A uvSGUsTING CASE.

It is encouraging to know that the almost unspeakably disreputabie rag
 gart divorce case Is about ended. The 1 whole affair. with its charges and counter-charges, filthy revelations and its more filthy suggestions. is a disgrace to the army. to the American people and to our common humanity.
 And one of the most disgusting fea- lures of the case has been Taggart on the witness stand. In the words of a contemporary, here Is found an officer of the American army, where chivalry If anywhere. should have it's home, summoning into a public court, to de- fend herself, the woman he had made his wife and who had bore him chill dren. He makes against her accusa- tions the most frightful and revolting and goes or the witness stand to testi- fy. in .horrid detail, to establish those charges. facing her, from day to day. in the effort to prove her unclean."
 It does seem that a man with any sense of manhood or chivalry. or even of common decency. could have avoided putting HI SuIh q pOSltiOAs II she is the kind of woman he is trying to prove her to be there could certainly have been found way to establish 1t without becoming the principal witness against her himself. standing up before prurient and eager audience day after day to prove that his own wife Is little better than a beast. To quote again from a contemporary, The Omaha World Herald:
 Regardless of the truth or falsity of the accusations, his action Is shameful The children are alive and present in the town in which the trial is held. The was a pure woman when he welded her; she was introduced by him into the ways of wild and riotous living; and she has been guilty. if at all. of no sins If the woman had fallen, it was he that led her among the pitfalls. At the best, and at the worst, she was still entitled were entitled to the protection of both of them.
 The woman may have been guilty of all that her husband charges. but he, at least, Is not the man to bear witness against her. There is no evidence to show that he has been clean, decent or honorable, or that his conduct as a man and an offcer has been such as to au- thorize him to cast stones at her. If the other officers have any respect for themselves or their calling they will blacklist him, no matter how the pres ent case ends. Unless the morale of the service has fallen very low 1t should have no place for an officer who, en- deavors to consign his own wife to the utmost depths of disgrace and infamy. The army would be the better for the absence of the Taggart brand of off, cers.

THE BOIL WEEYIL.
Report That the Insect Is DIsappearinm

Canebrake (Uniontown) Herald.
 In 9 recent interview with the edi- tor of the Selma Journal, MT. William Black. manager for Avery & Sons, of Louisville, who had lately returned from tour through Texas, assures that paper that the dreaded Mexican boil weevil has almost entirely dlsap- peared from that state. Mir Black says: "A remarkable thing Is that you never hear of the boil weevil nowa- ago, dire apprehension was felt for the little pest. and predictions were freely made that he would again destroy acre to have disappeared entirely" This Is, indeed, glorious news-however, Texas has suffered great damage to her cot ton crop, this year, from drought while we, in Alabama, have suffered even more from continued rains. Such is life. We can't always get what we

Disease and Door Knobs,

The Lancet. which delights in "rais- ing" the publics hair by discovering new and unsuspected sources of infec- ton, is after the doorknob as q spread CT of courageous disease. From strict bacteriological point of view, 1t says, all door handles. even those which present a clean and polished ap- pearance are probably dirty" Hence. If door handles cannot be kept clean, which is obvious, they ought to be abolished in favor of some method which dispenses with actual contact of the skin. There Is much to be said in favor of foot lever instead of taps in the lavatory.
 The handles of the English railway coaches are cited by The Lancet as par ticularly liable to spread infection and for this reason it urges the adoption of the American corridor car
 A sufferer from courageous disease of the skin or scalp is undoubtedly liable after scratching, to deposit infective material on whatever he touches with his hands. and it is very probable that a certain proportion of such diseases are contracted by this means The hand grips on open trolley cars may be an eficient agency for evil in this way

Col. W. H. Denson writes card to The Birmingham Age-Heraid in which among other things he says:
 A citizen of St. Clair or any other county, comes to Birmingham to shop. When he proposes to return home he Is though 1t brought him in, unless he has a health certificate to leave Birm- TnRharn Can the merchants and shop Keepers submit to such7 Does it ad- vance your trade? Glorious Birming- ham, mighty in all its productive en- ergies. has now assumed the moral right of protecting the whole world tax on persons who deserve to leave the city. Does such regulations keep yellow fever out of Birmingham, or prevent its spread to other localities if Birmingham has no yellow fever? Such regulations are generating in the minds of spreading yellow fever by allowing a Birmingham person to leave its sacred precincts.
 We must confess that we have often wondered why health certificate was required of persons leaving Birming- ham and the exaetion of a bill therefor. The Birmingham quarantine regula- tions have been past finding out this season. The authorities there seem to have the biggest case of fright in the United States But as Colonel Denson asks, why levy a tax on persons de string to leave the city9'

Caught the Train.

In little village in the Ozarks
says the Kansas City Star, a guest
at the hotel wished to catch the early
morning train, and asked to be call
ed at $3.50. Having no alarm clock
and no clerk, the landlord sat up all
night to make sure of arousing him
i'm time.
The hotel keeper found it rather
hard to keep awake, but at $3.50
promptly he knocked at the guests
door.
Get up" he said in surly tone.
ITS $3.50"
The guest turned over and grunt-
ed in sleepy laziness. "Oh, ! guess
I'll let that train go and sleep till ~
he said.
mo ye won't, either!" shouted the
landlord, and emphasized his re-
marks by shooting three or four shots
into the floor of the hallway from the
revolver with which he had guarded
the hotel. " Isat up all night to get
you up on time, and you'll get up, or
I'll know the reason WHY"
There was an ample persuasive
ness about the way he said it, and the
guest got up and caught his train.
