DIVORCES In various countries.

A great variety OF divorce laws pre.
vail In different countries. The an.
clent Jews had n discretionary power
OF diyorcing their wives; and in Hin.
dnstan man and wife may become
divorced through an incident which
an American might take as matter
of daily domestic life.
A curious custom regarding divorce
precails in Cochin. China, where n
couple may become divorced by mere.
~ breanlng a pair of chop sticks be.
lore company which Is assembled
to witness the service.
Divorces are scarcely even known
TO occur In Greece, while Thibet 1t is
almost impossible to obtain divorce,
and remarriarge is positively forbid
den.
Two kind of divorce are allowed in
Circassia. BY the first the divorced
people are allowed to remarry at once,
and by the second remarriage is not
allawed within year.
1t Is said that among certain tribes
OF American Indians divorce may be
accomplished by breaking the pieces
OF sticks given tojthe witnesses at the
marriage ceremony.
An ancient custom among the Moors
was that If wife did not become the
mother of boy she could be divorced
with the consent of the tribe, ana
marry again at once.
IL the wife of Tnrkoman asks her
husbands permission to go out, and
ne says Go" without addi1g. Come
back again." they are considered di.
vorced.
In Siberia. II man is dissatisfied
with the most trifIing acts of his
wife. he tears veil from her face,
and that act constitutes divorce.
In Slam the first wife may be di.
yorced, but not sold as her successors
may be. She has the right of claiming
the first child. The others belong to
the husband.

we hear more complaints OF weari-
ness than at any other time during
the year. There are two ways of
explaining this. or rather there are
two reasons operating Jointly to bring
about this state of affairs. One IS
that people really are tired, after the
strain of the winter, and the other is
that one hears SO much about the
spring lazy feeling that he wonders,
at first, whether he hasn't got 1t, too,

DRAG GOULD SKELETONS
OUT OF FAMILY cLOSE1
Divorce suit of Mrs. Howard Gould
Develops Division Among Mem
,.SscSs bers of Family.

NEW YORK, June 1.-Before the
scandal of Mrs. Howard Gould's suit
for a separation from her husband
has been completely aired in the
courts, 1t is probable that every skele-
ton in the Gould family closet will
be dragged into the light, making n
parade, 1t is said. of all the. secrets
of the Gould household. which will
furnish some sensational disclosures.
I The division of other members of
the Gould family over Howard and
his wife, 1t is said, Will result in
i bringing to light facts which other
wise might have been kept back.
Howard Gould, it Is asserted. will
not have the sympathy, and support
of al his family. Some of his rela-
tives. blood and by marriage, are ex-
pected to be witnesses against him.
Strongest of all Kathryne Glenn
mons Gould's friends among the Gould
family is Mrs. George Gould. It. was
asserted today by friend of Kath.
ryne Gould that, II needed. Mrs.
George Gould Will certainly appear
as witness for her sister-in;law.
Size knows as much about the inner
history OF Howard Gould's family af-
fairs as does anyone, and IL she takes

will bristle with sensations.
George < Gould Is understood to
have volunteered to testify against
Noward's wife. But IL his own wife
+. IS ready to follow him on the stand
to- tell a different story. 1t Is antici
spated that George Gould will change
his mind about testifying. Edwin
,Gould's family has gone to Europe
and this act is taken as an Indication
that he does not wish to be drawn in
70 the family row.
One report today was that Madame
Anna Gould, divorced wife OF Count
Boni Oastellane. may come as wit
ness, as she is understood to have
information to help her brother. Y

MR.. BRYAN's POSITION.

Mr.. Bryan, in statement recently is
sued, has made his views on the i'm
portant railroad question so clear that
none can misunderstood them. He says
that government ownership of railroads
is not an INN ediate issue and there is
no desire on the part of Democrats to
make it an issue in the campaign Of
1908, the prevailing opinion being that
government regulation of the railroads
should be given fair test under the
most favorable circumstances. Mr..
Bryan's views reflect those of the great
out the country.
Roosevelt is in favor of government
regulation of the railroads, his party is
not, while the Democratic party is in
favor of it. To imply that such regu-
lation would have fairer test under
Democratic government than it would
under Republican government it is,
therefore, quite natural the president,
no matter how insistent he may be for
railroad regulation, cannot get the sup
port of his party, and without it he can
not hope to accomplish the desired re-
suit. On the other hand, Mr.. Bryan,
the national leader and prospective can
didate of the Democratic party for pres
ident in 1908, and the rank and file Of
the party are in accord in the matter.
In view of these facts no one can reason
ably doubt that the voice of the people
who want the gross evils which are
being committed by the railroads cor
rected will be raised for the success Of
the Democratic ticket in 1908.
