the effect on the finances of American

Mr.. Edgar and Mr.. Clark conclude
the present review as follows:
Whatever the subjective relation
of municipalities to their reform,
their objective relation, as we have
seen, is far from what it once was re-
garding the commodities and services
to be municipalized. They have been
obliged by the logic of events to cut
away from much that seemed prec-
ious to themselves and to many who
trained with them. Their opponents,
taking cognizance of the projects
abandoned, hoped that now munich

the great contrast between light and
darkness, but the average citizen
is not ambitious enough to desire
too much of a good thing and wishes
only enough to insure sufficient pub
LEFTY of attack as to make it on the
part of the assailant an extra hazard.
Some desire one thing, some an
other, but il you are to consult the
best interests of this city, you will
agree that that measure which pre-
vents crime is certainly paramount
to all others, and there is nothing
superior to light in discouraging
crime, excepting one thing, and that
is more light Think it over.

a large increase in the number of prose-
cutions and eventually in substantial
reduction in the violations.

PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of the De
partment Of the Interior.

Marriage, Dyorce--Indiana, Idaho--Under
the decisions of the courts of Indiana, where
this soldier contracted both his first and his
last marriages, he must be presumed to
have been divorced, prior TO such marriage,
from his first marriage to- this claimant
who also remarked during his lifetime be
lieying. as did his second wife, that he
had been divorced from said first marriage,
and Il good cause for such divorce APP
Bv Statute of Idaho, where this soldier
died and the right to pension accrued,
All marriages contracted without this
state which would be valid by the laws of
the country in which the same were con
tracted. are valid in this state
Marriage, Slaves, Alabama-Claimant and
David Porter were married in 1860, in the
state of Alabama, during slavery, with all
the rites and ceremonies of slaves. She
lived with David until the fall of 1856,
when he. a fugitive from justice, left his
fall of 1868, and in December, 1868, claim
ant married the soldier herein by cere-
mony.
Held: The ordinance of the constitu tional
convention of Alabama OF September %,
1865, fastened legal marital status on
the claimant and David Porter and as She
therefore had a living and undvorced hus,
band when she married the soldier, she is
not the latter's widow.
Jurisdiction of Secretary of the Interior
and Commissioner of Pensions to Make
Rules and egulatiOns-Regulations made
by the department. in the administration of
the pension laws must keep within the
scope of the statutes under which they are
framed.
There is no statute which authorizes or
permits the commissioner of pensions or
this department to make any rule or regula-
ton relative to the payment Of a fee or
the acceptance thereof by an attorney.
agent or other person. under the act of
February 6, 1907.
The act of July f. 1884 having been held
TO be general legislation and applying to
all acts of Congress under which pensions
are granted, except when specifically abro-
gated as to particular acts. it is beyond the
power or province Of an administrative Off
Ger to allow fee or even countenancc the
payment of a fee or compensation under
the act OF February 6, 1907.
Marriage, Divorce--in Minnesota sec
ond marriage while q former subsists I'M

Vorce or other legal proceeding.
Until an authoritative decision otherwise
by the courts Of North Dakota, it will be
held, constituting the statutes of that state,
chat q common-law marriage is not valid
in that state.
In Wisconsin g valid marriage is not pre-
sumable from the mere continuance, after
removal of the impeachment Of 4 subsistfrg

ton where such cohabitation was Illicit at

LOVE OF THE JEwSHARP.
Some Distinguished Performers Upon thu
Instrumental Antiquity.

Instrument-Its Antiquity.
The jewsharp has been a familiar
instrument under that name in thB
island for some 400 years, and is i'll
self of much greater antiquity. In al
Scottish witch trial in 1891 it was af.
frmed, says the London Globe, that al
girl named Duncan played upon a
small trumpe called a jewstrump" be
fore the unholy fraternity of witches on
the occasion of their invading church,
whereupon his Scottish majesty, befORI
whom and his council the trial took
place called upon the girl to play before
him a dance upon her ''trumpe," which
she accordingly did.
Several writer's of voyages and travebI
of the Elizabethan era mention jews
harps, with hatchets, knives, beads, anll
the like, as suitable wares to be takelI
for purposes of barter with the Amer
can Indians and other unclvllIzed pecH
pies. Sir Walter Raleigh mentions that
a iewsharp would purchase hens, which
seems a fairly profitable rate OF ezs
change.
