CHILD MARRIAGES
IN DISTANT INDIA

In India religious obligations render
marriage almost universal, and in the
caste system it is the leading factor.
Infant marriage and enforced widow
hood are ancient usages in the higher
castles, but for nearly a century these
practices-espeeially the latter-have
rapidly extended, owing to Brahmanical
influence, and notions of social dis
tinction.
Hindu marriage customs affect AMI
mists, Mahomedans and even Christ
ians; and railways have greatly en-
larged the area of caste prejudices.
Infant marriage is not usually fol.
lowed by cohabitation, except in Ben
gal, where the physiological evils are
serious. These evils must increase as
the system extends to lower castles.
Mahomedans have fewer child-wives
but at the child-bearing ages the mar
ried women are relatively more num-
erous. Child marriage is least frequent
in the extreme east of India, most
frequent in Berar and Bibar.
Polygamy is not common-there are
l0ll wives to 1000 husbands in India
as whole-the excess of wives being
greatest among Animists and wealthy
Mahomedans. Polyandry survives to
a limited extent in the Madras presi-
dency and in the Himalayan tracts.

other early arrival. He wears a white
wool hat, with a Prince Albert coat,
but, being a millionaire, he can do
such things. Harry s. New, the most
popular member of the committee
and one of the wisest, came early and
has been buster than man filling
three jobs. He has probably the least
enviable job in the United States, in
clluding Guam, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. 1t is up to New to crowd
1900 newspaper men into 800 seats.
He hasn't found a way to do it, but
the editors send him kilograms and
letters every day insisting that their
applications be honored. If they
should get ugly, New has 1000 roasts
in prospect. Judson W. Lyons, whose
autograph appears on every piece of
paper money issued by the govern
ment, was also early on the ground
He is the registrar of the treasury.
Lyons is colored man, tall and hav-
ing a military bearing, and halls from
Georgia. Senator Ankeny came with
the proxy of Committeeman G. ii.
Baker of Goldendale, Wash Senators,
congressman, governors and state
leaders, all members of the commit
tee, are here in imposing array.
Secretary Dover has been working
every day from s o'clock in the morn
ing until midnight. He has had to
arrange the documents relating to
the contests, battle with n deluge of
applications for tickets and answer
an infinite variety of queries about
the convention. AS a result of it all,
he is not only unruffied, but genial.
Each visitor is received as cordially
and given as much time and consid-
Grafton as though the matter in which
he is interested were the only order
of the day. He can get through with
as much work in day as Cortelyou,
who is just about the limit, and be
sociable besides. One great secret of
his ability to accomplish so much
without becoming hollow-eyed and
wrinkled is that he has the quick
judgment that was so characteristic
of the late Senator Hanna. When a
matter comes up he decides 1t on the
spot. and that Is the end of it. There
Is no worrying.
1t is interesting to observe the ex-
tent to which the spirit OF Hanna
hangs over this assemblage Of his
former COLLEAGUES. The name of the
treat loader Is constantly on the lips
of men. His picture Is everywhere.
In many of the problems that have
confronted the committee .he GueS-
ton has arisen, Nv hat would Hanna
do?" An illustration of this cans

ON LUCAS

of the 'bluff'' variety.
Further along the attack says ac-
cording to Butte information that
against President Lucas. How true
that is is not known, but it is safe
to say charges" in this case are
Just so much bluff talk" on the part
of the Review.
In the next paragraph Lucas is
roundly scored for sending expensive
kilograms" instead of taking a train
for Salt Lake on the occasion of the
arrest of Umpire Jones, apparently
at the instigation of those interested
in the Mormon team. One will at
least allow Lucas the use of his own
judgment, and not insist on his hop
ping about the circuit under expense
at every call.
Then the statement is made the
president attacked Salt Lake papers.
Every newspaper will allow any in
dividual space to reply to criticism
under his own signature. Lucas ar
ticle can not in all justice be called
an attack. 1t was nothing more or
less than the reply to the attack on
himself. Further, it says that 'trou-
BILE with newspapers is chronic in
ferring it was habit with the presi-
dent to fight the papers.
That's all nonsense" said Lucas
this morning. Me attacking the pa
pers would be like my shooting with
popgun against a cannon. I don't
think I have ever had much trouble
with the papers. I don't object to
criticism at all, but ! do object to
malicious fabrications'
Further on President Williams of
the local club, as usual, puts his foot
in 1t like he did after the first Butte
series when he practically said games
| had been thrown away to Butte to
Review, Williams has decided to say
| nothing for publication in reference
to this (Jones) natter A pity, in
| deed. Much weight rests upon any
thing Williams says in baseball.
The last paragraph boosts Charley
| Lane for president of the league. No
| better or truer spot than Lane ever
existed, in my opinion, but l hardly
think he will allow his name to be
used to knock the man who has now
| the reins of this league in hand.

up in connection with the Wisconsin
contest. There Is a solid republican
state rendered doubtful, in the judg-
ment Of many men. by a contest be-
tween two great factions.
Hanna's pictures are in evidence in
the committee rooms at the Coliseum.
A life-size photograph of him hangs
over the secretary's desk. On an
other wall is a splendid snapshot Of
the great leader one of the best ever
made, that was brought in by Chi
cago man. The official call for this
convention, bearing Hanna's auto
graph signature, has been framed and
given a place Of honor at headauar-
tiers. Pictures of him are to be found
also in the other rooms. There are
photographs of Mckinley and Roose-
welt but in the ratio Of about three
to one with Hanna. 1t has been pro-
posed to have as the only picture
displayed In the convention hall a
portrait of the dead leader.

An unjust and uncalled for attack
on w. II. Lucas, president of the
Pacific National league, in Sundays

n writer who harbors personal spite.
has created a big stir and sensation
among local baseball fans.
called on the president this morn
ing in regards to the matter at the
request of a crowd of irate fans
every one staunch business man
and on asking Mr.. Lucas for reply
to the attack he merely laughed.
Don't care to go into print on the
matter" he said, "other than to say
the personal dislike of the man to-
wards me is well known, as in the
past he has said he intended to rub
ii in at every opportunity. Personal
malice is sticking out of the article
everywhere"
Lucas had the article in his pocket
and drew it forth. He then went over
every sentence with more or less
pointed comment.
The article starts off with Base
ball fans who have kept close watch
of affairs" and to this Mr.. Lucas says
the writer started in by taking the
names of the fans in vain in this
instance to hide his own hand Fur
ther down the column the article con-
tinues: THE opposition to President
Lucas has grown with extraordinary
rapidity since the announcement was
made in the papers that we would
take away the franchise of the Salt
Lake club"
Lucas claims never to have made
the assertion, but he did say the club
was liable TO lose its franchise. Lucas
nor no one else has power vested in
him which will allow the taking of a
franchise from a club. This power
is vested in the directors of the
league.
Continuing, the writer says, that
Lucas statements that there are
other towns just as good as Salt
Lake is all bluff talk.
Lucas objected strongly to this
statement. 1t is well known that
Lucas is very conservative and does
very little talking at all. much less

food in congress. His generous proper

in the food question. Last winter was
