Cranx, Notary Public. a ‘The attention of the public, and the special attention of that part of it interested in reach- ing the other part with an announcement of any character, is directed tothe sworn state- ment of Tuz Sraaz’s circulation last week, printed above. The figures there given show a | circulation that can be matched in proportions by few papers in the country, and by none in the completeness with which the local field is covered, Purticularly is the splendid record of Saturday's issue pointed to with. justifiable pride. When a paper circulates 32,532 copies in a popuiation of a little over 200,000, its hold upon the community in which it is published and its value as an advertising medium are at once established, and in the most conclusive manner possible. And this, it must be remem- bered, was accomplished in the ordinary course, without any news of particular moment, to swell the demand, and in the normal population of the city. With the crowds of strangers that will be heré in the next few days, and with mat- ters of interest transpiring, not only here but in other parts of the world, the average circu- lation for this week will doubtless be much larger, and the value of au announcement in its columns will consequently be increased. Ad- vertisers should make note accordingly, and | take advantage of their opportunity. The wise | injunction, to “make hay while the sun shines,” is not limited in ite application to agricultural pursuits alone. That this is a land of broken promises is | shown by the forthcoming report of Commis- sioner Carroll D.

We've got all three grades, but our lowest grade is equal to most of the medium and highest qualities offered elsewhere. It has taken some experience, considerable outlay and ‘an unlimited amount of push and energy to sttain this highest pinnacle in clothing, bat unretiring, unre- Jentless effort will tell in the long run. In the first place we've not tied toany one particu- lar manufacture—We make clothing ourselves—as good as we know how—but when we discovers higher degree of merit in some one else’s—they immediately become one of our supply fountains—You've often heard us make the remark that the “world is our market"—that’s what we mean by it. Wherever in- creased merit exists you'll find us absorbing the pro- By direction of Congress he has had a thorough report prepared by years from 1967 to 1886 of all divorces granted in the United States, giv- ing the causes assigned and a comparison with similar divorce statistics in Europe. The resuit is appalling if the figures afford an accurate comparison. Commissioner Wright’s work has Deen more thorough than that of the European collector of ugly facts. For instance, the aggre- gete of absolute divorces, in 1886, in all Europe, with the exception of Spain, was 19,590, In the United States, in the same year, there were 25,595 divorces. The increase of divorce in this Iand of broken promises appears more forcibly in s comparison of the number of di- voroes to the number of married couples. In 1870 there occurred one divorce to every 664 couples; in 1890 there was one to every 479| couples. The same fact appears in a compari- son by decades. From 1877 to 1887 there were | 206,595 divorces as against 122.121 during the Preceding ten years—an increase of 69 per cent; or, to show what our laws and courts hare duct in your interests, In Men's clothing we handle and are the exclus- ive retailers here of Brokaw Bro.’s, of New York. Now, ‘if you don't happen to know for yourselves, we'll tell— they're acknowledged from ocean to ocean as manufac- turers of the highest types of masculine habiliments— Consequently if you want the finest suits or overcoats we'll show you them—for they are the dest. Take children’s clothing—there’s not a parent or guardian but does not know of the high quality and deserved reputation of Best & Co—If there's anything any bet- ter than their's made—we'd like to know it—We're their only representatives in this section. Another point: The “Star” shirt waist—acknowledged to be the most perfect fitting and altogether most reliable waist that's been offered the public—You can get the “Star” only of us—We've cited these few instances not espe- cially to announce these particular manufacturers— though the knowledge is of value to all people who want to be well dressed—but more particularly to Grifted to in a period of twenty years, there were 9.937 divorces in an estimated population of 36,000,000 im 1867, while in 1936 there were 25,535 in an estimated population of 55,000,000— en increase of 156 per cent. An examination of the causes of divorce reveals the fact that desertion by both parties is the chief pretext for legal separation, cruelty on part of hus- bands coming next,and aduitery on part of wives last. In the twenty years from 1867 to 1886 wives have received 75,119 divorces on ac- count of desertion and 51.438 decrees have been granted husbands whose wives have left them. There were in the same period 45,419 divorces on account of the cruelty of husbands to wives, while but 6,101 were al- lowed om account of the cruelty of wives to husbands. The <Jaltery of husbands has resulted, during the last two decades, in 38,156 divorces. The same cause on the part of married women has produced 29,480 divorces. The aggregate of legal separations from all causes tells ahard story against the | men. There were in the twenty years covered | by the report 216,077 divorces granted to wives and 112,639 to husbands. The only one-sided fact furnished by the report appears in the matter of divorces for non-support. In twenty years 7,948 separations were granted to wives for this cause, but not one appears where the husband has failed to be supported by the wife. The last week of Congress is a crush, a jam, in the desperate struggle of a thousand meas- ures for legislative existence. A multitude fighting and obstructing one another in the effort to pass through a narrow opening, soon to be closed, will picture the present condition of the two houses. Not only do the numerous Measures impede one another unintentionally im the crush, but many aspiring bills tumble into private pit-falle or over obstructive rules or fall victims to the partisan bludgeon in run- ning the political gauntlet which terminates their journey. On Saturday night the legisla- tive field will be strewn with the wounded and dead.
