WASHINGTON. Nov. 99—The bu-
Ireau of tbn census h.v* Just completed
a compilation of the a\«tlstics of mar
riage and divorce covering a period
of twenty year* from 1117 to lfOS, In
clusive. This la the second statistical
investigation Y»f this character au
thorised by the federal government,
the earlier Inquiry being carried out
through the agency of the department
of Carroll D. Wright, who waa then
commissioner of labor. Mr. Wright
has also been associated with the pres
ent Inquiry, acting aa an expert spe
cial agent of the census buerau. The
detailed report presenting the results
of the present Inquiry, and Including
also a summarisation of figures pre
sented In the former report, which Is
now out of print, is In press; but in
the meantime the census bureau haa
Issued a bulletin, prepared by Joseph
A. Hill, which presents a summary
of the results of the Inquiry with as
much detail as will probably be desir
ed by the general public.
Over Twelve Million Marriages.
The total number of marriages re
corded during the twenty years from
1987 to 1906, inclusive, was 12.832.044.
The number annually reported In
creased from 483,069 In the year 1817
to 853,290 In the year 1906. The In
crease year by yeab was by no means
uniform. The marriage rate is quick
ly Tesponslve to changes in economic
conditions. A small Increase shown
fqr 1893 and an actual decrease In
the succeeding year reflect the influ
ence of the panic of 1892. and normal
conditions do not appear to have been
restored In the matrimonial market
until the year 1899. It is computed
that If the average Increase In mar
riages during the five years ending
with 1892 had continued for the next
Six years, the aggregate number of
marriages contracted during the lat
ter period would have been greater
than It was by 259.813. It is to bo
presumed that a considerable number
of persons in this larre total never
contracted marriage. This suggests a
loss to the community heretofore 11*.-
tle considered In connection with pe
riods of financial depression.
Marriage Rate.
The marriage rate In the United
States In tho year 1900 was 93 per
10.000 population. Baaed upon the
Adult unmarried (single, widowed. Or
divorced) population, tho rale becomes
321 per 10.000 Indicating that in each
year something over 3 per cent of the
unmarried ndult population marry. The
marriage rate based on the total pop
ulation la higher in the United State*
than In any other country for which
reliable statistics ore available. But
taking the marriageable population as
the bnsto—that Is. the population which
is of marriageable age but not mar
ried—the rate In 3he United States Is
not as high as It Is In Hungary. Is
about the same as it Is in Saxony,
but still higher than in any other
countries Included In the camoirlsou.
Nearly One Million Marital Failures.
The total number of divorce* report
ed for the twentv years 1887 to 1907,
Inclusive, was 945.626. For the earlier
investigation, covering tho twenty
years 1867 to 1888, Inclusive, the num
ber reported was 328,716 or hardly
more than one-third of the number
recorded In the second twenty year*.
At tho beginning of tho tarty-yet*
period, covered by the two Investlga
the nnnual number was about 66.000
This Increase, however, must be con
sidered in connection with Increase In
population.
An Increase of 80 per cent In pop
ulation between the years 1*70 and
1880 was accompanied by on Increase
of 79 per cent In the number of di
vorces granted. In the next decade.
1880 to 1890, the population increased
26 per cent nnd divorces 70 per cent,
and In the following decade. 1890 to
1900 an Increase of 31 P*«* font fa
population was accompanied by an In
crease of *6 per cent In the number
of divorces. In the six years from
1900 to 1906, population, as estimated.
Increased 10.5 per cent and divorce*
*1.3 per cent.
It thus appears that at the end of
the forty-year period divorces were In
creasing about three times as fast «■
population, while In the flrat decade
1870 to I860, they Increased only about
two and two-thirds a* fast.
The divorce rate per 100.000 popu-
latlon Increased from 29 In 1870 to 82
In 1108. In the former year there
was tone divorce for every 3.441 persona
and In the latter year one for every
1,111. Since It Is only married people
who can become divorced, a more sig
nificant divorce rate la that which Is
based, not upon Jotal poulatlon, but
upon the total married population.
The rate ner 100.000 married popula-
tlon was 81 In the vear 1870 and 20o
In the year 1900. Thla comparison In
dicates that divorce 1* at present two
and one-half time* aa common, com
pared with married population, as It
was forty years ago. A divorce rate
of 300 per 100.000 marrleo population
la eoulvalent to 3 per 1.000 married
population. Assuming that 1.090 mar.
rled people represen* 500 married cou
ples. it follow* that In each year 4
married couples out of every 1.006
secure a divorce.
This doee not mean that only 4
marriages out of l.*00 are, terminated
by divorce. The rate. It will be noted,
la an annual rate continuously opera
tive and come* far short of measur
ing the probability of ultimate di
vorce. The available data Indicate,
however, that not leas than one mar
riage in It la ultimately terminated
by divorce.
Divorce raids a peer to be much
hJgh-r in the United States than In
! any of the foreign countries for which
; statistics relating to this subject have
! been obtained.
Wlvse Obtain Twice as Many Divorces
as Husbands.
Two-thirds of the total number of
divorcee granted In the twenty-year
period covered by this investigation
were granted to the wife.
Without any reference to the ques
tion of which party is the more fre
quently responsible for the marital
unhappiness that leads to divorce, it
rosy bo said that the wife haa a legal
ground for divorce more frequently
than tho husband: that Is to say.
there are certain well-recognised and
comparatively common ground* that
are more readily applicable as against
the husband than aa against the wife.
Notably there Is “neglect to provide”
or non-support, which, for tbe hus
band seeking divorce, Is hardly an
available ground, although the present
investigation found six cases in the
state of Utah, In which the husband
obtained a divorce on that ground.
Cruelty, although not infrequently the
ground for divorces granted to hus
band*! is more generally existent as
cause for the wife's seeking a di
vorce. Five divorces for cruelty are
granted to the wife for every one
granted to the husband.
Causes of Divorce.
The most common simple ground
for divorce Is desertion. This ac
counts for 38.9 per cent of all di
vorce* (period 1887 to 1906); 49.4 per
cent, or almost one-half of those
granted to the husband, nnd 33.5 per
cent, or one-third, of those granted
to the wife.
The next most Important ground of
divorce Is, for husbands, adulterv, and
for wive*, cruelty. Of .the divorces
granted to husbands (1887 to 1906)
28.8 per cent were for adultery; and of
those granted to wives 27.5 per cent
were for cruelty. Only 10 per cent
of the divorces granted to husbands
were for cruelty on the part of the
wife.
Drunkenness was the ground for di
vorce in 6.8 per cent of the cases in
which the wife brought suit, and in
1.1 per. cent of the cases in which thp
suit was brought by the husband.
Tbe above percentages represent
those cases In which the specified
cause waa the eole ground on which
the divorce was granted. Verv fre
quently. however, divorces are granted
not upon one ground only, but upon
two or more In combination.
In many cases In which drunken
ness or intemperance was not recog
nised in the decree of the court u« a
ground for divorce it appears to have
been present as a contributory Influ-
cause of divorce In 5 per cent of the
divorcee granted to the husuand and
in 18 per cent, of the divorces granted
to the wife, and appeared as n direct
or indirect cause In 19.5 per rent of
oil divorces, and 26.3 per cent of those
granted to wives and 6.1 per cent of
those granted to husbands.

The* number of divorces occurring In
the flrat year of married life during the
entire period. . 1887 to 1906. waa 18.8T6;
tho number increases to 27.761. in the

becomes 68.770. From that point on the
number diminishes year by year, but
doe* not fall below tho number granted
In the first year of married life until the
vorcod couples Is more clearly Indicated
by tho number of years which elapse be
tween marriage and separation. Usually
separation precedes divorce by a con
siderable length of time; and a certain
period must necessarily elapse before^
divorce can be obtained after the occa
sion for it arises. Tho number of years
from marriage to separation waa nscer-
talned In raw* of 770.639 divorced couples.
Of these 98.466. or 13.8 pwwnt, separa
ted In Ihe first year of married life, and
109.689, or 11.2 per cent. In the second
C an (n the third year the number falls
76,103: at the end of the fifth one-
half of tVia total number of separations
have taken place. But It la * somewhat
surprising fact that -4.143 married
couples, or .31 per cent of the total num
ber, separated and became divorced after
the completion of twenty*-fix'* year# of
married life.
Place of Marriage.
In this respect divorces have been
classified with respect to the state or
country In which the parties were mar
ried. In 168 per cent of the total num
ber of cases thla information waa not
obtained; 66.1 P«r cent were reported aa
married in the same state fa which the
divorce was granted; 18.7 par 4MKt M
married in sooe other state: and 3.5 per
rent as married In foreign countries,
th# last percentage can. by no means, be
accented as representing th* proportion
of divorces granted to foreigners, sine*
ly Immigrants are married after
Ing to into country, and such mar-
.,.«** are not distinguishable from those
of natives. Of the divorced couples
known to have been married in the
United State* M^tarrant^ra married
in th# tamo stato in which they were dl-
voreed, and 11.6 per cent In other states.
Of the divorced couplts known to have
been married In farelgn countries 36.9
per cent were married In Canada; 12. •
K r cent in England; 16.1 per cent In
rmany; and 1 • per cent in Ireland.
Tbe percentage for Ireland Is* notably
email, na compared with the population
of Irish birth, which, in fact, constitu
ted 18.6 per cent of the total foreign bom
population in the year 1900. It Is further
noteworthy that th* divorced marriages
contracted fa Germany are more than 8
times aa many as those contracted in
Ireland, although the German boro popu-
latlon ts only 65 per cent larger than th*
Irish.
Children In Divorce Case*.
Children were reported In *9.1 per cent
of the total number of. divorced~caoee.
The proportion Is much larger for di
vorce* granted to the wife than tar di
vorce* granted to the husband; children
bring present in 46.6 per cent *T the
former class of dtvoreeO and 36 per ©rot
of the latter. A reason suggested for this
la that the children are usually, assigned
by the court to the mother, and toiler,
therefore, divorce, doe* not Imply eepora-
tlon from her children, while to the hus
band It involves a severance of the pa-
rental as wen aa the marital relation.
