court of appeals has rendered a deci-
sion, which if it sticks in the court
of last resort, will simply raise cain
in the select society circles Of that
state. 1t makes divorce, granted in
Nevada, or in any other state of tenn
porary residence, void. Just think
how this will mess things up for, no
telling how many, Maryland couples;
close to a hundred in Baltimore alone.
In the first place, it makes all those
who have remarked bigamists, but
that we can overlook, for their inten-
tons were good tho their execution
was poor. But now if they keep on
being remarked" they are liable to
get muchly talked about.
The thing to do, of course, is to
permanently forsake their Maryland,
chase out to Reno, where the six
months law is on again, and~do it
all over, start anew, be Renovated,
as it were. But supposing, just sup
posing, that some of them fell down
on their divorce stunts this time, or
that some of the re-divorced men and
the re-divorced women got crazy
about each other and didn't go back
home at all, or that-Great Scott! it's
too filled with dread possibilities to
talk about. Somebody ought to Os-

From Chicago, in answer to a hur-

force the men to return to work at
