WOMEN HOLD THE TRUMPS
Are Playing Them on Their HuS-
bands, Members of the Anti-Eu-
chre Society of BayOnne, N. j.

New York, May 16-Hunger has
driven some members of the Husbands
Anti-Euchre society of Bayonne, N. j.,
into retreat, and the president has re-
signed. His Office is still vacant and
the wives who were to be cured OF
playing euchre six afternoons week
appear to have more than held their
ground.
In his letter of resignation the head
of the reform movement declares that
since he became so active in his efforts
to suppress the ladies' Amusement his
wife appears to have forgotten how to
cook, and that out of regard for his
stomach he is compelled to resign. All
those who have been offered the presi-
dency report a similar trouble in the
culinary department at home, and the
reform movement appears to be on the
wane.

There is material for consideration In
acomparison of the divorce statistics of
Canada and the United States. While
this country has population which
averaged IL times that of Canada during
the period from 1867 to 1901, its divorces
have been 10000 times as many as in
the dominion. The power of granting
divorce is not committed to local
courts, but is reserved to the dominion
parliament itself, and the procedure
insures that most potent deterrent of
hasty or collusive divorces-pu publicity.
All the proceedings must be in accord
ance with an appointed routine.
