MEANING is
CHAOS
~. S. SUPREME COURT DECISION
IN DIVORCE CASE.
Makes Illegal lnnumerable Marriages
Throughout Country Entangling
inheritance Rights.

CHICAGO, April lit is estimated
by Chicago lawyers that the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States holding illegal all divorces eX-
ecept where both parties to the suit re-
sided within the same jurisdiction, will
make Illegal 500 divorces that have
been granted in this city alone, and
pave the way for all manner of COM
plications in the next generation over
inheritance and the rights to property.
Several prominent attorneys de-
rlared that the decision simply means
chaos in regard to the title to person
al property, as in cases where a man
who was, in the sight of the decisions,
Illegally divorced and remarked, his
property must, of necessity revert to
his legal heirs, and cannot be held by
any children of any woman he may
have married subsequent to his di-
vorce.
ST. LOUIS, April 1.-THE decision
of the United States Supreme Court
regarding divorces will, it is estimated,
render invalid more than 1000 di-
vorces granted in st. Louis in the last
ten years. In a large proportion of
the cases filed in the Circuit Court
the defendant was not a resident of
the State of Missouri
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April IL
The United States Supreme Court de-
,cision in the Haddock divorce case
created a sensation here today among
members of the divorce colony. At
torneys interested in the South Da-
kota divorce industry say they are not
prepared at this time to say what
effect the decision will have on the
industry. However, it is believed
that, regardless of the decision, the
present members of the colony will
not abandon their intention to secure
divorces.

ENGLISH WANT BETTER
OBSERVANCE OF SABBATH

[London Gable Dispatch to Chicago
Inter ocean,
A national conference, representing
every part of England and every sec
ton of the religious life and thought
of the country, is to be convened to
consider the question of Sunday OBJ
servance.
The proposal comes from the advis-
DRY committee appointed by the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, and it has re-
ceived the approval of the primate,
who expressed his entire accord with
the suggestion for a united effort to
educate public opinion upon the value
and privilege Of the Christian Sunday
The date of the conference has been
fixed for May 9, and the Archbishop
will preside.
The report of the advisory commit
tee states that complete unanimity as
to the necessity for proclaiming and
safeguarding the true ideals of the
Christian Sunday has been found to
exist among the representatives of
every section of national Christianity.
The report adds:
In February, 1905, popular Lon
don daily printed under conspicuous
headlines the Views of Bishops and
Minister, which, in reply to the edi-
tors inquiry, had been furnished by
leading divines of every school on the
subject of Sunday amusements. 1t
was distinctly suggested that, in re-
Spouse to the popular need of guild
ance and definite instruction from the
Christian church on the whole sub
ject of Sunday observance, the Bish-
ops themselves were believed to be
some such united ac-
ton al is now, in fact, under consider
alton"

TRYING TO STOP
ARslNTHE DRINKING.
Especial from Geneva to Pail Ma. ii
Gazette.)

! Especial from Geneva to Pail MAJ
Gazette)
Absinthe drinking is the curse 81
French Switzerland, and crimes by
absinthe drunkards have been SC
alarmingly frequent of late that the
Swiss Press has started a crusade
against the sale of the liquor
In the Cantons of Vaud and Geneva
over 100000 signatures have already
been obtained to a petition urging the
Government to suppress the absinthe
distilleries in the Canton of Neucha-
tel and make the sale of the yellow
monster an unlawful act. During the
past few months a series of diabolical
murders and attempts at murder,
manning of cattle, deliberate incen-
diarism in French Switzerland have
been traced to persons who are CON
firmed absinthe drinkers and who
committed the crimes while under
the influence of the liquor.
Most of the absinthe sold in small
cafes at penny large wine-glassful
is made from chemicals and raw alco-
hol, and this is the stuff drunk by the
poor, for the reason that it is cheaper
than wine and beer. Good absinthe
is of the same price of good whisky,
but very little of this is found in this
country, as the greater part is ex-
ported to France and Belgium.
The Canton of Neuchatel depends
upon its revenue on the make and sale
of absinthe, and from this quarter
there is much opposition to the cru
SADIE. Not only the men, but the
women, and to less extent, girls and
boys, have developed the habit of alb
sinthe drinking, which threatens to
sap the manhood of the Swiss In the
French Cantons There is every
likihood that in a short time the
matter will come up for the consider
alton of the French authorities.

MORMON
PRESIDENCY
WILL PASS, ON DEATH OF JOS
SMITH TO LATTER's SON.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 17.-Jos
seph Smith, President of the Reorgan
lied Church of the Latter Day Saints
yesterday rewarded his followers fol
their fasting and prayer by giving to
the conference of the church in SEES
sion in independence, Mo-, a revela-
tion which appoints his son, Frederick
NJ. Smith, to be his successor in the
event of his death. This was consid,
cred the most important message ever
given to the church, as nothing in the
annals of the recognized church has
been considered so vital as the ques-
tion as to who would succeed to the
Presidency.
For time it looked as though the
revelation would create a schism in
the church, as it was believed by some
that the revelation of April, 1902, con-
Conflicted with the present message
as to Presidents Smith successor, but
after some discussion the revelation
was adopted unanimously. President
Smith, soon afterward entered the
church, followed by his son.

HOW PUEBLO, MEX,

TPeublo, Mex, Special to the Chicago

IPeublo, Mex, Special to the Chicago
Record Herald
The real name of this town is Pue
bla de las Angeles-the City of the
Angels-but the angels have been
dropped. and the Government has ad
ded hyphen and the word Zaragoza
in order to honor hero of the revo
lution of 1862. But it appears on all
the maps as plain Pueblo and every
body calls it by that name, which
means simply town"
In 1882, when good Bishop Garces
was locating a series CT churches and
resting places between the capitol of
Mexico and the coast he had vision
while resting at the neishboring city
of Atlixco. and saw choir of angels
with theodolities and chains and other
surveying instruments in their hands,
laying out town upon a beautiful
plain that lies between four great vol
canoes. Guided by the same power
that made the revelation he found the
spot and said: Here hath the Lord
through His angels revealed to me
the site of a city and to His glory it
shall be built" And what is now the
most beautiful of all the large cities
of Mexico came into being.
1t has a lovely location. To the
westward are the twin volcanoes,
Popocatepetl and Ixaccihuati; to the
north is Malintzi, 13,463 feet in
height; and to the east orizaba, the
second highest mountain in Mexico,
which measures 1886 feet, while to
the southwark lies range of lower
peaks.

ALLIGATOR CARS
DESTROY GAME FISH

New Orleans Times-Democrat1
A subject being much discussed
among the spOrtsmen in New Orleans
and elsewhere in Louisiana is that of
the disappearance of the green trout
| from all of the bayous AMI lagoOns.
The cause of their rapid decrease is
attributed to the fact that alligator
gars are eating them almost as fast
as they can multiply.
Only within the past few weeks has
it been noted, with alarm, the CARS are
so numerous in all of the lakes, bay
GUS and lagoons that it is almost i'm
possible for any other fish, especia ly
the green trout, to live, and still more
impossible for them to multiply. In
fact, as stated by professional fisher
men and others that in some places
gars are so numerous as to almost
impede the passage of pirogues and
fsAin~ boats. They lie in wait for
tie trout in the long grass along the
shores, and devour the spawn of the
trout, destroying countless numbers
of them at one mouthful. Fishermen,
using the gill net, say that to every
one of other kinds of fish caught there
are at least ten gars.
This subject and some way to de-
stroy the gar was discussed at length
at a meeting recently held at Chef
Menteur, at which all the professional
hunters and fishermen of that immed-
late neighborhood were present, and
several plans were declared to be
feasible. Mr.. Frank Miller, President
though an excellent idea would be
that of making hatcheries in or near
the water inhabited by the green trout
He said that he thought the trout,
after it acquires the length of eight
inches, is able to move swiftly
through the water, and thus enabled
to protect itself to great extent from
the CARS. At the same time that this
is being done, the destruction of the
gars could be carried on. His plan
for eradicating the gar was that a
bounty be paid the fishermen and for
the Board of Commissioners for the |
protection of game in Louisiana to en-
ploy men as warden for the sole pur-
pose of catching gars with the gill
net, paying them a salary out of hun |
ter's license funds. These plans met |
with much favor.

The SALOON
And ITS EVIL s
MRS. CURTIS DELIVERS A FLU
EMIT AND STRONG APPEAL
FOR TEMPERANCE.
WILL LECTURE AGAIN TONIGHT

The audience at the First Methodist
Church Tuesday night to hear Mrs
Curtis, of Sherman, Texas, lecture on
the licensed saloon and it's attendant
evils, was not large in numbers, but
made up in attention and deep inter
est what it lacked numerically.
Mrs. Curtis was introduced by Rev.
]. w. Cherry, who said the speaker
was dealing with live and vital ques-
ton, a question of special importance
to the people of Columbia, who have
suffered and are suffering from the
evil effects of the licensed saloon.
Mrs. Curtis gave a brief history of
that noble band of women, the w. G.
T. u, Of which she is an active mem
Der. She said this band of women had
seven times encircled the globe, bear
ing aloft the white ribbon and teach.
ing the message of peace to all ma.
lions. That they had accomplished
great good and she believed the time
is fast approaching when right will
triumph over might and temperance
will win a glorious victory.
Mrs. Curtis told of the pagan sac
rifces by the Jews to Moloch and drew
a vivid picture of the suffering and
sorrow of the Jewish mother as she
gave her children a living sacrifice to
the heather god to be destroyed by
the flames which burned before his
altar. She told of the fact that in one
day 500 helpless children had been
doomed to death to this heather god
Coming down to the twentieth cen
fury, she drew a comparison and show
ed that in these days of civilization |
and enlightenment, we are even worse !
than the heather. Today thousands |
Of American mothers stand weeping |
and helpless while their sons and |
daughters are offered up living sac
rifice to the bloody Moloch of the Ii
censed saloon. Every twenty-four
hours 495 victims are offered up in
America to fill the pockets and salts
Py the greed of this monster of cruel
". The idolatrous Jews killed the
body alone; we kill the bodies and
lamn the souls, and this in order that
100000 saloon keepers may grow rich.
No wonder that mothers are crying
)ut. Some one is to blame; on some
hood ctc hInA1 Of !
thousands of annual victims. She [
laid all classes suffer from this curse. {
She visited the homes of the poor and [
old of the abject poverty caused by {
he liquor traffic She went to the 7
lone of those in moderate circum-
tances and pointed to son dying
rom strong drink. She traversed the
alls of the rich and pointed to the
wife, murdered by drunken husband. Il
n the courts she found the ends of i
lstice defeated by the brewers gold. h
n the halls of the State legislatures t
he found wise laws defeated and bad a

ress of the nation she again found 8
