COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

The Mobile Register has started a movement 10 erect a monument to Father Ryan, the poet of the Confederacy. whose stirring stanzas have immortalized him. The Register notes that this tribute has already been too long delayed and the people of the entire eountry-Father Ryan sang other songs than those of the south should unite in a popular subscription to erect monument to the poet in Mobile where he now lies buried. Other south ern papers view the suggestion with ia vor and there Is no reason why a large sum should not be contributed for this most worthy cause. Although the poems of Father Ryan will be more enduring than any testimonial of marble or bronze that could be erected and will preserve his memory more certainly, still 1t Is but fit that this additional honor should be given the singe~ of the lost cause. Father Ryans poems breathe the fervor and patriotism of his great spirit. No south ern poet aas ever equalled the vividness and fire, che pathos and tender sentiment of his lines. The south will surely be 'solid' for monument to Father Ryan and there are thousands of people in other parts of the country who will con tribute.
 After deal of talk and nerve tension" the Man" Patterson trial will have to be done over again. The strain will no doubt be severe on the former "Florodora" girl but those curious crowds who have thronged the court room since the trial began will have still further opportunities to satisfy their morbid cravings It was hoped that the Patterson trial would soon be concluded and that the accused woman would be permitted to retire to a privacy that would be beneficial to herself and to the country as well. but from present indications Man" Patterson scare heads" will be prominent in the yellow journals for some time to come.
 Today will be momentous in the history of St. Louis, for 1t is the last day of the fair. Tomorrow all will be over and the big show will be only memory. The Pike will be dispersed, the cosmopolitan throngs will betake themselves back to their respective countries, the last visi- tor will depart and only a splendid ruin of packing boxes, hurrying workmen and demolishing artisans will remain. St. Louis can afford to feel proud of her achievement She mas given the world a good show and las been more success full than was at first predicted She can afford to see her temporary greatness hauled away in freight trains with some degree of equanimity but nevertheless there must be a pang of regret that the noise the hustle and the air of festivity attendant upon the big show will be no more. It takes a courageous heart to bid farewell to the Pike and listen for the last time to the glad tones of the spielers voice.

War and Divorces.

According to the Jewish World, a very touching editorial appeared in a recent issue of the Hebrew daily Ha- zefirah of Warsaw, Poland, where the editor MT. Sorolow, calls attention to the Talmudic law which requires every married man before going on the bat tlefield to grant a conditional divorce to his wife, and she may remarry if he does not return within a reasonable time after the end of the war
 The rabbis of Lodz have caused all the Jewish soldiers that left that city for the seat of war to grant such di- vorces, and Editor Sorolow suggests that the example of Lodz should be copied all over Russia.
 Every married soldier, volunteer or reserve, registers with a rabbi his name address, age, height, birthmarlls, name of company and regiment he joins, and the rabbi keeps a record of the same until the soldier returns from the war.
 If a reasonable time after the close of the war elapses and the soldier does not return he is counted among the lost and unidentified dead and his wife obtains the divorce from that rabbi granting her the right to re- marry.

Amer can Walters.
I the New York Press.

From the New York Press
 'If you want to find an American wait CT you must look for him in the cheap restaurants" said Oscar, maitre d'hotel of the Waldorf-Astoria. An American waiter is seldom seen in a restaurant of the first class In the beaneries you find none but Americans and Irish. In the expensive restaurants the walters nearly all are French. In the middle class places they are German or English, but always foreign.
 T can offer no explanation for this, but years of observation have taught me that it is a fact. It cannot be because of the incompetency of the American waiter As a rule a man is served more quickly in a beanery than he is in a large restau- rant But the beanery walters have a slapdash air about them that gives the customer to understand that they think they are just as good as he is. They shun anything like an air of servility. They don't seem to expect tips, and they don get them. Perhaps that is why the Amer ican waiter is not suited for high class restaurant
