and, consequently, we shall both
realize and enjoy that larger
measure of prosperity that is ours
for the striving in common.
Sincerely,
F. A. MOORE.

GIBBONS ON DIVORCE
Cardinal sjbbens lamsnts the Condition
In This csuRtry.

Baltimore. Md, Nov. 8o.-Cardinal ]
Gibbons commenting on the divorce
Statistics recently set forth in Fede, a
census bulletin said it was a deplor-
able exhibit, and there must be united
effort to combat the evil if we are 10 re
main Christian people. There must
be more stringent legislation on the
subject, he declared.
Referring to the showing of enc di-
vorce in every twelve marriages, made
by the Federal experts, the Cardinal
said:
but when we come to observe NOR.
closely we find that as the Catholics
de not tolerate divorce, they must be
excluded from this statement which
makes the showing actually one di
vorce in every ten marriages. Gould
any thing be more shocking? The data
shows that the divorce rate is higher
in the United States than in any other
civilized country in the world. The
marital tic is becoming less and less
binding, and unless something can b
done to check the evil the results must
be apalling.''

HAAS MUST STAND TRIAL.
Man Jointly Indicted With Theodore
Price and Others on Charge OF
Connection with Gotten
Leak Scandal will be
Tried in WaSbiA0tOn.
Tried in WASHINGTON.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Moses Haas
must go Washington to stand trial ON
a charge of conspiracy to defraud the
United States government in connec-
ton with the so-called cotton report
lsake scandal case. This was definite
ly determined today when United
States Commissioner Shields held
Haas for triol in the Washington
courts. Haas was indicted together with
Theodore s. Price, E. S. Holmes, Jr.,
and Frederick A. Peckham, by fed
eral grand jury in this city last June
The indictments were identical except
that in some of the bills it was alleged
that the crime was committed in New
York, and in others the City Of
Washington was named.
Counsel for Haas applied later tor q
writ of habeas corpus on behalf OF his
client, cOntending that Haas was not
in the custody of the court, but in the
hands Of the bondsman. Judge Holt
granted the writ and pending the hear
ing ON it the accused was held in $5,-
GEO bail, which was furnished. The
extradition proceedings in the case OF
Price and Peckham still pending be-
fore Commissioner Shields were prac-
tically decided in advance by the opln-
ion in the Haas matter.

STEADY IMPROVEMENT
Excerpts From Matthew Addy and
..'SCirCuldf.

Solid improvement in business is re-
ported from every quarter and the fol-
lowing excerpts from Matthew Addy
& Co.'s Cincinnati circular are in line
with the general situation:
There was a time few months
back when q consumer did not care
how long shipments were postponed
the longerlsthe better. But that is al
changed now and many foundries thai
were running on one third or one-halt
time have gone back.t to full time. At
the beginnings of the buying move
ment. the furnaces were willing to sci
for delivery. through the entire frs,
half of 1899, but since such a volume OF
iron has been sold deliveries are being
limited to only the first quarter of next
year andDin manys casess furnaces pre-
fer not to quote at all.
"We believeiit is a fact that the i'm
provement in the business started with
pig iron, but itihassnow spread to the
finished lines. The whole trade is on
a much better foundation than was the
case a month ago.
1.-THE prices OF southern No. is firm
at $13, Birmingham, and in the north
the general asking price is $16. These
quotations mark q substantial advance
over those that ruled In September and
october and IN themselves reflect the

WATCHING FOR BODIES.
Persons Thought Drowned From
Motorboat Picked Up at Sea.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEWBURYPORT, Mass, September q.
7-Life-savers are keeping close watch for
the bodies of several persons who are
supposed to have been drowned from a
large power boat picked up by William
Pierce fisherman about seven miles Off
the Plum Island coast.
Pierce was fishing when he saw the
boat in the distance. Lines were arranged
for fishing and the engine had been stop
ped but a short while, as the cylinder
was warm. but no one was aboard. He
lowed the boat to his wharf at Black
Docks; where it is now moored IL was
so far from land that the parties who oc-
cunied IL could not have left 1T In ten
der and reached land without having been
seen by Mr.. Pierce. and again the engine
would have cooled quickly. so that they
could not have gone far from the craft
before Ii cooled.
The seas have been exceedingly heavy
off this coast for the past few days, and
II is possible that the parties left the boat
in a tender and were swamped without
having been seen.

for though of wood it is wickerlike in
construction. Inside this building are
the church bells, mounted as in the ordi-
nary way, but without ropes. Each bell
is in charge of a ringer, who lays hold
of the bell wheel and swings 1t over. There
is a legend that when the church steeple

ing the night and demolished the work
of the previous day. This unfinished
