Proof of the striking preponderance
of the foreign population in certain
sections of this city is furnished in a
report just made public by Walter
Laidlaw, secretary of the Federation
of Churches, which has recently been
making 4 systematic canvass of the
city to determine the number of
church going and nonchurch-going
persons living on the Island of Man
haitian. In 122 blocks visited, with
total population of 912,O42, he found
that 66.75 per cent were foreigners
and but S4.25 per cent Americans.

blocks, in which 1444 persons were

II is to laugh with the hope of
cutting short the gay career of the
merry benedict who stalks abroad on
the open highway as an unkissed son
of single blessedness, a new cult
known as the Cupid Wing club has
asked that a bill be enacted by the
legislature compelling all married
men to wear wedding rings as marks
of Identification. Married women wear
them, naively suggested the apostles
of the cult; why not the men? Too
many of the sterner sex they say are
masquerading about making promiscu-
Gus love to every woman they meet,
under the pretense or assumption of
their victims that they are single.
The proposition to tag these stray
black sheep and make them amen
able to regulation has awakened much
heated and some amusing discussion
about town as to the operation of
such law should it be enacted. Some
of the local wags have pointedly di-
Gotham jewelers. report twice as
many sales of wedding rings as there
are marriages here, indicating that
there is more truth than fiction in the
suspicion that half the women who
daily parade up and down Fifth
avenue and Broadway have never
passed through Hymens wicket Or
stepped down the aisle to the tune of
wedding march. According to these
iconolasts it is a case of tit for tat,
with the women fooling the men with
rings that they have no right to wear
and the men deceiving the ladies by
emitting the use Of rings that they
should wear.

For kissing four slanderous words
into her ear as they were entering
church together, Mrs. Naomi Dun
combe Ring, who is accredited with
having an estate worth a million or
more, must pay Miss Grace Raymond,
the pretty former secretary of her
husband, $4,000 damages, awarded her
by jury this week. On a previous
trial of the case another Jury gave
the plaintiff a verdict of $4,000 for
each hateful word-$8000 altogether
but the defendant managed to have it
set aside on an allegation that she
had since found letters supporting her
accusation against the secretary. Mrs.
Ring, who is 70 years old, startled her
friends in 1904 by marrying Ring, who
was at that time a professional strong
man. She made him manager of a
theater which, she had inherited from
her first husband. While he was en-
gagged in that capacity she became
convinced that he was taking toe

Anent the oft advocated project for
the production of grand opera in Eng
fish on the same pretentious scale that
it is given in French, Italian and
German, Alessandro Bonci, the famous
tenor, says this much cherished
dream of the American people can
never be realized until we develop on
this side of the Atlantic native singers
capable of singing the music.
TT is incredible to me-" he says,
that your ninety-o odd millions of peo-
pie should be without opera in the

Former Judge Ommen the other
evening suggested a panacea for the
many domestic ills that Cypress us,
by advocating more stringent mar
riage laws and less stringent divorce
laws.i Make marriage harder and
divorce easier, he said in talking to
the Society of Medical Jurisprudence,
and there will be less trouble for the
courts to adjudicate.
He would have a uniform divorce
law and in it he would incorporate a
half dozen causes for divorce, drum
kenness and criminality being among
them.

able and upright. Can the Age
prove that Mr.. Davis has been or
is guilty of any criminal otfense!
Does an indictment bar or deny
person of his citizenship! During
the entire career of Mr.. Davis In
the State of Georgia nothing has
been brought against him but the
ancient Indictment charging him
with an offense which has never
been tried. Suppose Attorney II.
Lincoln johnson did defend him,
does this disqualify Mr.. johnson
as a lawyer and a citizen!
Mr.. Davis was elected by the
subcommittee of Odd Fellows as
their chief justice of their court.
To disqualify him for such posi-
ton it must be shown that he Is
incompetent to fill that particular
office. What has an Indictment
for some other Offense got to dc
with it? The Bee has found It's
contemporary, the editor of the
Atlanta Independent, a man who
will always meet his obligations
1t is true that the Grand United
Order of Odd Fellows is full OF
politics and politicians, and the
most successful politicians have
been victorious over the weaker
and less crafty.
The attack of the Age on both
Mr.. Davis and his counsel has
been personal and unfair, and it
is not believed that the colOred
press of the country will be a
party to it.
Many an innocent man has not
only been indicted, but convicted.
How many innocent colored men
in the South today are serving
time in prison? How many in
nocent men have been charged
with Offenses of which they are
not guilty!
