THE AFFINITY SEEKERS.

The Rev. James T. Marshall Of the
Second Presbyterian church, Oak Park,
ILL.,, has given the man who covets his
neighbours wife a blast that it will take
him a little time to get over. He has
no regard for the fellow who goes
back on the old woman" In order that
he may take up with some new flame.
He would have him hung higher han
Haman. Some of the extremely cut,
ting sentences OF the Clergyman are
appended:
we have been hearing a good deal
lately about aiinities. The papers are
reporting cases of men who suddenly
discover afiinities in the wives of 9th
er men, and put their discoveries into
practice. OF all the base bloodhounls
Of hell that nave slipped their leashes
these are the meanest. Compared
with them. the common murderer
would make a good Christian Endeavoi
society president.
For the wretch who in hunger
steals; for him who in anger strikes
a blow, for him who falls under the
temptation to drink, let us have char,
ity. But for the low leper who deserts
his wife to whom he has sworn eternal
love and seeks to cover up his nasti.
ness with sentimentality, let us keep
nothing but vitriolic walls Of wrath.
Il would hang every one of these
fellows. They are the worst enemies
of decenoy INT order, and should lie
dashed to the utmost limit of the law.
1t is to be hoped that our judges will
realize their privileges.
"A great enemy Of pure life is found
in the increasing tendency to remain
single and to live in clubs or board.
ing houses rather than in homes. Our
stores and offices are being filed with
thousands of bachelors and maidens.
The inordinate expenses of living, the
vexations of the servant problem, keep
persons from marrying. Yet there can
be no happiness like that described
as four feet on a fender Nor can
morals be kept as pure.
The lowering Of our moral sense is
evident from the way in which we Is
sue u divorces. We have the worst
record Of any nation upon earth. In
Switzerland, divorces N issued At
the rate Of forty to 1000 marriages.:
in France, at the rate Of twenty-one to
every 1000; In Great Britain. at the
rate Of n to every 1000. In twenty
years we have in the United States di.
vorced $4,000 couples, an average of
$4,000 couples yearly. In ten years
Chicago has divorced 1888 couples.
I'VE need an effort to limit the num-
Der Of marriage licenses issued. Do
We not begin our reformation al the
wrong end Of the line? Should one
who is sure to transmit diseases, or
one who Ia mentally deficient, or one
who ID sure 70 remain a pauper, or a
habitual drunkard. be allowed to con
tract such q relationship IS marriage
tmpiies3 Christian people should reg.

Women Who Wear Wen.

It Is astonishing how great . change .
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliancs vanish like the bloom from .
peach which ID rudely handled. Tho
mstron is only . dim shadow, . faint echo
Of tho charming maiden. There ars two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak

SUBSCRIBED BY FOUR MEN.
Where Hartman Secured Funds for
Republicans.

New York, April 4.-The inside facts
concerning the 5000, 900 fund which
Mr.. Hartman raised in the campaign
of 1904 at the request of President
Roosevelt have been given by a finan-
cial man Of international standing who
was made familiar with the details at
the time.
He said there were four subscribers
to the fund, each of whom gave $780,
600. They were. he said, e. H. Harri-
man, Hamilton Nick. Twomhly, J..
P%ierpont Morgan and the fourth, 70
the best Of his recollection, was Will
lam K. Vanderbilt. He cas- not abso-
lutely certain about Mr.. Vanderbilt
being a subscriber, but he was positive
about the other three.
The 5000. 900 vas turned over, he
said, to B. B. Odell, Jr., then chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee. Mr.. Bliss, he said, unintention-
ally blundered, as he refused to put
the Depew label on the 5000, 900 when
he paid it over to Mr.. Odell and the
latter received it in ignorance of the
condition relating to Depew.

BRIGANDAGE PREVAILS.
Some Sections of Philippines Are Far
From Peaceful.

Manila, April 4.-The presidents
proclamation fixing July 30 as the date
for the election of a national assem-
bly, finds a somewhat involved political
situation in the islands. ~Pulajanism
still exists in Samar and while the
authorities have no fear that it will
result in an instruction brigandage
in the unsettled areas still prevails.
In Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Pampanga,
Bulacan, Tayabas and Cavite prov
inces the Japanese sentiment is APP
parently used as a pretext to incite
the people. The Progress party is not
considered likely to elect its whole
ticket, as the independent party is
making a strong showing. Advices
from the provinces indicate that the
two party's methods are inconsistent,
both posing as friends or as enemies
Of the Americans, as the situation de-
mands.
The governor of Laguna province
has discovered the existence of a re-
organized Katipunan, or Tatalog anti
government society, similar to that
formed under Spanish rule, now head
ed by Dominator Gomez, a name lik-
ened to that of DR.. Rial, the martyr
to the cause of the Filipinos.

CHARGED WITH REBAriNG.
Trial Of New York Central Begins at
Syracuse, N. Y.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 4.-The case
Of the government against the New
York Central Railroad company, In
which the company is charged with
rebating In violation Of the Sherman
antitrust law, was begun during the
day before Judge George W. Ray in
the United States court.
The charge against the railroad
company is that it favored the Gen.
eral Electric company of Schenectady
In the matter of rates. The main
facts are admitted.
The railroad company states that 1t
returned 20 cents per ton on freight
to the General Electric company, but
II is claimed that the allowance vas
for services at the terminal at Science
tady, where the General Electric com-
pany owns the tracks and engines;
that 1t was in no sense a rebate, which
constitutes illegal payment or dis
elimination.
II is set up by the government that
the record did not show that the pay
ments were made for handling, load
ing Dr. unloading cars, or doing any
specific kind of work, but the return
was for SO many tons of freight han
died. The effect, it is alleged, was to
reduce the freight rate by the amount
paid and that it was for this and no
other purpose.

COMMANDMENT AT AN END.
Nicaraeuan Gunboats Cease Firing on
AmapaIa.

Washington, April president b.
nilla of Honduras is still surrounded
at Amapala, so far as the state de-
partment knows, but the bo~mbardment
of the town by Nicaraguan gunboats
has ceased, according to dispatches
received from Philip R. Brown, secre-
tary to the American legation to
Guatemala and Honduras.
The United States cruiser Chicago
and the gunboat Princeton are both
known to be lying near the island on
which Amarala is situated and the
presence of these two American war
ships is supposed to be largely re-
sponsible for the halt in the lombard
ment.
Mr.. Browns dispatches do not state
whether President Bonilla has been
offered a refuge on the American war
ship, neither do they state whether he
has taken any action in behalf of the
United States government to protect
the fugitive president.

BOUND FOR UNITED STATES
Hundreds of laps Reach Mex
leo and British Columbia.

Washington, April Information
has reached the immigration bureau
of the department Of and
labor that hundreds of Japanese have
arrived in Mexico destined for the
United States. Inspector Braun, who
was sent to Mexico by Commissioner
Sargent to investigate the immigra-
ton of japanese to the United States
through Mexico, notified the depart
ment by telegraph that he had inter
viewed several hundred Japanese,
principally laborers, skilled and UNI
skilled, who are now in Mexico. Many
of them are in straitened circum-
stances. They have no intention of
remaining in Mexico, but desire 10
come to the United States. They ex-
pect to obtain employment On the
railroads of the West and Southwest.
Some of them have already applied
for admission to the United States
and have been denied.
The department also is informed
that many Japanese are reaching Hon
olulu. There they take passage to
San Francisco, bearing passports to
British Columbia. From there they
go to Vancouver. 1t is known they
have no business in Vancouver, but
intend to make their way across the
Northern border to tbs United States.
The general situation is regarded as
serious by the immigration officials,
but it practically is impossible to pre-
ven smuggling across the border of
either Mexico or British Columbia.

COMING CROPS.

w. FL. Smith, auditor for the G..
w. VanDusen Co., has made a trip
over the grain raising portion of the
state, and made the following esti-
mate as to amount of grain in farm
ers hands, the probable increase in
acreage for 1907, and the amount and
value of the 1906 crop.
There is yet to be marketed about
20 per cent. of the wheat and corn
crop of last season and less than II
per cent. of oats, barley and flax. The
acreage to be sown TO wheat will
be about the same as last year,
with a probable increase of oats, flax,
and corr of about ten per cent and the
flax acreage will likely be increased
about 20 per cent. South Dakota's crop
for 1906 was the largest ever raised in
the state; with ample moisture, favor
able spring weather with lake beds,
ravines and small streams full of wat
er, an increased acreage of small grain
is anticipated; in any event the acre
age will be equal to that of last season.
As indicating last years acreage and
