WEEDS Divorces as Duty.

New York, Feb 1O.-'I am horri-
fled AT The impurity OF the city, but
have found that il we ministers refuse
TO marry persons who were innocent
parties III divorce actions, those persons
will resort to the commonlaw.
Thus tho Rev. Dr.. Duncan ]. Nc
MILAN, pastor OF the New York Pres
bytcrian Church, at Seventh avenue
and 13Sth street, defended his action
in marrying Mrs. Mary Guiffre, OF 80
west l12th street, and Nelson Gam
mons. Of Isl Joralcmon street, Brook
Ign.
The bride is 1 young woman whose
marriage to Rufus GaNnor, sou OF
Mayor Gaynor, was recently annuIIcd.
She had divorced her husband, but
married young Gaynor before the de-
cree went into effect.
In my early days in the ministry,
said DR.. Mcmillan, / refused 10
marry divorced persons, whether they
we're the innocent or guilty parties in
the divorce. But have since changed
my views.
You see, I have learned more about
human nature, and | have found that
when persons are legally divorced and
arc given legal right to rewcd, If we
ministers refuse to marry them, they
will, in pure faith between themselves,
resort To the common law.

The Plague in Namchuria.

Rome, Feb. 10.-Plaguc conditions
in Manchuria are more terrible than
any OF The published reports have yet
indicated, according to information
which the Vatican received today from
its Mauchurian vicar.
Large infected districts have been
completely abandoned 10 their fate. the
vicar says. There are sections where
there is scarcely house that is not q
chamber OF death. In scores OF cases
whole families have been wiped out.
Even. the burning OF great piles OF bodies
has not suificcd to dispose Of the corDses
aud in places they lie III the streets, a
grave source OF Infection"
The diseasc is being spread by dogs,
cats and rats The Russian precautions
are almost worthless and there seems
to be no chance to stamp out the dis
ease without the intervention OF other
powers.
Dispatches today from European
capitals indicate that the powers will
soon begin concerted action to suppress
the plague.

ony school Wednesday, and slept for

lice Headquarters last evening that she

That the trusts are badly frightened
and on the run, was the declaration OF
Department Of Justice officials today.
following the refusal OF the independent
telephone companies to form 4 conf
bination with the Bell Morgan interests
in Chicago yesterday. The organiza-
ton OF Il gigantic telephone trust was
probably avertcd, it was declared, by
the knowledge OF the phone magnates
that special agents Of the department
were on the watch, ready to meet any
move the legality OF which they qucs-
toned, with 4 court injunction. The
millionaires who once seemed to possess
an Unsuitable Denchant for forming
combinations in restraint Of trade have
evidently come to realization oil the
possible legal consequences. said one
official. The activities OF the govern
ment against trusts already in existence
have made the organization of any new
combinations extremely improbable.
The trust men are frightened.
Progressive republicans OF radical
tendencies here arc up in arms at what
they declare is a plot on the part OF the
postoffice committee Of the Senate to
legis late the 'muckrakcrs' out OF

will contain Il provision amending the
second-claSs rate so rs TO make the
charge for the advertising pages OF the
magazines four cents a pound, the read
ing pages to be carried at the old rate
Of cent pound. Only publications
OF purely literary or scientific
character" will be exempted. 1t is
asserted here by radicals that this is a
scheme to reach the "upliii" periodi-
Gals. If The Senate adopts the pro.
vision, and it is accepted by the House
confcrces, fight will center on the
floor OF the House.
The House committee on militia
today voted to report to the House
