HE}NE brought suit for divorce

Mask and Wig Club of Quakerdom.
Mrs. Gilpin says that her husband
paid too many attentions to Nance

ago Miss Gwyn-or Mrs. Mccartney
was divorced by her husband. who
claimed that she was too fond of Mr..
Gilpin.
Mrs. Gilpin is. as one can see from
her pictures, very beautiful. She Is
witty, sprightly, and possessor, with
her two sisters, Mrs. Bobby" Straw

many years he conducted a small drug

health compelled him to retire from
that business a few months ago. For
the past seven years he has filled the
Office Of justice of the peace in this
township, being first appointed to fill
that position upon the death of his
father, who held the Office for about
thirty years He was the nominee on
the democratic ticket for the same
office at the coming election without
opposition, and also secured the nomi
nation on the republican ticket, the
republicans failing to put up anyone
for the office.
For the past few months the dread
malady made rapid strides to a fatal
termination, and for a week before
the end he was confined to his bed, and
it became apparent to all that the
closing scene was near.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, the remains being inferred

candidate. He is qualified IN every

Why Children Fail
To be Promoted

The Bureau of Municipal Research
in New York is trying to investigate
the failure of promotion in the public
schools of that city. 1t is said that no
less than 200, 600 pupils fail every year
to pass the examinations The work has
been placed in charge of Dorothy
Whitney, and she has communicated
with 500 cities TO know what they do
for the benefit of the pupil who is in
danger of failure to be promoted.
Miss Whitney says that no one has
tried to find out for how many Of the
failures the nefiicieney of the teacher
IS responsible. Supt Young Of
Chicago thinks that If there were q
better understanding between the
principals and the pupils, the per cen
tage of failure would not be from II
to 20 per cent.
