A Bride as Reformer.

Miss Blatch, granddaughter OF Eliz-
abeth Cady Stanton, is also a reform
er like her distinguished ancestor,
but with a difference. Mrs. Stan
ton demanded the right of suffrage
and got nothing; Miss Blatch estab-
fishes a little reform on her individual
account which, as a precedent, may
have far-reachEng results and serve in
the end to emancipate a great multi
tude OF oppressed citizens, both men
and women, who have not had the
courage to break their chains.
Miss Blatch, who is to be married
next week, has caused to be inscribed
on one corner of the wedding invita-
tons these joyous and welcome
words: ut is the brides wish that no
gift be sent" Privately she is said
to have remarked that she had many
friends whom she wished to ask to
the wedding, and, knowing that pres
ents on such occasions make a heavy
drain On the purse, she desired 10
have her marriage free from the bur
densome suggestion.

Congress and Politics.

The Indianapolis News, an indepen-
dent Republican paper, of which Vice
President Fairbanks is the largest
stakeholder, y
so far the present Congress has
lived up to expectations. There is no
reason to doubt that it will continue
in the same way. 1t has done practi-
cally nothing but talk. The Aldrich
currency bill, to be sure, is before the
| Senate, and it is expected that 1t will
be passed by that body in some shape
Or other. Whether it can get through
the House is a matter OF grave doub..
To the country at large, whatever
New York and other Eastern money
| centers may think of it, the bill seems
most unsatisfactory. But report has il
that the President will use his inlu-
ence in behalf of the measure; and
that the Republican leaders hope with
that help to be able to jam the bill
through. This apparently is to be
done on the theory that it must be
this bill or nothing, and that 1t would
not do for the Republicans to go to
the country without having made any
move to correct the money system.
$50 lar this is the only piece OF
constructive legislation-if indeed it
is prope to give it this designation
Of any importance to come before
either House. OF course, there are
tie appropriation bills, but they do
not count. The greatest part OF the
time has been given over to political
| speeches-criticisms of one party by
the other, of the good old-fashloned
| sort. All this is with a view to the
approaching campaign-in the hope
Of providing material for e~lectioneer-
ing purposes. All this rs no OF half
SO much importance as your average
| politician thinks. For speeches sent
out by the campaign committees re,
ceive scant attention.
There is nothing unusual in this
do-nothing policy, though 1t rs some
| what emphasized by the fao, that the
President has been strenuous in urg-
| ing that much be attempted. In the
session before a presidential election
The dominant party is inclined to spar
| for position, and to take no afirma-
| tive action that can possibly be post
poned. So it is frankly announced
that nothing can be done now about
| the tariff-even in so fragrant a case
of need as that presented by the con
duct of the print paper monopoly.
The cruel injustice to Philippine trade
must not be inquired into. or in the
least diminished. The plea of the
manufacturers for relief, at least to
the extent OF a commission to collect
facts and lay them before Congress
at its next session rs ignored. Needed
changes in the law affecting railways
and the powers of the interstate com
mission, urged by the President, must
wait. Steps toward a th~orough-go-
ing reform of our monetary system
must not be taken.

MORTGAGE EXEMPTIONS.
A Few Facts Which are Applicable 20
Tax Payers and Should be Ad-
hered To.

All those wishing TO take out mort
gage exemptions must do so during
the months of March and April. 1t
will be impossible to do SO after the
last day of April.
The property must be in parties
name and the mortgage in force on
the first day of March in order to
claim an exemption. In stating
mount of mortgage give amount on
first day of March.
The County Board of Review will
not allow exemptions unless the state
ments are properly made.
Notaries and all others who make
out exemption papers must see to it
that book and page of record is noted
on said exemption. The Board de-
cided that hereafter no exemption
would be considered unless SO made
out This data is necessary for Board
of Review. County Assessor and
County Auditor. Without it the work
of the officials is very much hindered,
hence they insist upon a complete
statement, as the law requires.

Miners Entombed; 81 Are Rescued.

All but one OF the tWenty-eight men
and boys who were entombed Mon
day in the Mid-Valley c%olliery at
Shamokin, Pa, were rescued early
Tuesday morning. Frank Orloskii, a
miner of Mld-Valley, fell down a
chute after the accident and was kill
ed.
The men were er.tombeo by a num-
Der of pillars OF coal running, causing
a gangway to close in. When the
miners were imprisoned they gath
cred in a long well-ventilated gallery
and made plans as to the best man
of digging their way through .e
blockade. The men had picks and
shovels and began work without delay.
The imprisoned men heard share
raps on the steam pipe running
through the drift and felt certain Of
being rescued. When the rescuing
party penetrated 10 the entombed
men it was found that the men had
dug for a great distance through the
fall of coal. There were few persons
at the entrance to the drift when the
rescued men reached the surface. The
men quickly made their way to their
homes, showing no bad effects OF
their experience.

GRIFFIN-GLEASON,
WANTS SEPA-
RATION.

Mrs. Sophronia Gleason, better
known as Sophronia Reed, of this
city, has filed suit against her eighth
husband, James Gleason, for divorce.
OF her eight husbands, all are living
except two, the first and third.
After the death of her first husband
in 1856, Mrs. Reed who was then "a
years of age, married John Ross, "a
man from Missouri and lived with
him for two years. In the month of
June 1883 she was granted a divorce
from him. and in November Of the
same year was married to Jesse Bur-
kett, a wealthy farmer who resided
near Tippecanoe, and a few months
later was divorced from HIM. Mr..
Burkett died a few years ago. Her
next husband was John Wickizer OF
less than a year before obtaining a
separation. Husband number 5. was

divorced, and he is now married again
and living in South Bend. Upon mar
rying her next husband, John Boil
linger, a we'll to do farmer, she chang
ed her residence TO her husbands
farm. a few miles south OF Warsaw.
Less than a year later a divorce was
granted, this time, however, TO the
husband.
Alexander Griffin was her next
choice, that gentleman having come
from Ohio. With him she resided
two years. Griffin is now living in
Illinois. On July 4, 1907, she was
united in marriage for the eighth
time. TO James Gleason Of South
Bend. and from whom she has just
filed a suit for divorce. she claims
that Gleason represented to her that
he had a farm and property but she
soon discovered. SO she claims. thar
ne was penniless.
Whether a divorce will be granted,
remains TO be seen. Certainly the
case OF this woman is remarkable,
If not a record breaker.

Tough on tho sardines.
(Ban,gor. Me-, News)

ME-, ANcNSJ
The American sardine business has
encountered a most unexpected and
serious condition, caused by the inabil-
ity of the packers to obtain cans ow-
ing to the shortage in the supply of
tim plate September has always been
depended upon to furnish about one
third of the total output of the fac
tories, and the scarcity of tin and the
apparent impossibility of the packers
to obtain a supply will cause a shut
down in most of the large factories
during the very best part of the sea-
son. Fish are now plentiful and the
catch is just the size most desired for
sardines, yet several Of the large fac
tories have not more than enough
cans on hand to last another day. From
present prospects it looks as tho it
would be impossible to operate the
factories more than two days each
week during the rest of the season.
