The gift was more of . surprise to Miss Slough than to any one else on the grounds. But 1t was determined that The Advertiser should give her this present because she brought in more new orders than any other contestant.

DIVORCES IN MAINE.

Judge Savage, in the Supreme court
in Portland, in a hearing on an uncon-
tested divorce libel, intimated that it
would be more difficult to get divorces
hereafter, especially where the parties
had been married but short time.
The case under consideration at the
time was one in which the wife asked
for divorce on the grounds of ex-
IRENE cruelty and failure to provide.
The parties had been married two
years and the wife testified that her
husband had used profane and abusive
language to her and that he at one time
held razor over her and threatened to
kill her. Judge Savage said:
"The short time these people have
been married is an important element
in the consideration of this case. l am
not disposed to grant a divorce so soon
after marriage. The impression is
growing that Maine is lax in granting
divorces and that it is comparatively
easy to get divorces here on very slight
grounds. 1t is also the impression that
more divorces are granted in Maine per
capita than in other States and there
seems to be good reasons for this i'm
preston. While in each individual
case the conditions seem to warrant a
divorce, still the public generally does
not know all the facts, and divorces
granted when the parties have been
married but short time have a very
bad effect. The public is interested.
1t is interested in making the marriage
relations stable. The bar as whole,
is not helping the court much in mini

ing the fact that April 18th is the
date fixed by law on which the sardine
packers of Maine are allowed to open
their factories for the canning of do
nestle sardines few fish have been
taken and, with the exception of two
factories at PASSPORT and one at Lubec,
the packers along the coast of Maine
have not opened their canning plants
nor are they expected to open them for
several weeks to come.
The pack of 1907 will depend much
upon the supply of fish on the Maine
coast during the summer months. 1t
is believed by the packers, however,
for several well founded reasons, that
the price of domestic sardines must be
materially advanced over that of 1906
On account of the extremely hard win
ter the unusual amount of ice has been
instrumental in the destruction of a
large amount of weir property, many
hundreds of fish traps along the coast
having been carried out to sea. This,
together with the advance in cans and
other packing material and the Organi-
cation of the Weirman's union on both
sides of the border. makes it evident
that whether there is a large pack of
sardines in 1907 or not the price must
necessarily advance.
The price now being paid for the raw
material is So per hogshead, and if the
catch continues small the price would
advance to $40, thus starting in with
an increase of from 81 to Sc over the
prices of 1906.

This is the procuring of information
concerning the conditions, wages, etc.,
of the army of school teachers employed
in the State, and the next annual report
of the department will contain chap

pie. 1t will be specially interesting as
there has been much discussion of late
in Lewiston and Auburn and other
localities concerning the salaries of the
tea cheers, it being claimed that many of
them are receiving very meagre CON-

teachers of all grades, so that he will
