VExAmoUs LITIGATION.
Law Enacted For the Relief Of County
Commissioners.

The boards of commissioners OF
many counties in the state. through
madvertence, or mistake, have failed
to comply with the provisions of sec
ton 754 of The Code in the manner
Of auditing accounts and claims
against their several counties, while
no injustice or wrong has been done
the counties and some of the com
missioners have been threatened with
vexatious litigation for penalties on
account of their failure to have every
account verified strictly in accordance
with the provision of The Code. To
remedy this the Legislature enacted
a law releasing all persons who have
been or are now members of such
boards, from any provisions of section

QUIT TO TAKE BETTER JOB
ADMINISTRATION DISPLEASED AT
RESIGNATION OF CHIEF EN-
GiNEER WALLACE.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 30.-The
resignation of Chief Engineer Wallace
of the isthmian canal commission has
been accepted. The resignation was
rendered at a conference in New York
between Mr.. Wallace and Secretary
Taft. Mr.. Wallace received while in
Panama an offer of position with a
great corporation, the name of which
is withheld, at a salary of 100000 per
annum. His salary with the Panama
canal commission and as chief engl-
neer of the canal was $4,000 year.
When he told Secretary Taft that he
desired to accept the offer which had
been rendered to him the secretary
expressed to Mr.. Wallace his feeling
in the matter, but he accepted his res
ignation after a conference with the
president at Boston to take effect i'm.
mediately.
There is no concealment by the adj
mintstration of it's feeling regarding
Mr.. Wallace's tender at this time OF
his resignation 1t is felt that he has
not acted fairly with the government
in accepting comparatively recently
the responsibility of directing the ca
nal construction and now offering his
resignation at time which is regard
ed as crucial in the work of the canal.
It Is said he not only accepted the
position as chief engineer, but sought
1t and expressed his entire satisfac-
ton with the salary given to him by
the government.

DEN MARK.
Copenhagen.

An American physician named So
han, has written an extensive article
in the Politiken Copenhagen in which
he claims that Greenland is an excel
lent place for consumptives. The doc
tor himself has been cured from con-
sumption on the island, and this by
accompanying the American Arctic ex-
plorer Peary during two of his trips to
that section of the globe. DR.. Sohan,
having been cured from the much
dreaded disease while in Greenland, is
now enthusiastically advocating the
building of a modern sanatorium on
the island, and has succeeded in in
teresting several wealthy Americans,
who are suffering from consumption to
the climate there a trial An expedi-
ton with which several prominent con-
sumptives have registered as members,
will leave Halifax for Greenland July
IS. They contemplate returning to
America during the latter part OF
September. The results of this eX-
petition will be awaited with much in
terest in the medical world, and should
Greenland do what DR.. Sohan claims it
can, it is tolerably certain that funds
will speedily be Forthcoming for the
erection there of an up-to-date sana-
forum.
A correspondent from Aarhus claims
that the Langskov church has an altar
painting which dates back to 1880. The
painting has recently been looked over
by experts from Copenhagen who de-
clare it to be the oldest painting in
Denmark The picture has been pho
tographed by the curator of the nation
al museum.
The Danish papers speak with great
anxiety regarding the recent crisis and
seem to rather favor the protest which
King Oscar has uttered against the de-
cree of deposing him from the throne
of Norway.

Felix Adler Against Divorce.
The Literary Digest's summary Of
the recently published book entitled
Marriage and Divorce" by DR.. Felix
Adler, head Of the Ethical Culture So
ciety in New York, shows that the po-
sition Of this radical unorthodox think
er is more uncompromising against di-
vorce than that of the orthodox Chris
tan churches He says that zone can
no more disown his spouse than he can
disown his child" He thinks that the
usual reasons in favor Of divorce rest
upon the misconception Of the purpose
of marriage. His conception is the pro-
motion of the spiritual life of the
world and the comforting Of benefits
Of moral growth one upon the other.
He admits the wisdom Of separation in
case Of moral incompatibility, but not
divorce He does not even accept adul-
terry as ground for divorce, although it
may justify separation. The right to
remarry he would not grant to the
guilty because Of inability to fulfill the
marriage relation To the innocent it
seems unnecessary to grant remar-
riage, because he cannot understand
how a person Of fine feelings who has
been dishonored through no fault Of his
or hers should wish to turn in new
direction. AS to duty he does not see
how one can be discharged from it.
Though the pledge Of honor has been
violated by one side that does not an
null it for the other. DR.. Adler does
not, however, sympathize with the Or
thodox idea that the marriage bond is,
permanent because God Is a party to-
