No "Tips" Less Than 2sc

From the Chicago American.
 Pullman car porters have formed a union- The public will be induced to as- sist more generously than ever before in providing each individual porter with his modest stipend.
 The minimum fee expected by the DOT ter in return for his manifold courtecies was 25 cents.f This rule prevailed for many years, but lately the tip has de- creased to 10 or 15 cents. Fewer and few CT became the number of Pullman car porters who graduated from the realms of parlor cars to the luxurious ease of corporation stockholders and heavy prop erty owners.
 According to the unions plans the man or woman who tenders anything less than g cents to a porter will have his tip refused with scorn. The courtesies to which travellers have become accustomed will disappear unless this standard is kept up There are about 1000 Pullman car porters in the organization.

Mr. Darwin will have to look to his
laurels. Here's Professor Haeckel, of
some where or other, stoutly maintain
ing that the ape is descended from man,
not man from the ape. He points with
a convincing flourish to the cases of
children who, when lost in the woods,
haye taken to monkey habits. That
settles it. And when they are lost on
desert islands and take to the water and
live on little fishes, that proves that the
pelican, also, Is descended from man.

President Roosevelt's promise to carry

President Roosevelt's promise to carry
out the policy of his predecessor, as Mr.
Mckinley outlined 1t in his Buffalo ad
dress, should not fail to include the
making of reciprocity treaties covering
the articles of manufacture now pro
duced by trust monopolies. If such pro
tected industries are sufficiently strong
to fight for the markets of the world
why should they remain hedged about
by protective tariff intended to foster
"infant industries" against ruinous for
eign competition?

When President Schwab of the steel
trust declared against higher education
as pathway to success, he was simply
giving an example of his own lack of
education and general information. A
rather crushing proof of this appears in
the latest edition of "Who's Who in
America" This book Of reference con-
tains ,55l names of persons whose
successful careers have brought them
into prominence. The educational data
of $3.50 only appear in the book. OF
this number 452l are graduates of
universities and colleges; 965 others at
tended like institutions, but were not
graduated, and 135 took the equivalent
of a college education in the national
military and naval academies. Only 1929
ended their education with the high
school, and sos have merely a common
or public school education. The re-
mainder report themselves as having
normal school, theological seminary,
academic, or other secondary school
educations. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Schwab advised dogs to enter business
from the common schools.

mostly under ground; Chicago is net
