DESERTED WIVES.
A Testimony to the Naturally Forgiying
Nature of Women.

An old statement emanating from
the Chicago Bureau Of Associated
Charities casts an interesting side
light upon the divorce question. Ac-
cording to this statement, the burden
upon the bureau Of women who have
been deserted by their husbandsis out
OF all proportion to a civilized society.
In one way and another it has been
estimated that there are in Chicago
$500 women who have been thus left
alone in the world Some Of the rec
reants have disappeared, but many
are still hangers-on in the household,
leaving their wives to earn the bread.
What, then, the Chicago courts are
asking, is to be done with these Of
tenders? The question would be sim
pie enough were it not that the de.
serted wife is loath to set in motion the
machinery of the law, or if she has
done so, is generally anxious to stopit.
A Philadelphia lawyer, when asked
about this, was Of the impression That
affairs were not much better in that
city. says the Philadelphia Press.
"You must" he says, devise an ef-
fective punishment before you can
stop crime. When a husband is to
be tried forill-treating his wife the lat
ter must generally be the prosecutor,
and if she gets as far as taking the oath
her spirit generally leaves her at about
that point. She leaves the magis-
trate's office. and by night she is back
at the station house begging to see
the fellow. believe thatin Philadel
Yhia fully rs per cent. Of these arrests
are lost through the default Of the
wife as the complaining witness. Be
sides, many woman who would be
only too glad TO be rid Of husband
IN any other way will refuse to take
a step that would land him in jail"
The Chicago society is now looking
out for about 50 women who have
been deserted These women are
cleaning, cooking, sewing and scrub
bing at from one dollarto S1.50a day.
but an officer of The society expresses
the opinion that fully 40 per cent.
OF them are sharing their earnings
with their good-for-nothing husbands.

PROFESSIONAL JURORS.
New Form Of Fraud in Precincts of Lon
