PHILIPPINE MARRIAGES.
The Rascality of Men Discharged
from the Army.

Before we took possession OF the
Philippines there were no divorces IN
the islands, because the Catholic
church does not recognize divorce.
There were a few of the very poor in
every community, it is said, who lived
outside of wedlock because they could
not pay the fees. But the courts are
granting divorces now, and there are
marriages by Justices of the peace.
1t seems that many Migrants, men
discharged from the army, have con-
tracted common law marriages with
Filipino women. This sort of mar
riage is celebrated by TRANSMISSION OF
bloud, the veins being opened in the
arms of the contracting parties. The
Filipino women regard this ceremony
as constituting legal marriage. 1t is
probable that the American parties

President Roosevelt, en- route from
his recent trip to the west, spent four
hours in Springfield, III, during
which time he dedicated the new state
arsenal and armory erected at cost of
Sl50,00G, donated by citizens of Spring
field, and addressed the Lincoln-M Nc
Kinley Veteran Voters Association at
the Lincoln monument. Among those
who heard the president speak at the
monument was Company H of the
Eighth Regiment (colored), Illinois Ma
tional Guard. After greeting the Vet
erans' Association the president said:
sit seems to me eminently fitting
that the guard around the tomb of
Lincoln should be composed of colored
soldiers. 1t was my own good fortune
at Santiago to serve beside colored
troops. A man who is good enough to

COULDN'T TAKE THE OATH.
Why the Ezekiel Flying Machine
Will Not Be on the Market.

One day last week a preacher made
application at the patent Office in
Washington for patent on the Gee
kiel flying machine" He said he had
found in the book of Ezekiel full and
practical receipt for the construction
of machine that would fly. He had
worked the thing out in Indian ink
drawings, and was sure that it would
do all claimed for it. The patent Office
requires every inventor TO swear that
to the best of his knowledge and he
lief he was the discoyerer of the de-
vice sought TO be patented. When
the reverend gentlemen was asked to
subscribe to the customary oath he
shook his head sadly and left the Office;
he could not take the credit to him
self for the discovery set down in the
book of Ezekiel. That is why the Eze-
kiel flying machine will not be on the
market this summer.

HABIT No EXCUSE
SUPREME COURT SAYS IT is NOT A
GROUND FOB DIVORCE.
An Interesting Case That Was Appealed
from Bibb Superior Court. Had Twice
Been Granted Divorce.

A decision rendered by the supreme
court last week has brought up DIS
cussion as to whether the morphine
habit is a ground for divorce. The
supreme court says no, and there is a
possibility that bill changing the law
may be introduced at the approaching
session of the legislature, though it
would probably meet with oYerwhelm-
inc defeat.
Three years ago George Ring of
Bib county filed a suit for divorce
against bis wife, Mamie Ring, alleging
that she was habitnally intoxicated.
with morphine. He was granted di-
vorce, but when the case reached the
supreme court that tribunal declared
that when the law spoke of habitual
intoxication it mean intoxication from.
whiskey.
Ring brought another suit charging
cruelty, and setting up the claim that
by the habitual use of morphine his
wife was cruel in the eyes of the law.
In the superior court of Bibb county
he won this case also, and, for second
time, he seemed to be a divorced man.
But the supreme court holds that the
habitual use of morphine is not cruelty
emitting husband to divorce, and
although Ring has been twice divorced
in the superior court he is still mar
ried man. The decision of last week,
which was written by Judge Gambler
and cOncurred in by all the justices,
holds that cruel treatment must be
physical.
Chief Justice Simmons adds a note
that he cOncurs because the use of
morphine is not such cruel treatment
under the cOde' as to authorize d.,

INVESTIGATING MEXICAN BOIL WEEYIL.
Prac
teal and Illustration of Method of Combating
the Insect. Gradually Coming Eastward.

A Washington dispatch to the News
says Representative Livingston of
Georgia has called the attention of the
agricultural department to reports
that the Mexican cotton boil weevil
has made its appearance in three
counties in Mississippi and in one
county 10 Alabama. These reports will
be investigated by the department,
but the entomologists of the depart
ment are confident that they will be
found to be founded on errors. For
some years past the department has
received reports of the presence of the
weevil in other states besides Texas,
but in every case it has been found
that some other Insect has been mis-
taken for the cotton-boll weevil. The
officials of the department are con-
yinced that it is only question OF
comparatively few years until the
weevil overruns the entire cotton
belt, but they do not believe that it
has yet crossed the Mississippi river,
nor do they expect it to do so this
wear. 1t is admitted, however, that it
is possible that few of the insects
have been carried across to Mississippi
and Alabama In cotton that may have
been shipped from Texas into those
states, and that new centers OF intec-
ton may have been started.
No reports have yet been received
from the field agents of the depart
ment as to the spread of the weeyil in
Texas this year, but it is expected
that the infected area will be found to
be considerably larger than last year,
and that the weevil will be found
further north and further east than
ever before. DR.. l.. o. Howard, the
chief entomologist of the department,
is now in Texas making personal
study of the situation. When be re-
turns to Washington about July 1t Is
probable that he will be able TO throw
more light on the rate at which the
pest is spreading and the extent to
which this years crop will be dam
aged.
The experts of the department will
continue the study OF the insect
the present season in Tex
as and will make further Investigations
