DIVORCE FREQUENT IN RUSSIA.

Writing on the spread of divorce in
Europe, "a Veteran Diplomat" says in
the December Metropolitan Maya
zine:
Divorce in Russia was formerly
condemned by court and by society
alike. Moreover, it was extremely diff
ficult to accomplish, being granted
only on the grounds which would suf-
fee to secure a decree of nullity from
English and American tribunals, or
else for infidelity. But in the latter
case the legal conditions were exact
ing and the cost of suit so expensive
that demands for the dissolution of
marriage ties were few and far be-
tween. Now, however, the situation
has entirely changed. Divorces have
become frequent in Russian society,
and despite the objections Of the EN-
peror, and of his Hessian-born but
English-bred consort, the court has
had to open it's doors. Thus, the wife
of General Soukhomlinov, the Minis
ter of War, one of the most popular
figures at the Court of St. Petersburg
and in the great world on the banks
of the Neva. was first married to
NJ. de Butewitch, with whom her
union was legally and enthusiastically
severed in 1909. The Countess White,
wife of the former Premier who rep
resented Russia at the Peace Con-
ference at Portsmouth, ~ H., in 1905,
and who is still a Minister of State,
is also a Divorce and is received at
court. Moreover, there are number
of divorces in the Imperial family it.

LORDS SUPPER ADMINISTERED
TO HENRY c. sEATTlE.

Richmond. Va, Nov. 2S.-Henry
Clay Beattie. .Jr, the youthful wife
murdered yesterday received the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper. He pro-
fessed religion, and told his spiritual
adviser that he faced the unknown
with equanimity.
Although Beattie is subdued In de-
meanor. the wonderful nerve that
thus far has sustained the condemned
man has not deserted him. The sacra-
ment was administered in all the due
soIemnity of the death call at the state
penitentiary this afternoon. The pris-
oner's father was present.
Reports that Beattie's iron nerve
was broken have been disproved.
That Beattie is now resigned to his
fate was proven by remark he made
to the guard today:
LET us get 1t over with; the sooner
1t is ended the better" 1t is declared
he said.
