New Mecca for Gotham Divorce Seekers
NSW YORK. Society t least that
portion of it seeking freedom from
calling marital bonds has ordained
that Reno. Nev is the projer tempo
rary abode ia which to obtain a di
vorce with the least possible amount
ot publicity.
Mismated New Yorkers are flocking
there dally and dispatches from tho
Nevada ctty say that if the influx from
an directions continues it will be nec
essary build more hotels, so great
is the demand for one-year leases oat
roods and houses.
Sioux Falls. S. IX. recently was de
prived ot the divorce industry by the
people of the state, who voted that
they had suffered enough from as
pleasant notoriety. For a few days
restless members ot the four hundred
were ia a quandary, but their legal ad
visers notified them that Nevada's
taws were the easiest ever framed.
Promptly Reno became the Mecca ot
those having soul-mates, affinities or
chronic cases of "incompatibility ot
temperament."
Mrs. Maturin L. Delafield, Jr for
merly the beautiful Lettice Lee Sands,
will probably carry off the palm for
the first decree obtained by a member
of the New York smart set. She has
been a resident of the mining state for
more than six months and on March
3 filed suit for absolute divorce. She
alleges desertion.
Mrs. Delafield'n most intimate friend
in Reno, the dispatches say, is Mrs.
Henry Spies Kip ot 207 West Fifty-
seventh street.' who also is seeking a
divorce. But she has not lived in
Nevada the required six months, and
she Isut there now, though the costli
est suite of rooms In the Riverside
hotel is allotted to her. She and a
companion, a Mrs. Hinds, are speed
ing to New York for a brief visit and
for a view of Fifth avenue and Broad
way before settling down to the seri
ous task of staying it oat in Nevada.
Others are preparing for trips to the
western state, it is said, and a good
sized colony is promised soon.
While unions are appropriating vary
ing sums for the support of the strik
ing hatters they should not overlook
another good bet demanding the la
bel in their hats. There are some
union members in Lnicoln who are
wearing hats innocent of the union
label. This is startling, hut it is
true. Put the kibosh on the non
union hat manufacturers by refusing
to buy any hat that does not hear the
union label, t ;
The Typothetae convention will he
held in Detroit. It is claimed that
500 delegates will be present. Union

This is the question that has caused
many a fair brow in New York's high
est society circles to ruffle with per
plexity during the past few days.

Yanderbilt is responsible for the whole

American society folks have mastered
all the rules of etiquette concerutng
the reception of royalty and now are
prepared to receive a king or a czar
or any other ruler with home-like off
hand ease. But when the imperial visi
tor comes incognito then the perplex
ity begins.
This is the trouble in the case of
Prince EiteL who is coming here just
as a plain duke or something of that
sort, so that he may visit the Vander
bilts. This is done to evade the na
tional honors which the country would
pay him should he come in his proper
person.
But, while society leaders are de
bating these fine points, Mrs. Vander
bilt and her sister, Mrs. Ogden Goelet.
have sailed for Europe. With them
went their father, Richard T. Wilson,
who has been in failing health for sev
eral years. The party is bound for
one ot the spas in southern Germany,
and will be at Baden during the stay
of the royal family at that resort.
There has been a strong bond of
friendship between the Vanderbilts
and the German kaiser for a number
of years, and it is said that the visit
of a scion of the house of Hohenzollern
is the- result of a promise made at the
Kiel regatta two years ago.

Here is a hot one from Judge Phel-

GOOD FOR GALESBURG.
Union Men Hustle and Elect Union
Musician as Mayor.
George Sanderson will be the next
mayor of Galesburg, Hls which means
that Galesburg win have a union
mayor, for Sanderson is a member of
the Musicians Union of that city.
He was elected by a landslide for the
workingmen of the city were aroused
by the opposition's sneering allusion
to Sanderson as a "mere workinz-
nian. I he workers campaigned in
sgnads. boosting Sanderson as "the
workingman's candidate," and he went
through with flying colors.
But it took hard work and the
united efforts of the unionists of the
city. And what Galesburg unions ac
complished can be accomplished by
the unionists of every other well or
ganized town if they will work to
gether on election day as well as they
march together on Labor Day. They
failed to do it in Peoria, and as
result Tom O'Connor, a member of
the Plumbers Union, was defeated for
re-election. Mayor O'Connor was
proud of his union card and never lost
an opportunity to mention his mem
bership. But he had too many "knock
ers" in the ranks of organized labor.
and as a result a non-union mayor will
soon preside over Whiskeyville.

years of its progress it has faithfully
championed the cause of organized la

form of injustice and oppression of
the toiling masses. Aspiring at all
times "light's earliest messages to
