NEW YORK DIVORCES.
Supreme Court Calendar Has 1000
Cases Listed for Disposition.

The announcement that there are
more than 1 600 cases of divorce, sep
aration, and annuIment of marriage on
the calendar of the Supreme Court
at present. TO be disposed OF before
June is somewhat disquieting. But
that court administers the law for
very large and thickly populated dis
trict. In 4 population of 100000 the
appeal of 500 discontinued married
couples for release from their mar
riage ties need not be taken as IN
indication that the community is a.
ready in 4 state of moral degradation
Doubtless, the complaint in MAJ !
cases is justifiab'e Until lately m =
riages have been easily contract
ed in New York We may hope that
one of the effects of the new mar
rage laws will be a decrease in the
number of divorces.
There is no doubt, however. that an
exaggerated sense Of liberty and the
right to personal happiness has de-
veloped in recent years. One of the
penalties of material progress and
modern luxury is the weakening Of
family ties. The spread of socilistic
ideas, the discomfort fostered by false
education. the increase Of comforts
tend to lessen the sense of mar tai
responsibility.

OF the situation than to suggest a

Cardinal Gibbons Tells Of a Joy That
BELONGS TO All.

Belongs to AL
Cardinal Gibbons. in his monthly
sermon at the cathedral today, SAID:
You may have pleasures, health
wealth, and all temporal goods. nut
you may be robbed of these. You
cannot. however. be robbed of tsat
joy of good heart that springs from
your clear conscience. This JOY can
not be monopolized by Rockefeller or
any other millionaire.
This JOY arising from a good and
upright conscience is yours. and you
alone can deprice yourself of it, me
rich can rejoice. the poor can rejoice,
because God, who was rich, became
poor. and because the poor are lmi-
tating Christ Even the sinner can
rejoice in the fact that he can be-
come reconciled TO God.
The cheerful man-and l mean the
cheerful Christian man-is not dis
mayed or cast down by the various
trials ami vicissitudes Of life; he is
always superior TO the occasion; he
rides on the storm and scars high IN
not only JOY within his breast, but
diffuses that JOY TO others.
What is the true basis of cheerful
ness?. We can't make that the basis
of our JOY which is not permanent.
Wealth, nor riches, can be the basis
Of joy, nor will you have joy in ex-
ultatiOn and praise-these are also
ephemeral.
About 80 years ago the most popu-
lar and prominent man, perhaps. IN
the United States was James Gillespie
Blaine. He ran for President of the
United States, the highest office with
in the gift Of this glorious nation.
This position was within his grasp,
but he never obtained it. He is now
passed away. his political constituents
are gone. his memory has faded, and
| doubt if TODAY there is even monu-
ment to mark his grave.
Il remember distinctly that ne call
ed On me a day or two after his de-
feat. He told me of the trials, suffer
ngs, tribulations, vicissitudes, and al
flictions that rest on the Presidents
of the United States, of whom oar
esteemed Mr.. Taft is now one. i
merely tell you this to show you that
you should not place your hope III
temporal things, or seek temporal IA
yors
What are the conditions of having
that constant sunshine of cheerful
ness and joy and gladness?
"First-A pure and upright con-
science.
"Second-YOu should be kindly dis
posed toward your neighbor.
"Third-Do not, above everything
else, attach yourself TO things earthly
and worldly, because they swiftly pass
away.
Never enter your home with the
cares of your Office or of public life
on your mind. No matter how much
YOU have been buffeted about during
the day in the business world, do not
enter the harbor of your home with
cares. Be cheerful. Take your meals
quietly and tranquility, and let not
cares enter into your mind when eat
ing. A cheerful disposition is good
aid to digestion. while morose dis
position is dyspeptic.'

nois, Saturday evening, Jan. Is, after
a run of over years duration at the
Hackett theatre, New York, and runs
of six months in Chicago and Boston.
For many years Mr.. Thomas was asso-
ciated with Washington Irving Bishop,
the celebrated thought reader, or telep-
athist, and for nearly 20 years he has
been a student of all scientific inQuir-
les along the fascinating lines of study
dealing with hypnotism, auto-sugges-
ton, mesmerism, mind reading, and
other psychic forces. All this study
and research might have led to heavy
and over-occult play which would have
frightened spectators away from the
theatre, but the playwright who has
given to the stage such wonderful bu-
man dramas as Alabama" I'm Miz-
zoura," and Arizona" and such de-
lghtful trifes as "Chimmie Fadden,"
"On the Quiet" Soldiers of Fortune
Mrs. LefingwelPs Boots THE Other
Girl" and THE Earl of Pawtucket,'
could not have been guilty of writing
an uninteresting play. THE Witch
ing Hour" is declared by all it's critics
to be full of Mr.. Thomas most enjoy
able humor, bristling with clever dia-
logue and fascinatingly imaginative in
it's romantic and dramatic incidents
and situations. There is one climax in
particular, in which Jack Brookfield,
the gambler-hero of this unique and
novel play, suddenly hypnotizes the
prosecuting attorney whom he has I'M
masked in his villainy and who has
come to kill him. Even as the fren-
zied attorney places the pistol to
Brookfeld's breast, the more nervy
gambler forces his would-be slayer to
let the revolver drop from his nerve
less fingers. The FEASIBILITY of this
exciting climax has stirred up much
controversy, and has bewitched its
large audiences nightly by it's sensa-
tional appeal. Mr. Thomas evidently
knows the value of good melodrama
even when dealing with abstruse spec
ulation and theories In treating of
the peculiar themes that he has in
THE Witching Hour" he has, never
theless, succeeded in adding a new
type of drama to the many styles that
now hold the boards.

THE MORNING eLoRIEs.

Says the press agent: "The Gay
Morning Glories" will be the merry
burlesque offering at the Illinois Jan.
IL. The company comes to us with
excellent endorsements and the stand
ing room only sign has been much in
evidence. The play promises to be a
little more than is usually understood
by the term burlesque. The fact is
that of late years the term has been
misquoted. Skits and vaudeville have
been offered under a title which in
past years was to be a brilliant satire
on some popular story. set to music,
and replete with wit and humorous
situations The management of "The
Morning GIories' has returned to this
quality and offers a real burlesque,
well cast, handsomely mounted and
brilliantly costumed. In addition to
this all the resources of electricity are
making the ensemble
equal to the Broadway musical come
dies. The first part is The Strolling
Players, musical farce dealing with
show life in the one-night stands. This,
of course, will be treated humorously,
still the picturesque atmosphere will
all be there, My Neighbours Wife is
the finale of the production"

A Little Sound Advice Will Help
Many a Sufferer In Rock Island.
No woman can be healthy and well
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off in the secretions when the
kidneys are well, are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become infamed
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness,
backache, sideache, etc. Uric poison
ing also causes headaches, dizzy
spells, languor, nervousness and
rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. Yoy will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will
return when the kidneys are well.
Let a Rock Island woman tell you
about Doan's Kidneys Pills.
Mrs. A. w. Boughton, Sears, ILL.,,
says: Il was in poor health for some
time and 1 now believe that all my
trouble was caused by weak kidneys.
My back ached a great deal and
there were dull, bearing-down pains
across my loins. I also had dizzy
spells and headaches. LOANS Kid
ney Pills were highly recommended
and deciding to try them, / obtained
box at the Harper House phar-
macy. They completely removed the
backache and 1 am now well. Doan's

INFLUENCE OF THE SMILE.

INT OF TIE SMILE
DeWolf Hopper, who will be seen at
the Illinois in his newest and greatest
success, "a Matinee Idol" tomorrow,
believes that the smile is the most
potent influence for happiness in the
world. In a recent interview Mr.. Hop
per said that the inward quality Of

Is the thing that the smile typif1es.

what, then, may it beg" was
asked.
"The spirit behind the smile" said
Mr.. Hopper. There's nothing attrac-
tive about the distention of the lips or
the showing of molars. Not thing
in the world. It's what causes the lips
to part that makes people happy. Do
you see the point?"
1t was quite apparent.
Laughter is my hobby" continued
Mr.. Hopper, as he puffed away at a
generous cigar in a holder. 81 would
rather hear a burst of laughter in re-
Spouse to some joke of mine than be
king or president, or-anything else
you can think of that many people
would like to be. And, as a matter of
fact, it is quite an art to be able to
make people laugh. 1t is much easier
to make them cry. The human heart
is naturally sympathetic. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to shed tears
when one is shown a distressing spec
tacle. Everything is conductive to it.
The situation Is there, apparent, and
has been led up to by series of events
more or less pathetic. The tragedian
who is a good one rarely has difficulty
in bringing his audiences to the point
of tears. But with the comedian it is
different.
mo matter how good or clever the
lines of the comedy may be, the slight
est thing is apt to distract the atten-
ton of the audience and divert a
laugh. cough. a sneeze, anything,
breaks the slight. tense thread of the
situation and the comedian is left
Laundering stupidity.
But, though the work is harder,
I'd rather do it than anything else.
Truth was, l was intended for law

one, and he wanted me to be. Not

that, drifted on to the stage, though
and I'm glad of it.
