DIVORCE TALK
Estimated There Have Been
10000 Granted in Past
Twenty Years.
Press to The Evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept There
need be no fear among persons who
have been divorced in this city during
the last twenty years that the examina-
ton of the records for that period now
being conducted at the city hall by
Regent ]. B. Mitchell. of the United
States census bureau, and his assist
ants will uncover the fact that their
freedom from the bonds of matrimony
is not legal and complete or that, If
married again, they are bigamists.
Such complication going on there, but
the methods of granting divorce in
this state would render conditions i'm
possible here.
All the government wants to know
Is the number of divorces. absolute or
limited, duration of marriage, whether
divorce was granted to husband or
wife and on what grounds, whether
the case was contested, whether ali
mony was asked or granted, whether
intemperance was a direct or indirect
cause, and the conditions and occu-
pations Of the principals. Names are
not wanted nor needed, and the slips
on which the answers are sent to
Washington contain nothing but
number to prevent duplication.
So far the work has progressed into
the year 1889, and from estimates
made in the prothonotary's Office it is
fguered that the total number of d.
vorces for the 20 years will foot up to
something between $4,000 and 10000.
The cause for divorce in by far the
greatest number of cases will probably
be desertiOn, but this is in many cases
merely the specified cause. for in di-
vorce desertion covers multitude of
marital sins, and there is always some
earlier and indirect cause which has
led up to it. This Is why the question
as to whether intemperance was the
direct or indirect cause Is to be de-
termtned wherever possible in addition
to the cause alleged in the plaintiffs
prayer. Another thing the investiga-
ton will show is the number of d.
vorce suits were commenced and then
abandoned and the length of time con-
sumed in the obtaining of each di-
vorce.
In Pennsylvania divorce is not SO
easy, either as to the number of
causes or as to the rapidity with which
the knot may be united, though in this
particular the act OF 1905 somewhat
accelerates the speed. Legal causes
for divorce In this state are unfaith-
fulness. desertion, impotency, cruel
and barbarous treatment, bigamy and
insanity. Also the courts will dis
solve an incestuous marriage or one
to a convict, man or woman. whose
term of Imprisonment IS two years vi
more.

Did you ever try to go on a vacation
trip with a party of friends and keep
your destination a secret? If you are
in active business life in Pittsburg
you probably have-and you know
how difficult it is. writes Will R. Nc
Cord in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
There are men in certain lines of
business in the Pittsburg district who
are compelled to get far away from
the telegraph wire If they would en-
JOY their midsummer outing to its
fullest extent-who must literally lose
themselves in the wilderness. or re-
tire to forgotten village, and cut
themselves of from all communication
with any but few friends at home.
otherwise the brief summer rest is
likely to be cut short by an urgent
summons home, Ito take care of an
emergency at the Office"
These are the men who use the wire
for business purposes every day, and
with all their knowledge of ways and
means that may be employed to out
wit 1t they are frequently beaten at the
game. Among these slaves to modern
day business methods, who spend their
outings In terror of sudden tele-
graphic summons, are the railroad
men. To get away from the end of

the department head of the railroad
comapny when he leaves for his brief

AS he looked for the ball, he said:
Once, in Scotland, saw a lost ball

you know, lost ball means a lost hole.
Two professionals were playing
and one of them lost ball in the tall
grass. He searched for it a long
time. Nearly half an hour passed.
His opponent kept urging him to ai-
NIT that the ball was lost, and to fore
go hole, but this the other refused
to do.
"And finally with a triumphant
laugh, he pounced down, fumbled in
the weeds, and rose with ball in his
hand.
Here's my ball! I've found my
ball!' he shouted.

fessional, for I've got it here in my

A party of half a dozen, of which
Agent Norris was one, planned a

the evening, gave orders for some re-
pairs to their outfit. and prepared to
exchange their canoeing toys for white
ducks and fannels. Morris was the
first man to reach the inn. 1t lacked

London, Sept 1.-The DAILY Chron-
icle,, forecasting the governments

islative union will not be touched and
tnat Irish representation at Westmins-

parliament will not be changed. The
chief feature will be the establishment
OF an Irish council at Dublin. directly

same as the Irish representation in
the house of commons, with the addi-
ton of forty-eight councillors direct

having rateable value exceeding 500
peers and clergymen being eligible.
This Is almost the same as the legis-
lative council and legislative assembly
of Gladston's bill; only they form one
body and not two. The nationalist
party as now organized would not
easily gain large majority in the
council. The chief secretary would,
under the new scheme, be ex-officio
chairman of the Irish council. and, as
representing the lord lieutenant,
would consult with the leader of the
majority in the council regarding the
appointment of the chief heads of de-
partments, the head of the finance de-

ues would hold their posts dependent

But how did the railroad find it's

upstream the tourist had called to
