New York Central Lines VIII Present
Them to Technical Schools of
Country.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-(special Telegram.)-
Instead of establishing a museum of it's
own to preserve it's relics, the management
of the New York Central lines has decided
to donate whatever it has of historical
value to the colleges and universities of
the country. To start the work the COM
pan has presented to Purdue university
in Lafayette, Ind, an old Eddy engine.
the only one of its type In existence, which
was built in Springfield. Mass, in 1876,
named Marmosa, and numbered 80.
This school already has I'm it's museum
five distinct types OF old locomotives and
the Eddy will make the sixth. The Mar
mosa has for some time been used for
heating cars at the Worcester, Mass,
terminal of the Boston & Albany road.
The Eddy is sufficiently small to be trans
ported on an ordinary flat car. The
standard weight Of engines built In 1870
was about 10000 pounds. while the stand
ard of passenger engines now on the big
roads is 276,OOO pounds.
The Eddy was way under the tandard

DIVORCE EXHIBIT DEPLoRABLE
Cardinal Comments Upon
showing by United states-One
in Twelve Marriages.

BALTIMORE, Nd. Nov. 2s.-Cardinal
Gibbons commented today on the divorce
statistics recently sent forth. 1t was a
deplorable exhibit, he said, that there was
not a united effort to combat the evil II
we are TO remain a Christian people.
There must be more stringent legislation
ON the subject, he declared.
Referring to the showing OF one divorce
In every twelve marriages, the cardinal
said:
But when we come to observe more
closely. we find that as the Catholics do
not tolerate divorces they must be ex-
cluded from this state, which makes the
showing actually one divorce in every ten
marriages. Could anything be more shock
ing?
The data shows that the divorce rate
lie higher In the United States than In
any other civilized country in the world"
He added: THE marital tie is becoming
less and less binding, and unless some
thing can be done to check the evil, the
results must be appalling"
