Seven Causes for Divorce.

The national divorce congress, which
began its sessions at Philadelphia the
other day with the object CT initiating a
uniform national divorce law. had a mem
bership of 120 delegates from nearly ev-
cry State. Seven causes of divorce to
be incorporated in the law were agreed
upon-adultery, bigamy, conviction and
sentence for crime followed by con-
tinuous Imprisonment for ut least two
years, extreme cruelty such as to endan-
ger life or health, habitual drunkenness
for two years and willful desertion for
the same length of time. On tae question
of age there was much discussion. Sew
eral men advocated the ages os 81 and 10,
respectively, for men and women, but
this was opposed By two women dele
gates, who thought the age of matrimonial
consent should be fixed at Is and 16

EdiSOn's Future City.

Considerable discussion has been arOus-
ed by a signed prophecy of Thomas \.
Edison, detailing what our large cities
will be like 100 years hence. He says
they will be free from smoke and steam,
and that the chimney will be a thing of
the past, while the waste OF coal and 9th
err fuel will be stopped through the use
of electricity, generated direct from the
fuel without the aid Of engine, boiler or
dynamo. In factories each machine will
have its individual motor. Houses will
be heated electrically, and most of the
cities noises will cease. Skyscrapers will
be universal in the business section, and
the streets will be bridged over at diff
ferent heights to facilitate transit from
one side to the other. He estimates that
buildings will then average thirty stories
in height, and the greater number will
be constructed of concrete and steel. Such
buildings, ne says, will stand thousand
years or longer. His new battery will
make electricity portable for street We
hicles or airships.

Do Spiders Like nrusfcY

It has often been said that spiders
are fond of music, but a French inves.
tigator, NJ, Lecaillou. now asserts that
this is not true. He says that their
musical sense must be attributed mere
ly to greed or to hunger. When a fly
is caught in spiders web it buzzes,
and the spider Immediately makes for
the place from which the buzzing
comes. M. Lecaillou, by experimenting
with violin, some flies, piano, vio-
loncello and a cornet, found that only
those musical sounds which resemble
the buzzing of the flies attracted the
spiders. The cornet, for instance, in
variably frightened it, and so did the
piano.

The crash in which the North German
Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse was struck by the British royal
mail steamer OrnOco. disabled the for

the voyage to New York.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and
the OrinOco both were outward bound
from Southampton via CherbOurg. the
one for New York and the other for
West Indian ports. The shock was
terrific, causing a panic among the pas
sengers on board the vessels, especially
among the emigrants. On the Orinoco
three men and woman were killed
and six women and q man were in
jured, and five persons were thrown

bound for ChefbOurg. The commander
of the OrinOcO asserts that he Signaled
that he was going to starbOard of the
North German Lloyd vessel, but that
the latter held her course across the
OrinOcO's bows and went to port of the
OrinOco only when it was too late. The

HAPPY ENDING OF
A LONG LEGAL
STRUGGLE
Title to Towner County Land
Vested in j. S. Miller and
id. Bacon.

Hon. J. d. Bacon received word this
morning that the case of John T. Mil
Ter VS.. w. E. Gibbons of Cando, in
which Mr.. Bacon was interested, was
decided yesterday in favor of the
plaintiff. The case involved the title
to a section of the best land in Towner
county. The judgment of the court is
that Gibbons pays Miller $4,000 and
orders him to deed the land back to
Miller
Mr.. Bacon was interested in the
land, indirectly. to the extent of about
$4,000, and consequently feels rather
good over the happy ending of the long
legal struggle. The case has been
before the court for about year and
half and has been stubbornly fought
by that able lawyer, Honest John
Burke of Devils Lake, who was looking
after the plaintiffs interests. Judge
Cowan took the case under advisement
January LIST of this year, and the fact
that it has taken him four months
to render decision, shows that he has
given the legal problems involved
therein careful and conscientious
study.

WILL USE FAIR
GROUNDS
Directors OF Grand Forks State Fair
Association Gives Permission to
Local Baseball Management to Use
State Fair Grounds for This Season.

At recent meeting of the CONNER
cial club the proposition of asking per-
mission of the directors of the Grand
Forks Fair association to use the state
fair grounds for baseball purposes was
discussed. Since then those interest
ed In baseball made formal request
and this morning Messrs. A. l. Hunter,
}. H. Bosard and E. j. Lander, fair
directors. held meeting and formally
discussed the matter. 1t was con-
cluded at length to permit the local
baseball association to use the grounds
as had been requested and leave was
also given to skin diamond. This
apparently settles the athletic park
proposition for the current year.
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany's officials have announced that
special trains will be run between the
city and the fair grounds between the
hours Of ESQ and o'clock on DAYS
OF baseball games. This will settle
the problem of transportation which
has been bothering the baseball man
agement as badly as fish bone in a
chickens craw.
Director Stanchfield informs The
Evening Times that work on the ball
diamond and field will be begun to-
morrow and completed at as early
date as possible. The further informa-
ton is vouchsafed that Manager Nc
Neil has rounded up his players at
Minneapolis and is putting them
through the preliminary PAGES. before
starting out on series with southern
Minnesota teams. The University of

A HEARTLESS
MOTHER
Woman Believed 10 be From Devils
Lake Deserts Few Days Old Girl
Baby. Leaving it on Porch Of f. T.
Jewell of SIS Alpha Avenue.

The Grand Forks .police department
is engaged today in an endeavor to
solve mystery in connection with the
finding last evening on the steps of an
Alpha avenue resident of little girl
baby, which is probably not more than
fortnight of age. That 1t was purely
case of abandonment, the police do
not doubt and to back up their sus-
picions they have several very tangible
clues. The evidence in hand leads to
the belief that the young woman who
arrived in Grand Forks from Devils
Lake on Monday afternoon and who
was seen by the officials about the
Great Northern depot later in the
evening, is the mother of the child
and responsible for its being deserted.
The child was found about 9 o'clock
on the porch of F. JEWELS home at SIS
Alpha avenue by Mrs. J. r.. Parsons,
next door neighbor, who, hearing
strange and smothered cries, came out
side to investigate. She notified the
JeWells OF the find and they in turn
notified the police.
When found the baby was wrapped
up warmly in blanket and shawl Of
double thickness and bottle of milk
was hid in the clothing. The child
is now at the home of Mrs. M. A, GIL
bratth, at 514 Alpha, where it will re-
main until the police either locate the
mother. or find permanent home for
It. Chief Lowe stated this afternoon
that he believed the mother would be
located. All trains are being watched
