MENACE OF BARBARISM. The education of the less advanced races under influences proceeding from Western na- tions is important in that it enlarges the area of popular progress and contributes to the preservation of the higher forms of ciyilization. 1t is almost inevitable that we should believe in the permanence of our institutions.

Judge Hyland sald the proceedings were rather mysterious. “Here is a man,” sald he, “who is being sued for divorce by his wife and asking to have her de- clared mentally incompetent coming into court and claiming power of attorney and asking that the actions commenced by | her be aismissed.” | He then ordered that a citation be is- { sued Yor Mrs. Hutton to appear in court.

GOURT DECISION UPHOLDS SHAW Internal Revenue Re- ceipts Are Being Segregated. B R el In Case of Money Contingency He Will Place Them in the Banks. S s WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—The published statement that Secretary Shaw had de- cided that under existing laws he -was authorized to segregate Government re- ceipts from internal revenue sources and deposit the same at his discretion in national bank depositories does not raise a new question, although such deposits as have been made heretofore had not been previously covered into the treasury. As early as 1878, the courts of the United | States held in effect that the national de- positories are part of the treasury of the United States, so far as their authority to hold public deposits is concerned The secretary, so far as can be learned. has not determined the deposit of any further funds with the national banks, but has decided it is well within his pro- vince to make such deposits and with a view to meeting any possible money con- tingency hereafter he has segregated the internal revenue receipts from ather re- celpts and has opened a separate account in the treasury ledgers, so that in case of need he may know just what amounts are available for this purpose. —_——— ANDERSON TO GIVE READINGS IN AMERICA Accepts Offer Made by Ropert Grau, Though Details Are Not Yet Arranged.
