DEATH OF MRS. CULLoM.
Wife of Illinois Veteran Senator Ex-
pires i'm Washington.

pres IN w
Mrs. Shelby NJ. Cullom, wife of the
Illinois Senator, died in Washington
the other day after a long illness.
Mrs Cullom was one of the last
women in official life who was in
Washington during the stirring days
of the civil war at the time of Lin
coins assassination. Mr.. Cullom took
his seat in the lower house in March,
1865, and remained there continuously
until 1871, when, after a period of pri-
vate life, he was made Governor of
his State. Mrs. Cullom could count a
variety of episodes in her long and
successful career as wife of public
man. She was the second wife of the
Illinois Senator, his first being her eld-
est sister. Few couples in public life,
it is said, manifested the sincere af-
lection which always marked the rela-
lions of Senator and Mrs. Cullom.

Declaring the greatest curse that
hovers over the United States is the
divorce evil, Archbishop Glennon, of

of ST Mary Magdalene in Salt Lake.
Cardinal Gibbons was present. Arch
bishop Glennon said: 1--WE are going
through a crisis How long will it
stand, this republic of ours, if the
home begins to fall? When the home
falls the republic falls, and when the
republic falls, the last support of lib

are overshadowed by divorce. With
every divorce at least one home is
broken and one home is ruined. If we
would maintain the standard of Chris

A heavier business than has ever
been known in a single year is looked
for by Chairman Knapp of the Inter
state Commerce Commission for Amer
lean railroads during the present fiscal
year. The serious situation anticipat-
ed, not only by Judge Knapp, but by
other officials of the commission, and
by operating railroad men generally,
is that there may be a shortage OF
cars. The crop prospects are consid
cred so bright that the transportation
companies may be taxed beyond their
capacity to handle the freight Ac
cording to figures submitted to the
commission the railroads have recov
cred from the low business pressure
of year and half ago, and now are
handling almost as much traffic az
they did in the rush months of 1907
which was the banner year in Ameri

cities of the country is now being
carefully scrutinized, with view to
probable changes in some details, by
Chicago firm of expert accountants.
Certain changes in the system will
probably be made in order that the
treasury may respond more promptly
to the business demands of the couD-
try at crop periods and other crucial
times. The investigation also will re-
suit in better designs for subtreasury
buildings that will, if possible, prevent
future thefts of money such as that
of $4,000 at Chicago as well as an
other at st. Louis some time ago.
