BAD FOR DIVORCED PEOPLE.
Episcopal Clergy Have Denounced
Lax Marriage Laws.

The Episcopal clergy of two states
and British Columbia, now in annual
Clericus in Seattle, has denounced lax
marriage and divorce laws. The absO-
lutte refusal of clergymen in the EpiS-
copal church to marry divorced cou-
pies was indorsed, and encouragement
was offered the ministers in other
churches who had accepted the posi-
ton of the Episcopal denomination.
The clergymen went on record as
opposed to secret and hurried we'd
dings Divorces granted upon trivial
grounds were repudiated, and the
speakers declared that the church
should build up such a wall of obJec-
ton that in time it will be Impossible
for divorced people to remarry. The
conference also opposed drawingroom
marriages. They agreed that all we'd

OF CRAFTERS
American Sharpers in Lon
don Lie in Wait There for
Their Fellow COuntrymen
WORK VARIOUS SCHEMES
Generally Seek to Secure
Loan by Telling a Well
Learned Hard Luck Story

LONDON, Dec 24.-Probably few of
the people from the United States,
VINO have visited London this season,
have escaped a meeting with one or
more of the little clique Of American
"grafters" here, who make fellow
countrymen their victims. Those OF
them, who, by frequent encounters
have become we'll known to Americans,
are wearing a prosperous air, from
which one would conclude that the sea
son has been we'll spent.
One of the cleverest of these men IS
dark k-complexioned, quiet-voiced
young American of medium height ana
poor but respectable appearance VINO
stops travellers anywhere between
Fleet street and Hyde Park corner to
tell them how, by becoming stranded
somewhere in the provinces, theatrl-
cal troupe left him with barely enough
money to reach London. He makes his
distress so real that the tourists hand
goes down into his pocket in almost
every case. On Sundays when there
are few Americans about the streets,
this individual haunts the British Mu-
scum. the picture galleries and any
free exhibitions that may be open-
Another of these "grafters' is bare
ly five feet two in height, solidly built
and invariably wears a broad-brimmed
soft hat For two years he has Just
been discharged from Buffalo Bill's
show and he has an excellent story
oh fo,- from home
for which he has written.
OF American confidence men there
are many in London. especially during
the summer and autumn when visitors
are plenty Their usual method is to
follow traveller about until he signs
for a registered letter. or money order
at postoffice, when, his name and
possibly his city ascertained by look
ing over his shoulder, he is accOsted,
glad handed and frequently done.
Americans who would be wary enough
at home seem to be off their guard
while on their travels and scraping ac-
quaintances with them is a compare
lively easy matter.
A particularly successful member Of
the gang Of American grafters in Lon
don is a respectable looking fellow with
irongray hair and a business-like man
ner. who is supposed to get acquainted
with travellers names from the hotel
registers and then make deductions as
to where they have been from the Ia
bells on their baggage. This sharper
has been known to the metropolitan
police for six or seven years. but so
seldom is the victim morally brave
enough TO complain to the authOri-
ties that the latter have not been able
to take care of him.

FRENCH BARK is HELD
BY CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
Sailor Who Was Not Entitled to Land
Deserts and Vessel Is Refused
Clearance Papers.

PORTLAND, Or. Dec. 24-Emi
grafton Inspector Barbour has re-
fused to grant q clearance TO the
French bark Jules Gommes owing to
the fact that a sailor named Norris
seau. who deserted the vessel cannot
be found. Upon being notified week
ago by the inspector that the man
was not entitled to land, the captain
of the GOmmes swore out q warrant
for his arrest, but the officers have
been unable to locate him. When the
vessel finished loading her captain ap-
piled to the inspector for his release
and was refused it, as were also his
clearance papers by the customs Of
'ficials. The captain has carried the
matter to the French representatives,
who have protested against the deten-
ticn to the authorities at Washington.
Inspector Barbour has asked instruc-
tions from Washington and until
reply is received the vessel will be de-
tanned here.
The Gommes is loaded with 12O,-
900 bushels of wheat destined for
Great Britain.

THIEF,S INGENIOUS PLAN
SPOILED BY THE POLICE
From Heavy Loss by Gotham
OfficerA

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-An ingeni-
Gus plan for robbing persons who had
purchased expensive Christmas gifts
from big jewelry houses in this city.
the police say. was disclosed to-day by
the arrest of William Roseman for the
authorities of Atlantic City. n. j.
Roseman is charged with grand lar
ceny in connection with the theft Of
1875 worth of diamonds from the
Adams Express Company at Atlantic
City.
According to the police Roseman's
plan was to loiter around the big
jewelry stores. and, overhearing sale
being made, take the names and ad-
dresses of the purchases, lie in wait
for the messenger and receipt for the
package when delivery was made.

that you must suffer to be beautiful" +"
Its truth has been strikingly shown by
lady's maid in Paris, who has just
revealed the secret of her mistress
beauty. To attain it she endured mar
tyrdom for a year. During the morn
ings she lay fiat on her back on the
floor. This was to improve her figure.
The afternoons she spent on high
stool, swaying her body about from the
hips This treatment was supposed to
make her graceful and beautify the
contour of her waist and throat.
Nature had bestowed on her a sky
tilted nose, but it was made Grecian
by the application of a spring bandage
to 1t night and day for months. One
nostril was larger than another. The
constant use of a pad increased the
size of the smaller one until they were
well matched pair. Her cheeks,
which were too thin, were filled out by
injections of paraffil. Her ears were
compressed against the sides of her
head by springs until their bats wing
tendencies had been overcome. Heavy
weights were attached to the lobes to
produce the desired elongated shape.
Now she is considered a pretty woman.
And she considers it we'll worth the
price she has paid for it.
AN ODD LONDON CLUB.
There are many queer clubs in Lon
don, but probably the oldest is that
which dined the other night at the
Whitehall rooms. "Nobody's Friends is
quaint title, a phrase hardly sugges-
tive of eXclusiveness and distinction.
Yet 1T includes among its members Ar
thur Balfour. Prime Minister; the two
Primates of England-the Archbishop
Of Canterbury and the Archbishop of
York-half a dozen bishops. the Lord
Chief Justice and five or six lesser Jus
tees, beside various other notables.
Its name does not remotely suggest
its origin or purpose. In the last quar-
ter of the eighteenth century there
fiourished one William Stevens. who at
tanned fortune as hosier and fame as
a theologian by the publication of an
essay in defense Of those pillars of the
English church. the thirty y-nne articles.
In 1900 he issued theological brochure
signed Ain" which is Hebrew for mo
body" and Nobody's Club was
founded to commemorate it's versatile
author.
Except among antiquarians Stevens
and his works have long been forgotten
and undoubtedly the club would many
years ago have shared the same fate
but for one of its articles or incorpora-
tion, by which its members pledged
themselves to dine together thrice a
year That bond of union has kept il
alive for 104. years and may continue it
in existence for another century or
two.

AMERICAN PEER WILL SOON
RETURN TO THIS COUNTRY
Lord Fairfax Finds the Simplicity of
the Western World More to
His Liking

LONDON. Dec. 24.-Lord Fairfax,
the representative of that Maryland
family which has long held a Scotch
peerage. is looking forward with pleas
ant anticipations to his speedy re-
turn to the land of his birth. where
he will be able to assume once more
the simple dignity of plain American
citizen who recognizes to the full his
obligations TO make living himself.
His business mission, in connection
with some American banking institu-
ton. has been far from successful. The
fault was probably none of his, for
money is scarce in these days and
British capitalists are very shy of max
ing foreign investments. Apparently
those who sent him here thought that
his title would attract people TO the
scheme he represented. If anything
il has had quite the contrary effect. So
many scandals have resulted of late
years between the association of coro-
nets and commercial ventures that
the public generally refuses to, bite at
the company promoters hook when it
Is baited with a peerage.
For his title Lord Fairfax really
seems TO care not a jot. He has so long
lived in America as plain Albert Kirby
Fairfax that he has no notion how to
assume the airs that are here supposed
to be the appropriate and necessary
accompaniment Of it. He prefers
Mr. TO My Lord" but people have
insisted on giving him the full benefit
Of his title. At the swell functions
which he found it impossible to shirk,
he always looked bored and much out
Of his natural element among those
with whom fashionable frivolity con-
stituted the chief business of life.
A cynical critic remarked that il is a
great pity Lord Fairfax cannot take
back with him a shipload Of young
titled idlers that in America they might
undergo transformation into useful
wage-earners like himself. Lord Fair
fax's visits to EnglaDd seem associated
with failures.
When all the peers of the realm were
being rounded up to grace the corona
ton Of King Edward VII he crossed the
Atlantic and had a costly set Of peer S
robes made for him. but the Kings ILL
ness and the consequent postponement
Of the coronation compelled his return
TO America before he had had an op-
portunity to make public appearance
IN them.
