Figures on Divorces.

The Census Bureau has nearly COM
pleted arrangements for gathering
statistics of divorces. All of the spe-
clal agents of the bureau who can be
spared will be put to work next week
In all the large cities of the country.
Courts will have adjourned then for
the summer and it will be possible for
the statisticians to get at the divorce
dockets, which they could not do dur
ing sessions of court without great de-
lay and expense.
No effort will be made at this time
to get statistics from rural communi-
ties. The dockets in their courts can be
inspected during court sessions, since
they are not in such demand.
Chicago, popularity believed to be
the greatest divorce mill in the world,
will receive thirty special agents; Nsw
York will have twenty, Philadelphia
fifteen, st. Louis ten, Pittsburg four
agents, South Dakota will be left for
the winter, although its courts In the
aggregate do an enormous business in
divorces.
The examination is to cover the
twenty-year period between 1887 aud
1907. The great task will be the exam
ination of dockets so as to bring the
work down to date. The reporting of
cases completed between the time the
special agents finish and the end of
this year will be done by the court
officials at comparatively small ex-
nenSa

Shunted Prom Place to Place.

In a tent on bleak mountain side
In Ralph county, W. Va, not far
from EIkins, John Rossi, the Syrian
leper, about whom there has been SO
much concern on the part Of the
health authorities of dozens Of cities
during the past three weeks, is exist
ing without care of any kind.
The people in the vicinity are said
to be nearly panic stricken over the
presence of the leper, and the health
authorities of the State of West Vir-
ginia are threatening the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad with all sorts of
dire consequences for bringing the
diseased man into the State.
The case finally has been brought to
the attention of the United States au-
thorities after the afflicted man has
been shunted from place to place in
several states without being able to
find an abiding place where he can
have proper care. Orders were issued
that Rossi be examined by a surgeon
of the Marine Hospital Service and a
Syrian interpreter with a view Of as
certalning his status in this country at
what port, what examination was sub
jected to and various other inquiries
are what the officials want answered
II he should be found to be deport-
able mo time will be lost in sending
him back to his own country.

Inspection Being Made By Compe-
tent Inspector and Reason Demand
ed Why Contracts Should Not Be
Cancelled With Firms Supplying
Inferior Food. =

Washington. Contractors for fur
nishing bread and fresh meats to the
New York aad Norfolk Navy yards
will be required to show cause why
their contracts should not be cam
celed because of bad supplies. Secre-
tary Bonaparte is taking this action
as a result of reports made to him
by a government inspector. The bids
for supplies of this character for sew
eral of the navy yards were accepted
Coy the secretary after the bureau Off
Ger had recommended their rejection
in the belief that the bids were too
low for good food. 1t is understood
that the secretary, instead of cancel
ing contracts with all of the firms
about which complaint has been made
will continue some of them In force
but purchase from higher bidders and
charge the contractors with the diff
ference.
Complaints having come to the Ma
w department that bad meat and
bread were being furnished the men
at the New York and Norfolk Navy
yards, Secretary Bonaparte directed
Paymaster General Henry I. B. Har-
ris, chief of the bureau Of Supplies
and Accounts, to have thorough in
vestigation made by a competent gov
ernment inspector. The report shows
that the contractors have beel fur
Wishing inferior and spoiled food.

Applies To Toys.

State Auditor L. NJ. Henry In dis
cussing the privilege tax of $25 plac-
ed on the sale Of air guns, Flobert RI
fes and such like weapons fixed by
the legislature at its recent session,
stated: "The kind Of guns the legis-
lature was trying to minimize or cur
tail the sale of entirely by imposing
$25 privilege tax are those princi-
pally sold to- small boys for shooting
on the streets, and which endanger
eye, life and limb. They are the kild
usually found in the toy stores. | do
not think the legislature intended to
include the regular 22-oalibre rifle
In that category, and believe that they
can be sold under the merchandise IL
cense, as can shot-guns and rifles Of
other calibre." The above in sub
stance is what Mr.. Henry had written
TO collector who had applied for
specific information on the point, but
may be of interest to others and to
the general public as well.

Seventeen Arrests.

Panama. Seventeen Colombian for
mer revolutionary leaders were arrest
ed charged with conspiring against
high national authorities. The pris-
oners during the revoluption of 1900
distinguished themselves by their dep
relations in the interior OF ths 18th

All of the men arrested had recaatly
arrived in Panama.
Secretary Arias refuses to f$nish
any details of the plot, but it IS ru-
mored that some Of the members OF
the Panama liberal party are impll-
, Gated. The prisoners vii be deported
as pernicious foreigners. All danger
seems to be passed. The conditions
here are normal. The general public
not being aware that the authorities
have captured the plotters. 1t is as
serted that if the conspiracy had been
successful it might have resulted In

the Alcorn district drainage law
which was passed at the last leg
islative session, and the 1st Of Sep

Chancellor Percy Bell of the Seventh

county is located, is absent from thu
state, and Chancellor Lyell is look
ing after all matters coming up in va
cation in that district. This is til,

Mr.. Wilson in Chicago.

Chicago. Secretary James Wilson
arrived here. He refuses to discuss
his presence here at his time, but it
is reported that conference has
been called at which those interested
in closer quarantine regulations and
inspection of cattle at points of ship
ment will be presented. According
to the secretary the president does
not deem the new meat inspection
law water tight, as some laxity has
existed in passing on diseased cattle
by inspecors. 1t is said Secretary
Wilson wishes to get a uniformity of
action. If a more rigid examination
is made before the cattle shipped are
offered for sale, much Of the loss
would not fall on packers. The breed
ers and raisers of the better grades
of cattle are anxious to have the
quarantine regulations more thorough
ly enforced also, and it is said the
proposed meeting has this double pur-
pose up for consideration.

To Do Away With Practice.

Enlisted men in the navy have in
stituted movement to do away with
tattoo marking, which was formerly
so popular with sailors Since the con-
viction of Brooklyn man through
the efforts of officers Of the Humane
society for mutilating the arms of a
young boy by decorating them with
India ink designs, tattoers have shown
unwilingness to embellish the bodies
of men who are not known to be of
age, and as few adults care to have
their bodies decorated, the practice
may soon become a thing Of the past.
The following description Of a de-
serter from the navy shows to what
extremes some men have gone in deco
rations, which can not be removed:
Tatto marks ON chest, shoulders,
arms and back, viz: Eagle, ship, wo-
man, sailor, cards, clasped hands, flag
and flowers. 4"
Tattoo marks are ready means of
Identification Of deserters.

John D. Rockefeller.

London. John D. Rockefeller has
furnished funds for railroad devel-
opment in Tanganyka, Africa. This
led to the recent rise in Tanganyka
shares and Rhodesians generally. In
its financial article the Times says
the development of Tanganyka COM
panies' potential resources have bean
checked by the difficulty of raising
capital for the completion of railroad
communication. Although no official
announcements have been maize, I
is believed that the difficulty has been
overcome. The investment of Amer
lean capital in South Africa, which
already has benefited so much from
American engineering skill, is natu-
rally an event Of some Importance.

Army CanteenS.

The question of re-establishing the
army canteen will be seriously con-
sidered at the G. A. R. veterans as
senbly in Minneapolis. Corporal Tan
ner, national commander, who recent
ay gave out an intSrview, criticising
congress for abolishing the canteen
from soldiers homes, has received a
letter from. one of his comrades that
the question will be brought up in the
shape of a resolution.
Letters having been sent to num-
Der of Grand Army officers, asking
For their views on the subject, the
following reply has been received:
New Orleans, La, July 26, 1906
Yours Of the 23rd inst, received, and
in reply desire to say that at the time
congress legislated out of existence
the army canteen experienced ones
thought it a mistake, and the prac-
tical test has so proven. This is one
of the cases where theory and prae-
Itice are not in harmony. The worthy
people who were instrumental in
abolishing the canteen meant well
and thought they were benefting the
soldiers, but it has resulted in shut
ting off the canteen spigot and open
ing the saloon bunghole, and in the
.change the soldier gets the vilest OF
drinks, and more of them, from IRE
sponsible places. Whether or not this
question will be taken up at the next
national encampment, cannot say
but it certainly would be proper and
Just to declare in favor Of the soldier
by asking congress to repeal the law
and thereby again permit the army
eanteen.
