CHICAGO TO NEW YORK.
Electric Line to Make Distance In
Ten Hours.

Chicago.-Ten hours between Chi
cago ana New York on trains operated
by electricity, and making an average
speed Of seventy-fiye miles an hour, Is
the plan of incorporators of the Chi
cago & New York Electric Air Line
railroad.
The scheme appears to be far In the
future, however. II Is asserted that
some Of the right of way has been Sc
cured" but the projectors decline to
say how much. They hope TO have the
road In operation In Ave years.
As the name implies. the proposed
road will sacrifice everything for speed
and distance. According TO the state
trent OF Jonathan ID. Price, president OF
the Cooperative Construction Com
pany, which was organized TO build the
road. the line will be 7i2 miles long, or
200 miles shorter than any steam road
now connecting the two cities. Part OF
the line already has been surveyed.
The first section of the road TO be built,
according to the promoters, Will be
cut of Chicago. and the work on this,
one OF :he incorporators said last night
will be gin soon.
In choosing the route no attention js
paid To whether the line runs through
large cities or not. As now surveyed
the road will be eight miles south OF
South Bend. Indiana. and at that point
Il is proposed to build station and
run spur into tho city. The same plan
win be followed where the road passes
near any other city. These spur lines
will be connected with the street rail
way systcms In each town, and II Is
proposed to run freight trains at night.
Details ms to the kind of cars TO be
used have not been thoroughly worked

Women Wage Earners.

Two young Boston women, students
at the University OF Chicago have set
before themselves the difficult task of
investigating the problems presented
by the gainful employment of women
in the United States. So far as the
results Of their inquiry have been
made available in the pages Of the
Journal of Political Economy, they
are confiLed to an analysis OF the facts

ports; but some Of these results are

Feminine competition with men is
a subject on which II has been the
fashion TO dogmatize freely, but the
actual material on which to base ex.

needed data is labor well applied. II

them has been at the expense of and
in the face of the opposition of the
men. Nevertheless. 1t has not been
demonstrated that women's work has
essentially altered in amount or In

that even the changes in the charac'
ter OF that work have not been so
great as Is commonly believed.

DECISION OF UNITED STATES su-
PREME COURT.
ITS EFFECTS FAR REACHING
Both Parties to Divorce Suit Must Be
Residents of the State-Sets Aside
South Dakota DEGREES - Makes
Thousands of Children Illegitimate.

Washington. - CONSERVATION is ex-
pected to seize scores of prominent
men and women who have obtained di'
vorces of the South Dakota type as a
result Of the most sweeping and i'm
portant decision ever handed down by
the United States Supreme Court. 1t
makes marriage entered into subse-
Quent to such separation illegal.
1t is estimated that at least 10000
children are made illegitimate by the
opinion. These are the offspring OF
marriages based on divorces granted
where but one of the parties resided in
the state issuing the decree Of separa-
ton.
AS Justice Holmes says in dissent
ing opinion, 1t will illegitimati2e many
children and set aside many existing
conditions. In its scope and import.
ance too much weight cannot be at
tached to the decision. The decision
is, brie fly, thus: No state can dissolve
a marriage unless both parties to the
divorce suit are residents of the state,
and any marriage subsequent to di-
vorce granted upon an application of
this kind is void.
In its ramifications and widespread
interest it is the most important decis'
ion ever rendered by the United States
Supreme Court upon this subject.
The case Is that of John w. Had
dock against Harriet Haddock, di
vorce proceeding instituted In the
courts of New York. The decision is
in favor of the woman. The Haddocks
were married in 1868 and the husband
claimed to have been an unwilling par
ticipant to the ceremony. He says in
his answer to the woman's complaint
that he left her Immediately after the
marriage rites were performed and
during all the time that has interviewed
ha seen her only three times.
In 1881 he secured divorce in the
state of Connecticut, where he then re-
sided, and in 1882 was married TO an
other woman. The New York Supreme
Court held the second marriage cere.
mony to be Illegal, decreed the first
wife to be still the legal wife and di'
rected Haddock to pay her an annuity
of $3.50. That finding was sustained
by yesterdays decision, which held
that Mrs. Haddock was without the
jurisdiction of the Connecticut court.
Justice White, in deciding the case,
laid down the general principle that a
state in which only one party TO di'
vorce proceeding resides has no right
TO dissolve a marriage tie which all
other state must respect. Justices
Harlan. Brewer and Brown united in
n dissenting opinion. which was deliv'
cred by Justice Brown. They took the
position that the Connecticut divorce
proceeding was regular and is entitled
to due credence in other states.
Justice Brown declared in his opin'
ion that the court had taken n back
ward step in this decision.

Wonderful Types Into Which They

Life in America. II has resulted In the
actual creation Of bantam types which
are individual in character-that
to to say, they do not represent
any larger type. These are called
variety bantams. The ideals in
these cases are purely arbitrary,
and are simply modelled accord
ing to ones ideas of beauty Each type
is law unto itself. The peculiar
characteristics of the different indi
viduals, or even nations, may thus be
carried into their fancy poultry.
Perhaps no more striking illustra-
tion of this idea could be cited than
the Japanese bantams. What we have
come 10 understand as Japanese art
clear-cut In Its color combinations
we see carried out in remarkably char
acteristlc style In these birds. They
are strikingly distinct from any other
group. One of the most noticeable
characteristics, giving an immediate
feeling OF quaintness. is the extreme
shortness of the legs. A iirst.class
specimen, indeed. should not show any
limb whatever when walking, n delu-
sion which is greatly helped by the
profusion of feather with which tho
bird Is endowed. The tail is very
largely developed. the feathers stand.
Ing erect as high as the head or
higher and often touching the back OF
the neck. The wings are very large

helping materially TO convey the idea
of lcgless bird.

J. H. Painter, Owner and Pub.
HoLYoKE. COLORADO.
Much Needed Law.

After an agitation that finally won
to It's support all but the owners and
breeders of coach horses and those
that slavishly follow fashion the New
York leglsastire has passed by a very
large majority a bill to prohibit the
docking of horses tails and the i'm
portation into the stale of horses thus
mutilated. The New York Evening
Mail says: There is no question Of
the merit and need of such law.
The docking of horses tail is
senseless abasement of Gods noblest
four-footed creature. 1t is a repulsive
rs well as a cruel outrage upon an
animal which repays brutality with
gentleness and good service. fire.
quent argument against an anti-dock-
ing bill has been the assumption that
1t would only serve TO penalize breed
ers in this state, since purchasers
would buy their horses outside the
state and bring them in. The bill
passed by the assembly the other day
1orDlds the importation OF dockei
horses. So far as the constitutional
ty of such a provision goes, it need
only be said that If the state may
prohibit the importation of harmless
oleomargarine and of lawfully killed
game birds, 1t must certainly possess
the power to shut out MANNED beasts.
Another argument against tie law
has been that spirited horse may be.
come impossible to control II he is
able to throw his tail over the reins.
In answer to this claim it is only
necessary to say that spirited horses
should only be driven by competent
drivers. and that a good driver does
not allow the reins to get out of his
control"
