MAY ADOPT METRIC SYSTEM.
Action of Colonial Conference In Lon
don May Hasten Liquidation In
This Country,

Enthusiastic Endorsement is given by
government officials in Washington to
the recent colonial conference in Lon
don in adopting resolutions making
the metric system of weights and
measures compulsory throughout the
British mepire. For years the adop-
ton of the metric system has been adj
vocated by officials of the treasury de-
partment. AT no time previous to the
last session of congress, however, was
the matter taken up with such prose-
pect of favorable action as last winter!
A bill was favorably reported to the
house, and is now on the calendar Of
that body, which provides that the.
system shall be used exclusively by
the government departments after
January i, 1904, and that four years
later it shall be made the standard
system of the country.
Great stress was laid on the joint &C.
ton of the United States and Great
Britain in this matter, and the great
mass of testimony which was taken be-
fore the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures, both from gov
eminent officials and American manu-
facturers, was nearly all in favor of
the adoption of the system. and all
made the prediction that should the
United States act first England would
speedily follow. The Decimal Associa-
ton of Great Britain took poll of the
British house with the result that 259
members of parliament were openly in
favor of adopting the system, and that
40 more would vote TINT way.

half gale. Capt. Parker was roaring
orders to the sailors, who were
clawing at the canvas and half reef

vanished. The foam-capped waves
dashed spitefully against the port
side of the schooner, and scattered
spray across the piles of lumber.
There was the feel of rain in the air.

GOODS ARE STIRRED.
Pelt Chancellor Andrews with De-
luge Of Questions About
Marriage.

Goods, as we'll as men students,
stirred by the lectures that Chancellor
Andrews is giving at the University Of
Chicago upon the effects upon the in
dlHidual and society of bachelordom,
old-maidism and the married state,
tired many questions at him the other
day when he arose to begin his after
noon lecture.
One maid asked if DIR. Andrews did
not think that good measure for pre-
venting desertion and non-support
would be to imprison the guilty party
for year.
yes, for five years." came the quick
response. ''If you can get hold of the
man who has been guilty of non-sup-
port or desertion, why Jug him. For
wife-beating the same penalty would
do, or perhaps six years would be bet
ter.
Il would say the same for husband
beating, he added, while the men
grinned and the goods Uttered.
Cooperation between the states was
the principal reform in the present
system of marriage and divorce laws
urged by DR.. Andrews. He said that
this would call for a compromise of
many different theories, and that per-
haps no one would be satisfied with
the result, but that a compromise
agreed to by the legislatures of all the
states would be far better than the
present medley. He said that an en-
actment should be made in every state
to make it more difficult for persons
with children to secure divorces.
