AN IMAGE BREAKER.

There are a great many delusions
that gain credence among the Ameri-
can people, and among intelligent peo-
pie. too, that give way only to absolute
proof, if they ever give way at all
Sometimes they move only to the field
of controversy, and it becomes mooteS
question whether they are decisions or
truths. One of the notable American
beliefs that has just been disputed Is
the theory that as people we live
under a tremendous business pressure
and that in consequence our lives are
shortened by nervous strain and slight
attention to health rules. especially in
cities.
But Frederick l.. Hoffman, the insur-
ance starlstican, has studied the matter
from the cold and logical standpoint OF
mortality statistics, and be asserts that
there is no truth in this, and that as a
matter. of fact this country shows
greater longevity than almost any other
civilized country.

Cookery and Divorce.

kCHlCdSO lTlDuIc.J
The statement of Mr.. Ernest P. Bicl1-
nell, general superintendent of the Chic
ago Bureau OF Charities. that poor cook
cry and slovenly housekeeping were the
direct causes of 400 divorces in this city
last year is calculated TO make the
"judicious grieve" besides casting doubt
upon the practical value Of the science of
sociology. The statement upon the sur
face is startling one, and yet it de-
mands credence because 400 deserted Sis
tiers applied to the bureau for assistance
and assigned the reason as stated why
their liege lords had deserted them.
Such being the case. 400 husbands fav-
ing fed from their households because
they could not endure the cookery and
the housekeeping, what will the socioo-
gical scientists do about it? It is aseri-
Gus matter that is up to them 1t is
one not to be settled by theories or
speculations. II 400 have fled in Chicago.
how many have fed in other cities? It
is not likely that poor cookery and poor
housekeeping are confined to Chicago
Evidently here is a fruitful cause Of the
severance of the domestic tie. Instead
OF agitatinS longer for making divorce
more difficult or for making divorce le-
giSlation uniform. would it not be well
for the sociolosists, and the settlements,
and the Hull houses. and for organiza-
tlOuS Ol NOlnell, from the "OTnaD'S club
to the Colonial Danes. for women are
mainly concerned, to begin agitation of
strenuous sort OF the removal of the
particular cause for divorce?
Granting that the way to the hearts of
most men is via their stomachs and
that most husbands affections are more
Or less permanent according to the cook
cry, and the management Of the domes-
tic menase, would it not be well for the
nnumerablc female organizations to
drop for a time the consideration Of the
liberal arts, philanthropic reforms and
world movements. and strive to induce
their sex TO study the uses of kitchen
ranges, brooms, faith ons, busters, need
les, thimbles. and other articles, the
proper use OF which makes home happy
and husband contented? 1t is said that
it is So but If husbands will not be at
listed with poorly cooked dinners and
iil-managed homes, if some of them will
so off to the clubs and others quit alto
gether, something ought to be done about
ii, and who Should consider the matter
more earnestly that the women's orsani-
cations, which have. in way, declared
their independence of man and their
freedom from domestic duties by recoc-
nizing them no longer as absolutely
binding?

7 HE B|GCAR RIAL.
Mysterious Disappearance of
a State Witness Creates
a Sensation.

FREEHOLD, n. J., December 20
(SpcciaI )-Tremendou excitement was
aroused at the trial of Miss Laura Bigger
and her alleged co-conspirator to obtain
the Bennett estate to-day when an
nouncement was made that the States
ser. ant girl witness. Mollie Disten, had
mysteriously disappeared from the Amer
lean hotel.
Partisans of each side arc making &C
cusa tons against the other. Partisans OF
neither side are inclined to accept as true
the statement by the hotel people that
the girl resented the confinement to which
she was subjected by the lawyers for the
prosecution and took the first opportunity
to escape.
The air is full Of alleged statements
which the girl was expected to make for
the prosecution. Mollie Disten is the
person spoken Of In the crosS-examinatlon
OF Miss Biggar yesterday.
Laura Biggar will again take the stand
on Monday morning. 1t is the general
belief now of both defense and prosecu-
ton that the jury will not give their YER
dict before next Wednesday.
Lawyer Noonan, of the defense, admit
ted to-day that the letter alleged to have
been written by DIR. Hendricks to Miss
Biggar on the day OF the filing Of the will
for probate in Freehold on June 10Th had
been {; hard blow to his side.
Another point the prosecution holds as
a big gain in their favor was Judge
Hcisley's own opinion as to the main
Issue of the trial of which, he averred,
the defense had lost sight He said:
Remember. this trial is not to prove
that Laura Biggar and II. NJ. Bennett
occupied marital relations with one
another. What this case calls for is
tWo-fold thing.
First, To prove the fact of their mar
riage, ana,
Second To disprovc the charge Of con-
sliracy-neither of which can be done
along the present lines of procedure
