Park BENJAMIN on Schley.

Park BENJAMIN on Scnley.
Jan. Park Benjamin, who has been
personal friend Of Rear Admiral Schley for
many years, was asked regarding the ad-
miral's plans for the future and the report
that friends of Schley would ask congress to
vindioate him by retiring him full pay
and reimbursing him for the expenses Of his
trial
Congress-" Mr.. Benjamin said, "has gone
back to it's constituents. The representatives
have gone home and will get the opinion Of
the country on the whole matter. When they
meet again In Washington they will have
received instructions from the people who
elected them. I think Admiral Schley is
waiting for that. don't think he has made
any plans or will until after congress has
expressed its opinion or taken Its choice OF
the various plans that have been suggested.
Twenty five or thirty bills looking to some
recognition of schley have been introduced.
l don't thing Schley himself will do anything
in connection with them. He does not want
to press himself before the public, but will
wait and see what is the pleasure OF con-
gress.'
Thebaud's Stolen Jewelry.
The police found more of Paul Gilbert The
baud's iewelry-$600 worth-in a local pawn
shop, but they did not catch Edward Kern.
the valet who stole Mr.. Thebaud's $50, 900
worth of diamonds and pearls, and apparent
ly they are not very close to that energetic
young man. Captain Titus had to admit to-
DAY that the different leads he had been fol-
lowing since Sunday night had all failed,
but just the same, he was still confident that
he would get the valet and the banlance OF
the Stolen jewelry before long. Less than
half Of it remains with Kern, but the lot
includes the $4,000 pearl
CAPTAIN Titus learned to-day that Kern

ing last, when the newspapers were full of
the big robbery and everybody was talking
about It, but he was strolling about the cor
ridor of the Hotel Rossmore at Broadway and
Forty second street A funny thing about this
is that the hotel and its neighborhood are
favorite haunts Of central office detectives,
and usually one or two are to be found there.
But Captain Titus had every available man
on the lookout for Kern Monday morning,
and, therefore, none Of them could afford to
waste time around their favorite rendezvous.
In Justice to the detectives, 1t must be said
that Kern has managed to get rid OF his pre-
maturely gray hair. When he last appeared
in public his gray hair was dyed oiack -Whicn
may be why he was able to walk around anu
leave town when he wanted to without inter-
ference.
Heber Newton on Divorce.
In a sermon on ''The Family" Rev. DIR.
R, Heber Newton spoke at considerable length
Sunday on the questions of marriage and
divorce In time the church might prepare
persons for marriage as it now does for con-
frmation and communion. 1t sufhces 10
saw, he declared, without attempting to
reconcile the discrepancy, that the teachings
Of Jesus permit of no divorce, with the
possibility of an exception for one cause.
For SUFFICIENT cause there is no bar In the
teaching Of Jesus to a separation of husband
and wife. What he opposes resolukely is the
| second marriage Of persons who have separ-
ated. It is no wonder that this teaching
offended His hearers In His day, II still
orends us In sourss day. But Jesus does not
confourld an ideal with a law. He holds dis
ltinctly before men the ideal Of the family.
