TO take over the interests of the New York
Mutual Life's policyhoIders on the payment OF
the same premium they now are paying, with
out further medical examination. with liberal
privileges and with an immediate participation
in the profits Of the company. This was found

senting s45.OOOOOO, which are subject to imrnedi-
ate full surrender value. With regard to un-
matured policies the North British and Mer-
camille Company announced Il was prepared to

the Council Of the Empire yesterday Dmitri
Shipon astonished the assembly by proposing to
introduce in the address In reply TO the speech

mind was likely to be the source of bitter
conflict with the lower house of parliament.
Several bureaucrats who were inexpressibly
shocked at NJ. Shipofrs audacity said that the
sovereign already had made sufficient conces-
sion.
The correspondent adds:
Former Premier Wltte now rose and deIiv-

THOUSANDS OF
DIVORCES ILLEGAL

WASHINGTON, Monday, April 49,
In an opinion by Justice White, the
Supreme Court of the United States
today decided the case of John w.
Haddock VS.. Harriet Hadaock, a di-
vorce proceeding instituted in the
courts of New York City. in favor of
the woman.
The Haddocks were married in 1858,
and the husband claimed to have been
an unwilling participant in the cere-
mony. 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 intervened has 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 there to
another woman.
The New York Supreme Court held
the Connecticut marriage to be illegal,
decreed the first wife to be still the
legal wife and directed Haddock to
pay her an annuity of $3.50.
That finding was sustained by to-
days decision, which held that Mrs.
Haddock was without the jurisdiction
of the Connecticut court.
Itrct IN,
laid down the general principle that a
state in which only one party to di.
vorce proceeding resides has no right
to dissolve marriage tie which all
other states must respect.
Justices Harlan. Brewer and Brown
united in dissenting opinions, which
were delivered 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 opinion
that the court had taken a backward
step in this direction.
Justice Holmes also dissented from
the decision OF the court, but delivered
an independent opinion, He said thu
result of the decision would be to ille
gitimatize many children, but added
that he would not 80 so far as TO pre-
diet that civilization would come 10 al

not faith at all. There must be

people ask, "Has it cured 9TH

on the waves. The plastering falls, the
walls crack, the chimneys go crashing
down, everything moves. heaves, tosses.
Huge waves seem to rush under the
foundations with the swiftness of a
gale.
VISIBLE WAVES.
The swing now becomes longer and
still more powerful. The walls crack
open. A sudden lurch throws out the
front wall into the street or tears off
or shakes down in rubble the whole
corner of the building. Then comes a
longer swaying motion like a ship at
sea, but more rapid, not alone from side
to side but forward and backward as
well. and both motions combined into
a wriggle which it seems impossible for
anything to Withstand. This is the cul-
mination of the quake. The effect in
the open country is somewhat differ
ent. The first sensation is the sound.
1t is wholly unlike anything we have
ever heard. 1t is strange murmur.
Some liken It to the signing of pine
others to the far-off rumble of the rail-
way train; others to distant thunder.
1t grows louder. The earth begins to
quiver, then to shake rudely, soon the
ground begins to heave.
Then it is actually seen to be tra-
versed by visible waves, somewhat like
waves at sea, but of less height and
moving much more swiftly. The sound
becomes roar. 1t is difficult to stand
and at length 1t becomes impossible ia
do so. The victim filings himself to the
ground to avoid being dashed upon It.
The trees sway. The ground opens in
some places and squeezes out minia-
ture geysers of mud or sand in others
The roar becomes appalling. Through
its din are heard loud, deep, solemn
booms like the voice of the eternal one
