Theatrical Divorces.

We are getting q rather forceful and
somewhat distasteful demonstration OF
the growing Iooseness OF thought in the
matter Of divorce from the pIayer-foIk.
who have always been among the best and
most frequent patrons OF the divorce
court Nor IS IL the lesser players. those
who might be expected 10 have not quite
50 high standards Of conduct, that furnish

in the higher ranks. among those play
ers whom We have been taught 10 regard
as more OF less scholarly. and about
whona-ln soma OF the cases-nuca has
l,een written Of the sanctity of their

The most notable recent instance IS, Of
course the divorce OF Mr.. z. H. Sothern
from Virginia Harmed They were mar

I leading woman; but they have been prac-
/ tic uy separated for some time, and ncw.

all. Thea. another notable recent exam
( PIE is the divorce Of James X Hackett
/ and Mary Mannerizg, the suit for which
{ is pending. This was thought to be one
/ Of the ideal marriages CT the stage. They
were married in 1897, and have one daugh-
/ ter; but nov. fer causes which have not
1 been published. they are determined 20 be
/ divorced and go their separate ways

who had not long before secured divorce
from her husband: while. 10 make the

II may be argued from these instances,
a few out Of many taken from theatrical
life. that the state OF getting married and
getting divorced IS the normal condition
OF the people OF the stage II IS. we
think, a striking commentary on the loose

Il does not take much TO change the
expert opinion on military and naval
strategy OF upon the facilities Of oEense

heard OF the performance OF the Japa-
nese in their war with Russia that the
military and naval experts Of this country
were seized with an InexuuguishaoIe de-
sire TO copy nearly everything which the
Japanese had been using. Those people
speedily came 70 be our teachers. where
before they were considered by Us as be-
meath our notice AL sorts Of new Ideas
were obtained from the japanese army
and navy. and for a time there was
nothing which was considered really
worth while unless It had the sanction OF
The Jap.
