New Cure for Family Jars.

Miss Rose McQuade, the probation
officer OF the domestic relations court,
says that most OF the unhappiness Of
married life in the city is due to the
wear and tear upon the nervous sys-
tens of the women folks caused by
their environment. She has been
listening to family troubles since this
court was established and is an ex-
pert on domestic jars and in straight
ening out the tangled marital difficult
ties. "The average wife, kept within
few rooms, minding children, doing
homework, stretching one dollar to
cover two dollars worth Of household
wants, nothing but brick or stone or
asphalt to meet her eye-is 1t any
wonder that her nervous system
breaks DOWN." explained the proba-
ton officer. when her husband
comes home from work tired and irri
table, there is a spat, series Of quar-:
rels that make the home disagreeable,
and he goes to tie saloon with his
earnings or skips out altogether" Miss
McQuade believes that II there was
an organization for taking tired wives
out into the country from this nerve
racking routine for day or two at a
time during the summer 1t would have
a wonderful effect in promoting do
nestle felicity in the human beehives
of the city.

Bridge espIanade as Play Ground.


An elevated city playground is the
latest endeavor OF Father Knicker-
booker to provide breathing spots for
his children. in which they may play
regardless OF traffic. In one OF the
city's most congested districts, at the
terminal Of the williamsburg bridge.
the esplanade has been enlarged and
turned into a recreation center. 1t
has the advantage OF being close to
the river and high enough to get
plenty of light and air. The space has
been greatly increased by the bridge
engineers, and a shelter will be erect
ed. band concerts given. and II is pos
sible. that in the evenings. after the
Riddles have finished their play. the
space will be given over to dancing.
There are approximately $4,000 peo-
pie in the neighborhood, who are con-
fined to only twelve acres of park
space provided by the city in that sec
ton. The combined population of Al
bany and Syracuse could be trans
ferred to the section Immediately sur
rounding the Manhattan terminal ct
the Williamsburg bridge and the con-
gestion now existing would not be
greater.

MARTIAL LAW AT VERA CRUZ
Martial law was proclaimed last Sunday by
Rear-Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz. He
had tried to get the local authorities to do
their duty and assist the American to re-
store order, but the Mexicans would do
nothing, hence Rear-Admiral Fletcher de-
termined that there should be no more quib-
bling regarding the form of government,
and he proclaimed martial law.
The order went forth that all persons, ex-
cepting the military and naval forces, should
be disarmed, and bushels of small weapons
and stacks of rifles of all description were
brought to light; and, since strong hand
to rule was outstretched, good order has
been established.

SANCTIFIED SEA FISHERY
"Sea of GGhlee" Saydiues Soon to Be IN
the Markets of the World.


It will soon be possible to buy sardines
from the Sea of Galilee. A Company has
been formed to establish plant for the
capture and canning of the succulent little
fishes at the village of Tiberias.
The "Sea of Galilee,' or Gennesaret, or
Chinnereth, or Tiberias, is fresh water
lake, thirteen miles long and eight miles in
breadth at its widest part. Tiberias, which
is now place of 5000 inhabitants, most
of whom are very poor, was an important
city in the time of Christ, but it was then
regarded as unclean by the Jews, because
it was built over ancient tonbs. One Of
the interesting places on the lake is Mag
dala, which gives its name to Mary Mag
dalen. The miracle of the fishes was per-
formed on this lake, but it is believed that
Jesus never entered the City of Tiberias
because of its unholy associations. In Ca
pernaum, however, which is quite near, He
dwelt after he left Nazareth, and there He
began His preaching; it was called Ellis
own CITY," Capernaum is gone now, and
the place where it stood is known only as
"the little hollow" while wicked Tiberias
still stands.

Porfrio Diaz, former president of Mexico,

to General Rafael Reyes concerning the
latter's recent offer to compose the Mexi-
can difficulty. General Diaz says:
Il have received copy of your dispatch

Huerta, Venustiano Carranza and Francisco
Villa. | am profoundly touched by the
generous impulse of your noble heart in
favor of the cause of Mexico, and I am
grateful for your fattering, although I'M
merited, appreciation of me personally I

TOOK ENGINES-The Mexican Fed
erals were shrewd enough to get nearly all
the railway engines out of the way before
the Americans landed at Vera Cruz. Al
though about 200 cars remained, they were
useless until motive power could be pro-
vided. One old engine has been repaired
SO as to be serviceable, and others are being
sought for use in case the order should
come to press on inland.

MINING SITUATION IN COLO
RADO.-With the Federal soldiers in
charge at Trinidad and Canon City, the
State militia has been withdrawn, and the
strikers are bringing in their arms. Mar
tial law, probably, will not be established,
the military forces being used as police
force to restore order.
The mine operators have positively de-
clined to negotiate with the officers of the
United Mine Workers Of America, who, it
is charged, are directly responsible for the
reign of terror.
The mine operators employ more than
10000 men who are contented with their
work; but they are interfered with by the
officers of the United Mine Workers and
about 1,5OO strikers, hence the trouble.
