WILL VOTE ON
 DIVORCE LAWS
Amendment Is Proposed for Nevada Voters During
 Fall Election.

RENO, New, August 19.-Nevada voters will have an opportunity at the polls next fall for the first time in the history of the state to amend the state divorce law which has been criticized by churchmen and others and which it is claimed made pos sible the quick divorce of Owen Moore and Mary Pickford, motion pie ture stars.
 The proposed amendment, spon- sored by Bishop George Hunting of the Episcopal church of Nevada, has been filed with the secretary of state and will appear on the November ballot. It provides that divorce seek ers may obtain an interlocutory de- gree after residing in Nevada for six months, but must wait another six months before obtaining the final decree.
 Another divorce bill passed by the last legislature, eliminating short term features of the present law, but maintaining in force the six-months residence section also will appear on the ballot.

ENGLISH ( t MORALS ] R
 ARE AT LOW EBB
British Minister Denounces Immortality as Existing
 in England.

LONDON. Aug. 19. = The Rev. John E. Wakcrly, the new president of the Weslyean Conference, de- aounced the immortality existing to- lay in English society both high and low, in his presidential address.
 On the same day that his utter ances were published here, there ap- peared a dispatch from New York in which the prevelance of vice and immortality in America was de- nounced by the National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
 American readers may be inter- ested in learning that according to pr. Wakerley, English morals are apparently quite as bad as American morals.
 Human life by many is held very cheaply,' was his indictment. There is scarce day when you do not open your paper upon some sordid story of the slaughter of some innocent.
 The standard of morals between the sexes in many places is very low The sacredness of the marriage rela' tionship is openly pooh-poohed; lust lramples truth, integrity. and do mestic happiness beneath it's feet.
 You have increased the number of your judges in the courts whicl deal with domestic tragedy because ef the number of people who have sought relief in that direction When you have done that, you hay' Cnly touched the fringe of the evil
 Your cities have no monopoly O vice Get rid of the impression tha because your villages are pic turesquely placed they are therefore homes of deep spirituality. Alas it is not so.
 You have frequently in what yo, think your fair village life low moral sense. which is indicated b. an unworthy estimate of woman hood
 We have been reminded in tn last few weeks that materialism | trebly bankrupt in philosophy. Il the natural sciences. and in prac tical life. and that the only alter natives are continuance of th present chaos till it ends in crash or return to a spiritual view O the universe"

chance. or graced the dealers side of a faro bank He lived in com fortable and luxuriantly furnished log cabin. the logs of which were painted alternately in red, white and blue and on either side of the high pitched roof was painted a mammoth shamrock and harp. But most prized of his possessions was the largest gold nugget chain ever made in Alaska. The oldtimers could always tell when dice and cards had not been faithful to Pat. for on such occasions the watch chain was given into the care of Money King Keeler in exchange for a roll and it was Pats boast that never did a roll acquired in that way fail to multiply. so he usually wore the chain. One of Pats ways of ex- pressing ultimate esteem for one was to have made a photograph Of the friend wearing this famous chain on his vest. After the death of Pat the chain was sold. and finally it became the property of the Nugget Shop in Juneau. where it was used for a window advertising purposes until it attracted tho attention and n:erest of Mrs. Doheny.
 Another souvenir which Mrs. Do heny esteems highly is a large Chil- kat blanket, of soft blue and crome coloring. made of long hair and of the finest Chilkat Native workman chin

Mrs. Doheny to be Booster For Alaska; Has Souvenirs

"T shall be a better booster for Alaska than many people I know said Mrs E. l.. Doheny before leav- ing the city.
 "I shall make it a point to tell people I meet that they must come up here and visit this wonderful country" she continued, "and that is more than lot of people I have known ever did. Nobody ever told me about the wonder and pleasures to be found here; l had to come and find them for myself"
 Like her distinguished husband, Mrs. Doheny is leaving the Terri tory an Alaska enthusiast. She is thoroughly in accord with the pur- pose of her husband to visit Alaska again and to see more of the Ter ritory.
 Mrs. Doheny has been a liberal purchaser of Alaskan souvenirs. Among the treasured possessions she is taking South with her is the his toric gold nugget chain that was made in pioneer days for the late Pat Renwick of Skagway, spec tacular character. who added to the ricturesqueness of the North in the Days of '9S."
