LAWYER VIEW OF DIVORCE
This Complex Question Is One Not
Easily Settled oHhand.

There is just now an epoch of di.
vorce agitation. This agitation is
mostly due to the clergy; and nat.
urally, therefore, takes its trend from
the clergyman's point Of view. Nat.
urally, also, the public press largely
reflects the action of those who make
themselves busiest in the movement,
falls in with the idea of the strongest
current, and floats in its general di.
rection, says Mr.. Ernest Dale Owen
in August Arena.
The lawyer, however, comes direct.
ly in contact with the very living and
practical thing itself, and ought to be
heard in the general movement to.
ward a solution Of the question. The
assistance he may be in suggesting
what his experience leads him to say
is based, not on cases actually brought
and tried. and that become public,
but on the scores Of Instances where
men and women lay bare before him
their innermost lives for his counsel
instances of which the world, and
even the clergy know little.

Farnum went to Virginia to study I'D
the dialect Of the true Southerner.
He found in an old.time virginian
who kept a cigar store what seemed
to him a very promising subject, but
all his attempts to draw the old gen.
tleman into conversation were futile,
the latter answering him only in non
committal monysyllables. Finally in
despair he made a clean breast of it,
explaining that he was an actor who
had to play a Southern role in a new
play, and that being himself from the
North. he wanted to learn from the
people OF the South themselves how
to Initiate their talk. The old gentle
man heard his confession with pity
and then remarked in an u%nprintable
dialect richer than any Farnum had
ever heard: Dialect? You.aIl dom ak.

The martial relation is the most

Church. law, the various forms of eth.
ical PRONUNCIATION are all puny factors,
SO formative Of society, compared to
the characters which the individuals
of humanity bring with them into their
lives at the start. And the thing that
controls such individual characters is
the relation of the parents to one an.

The responsibility of influencing this

for it certainly was an oasis. While
you we're drinking soda and wishing
the time away, you overheard some
thing about ''the parade" and pricking
up your ears, you gathered that it was
to take place the next night. With a
sigh of relief you put down your five
cents with a cheerful heart. You GER

worth of good out of that drink!
By the time you got back to your room
your long-looked for roommate had ar

OF course you introduced yourself and
shook hands, and then set to work to
size him up. He was tall fellow, pow
erfully built and dark. He was from
Aroostook county and you soon found
out that he knew less about college
ways and customs than did you, and
you felt very old in wisdom when you
advised him to either take off his prep.

seemed to be interested in all you had
to say, and had played foot ball a little,
he said, and you concluded that you
would like him very we'll when you

AN UGLY THREAT.

A Tinsmith Alarmed by the Trembling of

Greatest Anxiety.
1t is a much easier task to meet the at
tack of an open enemy than to dwell in con-
slant dread of an assault in the dark that
is vaguely limited at and may come at the
first unguarded moment. Hints of possible
nervous breakdown may we'll terrify any
workingman for his command over his
nerves is a large part of his capital. Mr..
William Browne, of No. 1919 Lincoln street,
St. Joseph, Mo-, is an expert timer in the
employ of the National Biscuit Co. He
tells the following story of trying ex-
perience.
"ln the spring of 1902" he says, "while I
was regularly working at my trade, grew
somewhat careless in my habits of eating
and drinking, and finally found that my
appetite was tickle, bad taste fingered in
my mouth, my nerves twitched and were
beyond my control, my kidneys were out Of
order and cold sWeats would break out
over my body at odd times. Perhaps, while
l stood talking with some one, this tremb-
ling of the limbs, and profuse sweating,
and severe chill would seize me. l be-
came alarmed at my condition and, having
read an advertisement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, l got a box and began to use
them. They helped me at once. After
had used one box the twitching of the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach and
the cold sweats stopped and have not re-
appeared. and my appetite is good. have
told several friends that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are all right and recommend
them to everybody"
Much has been said and written recently
about medicines that contain alcohol and,
while most of the criticism has been un-
necessarily alarming, it is evident that
remedy in pill form is certain to be free
from objection on this score. Furthermore,

are absolutely guaranteed to be entirely
harmless to the most delicate constitution

will cure you. proof will be furnished; if
they are not suited for your trouble, you

The New Railroad,

Word has been received that the Italian
who was injured by blast in the rock and
was carried to the hospital in Bangor is
improving rapidly and it is thought that he
will recover. The others who were injured
are gaining and will soon be able to work
again.
The railroad commissioners have passed
upon petitions for proposed highway cross
1ngS on the line of the Northern Maine Sea-
port railway, between Lagrange and Stock
ton Springs, and on spur track to Cape
JelliSOn. In the construction of the road.
whenever it is possible for the highway
crossing to pass under the railway, they
will be made to do so.
Work on the bridge piers across the
Marsh river is being pushed rapidly. One
large pier and two small ones have already
been completed and crews are at work on
the other ones. A crew of men are at work
on the telegraph line of the railroad and at
this writing have one wire strung as far as
the Carleton meadow in Winterport. The
poles were set several weeks ago.
The Pennsylvania Steel Co. received at
Bucksport Thursday the Orders for the
bridge to be erected at Standpoint high
way. These girders weigh 20 tons, but the
huge derrlckS in the cOmpany's yard lifted
| this weight as easily as they would two
planks. The Standpoint highway bridge
| is single span, 70 feet long.
In an editorial on "The Future of Maine
the Bangor Commercial says: "We often
wonder if the people of Maine are fully in
realization that new and most important
railroad is now being built in eastern
Maine. Nowhere in New England is 8
great trunk line railway being built but In
Maine, and in Eastern Maine at that. In
deed it may be said that nowhere in all the
Atlantic States save in eastern Maine is a
great railway system being constructed this
year. This enterprise is that of the Northern
Maine Seaport railway, line 81 miles il
length, with large and expensive piers or
the Atlantic seaboard. the construction Of
which will involve an outlay of about 49,,
100000. The connections of this railway
are OF great Importance. 1t connects witt
the great Bangor & Aroostook system ant
with its seaport terminus assumes a fal
greater importance than that attaching tt
any other Maine railway. Not only this
the new seaport railway having its interior
connections with railways operating
through the rich and vast Aroostook section
will create a new development of north

fleeing to the North and West, carry
ing their household goods on their
backs, or encamped gypsy fashion to
rest while some of their number were
dying. Until the beginning of March
there was no sickness in the street on
which my friend lived; but one morn
ing at sun rise she heard the bell of the
acolyte who accompanies the priest on
his way to the dying, and knew what
to expect. That evening three coffins
were taken from the opposite house,
and an hour later the police burned the
clothes of the victims, their furniture
and every article the house co ntained.
During the next few weeks the dead
numbered from $50 to 800 a day and
the municipal dirt-carts were used in
the moving of them.

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. 6. A. R.

Preparations for Entertaining the Veterans
in Denver. The Frontier Day Carnival in
Cheyenne.
To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL
Great preparations are now under way
for the entertainment of the e. A. R.
in Denver the week of Sept. 4th. Head
quarters have been opened opposite the
Albany Hotel on State street, and a
large force of clerks employed to assist
the various committees in arranging
the entertainment for the visitors. One
of the best arranged excursions is that
coming from Boston under charge of
Col. Innis. He came to Denver some
months ago and arranged for ample
accommodations for the New England
delegates and friends, securing the best
accommodations that could be obtained
before the others came here. He has
secured the best rooms from three new
houses on Fifteeth and Sixteenth streets,
and wherever he takes his party they are
to have the best, both in railroad and
hotel accommodations. At Colorado
Springs they will go to the Alamo Hotel,
at Manitou the Cliff House. At Cheyenne
stop will be made for the Frontier Day
Carnival. Chicago Council Bluffs, Oma-
ha, Cheyenne, Greeley, Denver, Colora-
do Springs, Manitou, Pixies Peak, Pueb-
10 and Kansas City are all to be seen.
We have not been advised Of any party
personally conducted that will equal it
and the New England people who join
Col. Innis at Boston will have most
delightful time. That our eastern friends
may get some idea of the Frontier Day
Carnival, which has been held at Chey-
enne for number of years and will be
held this year at the time the G. A. R.
are coming through Cheyenne, l en-
close a partial program Of the enter
tainment.
Our city and country never looked
better than they do now. The fields are
in fine condition from the abundant
rains of this spring. The farmers are
raising good crops. Denver is prosper
ing, fine buildings going up on nearly
every street, and people who visited it
two or three years ago will be greatly
surprised at the changes and improve
ments that have taken place since that
time.
The old soldiers, who have been so
royalty entertained in all the most
prominent cities of the country, will be
surprised when they reach our western
city and get genuine western well
come. Many look upon our country as
new and rough section, hardly away
from the log cabin and canvas tent
stage. 1t will be- surprise to find
Denver a cleaner and more advanced
city than many of her eastern sisters
hundred or more years older in age.
But the most interesting feature will
be the early day sports that will be
given them at the Frontier Day cele-
bration. DIRIGo.
