Of Virginia, and herself loved daugh-
ter of the South, after few years OF
standing face to face with the prosaic
business world of Chicago, is about
to come into her own, like the Prin-

to Gen. James e. Magill, wealthy
planter of Pulaski, Va, will take her
back to her own country, where up In
the Alleghennies she will be mistress

In Chicago she has been examiner

Gen. Magill is a division command

The Gallant General.

Senator Depew is responsible for

A woman prominent in New York
society who had married a well known
French statesman one day visited the
ambassador with reference to the ex-
ecution OF certain legal documents to
be filed in a United States court.
In several of the papers 1t was nee.
essary that the lady should state her
age, a point on which she evinced
great constituencies. AS matter of
fact she demurred strongly as to this.

"Of the age of accountability"
And Senator Depew says that no
objection was ever heard from Wash

contraband Tobacco in Eng!.ne.

What becomes of the contraband to-
bacco seized by the customs? The
early practice was to bury it. This
senseless waste was suspended for a
time by the happy idea of distributing
the tobacco among the troopships.
That did not last long, and next
year we hear of the contraband being
smoked in the Queens pipe" huge
receptacle which could turn hun
dreds OF tons into smoke in few
hours" Again the misgivings Of the
waste trol bled the authorities, and
they took 70 RECALLING the criminal
lunatics in certain government asy-
lums. Any tobacco that was left over
was ordered fol the use of troops sent
on foreign service. But that luxury
seems to have betn cut off once more,
although the criminal lunatics still
enjoy their pipes and cigars.
One attempt was made to throw
the contraband, when it was slightly
damaged, on the market, but this
caused an cutlery from the tobacco
trade. The whole story IL a pleasing
tribute to the intelligence which adj
ministers the public service.-Macmil-

EVILS THAT FOLLOW DIVORCE.
Truancy and Waywardness Of Child

Truancy and Waywardness Of Child
rem as Shown In Chicago.
Divorce is the root of crime and
truancy among the Juvenile delin-
ouents of Chicago. This conclusion
has beenv reached by w. Lester Bo-
dine, superintendent OF compulsory
education, after Investigations ex-
tending over a year.
Arrests made by the truant officers
and court records, Supt. Bodine de-
clares, shows that great majority
of the boys and girls who go wrong
are the children of divorced parents,
BY testimony taken in his office and
in court, these children have shown,
he says, that they first lose respect
for their quarelsome parents. and
when the parents separate the child
has only the influence of one.
Supt. Bodine, after collecting sta
tistics from court records and other
sources, declares that there are $4,000
divorced women in Chicago and near
ly as many divorced men. A major
ty of these divorced people had child
rem, he has found. On his estimate OF
two children for each couple. the num-
Der of children Of divorced people in
Chicago would be nearly 10000.
The superintendent quotes statistics
to show that many Of the boys com.
mitted to the parental school. the
John Worthy school. the Jail, and
other corrective and charity institu-
lions, are half orphans through d.
vorce DEGREES. The same holds true,
he says, of the girls committed to tie
various industrial schools and institu.
tons for hayward girls.
Other statistics collected by Supt.
Bodine show, he says, that marriages
and births are increasing and divorces
decreasing among the large and grow
ing foreign-born population, while
marriages and births are decreasing
and divorces are increasing among
the American-born population.

sheiks Is reported from Cairo, In
Egypt. Sheik Ali Joussef fell In love
with the daughter Of Sheik el Saddat.
The girls father, who Is said to be the

Mohammed, refused his consent to the
marriage, as he did not think All Jous-
SET was a fit person to be the hus-
band of a girl Of such noble lineage.
ALI Joussef, however, abducted the
girl and placed her in his harem.
Her father appealed to the Egyptian
government, with the result that de-
tachment of armed police was dis
patched to Ali Joussefs harem. The
police made a forcible entry to the
premises and, in order to be sure that
they had taken possession OF the per-
son wanted, they ordered all the fair
