SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s,--The
man whose genius and honesty saved
Washington from falling into the
hands of the confederacy during the
civil war, leads lonely, solitary en-
istence in Piedmont, a few miles
from San Francisco, forgotten and
neglected by the nation he has served
SO well.
When the war of the rebellion
broke out it became known to Cen
eral Wise, who was then governor
of Virginia, that A. A. Boschke, an
engineer, was the only person pos
sessing n typographical map of the
District of Columbia. knowing the
value of such map, Wise sent a
messenger to Washington with a bag
of gold to the amount of $4,000 in
the hope of bribing Boschkc to give
up the map. Martial law had been
declared In the district, however and
General Scott, hearing of the messen-
gers arrival. caused his arrest. A
telegram was then sent to Boschke by
Scott asking where the map could be

l can think of no stronger words
In which to express my opinion on
divorce than to repeat what l have
previously said--that the divorce
court is the Canada to which the
wives of brutal husbands may flee,
as the slaves of brutal masters once
fled to the home of liberty beyond
that land of the free" which held
them in bondage of body and soul.
The priests and preachers who would
take away this refuge from the vic
tins of slavery in marriage had their
prototypes in the overseers and Of
ficers of the law who followed the
slaves of ante-bellum days to the
very borders of Canada and dragged
them back to servitude and misery.
And the infamous laws of the north
ern states which permitted this out
rage against humanity find their
counterpart in the canons of the
church which bar forever the door
of escape from those who would flee
from the oppression and indignity
that may be legally exercised in we'd
look.
But may not this blessed privilege
be abused? OF course it may. The
most beneficent laws on the statute
books often are perverted from their
excellent intent and made to serve
unworthy purposes. Shall we there
fore abilsh all those laws? No;
rather shall we safeguard them as
| far as possible from misuse and
strengthen other laws which bear
upon them.
I'm order to do this with the divorce
statutes, we must revise those on
marriage. So long as we permit in
various states the legal age of con-
sent for girl to be from IL to Is
years lin Tennessee IA for boy and
in others from 16 to 49,, are we not
morally bound to provide some means
by which they may escape the con-
sequences of their youthful folly? SO
long as it remains the case that there
is not one solitary restriction placed
the contracting parties shall at the
time be legally welded to another,
are we not compelled. for the good of
society, to have some remedy at
hand by which the inevitably disas-
trous results may be. in a measure,
counteracted?
The present situation, where the
insane, the idiotic, the epileptic, the
drunkards, the diseased and the
vicious may freely intermarry and re-
produce their kind, il too enormous
for discussion in this brief article.
Even for those who are normal,
there should be some safe guarding
in this most momentous action, but
on the contrary, the law places more
restrictions upon the simplest bust
ness contract. In some states, the
mere living together constitutes mar
riage; in others. there must be
written agreement; many require no
license or legal papers; none demands
a previous announcement, and only

oblong. Wash half a cup of butter in
cold water and work until smooth, pat
ting out all the water; then shape into
one-third the size of the pastry, laying
it in the middle and folding one side
evenly over it and the other side on top
thus: Fold one end over and the other
end under the butter, pat gently to
press out any air bubbles, then roll in
to oblong strip. Fold again evenly to
make three layers, turn half round and
roll again. Repeat the folding and roll
ing twice more, and the pastry Is ready
for USE This process sounds tedious,
but really is very simple. The paste
should be soft enough to roll easily, but
not be sticky.
Pastry should not be rolled back and
forth. Instead, long continuous mo-
ton from the point nearest the operator
to the other side should be used, press
ing lightly with the rolling pin. To
shape it use sweeping motion to the
side, but always lift the rolling PIN
and start in again at the point near
