CAUSE OF DIVORCE.
too Much MOther-in-Law" idea
Legalized in France.

LOCALIZED In France.
The traditional mother-in-law, at
those expense so many jokes have
been made on the stage and in private
life as well, has just sustained a
crushing blow, says the London
Helegraph's Paris letter. She has
actually been proclaimed by a metro
politan law court as a possible dis
turber Of the harmony which might
be expected to reign in a young
page. The couple in question had
sppiied for a divorce, but the Judges,
taking due note of the fact that their
disagreement would appear to have
begun at the date when the husband
'introduced his mother into the con-
iuga abode" and expressing the
opinion that if the old lady wOuld only
START a separate dwelling, (which
would be more compatible with her
dignity" harmony might be restored
between the pair, have adjourned
their decision for six months. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the hus-
bands mother will takethe hint; but,
ct any rate, the stern truth that
mothers-in-law may be an element of
discord in their sons or their daugh-
terB' households has at last been le-
g v recognized. There will bemuch
lamentation by mothers-in-law as a
class over the blow which the court
has thus dealt at them. But, on the
other hand, there will be JOY among
not a few long-suffering husbands
and wives, who have had to bow
meekly to tyranny which, althoughit
may have been inspired by the most
respectable of motives, has too Otter
proved intolerable.

A SENATOR'S NAME.
waShingtonians Bound to Have It
Something Else Than 1t Is.

washingtonians Bound to Have It
Something Else Than 1t Is.
Senator Willard, of Nebraska,
found a new trouble in this city, says
the Washington Star, when he
came to represent his state in the
United States senate. With one ac-
cord his name was changed in pro-
ANNEXATION, much to his discomfort.
Out in Nebraska Senator Millard is
plain Willard, with the accent on the
Mill. He has never been anything
else, and he never suffered an attempt
on the part Of his friends to make him
anything but plain Willard, with the
accent o n the Mill. But after enter
ing the senate and settling down
here he became painfully aware of q
universal tendency on the part
of every one who did not know
him in Nebraska to call him Senator
Willard, with the accent on the lard.
He didn't like it, but he couldn't stop
everyone who called his name in or
der to correct the pronunciation.
Gradually he has come to be known
everywhere by the new sounding
name
