Devery still In the Running and Fighting
for the "Pcepul."
Big Bill Devery Is in the fight for the
Mayoralty for good, now. Last night
his executive committee held meeting
at the headquarters Of the Bug Club, on
Eighth avenue, at which 1t was decided to
form a campaign committee. This, &C
cording to Devery's own assertion, is
be of q kind "to make the old time politicians
look like 80 cents
About 300 delegates were present. many
of them getting no further than the street
door Of the clubhouse. Every Assembly
district was represented and almost every
election district in Manhattan and The
Bronx. handful Of delegates got in
late to represent the other three boroughs
in the city.
1t was decided that the committee, to be
formed, shall be made up of from three to
five delegates from each Assembly district,
these to be chosen by meetings of voters
in the election districts. The first meet
ing Of the committee is to be held next
Thursday evening.
Devery broke away from the meeting
about II o'clock and went over to Williams
burg with small party of lieutenants.
A ball given by the Devery clubs Of ten
Kings county Assembly, districts was gong
on at New Palace Hall. on Grand street,
and there the ex-Chief made his triumphal
entry just before midnight.
He was introduced by a former election
district captain of Senator McCarren,
who began by telling those present that
Alderman Patrick Sylvester Kelly Of the
Fourteenth district, Kings, had consented
to run on the Devery ticket and had been
Endorsed by the Citizens Union convention

to make a change for the better, anu
they come home with a more or less
angelic look on their faces. Mr.. Bow

Bowser a kiss and observed:

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
Organized Movement Among ReIig-
ious Denominations.

In the matter of uniform marriage
and divorce laws a strong church
movement is well under way. Commit
tees have been appointed representing
the Protestant Episcopal, Presbyterian
and Methodist organiza tons. These
have already held meeting in this
city 1t is hoped to interest the other
Protestant denominations and the
Roman Catholics as well, though the
church of Rome does not as yet recog-
nize divorce.
While the churches will exert a pow
erfuI influence toward the end in view
the establishment of uniform laws
must inevitably tend toward the fur
Their secuIarizat ton of the marriage
rite As the laws stand, not all the
states demand marriage licenses, only
half of them forbid marriages OF whites
and negroes, in several states and q
territory (Arizona) whites and Indians
cannot wed, and in four states and the
same territory the union of whites and
Chinese IS forbidden. Differing bars of
blood relationship are raised in differ
ent states and the lawful age for mar
riage likewise varies.
Most of these restrictions and regu-
lations have bearings on the divorce
question The differences must be re-
conciled by statutes firm enough to
hold everywhere, yet so wisely drawn
as to discourage the legitimate mar
riage intent nowhere--New York

butcher and grocer had been late, and
the dinner deserved no praise. Never
theiess, Mr.. BoWser was pleased to say
that Delnonico couldn't have furnished
q better one, and his words so frustrated
the cook she cut her thumb and decided
to strike for a raise Of wages When
dinner was over, Mr.. BoWser sat down
to his cigar and looked around the
room in tender way and remarked:
II there is anything more pleasant
than this I would like to see it, MY
pity goes out to the man without q

Piled Mrs. Rowser. though at the same

port rail- The wheel was dashed, as the
wind had held fair. and it was easy to
guess that they were not bothering TO
keep lookout. There were some car
penters' tools in spare berth, and it
didn't take very long with a brace and
DIT ana small saw, to open the after
companion doors. I stuck my head out
and listened. All was quiet aft. and
crept out and along in the shadow of

ready to be taken down. The first thing
was to remove the mattress 1t goes

Mr.. BowSer had removed hundred

on the floor.

exclaimed as he pushed up his sleeves
and reached out for the springs And

The two foot Stats fell down. the
springs made a sudden dive and Mr..
Bowser's shins brought up against
something hard. It was not railroad
sandwich. He stepped back and was
about to begin q speech when Mrs.
Bowser looked IN and queried:
How are you getting along, dear?'
Beautifully. and you can't-help any.
he replied, as the red spread clear back
to his collar button.
She retreated and he spat on his
hands and surveyed the springs from
six different directions. 1t finally and
suddenly occurred to him to drop the
other Stats and let the springs fall to
the floor, and he was rubbing his hands
when Mrs. Bowser looked in again.
Just a little scheme of my own. r

him that the ends of the rails lifted up.
He lifted; no go. He tugged; some
thing Wobbled. He kicked; both ends
of the rail came out at once, and. with

1t was a wooden bedstead. brass

hauled off and gave the footboard kick
It wasn't any such kick as 4 mule with

an ordinary fat mans kick, with q good

to smash the whole bedstead into tooth
