Mr. Rockefeller's great gift of t32.000.fW to the cause of general education Is re corded as the greatest single gift which has ever been made by any one man for any one purpose. As such it becomes worthy of imperishable record, so that the plutocrats of the future, if not of the present, may see what they must do to establish a new record. It may even be an encouragement to Andrew Carnegie to per sist In his noble endeavor not to die rich. While Mr. Carnegie does not appear on the records as having bestowed any such mu nificent single sum, yet his total rather overtops Mr. Rockefeller's, For Instance, we see by recent tables that Mr. Carnegie has given away the following sums: Oifts prior to 1902 f Jl.WS.ieS Pittsburg Polytechnic Institute 30,im,hO Endowment rkotch universities.... 15,Cu),uii0 United States National univer sities 10,700,000 Carnegie foundation pensions for educators lO.flfiO.'iOO Branch libraries.

The pace he has set la a hot one, though. Buffalo Express. Heeoarnlsed Real Pnlner. Here la an anecdote about Mr. Cassatt hitherto unpublished. He was walking out to his home In Rlttenhouse square with one of the dlrectora "That's a very fine place you have there, Mr. Cassatt," said the director, survey rig the mansion of the president. "Yes," replied Mr. Cassatt, with doubtful appreciation, "but I would rather live in the country." "Then why don't you?" Mr. Cassatt looked at bis friend very so berly and asked: "Aren't you married?"

THINK IT WILL STAND LEGAL TEST Laxity of Kebraska Divorce Laws Pro volte Abnaa and Judges Arm En deavoring; to Coaster, act This Evil. If coming events cast shadows befota, the finger of fate seems to point to a Cur. tailing of the privileges of the easily mar ried and easily divorced couples In Ne braska, The Judges of the district court are banding down decrees of divorce with sparing hand and are attaching to more and more of them the provision that neither party shall remarry within a period of six months unless they .marry each other. Judge Kennedy has placed this provision in several decrees. Saturday Judge Hedlck handed down a decree containing the pro vision. It was given to Sadie E. Bolton and against Arnold W. Bolton, whom she charged with cruelty. There la some doubt as to the legality of this provision if It should be resisted by either party. It la generally regarded aa perfectly binding, however, because it Is the right of either party to appeal the case within a period of six months. If one of the parties were to marry within that period and the other party ahould appeal to the supreme court and have the decree set aside, then the party who had remar ried would find himself guilty of bigamy. So, at best. It Is a risky thing to remarry before the expiration of six months. Judge Button gave a provlsloual decree last week. He disposed of the children, but Informed the parties that he would sign their decree at the end of six months. This brings about the desired result In an other manner, which la technically sounder before the law. The Judges In the district court are all of the firm opinion that the lax divorce laws are the cause of much abuse of the privilege of divorce and propose to do all they can with their powers to combat toe evil until the legislature shall amend the laws In this respect.
