in 1895. The total for the period
1S91-19O3 was 1850. and the average
per 10000 marriages for the period
1S96-19O2 was 1854.
In countries where divorce laws are
in force this record is only surpassed
by those of germany, 165; France,
1SO; Roumania, 204; Switzerland,
1872, and the United States, 612, di-
vorces for every 10000 marriages.
Mr.. Coghlan, the government sta
tistician, has divided the time since
1890 in two periods, and the average
number of divorces in Victoria has
increased from 1876 in the first
period 1S91-1S95, to 1854 in the sec
ond, 1S96-19O2. In 1908 there We're
ll9 divorces and 1905 marriages, Civ
ing an average per 10000 marriages
of 1865 for the II months, but COM
parison founded on one yearly period
is not altogether fair. 1t may. on the
whole, be concluded that divorces in
Victoria remain at a fairly constant
level, which though high, shows no
/ sign of any extraordinary increase be-
yond the proportional one to be ex-
pected with the increase of popula-
ton.
In New South Wales the figures
are much higher than they are IN
Victoria. An act similar 10 the VIC
torian measure came into force in
New South Wales in 1892, and the
number of divorce DEGREES at once
showed an increase-an almost
alarming increase. In the quinquen'
mum her Ot
divorces granted in New South Wales
was no fewer than 1887 against III
for the period Immediately preceding
it. This total gives an average ,
: 272.S divorces per 10000 marriages
which is much more than double th'
average in Victoria during the SAM
wears. and is exceeded only by tn Is'
for Switzerland and the Unite
States. In the period 1S96-1eO2 tn
number of divorces granted in New
South Wales was 1875, an average Q
1854 per 10000 marriages, the thlr'
greatest among all countries whcr
divorces are in force.

REJECTED ROCKEFELLER.
Woman Who Turned Down Oil Mag
nate Now i'm Poor House.


An isolated world is the county hos
pital; it has it's nobility and its ca
naille, says the Los Angeles Dispatch.
The unique parsonage as well as
the most select in the diversified COM
munity is Miss Mary Barbeaux. To-
day she received and scorned the
third summons to go east to claim
S65O.OOO recently left her by the will
of her uncle.
Fifty years ago Miss Barbeaux,
then Just out of Vassar college, did
something just as remarkable as her
refusal of the inheritance. While the
aged woman herself will not discuss
the interesting bit of history, it is
more than gossip that Miss Barbeaux
rejected the suit of John d. Rookie
feller, now the richest man IN the
world.
When it is known that the woman
who now passes the hours of sunlight
I'm a rocker on the glass covered porch
of the women's ward of the county
hospital was an intimate friend OF
| President Garfield, the thought that
! she rejected an opportunity TO be-
come mistress of the greatest fortune
that was ever accumulated, perhaps,
will not seem startling.
Miss Barbeaux has arrived at that
age when she admits that memory
regarding the date of her birth Is a
superfluity. Forgetting gallantry Tor
a moment, her age is hazarded at 10
Her hair is snow white, her race
alive with intellectually. She has the
air of an aristocrat: the brow Of
poetess. She is a graduate of Vassar
college and was instructor in the
higher branches of learning In some
of the best colleges of New York
state for years.
All this is aside. Miss Barbeaux's
chief claim to distinction is the fact
that she prefers poverty, poverty al
most to humiliation, to the grea'
wealth which would be thrust npor
her.
Miss Barbeaux's philosophy Is
summed up in one Of her sentences

tucked the letter away in her wrapper

AUSTRALIAN DIVORCES.
Average is Large, But Still Lower
Than the United States.

American Consul Cooling of New
castle, New South Wales, sends the
following report to the department
Of commerce and labor on the sub
iect of Australian divorces:
Divorces in the Australian states
are more numerous than in most of
the countries of the world, though the
average is far below that reached in
the United States. The number is
particularly large in Victoria and
New South Wales, where the facilities
for procuring divorce are greater
than they are in the other states

Of 1890 which made desertion fol-
three years a ground for divorce ir

100 per annum, the greatest number

YELLOW FEVER AT NEW Or
LEANS APPEARS TO HAVE
BEEN CHECKED.

New Orlenas, July 27.-Two addi-
tional deaths from yellow fever were
unoffcially reported to the city board
of health during the day, making
thirty-six in all since July Is. No re-
ports of new cases were received The
city board has decided to make one
daily report to the state board, in the
evening, of cases and deaths.
The reports of cases to date made
to the city board indicate a slow
spread of the fever. There are now
fourteen foci, one of them at Buckeye,
in North Louisiana, of an Italian who
escaped from the French market Sec
ton. His case was fatal There are
three foci above Canal street and one
in Algiers.. These cases have all been
directly traced to the French market
vicinity.
The bulk of the thirty-six deaths
have been in the French market Sec
ton. The sanitary conditions there
have been vers- bad and large fami-
lies of Italians have been found crowd
ed into very small spaces. In one in
stance twenty-seven, people were
found living in three rooms. The con-
gested conditions in this n3ighborhood
were responsible for the rapid devel-
opment of the fever. y.

coRTELYou HITS HARD.
Breaks All Records In Issuance Of
Fraud Orders.

Washington, July 27.-Postmaster
General Cortelyou has made a record
for himself as an exterminator of
fraudulent concerns unequaled by any
predecessor in his Office. During the
four months he has been in Office he
has issued more fraud orders than any
preceding postmaster general signed
in any two years in the corresponding
months of April. May, June and July.
During this period there have been
157 orders of this sort issued, or about
the number put into effect during the
first six years of the fraud order law.
During the corresponding period of
1904 Postmaster General Payne issued
seventy-one fraud orders and the year
preceding but forty.
The increase is due in the main, it
is said, to the new system the present
postmaster general has adopted for
the use of inspectors for revealing
fraudulent concerns throughout the
country and for bringing them to JUS
tice. &.- .sa#&.
