lean Athletic club. says the Chicago
American. This organization Is to
compete In all the important contests
held abroad. It's membership Is to
consist mainly. n not entirely, OF men
or Irish birth or Irish descent It IS
an Interesting and extraordinary fact
that a collection OF the best Irish ath-
letes In the world would constitute the
pick OF all the worlds strong men.
One member OF the 1rish-Amerlcan
Athletic club recently acquired Ia John
Flanagan. the holder OF the worlds
record for throwing the sixteen-pound
hammer. Another member IS p.
'o'Connor. the holder Of the worlds
record for the broad jump.
This extraordinary energetic Irish
man has jumped twenty-five feet and
ono-half inch. Measure II out on the
ground and you will see what that
means Everybody knows that an
Irish-American athletic association
would naturally include such athletes
as John l.. Sullivan, MIKE Donovan,
Corbett, Jeffrles. Terry McGoyern-in

proved their ability TO overcome their

excels In those particular games in
which victory Is due not to muscular
force. but to mental energy. There are
thousands OF men that can lift heavier
weights than could be lifted by the

The state statlstican o, Indiana has
done an important service Of sociology
by compiling the statistics OF mar
riages and divorces throughout tho
entire state. II the same work could
be done. and done as thoroughly, In
every other state more exhaustive
study OF the divorce question would be
possible. and the needs OF uniform
legislation would be more apparent.
The reports of the statlstician show
that during the year ending June 80.
1901, the total number OF marriages
in the state was 24.OO7. and the total
number OF divorces granted was 5000.
or about 10 per cent Undoubtedly
some OF these divorces have been
granted. but Il is extremely doubtful
whether such large percentage OF
marriages as this should have been
annulled. Other statistics are also Of
interest. The divorces granted 10
wives were 1867, to husbands $50. and
this is about the proportions In other
states. II does not follow from this
that women are more prone to rush
into the divorce courts than men. The
causes explain the numerical differ
ence. or the total u,96D divorces
granted to wives 1872 were for abando-
ment by husbands and 9O1 for cruel

Astounding revelations OF the mis-
conduct Of the police force OF Chicago
continue TO amaze the public. II was
generally suspected that the depart
ment, through some OF It's commanding
officers. is a patron OF the criminal
classes, shielding them from prosecu-
ton in return for money or political
assistance This was dignihed and
honorable business compared with the
position in which the most recent
charges have placed the department.
II figures now not as the protector, but
as the tool Of criminals. The accusa-
ton is made by one OF the soc etles for

sergeants forthwith sent out men from
the stations to warn the criminals.
This Is in some respects the worst
charge that has been made against
the department Not only does II con-
nive at crime. but II deyotes its ener-
giles to a systematic defeat Of the pro-
cosses OF the court. II Is apparent
from the manner OF the men under
suspicion that they are in no terror

blow.
"You think you will win Blanche and

guarded rancor, "but you might as well
renounce your intentions; she'll never

He stood like a stone and watched

but he seemed too deeply stunned to re-
