John Redmond and Fannie West have
had their theory OF the affinity mode Of
life rudely shattered by Judge KIM

wife theoretically so. For ten long
years John watched and waited for the

the lonely vigil, decided that he was
licensed TO marry Fannie West who has
been keeping house for him for five
years.

The Sweet Air Lyceum.-At the meeting
of the Sweet Air Lyceum on Saturday night
last the subject discussed was: That the in
stitution of divorce is inimical to the best In
terests of society and should be discouraged by
all the people; and that in order to curb ex-
listing evils the grounds therefore should be
restricted and divorced persons be not allowed
to remarry"
Messrs. Elmer r. Halle and Edward o. Dom
ovan took the affirmative side and Messrs:
William W. Powell and Elmer w. Price argued
against the resolution.
Mr. Halle cited the divorce laws in other
States and said the same law should be made
in Maryland as in New York, giving only one
ground for divorce. He said more restricted
measures should be taken to keep society on
higher plane.
Mr.. Price contended that marriage was q
contract, like any ordinary contract and when
one person failed to live up to the contract it
should be declared void. Love, he said. was
the supreme contract in marriage, and when
the persons ceased to love they should be sep
arated rather than live together. If woman
married q man of vicious habits and he ill
treated her, be said, she should have some
relief. 1t would be better, he said, If she be
allowed to remarry, as she might meet good
husband who would care for her and her
children.
The Judges were Mrs. Thomas J. Jessop,
Mrs. Claudia P. Hutchins, Messrs. 8. Seymour
Smith, Henry Zinkhan and Henry Green, Jr.
They decided against divorce by vote of to l.

Hicks Weather Forecasts for February,
1oO7.-We publish below from Word and
Works the Hicks weather forecasts for
this month:
day, Sd, to Tuesday, 9th. Prolonged cloudiness
and marked storm conditions will be the order
through all the opening days of February, but
these conditions will eliminate in general storms
of rain, sleet and snow on and touching the 3D.,
4th and 5th. High temperature, with lightning
and thunder, will mark these disturbances over
first, but sudden and severe change to blizzard
GUS storms and Sleet and snow will strike, fol-
lowed between the 4th and the 9TH by severe
cold wave for February. Have your affairs well
in hand for these storms and for the cold wave
"a regular storm period is central on
intensified storm period between the 18th and
the 18th. The 10th, 18th and 18th will probably
bring the elimination OF what we will cal, i, a
rometer, with warm, humid conditions, will be
admonitions of violent storms. especially IN
sections to the TaiEs WILL w.
cipitating ice gorges and dangerous overfiows
and floods during and following this period.
Many sections nOrthward Will sufer from
billiards., sleet storms and blockades at this
time. and general cold wave will reach most
parts of the country from about the 18th to the
18th. The 18th is the central day OF period OF
five to seven days in which many earthquake
shivers will be reported in extremes of the globe.
"A reactionary storm period is central on the
SAA~
elements will react to much warmer, the baro-
meter will show a wave of marked depression,
and decided storms of rain and snow Will pass
in regular order from west to east. WITHIN
twenty-fo four hours of noon on the 10th, look for
sudden revulsion from high temperatures, and
possibly electrical storms, to sweeping and
severe cold wave. sleet and snow. -
"a regular storm period covers the l9tn 70
the ed being central on the 10th. Heavy equi'
noctial storms in the southern coast regions:
with general storminess and heavy rains and
snow northward, may in season be anticipated
at this time. Watch, of course. for change to
much colder between the I'D and 10Th, progress
sively from the northwest to the east and south
"a reactionary storm period is central on the
last day of February. covering the 18th, into
March. The full moon, near its passage of the
celestial equator, falls on the 18th. This will
greatly increase the probability of general and
furious snow storms not far from February the
2Sth. Another seismic period lies within two to
three days before and after sunrise on the 18th
We close these forecasts for February by re.
peating our belief that the month will be filed
with many mingled tropical and boreal storms
making it, upon the whole, the most severe and
disagreeable month of the winter"
