Woman Benefits by Liberal Divorce.
George Elliott Howard. in the December NIcCurs's.
The wife more frequently than the hus-
band IS seeking in divorce an escape from
marital ills. In large measure the d.
vorCe movement is an expression Of
woman's gaining independence. During
the two decades 1SS7-l9d6 I'm the United
States over 66 per cent of the DEGREES
were granted on the wifes petition.
Among the principal causes. only for
adultery was the number granted TO the
husband (591 per cent? greater than the
number granted 10 the wife; and in this
case, were social justice done, who can
doubt that the ratio would be- reversed d?
Here is wrong due 10 the vicious dual
standard of morality by which society
stiIl measures the sexual sins Of man and
woman, 20 the womaus disadvantage. To
realize 10 what a frightful extent mar
riage SIS being polluted and family we'll
being destroyed by men. il is needfrI only
to glance at the sickening record OF the
ravages of social disease disclosed by
the researches OF Prince Morrow. The
mention of a single fact must here suffice.
Venereal diseases are five times as nu-
meTous as tuberCulaT diseases: and, on
the average, every year not less than
$4,000 Young men are infected by them,
Ultimately, innocent wives and children
are the victims.
The value of the divorce remedy for
woman is revealed in various ways by
the tables showing the relative number
or decrees granted 10 the husband or to
the wife, respectively. In 50 per cent OF
all DEGREES granted for cruelty. in 500 per
cent of those granted for drunkenness.
and in 100 per cent Of those granted for
neglect to provide, the husband was the
offender and the wife the plaintiff. For
desertion the number Of DEGREES reaches
the astonishing total Of 567,5O2, or nearly
SS.9 per cent Of the entire number on all
grounds for the twenty years.

DOORS AS AID TO DIGESTION.
OFientnIs InhaIe sweet Perfumes
After Each Meal.


Sweet scents TO aid digestion are an i'm
portation from the Orient. The influence
Of odors is exceedingly marked. says the
Chicago Tribune. Some people cannot re-
main where Hlacs are In fun bloom or
bear the odor of jasmine. Some are given
a headache by heliotrope or tuberose
Some are given the vertigo or a sinking
sensation by cantharides. some are nau-
seated even by roses, Attacks Of real i'll
ness with long trains of digestive dis
orders following in their wake may be
brought on by odors.
The fact can be explained only as a
pathological phenomenon. says DR..
George NJ Nilese, exertiug its influence
on the most vulnerable point in the hu-
man economy. the eastrO-intestinaI tract.
As offending scents may set in motion a
train of morbid digestive symptoms, so,
on the contrary, those that are sweet and
agreeable may exercise a highly beneficial
effect. The Orieuyals have developed 70
a notable degree the faculty Of deriving
the most enjoyment from inhaling fra

trancing perfumes. Tt is the custom OF
many Eastern peoples TO spend after
each meal a season Of quiet while the air
around them is rendered fragrant by a
fine mist Or bottle of their favorite
perfume is constantly inhaled
Even the poor indulge IN this habit. for
all feel that it benefits nerves and diges-
ton. Or. Nilese believes that a psychic
state favorable to the digestive process
may be induced through the olfactories
fully as well as through the other senses.

STORIES OF THE irish
SeaumaS MacManus Delights
His Auditors at BelaScO.
FAIRY AND FOLK LORE TALK
Known TO Many Readers Through
Magazine Articles, He Makes His
form, and Recifes Gay and SOmber
TaIes-PIeasing Irish Proverbs.

Lovers of Irish folk and fairy lore who
gathered at the Belasco last evening heard
a wealth Of stories Of the Old Sod related
by seumas MacManus. who comes direct
from the environments Of the tales and
/ legends which he tells.
From County Donegal, Mr.. MacManus
is one OF the best known Of a group Of
! Ilitterateurs who. during the last few years,
have done much 10 revive and extend in
terest in the wealth Of story and romance
which lies in every Irish dale and glen
and moor and bog.
Much Of this romance had been put into
/ permanent form by the old Celtic bards;
still, a greater wealth Of it has come down
through endless repetition from genera
tion TO generation.
For Renaissance Movement.
The mission Of Mr. MacManus and 9TH
ers Of the group in the irish renaissance
movement. such as Mr.. Yeats and LAD
Gregory, has been to popuarize and 10
make accessible these mines Of ancient
| lore
/ Known 10 many readers through his
| charming magazine stories. Mr.. Mac
/ Manus made his first appearance on the
public platform in Washington last even
/ ing The tales he recited included ancient
| fairy and folk lore, which is now, as it
always has been, part Of every Irishman's
/ Inheritance. He told both gay and SOM
I Der tales, including among the latter the
/ legend OF the dreaded baushee, the fairy
whose form takes the semblance Of a lit
/ tie white woman with black hair and
| whose presence in a tree at night foretells
the coming OF the dark angel to the
household.
Recites Irish Proverbs.
/ Then Mr. MacM8nus recited Irish prov
/ erbs whose morals were not far TO seek,
such as a pleasant word never broke a
tooth. the same truism being conversely
stated that words Of a different character
were known to break d nose. Not less
attractive were his tales Of the heroic
/ age.
/ Many Of Mr.. MacNanus auditors had
heard the tales on the native sod; others
/ had heard them from their fathers and
| grandfathers. All who heard them last
| night were delighted.

SCHWAB SIZES
PROSPERITY

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Charles NJ.
Schwab, who was at the Waldorf to-
day, was not inclined to be depressed
over gloomy prophecies by James j.
Hill.
"Mr. Hill is one of the best inform.
ed men in the country, and personal
friend of mine" said Schwab, so that
l should dislike to discount anything
he is reported to have said At the
same time | think that if he did make
the statement accredited to him, he
was tri1e too. pessimistic. 1t may
be true that we are going to have a
little depression, but l believe it can
not stop the healthy, happy, inevitable
progress and prosperity that are
awaiting us"
Benjamin f. Koakum, chairman of
the Executive Committee of the st.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad, is
also more optimistic about the BUSH
ness outlook than Hill. He said in
an interviews:
There seems to be but little stock
ticker prosperity in New York.. but
there is a good deal of real prosperity
in the Southwest. After crossing the
Mississippi River one rarely hears the,
New York stock market referred to.
Trading in securities is not the bust
ness of the west, and securities listed
on the stock exchange are not the col
lateral required or generally used by
the bankers in the West. The peo-
pie there are busy with their work
and care little about the stock mar
ket. 1t may rise or tall ten points
and few know it, or, at least, pay at
tention to it.
"The country is going ahead in a
substantial way, and there need be no
fear of a disastrous falling off in the
general business of the country. While
business is not going on with a rush,
there is a gradual upbuilding which is
better and more permanent than
| boom-time methods. l look for good,
steady business"

WHAT SUNK
THE MAINE
SOON KNOWN

HAVANA, December Tonight and
day the sound of steam hammers, the
windlass and the drills can be heard at
the wreck of the Maine, where more
than 100 men are doing the prelimin-
airy work necessary to the raising of
the battered hulk. Two Dig pile drivers
are engaged in picking up loose pieces
of the wreck ana one is also used as
workshop for carpenters and ironwork-
ers.
A few days ago one of the large
steel booms attached to the mainmast
of the battleship was raised and was
found to be in good condition, even
the two heavy pulleys on the end of
it being serviceable after being clean
ed. This boom has been swung to a
large eye-bolt higher up on the mast
which projects from the water, and is
used in hosting material, the winch
on the piledriver furnishing the mo-
tive power. The condition of this
boom and the pulleys leads the en-
gineers to believe that The steel and
iron composing the hull have not UNI
dergOne any very great change.
The Maine at the time of the ex-
plosion was swinging with her nose
toward the Havana shore, and the
wreck lies in line almost west and
east, bow and stern, the buoy to which
she was moored being about three
eighths of a mile from the west shore
of the bay The wreck lies in about
the center of the harbor.
The space inclosed by the caissons
which are to be sunk around the wreck
will be about three square acres The
Maine was 324 feet long and 81 feet
beam, and the center of the caissons
will be 20 feet from the hull. There
will be % caissons--siX so feet in dia.
meter, on each side, and five 40 feet in
diameter at the bow and five at the
stern. This win leave as feet between
the inside of the line of caissons and
the hull all around. The figure des.
cribed by the line will be large oval,
494 feet long and 247 feet wide. The
caissons will be sunk u inches apart,
the interval will be fill1d in with inter.
locking steel piling, of which the Gals.
sons will be composed. The caissons
will be filled with mud pumped from
around the wreck. They will work
like a row of monster barrels around
the wreck.
The caissons will rise five feet above
the surface of the water. There is 35
feet of water wh"re the Maine lies
and II feet of mud or harbor deposit
The piling will be driven IS feet into

TO QUIT INCH
FINANCE FOR
PHILANTHROPY

NEW YORK, December 1O.-George
W. Perkins has announced his re-
tirement from the firm of ]. p. Morgan
& Co., to devote his time to extending
the principles of profit-sharing and
other benefit plans for solving the con
fiict between capital and labor. The
announcement, given out this after
noon after the close of business, says
in part:
"On January LIST | will have been
with the firm of j. p Morgan & Co.
ten years, and engaged in business ac-
tivities over thirty years. l am with
drawing to devote more time to cor
poration work and work of a public
nature in which am deeply interest
ed
I'm continuing my relations with the
industrial and other business organiza-
tions with which | am connected, |
hope to find further opportunity for
extending the principles Of profit-shar-
ing and other benefits which science
has shown offer practical solution of
some of the difficulties existing be-
tween capital and labor.
At Columbia University two years
ago, and at Harvard University last
spring. l spoke of the importance of
solving the new problems at present
facing the country, and which have
followed the organization of the great
cooperative combination of capital
and it is my hope that the experience l
have had may enable me to contribute
something toward the adjustment of
those matters, which seem to me to be
of the largest consequence to the
country"
In recent years Perkins has repre-
scented the firm in the great industrial
organizations in which they are inter
ested, and the formal announcement
indicates that his relations to those
concerns will continue. Before he en-
tered J. p. Morgan & Co. Mr.. Perkins
was vice-president and general man
ager of the New York Life Insurance
! Company
The formal announcement made by
j. p Morgan & Co., says, in part:
Announcement is made by Messrs. J
P. Morgan & Co. that Edwin F.. Whit
ney and George w. Perkins will retire
from che firm on January l, 1911, ant
that William H. Porter, president o
the Chemical National Bank, anC
Thomas w. Lamont, vice-president o
the First National Bank, will become

CORPORATIONS ALL OVER THE
LAND AWAIT MOMENTQUS DECISION

by the government against the sugar
trust, the circular goes on to say:
This would be done if the present
proceedings had never been begun"
So it will doubtless be with many
other corporations on similar foot
ing.
The railroads, for their part, are
more vitality interested in the action
of the interstate commerce commits
sion on their proposed increased
freight rates. The pros and cons of
the case have been set before the pub
lie in the hearings just closed, and
the railroads ando the shippers have
alike had their day in court.
Facing important Task.
1t is recognized that the commission
is facing a stupendous and most i'm
portant task in deciding between the
conflicting claims of the roads and
the shippers, and no man is bold
enough to forecast the outcome.
The financial district in New York
is inclined to the belief that the COM
mission will grant the increases. 1t
bases it's hope upon the supposed at
titude of individuals on the commits
sion, and upon the report that the ad-
ministration favors increased rates be-
cause the roads have advanced wages
of employees. But the decision of the
commission will be by a. recorded
vote, and no one knows now how the
members of the commission will stand
after they have gone over the evidence
and discussed it among themselves,
free from suggestion of counsel.
So the more cautious of the big men
in the financial district are said to be
"up in the air." as well as the laymen
in Washington. Some of the great
trunk lines, in their reports made pub
lie this week, have shown a startling
falling off in earnings. What effect
this demonstration will have upon the
commission is a subject only of con-
lecture.
Chances of Tariff Revision.
AS to the attitude of Congress, the
principal concern of the financial
world is said to be whether there is TO
be an extra session and consequent
tinkering with the tariff. The interests
are not so much concerned over the
Presidents recommendations for ad-
ditional legislation, for they realize
the limitations for action in the short
ness of the session and the further
fact that the present organization of
the Senate will continue until March
4.
If there is not to be an extra ses-
sion of Congress this spring the finan-
cial world will be emboldened to look
for a period of legislative inaction UNI
til the following spring, giving nearly
a clear twelve months of undisturbed
tariff conditions.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-12-23

WASHINGTON, December New
is deeply interested in Washington
these days, and the big men in the
money world are trying to keep in
close touch with governmental affairs.
President Brown of the New York
Central was in town yesterday, Pre-
sident McRea of the Pennsylvania a
day or two afo and half a dozen or
more lesser lights and representatives
of financial interests have been and
are in town
These men agree that all interest
centers in Washington and that good
times or bad in the financial and in
dustrial world will be the outcome of
developments here in the next few
months.
Watching Three Contingencies.
The future of investment, specula-
tive, banking, industrial and railroad
prosperity, they declare, depends up
on three contingencies in the order
of their statement, namely, the dis
position by the United States Supreme
Court of the suits against the Stan
dard Oil and Tobacco trusts, the ac-
ton of the interstate commerce COM
mission upon the application for au-
thority to increase freight rates and
the procedure of Congress with res
IN Il
lions for restrictive legislation, togeth-
er with the decision as to tariff revi-
sion.
The anxiety as to "Washington's at
titude" as they tersely express it, is
not confined to the speculative ele-
ment. In these days the connection
between the speculative crowd and
the banking and investment groups is
so close as almost to make them iden.
tica'.
The greatest interest attaches to the
Supreme Courts action in the anti
trust cases.
1t is well understood, of course, that
the Supreme Court is expected to pro.
nounce the final analysis of the Sher-
man antitrust law in it's forthcoming
decisions, and to define clearly the
line of 'demarkation between legal
combinations of industry and capital
and those which are in restraint of
trade. The number of vast organiza'
lions which are ION all fours" with
Standard Oil and Tobacco and thus
subject to whatever decision is made
as to their standing in court no man
knows.
Sugar Trust to Conform.
An instance of the prospective
course of the industrials organized un
der modern conditions is given in cir
cular issued by the sugar trust last
week, which says: "If it appears, when
the Supreme Court interprets the
Sherman law in the Standard Oil and
Tobacco cases, that the sugar com
pany is in any respect violating the
Sherman laws steps will be immediate
ly and voluntarily taken to comply
with the law as thus Interpreted
Then, referring to the suit just filed
