STOP MARRYING
DIVORCED COUPLES
Chicago Ministers Will Not Perform
Service For Those Who Refuse to
Allow Ten Days to Examine Rec
ords.
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, June 11.-Methodist preach
ers Of Chicago have agreed that here
after they will not marry divorced
persons who refuse to grant ten days
for the examination of their records.
These preachers believe that this pre-
caution will tend to lessen the number
of divorces.
This was decided on yesterday after
the Rev. Francis Minor Moody, of San
Francisco. field secretary of the Cali
fornia state commission of marriage
and divorce, had told the clergymen
that 100000 divorces have been grant
ed in the United States in the last
year, this being many times more than
granted In Europe. Divorces since 1870
have increased three and one half
times as rapidly as the population,
said Mr.. Moody.
''Vigo county Indiana, holds the di-
vorce record, having more separations
on it's books than Reno, New. Califor-
MIA is the worst state in the union,
he said.

FEW HOURS BEFORE HANGING
~ Associated Prsss.

Washington. Penna., June 11.-with
but a few hours to live, Jan Ribarik,
condemned to die on the gallows this
morning, tried to strangle his daugh
ter when she appeared at his cell to
bid him goodbye. Antonio Ribarik
was witness against her father and
her testimony was damaging to his
case. Ribarik had threatened to kill
her before he was hanged, but a week
ago apparently became reconciled to
her.
This morning she called to see her
father and as she stepped forward to
kiss him he grasped her by the throat
with both hands and was strangling
her when guards beat him unconscious
with an iron bar. Later he was led to
the gallows and hanged, without eX-
preston of regret for his crimes or his
assault upon his daughter.
Ribarik was executed for the muir
der Of Mr.. and Mrs. Novak and
Stephen Stanvoji. a boarder. during a
quarrel caused by the Novasks shelf
ering Antonio Ribarik when her father
turned her out of his home.

Three times l saw her. three times |
gazed upon her. each time being drawn
nearer to her before 1 knew her sor-
row.
I was riding on a railroad train to my
home in the suburbs of a great city
when looking up l saw a girl who faced
me gazing at me with a pair Of large
brown eyes. There was in her face
something like sadness. but not sad
ness, rather the appearance of one born
under different conditions from other
mortals-a resignation. yet a content
ment in resignation. l have tried by
these words to describe it, but am con-
scious of having failed.
Though her eyes were fixed upon me.
there was no boldness in them. Rather
she seemed unconscious Of meeting my
gaze. Perhaps, I thought, she is think
ing of something so absorbing that
though she is looking straight at me
she does not see me, or it may be
that she is looking at something be-
yond me. l have often returned a
salute from a person who meant it
for one behind me. So continued to
gaze at the girl and she at me till she
turned her face in another direction.
She was sitting by a lady double her
age, and the likeness between them IN
Dictated that they were mother and
daughter. Presently the train stopped
at a station. and the two left the car
together. l had noticed by the affec-
tionate chances the mother gave the
daughter that she idolized her. and
when they passed out it was hand in
hand.
I did not forget the face, and a year
later I saw it again. This time it
was in a church. She a as before,
accompanied by her mother. l was
sitting in a transept; the girl was fac
ing the pulpit. There was the same
look. indescribable in words. that had
impressed me twelve months ago.. Her
gaze was fixed on the clergyman,
though occasionally she would drop it
as though looking into her lap. There
was in me a vague feeling-something
like a hope-that when l had seen her

part of the time, looking at me, cogni-

before. After the benediction she and
her mother left the church in the same
n as they had left the train.
The third meeting. Having a law
case 1 was waiting in the courtroom
for it to be tried. A criminal ase was
called-that Of Evelyn Bryce. Who
should come into court to answer to
the charge Of forgery but the girl 1
had seen twice before. She came hand
and hand with her mother.
Naturally l was wrapped in the
trial. The prisoners attorney was evil
IDENTIFY trying to prove a conspiracy on
the part of certain persons against his
client. When he made a point in her
favor or her case appeared to be going
against her 1 looked to see what effect
it had upon her. I could see very
little. l was not sure that l could
see any. I noticed that the jury-in-
deed, all those in the courtroom-were
looking at her; that they seemed as
much impressed with that look Of
mingled resignation and content as l..
The defendants counsel exhibited the
document that the girl was accused of
been written on the line intended for
it without the raising or depression
Of a single letter and without incline
either up or down.
You see. gentlemen of the jury" he
| said. that whoever wrote hat name

II presume" interrupted the pros
ecuting attorney. that defendants
counsel proposes to prove that his
client has the defect he mentions. l
would call your honor's attention to the
fact that the prisoner has a very beau
tiful pair Of eyes. Indeed. l greatly
fear that she is using them upon the
jury with a view to securing her &C.
quittal."
The accused's counsel received in 81.
lence for a few moments this attempt
to prejudice the court and the jury
against his client. Then he said:
"The prosecuting attorney is mistak-
en-, your honor. l am not intending to
prove that my client has this especial
defect. I would for her sake that il
had pleased her Creator to give her this
defect instead Of the one with which
she is afflicted. Gentlemen Of the
jury. my client is unable to cast upon
you glances calculated to excite your
sympathy any more than she could
have seen to write her name exactly
on the line in that document. for she
is stone blind"
The effect produced on the court by
this announcement rendered any fur
ther process Of law unnecessary. The
jury without leaving their seats acquit
ted the accused, and I now knew why
when she and her mother left the
courtroom they went hand in hand.
This is but the beginning Of a story
in which have been long and am still
deeply interested.
