District Passenger Agent. 109 Cherry Si 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. Few Divorce Cases Contested. Only 15 per cent of the divorces were ©@EETY •hear. This event Js looked forward to with great pleasure by those who arc so fortunate as to be Invited to attend.

The proportion of husbands than ten years and. 40 per cent last 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 second year of married life, and reaches Its maximum In the fifth year, when It 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.
