Divorce In America.

Society protects itself from epidem-
ics OF smallpox and cholera; it should
adopt some safeguard against mar
riages that shall burden it with gen.
Grafton after generation of physical
weaklings, moral degenerates and
criminals. Experts tell us that one
half of the insane now confined in
asylums have hereditary tendencies to
insanity. We cannot tolerate the
Spartan law of exposing weakly chill
dren, but, says Judge E. r. Stevens in
the Outlook, we ought to protect our
selves by preventing improper mar
riages and by putting an end to such
improper marriages as become a
menace to society. The success of the
Jews as a race is largely due to their
regulation of marriage. Some of the
higher class in Brazil, by selfimposed
rule, require the proposed spouse to
present the certificate of physician
that he is not afflicted with certain
diseases. Recently women's congress
at Paris voted to require such certifi-
Gates as a protection to their daugh-
ters. In America we need more of
the English idea that marriage is a
life settlement, in which parents and
guardians should play a larger part.
If this idea prevailed, We should have
fewer homes in which such scenes are
enacted as those that have been re-
hearsed under oath upon the witness
stand

PLOT TO KILL W|TT[.
HATkHED AMONG PATRIOTS
DlvULGED.
BLACK HUNDRED DREW LEADER on
Enticed Him To u Wood and Cut Hii
Throat-Dark Intrigue in Rus
sia Comes To Light.

st. Petersburg, July 3.-From revolu
tionary sources there has been obtain
ed and published full details of a sen
sational plot TO compass the murder
of Count Witte, the former Russian
| premier who represented his country
| at the peace negotiations at Ports
mouth in 1905. This assassination was
| planned by the Moscow branch of the
| Union Of True Russian People, the or.
ganization to which the emperor sent
q communication on June II conveying
| his blessing TO the ultra reactiOn2ry
party and his hopes for the success OF
| it's purposes. The execution of the plot
was intrusted to the leader of the Mos
| COW branch, a man named KaZantSCff
who came from st. Petersburg the lat
ter part of May and secured employ
meIt in a factory as common laborer
He befriended several of his fellow
workers, and after announcing himself
as an anarchist, he enlisted four men
to assist him in carrying out his com
mission. 1t was planned to throw q
bomb a. Count Whites carriage from
the window of a cheap boarding house
on Kamenny Island while the count
was on his way to attend meeting OF
the council of the empire.
The plot, however, was betrayed by
the revolutionist bureau, which gave
Count Witte warning. The four work.
ingmen continued to pretend loyalty to
KaZantseff in order not to arouse his
suspicion. The day for the assassina-
tion was fixed, and that morning
Kazantseff led his assistants to the
woods in the vicinity of st. Petersburg
in order to get the bombs from a
secret hiding place.
At this point the four men turned
on Kazantseff and killed him, carrying
out the sentence of death passed
on him.
The revolutionists kept the facts in
their possession secret in order to aid
the police in identifying the murderers
of the young man who was found in a
wood in suburbs of this city June IL
with his throat cut and who is sup
posed to have been executed by fellow
terrorists.
Through the aid of certain telephone
numbers this crime has been traced to
some well-known leaders Of the Black
Hundreds organization in Moscow.
The procurator of Moscow searched
the lodgings Of Kazantseff and found
considerable compromising material.
Tho uridOU Of Za1antcpff I'm IN tha
present time had been ignorant of the
fate of her husband. 1t is hoped that
the information obtained will give
clew to the murder of DR.. Jollos, editor
OF a newspaper OF. Moscow, who was
shot and killed last March by an I'M
iHown man, and throw light on other
murderous plots.
Count Witte is the most hated mem.
Der Of the ultra-reactiOnary party.

HealthfuIness of Fruit.

If people ate more fruit they would
need less medicine and have better
health There is an old saying that
fruit is golden in the morning and
leaden at night. AS matter of fact,
it may be gold at both times, but then
it should be eaten on an empty stom-
appetite is satisfied and digestion is
already sufficiently taxed. Fruit taken
in the morning before the fast of the
night has been broken is very refresh
ing, and it serves as a stimulus to the
digestive organs, says New York
Weekly. A ripe apple or an orange
may be taken at this time with good
effect. Fruit, to be really valuable as
an article of diet, should be ripe sound
and in every way of good quality, and,
if possible, it should be eaten raw.
Instead of eating plate of ham Or
eggs and bacon for breakfast, most
people would do far better if they took
some grapes, pears or apples-fresh
fruit as long as it is to be had, and
after that they can fall back on
stewed prunes, figs, etc. If only fruit
of some sort formed an important
item in their breakfast, women would
generally feel brighter and stronger,
and would have far better compilations
than is the rule at present.

COLLAPSE OF TWO STRUCTURES
IN WHOLESALE DISTRICT OF IN
DIANAPoLIs, IND,
Followed BY Flames, and Loss is Esti
mated at $221, ,ooo-Deafening Ex.
plosion Before the Crash.

Indianapolis, Ind, July S.-ThG
South Meridian wholesale district suf
fered another costly disaster, when the
building occupied by the Brunswick
Balke-Collender Co., collapsed, carry
ing with 1t part of the adjoining
structure occupied by the Daniel Stew
art Drug Co. Fire followed and ragged
for several hours before the depart
ment could gain control.
The loss to the Stewart Co. was es.
timated by John N. Carey, it's presi.
dent, at 100000 Albert F. RIGHT, as.
sistant manager of the Brunswick.
Balke-CCllender Co., estimated its loss
at $4,000. Martha A. Stewart, owner
of the building Occupied by the Stewart
Co., will lose $4,000. The Henry G.
Mails estate, owning the other building,
will lose $4,000. The William B. Bur-
ford Printing Co., estimates its loss at
$1,000.
The disaster occurred when there
were few people down town. It's origin
is mysterious and no one seems to be
able to give connected story of what
took place. Police Chief Metzgar hap
pened to be in the neighborhood. He
says he heard q tremendous explosion
that seemed to shake the whole dis
trict. He rushed to the scene to find
the Observation-Disclosures building
a mass of ruins, from which a dense
cloud of dust was arising.
A part of the Stewart Building col
lapsed soon afterward. a fire alarm
was turned in, but when the depart
ment arrived there was no sign of a
blaze. Within five minutes, however,
flames seemed to shoot up from many
parts of the ruins. 1t was not long be-
fore they had become q raging furnace
that threatened many buildings in the
wholesale district for three Or more
hours. The department worked on the
ruins until after dark before the fire
was entirely extinguished.
The Balls building occupied by the
Brunswick-Ba Co. was
three stories high and located near
Meridian and Maryland streets. 1t was
nearly so years old. One theory as to
the cause of the disaster was that the
building was overloaded and that it
gave away under the long strain. AS
sistant Manager RIGHT said that his
company carried over $4,000 worth of
stock and that it was practically de-
stroyed. The Stewart building was
built a quarter of a century ago and
was Cne of the landmarks of the whole
sale district. 1t is probable that the
remainder of the Stewart building will
have to be destroyed, as Building In
spector Winterroad is not sure that it
can be used again. 1t was not until
later in the day that the department
was sure that it could save any por-
tion of the Stewart or other ad5oin.
ing buildings.

A Temperance State.

Mississippi has rs counties, all but
nine of which are under prohibition
law. These nine counties lie entirely
on the western Mississippi river Dor.
der and on it's narrow southern sea-
board. A larger proportion of it's area
is under prohibition than of any other
state in the union except those that
rejoice in total extinction of the sa-
loon. 1t is expected that two. more
counties will come ever to the pro-
hibition side, and men are already
predicting that the day is in sight on
which the Mississippi saloon shall be
driven out.

The Old Testament Idea.

The Old Testament idea was much
more what may be called the common
sense idea, that strength is strength,
that cunning is cunning, that worldly
success. is worldly success, and that
Jehovah uses these things for his own
ultimate purpose, just as he used ma
tural forces or physical elements,
says G. X. Chesterton in Putnam S.
He uses the strength of hero as he
nses that of a mammoth-without any
particular respect for the mammoth.
cannot comprehend how it is that so
many supplemented skeptics have
read such stories as the fraud of Jacob
and supposed that the man who wrote
it twhoever he was) did not know
that Jacob was sneak Just as well as
we do. The primeval human sense of
honor does not change so much as
that. But these simple-minded skep-
tics are, like the majority of modern
skeptics, Christians.

FOR NINETEEN HOURS
Youth Suffered Torture In Silence
Caused by Wound in Thigh.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 6.-Two boxes
of dynamite caps exploded in the trous
ers pocket of Charles Thomas, 12, and
tore a gaping wound in his thigh, from
which the boy, it is believd, must die.
Dr. Vogel injected 1900 units of anti
toxin into the boys leg at the South
Side dispensary in heroic effort to
prevent death from tatanus, symptoms
of which he found about the terrible
wound.
A remarkable feature of the case is
that he boy never mentioned his plight
to his mother who knew nothing Of
the accident until II o'clock Friday
monring. Then, unable to endure long
er the tortures which he had withstood
for 10 hours the boy tainted. His
mother made hasty examination and,
finding the wound in the thigh, gather
ed him in her arms and ran from
her home, 4404 Oregon avenue, to the
dispensary.

MADE A NEW FASHION.
Good Joke Played In Old Days en-
Would-Be Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
q good story Of a trick played by .
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
Of Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, of the proud humor which our
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much hne
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor'B
to be made. John brakes, shoe
maker, coming to this tailor's and SEQ
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth OF the
same price and pattern and make 1t
of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and perceiVing the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-samsr
fashion that yours is made of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. Perceiving the same to be
full of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, "fOr
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have l made yours" by mX
latchet!" quoth John brakes, 81 wilA

ALCOHOL AND BRAIN POWER.
One Cannot Do Best Work Under Mar
cotic Influence.

The students of the Total Abstin-
ence union in Sweden recently made
special inquiry from well known art
lists and literary men for their views
concerning the influence of alcohol for
the inspiration of ideas. The answers
were decisive and to the point. Au.
guste Rodin, the great sculptor, re-
piled: Those who depend on the use
of alcohol to give them inspirations
or suggestions are doomed to see
themselves and their work soon for
gotten" Bjornstjerne Bjornson re-
marked: When l am engaged in lit
erary work | never use alcoholic liq-
uors, they would only hinder me. The
ideas or fancies produced by alcoholic
inspiration are not healthy or proba-
Bile, and are useless for my works"
Gustav Trenssen says: Even Thin
bleful of spirits weakens all my best
faculties" The Swedish painter,
George Van Rosen, concludes by say
ing: Very far from believing that the
use of alcohol helps to produce artis-
tic ideas or conceptions, am of the
contrary opinion, and believe they will
only be hysterical and monstrous, and
in most cases they will lead to a weak
ening and finally to a break up of all
inspiring efforts"
