BISHOPS FOR CHANCE
 IN THE DIVORCE CANON
ADOPT THE AMENDMENT RE
 JECTED BY THE DEPUTIES.

Forbids the Re-marriage of Any Di-
 vorccd PersOn-The Action Not Unex-
 pected-Conference to be Held Be-
 tween the contending Factions but it
 is Not BeIieved the Deputies VIII Re-
 cede From Their Action.
 Boston. Oct. 17-The house of bish- ops. one of the legislative bodies of the Episcopal General convention. to-day adopted an amendment to the canon on marriage and divorce. forbidding the re-marriage of any divorced person. The amendment was substantially the same as that which was rejected by the house of deputies on Friday last. The action of the bishops was not un- expected, as the sentiment of that body was well known. In fact, a similar amendment was passed at the San Francisco convention three years ago, but failed, as was the case this year, to secure the support of the other house. A conference of committees represent ling the bishops and the deputies will be held to consider the disagreement, but leading clergymen do not anticipate that the deputies will recede from their vote of last week.
 In the house of deputies to-day a proposed canon providing a court of re- view, to which appeals may be taken from the decisions of diocesan courts, was reported and it's essential features adopted, though several minor provis- ions went over until tomorrow. ] Among these was one grouping the dioceses and missionary districts into seven provinces, each province to have ia court of it's own. A proposal to es- tablish court of appeals, a sort of supreme court, to be composed of the bishops of the church, was referred to the next convention.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The war in the East has enlisted the closest attention of the administration, and it is felt that the time is approaching when it will be in order for the great neutral pow CTS to move toward the restoration of peace. President Roosevelt has from the first stood ready to use his good offices to stop hostilities on basis hon orable to both belligerents, but he is estopped from moving by the fact that it has been the unbroken rule of this government to wait until it is assured that both sides to a controversy of this kind are willing that we should act.

since lived separate and apart
from her, contributing nothing
whatever to her support. Plain :
tig declares that during the time
she lived with defendant as his
wife that she treated him with
kindness and affection, so far as
she was able, and discharged all
her duties and obligations as his
wife, but that defendant, wholly
neglecting his duties as the hus-
band of plaintiff, soon after their
marriage began to treat her in
harsh and unkind manner and
that, too, when plaintiff was in
weak and sickly condition, un-
able to perform her household
duties, or to receive such treat
ment without injuring her health;
that during the time they lived
together defendant contributed,
all told, to the necessaries of
himself and plaintiff the sum Of
SID in the way of provisions be-
sides some meat provided for
their use, and purchased for
plaintiff one pair of overshoes,
one pair of hose, one calico dress,
all of the value of So, and moth
ing more; that at the time of
their marriage plaintiff owned a
little personal property of her
own, and because she declined
to turn this over to defendant and
permit him to dispose of it as he
pleased, defendant became cross
and quarrelsome and threatened
to leave plaintiff, and from that
time forward until he finally left
her, as above stated, he contin-
ually chided plaintiff with not
being as sick as she claimed to
be, and wanted her to leave the
home of her mother and 60 off
with him, and that, too, at time
when she was unable to go, and
he had provided no home or
place to take her. No children
were born of said marriage.
Plaintiff, therefore, prays the
court for the dissolution of the
bonds of matrimony with defend
ant, that she be restored to her
maiden name, Annie E. Twyman,
and for such other orders and
DEGREES of the court as may be
just and proper.

Two Divorce Suits.

attorney, Capt. Louis Benecke
# Brunswick, has brought suit
for a divorce from her husband,
Henry A. Smith, at the next
November, 1904, term OF circuit
court at Keytesville. For her
cause of action plaintiff states in
her petition that she was law
fully married to defendant in
Linn county, Mo-, December 20,
1894, and that she continued to
live with him as his wife from
and after that date until the 3rd
day of March, 1904. Plaintiff
AYERS that during that time she
faithfully demeaned herself and
discharged all her duties as the
wife of defendant, but that said
defendant, wholly disregarding
his duties as the husband of
plaintiff, offered her such indig-
mites as to render her condition
in life intolerable, and was gull
ty of such cruel and barbarous
treatment as to endanger her life
in these particulars, to-wit:
The defendant has been in the
habit of indulging in the excess
sive use of Intoxicating liquors
for the past two years, and gull
ty of other more serious vices,
also failing to provide necessa-
ries for herself and two children,
and when under the influence of
intoxicating liquor he was ex-
ceedingly quarrelsome an d
abusive toward plaintiff, and at
one time, about the 1st of Feb
ruary, 1904, he threatened to kill
her; at another time, about the
9th of February, 1904. while in
a similar condition, he choked
her with his hands around her
neck till she was nearly sense
less. These last two specified
acts took place while they were
temporarily located at the st.
James hotel in Superior, Wis.
Plaintiff further charges that
defendant disregarded his mari
tai vows by being unduly init.
mate with other women, particu-
larly one Sadie Kunsman, and
not only admitted to plaintiff his
said reprehensible conduct, but
Dragged of it, and by his said
acts destroyed plaintiffs peace
of mind and health of body.
Plaintiff says further that she
tried to persuade defendant to
mend his. ways and quit his
aforesaid bad and vicious con-
duct, but her efforts were in vain,
and when she became convinced
that there would not be a change
in his conduct she felt that her
personal safety demanded a sep
aration, hence she left defendant
the 3rd of last March and has
since lived with her parents in
Charlton county, Mo. Two chill
dren were born of said marriage,
Louisa, aged 10, and Russell,
aged 8, both of whom are now
with plaintiff. Plaintiff, there
fore, prays the court to divorce
her from the bonds of matrimony
contracted with defendant as
aforesaid; that she have the
care and custody of her two said
children, and that the court will
grant her such other and further
orders, DEGREES and judgments
as may be deemed meet and
proper. Mrs. Smith was former
ly Miss Leula Mason.
