BROWN SEES GOOD IN DIVORCE

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, July o.
That divorce, when fairly obtained with
out fraud and upon due and personal no.

10 the welfare of both sides and proves a

Henry p. Brown of the United States
supreme court. who was the principal
speaker at the meeting of the Maryland
Stat- Bar Association yesterday.
Ex-Justice Brown took for his subject
The Law and Its Procedure in Divorce.
He treated the marriage relation as Il civil

on the divorce question he referred to as

Good Reason for Divorce.
A proper regard for the interests of

liable conduct of either party, and that re-
lation which should represent the acme
of human happiness is made to stand for
all that is most repugnant to our desires
and anticipations, severance of the tie

No More Liberty Bell Jaunts

Leniency in the past. and perhaps the
natural desire of councilmen to see the
country at the public expense, have led
to the establishment of a precedent with
respect to the bell that is now generally
regretted. All the associations Of the bell
are with the old statehouse, where the
bell fulfilled the prophetic inscriptsSn
which II bears, and proclaimed liberty
throughout the land and to all the in

ORDERED REGALIA FOR
CORONATION IN 1892

SOFIA, June 26.-The coronation of
Gar Ferdinand will be a gorgeous af-
fair, and money will flow like water
when the Bulgarian monarch confirms his
self-assumed title of emperor.
1t is, of course, we'll known that Fer
dinand has cherished the aspiration of
being crowned car for many years, but
1t is not so we'll known that he actually
ordered the regalia for the ceremony from
a Munich firm so long ago as 1892. In
that year it seemed as though the powers
would consent to his being proclaimed
car, but slip occurred and the regalia
was never needed.
Ferdinand, who was bitterly disap-
pointed, would not redeem the regalia
and the Munich goldsmith had to go 10
law to get his money. The goldsmith
put the regalia in his shop window with
a ticket announcing that they were made
for Ferdinand All Munich came to have
a look. until Princess Clementine paid the
bill and took the Jewels away to await
the happy event which is now forthcom-
ing.

Would Bequeath Her Ears

Harriet Martineau displayed originality
In the provisions she made at one time
for the disposal of her remains. James
Payn relates that, having consulted Toyn-
bee, the distinguished aurist, with regard
to her deafness, she was so pleased with
the interest he took in her case that she
resolved to leave him, by testamentary
bequest, her ears She announced this in
tention in the presence Of her medical
man, Mr. shepherd. who. to my infinite
amazement, observed: But my dear
madam, you can't do that; it will make
your other legacy worthless The fact
was. in the interests of science. Miss
Martineau had already left her head to
the chronological society. I asked the
doctor how he came to know that. Oh
ne said, she told me so herself; she has
left ten pounds in her codicil to me for
cutting 1t Off" The doctor, however, died
before his patient, and the chronological
society never received the legacy Of her
head.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis.-The first authen-

west of the Atlantic seacoast was received
by Miss Anne Devine. a stenographer for
the Milwaukee Journal.
When the Journals new wireless tele-
phone instrument had been adjusted by
the inventor DIR. Lee DeForest, ard the
Chicago operator had said he was ready
to send the wireless message. Miss De-
vine attached the telephone receiver such
as is used by telephone operators. and
took the message with the same ease as
though taking dictation from a reporter
somewhere in the city.
1T didn't seem any different" said Miss
Devine afterward, than taking dictation
over any other telephone. I could hear
the words even more clearly than one
usually can over the wire telephones"
It will be no small honor to be remem-
bered as the girl who with a few words
announcing a simple news item. opened
the great central west to the commercial
possibilities of this remarkable tnstru-
ment
