America has the credit of being the
land Of boundless opportunity, but one
of the early Chicago lawyers discov-
cred, even in this country Of glorious
freedom, a barrier to his career. The
story is vouched for in an old pamphlet
on the Illinois bar
Edward d. Baker was a young man
of some parts and of intense ambition
Walking one day in the woods, a
brother lawyer discovered Baker sit
ting on q fallen tree, weeping bitterly
On being pressed to tell the cause of
his grief, he replied:
Il have been reading the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and find a
provision in it that none but native
born citizens can become President.
am Of English birth, and so l am not
eligible"
Notwithstanding this disability Baker
had a brilliant military and political
career, and served his adopted coun-
try well. He was d member of the
Illinois Legislature. and was elected to
ColISISSS IiOLl lndL cIdlS DOlh DtIOlt
and after the Mexican War, in which
he served Later he removed to Ore
gon, and was sent to the United States
Senate from that new State.
He left the Senate to enter the army
at the time of the Civil War; He fell
at Balls Bluff. pierced by nine bullets,
because as he said before he died, "a
United States Senator must not re-
treat"

Greatest of Civil War Engineers
Dying in New York Infirmary.
One of the greatest engineers that the
Civil War produced is dying in a New
York infrmary. This is Brig. Gen. Ed
ward w. Serrell. aged so, native of New
York City, known through the Army of
the Potomac as old Shovels.'' He was
chief engineer of the Department of the
South, u. S. A.: chief of staff under Ben
Butler close friend of Gen. Mcclellan,
Lincoln and Seward and the originator
of gigantic constructive enterprises.
Serrell designed the Hoosac tunnel. on
the line between Albany and Boston He
has completed plans for tuTualing a ships
canal across the IsthmuS of Darien, in
competition With the government water
way at Panama. He planned the electric
ha cbOr defense scheme used during the
Spanish-American war whereby the ex-
act position of the enemy's warShips could
be located.
During the Civil War he invented a
torpedo catcher composed of net weight
ed By 10-inch shells filled with sand and
buoyed by empty whisky casks. At the
attack on Charleston the device. stretch
ed across Lighthouse Inlet. saved the
federal feet by catching sixteen Confed-
crate torpedoes in one night. Perhaps the
most remarkable feat of his career. how
ever, was Gen. Serrell's planting of the
terrible Swamp Angel battery in bot
tomless guaking bog when all other enei-
neers said the project was hopeless. The
credit of this\a achievement belongs to Ser
rell. Had not this powerful seven-inch
PARROT cannon with ifS nIevan attaod
ant Black Island guns, been mounted in
the swamps the siege of Charleston would
probably have been a failure

schoo1book story "works,

One of the old schoolbook stories of
another generation told about the ruse
of a porter who caught a rat and fast
ened a bell to its neck. When it was
turned loose again and ran through the
building all other rats left in fright
at the strange member of their species
that was trying to associate with them
The janitor of a bank in Cleveland
followed the idea in this old story, and
it works out just as the schoolboOks
say it did. Traps set every night were
filled with the rodents. and vet there
seemed to be no end to their ravages.
One morning the janitor chlOroformed

securely to its neck. TO this loop were

fore an electric fan and then allowed
to go again. His bells have since been
heard tinkling behind the walls. but
he is lonesome wandercr through
what was once a populous rat city. All
the rats have left this building, and he

MANY pIvoRcEs ILLEGAL.
Sweeping Decision Handed Down by
FetIer1y SuprAEne (,urt

sweeping Decision Handed Down by
Federal Supreme Court.
1t is doubtful if more nlementous
decision in the interest OF American 50
ciety has been delivered by the United
States Supreme Court in recent years
than when on Monday. by q bench di-
ylded FIVE To four. it held that divorces
obtained in States which do not have
jurisdiction over both parties TO a mar
rage are not enforceable outside the
State granting them. The decision is
based on the clause OF the Constitution
providing that each State shall give
full faith and credit TO the DEGREES of
another State.
The effect of the decision therefore is
that divorces like those obtained in
South Dakota by the acquisition of a
temporary residence for that purpose
are valid in the State in which the
couple resided only so long as their le-
gality is not attacked
1t follows, therefore. that a divorce,
in order to be beyond attack must be
obtained in the ST. re of which both par
ties are residents.
The effect of the decision will be to
end the promiscuous granting of de-
crees and undoubtedly is Il long step
towards minimizing an evil which it
had been believed could only be correct
ed by a uniform divorce law enacted by
the Federal Congress.
The general belief is that divorces
will become less frequent as. when the
purp0rt of the decision becomes known
generally, the movement in favor of
national divorce laws will gain such
force as to compel the passage of the
constitutional amendment needed to eff
feet such legislation.
The Importance of the decision was
realized fully by the court itself. The
judges who diSsented were inclined to
look upon the opinion of the cour:
either as a backward step or as re-
versal by the court of its former Opin-
ion. 1t is estimated that at least 10000
children are affected by the opinion.
Before the decision of the Supreme
COuTl II WIS the SeIeitilN received
opinion that wherever parties are dom
iciled they will be allowed to avail
themselves of the law of this domicile,
including the right to bring suit for
divorce. The courts of New York have
been the chief exception to this rule
and have refused TO acknowledge the
validity of divorces granted to citizens
over whom their jurisdiction lies by the
courts of other States.
1t was estimated by Chicago lawyers
that 500 divorces in Cook County have
been made Illegal by the decision of
the United States Supreme Court, hold
ing such DEGREES null except where both
parties to the suit lived in the same
jurisdiction. 1t also was pointed out
that the way had been paved for all
manner of complication, Il few years
hence over property rights and inheri-
lance.

Waste of Postage.

The lawyers were discussing the

member of the New Orleans bar who
had been gathered to his fathers, and

Times-DemOcrat, recalled the time
when he studied in the old mans office
We had copying clerk whose ineffi-
cheney continually worked the judge up
to the point of explosion. One day Il
wire basket fell off the top of his desk
and scratched his cheek. Not having
any court-plaster, he slapped on three
postage stamps and went on with his
work. A little later he had some pa
pers to take to the United States court
and. forgetting all about the stamps, he
put on his hat and went out. AS he
entered the Office, the judge raised his
head and fixed him with an aStonished
stare. The clerk stopped and looked
frightened and finally said: Anything

1t Is Conducted by Several European
Nations ON Their own Hook.
Since the sultan of Morocco, he of
the euI honions name, provides neither
postofficeS nor postage stamps nor post
men. certain foreign powers having
dealings with Morocco decided not long
since to establish their own rural and
international service. Thus. along the
Little Socco," the boulevard of Tan
gier. may be read the following signs ::
British PostOffice." ''Poste Franchise
and "Correo Espanol." Now another
sign has been put up. 1t bears at the
top an emblazoned black Prussian
eagle. and reads, "Deutsche Reichs-
post"
Verify the flag follows the stamp
writes NJ. Mennevee in the Echo de la
Timbrologie, and he draws attention to
the curious fact that this latest conner
has created a special staff for dealing
with the postal service in Morocco.
while France has seen fit to leave its
service in the hands of its consular Off
Gals. The amount of business trans
acted at the German postoffice in the
Little Socco'' is said to be umprece-
denied in Tangier. For ten years the
French postoffice disposed of 1,125, 500
letters, While the German postoffice
although its career has been brief. has
speeded to their destiDation no less
than 72I, 800 letters. In the light OF
his patriotism if not in that of the
above figures. NJ. Nennevee is astonish-
ed that the French authorities should
have allowed another nation, with GER
tainly comparatively small local inter
ests of every kind to have gained such
a strong foothold in Morocco.
