THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1907.
CATERING TO FOOLISH AMERI
CANS.
That American money is aristocra
tic to a degree and highly desirable
is the unanimous opinion in London,
and there is no scruple against taint
ed money, writes Harriet Quim’oy in
Leslies Weekly. The London shops
are displaying the sign, ' Americans
are cordialiy invited to enter and in
spect our stock.” There is nothing
to indicate that the Germans and the
Frenchmen are also cordially invited,
nor are the prices of goods displayed
in marks and francs, as they are in
dollar sign of Uncle Sam. East year
it was almost impossible to procure
an ice of any kind outside of the fash
ionable hotels or cases, but this year
all the little shops and unpretentious
eating places, as well as all the large
places, display the sign. "American
Ices." These ices are e delusion
and a snare, however, to the patron
who knows a really good ice. and it
is only in one or two places in all
London that anything is offered in
: the way of frozen refreshments that
can compare with the same article in
New York. Ice cream soda is adver
tised. but it is not ice cream soda as
Americans know in
Another amusing effect of the Am
erican invasion of London, and one
which admiral ly sets forth the pre
vailing idea—and net wttheut reason
—of American see: a? am'ration and
snoberacy. is to be Luna in the want
columns of the daily papers. Taken
at random and from the leading pa
pers of London, the following are
quoted:
Lady of nobie birth would spend
part of afternoon in promenading
with Americans.
Lady and daughter of noble birth
would travel with Americans—one of
them only to receive remuneration.
Lady of noble family would arrange
for social introduction of Americans.
Secrecy observed.
Just why any free-born and sensi
ble-minded American would pay a
lady of noble birth to promenade with
her during the afternoon is not ex
plained. but it is to be presumed that
some of these advertisements are
answered, or they would not appear
so continuously and in varied terms.
TO GRAPPLE WITH TEE DIYORPE
PROBLEM.
triennial c : :
the American Episcopal church, now
in session a: Richmond, one of the
most interesting debates will be that
on the divorce question.
This is a discussion that will be of
interest to the general public, while
the majority of the questions under
consideration will naturally be more
particularly interesting to the mem
bers of the Episcopal church alone.
Regardless of their denominational
affiliations. Christians generally will
hope that the great Episcopal church,
with its tremendous social influence
in this country, will take an advan
ced position on the divorce ques
tion. The divorce evil is spreading
with frightful rapidity throughout the
land, and the time is not far distant
when every Christian denomination
must set its face sternly against and
condemn it without measure, and to
the full extent of its power and in
fluence war against its continuance.
Once the various Christian bodies
of the country unite in a demand for
a general divorce law that will limit
the causes for total separation, and
at the same time prohibit their clergy
from remarrying divorced persons, a
great step forward will have been
taken. Much of the laxity as to the
observance of the marital vows that
prevails, and of the indifference with
which divorce is regarded, must un
fortunately be laid at the door of the
ministry.
The frequent appeals to courts for
a judicial separation at the present
time have brought the divorce ques
tion strikingly to the fore, and re
cently the Canadian church adopted a
canon prohibiting ministers within
the jurisdiction of the Church of
England in Canada, from solemniz
a marriage “between persons
id. r of whom shall have been di
vorced from one who is living at the
time." This action has turned public
attention in the United States to the
position that the Episcopal church
will assume on the subject.
At the recent session of the ‘‘Con
gress on Uniform Divorce Laws,” held
in the city of Washington. Governor
Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania, stated
that there were nearly 70,000 divorces
granted in the United States in 1905
and that the proportion of divorces
to marriage was increasing with ‘‘al
arming force.”
It was this state of affairs that in
cited an atempt, at the last Episco
pal convention, to put a summary
stop to these marriages by the intro
duction of a canon similar in tenor
adopted by Canadian church
l‘and a stormy session on this ques
tion is anticipated at the Richmond
gathering.
Georgia was the first prohibition
spot in America. In its earliest colo
nial days liquors were prohibited. But
how the forefathers did kick.
STRAW HAT IS CAUSE
CF RICT IN GOTHAM
NEW YORK. October 3.—Hatless
and breathless James Howard Evans
of Atlanta. Ga.. rushed into the West
Thirteenth street jolice station last
night, fell, exhausted on the railing
in front of Lieut. Geary’s desk.
Evans said he had been mobbed at
Broadway and Thirty-third street.
the :t serves and 20
policemen appeared.
Who mobbed you?” asked the
lieutenant.
T don't know who they were. 1
had all I could do keeping my face
from being crushed.”
What caused all the trouble?"
asked Sergeant Henderson.
"Because 1 had on a straw hat,” the
man replied, indignantly.
At this the police joined in a
hearty laugh.
”1 am unable to see anything fun
ny.” Evans exclaimed. "Down where
I came from murders have occur
red so r less of an insult than I have
experienced tonight. I will get an
other straw hat tomorrow.”
Poiiceman Stinner escorted Mr.
Evans to Broadway and Thirty-third
street and found no howling mob,
cut a dilapidated straw hat.
NEW STAMP IS SOON
TO COME IN USE
Americus people who have foreign
correspondence are interested in the
fact that the international postage
stamp which was adopted at the Rome
Postal Congress last year will come
into use on October 19. It is an ar
tistic picture of a goddess, with a
background of olive branches, was
designed by Gasset and has been
printed in Switzerland. Its value is
five cents, and it wil be sold in every
country in the postal union, so that
a corespondent may prepay a reply
from any of these countries.
BURGLAR IS BEATEN
WITH CURTAIN POLE
ATLANTA. October 3. — (Special.)—
Mrs. M. A. Scott, is the heroine of the
day here, having whipped a burglar,
single handed, and put him to flight.
When Mrs. Scott saw the burglar, a
white man, in her residence on White
hall street last night she seized a
curtain pol? and, despite her years,
being nearly seventy, she beat him
until he fled the house. With one
blow from the curtain pole upon the
head Mrs. Scott knocked the thief
down a fight of stairs, when he es
caped to the street.

His Dear Old Mother.
‘My dear old mother, who is now
eighty three years old, thrives on El
ectric Bitters,” writes W. B. Brun
son, of Dublin. Ga. "She has taken
them for about two years and enjoys
an excellent appetite, feels strong
and sleeps well.” That's the way El
leetric Bitters aflect the aged, and the
same happy results follow in all cases
of female weakness and general de
bijity. Weak, puny children too,
are greatly strengthened by them.
