Decree In Divorce Granted.

Judge NJ. S. JoRes returned from his
orange grove and plantation Tuesday.
While away several persons in our town,
among whom the editor of THE STAR was
one, received a number of kilograms ask
ing for information in regard to the suit
of Duncan G. Pell, of New York, for
divorce from his wife, Anna Ogden Pell,
wanting to know if decree had been
granted and upon what grounds. 1t
turns out that the decree was granted
just the same day the judge left here last
week for his plantation. The case must
be an important one as the New York
Herald was very anxious to secure the
information.

An employee of the Chicago Tribune

cidedly TO his advantage. In the last
years of his life Mr.. Medill did not
spend much time in Chicago and took
no active part in the management Of
his paper, but when he was in the city
he went to his office pretty regularly.
He knew all the old faces, but few Of
the new ones, and it was too late in life
for him to accustom himself to them.
He never knew to whom to give copy"
that he wished printed if the managing
editor happened to be absent. On one
occasion he handed some to q repre-
sentative of another paper who chanc-

been employed on The Tribune some

THE ref 81 of the state senate to con-
firm the nomination of Hon. G. d. Law
ton as one of the state tax commissioners
is an outrage, and an insult to the republi-
cans of staunch and stalwart old Van Blu
rem county. No man in this county stands
higher in the estimation of his party,
and few men in the entire state are so
well equipped for the duties of the posi-
ton. Governor Bliss is to be commend
ed on his refusal to withdraw Mr. Law
tons name, and the senate has earned the
indignation of the members of the party
in the most reliable republican county in
the state The True Northerner has no
sympathy with the small and petty spite
against the governor that was response
BILE for turning him down. We would be
pleased to have the governor refuse to
send in another name for the place.
There is no reason nor excuse for the
action of the senate.

in Japan. to which her husband was
minister from Great Britain:
The absence of snobbishness and kin

very clearly upon one. There are two
characteristics Of the Japanese which
stand out very boldly. Home life is
paramount. and the possession of mon
ey is but lightly regarded. Any one
who would pretend to be richer than
he is would be calmly avoided as a
fool. Money is not spoken of, the alb
sence of it is not apolcgized for. A
person living I'm n poor way gives a
guest all he has to offer and is not hui
inflated at having. to show his power

you with his riches. He shows you
one beautiful object from his collection
at time in an empty room, only beau
tiful through its perfect proportions,
coloring and cleanliness. These people
travel through life so lightly weighted,
their requirements are SO few in the
material order, that they seem as inde-
pendent as the swallows and fly where
we, weighted down by the commlssariat
Tor our artificial wants, can only creep.
But they hold invisible things very pre-
cious. Honor and self respect. the love
Of their children. the harmony of the

commonwealth of learning. these are
things for which they will sacrifice

Because They Want It.

One of the latest arguments used by
the people of South Haven is that by
placing the county seat at that burg the
value of real estate will be increased so
per cent, for 20 miles to the east in the
county. This is used to induce the farm
ers to vote for South Haven. We fail to
see it, and SO do many of the farmers.
There are a few voters who think the
court house ought to be located at South
Haven just because they do most of their
trading there.
But many others are taking a more
sensible view of the matter, and will vote
to have it remain where It's, rather than
to remove it to the most remote corner of
the county. Then too, South Haven
citizens are anxious to have the appro-
priation voted down. They do not ex-
plain why, Nor do they give any lucid
reason why the county seat should go
there beyond the fact that they want it.
The Messenger and Sentinel are very
quiet and do not push the matter very
hard.-Bangor Breeze.

A Seaport for the County Seat.

The South Haven papers have been
conspicuous by their silence on the
county seat question. The silence has
at last been broken and the Sentinel of
last week came out with four columns
ostensibly on the county seat removal,
and copies of that paper were sent far
and wide throughout the county, giving
it circulation unheard of before. But
why this waste of paper and ink? In
the four columns the whole argument
for removal could have been expressed
in dozen lines. And what is that ar
gument? Why, it is this: That South
Haven is on the lake and so convenient
Of access to the markets of Chicago.
Shades of Methuselah! What has that
to do with the removal of the county
seat? If that is all South Haven has to
say, continuance OF silence would have
been better. Why did not the writer
also say that especially in the resort sea
son, the expense of jurors and other
court visitors at South Haven would be
far greater than at any other town in the
county? That would have been fact
worth telling. As we have elsewhere
said, this question of removal is to be de-
cded Oh business principles and the con-
illusions from such principles are not in
favor of South Haven.-Hartford Day

There is valid foundation in the claim
that the county has been for all these
years doing business in buildings built
very largely at the expense of Paw Paw.

that she shall have the benefit of new pub
