DECLINED WITH THANKS.

A singular idea has got abroad in
Europe that the United States has
bought the Galapagos islands from
Ecuador. Nearly every geographical
periodical on the continent has made
this assertion the text for articles on
those islands with the further fact
that we parted with 37,000,000 valuable
dollars for that collection of volcanic
rocks and moderate population of
the biggest turtles known in the world,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Euro
pean geographers congratulate US on
the acquisition of new and valuable
possession and volunteer the further
fact that we will rechristen them Co.
lumbus Archipelago. While sorry to
disappOint our European friends, we
must firmly decline to be drawn by
their approval into the acquisition of
any more such high-priced real estate.
These islands lie on the equator about
as far from the South American coast
as the Hawaiian islands from our Pa
cific coast. AS already stated, their
principal characteristics are extinct
volcanoes and gigantic turtles. For
a turtle cannery they might be bar
gain at $4,000 But the United States
does not want them at any price.

By questioning closely two women
who sought divorces on the ground Of
desertion Judge Richard E. Burke dis
covered that in one case the husband
and wife had agreed to separate, while
in the other case the husband had
asked his wife to sue for divorce and
had offered to pay part of the cost.
Very properly the judge refused de-
crees to both applicants. The law
does not recognize an agreement or
a mutual desire to separate as proper
grounds for a divorce, says the Chi
Cage Record-Herald. Society does not
sanction marriages that are dissolva-
BILE because man and woman are
tired of each other. Judge Burke's &C
ton, however, raises the question OF
how many divorces have been OBJ
tanned for no other reason, the collu-
sion not being revealed. There are
Judges who are very careful about
granting divorces. There are others
who enter DEGREES as quickly as they
would give judgment on an unpaid
note. when no defense is made.

According to a Turkish diplomat

According to a Turkish diplomat
now in this country, the Turkish
women no longer keep their faces
covered in pubic. They go about as
they please, and make goo-goo eyes
and firt just as women do elsewhere.
This is a great reform which is said
to be pleasing to both sexes, but it is
not likely to create a rush to Turkey
for a beauty exhibition. The most
beautiful women in the world are not
to be found in Turkey-not in ex-
travagant numbers. Now that they
can show themselves, however, it may
be expected they will take more pains
to enhance their charms.

New York aldermen are trying to
pass a resolution to prohibit women
from smoking in public places as in

aimed at is neither pretty nor ele-

public morals, the proposed ordinance
is distinctly, though unconsciously, hui
morous.

Jackson. Miss, Sept. 12.-The re-

Der Company of more than a million
dollars worth of timber lands in Mar

A deal that means more for the,
development of Hattiesburg than any
other one thing in sight for the next
several years, was closed at noon TO-
day when the management of The
Hattiesburg Traction Co. passed to
Henry L. Doherty & Co. of New YORK.
The results of this deal will be so
far-reaching and will tend so greatly
to the development of this city ana
it's surrounding territory that hrst
glance fails to reveal all the good
things that are coming. 1t means hrst
of all that more than $250,000 will be
spent in Hattiesburg within the next
three years in developing the traction
lines. the electric service and the gas
service. It means that Hattiesburg
will be the best served city of its size
in respect to it's transportation faclll-
ties and lighting facilities. 1t means
that the car lines will be extended SO
as to reach practically every part oil
the city. That a man can eventually
get on car at the new Woman's Col
lege and ride to the Normal College
or perhaps to Rawls Springs, and tha
in the course of few years we may
see an interurban connecting Hatties
