CASTRO CHEERED IN BERLIN.
Venezuelan President Is Warmly Re
ceived by the Germans.

Berlin.-President Castro of Venez-
uela and the members of his party ar
rived here Monday evening. The train
reached the Geological Garden station,
on the edge of the city, somewhat
later than expected, but it was awaited
by a dense crowd of people who had
gathered out of curiosity. AS the
train steamed into the depot the presi-
dent was greeted with shouts of Long
live Castro There was a general
lifting of hats and much cheering.
Members OF Castro's suite stated
that the president had sent a dispatch
to Emperor William from Herbesthal,
in the German frontier, stating that
he had come to Germany for medical
treatment and expressing profound
homage to his majesty. According to
the same authority, when he learned
the news of the capture of a Venezue-
Ian vessel by the Dutch cruiser Colder
land he was not greatly affected
merely remarking that there was no
such vessel in the Venezuelan service.

Ethel Roosevelt Mourns Loss of Lemon

general lookout order was sent to
every district in the precinct and by
nightfall there was not a dog on the
streets of Washington In the collec-
ton held for identification was every
species of canine from NANCY mastiff
to a fiea-bitten flee. but none answered
to the name of Lemon.
Various motives, If dog may have
a motive, may be assigned to Lemon s
abrupt departure from the Roosevelt
household. He might have had a
vision of a small bull pup swinging to
the port side of lion in the wilds Of
Africa, and his masters voice shout
ing sic EN- Lemon"
Again, he might have dreaded the
time when he would reach the proper
age to be harnessed 70 one of Master
Archies carts, or be matched in a
main with the household cat, or wear
an empty can attached to his tail.
However, Lemons motive for running
away is purely speculative, for it is
not given in the police report, and his
mistress can attribute no cause for
the rash act"

Amazing Increase in Divorce Is Shown

population was 81 in 1870 and zoo IN
1890. This comparison" says the
bulletin, indicates that divorce is at
present two and one-half times as
common. compared with married
population. as It was 40 years ago
The Dakotas, which have national
reputation as divorce states, prove, on
analysis of the tables, TO be nowhere,
either In total number Of divorces
granted or number Of divorces per
100000 OF population as against other
states
In discussing the relation OF divorce
to population, the bulletin says. An
increase of 80 per cent IN population
between the years 1870 to 1880 was
accompanied by an increase of 70 per
cent. in the number Of divorces granted
In the next decade. 1880 TO 1890, the
population increased % per cent. and
divorces 20 per cent, and in the fol-
lowing decade, 1890 to 1900, an in
crease of q per cent. in population
was accompanied by an increase OF
&c per cent in the number Of divorces.
In the six years from 1900 TO 1906,
population, as estimated, increased
1O5 per cent and divorces 29.3 per
cent
1T thus appears that at the end Of
the 40-year period divorces were in
creasing about three times as fast as
population, while in the first decade
1870 to 1880 they increased only
about two and twothirds as fast.
Divorce rates appear to be much
higher in the United States than in
any Of the foreign countries for which
statistics relating 20 this subject have
been obtained
Two-thirds of the total number Of
divorces granted in the 20-year period
covered by this investigation were
granted to the wife Children were re-
ported in 1913 per cent. of the total
number of divorce cases.

Naval Officers Experts in Diplomacy

The story is that the Relief has been
burdened with woe ever since the
cruise began, and that every officer OF
the navy, except the doctors, is
tickled to death that this is so. The
line officers who didn't approve having
a doctor as their commander have
found many ways, the story goes, Of
making life miserable to the men in
charge of the hospital ship. OF course
the suggestion of a service conspiracy
to this end would be resented and
could not be proven, but there is a
sub rosa intimation that something
very like a cabal has been formed
with the purpose of proving how much

VIZ AsHINGTON.-It was generally
w known that divorces in the
United States were getting more
numerous each year, but nobody was
prepared for the surprising statement
made in census bureau report that
one marriage out of every twelve in
the country terminates in divorce.
Yet such is the case, as shown by the
bureaus figures.
The statistics are the result of care
full gathering of figures in every state
in the union, the period covered being
from 1887 to 1906 The last set of
national statistics on marriage and
divorce covered the period from 1867
TO 1886. The present set of statistics,
taken in conjunction with the former
one, therefore, gives a view of the
marriage and divorce question for the
past 40 years
The total number of marriages re-
corded for the 20year period from
1887 to 1906 was 12,S32,044. The total
number of divorces for the period was
945,625.
For the period of the first investiga-
ton of the subject. from 1867 TO 1886,
the total number Of divorces was $685.
TIC. At the beginning OF the 40-year
period covered by both investigations
there were In this country 10000 d.
vorces annually; at the end of the
period there were $4,000 annually.
