New York , Nov. 20. Bishop O. P. KltzKcrnld of the Methodist Episcopal church , south , al Nashville , Tenn. , has telegraphed hero the following opin ion concerning recent divorce agita tion : It Is generally accepted truism thai Iho sacredness of the marriage rela tion measures the civilization of any country. This Is true of all people everywhere without regard to race , color or previous condition. Judged by this standard , the outlook for our country Is not encouraging. The divorce evil Is Increasing. In the higher walks of life whore there Is most money and ought to bo most Intelligence- and superior virtue , the sin and shame of divorce have In creased alarmingly. The secrecy of the pioceedlngs Is a feature that tells Its own story. The hidden works of darkness are thus con fessed. The remedy Is with public opinion that will express Itself In wid er laws and a betler practice among our clergy and civil officers. Death of Mrs. Smith.

It ib staled lhat Doxey and his wife had been separaled for some lime and lhat she returned to him shortly after Erder's death In St. Louis. Neither Doxey nor his wife would talk for publication , but It was stated on behalf of Mrs. Doxey that Erder had signed over to her the amount of his Insurance policy because she nur sed him through his Illness.

" " " " OLD ANNE ROYALL She Was Once One of the Quaint Char * acters of Washington. Old. queer , uharp longued Anne Hoy- nil , traveler , cdim-sis and Intervlewei. was for many years a familiar figure In ( be streets of Washington , trotting indomitably about her buslines. ver.v poor , very persistent , often trouble tome , often rebuffed , but with quail- lies of honcst.s and courage to bo re spected. There Is gUen In the story of her life by Sarah Harvey Porter a delight ful glimpse of her visit to ex-Presldeni Madison and his wife. Thp contract between thegrnclmw mature beauty of charming Dolly Madison , elegant in her rustling black silk , and the funnj little limping , shabby figure In antl atmted skirts and ridiculous wadded bonnet , could scarcely have been en hunced. As usual , old Anne Koyall bad tramp ed to save carriage hire ; as usual , her errand , probably none too welcome to her hosts , was to secure nia Interview and use a descriptive background. But Dolly Madison saw In the absurd , In- qulsitlvc. bespattered person before her neither the reporter nor the guy- only ins aged and weary woman who was her guest. She hurried to bring her a glass of water , tbeu quite sim ply stooped and rolled her loosened Kboe laces and wiped the Virginia mud from the tired old feet. It Is small wonder that Mrs. Royall's clothes were quec-r. She was scarcely of a bent of mind frivolously to pursue the fashions hud she bad the time and money , but sbe had neither. Her pa per , the Huntress , of which she was owner , editor and chief reporter , once published conspicuously on Ihe edi torial page a notice which la perhaps unique In journalism : "No paper will be issued from this offlce tills week. We really musl lake one -week once In ten years to fix up our wardrobe , which Is gelling shabby. Our next issue will welcome congress. " The Intelligent Mul& , "Some people think mules haven't much intelligence , but 1 kmw they Lave , " was the way a commercial trav eler Interrupted a story teller. "Now , take the town I come from. While 1 was home on a visit last year the place was all wrought up over the systemat ic stealing of ( lowers from tlu > graves In our leading cemetery. The thing had been going on some time , and the people were shocked , of course. Final ly a guard was posted and the thief captured , and the thief was a mule. "It didn't take long to get at all the facts. 11 seems that a certain woman living near the cemetery bad held up the mule's owner , who was beating the animal , prosecuted him for cruelty , tlicn bought the mule and turned II out to pasture. The mule was so grate ful to the woman that every night It would Jump the pasture fence , go Into the cemetery , pick up the freshest bunch of ( lowers It could llnd , carry them to the woman's house and de posit tlHMii on the front stoop , when1 she would lind them In the morning. Now. when A on in'lk of Intelligence In animals" "Good night. " said ( he man whom the commercial traveler had Interrupt ed. New York Globe. The Top Hat. Tall hats , "pcarklu up like the spire of a steeple a quarter of a yard above the crowne. " as a sixteenth century writer describes them , were known In the time of Elizabeth , and the Purl- tans affected them until they merged Into the old fashioned beavers of out great-grandfalhcrs' days. Top hatu ol silk appealed first in Florence about 1800 , and twruty years later silk bats with felt bcdlcs were Introduced Into England. About 1S-10 the French silk hat was plated on the market and at once adopted in the familiar "chimney pot" shape. There were several vari eties of It. such as the Wellington hat , with the yeoman crown ; the Anglcsea hat. bell shaped at the top , and the D'Orsay hat. with ribbed silk binding and a big bow. The color also varied. Thuti tin- Karl of Harrington started a craze for given top hats by wearing one In his garden with the Idea of not frightening the birds. Ho also tested his Hllk liatH by standing upon them. The top hat. however , was never so favored by any great personage as to account for Its general adoption. Lon don Answers. Encouragement.

Some ot the common sayings con cerning birds are stupidly wrong , "You stupid goose ! " Is an expression constantly heard , yet the goose , wheth er wild or tame , is most sagacious. Wild geebe. for Instance , never feed without throwing out scouts or sen- irlus. J. G. Millnis describes how he saw a Hook of geese feeding with sen tries out and how after a time one of the sentries went up to a bird that was feeding and ga\e it a gentle peck on th'.1 back The latter thereupon left Its giuzlug and went oil' lo take up guard , while the sentry took Its turn to feed. "Gentle as a dove" Is such n com mon proverb that the dove baa become the emblem ot peace. ( . .Hille a mis take , for all the dove and pigeon tribe are gre-at lighters , and in the breeding Benson the COCK birds indulge in bat tles royal. The foolish prejudice against al > birds of prey includes that pretty llttlu hawk the kestrel.

The English man at once started on his favorite theme , declaring that the London newsboy was deuced clever and with out an equal for ready retort. Then as he called n newsboy , a lyrical New York lad , the Londoner said : "Now I'll show you the difference. Just see how this chap will Hunk.
