Washington, Feb. 2o.--Pre-
llmlnary estimates made by th,
bureau OF census as result of the
investigation of marriage and
divorce statistics, which began
last summer indicate that the
number of applications for div
oree field throughout the United
States during the twenty-year
period from 1887 to 1906 will
reach the enormous total of l.
100000. Ii is estimated three
tourths of the application have
been granted, so that the stats
tics when compiled will show
that IN the period stated more
Than one million divorces have
been allowed.
On their face the figures in
dlcate a stupendous increase,
,ut when the ratio they bear to
he population is considered it
$ not so great, though still large
to warrant the serious
consideration of the American
|nQple.

BANK DIRECTORS.

The directors of bank are
not estopped from pure hasinp
with their own money shares oil
stock owned by other stockhold
ers at as low price as the own
ers were willing to dispose OF
them. If the price given was
too low it was matter for the
vendors of the stock to com
plain of. The stock purchashed
became then absolute property
of the purchasers which they
had the right to sell to whom
they pleased. IT they sold the
same to another corporation, of
which they were directors, at too
high price, that was a matter
to be complained of by the
stockholders of the purchasing
corporation.

HOLIDAYS AND SUNDAYS.

Not General Election
Less than an election hcId
throughout the state is not a
general state election Calling
within the terms of Act 2 OF
1904, which enacts that all gen
eral election days shall be legal
holidays the same is true OF
parochiaI elections held in the
parishes and municipalities.
Acqulescense-An accused
has no right to stand by and
suffer proceedings to take place
on statutory holiday and at
ter verdict, IN motion to quash,
ask to have the proceedings re
versed on the ground that IT was
holiday.
He sought an acquittaI which
would have been complete had
he been acquitted.
Statutory-Tbe days entitled
illegal holidays do not have
the effect of rendering legal
business null if it takes place by
consent, or if an accused chooses
not to timely urge what there
may be in the objection. The
objection is not timely nor in
proper form urged for the first
time in a motion in arrest OF
Judgment.
Sundays-The observance of
the seventh day has different
meaning than observance of a
Statutory holiday" With the
former it is coeval with the ere
alton and with the latter with
he date of the statue to which |
{ owes its title.
The history of the common
aw clearly indicates the charac-
er of the day and the respect OF
honor to which it is entitled.
{ is different as to a statutory

redness of the Sabbath, and

VALUES IN APPROPRIATION.

In railroad appropriation
suit where the only questions
brought up for review are as tc
the market value of the land
taken, and as to the necessity
for the width of the right OF
way claimed, the verdict of the
jury on such issues will not be
disturbed unless manifestly erro-
neous.
In appropriation proceedings
by railway company, the ere
terion of value is the fair market
value OF the property at the
date OF the institution of the
suit, in view of any and all uses
TO which it may be applied or
adopted, exclusive OF any in
crease in value caused by the
construction of the proposed
railroad through the property.
Market value does not mean
speculative value, but the fair
value of the property, as it
stands, between one willing to
purchase and one willing to sell.
