KNOCK ron DIVORCES FACTORIES
New York Court Lays Down n Rigid
Rule.
PhiladeIphia Bulletin.

Philadelphia Bulletin.
People who have secured foreign di-
vorces" will be interested in a decision Of
the supreme court Of New York that a
divorce at Reno is not valid where the
petitioner has not established a bona fde
residence and has not served a summons
in person on the respondent.
This decision is in line with the general
principle set forth by the supreme court
Of the United States a few years ago
that the domicile must be actual and, I'M
der ordinary conditions. that OF the hus-
band. As New Workers have been the
greatest patrons of divorce by the quick
routes provided formerly in South Dakota
and now in Nevada, there will be much
excitement over there, but il is to be
feared that some local women also will be
involved
As the situation stands, three things are
necessary to get a divorce. Actual cause

part of the petitioner in the jurisdiction

laws of his domicle permit service by pub
liCation. In other words practically all OF
the divorces granted at Sioux Falls and
Reno are the result of fraud and collision,

a disgrace to those involved and an injury
to society, but the most important factor
lies i'm the rights and interests of posterity.
If many of these divorces are Illegal much

This country sadly needs uniform laws
concerning marriage and divorce. ard the
worst of It all is that there is still very
little prospect of achieving such a dcsir-
able result.

salutary Progressive legislation by his

policy. II he had been less prodigal of his

Aviator Landed in Tree to Protect

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 49,
Ralph tombstone the former trick
bicycle rider, and now an aviator took
a nasy tumble in Asbury Park to
save a number of people in automo-
biles along the side of the park from
being crushed by the fall of his aero
plane.
tombstone had started for a trial
for the ten mile speed record. He
made three circuits of the field. There
was stiff wind blowing and he was
caught between two twisting air cur
rents which sent him scooting toward
the automobiles. Men and women
shouted and piled out on the grass.
tombstone deliberately twisted his
steering planes SO they carried him
into clump of trees.
The machine was smashed to pieces
and tombstone was thrown 80 feet to
the ground. He was unhurt except
for slight scratches
The finishing touches were put on
the new Wright biplane this morning
The new machine is the result of ex-
periments made by the Wright broth
ers at Dayton, Ohio, to secure greater
steadiness The new flyer Is frankly
a freak speed machine.

Bible and Obsolete Words.

The tercentenary edition of the Eng
lish authorized edition of the Bible,
over which there was conference
OF learned men in Princeton last week,
is to have some changes. Where the
meaning Of words has changed. the
text is to be changed so as not to be
misleading; where the old version Is
obscure it will be changed In the in
terest OF clearness: where 1t is in
felicitous in choice of word that viii,
be set right, and for words that hays
become obsolete others will be substi-
tuted. Damage could be done on all
Of these lines, but happily the work is
in the hands of men Of taste and judg-
ment. who will make no change for
the mere sake of change.
AS to obsolete words, it may be said
that no word that is in the Bible can
become obsolete. The Bible words
live and undoubtedly the English
Ditis has done service to the Eng.
lish language in keeping some good
words in use that might otherwise
have passed out of it. Let" in the
sense of hinder is said to be con.
demmed by the revisers. and perhaps
rightly, but 1t was a good old word In

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.--It was
news in sporting circles today that
Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight
title holder, had suffered severe
breakdown and has been ordered to
go to his home in Michigan for long
rest. According to some we'll inform
ed, his condition is so serious that it
Is doubtful whether he will ever be
able to indulge in a championship
battle again.
Ketchel is only 90 years old, but he
has taken part in nearly two hun
bred fights. He has made and spent
small fortune since he first came
into the limelight by whipping Joe
Thomas in California He received
$4,000 for his battle with Jack
O'Brien; $4,000 for two scraps with
Papke; $4,000 for the affair with
Johnson, about $4,000 for other
bouts OF lesser Importance.
