DIVORCE
The conscience of the State Ina. re-
Gently been greatly awakened on the
subject OF divorce. Many uf TIE re-
iibious bodies of the State have passed
resolutions calling upon the Legislature
to check the great evil OF frequent d.
vorces. The constitution OF the State
provides, article 2, section 10: 1.-THE
General Assembly of the State shall
have power to pass general rules regu-
!ating divorce and alimony, but shall
not have power to grant divorce or
Sax ure allmony In any individual case"
This provision Was intended to restrain
the legislative body from being led
away from adherence to principal by
the hardship of .ny particular case,
but appeals to the legislative kin'lness
OF disposition have irsm time &C. time
oesn hased upon the terrible calamity
existing in individual cases OF married
life and the Legislature has responded
hy the adoption of general acts based
really on a single case. When these
acts have been passed, however, many
other like cases have been brought in

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The University of North Carolina
shows gratifying progress and is de-
ing good and thorough work Tor the
higher education OF the youth of the
State. The number Of students has
steadily grown and now is about 90
per cent. greater than 1t was four years
ago. The faculty ha, been enlarged
until it is yearly twice as numerous as
1t was at the lightning Of my admins
trstion. The facilities for doing the
highest work have been improved and
the University now stands ln::he front
rank of Southern Institutions.
It is lmreratively necessary that Its
income be increased to ut least $4,000

may continue to be done and teachers
provided for the growing classes. The
efficiency OF instruction mus. not be
sacrificed nor can. the State afford to
turn students fro.h it's doors.

PENSIONS.
No braAer men ever went to the front
in battle than the North Carolina SOL
diers In the civil war 1; no more heroic
women ever suffered with Quleter pa-
thence than those of our State during
the period of that awful contest. They
offered their lives and gave OF their
substance, everything to the cause OF
the Southern Confederacy. At the
time they were. in thu main, young
aud in no need. To-day they are old
and want the necessarles of life. The
State is paying out 5000, 600 annually
as a recognition of their services but
this Is not enough. Still further pro-
vision renains set to be made. The
first, second and third class pensioners
are not in 90 much need as the fourth
class pensioners. Provision should be
made Tor the gradual raising the PEN
sion for each member of the fourth
class until it shall reach $25. If, IN
your wisdom, you can zee your way

is safe to say, therefore, that the out
standing bonds may be settled at much
less than their face value. It ought to
be an easy matter to settle at reason

THE RUBBER COMPANY MERGER

THE RUBBER COMPANY MERGER.
 As to the mergers effect marketwise on the stock, outside of the speculative demands created, the matter is not so clear. For the $S,051 ,0OO Rubber Goods preferred and $1s.941, TOO common, as sun1ing that all this will be turned in, the United Rubber company issues $S,057, ,0O0 8 per cent, preferred and $10,- 100000 per cent. second preferred. The dividends on these two issues, which, while not compulsory, must be paid before the United Rubber common stock receives anything, calls for $1,- 240.0O0. This is about $10O,0GO more than the net earnings of the Rubber Goods company's controlled companies in 1904-5. From the United States Rubber common stockholders point of view, the earnings of the Rubber Goods company must be materially increased before the merger assumes inviting as pect If the past contains the promise of the future in this respect, the out look might be pronounced dubious. In 1901, the gross business of the Rubber Goods company was s14,S4S,0 GOO; in 1904 it had increased only to S14. .556,00O. In the same period the United States Rub- Der company's business increased $11,- 900, 900. New York Post

PASSED INTO THE OTHER LIFE


 May 15, 1905, Miss Julia Maria Leeke,
 Aged Sixty-three Years. #
 Miss Leeke was born in Hamden on the Leeke place, which has been in possession of the family since 1709. She was descended from Philip Leeke, and on the mothers side was lineal de- scendant of Stephen Goodyear, both original settlers Of the New Haven col ony.
 She early showed thirst for knowl- edge, and having suffered from poor teaching in the district schools deter mined to grasp better opportunities as soon as she could. Before the com pletion of her sixteenth year, the com mitteeman came to engage her to teach district school in the town, but when he saw her so. little (she after wards grew tall) he said he was afraid she would be unable to discipline the big boys. Her father spoke and said: q think she will have good govern ment. Her mother has in the family" So she took the school and the big boys, some of them a, year or two her sen iors, who became so interested in study that they forgot their pranks and were the gentlemen she expected them to be. After teaching two years or so, she took the money earned and enter ed the best private school in New Ha- ven, at that time kept by 8 Mrs. Par sons, school where French only was spoken. She made rapid progress. The next year or so she taught, always studying between times. Later she en- tered a school which gave attention to more solid studies, as mathematics, grasping and hoarding knowledge until she felt herself ready to begin the ac- complishment of her ambition, viz: To elevate the common district school to a higher standard. This she did. Par ticularly in the town of Woodbridge, where they so appreciated her work that they built a large new schoolhouse in the district where she taught, and called | it@the academy. Here she prepared | boys for college. Those less advanced, she encouraged to follow their natural bent, and many one has lived to bless | her.
 During the long years of pain so ! heroically borne, she would say, ESQ many years of uselessness, and I had hoped to make over the world. But l did accomplish something. I elevated

 Senator Donovan of Norwalk was considerably opposed to a, resolution giving the city of MKeriden the control of sales O. souvenirs at the time of the towns centennial, June 10, 1906, to control being for one week. The bill was passed.
 Senator Brown of Bridgeport called up the bill adversely reported, which provides for the abolition of compul- sory vaccination. He made an exhaus- tive defense of the bill, holding that compulsory vaccination should not be continued in Connecticut. Senator Whitney, representing the committee, said the bill had received the careful consideration of the committee on pub lie health and safety, and the report against the measure was practically unanimous. He asked for yea and nay vote on the bill. Senator Judson discussed the act and read one letter as typical of many which he had received opposing compulsory vaccination. Sen- ators Bradstreet of Thomaston and McGoyern of Hartford continued the debate. Senator Phelan said he should have to vote for the repeal of the law and said he was paired with Senator Wooster. The yea and nay vote was: Yeas, 15; nays, 1s. The report of the committee was sustained and the bill rejected providing for the repeal of compulsory vaccination. na.
