Justice Bowling has decided tu limit
each side TO three expert witnesses
and two Of the defense's trio we're
heard Thursday as TO the facts of the
mental and physical examinations
they made of Harry Thaw in the
Tombs prison following his arrests for
the killing of Stanford White.
Jerome's Plans Unknown.
No experts for the state have yet
appeared in the courtroom and Mr..
Jerome has not indicated the manner
In which he will combat the testimony
Of the alienists In the employ of the
defense. All Of the doctors who served
Mr.. Jerome at the first hearing are
under subpoena by the defense, not as
paid experts. but as possible witnesses
In sur-rebuttal of any action the dis.
trict attorney may take In combating
the insanity plea that has been built
up.
Justice Bowling held q conference
with all Of the attorneys interested
In the case before announcing his de-
cisiou TO limit the amount OF expert
testimony to be placed before the
jury. Last year the defense offered
six experts to answer the hypothetical
question. but these were overwhelmed,
numerically at least. by the battery Of
nine brought forward by the district
attorney. The effect OF Justice Dow.
ling's decision will be materially to
shorten the case.

detailing their conversations with
Thaw In the Tombs they brought out
hhpiV SiDoiiy WV POihlo were
CLOSED over last year. The first of
these was TO the effect that Thaw had
told them that in 1900 or 1901 he had
been a guest of Stanford White at a
dinner party in the Madison Square
garden tower. He bad let early and
been accused OF breaking up the party.
Some of the guests did not eat
much, Thaw declared. and the young
woman who sat next him declared the
food was bad.
Thaw also told the physicians OF
the first time that he saw Evelyn
Nesbit. It was in 1901 in front of a
theater. "A pure looking girl" he de
scribed her. When he asked who she
was he was told the name was Nesbit
and that "she belongs to Stanford
White" Thaw managed afterwards to
meet the girls at an after-theater sup
per in company with several other
chorus people.

DIVORCE, A NATIONAL CURSE
lBy CARDINAL GIBBoNSl

Divorce is one of the crying evils
of the day, in which the Church is
vitality interested. Our stand is un-
assailable. There should be no di-
vorce at all; II pleases me immensely
to hear that Bishop Greer Successor
to the late Bishop Potter and other
prominent members of other churches
feel as we do in the Catholic Church.
divorce today, and say 1t with
out reserve, is the one great black
spot upon American civilization. 1t
is terrible, unspeakable, outrageous.
The number or divorces in the United
States in proportion to tie popula-
ton Is the greatest in the world.
Think of that stain on our escutch-
con.
THE salvation of society depends
upon the family. The salvation Of
the family depends upon the prescr-
walton OF the marriage bond for all
time. Dissolve the marriage bond
and you virtually dissolve society.
Only when the sanctity of the mar
riage tie and the obligations of the
family relation are more fully real
lied, and religious training I'm the
| family becomes more general. may
we look for better conditions in So
ciety at large, and not until then.
"The great crimes and scandals
which are exciting so much comment
nowadays cab be traced directly to Il
| lack of sanctity In the family rela-
lions. II Is not so much marriage,
but the sacredness Of marriage,
which must Besrecognized. Until then
society can hardly hope to improve.
THE Church takes an unaltcrable
position with regard to divorce -
there can be none for any cause
whatsoever II people contemplating
matrimony realized this and found
out beforehand whether they were
suited to one another, there wouldn I
be so much work for the divorce
| courts to do.
Marriage Is u woman's destiny
1t Is the aim of her life. Her work
should be for her husband and her
children and her home. Anything
that interferes with her In this, her
true sphere, is wrong, and divorce
does that. Family purity is the one
and great cure for social Ills

the Women's Home Missionary Socie-
ty of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in Philadelphia, Mrs. s. u. Potter Of
Evanston, ILL.,, secretary of the mis-
sion work In Utah, offered resolu-
ton that Congress pass an anti-po-
lygamous amendment to the consti-
tuition. The resolution was adopted
unanimously by the convention. In
calling attention to the Importance
of action as manifested in the reso-
luton, Mrs. Potter declared that she
had found Utah the most difficult
field ever entered by the Home Mis-
sionary Society. She requested that
the delegates. after adjournment,
charge themselves with the task of
agitating the portions Of the coun-
try into which they were going to n
revolt against polygamy.
Men are prone to wink at evils
which, IL tolerated for any length of
time, may require heroic efforts to
extirpate them. While the Mormons
now declare that they do not prac-
tice polygamy, there is enough evil
dence TO show that the church in
Salt Lake City is promoting mar
riages which are contrary to law.
The lack of morality in the tenets
of the cult established by Joseph
Smith cannot be questioned. A CEN
fury hence our posterity will wonder
that such an anomalous condition as
that presented by the Mormon church
in Utah could exist in this country.
Between polygamy and the divorce
courts, the stability of the American
home has been seriously threatened
for some years past. II is to be hoped
that the movement recently inaugur-
ated by the women who attended the
convention In Philadelphia will, bear
the fruit which will be represented

the Constitution of the United States

by those who have neither the time
nor the inclination to delve into
such subjects and draw their own
deductions.
At the same time, Mr.. Atkinson is
a dyed-in-the-woo Free Trader md
the arguments he has set forth IN
support of his theories have hereto
fore been extremely amusing. As
there has been no occasion for tariff
discussions for many years, Mr.. At
kinson has not recently had an OPP
portunity to let himself loose in this
respect, and he must have been
awaiting the promised revision of the
tariff with the utmost zest.
Mr.. Atkinson Is known as one of
the cheap-coat tariff brigade and can
never be brought to answer an argu-
ment on the assertion that "a cheap
coat makes n cheap man" His idea
Is that there should be no tariff on
clothing, that II should all be admit
ted free of duty from England, Ger
many, and other countries where
wages are lower and II can be pro-
duced more cheaply than In the Uni
ted States. If this were done, of
course all the clothing factories In
the United States would have to be
closed, the workers in them would
be idle, earning no wages and un-
able even to buy the cheap clothes
made abroad 1t was in President
Cleveland's time, under the Wilson
bill, that we had Nsome little expert
ence of this kind, and then depots
were established In all the large East
ern cities where clothing had to be
given away free to men, women, and
children in order to save them from
shivering to death.
But now Brother Atkinson Is de-
voting his attention to warmer
cline, that of Cuba. He asks for a
reduction In the tarin on sugar pro-
duced in the Island Republic, a diff
ferential rate that will favor the for
eign islands cane-growers and sugar
manufacturers.
Ordinarily 1t would be supposed
| that Mr.. Atkinson were making this
appeal on behalf of his great and
good friends, the American people, a
sort of free-breakfast-table cry, Just
as he clamored for the cheap coat for
the man who was out of work and
had no money with which to buy the
coat. The thousands OF men who
work in the beet fields and factories
OF the mainland cut no ice with Mr..
Atkinson, 1t is something special that
he wants for the labor of Cuba and,
incidentally, for the capital invested
there, part of which belongs to Mr..
Edward Atkinson himself, who owns
a sugar plantation in Cuba, 1t is not
any free breakfast table that he
wants for the American people, but
his clamor is for a tariff crumb for
Edward Atkinson.
