PUBLICITY IN DIVORCES.

That no secrecy should be tolerated
in divorce cases, and every move in
such actions be exposed to the full light
of day, is the lesson of a recent expo
sure in New York of the fraud by
which Mrs. Charles F. Dodge obtained
q divorce from her husband in order
that she might marry Charles w.
Morse, ''the Ice King" The cast was
heard by a referee, before whom there
appeared a lawyer protesting to repre-
sent the husband and who examined
witnesses. But the husband. in fact,
knew nothing Of the suit until some
time after the divorce was granted,
when he caused the decree to be set
aside, and the marriage which had
taken place between the woman and
Morse was accordingly annulled. In
the proceedings to annul the marriage
the names of the parties were ~purposely
misspelled, in order that that the news
papers might not know the identity of
the parties.
1t is said that such fraudulent repre-.
sentation by attorneys, of an absent de-
PENDANT in a divorce suit, is no new
thing in New York, aud the same is
probably true Of other cities.

from Europe, in the form Of a dollar
dinner" was given tonight and was
attended by nearly 700 Democrats,
principally men in full sympathy and
accord with Bryan's political policies.
Bryan in a speech declared that the
Kansas City platform was sound In
every plank and must be reiterated, and
that the nominees of the st. Louis Con-
yention must be in accord with that
platform. Said he: ''Shall we aban-

order to conciliate those who defeated
the party in other campaigns? Never J
"The Kansas City platform is sound
in every plank, and the first act of the
Convention should be to reaffirm 1t IN
its entirety, and its next act should be
the addition of new planks in harmony
with it and covering such new ques-
tons as demand consideration. Then
the Convention should nominate candl-
dates who believe in the platform"

coLoMBIA's RESOURCES.

To read that the United States is
threatened with a war by Colombia
sounds almost like a joke, says Good
wins Weekly. Colombia had at last
accounts a standing army of 1410 sol
diers and no navy. Only trails lead
from Panama mp to the capital. Ii
o were to be marched out the other
way to the coast, there would be no
way to transport them TO Panama. 1t
is a republic that has a foreign trade Of
about SIS, 900, 600 imports annually. The
government revenue has been about
ST. SOC, 900 per annum, and S250,C00 Of
that came from the Panama Railroad.
A telegraph line goes up from the coast
to Bogota, the capital, but it is almost
impossible to keep it in repair because
the monkeys along the route insist on
using the wire for acrobatic perform
ances. The monkeys number seventeen
species In Colombia.
Still, Colombia has millions of acres
of wonderfully fertile soil. It4s rich in
mines and the interior tablelands are
healthy. Under a ruling race it would
become a great country and it would be
a mercy were q new Bolivar to rise up
and redeem it. One Of the greatest
dangers that threatens the United
States in that quarter is that two or
three more States will stuff off from the
Central Republic and ask to be an
nexed to the United States, and that
under some administration the offer
may be accepted. The most restless
State is Cauca. 1t possesses marvelously
rich gold mines and rare gems, and few
governments have the resolution to re-
fuse to accept acquisitions of that kind.
But this country does not want any

The new tariff on dynamite and other
explosives into Mexico is causing con.
siderable discussion. The duty, which

In Franklin County Appraising Min

 Russellville, March H.-(Special. .)-The committee to appraise the properties of the Sloss-Sheffield, Tennessee and Re- public companies, which has been at work in this territory for some time, left today for Birmingham. These gen- tlemen are going over all the properties of the Tennessee, Sloss-Sheffield and Re- public companies. with a view to de- termining their relative value.
 Members of the committee stated that trey would probably be engaged in this work one or two months. "We have already been at work for five weeks, " enc said, "and while a great deal has been accomplished, 1t is an enormous task to examine and report upon the 12j mines of both coal and iron ore owned by the three companies"
 From one member of the committee 1t was learned that they regarded the iron ere deposits in this county as among the finest in the world of their character. No brown ore deposit outside of the MIn- nette deposit in France can equal 1t in tonnage, and that deposit carries very much less iron than the Russellville ore.
