WILL PLACE CURB OIL DIVORCE EVIL Suits Filed on Failure to Provide and 111 Treatment Are Aimed At.

Deploring the divorce evil, Judge Henry C. Fox, of the Wayne circuit court Informed members of the Wayne county bar at the opening of the October term of court this morning that he intended to draw the line more closely In, passing on divorce cases than ever before, and especially In cases filed on the charge of failure ' to provide and cruel and inhuman treatment. Judge Fox declared that during the past month fourteen suits 1 for divorce were filed in the Wayne circuit court Judge Fox informed the members of i thebar present in the court room that ' the number of divorce cases was growing with astonishing rapidity, and (that in all suits filed hereafter he would exercise strict judgment on those charging failure to provide, or cruel and inhuman treatment. "If a man walks around his house land 'cusses' a little, a divorce can't be brought on the allegation of cruel land inhuman treatment," the court lat&ted, "and if he strikes his wife and ishe Uvea with him after that, which goes to show that a reconciliation has ibeen brought about, there is no cause ilor divorce." What It Applies to. 1 Speaking of suits brought, alleging I failure to provide the court said that Women cannot obtain a divorce on this ground unless there has been two years of separation. He said, however, that this would not be applied to cases 'torn fled, but to all cases lied after the opening of this term of court. Ex-Governor Baker, according to .Judge Fox, realized the importance of placing a atop to the growing divorce evil and he secured an amendment to the state law. adding the word "inhulum" to the term "cruel treatment," 'making It a much stronger term and ' 'more difficult to obtain a decree. In concluding his remarks Judge iPox declared that if the divorce evil ; continues to grow there will only be 'few married people in the county. ' Judge Fox declared today he was going to hear the criminal cases dock eted as soon as possible and if the attorneys did not get their cases called they could blame no one but themselThe court intends to hear all of ' the criminal cases now docketed, durlng this term.

Bailey Fraunberg, charged with aslaault and battery; Almeda Trueblood, 'Charged with practising medicine without a license; Earl Dubois, charged with burglary and William Jennings land Minzzy Anderson charged with .petit larceny. -. Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd -has several other criminal rases which he Is not ready at present to announce, -the defendants rut being apprehended. .Five state cx-iel caaeo will be tried, also. The civil docket will be read over tomorrow. Some of the important civil suits now before the court are Alber- .. tut Hawkins and wife, vs. City of Rich- ' mond, personal damages, $5,000, demanded by the former and $2,000 de- ,' manded by the latter; Arthur Jones vs. Msnford Wallingford, slander, $5,000; si John Manning, vs. Martin Cranor, petition for guardian; Ott E.

The Old Nightmare"

ALL DAIRY HERDS IN GOOD CONDITION Dairy Inspector Charles Flook, after examining about 425 cows in this county, now makes the statement that it is impossible to find a herd in this territory in which the cattle are below standard, and which does not furnish rich, healthy milk. Mr. Flook is making an investigation of the herds here to ascertain what per cent of butter fat is in the milk sold by local dairymen, and, altholugh he has not fully covered, the county, he believes that all the herds here are up to the standard, 3 25 per cent. A few individual cows have been found below normal, but their sisters in the herd will bring the average up.

The Restaurant Cook Catches Alive the Fish the Patron Selects. Entering a Japanese restaurant, a guest who wishes broiled eels and rice is led to a tank of squirming fresh water eels and bidden to point out the object of his preference, says a writer in the Delineator. The cook, who stands by, selects the wriggling victim of his choice, strikes its bead smartly upon a wooden block and. squatting by it, grasps the creature's neck, inserts a knife in the left side ot ibe vertebrae and dexterously runs it down to the tail, then, rapidly applying his instrument to the other side of the backbone, repeats the process, leaving the eel split open. Then, chopping the flattened eel into three inch lengths, the pieces are plunged into boiling water to make the skin tender, loug bamboo splints used as skewers are thrust through them, and they are then placed on rods over glowing charcoal and broiled brown, being plunged from time to time into a vessel that contains old soy of the color and consistency of molasses. These preparations concluded, the steaming eels again are drained and placed in red lacquer boxes with rice and set&efore tbe

NO HOG HIDDEN IN CLOSET, SHE SAID "We aint got no hog around- this here house," declared a woman at the home of William Jennings, who lives

near Boston, to State's Attorney Charles Ladd Saturday afternoon. "You can look in the closet if you want to," she added thoughtfully. "I don't care to look there I'll just look in the range," replied Ladd, detecting a familiar odor, presumably coming from the cook stove. Opening the door he saw a big piece of pork and immediately placed Jennings and Minizzy Anderson under arrest on the charge of petit larceny. BIERY TO LECTURE. C. G. Biery, of the Ohio State Board of Examiners, will deliver an address before the Wayne county teachers' institute, Saturday. He will take as his subject, "The Latent Power of the Teacher."

STORK GAVE MORE GIRLSJHAII BOYS And Quite a Number of Wee Strangers Arrived Here Last Month.

The report for the month of Septemi ber just issued by the health depart ment of this city shows that during the thirty days of the past month the female population of the city has in creased sixteen more than the male population. There were eighteen more births than deaths. Of the total of 44 births, 26 were girls, while only 16 were males. Seventeen males died during the month while only nine women and girls diet). This makes the total, 44 births, 26 deaths, or a difference of 18. This report is slightly better than in August, as then there were the same number of deaths, and two less births. Twelve cases of contagious and infectious diseases developed in September. These were as follows: Typhoid fever, 7; diphtheria 4; and scarlet fever 1. Local physicians assert that right now is about the worst time of the year for contracting colds and tonsilitis. The temperature at present is at such a point that to have fires going makes it too warm, and without fires it is too cold. This uncomfortable temperature, coming in the midst of the present damp spell, lowers a person's vitality so that he is easily susceptible to sickness. Richmond doctors warn especially against sitting around with wet feet, as this is apt to diminish one's power for resisting disease. BLACKSMITHS MEET. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 2.

RALLY EXERCISES ATTRACTED MAMY Attendance at Several Sunday Sctiools Large Despite Bad Weather.

Fall and winter activities in the Sunday schools of this city were officially set in motion yesterday morning when the annual rally day services were held in many of the local schools. Although the rain kept down the attendance figures a little, an unusually large number were present at all the Sunday schools, two having an attendancet of over three hundred. Most of the schools planned special programs for the occasion and the talks and music furnished by we!! known people, several of them from out of the city, were well appreciated. Although the contest for new members which has been the center of interest at the First M. E. Sunday school for the past six weeks, is over, and the side captained by James E. Perry has lost, their work is not completed for on the evening of Wednesday, October 18, the defeated team will have to entertain the entire school with a program and '"spread." Yesterday morning was the last day of the contest and the final result showed that in the short time 134 new members had been added to the roll of the school. P. Beckman's side secured 69 of this large number, Perry's 60. while the remaining 5 were enrolled in the primary department. The enrollment at this school now is 125, probably the largest in the city. The problem now confronting the officers is how to keep the 134 new pupils interested in the work, the men teaching have been invited to a luncheon Wednesday evening given by the superintendent D. D. Ramsay, at the Y. M. C.A. Two hundred and ninety-three were present at the rally day exercises in

the Methodist school yesterday morning. ' i ; The Christian church had the distinction of getting the largest attendance of any school holding rally services yesterday, as 364 people were present. The address by C. O. McNeill a Cincinnati man was the chief feature, of the occasion, and his talk was well received by the audience.

The First English Lutheran Sunday, school was the only other one to pass the three hundred mark, its attendance for the morning services being 323". Rev. E. G. Howard,, pastor of the church, presented several helpful points to the school, and the address by Prof. E. J. Albertson, of Plainfield Ind., was also much appreciated.

First Presbyterian church Sunday school had an attendance of 135. Miss Ella Winchester, the superintendent, gave a few word3 in which she likened the Sunday school work to the "Palladium" pushmobile contest, saying that in both cases each boy bad his own task to perform and that after he had secured his wish, he still' needed outside help, in the one case a boy to push, and in the general instance, the help of Christ. Rev. T. J. Graham, Rev. I. M. Hughes, and Miss Hill also spoke ' to the school. The South Eighth Street Friends had about one hundred out for their rally day services. Secretary Weed of the Y. M. C.
