Back In the seventies, when Dewey
had command of a 8hlj of the old
Hartford type, he waa lying in the
harbor of Genoa, Visitor were al
lowed on board at all time except
Sunday morning, at which time In
spection took place. One Sunday a
well ' known American millionaire
steamed out with a party of friend
in his private yacht and succeeded In
getting on deck, where he waa met
by Captain Dewey, who asked him to
leave. Mr. Money remonstrated, and,
finally, exasperated by i the cool firm
ness "of the officer, he burst out:
"No, sir, I won't leave. I am an
American citizen and have a perfect
right on this vessel I pay taxes In
America; I am on my own property;
part of this ship belongs to me!"
Calmly Dewey opened his penknife,
stooped down, split off a piece of the
deck flooring. Handing it to the In
censed American citizen he replied:
"That's about what you own, and
there' the ladder-now git!"

Start Ball to Kolifnj? at San
Francisco Conference and,
Others Fall in Line.
New York, March 2S. Agitation
against divorce and the marriage of
divorced persona has resulted tri a
mas meeting of eminent Protectant
minister and laymen, who will at
tempt to solve the problem of urolonn,
legislation on the subject by the states
of the union. A meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the conference,
presided over by Bishop Doone, of
Albany d rated a rough outline of the
proposed law which later will be pre
sented to the full meeting for discus
sion. The Conference I a direct result
of action taken by the Protestant
Episcopal church "In tta last general
conference at San Francisco,
"Every effort will be made to forever .
solve the divorce evil so far as the
Protestant churches are concerned,
declared Rev. David H. Greer, bishop
coadjutor of the Epscopal archdio
cese of New York. ;..
The Roman Catholic church was
invited to participate In the dellbera
tons of the conference, but declined.
The opposition of that church regard
ing divorce Is well known, however.
"Personally, I don't believe In di
vorce or remarriage, but in separation
only. Other gentlemen at the confer
ence 'may have other views; but It
Is the purpose of the representatives
of the Episcopal Methodist Presbyter
ian. Reformed. Evangelical. Lutheran,
Baptist Congregational, Universallst
Unitarian and Reformed Presbyterian
churches to decide upon some final
method involvng comity of relation
and uniform practice to treat the great
evil of divorce in this country, so, that
persons who were married under the
rites of one church cannot after se
curing divorces, remarry under the
rites of eome other Protestant church.
"Ideal legislation In such matters car,
come only after many rebluffs, dis
couragements and long deliberation as
to the wisestcouirse; but such legisla-'
tlon wilt be enacted and the divorce
scourge checked in so far as it is In
the power, of the churches to accom
plish." .
Christianized Barbarism.
The state of things now prevalent
m, the relation between the people
themselves of many parts of the Bal
kan peninsula may be described
roughly as Christianized barbarism.
Murders are committed by one tribe or
family nominally Christian, against
another, and the murderers walk
unmolested provided they can keep
clear of the victm's relatives, who
would wreck vengeance, not only on
the murderer's relatives, but even
against his fellow tribesmen or co
leiiglonists. The truth is, as the Bul
letin d'Orient point out that the Mlrl
dites, the Maltasorta and other, sec
tions of people are still. In all essen
tiol characterstlcs, barbarous and al
most semi-savage. London Globe.
