A romantic engagement of Miss Jennie
Hlrschberg of Syracuse , N. Y. , and Rabbi
Samuel H. Hlrschberg , formerly of Cincin
nati , but now of Boston , was announced
recently. Although bearing the same name
the two are not related. Rabbi Hlrschbprg
was born In Cincinnati thirty years ago and
his little playmate was his present fiancee.
Hlrschberg graduated from the Public schojU
In his native city and went through the
theological seminary there. He was called
to Boston , where he now lives. He met
Miss Hinschbere here and the love of former
days was renewed , with the result that their
engagement was announced.
Divorce by Justice of the Peace A
ruial justice of the peace who formerly
held court In the suburbs of Atlanta. Ga. ,
was an Irishman who held exalted \lews
of the Indlssolublllty of a religious marriage ,
but believed that a marriage celebrated by a
justice of the peace was only a civil con
tract and could be dissolved bv the authority
of the same magistrate. For Ignorant ne
groes who sometimes applied to him for
divorces he was accustomed to pass an or
der something like this "Whereas , this
court , on the day of , IS" , united
In marriage William Jones nnd Mary Brown ,
persons of color ( the same being purely a
civil contract and not a religious sacrament ) ,
and said William and Mary have this day
appeared before me and agreed In open
court to rescind said civil contract , and have
paid the costs of court ; therefore. It Is adJudged -
Judged that said William Jones and Mary
Brown are divorced from each other , and
the bonds of matrimony hertofore existing
between them ( the same being purely a
civil contract ) are hereby dissolved nnd the
said William and Mary have leave to get
married again. " His peculiar Ideas of his
Jurisdiction and prerogatives resulted finally
In bis conviction for malpractice In office.
His mistake was In falling to realize that his
philosophical Ideas , like many constitutional
provisions , were not self-executing , but
needed to bo embodied In legislation before
they could be given effect.

LABOR UNION RECOGNIZED

lriitloii MukcN a
W. C Turner , lepresentatlve of the Cen
tral Labor union , has made the following
icpurt to that body on the condition of labor
Intelests at the exposition :
"H Is with pleasure 1 report that , after
a full ln\obligation of the labor situation ,
I find that the Interests of organised labor
have- received full iccognltlon at the hands
of the management nnd ( lie iclattonB be
tween employers and emplojed are ot the
must harmonious character. Not only Is
union labor empi'oyed In e\ery department ,
but union-made goods are well represented
In the commodities for sale on the grounds.
This Is something we can congratulate our-
felves upon , as at the exposition last year
union-made goods did not receive the prom
inence nnd patronage they were entitled to.
As jour representative on the Board ot
Directors I am pleased to eay that I hava
been treated with the utmost courtesy and
every proposition emanating from organized
labor has received due consideration at the
hands ot the management. I believe that
the Greater America Exposition will far ex
cel In attractiveness the TransmlBslmlppl
Exposition , seeing that every effort Is be
ing made to have our new possessions rep
resented by their people and products , much
of which have already arrived. These trop
ical exhibits of people and the commodities *
they produce will possess a great Interest
for us educationally , und they will repay
the time spent by our people In the study
of them. The beauty of the grounds has
been much enhanced since last year by the
landscape artist , making the whole a vert-
table fairyland. The price of admission baa
been placed within the reach of all and re
freshments aie sold oil the grounds nt rea
sonable rates. Taken as a whole , organ
ized labor has every reason to be satisfied
with the management of the Greater Amer
ica Exposition and the citizens of Omaha
good grounds for being proud of It. "
