years here and bear the reputation
for honest, upright dealings that is
the surest indication of business sue
cess. The building that they will oc-
supy will be completely remodeled to
fit the particular needs of an up-to-
date shoe store, and on the opening

CHIVALRY ON THE BENCH.
Judge Cuts short Attempt to Be-
HmIrch wife's Character.

From the Philadelphia Pres
Truly a Daniel has come TO judgment
in a New York divorce court. Justice
Ford was perhaps more chivalrous than
judicial in the position he took in cut
ting short the attempt OF a husband TO
besmirch the character of his wife, who
was suing him for a legal separation
and maintenance. But his course will
win and deserves widespread approba-
tion. He lectured the husband on his
failure TO treat as a human being"
the woman he had married. and the
heartlessness Of airing in court the fall
inCs of a wife. whether or not there
was truth in the charges against her.
Such a stinglng rehuke was not without
its effect. The case was adjourned to
allow the ill-mated pair TO come to an
understanding, which was reached out
of court.
Justice Ford expressed his personal
feeling that a man should not defend
an action for divorce, no matter what
charges were preferred against him by
his wife. This is really the convention
which governs most actions of the kind
IN New York. where only one ground
for absolute divorce exists. Occasion
ally, however, case is contested and
goes to trial, with the result that
vast amount OF ugly scandal is opened
to the world. Legal procedure permits
IT. and Judges have not found effectual
means TO stop the degrading practice.
Justice Ford took a short cut which
might work in a single case, but can
hardly he availing in general. Attor-
neys in divorce cases might be held to
strict accountability to the court for in
Producing no more than the minimum
amount of proof, and restraining cross
examination so as not TO pursue tho
"piquant details" for the mere sake OF
showing the cross-examincr's clever
ness. wit, and humor. Even a wife who
Is not like Caesars woman is entitled to
treatment as a human being" Do
mestic relations courts as tried in Chi
Cago and elsewhere are doing much to
alleviate the humiliation of wives who
sue their husbands for support, and
they should be generally established
as juvenile courts are coming to be.

CYANIDE IN STREET CAR.
Milwaukee Man Leaves n Pound of
Poison on the Seat.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

| From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
! LOST-ONE POUND PACKAGE OF
cyanide of potassium; cost of same 55C f;
can destroy city of 5000 people. Finder
I will please throw said package into Mil
waukee River and relieve the feelings of
! a worried citizen.
This is no fairy tale.
A man purchased a pound of cyanide
Of potassium on Tuesday for the purpose
of case-hardening tools, and left the poi
son on a seat in a Farwell avenue car.
While the label on the package contains
the necessary skull and cross-bones. and
the word poison" nevertheless the man
is greatly worried.
The murder or suicide OF a young girl
in Boston, whose body was found in the
Y. W. c. A. building in that city a few
hours after the proposed marriage of her
supposed parson bridegroom to another
girl was announced, has put local drug
gists on their guard in selling this drug
1t is against the law of the State to sell
cyanide to minors or to those who wish
to commit crime. But IL you can convince
the druggist that you have no Interior
motive-which means design against your
own or some one else's life-you can get
all the cyanide of potassium that an ordi-
nary man would care to take, simply by.
asking.
The deadly drug is a crystal of yellow
ish color, and taste that chemists say is
never lauded by those whose palates It
has reached.

prived of promotion for which they had
worked during a lifetime of devoted
service.
Owing to the system of examinations
before promotion from grade to grade,
there is no excuse for inefficient or un-
worthy men reaching the grade of cap
tain. There is, therefore, no danger in
promoting senior officers to the next
highest rank. 1t may be desirable that
naval officers should reach command and
flag grades earlier in life, but this could
be accomplished better by system of
retirement according to age in grade
than by promotion through selection,
which is bound to create dissatisfaction
and do injustice to many officers of
worth and merit.

MOTHS GO HONEYMOONING.
Billions Of the Jnssidr Among the
Inhabitants of Kansas.
Frrm the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Forty billion or more jassidae went
on their honeymoon in Kansas last
night. Fifty billion will go flying for
the white lights tonight and as many
more tomorrow night and a few bill
lions Monday night. Then they will re-
turn to the leaves of the trees and bush
es and become domestiCated.
Topeka, Wichita Emporia, Lawrence
HoIton. Manhattan. and many other
Kansas towns reported veritable
plague of little green bugs about the
street lights last night.
They were the jassidae or leaf hoppers
on their honeymoon. When the leaf
hopper first takes wing he begins to
hunt a wife, and as soon as he finds a
lady hopper they are married and be-
gin a nuptial flight.
The moths and their wives swarm
around lights for three or four hours.
then the honeymoon IL ended, they hunt
a few days The egg will hatch about
the middle Of next June. and in Septem-
her there will he swarms again as soon
as the little worms develop wings.
In Council Grove the insects carpeted
the streets under the arc lights to
depth OF six and eight inches. Leaven-
worth reported the worst plague in
years. Sidewalks became slippery as the
countless tiny bodies were crushed under
foot. Lights were extinguished every
where they could be dispensed with.

IN THE GERMAN SCHOOLS.

Bathing Halls with Soap and
Towels One of Modern Features.
Frrn United States Consular Report
The new common schools In Bremen
are provided with bathing halls, where
the scholars may take weekly shower
baths. At present bathing Is not COM
pulsory, but is under the regulation OF
the school board. Objections OF par
ents are met with consideration. Soap.
brushes. and towels are supplied by
the school.
The state has provided continuation
schools, where Industrial apprentices
can further their education so as to
enter a school OF technology. Accord
ing to law, all male employees of in
dustrial concerns under eighteen years
of age Except assistants and appren-
tices in pharmacies and commercial es-
tablishments) are compelled TO attend
A bill has been brought before the
Bremen senate making attendance at
these schools compulsory for the as
sistants and apprentices in mercantile
concerns. The bill is expected to pass.
Another bill pending before tho
senate provides for instruction in Eng
lish in all the public schools, both pay
and free. in the city. 1t is urged that,
as Bremen is a seaport town, having
intimate commercial relations with
England and America, a knowledge OF
the English language would be OF
value to a great number OF people.

The Steel Trust Prosecution.

The announcement that the govern
ment has entered proceedings to secure
the dissolution of the United States
Steel Corporation, while it is an appar-
ent effort to redeem the pledges made
by President Taft in recent speeches,
will be received with varying sentiment.
Business men generally will regret that
it presages a long and tedious litiga-
ton. during which uncertainty as TO the
future of the corporation and its sub
sidiary companies will detract from the
value of their securities.
1t is no exaggeration to say that there
was a widespread feeling that the gov
ernmcnt would afford the trust an op-
portunity to comply with every require
ment of the law before undertaking a
prosecution. The report of the Bureau
of Corporations upon the investigation
Of the trust, made public some time ago,
emphasized two Objectionable features.
The first was the control of enormous
deposits Of ore. and the second was the
restraint OF competition through rates
charged upon the ore-carrying roads
controlled by the trust The officials of
the corporation have met these objec-
tons by Canceling the lease for the ore
lands and reducing freight rates, 1t
may be that this action was inspired by
fear Of prosecution, but most people will
agree that moral suasion is better than
prolonged litigation
The suit having been filed, however.
it is to be hoped that the government
will do everything in its power to ex-
pedite its final adjudication The steel
trust is tremendous organization, and
its product is intimately connected with
commercial development 1t should not,
of course, violate the law. but until the
decision IS rendered its guilt will not
be established; and in the meantime,
with its existence menaced, it cannot
be expected to experience a feeling Of
security The uncertainty which en-
ShrOuds it will permeatc business cir
cles 1t is most important, therefore,
that this period Of doubt shall be re-
duced to a minimum Whether the
trust is to be dissolved or whether it is
to be exonerated Of the charge OF i'll
legally restraining trade. the sooner the
fact is judcially determined the better
it will be for all concerned

TRADE AND TIGHT SKIRTS.
Muslin, Cambria, and Lace In
dustrIes Seek PettIcOat's Return.

From the London Telegraph
The return of the petticoat is clamored
for by the muslin. cambria, and lace IN
dustries. Tarare. near Lyons, which for
merly throve on the production Of the
first material. IS threatened with ruin If
women's skirts grow much narrower, If
that be possible, or even il they stay
where they are now. Tarare may as well
shut up shop. The only fashion that
Tarare favors is that of the voluminous
petticoat. The trade is therefore ap-
pealing to the redresser of all evilS-the
French government. NJ. Couyba, minis
ter of commerce. is called upon to re-
verse the DEGREES of fashion. How the
minister of commerce can force fashion
able women to wear as many petticoats
as the Dutch matrons OF old is not
known, but Tarare has faith In him, and
unless he succeeds Tarare is doomed.
Those who know, however, hold out
small hope of his succeeding.
Unfortunately for the trade in musllns,
lact. &c, its cause Is not that of the
dressmakers. The latter. as one Of them
his ingenuously pointed out, have no
objection to the present fashions 1t
takes about four times less material to
make a gown than a few years ago, but
prices do not dwindle.

Promotion by Selection.

Among the propositions that are to bc
laid before the next session of Congress
is one for the age-in-grade retirement
and the amalgamation of the line anc
staff in the navy Another. more. .radica'
still, is to permit the promotion of Off
GERS to be rear admirals by selection
instead of by seniority, as at present
This no doubt will be stubbornly con-
tested. The law at present permits the
promotion of officers by selection to the
grade Of general in the army. Some OF
the promotions made by that method
by Mr.. Roosevelt created great dissat-
isfaction.
The application of the system of pro-
motion by selection in the navy would
permit the higher grades in that serv-
ice to be subject to political influence.
Any one familiar with public affairs
knows that where the filling of any of
fce IS left to the discretion of the Ex-
eeutive, expediency and influence toe
often outweigh other considerations. II
the system of promotion by selection
were established in the navy, we might
soon have whole corps of political ad-
mirals. Many of the best officers in the
service would be passed over and de-

Not a State Function.

The great mass of religious people
will undoubtedly agree with the Uni
tarians now in session in this city when
the latter assert that religion should be
more widely taught There is no ques-
ton that the inculcation of religious
principles in the minds of the young
will tend to make better citizens.
No one, however, will seriously in
dorse the proposition that religious in
struction should be made a part OF the
curriculum of the public schools. In
this country, ever since the foundation
of the government, there has been main
tanned a distinct separation between the
church and state The men who
framed the Constitution saw in the be-
ginning that if this separation was not
complete the republic might easily be
wrecked. For more than a century both
the church and the nation, pursuing
parallel paths, have prospered. Any ef-
fort toward bringing them together has
been zealously opposed, and the wisdom
of such opposition has been more and
more apparent with the passing OF the
years.
If atheism is increasing. which is a
matter of serious doubt, the way to
check it is not by undermining the
foundation upon which this government
is built. The public schools cannot un-
dertake functions which belong exclu-
sivclv to the church.

End of the Baseball Contest.

The baseball championship series has
ended as predicted in The Washington
Herald The Athletics have shown that
they are again the best nine in the
United States, their victory being due to
their ability TO hit the ball. The resume
Of their work during the season, printed
before the championship series began.
showed that they were heavy hitters.
and they have kept up their reputation.
The pathetic feature of the games has
been the passing Of Christy Mathewson
He was a giant among pitchers Ap-
parcntly he was invincibIc He was
feared by everybody except the Ath-
letics They faced him without finch
ing, and his curves and inshoots and
drop balls were all alike to them. For
all that they cared, he might have been
the pitcher OF a backwOOd's nine Gal
lantly he stood in the box, fighting
against fate and went down to defeat
with colors flying. No more will his
name be used to conjurc with, for he
has lost his cunning. The grand old
man OF the pitchers box is now no
more than common clay.
The Athletics deserve their victory.
They earned it by good playing. Their
clean and skillful work has given a
prestige to the national game which oc-
currences for which they were not re-
spOnsible cannot dim.

Proper Treatment of Lynchers.

1t is worth while knowing that jury
in Newark. Ohio. in the case Of man
charged with being a principal in a
lynching, have brought in a verdict
finding the defendant guilty of murder
in the second degree The verdict car
ries with It a sentence of life imprison-
ment.
That jury deserves commendation If
other juries would deal in the same
manner with those who take human life
in disregard of the lay the number OF
lynchings would materially decrease and
a blot be removed from the otherwise
fair name OF the United States.
