BISHOP HARE FIGHTS DIVORCE.
Blaine Case Further Aroused His Dis
pleasure.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., January 2S.-The
speedy excursion to South Dakota for q
divorce made by Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr.,
and her marriage soon afterward have
further angere6 Bishop w. H. Hare of this
Episcopal diocese, and it will be held up to
the state legislature this winter as an
example.
Bishop Hare is directing his efforts to
secure strong lobby for divorce reform
by letter, and will personally labor for
radical changes in the law. He wants a law
forbidding divorce except for extreme
cause; preventing persons emigrating to
ano.her state to find new cause for d.
vorce; making it unlawful for other than
an open court trial; preventing the decree
granted, for, he says, delay may bring
new evidence and a better heart, or at any
rate expose the lover and cool his Illicit
passion
last Blaine divorce and the affidavit that
permanent residence was to be South Da
kota, although the train was waiting to
carry her east again. Bishop Hare will
point to the second marriage.
1t was Bishop Hare who lobbied the old
three months residence law out Of exist
ence, aroused as he was at that time by
the Baroness de Steuers' divorce case, and
her marriage an hour after the decree was
signed. to Count Elliott Zborowski, who
had posed as her cousin and adviser here,
ana mad taken In the bishop to his last
ing embarrassment and the almost rupture
in the congregation of the Episcopal Cathe-
dral here.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, through the So
licitation of leading Episcopalians, had con-
tributed $4,000 to the building of the cathe-
dral and it was named st. Augustus
Cathedral for her. Baroness de Steuers
being niece Of Mrs. John Jacob Astor. at
once evinced great interest in the work of
the Episcopal congregation She and Count
Zborowski were regular attendants and
liberal checks were given weekly to the
delight Of the deep-in-debt organization.
But the enthusiastic baroness wanted to
do still more She would have made a
81 600 memorial window for the edifice. She
consulted Bishop Hare, who gave his as
sent. The window was ordered and had
arrived, waiting in the basement of the
cathedral for a convenient time to install
and dedicate it, when with stunning sud-
denness Baroness de Steuers was granted
divorce and within the hour became the
wife of Count ZbOrowski.
Bishop Hare refused to accept the me-
mortal window and ordered it's removal
from the church. Members of the faith
tried to dissuade him, but to no avail. and
for a time split in the congregation was
imminent.

INSURANCE COUNT DRAGs.
The Expensive and Ineffective Sys-
tenn May Be Changed.

NEW YORK, January 2S.-Because OF
slowness in counting the votes cast in the
December elections of the New York Life
and the Mutual Life, under the systems
devised by the inspectors Of elections and
the officials Of the two companies, both
systems may be dropped and new and more
expeditions ones substituted. OF the 4JO, OOC
votes cast by New York Life policy-holders
only 500 have been canvassed thus far,
although forty days have elapsed since the
polls were closed, December IS.
The canvass has cost the policy-holders
of the New York Life approximately $4OO
a day for thirty-four business days since
December 10. or about $4,000.
The Mutual Life inspectors have can
vassed $1,000 Of the $50. 600 ballots, or about
one-seventh of the total, at total cost of
about So, 500
ing as complicated and cumbersome have
become SO general among policy-holders
and the organizations representing them
that State Insurance Supt. Kelsey will
come to New York next week to investi-
gate, and, IL possible, bring about better
results. If he should find it impossible to
do so under the systems being used, it is
likely that he. as the state official in
rect that the complicated machinery of
counting be abandoned and simpler and
more expeditions systems put in use.
Representatives of the policy holders crit
icise severely the composition of the board
of inspectors of the New York Life as
made up by Supt. Kelsey. 1t is pointed
out that three of the five inspectors have
relations which possibly might make them
friendly to the interests of the administra-
ton of the company. Chairman Lawshe
of the board once was a partner of Lewis
L. Delaf1eld personal counsel to George
w. Perkins, former vice president Of the
New York Life and now partner of j. Pier
pont Morgan. Inspector Huse, it is said,
is a partner Of former Judge William A.
Keener, who was one of the lawyers for
the Fowler investigating committee of the
New York Life. Inspector Koelble was
private secretary to Supreme Court Justice
Amend, who is a close personal friend of
Supreme Court Justice Edward E. Mccall,
a brother of John A. Mccall, who died soon
after quitting the presidency of the New
York Life. Justice Mccall, before his ele-
walton to the bench, was general solicitor
for the New York Life
State Supt Kelsey has been criticised
for making the appointments, because, it
has been asserted, they might be disad-
vantageous to the policyholders. On the
other hand. the inspectors and their friends
say they are performing their duties with
the utmost fairness to all interests and
are proceeding with the count as rapidly as
possible under the systems in use.

hand, he made no direct denial
Biologists throughout this country ana

his special branch of geology, paleontoogy
and economic geology, but also In the who're
field Of the science. His work on tne st 81
survey. vlth which he has been identlned
as chief since 1896, has been highly cred1t,
able, and scientists attribute in no small
measure to his ceaseless energy and carelul
painstaking the high rank attained by the

NEW YORK, January 2S.-President
James Noroton Of the Northeastern Metal
Dealers Association last night made public
the following letter, which, upon instruc-
lions from the association, he has sent to
Attorney General Bonaparte at Washing
ton:
Referring to our telegram to you re-
specting the combination Of copper inter-
ests In this country, / beg to lay before
you the following facts, which we are pre-
pared to prove:
THAT the copper trust, so called, has Gre
ated an artificial scarcity Of copper by stor-
ing 1t in large quantities at Butte, Mont
Hoboken, N, j.; Perth Amboy, N. Y; Bay
onne, N. j.; Bisbee, Ariz.; Cananea, Mex
Houghton. Mich, and other places known
to our association, and refusing to sell it
except in small quantities.
That there is now stored at Perth Amboy
5000 tons of refined copper, and that all in
tending purchasers are told that the supply
has been exhausted.
That there are LOO tons of copper at
Hoboken. and that seals were placed on
the storehouses there on October IS. last
and have not since been broken.
That there are stored in similar man
ner at Butte, Mont, 1900 tons; at Bisbee
5000 tons and 1000 tons at Cananea and
Houghton. Mich.
That the steamer Hindustan, Capt.
Rallton, on October 20 last sailed for South
Africa with 1000 tons of copper ballast,
with no orders for its delivery in any port
Of South Africa, and that the Hindustan
returned to the port of New York about
December % still carrying the 1000 tons of
copper as ballast, and that Capt. Rallton,
on seeking orders for the delivery of the
copper, received orders the next day to con-
tinue the 900 tons of copper as ballast.
THE Hindustan sailed subsequently for a
South American port, still without orders
for the delivery of the copper. His affidavit
reciting the above facts is inclosed
We submit that the present danger to
the trade is not much the high price of
copper is the fear that the price, being
held at an artificial height, may be lowered
succeed in selling its stored-up product at
the present quotations"

The formula of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription will bear the
most critical examination of medical
experts, for it contains no alcohol,
so injurious to delicate women even
in small quantities when long con-
tinued. Neither does it contain any
narcotics or other harmful, or habit
forming drugs, and no agent enters
into it that is not highly recommend
ed by the most advanced and leading
medical teachers and authorities of
their several schools of practice.
These authorities recommend the in
gradients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for the cure of exactly
the same ailments for which this
world-famed medicine is advised by
its manufacturers.
No other medicine for woman's
ills has any such PROFESSIONAL
Endorsement as DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription has received in the
unqualified recommendation of each
of its several ingredients by scores of
leading medical men of all the
schools of practice. Is such an in
dorsement not worthy Of your con-
sideration? 1t certainly is entitled

Indeed. our modern English has gone
far to becoming a language of HERO
glyphics, or picture writing, like ancient
Egyptian or modern Chinese. We are
taught that our letters came originally
from these Egyptian hieroglyphics. and we
read with admiration Of the wonderful in
vention of the alphabet, the product Of
many centuries. which only required its
fortunate possessors to learn twenty-four
symbols, instead of eight hundred, like the
Egyptians, or many thousands, like the Chi
nese. But the unfortunate English child
has little reason to be grateful to 'Cadmus,
or whoever 1t was that invented letters.
