Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Dec. 31.-An item re-
Gently printed in the Nebraska STATE
Journal, under date Of Long Pine, Neb.'
says:
rha netition Of Will H. Taylor, OF
Roseyille, Illinois, for an annuilfnent
of the marriage between his sister,
Clara Taylor, and Ira Herbert Moore,
was granted. Mr.. Taylor testified that
his sister, he was now convinced, mad
been insane since 1894, and was there
fore incapable of entering into mar
riage contract. Other persons testi-
fed to her condition before marriage.
Mrs. Moore is now in the Lincoln hos
pital for the insane. The CUSTODY OF
the baby boy was granted to the faith
5 err"
This announcement will recall one of
the most peculiar cases that has come
before the insanity board of this coun-
ty and will be Of especial interest in
this part Of the state. Last summer,
while visiting her parents in this city,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. r. Taylor, an attempt
was made to send Mrs. Moore to the
4 asylum, and a hearing was had here
upon the sanity of the woman. 1t was
then stated and evidently believed,
that Mr.. Moore merely wanted to get
his wife out of the way In order that
he could take the child away from her.
The hearing was had in this city before
the Hamilton county board Of insanity.
This body pronounced Mrs. Moore. sane
and dismissed the case.
It will be remembered that it was
charged at the hearing in this city that
Mrs. Moore was cruel to the baby and
spent large part of her time bathing
1t In cold water. Soon after the hear
inE the Moores returned to Long Pine,
Nebraska, their former home. Mrs.
Moore had been in the state asylum in
Nebraska before coming to this city
& but had been released 1t was stated
here that Mr.. Moore wanted to take
the child to his parents and have his
wife incarcerated again in the asylum,
: merely to get rid Of her. There was
considerable feeling at the time in this
city against the man.
In the light of the hearing just had
An the court in Nebraska, in which
Mrs. Moore's own brother, Will H.
Taylor who is well known in this city,
testifies as to her insanity, the troubles
( OF the Moore family assume an entirely
different attitude. The fact that her
own brother, rather than her husband
should pronounce her insane, would
seem to indicate that her husband was
not after all guilty of having persecut-
ed his wife as was believed in this city.
/ The hearing here created a good deal
Of talk, which now appears TO have
been unjust to Mr.. Moore. People
here, with the possible exception Of
the neighbors Of the Taylor family,
where Mrs. Moore was visiting, merely
thought Mrs. Moore queer" but not

LAWS AS TO THE COST OF LIVING.
the New York World.

From the New York World.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, lectur-
ing in Philadelphia on "How to Regu-
late Expenses" and "How to Dress, -
said Engel had carefully studied ex-
penses and his three laws are:
First. That the greater the income
of any person or family, the smaller
the relative percentage of the outlay
for subsistence.
Second. That the percentage of ex-
pense for clothing is approximately the
same, whatever the income.
Third. That the percentage of out
lay for lodging, rent, fuel or light is
invariably the same, whatever the in
come.
AS to the clothing there must be a
decent regard for the opinions of man
KIND along with a determination not
to be wholly subservient to them. The
cost of clothing to the workman is
from per cent. to per cent. of his
income, the average in Massachusetts
being Is per cent. In Germany the
average is Is per cent. and in Illinois
81.
Then there is the question of how
much of ones income to devote to
other people in the social life. That
must depend on a persons own con-
seriousness and circumstances. There
is. also the problem of contributions to
charity.
DR.. Hale read the principle enun-
ciated by Starr King, that for every
expenditure in amusements we ought
TO make a corresponding contribution
to the improvement of society and
in the interest of the offspring. for
when we do that we have a right to
our amusements; otherwise we have
no right to them"
