There Is But One National Movement
for Memorial for Late Pres
ident Mckinley.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 21.-There is but
one national movement in The United
States for a memorial for William
Mckinley to be built by popular sub
scription. That memorial will be
erected over the grave of the late
president at Canton. The work of
securing subscriptions is in the hands
of the Mckinley National Memorial
association, with headquarters in
Cleveland o. Some confusion in the
public mind has resulted because
there existed an organization in
Washington, ID. c., known as the
"Washin gton Arch association" It's
object was to build memorial bridge
over the Potomac river. The Arch
association no longer exists, having
voted to go out of business and leave
the field to the national Organization
having headquarters in Cleveland.

association, eX-Secretary of State

A recent issue of the Chicago Chron-
icle contained an illustrated article on
Christmas Green's" in which the vast
amount of trees, garlands, etc., were
described Most of the fir trees come
from the Maine woods, garlands of
lycopodium from Minnesota, bamboo,
holly and mistletoe from Virginia and
Georgia, and small quantities of very
fine mistletoe and bamboo from Mis-
sissippi, whence it is shipped by
Northern settlers" Now, why can't
our own young people earn their
Christmas money at this pleasant
work? 1t requires no capital and can
be turned into the jolliest of frolics if
the gathering of the woodland beau
ties be made a nelghborhood affair.
And surely it must bring fair remuner-
alton when "a puny, scraggly, bruised
little branch of pine brings a quarter"
in Chicago! The writer has in mind
a farm in this State in which certain
''old fields" are literary Overlooking

trees extend in all directions their
sturdy arms, heavily laden win

tiers of crimson berries. Scores and
scores of old oak trees bear tons of
waxen mistletoe and the household is
made up OF splendid young people who
could-if they would only think of it
gather each year a Christmas harvest
and clear therefrom goodly sum.
There are thousands of homes and
farms among US like the one have

selves and grasp these opportunities

ROBINSON VS.. ROBINSON.
Judge Jesune Declares California
Divorce Invalid in England.


New York, Nov "a case involving
the question of validity of American d.
vorce under English law has been heard
by Sir Francis Jesune in the divorce
court. 1t was the case of Robinson VS..
Robinson.
Petition was made by Ethel Gertrude
Robinson. otherwise Strickland, that her
marriage with Edward Ernest Robinson
should be declared invalid.
Attorney w. A. Barnard said the petit
toner went through the form of mar
in Christ church, Westminster The re-
spondent left his wife in 1898, and in
quiries then made showed that he had
been married in 1878 to Miss Hawtrey.
in Hampton church.
In 1879 he went to America and stayed
there with his wife until 1888. when he
returned to England. He remained in
England until down to the time when he
went through the ceremony of marriage
with the petitioner. In 1887 the first mar
riage was dissolved by the superior court
: in the state of California.
The judge declared that it was clear
that the divorce granted in the state Of
California was not valid under the laws
of England. Had it been granted while
the respondent domiciled in America. 1t
would have been binding. There was no
doubt that the second marriage was not
a valid marriage, and the judge granted
a declaration to that effect, with costs
for the judgment Of the petitioner accord
