thinks a great many railroad acci—

u stilttted a system oi movable

It is said tltat under New York's
new marriage law. it is possible
for two persons who desire to be
legally married to mak '* a written
'agrecmcut declaring themselves
husband and wife. and they are
‘lcgally married. llut if at any
time within the six months suc-
ceeding. they are dissatisfied with .
the arrangement all they have to
do is to tear up the little. piece of
paper. and neither one of them
has thereafter the slightest legal
claim on the other. If they wish
the. marriage to stand they must
file a certificate lvith the county
clerk within the six months. No
wonder their is talk about "motl-
ifying" this law.
There are 150,000 deaths an»
dually in France. from tuberculo—
5sis. an alarming death rate. which
has recently? been investigated by
a“ Frettclt' parliamentary commis-
sion. The commission finds that
the departments which are the
. greatest cetiters for tuberculosis.
are always those in which the
consumption of alcohol is highest.
The report declares that consump—
tion of alcohol is'bighest. The re
port declares that consumption is
curable at all stages. Dr. Dari
berg is quoted as saying: “llur~
ing the last ten years I have cured
a number of consumptives. who
have resumed their occupations.

At the Grand Central station it Wm: ‘

had commenced an investigation to
} determine tho cause of and responsibll
l ity for the wreck, the railroad officials
thud postponed their Investigation and
would present all the facts In their

District Attorney Jerome said he
wished his investigation to be as thor-
.ough as possible. and that he would?
;e.onfer with Coroner Scholcr, with a
view to making it so. “It Is possible."

The district attorney‘s inquiry was
held behind closed doors. Mr. Jerome
presided. lie said he would give out
such parts of the. testimony as might
be made public. at the end of each ses
sion. The state. railroad commission
decided to cooperate with the district
. attorney and.to abandon the plan for a
separate investigation.
John Wlscho. the onxineer of the
White Plnlns low. which run into thc
South Nor-walk train. was said to be ‘
in a state of almost complete nervous I
collapse today. He refused to sue any
one. The warden of the Tombs. where
be was taken a prisoner yester. said
the man had not yet obtained counsel
in New Rochelle, where all but one
of the dead lived. business was almost
entirely suspended today. Of those
hurt. twenty-nine lived in New Ro—‘
ehelle. and numbers of relatives spent
the night in New York near the hnslll“

dead Were taken to New Rochelle. The
town was in mourning and many per».

made visits to thosc who had suffered
loss. and offered sympathy and assist—
anew.
The date for the inouest has not
been fixed. but it will probably be beL

Another investigation probably will
be made hv President Cantor. of the
borouizh of Manhattan. Mr. Cantor
said today: "I will confer with tin

Toilets were elected members of the
board to fill the vacancies canned by
the removal from the city of Lewis H.

The chief topic for discussion. after
routine business was disponcd of. was
plans for placing the association on a
solid financial basin before the time for
taking formal pouseusion of the prop-
erty recently purchased. which is now
set for February list.
The receipts for the first eight days
of the new year have been very encour~
aging, because they are mostly mem-
strengthened the conviction in the
minds of the board that the success of
the work lies in the building tip of a
large membership.
REVIEW Oil" YEAR‘S WORK.
A brief glance at tho record of the
Ainericnn Associations for the past
year will not only be refreshing. but
certainly ought to stimulate the friends
of the work in this town to a more
earnest effort and a dogged determina-
tion to make the work a permanent
success in every department. The sum
of 310.000.00t‘l have been committed and
pledged to the American Young Mens'
Christian Association during the. past
year. in funds for buildings. endow-
ment. support and for the payment of
debut. and extension. which expresacs
the confidence reported in the organiza-
tion and the expectation of large ser—
vice front it to young men. A building
has been added to its equipment. cvery
Wick. and sevetliy'scveri more build-
ings are assured for the future.
The associations number tilt}. and
the membership in America is 268.477.
and throughout the world 533.049. The
Bible clans records no increase of 50
per cent. and evangelistic services are
more effective than ever. Army Asso-
ciation work done at 323 points; naval

the anuociution has maintained its
numbers. its work. its integrity and its
loyalty to Christ and “in church. The
anaoeiation in The Norwalka has tic-var
had a fair show to demonstrate thc
utility and power of the, work, because
of inadequate facilities and support.
The lil’es‘nt crowded condition I ' .
rooms demonstrates the fact that the
bow and young men want the associa-
tion.
The incubus of an old debt and the
lack of proper facilities has hindered
the work during the past two years. but
these are only incidents and can be
cleaned up, and other facilities provid-
ed. and the work will become a perma-
nent lilcsaing to the town.
if the spirit of the times is "Expam

then why not. as a community. apply
these to the work of the association.
