NEW YORK. April 29.—The extremely
limited operations in the stock market
today gave no hint of any growth of
outside interest. The movement in Un
ion Pacific was the only one worthy of
note. The strength in that stock domi
nated the whole market and gave it what
ever vague character it had. There was
no news to explain the advance in Un
ion Paolflo. ft was variously attributed
to the formation of a stock market pool
to speculate in the slock, and to the
expectation of some coming change in the
affairs of a company that would redound
to the benefit of stockholders. The sym
pathetic effect of the Union Pacific move
ment radiated thro > h the markw_.x.:th
diminishing effect in st'oeks more remotely
connected with it. the greatest effect be
ing shown in the more intimately con
nected trans-eontinen%i.' group.
The sharp reaction -in the- wheat mar-
get gave some assistance to the Advocates
of higher prices for stocks. The amount
of unloading of wheat, induced by the
news of showers in the Southwest, serves
to impress stock market sentiment with
the large araotmt of speculative influence
which has been at work in the recent
wheat market, and so detracted from the
force of recent crop scare reports.
The keen competition in the J-ofldon
market for the newlv arrived gold was
looked upon with Interest. The sharp
bidding which advanced the price of the
gold a half penny, the small proportion
secured by Paris anil the firmness of the
sterling exchange markets here all added
to the likelihood that gold might be
shinned from New York to Paris. The
local money market was not affected by
these developments and remained easy.
There was a feeling of satisfaction with
the tranquil outlook reported in the la-
bo’■ field on the eve of May Day.

MEXICO CITY, April 29.—The most
extreme indignation and wild excite
ment have been caused here by the re
port that the American and Mexican
legations in Guatemala City have been
stoned by a mob of several hundred
men instigated to the act by agree
ments of President Manuel Estrada
Cabrera, of Guatemala. There is ev
ident a strong inclination to give
credence to the report and no official
denial has been made though the
federal authorities refuse to confirm it.
Mexican troops are being mobilized
on the Guatemalan frontier, though
the war department has stated that
the mobilization is nothing more than
a move to insure strict neutrality and
to protect Mexican interests against
any remote danger from irresponsible,
marauding bands. The mobilized
forces in the south will be under the
command of Brig. Geij. Antonio R.
Flores.
Reports are also current here that
Minister Gamboa, representing Mexico
in Guatemala, has left that country
and crossed Into Mexican territory as
the result of friction with Cabrera’s
Government growing out of telegrams
sent from this country to Guatemala
relative to the assassination of Gen.
Manuel Barrillas.
Passports are said to be in prepara
tion for Minister Manuel Giron, the
Guatemala representative in tHis cap
ital, for his return to his own country.

The last named contribution was ac

“To The Telegrapn: Inclosed please

Thei names of this little band of

PRIZE
HAVANA, April 29.—The plan of a
Cuban standing army of 12.000 men.
as suggested by the general staff of
the American army, Is most attractive
to that element of the Cuban people
which Is fond of the gold laco and
regalia of the Spanish-American arm
ies. But among the conservative ele
ments the plan excites really less in
terest than the preceding one to re
cruit the rural guard up to 12.000
men.
The latter plan was vigorously op
posed even by the Liberals, who It
was supposed would have jumped at
the opportunity opened by such a lav
ish distribution of patronage, and
while the standing array scheme evi
dently has been framed to meet their
objections, the apparent impossibility
of this accomplishment has caused it
to be received with something very
like derision.
Gov. Magoon. who has not yet been
advised of any Intention of the war
department to adopt the elaborate
program of the general staff, does not
believe it possible to recruit in the
island of Cuba 12,000 soldiers who
shall come up to the standard of the
United States Army. This view is
fully shared by Cubans experienced
in military affairs, who point out that
the United States today has such dif
ficulty in obtaining satisfactory re
cruits for its relatively small estab
lishment of 60,000 men that it cannot
keep the ranks of tho army of paci
fication even reasonably full.
While it is true that Cuba is richer
in colonels .than Kentucky and rivals
Hayti in the matter of generals, few of
these warriors have any knowledge of
military tactics other than those of
the bush. To Insure a supply of train
ed officers a military academy, a Cu
ban West Point, they say, is indispen
sable. This Is in line with a recent
proposition strongly urged upon Gov.
Magoon by Gen. Estenoz, a prominent
Liberal, that at least two schools
be established to form the neucleus
of a Cuban Annapolis in which to rear
the Farraguts, Nelsqns and Togos of
Cuban fleets to be. Still more serious
objections to the scheme are that it at
once imposes the doubue burden of a
huge military establishment, will ab
sorb at least one-third of the reve
nues, and diminution of the already
thin ranks of labor by just so many
men as are called upon to bear arms.
Probably a moderate Increase of the
rural guard, now about 1,500 men be
low Its authorized strength of 5.000,
will be regarded by most Cubans as a
satisfactory establishment . of tha
status of armed forces of the republic.

later without having regained con

She was 51 years of age, a sister of
Louis Harrison the actor, and when
five years ago she retired from tho
stage to devote her time to the care
of an aged mother, she had earned
recognition as a woman of talent.
Since her mother's death Miss Harri
son has been preparing to return to
the stage. Friends said that the ac
tress had been sick for several days,
but had not sought medical attention.
Miss Harrison was for some time a
member of the Daly forces and also
appeared for several seasons under
the manageemnt of A. M. Palmer. She
had a part in a Belasco production at
one time. Her last appearance was in
“Naughty Anthony.”

Mr. Will C. Turpin displayed yes
terday a limb taken from one of his

If the peaches had been ripe the
weight would have broken the limb.
They were in a fine healthy condition,
j and the trees were burdened with
them. There has been no appreciable

Mr. Turpin says unless a hailstorm
comes along and knocks off the fruit,
he will have as big a. crop as he ex

Growth of tho Divorce Habit.
From the Washington Herald
The census bureau has obtained suf
ficient data in its inquiry into the sta
tistics of divorce the the twenty-year
period. 18S7-1907, to warrant the con
clusion that the number of divorces
granted has increased more rapidly
than the population, and that the di
vorce habit has made great strides
during the past two decades. Between
the yeu’s 1867 and 18S7, 328,716 di
vorces were granted In the Unltetd
States, or about thirty-three In every.-
100.000 of the population. For tllo-
twenty years covered by the present
investigation, it is estimated that the
total number of d4vorces granted may
reach 1.200.000 or about seventy in
every 100,000, a proportion more thfen
double that of the preceding decade
These figures may be well regarded as
of startling sociological significance.'
But what, precisely, is their sigflf-
cance? The. common point of view ns
to divorce is that it is an unmitigated
evil, threatening the perpetuity of the
home and the' stability of the social
order. But when we note that, accord
ing to the census of 1900 there were
living but 200.000 divorced persons' in
a total population of 76.000,000, of
whom nearly 2S.000.000 were married
and 4 000,000 were widowed the farital
relations of our people, taking-the
country as a whole, seem but slightly
disturbey by the operations of the di
vorce courts. This and other facts m y
be held to support the view that di
vorce is an evil of relatively'res: ricted
area, and that it is more largely a
consequence of ordinary human de
pravity than of social forces making
for the destruction of the home, f'f
the 328.000 divorces granted in the
period of 1867-1887, 66 per cent, were
granted to wives, mainly for infideliy.
desertion.cruelty.drunkenness and fail
ure to provide. Desertion was the
cause of divorces in 39 per cent, cf
these cases, and not only desertion r n
the part of the husband, but of Ji
wife also, or two-fifths of teh dlvnlr-eg
granted for that cause were to hus
bands deserted by their wives. A mel
ancholy fact of divorce is that of or 56
per cent, .of the decrees for divorce on
account of infidelity were granted to
the husband fon the fault of his wife.
The instability o hufan nature, rather
than that of the institution of mar
riage, Is the obvious Ipsson from these
unhappy statistics. Doubtless most of
those who divorce has relieved from
miserable bondage to some human
brute do not regard the severance of
tlm marital tie as altogether an evil.
The large number of divorces grant
ed to wives for various causes suggests
that one reason for the increase in
divorce may bo etc growing frerdom
of women, accompanied by modern
Ideals of the marriage relation. A sta
tistical fact apparently having some*
bearing on this theory is that in five
Western States, where women are of
an unconvent.al and Independent
type the numb*- 1 ' of divorces is much
larger, both absolutely and relatively,
than in Eastern States of much larger
population, where it may be assumed,
older fgmlnine ideals prevail. For ex
ample’the number of divorces Fronted
In each of the states of Ohio. Indiana,
and Illinois. Is much larger than the
number granted in the state of New
York and of course the number of di
vorced ’persons residing in each of
these Stat -s is larger than the number
living in the Empire State. In fact,
the divorce evil is largely a Western
evil, and that the condition of life and
the popular Ideals prevailing there
have much to do with the frequency
of insert to the courts seems a natural
conclusion.
