Columbia, February 16.-During

Representative T. B. Fraser, Of Sum
ter, moved that the house go into
committee Of the whole, which was
carried, and Mr.. Rucker was called
3 to the chair. Mr.. Fraser then pres
ented series Of resolutions, express
ing the appreciatiorr of the house for
the fair and impartial manner in
which Speaker Whaley has discharg-
ed the duties Of his Office, expressing
appreciation Of the services of other
officials Of the house, and thanks to
the newspapers and their representa-
tives for their full and fair reports.
. Mr.. Fraser moved the adoption of
the resolution by rising vote,
which was done, and the committee
Of the whole then arose.
Speaker Whaley was summoned
from his room and Mr.. Rucker in-
formed him Of the resolution. In a
, brief speech Mr. Rucker expressed
the sentiment of the house.
Mr.. Whaley was very much affected
by this expression. He said he had
endeavored to discharge the duties
e. Of his office with realization Of his
obligation to all the members of the
house and the people Of the state. If
his administration had been success
full it was due largely to the work of
the clerical officials of the house. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Whaley's brief
remarks the house took a recess I'M
til 8 O'Clock.

setts the defendant may be married
within two years by petitioning the
court and securing it's permission. In
Virginia the court may forbid the
defendant to marry any one but the
plaintiff. In Louisiana second
marriage without divorce is valid if
either party has been absent for ten
years and is not known by the other to
be living. This absence and Silence is
considered sufficient to dissolve the
first marriage. In Mississippi when
a wife secures divorce her husband
is considered dead and she widow.

HALF A MILLION DIVORCES.
That's the Record of the United
States in Twenty Years.

On account Of the growth Of di-
vorce in this country, says the eNw
York Sun, the national government is
collecting statistics from the various
states with view to throwing light
on the subject and encouraging reme-
dial legislation. 1t is estimated that
there have been 100000 divorces in
the United States in the last twenty
years and that 100000 children
have seen their homes broken up. On
ly nine states now publish divorce
statistics These are Maine, New
" Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
>Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, In
diana, and Michigan.
So many excuses for divorce have
been found, that the comic papers
find the subject one that yields much
rich material. A South Dakota woman
recently got a divorce from her hus-
band because he refused to pay for a
pair of corsets she had bought. One
wife secured separation from her
husband because he persisted in stow
ing their neighbors' eat, thus making
her unpopular in the community. An
other womaH who married a carpen-
ter begged to be released from the
union on account Of the fear that if
she ever had children they would i'll
herit tendency to pound and make
noise. Mrs. James Alexander Of
New York State carried off the hon.
ors as a most unique divorce by issu-
ing cards that read: "Mrs. James
Alexander requests the honor of your
presence at the celebration of her di-
vorce from Mr.. James Alexander. :"
However, it remained for Baltimore
man to do the handsome thing by his
dissatisfied wife. When he found
that she was in love with another man
, he helped her secure her release from
Nhimself, settled the house and a fine
! Income on her and crowned his gen.
Eerosity by giving her away at the
wedding.
AS a rule the states have adopted
'$i'$;b -,. ,Aview that it is wiser
tions that are not pleasant, and so
have been reluctant to enact divorce
laws. Those that have been enacted
vary much in what is considered JUS
tification, length of legal residence re-
quired and terms of settlement. They
range all the way from South Caro-
lima, with no divorce law at all, to
Tennessee's willingness to grant d.
! vorce on any one of twelve reasons
after one years residence in the
state. The length of residence ru-
2: quired before a divorce can be OBJ
tained range from six months in
; South Dakota, idaho, Nebraska, Ne
vada and Texas to five years in Mas
sachusettS. The causes range from
very grave crimes down to mere triv-
,fialities. .a" |...

The ocean record held in Germany has
been beaten by the Lusitania. The tur-
blne engines have come up to the ex-
pectation of their constructor. On the
first passage fogs and rebellious stok-
ers, combined with the natural stiffness
OF new machinery prevented the dis
play Of the Lusltania's full powers. On
the second westward passage the en-
gines ran smoothly and all parts Of the
machinery, being now somewhat ac-
quainted worked well together. Only
four days after the coast Of Ireland
disappeared the Nantucket lighthouse
was sighted, and the whole run from
Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook was well
under five days. The practlcability of
the turbine, the oldest form of steam
engine, has been established. The ex-
perts who scoffed at the idea of using
anything but reciprocating engines for
boats larger than torpedo destroyers
and channel steamers must acknowl-
edge themselves In the wrong. Unless
Germany wishes to remain in the back
ground it will be necessary to build still
larger boats with more turbines. The
relation of speed in the new style of
steamers to the consumption of coal
has not been calculated, and German
companies may conclude that the game
Is not worth the candle, but unless
some unexpected development takes
place In the construction Of marine gas
engines or In the wireless transmission
of power the boat which beats the rec
ord of the Lusitania will have to have
turbine engines. America has no
transatlantic steamers to compare for
moment with the giants Of the British
and German merchant navy. However,
the success Of the turbine opens up new
possibilities in the development Of the
coasting trade and the passenger bust
ness on the great lakes. One of the fast
turbine steamers used on the English
channel would make the passage from
Chicago to Milwaukee as quickly as an
express train, and would cut in two the
time between other lake ports. The
Asiatic possessions Of the United States
could be brought several days nearer
If turbine engines were in use on the
transpacific liners. The only question
is, Is time money? The owners of the
Lusitania are to be congratulated on
the success. of their new venture. When
the achievements of Portugal, the an
cient Lusitania, in the early days of
exploration are recalled it seems fitting
thai this steamer, destined to work as
much Of revolution in navigation as
the vessels Of Vasco da Cana and
Prince Henry, should bear the name Of
that country

The old joke of the building which
was Queen Anne in front and Mary
Ann behind embraces Il principle ap-
plicable to mere architecture. Any law
of existence that reaches out In one
direction only argues false front The
individual whose scheme of humanity
does not include all sorts and con-
dltions of mankind lacks a right back
ing up Of character. A little lesson Of
this kind was quietly, perhaps uncon-
sciously, taught one bright day last
spring.
Mrs Brown and her friend sat with
their work on the front piazza. 1t was
one Of the first warm days, and the
sunshine fell gratefully on the newly
awakened sod of the little lawn. Up
the graveled walk came n man wheel
ing barrowload of bright bloom.
"Oh" cried Mrs. Brown, jumping up.
There are the plants Brother Charles
promised for my beds. Tulips, what
gorgeous ones. and hyacinths. and daft
fodls, and those dashing blue elias d!
How lovely! | do hope they won't be
hurt by transplantlng. Put them in
those round beds in front, John and in
the long bed on the south side" and
Mrs. Brown returned to her work and
her friend.
The next day she went out to see
how the work was progressing.
The front beds were full, and the
long strip glowed with brilliant col
ors. John was spading on the grass
plot near the clothes reel.
"What are you digging there for ~
exclaimed Mrs. Brown. ITS a perfect
waste to put them there, where they
won't be SEEN"
Sure" said John, thrustlng in his
spade, ITS In good view Of the kitchen
windows. Bridget can see them fine."
AS Mrs. Brown walked back to the
piazza there was light flush on her
cheeks. born Of new thought

wet apron, dusting chair for her
visitor. Wont you please sit down?
Certainly he amt workin' now, but a

won't take everything that comes along

that he can't turn his hand to If he's

has got to do just the way his union
says. My husban's too independent to

Job he had?' inquired the visitor.
"Three days."
sand how long was he out of work
before he got that job?"
well, 1t must ha' been close on to
three months, ma'am. Not but what
he tried. He'd go out in the mornin'
an sometimes be gone all day lookin'
for work. But it's hard to find, spe-
cially any work at pays livin' wages.
He might have got somethin' at a dol
lar an quarter or dollar an a half
day, but he don't b'lieve In encour-
