of tho president was under discussion
during tho greater part of the session.

to 15. A bill appropriating $125,000 for a
marino hospital at Buffalo, N. Y., was
also passed. Tho senate adjourned un
til tho 24th...Trho houso passed Uio river

amendments were ndopted, not a single

thorlzlng tho construction of an agricul
tural department building on the site of
tho present biilldlng at a cost of $2,500,000.

caso from thu Third Kentucky district
occupied most of the attention of tho
houue. Mr. Irwin (Ky.) Introduced a bill
creating a frerdmen's Inquiry commis
sion to Investigate the condition of tho
negro race, tho race question, etc. Mr.

DIVORCED WOMEN IN GERMANY
liar Rlake Vne of TTieilr Former Ha-
batuliV Xttntei UhIh Objection
la Itaiacd.
In Germany it has until recently
been tho custom of divorced women
to wear or discard their former hus
bands' nnmes, ns Buitcd them best.
A new law on tho BUbjcct hus, how
ever, just gone into effect, says a
report. Under its provisions n di
vorced wife mny uso Jicr lato hus
band's name unlesB and until ho
makes u declaration, which costs
nothing to the effect that ho with
draws from her tho right to bear
it. Of course, this declaration can
bo mode only by ono whose own be
havior was irreprbachable. If thcro
were faults on both sides tho lady
can call herself by tho surrlamo sho
L possessed ever sinco her marriage.
A curious case has recently uccn
decided. A pretty young spouso wan
divorced from her husband becnuso
she had allowed herself to bo hyp
notized and while in that Btato mado
diverse grievous mistakes as to tho
identity pf certain people. Her for
mer lord when divorced forbade her
to sign or otherwise uso his namo
any longer, whereupon she reos
Bumcd her maiden namo and in
formed the registrar of her decision.
This official entered her as "Divorced
Lately she was about to lead' a
second husband to the altar, when
tho word "divorced" brolto tho spell
of love. Tho lady took an action
against the registrar, on tho ground
that in her maiden namo bIio had not
been divorced and that her profes
sion was not that of a divorced lady.
Tho supremo court has upheld tho
objection and the registrar has been
compelled to make a new entry.
"Will not that "be very mislead
ing?" it was asked. "It may be,"
was the reply, "if tho would-be hus
band fancies that we guarantee anything-
but the fact that her maiden
name is or was X. lie. must find
out tho other facts for himself. A
Prussian registrar is not a matri
monial ngent."

Sixteen inches of room would strike

an unfair advantage of the lean. Think

The police justice had formerly been a
bartender. He had gone into politics and
had been elected by a bit majority. This
was his first case. Mary McMunnis was up
beforo him for drunkenness. The justice
looked at her for a minute, and then paid,
aternly:
"Well, what are you here for?"
"If yer please, yer honor," said Mary,
"tho copper beyant pulled me in, sayin' I
was drunk. An I don't drink, your honor;
I don't drink."
"All right," said the justice his former
bartender habit getting the best of him
"all right; have a cigar." Beverages.
