Women and Divorce.

The Society for Political Study
has been holding another OF its
pow vows, and the women who
know the least about marriage
have been having the most 10
say on the subject of divorce.
The one point upon which
these professional female sayi0rs
of society seemed to agree was
the utter depravity of the mar
ried man.
Mrs. SaIlie Morris Cory deemed
it an outrage that women should
have to go to Dakota for divorces,
but she closed her remarks with
the dispiriting assurance that
"many women die and never
know of the rival flats which
their husbands maintain around
the corner"
This is sad indeed. It almost
makes death unpleasant. Il
would be far sweeter 10 live,
know and get divorce.
Mrs. Cory may not be able TO
furnish proof TO every wife that
her husband is unfaithful, bat
she is sparing no effort to make
all suspect it.
According to her philosophy
it is one of the most sacred
rights of every wife to suspect
her hu sband Of unfaithfulness
and not to die until she is con-
vinced of it.
OF all the women who spoke on
divorce not one had anything 20
say concerning the sanctity Of
the home and the wife's duties
in it.
These female reformers would
reform the husbands, forgetting
that wives bave better OppOrlu-
nifty to reform themselves.
They forget that the wife who
is always running about to CAB
tests need feel no surprise II her
husband sets up another fat
around the corner where some
one welcomes him.
They forget that the wife whose
first business is to make the home
all that it ought TO be Is apt 10
live in peace and die in the sweet
assurance that her husband IS
faithful. l.-Atlanta Journal.

EXPLANATION MADE OF
GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATION
A Washington Special says:

A Washington Special says:
Commenting on the dispatches
from San Francisco expressing
the surprise of the citizens CON-
mittee that only $500, 600 appro-
priated by Congress is still avail
able tor relief work, Acting Sec
retary Oliver of the war depart
ment pointed out that it was new
er contemplated that the appro-
priation should be spent By the
citizens of San Francisco. The
money, according to the resolu-
ton of congress, to be expended
by the war department, was to
reimburse that department for
the rations, tents, blankets, etc,
belonging 10 the army, which
were rushed to San Francisc3,
and also TO purchase other relief
The appropriation, General Oil
yer explained, was allotted
among the various supply bu-
reaus OF the army, certain
amounts going TO the cOmmissa-
ry, the quartermaster's bureau,
and the signal corps, the money
allotted to the latter being for the
purpose of restoring telephone
and telegraphic communication.

| MANY MILLIONS
IN THE VAULTS
Over s30,000,00O Available As Soon is
Vaults Are Cool Enough TO Open.
FOriy-four Banks to Rebuild.
A San Francisco special says:

| A San Francisco special says:
All of San Francisco's forty
four banks, thirty-two CONNER
cial and twelve savings, will be
relocated within the area of the
burned district. Inspection has
revealed the fact that the vaults
in every instance remains intact,
but with probably two or three
exceptions the fine bank build
ings were utterly destroyed.
According to the statements
filed by the banks with the bank
commission January 1st last, the
value of the building aggregated
S6, 055, ,032. Add to this total the
valuation of premises occupied
by the ten national banks S927,-
295 and the aggregate is S6, $685.
327. Two thirds of this valua-
ton represents the land value Of
the banking sites, and, therefore,
is not lost, so the net loss Of the
banks is about 81, $50, 900, sum
which in no way impairs their
financial standing. The money
on hand in the thirty-two COM
mercial banks at the time was
SIC, SOL ,451, while the saving
banks have coin in hand to the
amount of S3,998, ,804. Add to
this the $40, ,030, 100 in specie in
the vaulte of the ten national
banks, and there is an aggregate
of S38, ST., ,023 in coin immediate
ly available.
The amount Of money due the /
three-classes of banks from other
banks and bankers was S37 $751;
900, of which, however, only
SIS, ,000,0 ,005 is due from outside
banks can be figured on, the bal
ance due from other San Fran
cisco banks. This brings the
total money within its reach up
TO more than S48, 100000. In the
inc of convertible securities
,hese banks held stocks and
ponds valued at S91, 191, 139. One
bird of this total represents
United States Bonds. This one
hird, S3o,0Co,00o, brings the
grand total of money within
each of San Francisco banks 20
'78, 100000. and it is safe to say
hat sufficient additional securi-
les are 50 readily convertible
hat the total could be made
400, ,000,0 900 in ten days time.

COLE PREDICTS
AN ADVANCE
Commissioner BelisTes That the Insurance
Companies Have Made Up Their Minds
To Order rs Per Cent Increase.
A special from Jackson says:

/ A SpecIal from jackson says:
Insurance Commissioner w. @.
Cole, who has been keeping in
close touch with the situation
since the San Francisco disaster,
predicts that the ultimate result
will be an advance of about
twenty five per cent in the fire
Insurance rates at the congested
centers of population in America.
He does not believe, however,
that there will be a flat rate ad-
vance of twenty-five per cent, as
was ordered in 1892.
Insurance agents in Mississip-
pi field are agreed in the sconelu-
sion that the jump in rates will
effect this state, and be made ap-
plicable to nearly all the large
towns, and probably the smaller
ones.
In view of the fact that fire
rates in Mississippi are now quite
high, this will be anything but
welcome news to property own
ers. However, they can perhaps
find some consolation in the fact
that the remainder of the country
will have to bear the same bur-
den.

CARRIED DAGGER'S POINT
IN EYE FOR MONTHS
A Jackson special says:

A Jackson special says:
To Corrie Kinds a young man
of Wilkinson county, belongs the
distinction of carrying around
the fragment of a dagger blade
two and ono half inches in length
for period of nine months, and
without knowledge of the fact
until few days ago.
About nine months since the
young man was stabbed in the
eye by negro boy, who made
his escape Immediately after
wards and has not since, been
heard from. A few days after
wards the patient was sent to the
hospital at Natchez where the in
jured eyeball was removed by
surgeons. and he returned home
a few weeks later. From time to
time, however, he complained of
great pain in the empty eye-scck-
ct, and a few days since DR..
Brumfield, a local surgeon, made
an examination and found that a
piece of the dagger blade about
two and one half inches in
length had been broken off and
remained in the eye. 1t was sue
cessfuIly removed.

SULZER BOOM FRAMING.
SulliUans for Him - McCarTen
Fauors Either Him or Gaynor.

The Sulzer boom for Governor Is coming
strong It begins TO look as though the "strik-
ing resemblance to Henry Clay" will be some
thing of factor at the Buffalo convention.
The Sullivans. with five or six loyal districts
are for him. Senator McCarren is for either him
or Justice Gaynor. with probability that Gay
nor viii decline 10 be a candidate. Scattered
around New York County are districts which are
intensely anti-Herast. While they from choice
are not exactly for Sulzer. still they are more
likely. IT is thought. TO be for him than for any
one else.
Charles r Murphy is the arbIter Of the situa-
ton. He is stubborn. slow witted and hard 10
move. The pressure is coming from all sides to
turn down Hearst. II he joins with the Sulli-
vans and others and .smashes Hearst he will
lose Senators and Assemblymen and judges the
same as he last aldermen last year. and the same
as McCarren lost his county ticket in Kings last
year
The situation in Tammany Hall is somewhat
the same If the Tammany delegates 10 the
state convention were all on the roof of the
wigwam with a fire raging on the lower floors,
cutting OF the usual avenues Of escape. Every
one is conscious Of the fire. Hearst is below with
a life net-his own life net-spread out. beckon-
ing 10 the men on the roof TO jump. Sullivan is
believing in the ear OF the Tammany boss 10 get
down by the Sulzer fire escape. Murphy himself
does not know what TO do. He suspects the
Hearst fire net is rotten affair and that he will
go through II TO the pavement. The smoke is
suffocating the side OF the building where
Suffers fire escape-a riekety AFFAIRS placed.
II Murphy jumps into the Hearst net. all the
little confused braves Will likewise jump. and
the bulky form Of Big Tim will go plunging into
IL, too. Something is going to happen 10 the
men on the roof before Wednesday night OF
next week.
Murphy's supremacy I'm the Tammany organi-
cation as leader is once more firmly re-estab-
lished. The burning question is no longer. VIII
he be beaten for the leadership? but rather. Who
for Hearst and who against him?
There many district leaders in Tammany
Hall who are enthusiastically for Murphy for
leader. but they are bitterly opposed to the NOM
nation OF Hearst at Buffalo. tabulation OF the
leaders for and against Hearst follows:
