but on the front end of the baggage
car. Whether they were going to Bar
Harbor or the Moosehead region Is not
known. and when they were seen it
was taken for granted that they did
not hold the necessary passports and
the officer and Mr.. Meader took after
them. The summer visitors took the
hint-and the race was on: it was not
n 1o0-yard contest. or n go. nor n
straightaway. but kind of cross
country run Of the fastest kind The
hoboes ran down the platform and up
Winthrop hill, where game of hide
and-coop was played around the Lith-
cow librarw by way of diversion. and
then they broke cross lots to Pleasant
street and later down to Flagg street
place, one taking refuge in Eben Beal's
stable where he was captured. Another
hied himself down around into the
North End country and evidently be-
lieving he would be taken for a part
of the material in the O'Connor junk
store-and was also captured. They
were marched to the police station
where they later adjusted matters to
the satisfaction of the police and went
their way. more tired If not more sad.

while in some of the western and Pa
cific coast states incOmpatibility of
temper is sufficient.
To reconcile the views of New York
and Washington on this point would be
a work of many years. Moreover the
prejudices of the south with respect
TO the marriage of white and colored
is an obstacle in the path of uniform
ity. But there are some points on
which the states might agree. They
might agree 10 allow no divorce to a
person who has not been a resident
of the state at least one year before
filing his or her petition. They might
agree 10 allow no decree at the term
at which the petition was filed and
TO permit remarriage TO no person di-
vorced within the state or elsewhere
within the year.
These are matters in which some
states have acted for themselves and
without awaiting the concurrence of
Others. but such legislation 10 be most
effective should exist in all the states,
so that a divorced citizen of Illinois,
denied the right TO remarry within his
own state within the year, could not
evade the law by slipping over into
Indiana. Wisconsin or Iowa.
