MARRIAGES

1t has been said that so per cent
of the marriages in this >uunt,, are
unhappy. We enter q brieC protest
against declaration SO sweeping.
The evidence on which the above
statement is based is the records
of divorce in the various state of the
Union. 1t is true, however, that ac-
counts OF divorce suits appear almost
in every daily newspaper. but the
large number Of examples is no owl
dence that real marriages are un-
happy There is no marriage I'm the
true sense OF the word when a man
and woman enter into the state OF
matrimony feeling If every thing does
not turn out as &c should they will
lind a remedy in the divorce court.
This is not marriage. I'm any real
sense. ana the statistics OF divorce
should have no bearing whatoyo,
ON the question OF happy or unhappy
marriages. The ease with which n
divorce can be secured and the
Puickncss with which new ties can
be formed by divorces is not only
demoralizing. but degrading TO So
cioty. LEGISLATORS have. contrary To-
divorce law made It possible for the
marriage contract TO be entered into
one day and annullcd the next and
for the most trivial causes. thus maxi
ing marriage n convenient method
of committing crimc under tho forms
of law Thousands OF matrimonial
adventures are now being made that
would never be planned Bat for the
aemoralizing character OF our mar
riage laws and tho supiness or
christian ministers The divorce
mills i'm the various states demon
strato not that marriage IS an un-
happy lot for mon and women. but
mat the law has made It possible for
lust TO make inroads into n domain
from which both religion and pure
social regulations would be cxclud-

INTIMATE SLIGHT
TO DUKE D'ABRUZZ|
GEN. GRANT FIRED IL INSTEAD
OF IS GUNS FOR ITALIAN
NOBLEMAN.

New York, June 1.-The army
and navy are just now in the throes
OF a yeXatious dispute. The navy has
had the last say The army never
gets anything right, anyway" The
dispute is over the rank of the Duke
d'Abruzzi, the visiting Italian noble
man and scion of royalty, who is now
visiting New York, and who is be-
ing wined and dined by the army. the
navy, his countrymen and the bon
ton of this great city.
Every one seems to have taken
1t for granted that royal parsonage
could never be anything in either the
army or the navy of a grade less than
that of admiral or general. All the
newspapers have been calling the
duke an admiral Gen. Fred d.
Grant, commanding the Department
OF the East, yesterday ordered a
salute Of seventeen guns fired in
honor of the duke, to whom a recep-
ton was given on Governors Island
In the afternoon.
But why the seventeen guns? If
the duke had been invited to at
tend the reception as a royalty. a
Ealute of eigHtPen or twenty-one
guns, for that matter, should have
been fred. Seventeen guns are for
general in the army, and the in
formation was received from the
italian consulate that the duke has
nothing whatever to do with the
army.
The Duke of the Abruzzi. Com
mander Robert r. Peary, U. s. N.
and Col. David l.. Brainard u. S. A..
three men who have on seperate oc-
casions reached the farthest north. "
met for the first time Tuesday night
and sat at the same table at the
Hotel Astor on the occasion OF a
dinner given for the duke by the
American Alpine Club. Members of
the Appalachian Mountain Club also
were present the qualifications OF
both clubs being tho same, that the
members must have climbed to a
height Of 1000 feet above the tim
ber line.
