REMEDIES FOR THE DIVORCE

The question that is receiving most
attention from the General Convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church is
that Of divorce, which is a great and
| growing evil, and that church, and
other churches are trying TO find a
| remedy for it. Some very good reme-
dies are suggested, but there are diff
ficulties in the way of applying them.
For instance, fifty years ago the num-
Der of divorces granted in this coun-
try in proportion to the number of in
habitants was very small. One, and
perhaps the principal reason for this
was the GOODNESS with which the social
world received a divorced man or wom-
an. Although divorced people were
not refused admission into society they
were required to take a back seat, and
were treated as If they were in dis
grace. As a consequence, husbands and
wives were in no haste to rush off to
the divorce court whenever they failed
to agree or when they found their at
fections wandering beyond the boun-
daries fixed by the law.
But how is it nowadays? Society
opens its arms to divorced people. There
are more divorces among people who
are members of what is called fashion,
able society in proportion to it's num-
bers than among any other class. And
it is this class that forms public sem.
timent, to a great extent, in respect to
divorce.
In an address in Boston on last Sun
day night Chief Justice Stiness of
Rhode Island, who has had a long and
varied experience with divorce cases,
a greater experience perhaps than any
other Judge in the country, said the
way to cure the divorce evil was to
make law preventing divorced people
from remarrying. He declared that, in
an experience of thirty years on the
bench, he found but one case in fifty
where the petitioner for divorce didn't
seek absolute freedom with the right
to remarry. If this right were taken
away, 1t would seem, if there is any
thing in Justice Stiffness experience,
that there would be a rapid decrease
III the NUMBER OF divorces.
The judge said, in the course of his
address, that nowadays young people
rush into matrimony without much
thought, because they think that If
they don't get along together they can
get their freedom again from the
courts. If, however, they knew they
could not remarry they would regard
matrimony as a much more serious
affair. Marriages would be happier,
and, hence. the causes for divorce
would be fewer.
AS long, however, as It is left to
the states to make divorce laws there
is but little probability of the adoption
of any remedy for the divorce evil. OF
course, the Protestant churches can
change their canons in regard to it,
but unless public sentiment can be
changed people would disregard the
laws of the church. The only way
there is a probability of getting uni
form divorce law is through Con-
gress.

A PARK EXTENSION IMPROVE
MENT


1t is stated that the city officials have
quietly agreed among themselves to
extend the cement walk of Forsyth
Park through the Park Extension 1t
is presumed of course that the city
officials referred to are the members
of the City Council since they alone
have the power to make an appro-
priation for the proposed improve
ment.
Two plans are, it is said, under con-
sideration. One is to make a pave
ment twenty feet wide and the other
is to make two pavements, each ten
feet wide with a grass plat between
them. A broad pathway twenty feet
wide would be the better for two rea-
sons. One is il will be more attractive
when the sides of the pavement are
improved with additional shade trees,
and, in the course of time, with shrub
berry and flowers. Besides, it will be
in harmony with the wide pavement
through Forsyth Park. The other rea-
son is that it will be practically i'm
possible to keep the grass plat between
two pavements in good condition. The
grass will be trampled until the space
will be a mere bed of sand. In that
condition it viii not present an at
tractive appearance.
1t may be said that the grass plat
will be cared for. Will it? The eff
fort to prevent people from cutting
paths across the squares and other
public places reserved for grass has
proven an utter failure. When the
ordinance was passed fixing a penalty
for trampling the grass in the squares
and the middle ground in Oglethorpe
avenue the police enforced it satisfac-
torily for few months, but apparent
ly they found the task too exacting or
else the authorities relieved them of 1t
and now it is no uncommon thing to
see men, and even women, cutting
across the squares, and, in some of
them, wearing paths. Even in john
son square, where the Park and Tree
Commission has made special efforts
to protect the grass, a path has been
worn across one of the plats and the
indications are there will soon be 9TH
ers. 1t is reasonable to suppose
therefore that If grass plat should be
made in the Park Extension improve
ment it would soon present an I'M
slightly appearance, simply for the
want Of a little effort on the part of
the authorities to protect it from those
who seem to find pleasure in destroy
ing the things which give the city its
beauty.

How women Are Robbed.

Half the thefts that women charge
to pickpoekets," said the reformed
burglar, according to the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, ARE not thefts at all, but
simply cases of loss from their own
carelessness. Don't tell them that ]
said so, though, for I've had enough
blame to bear in my day; but that s
the truth. If woman goes home and
makes a hullabaloo about being rob-
bed she gets more sympathy, but let
her say she lost her money and she
has to shoulder the whole responsible
ity and be found fault with into the
bargain
But what becomes of the pocket
books and purses? They are not GO
ing off of themselves"
Their owners lose them without
knowing it. They lay them down or
drop them, and they are picked up by
somebody who doesn't run around
looking for the person they belong 20.
Here is case in point: A woman
seated herself before a bargain counter
piled with remnants of silk. After
turning over a few pieces she felt
something fall into her lap, and pick
ed up a fat leather pocketbook.
Hello" she says, there's purse.
II looks as if 1t had a lot of money
in it," and she handed it to the clerk,
who laid it on shelf back of him and
said he would send it to the lost and
found department.
When the woman had found the
goods she wanted and went to take her
pocketbook out of her reticule it wasn't
there, and you ought to have heard
her squeal. She declared she had il
when she sat down to the counter.
But it was gone, sure enough.
"A store detective was sent for, and
he asked her few questions He was
friend of mine and he told me the
story. Then he asked to see the purse
she had found, and 1t turned out to be
her own. She had laid it down the
first thing, and when it fell into her
lap she was so surprised she didn't
recognize 1t.
And 1 really think that she hated
to admit that she hadn't been rob-

A SPEECH FROM JUDGE PARKER.
Judge Parker is to make a speech
at Esopus on Saturday to a Demo-
cratic club of Brooklyn. The club is
a large one and Judge Parker is as
sured of a big audience. It will be his
| first speech in this campaign. He has
| been strongly urged by some of his
| advisers to take the stump in his own
behalf and make tour of the coun-
try. His judgment was against such
| a programme. He pointed out that
! speech-making presidential candidates
were, as a rule, defeated. Besides, he
| doesn't think it in keeping with the
dignity of a candidate for the greatest
Office in the gift of the people to go
through the country begging for votes.
Another reason why his judgment
was against becoming a spellbinder in
his own behalf was that he isn't an
eloquent talker, and, therefore, would
have difficulty in interesting large
crowds. People would of course flock
to his meetings, but their purpose
would be to satisfy their curiosity to
see him. There is no doubt that he
acted wisely in deciding not to go on
a speech-making tour.
The speech he will deliver on Sat
urday will, of course, be carefully pre-
pared, and will be published in all of
the papers of the country. In the few
speeches he will make at EsOpus he
will reach a very large percentage of
the voters. The indications are that
there has been a very great improve
ment in his chances for election with
in the last week or two. 1t is now
considered certain that he will carry
New York and Maryland as we'll as
the Southern states. They have 1893
electoral votes. He must get Al more
He expects to ge them from the fol-
lowing states, namely, New Jersey,
West Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin and
the group of Rocky mountain states
Colorado, Nevada Idaho and Montana.
1t is thought also that there is
chance for carrying Delaware and
Rhode Island. Efforts are being made
to carry both of them.
OF course Judge Parker doesn't need
all of these states in order to win.
Assuming that he will have all of the
Southern states and Maryland and
New York he could afford to lose Della
ware, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and
West Virginia. His campaign man
ayers feel confident that they will be
able to get the Al votes needed to Sc
cure his election out of the states
named. There are nearly four weeks
of the campaign remaining. A great
deal can be accomplished in that time

FAST TIME FOR BEES.
From The Chicago News.


There is bee ranch with more than
a million bees in the heart of one OF
the densest residence districts OF San
Francisco. 1t is owned by Philip Prior,
principle of the public school, and is
in the little back yard of his home.
For ten years he has kept the bees
there, has harvested about third of
ton CT honey each season, and has
been at no expense for food for his
interesting and Industrious pets.
Although it is distance of two and
a half miles from the Prior bee ranch
to Golden Gate Park. the Prior bees
make the trip there, collect loads of
honey and get back to the hive in two
minutes, making a bulletlike flight at
the surprising rate of $50 miles an hour.
Mr.. Prior has demonstrated this by
having an observer watching certain
bee favored places in the park, and ex-
actly timing the arrival there of bees
he purposely sprinkled with flour as
they issued from hive. He has also
kept the time on the absence of the
whitened bees.

Has the automobile put the horse out
of business? Some few years ago il
was predicted that the days of the
horse were numbered. and the time
was not far distant when horses would
be sold in punches at 800 a dozen, or
some other ridiculously low price. 1t
was the belief that the new method of
transportation, by horseless vehicle.
would quickly become so popular that
there would be practically no demand
for horses. But it is doubtful if there
was ever time when really desirable
horses were so much in demand as the
present. In New York few days ago
Harry Payne Whitney paid $4,000 at
auction for the stallion Hamburg, and
at the same sale there were several
horses that sold at sums ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000. And in all parts of
the country ordinary driving horses of
good quality are fetching prices that
ten years ago would have been
thought too high. This does not look
much like the day of the horse had
passed.

AS TO EATING RICE.
From the New York Press

rIOAl the view 1Ork Press.
Coils p. Huntington once told me
that the best workers he ever had
on. his railroads were Chinese. They
lived on rice. The japanese are prov
ing themselves great warriors and
have developed marvellous inteIli-
gence, combined with physical Prov
ess never dreamed Of by white nations.
They live on rice. We hear that 1OO.-
900 public school children in New York
are underfed. Do their parents know
enough to feed them on rice? A pound
of the best rice costs cents and will
make four good meals for a family OF
five. The Chinese and Japanese do not
eat their rice with butter or gravy.
A little salt is the only seasoning. Ital-
ians eat great quantities of rice. They
are a sturdy nation. We throw rice
after newly welded couples: let us
throw little down the outlets OF our

WHITE LA1oR FOR COTTON.

Mr.. w. P. Calhoun, of Edgefeld S.
c., aids in the explosion of the theory
that only negro Tabor can be success
fully employed in the cultivation of
Icotton in the Southern states, in a
letter to the Manufacturers Record
Leaving all speculation aside, he points
to the two geographical sections of his
own state as offering an illustration of
the fact that white labor is better than
black in the cotton field. In the upper
part of South Carolina the prepon-
derance of population is largely white
and white farmers own and till rela-
lively small cotton farms. There are
large plantations in the up-country of
course, on which mixed labor is en-
ployed; but it may be stated that the
typical upper South Carolina cotton
farm is owned and worked by white
people. In the lower part of the state
the most of the farm work is done by
negroes, some of whom own the lands
they cultivate. The relative value
and productiveness of the lands is due
to the manner of their cultivation.
In the upper part of the state, where
white labor is the rule the land is
worth about twice as much per acre
as in the lower part of the state,
where negro labor is the rule.
Thousands Of white farmers in South
Carolina work in the fields practical
ly the year around; and whenever that
is the rule, prosperity is to be found
There is no good and sufficient reason
why a white man should not work from
January to January. The heat of
summer is not sufficient to deter him,
nor is the cold of winter severe enough
to keep him in doors.
Conditions in Georgia may be said to
be practically the same, in so far as
soil and climate are concerned. Wher-
ever in Georgia white labor predomi-
mates it will be found that the farms
are clean and productive and the
value of lands relatively high. Nor Is
there any part of the state in which
white labor is prescribed by climatic
conditions. The movement to secure
white immigration into the section is
step in the right direction: and in
furtherance OF that movement sincere
efforts ought to be made towards dis
Polling the Illusion that white labor
on farms on this section is not prac-
ticable. The idea is wholly erroneous.
There isn't any better climate for white
labor anywhere.
