Almost Impossible to Secure Them for

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Difficulty Is
being experienced by the quarter

Even at high prices good cavalry
horses are scarce and nearly impossible
to procure The scarcity extends
throughout the country, even In the
stock raising regions Of the West and
Northwest On account of the scarcity
OF horses, animals, suitable for the
cavalry now are worth about Sl4V

DIVORCE MILLS VERY BUSY
Startling Condition Shown By
Census
important Work for Next Session OF
Congress-Corporati Anxious
Know the President's plans
shaw to stay at Head Of the
Treasury Department.

The forthcoming report OF the Census
Bereau on marriage and divorce will not
reflect and credit on the people Of the
United states, says the Washington Cor
rcspondence of the Boston Transcript.
Government officials connected with the
work OF gathering the statistics will be
surprised II tho report does not shock
the country. While the statistics are far
from complete the work Of gathering them
has gone far enough to convince the bur
eau that the complete showing will reveal
startling condition of affairs. In some
cities the agents Of the bureau are ind
ing that for certain periods the courts
have been divorcing men and women
as rapidly as the preachers united them
in marriage. No Information Is available
at this time as to what localities will
make the most distressing showing. but
it Is evident that nearly all no Northern
cities will show that their divorce mills
have been working overtime. According
to agents OF the bureau the South will
present O. much more favorable record
than the North. In most sections of the
South the marriage vow is still held sa c.
red. Even in the Southern cities the
agents are finding divorce proceeding are
seldom reSorted to.
The prevailing impression Is that after
the bureaus report Is given to the pub
lie there will be popular demand for
remedial legislation. II Is hoped to have
the statistics in such form that they may
be of use to State legislatures which meet
next January. The Congress can hardly
deal with the subject In the absence of
a constitutional amendment, but 1t is as
sumed that President Roosevelt will not
hesitate to call the attention of the sew
eral States to the information the Fed
eral Government has gathered and sug-
gest that legislatures act. The organza-
ton formed at the meeting of the Ma
tional Divorce Congress two years ago
has been inactive for some time because
it wanted the governments statistics be-
fore It took any additional steps. As
soon as it receives the statistics from the
census bureau it will renew the effort to
secure the enactment Of a uniform,
divorce law in oil the States. Govern
ment officials who have some idea of the
showing the statistics will make say
they will be surprised IL general cam
paign for stricter laws governing di-
vorce is not set on foot throughout the
country after the bureaus facts are
published.
It may be that the completed statistics
will not be available by the FIRST of the
year when most of the State legislatures
meet and il they are not the campaign
for reform legislation viii nave to go
over two years

mentioned in connection with the seat
made vacant by the retirement of JUS
Ice Brown, but no one here has any inti-
nation so far as to what the President
Intends to do. Some of Attorney General
Moody's friends still believe he will be
selected by the President to fill the va
cancy, but there does not seem to be
the slightest foundation for such talk.
Justice Harlan has not indicated whe-
ther he proposes to retire from tho court
this year I was assumed by most per-
sons when the Justices son. james 8.
Harlan. of Chicago, was made a member
Of tho Interstate commerce commission
that the Judge would retire, but here was
no agreement to that effect associated
with the appointment OF the son, and so
the elder Harlan Is free to continue TO
sit on the supreme bench II he chooses
to do it.

Secretary Shaw has revised his plans a

fight for the nomination for the presden-
cy. but he has decided that bird IN

was to have left the cabinet last Feb

but when the time approached the Presi-
dent asked him to stay another year. The
man for the place was not in sight and
besides 1t is not an easy task TO break ir

At the Grand

"O'Hooligan's Troubles" We're shared
by the audience at the Grand last night
and they were indeed harder for the
audience to bear than they were for
O'Hooligan, for he was receiving
money for his woes and the audience
was not.
The froth OF which the farce is COM
posed is lightly bound together with
a selection of specialties of doubtful
value. The cut-up who has the part
of O'Hooligan bounces in upon the
scene on his head with pleasing regu-
larity and for the audience this fea
ture in some measure offset the rest
of the exhibition he makes.
Jokes, outlawed long ago by the
statute of limitations, are again made
to creak their rusty joints and to caper
in senile slee. The witty breaks made
by the village humorist at the post
office while waiting for the daily train
to arrive are exploited by the company
in general Reverence is due these
relics of a time when our arboreal
ancestors hung fromi trees by their
tails and one should be shocked. not
amused, by their use in modern times
One of the specialties was really good
and it loomed up from the rest of the
exhibitions of mediocrity like n good
thing running last at Ascot. The con-
ventional policeman of the comic stage
and Il cleverly impersonated newsboy
danced with the clogs in a most skillfu
manner aud that one act took with the
house.
A thrilling shocking hair-raising
melodrama is TO be at the Grand next
week and posesibly the woes of
O'Hooligan may be forgotten in the
crash of firearms.

orpheum Road Show

One of the big events of the amuse-
ment season opens tonight when the
Orpheum road show begins its en-
gagement at the Orpheum. This is the
only time in the entire year when the
Orpheum management will admit that
the vaudeville show at that theater
Is better at any one time than at any
other time. Ordinarily the Orpheum
does not advertise any weeks bill as
the bill of the season. or "the best
vaudeville show of the year." because
it aims at an even. consistent policy Of
having as good a show as possible each
week.
But when the road show comes around
everything is set aside and the Or
pheum management stakes it's reputa-
ton as a purveyor of amusement on
this one show. IT is to vaudeville what
an "all star" company Is to the legitl-
mate, and every act is supposed to be
qualified for a headline position in the
advertising.
one of the most interesting features
of the road show this year Will be Jules
and Ella Garrison, the noted travesty
stars. I'm their latest faree. "An Ancient
Roman" The Colonial sextet In a
musical act. Merian's dogs In their pam
tomime, "a Faithless Woman;" Edgar
Bixley, comedan the -Four Fords In
dancing and singing, Winona Winter
a clever young entertainer. and Camp
hell and Johnson, the comedy cyclists,
will complete the bill,
