Some Strictures On South Dakota's
Place In The Scheme
N'KW YORK, Aug. 16.-Bishop S.
I). Tuttlc of St. Louis, presiding bish
op of the Episcopal Church in Amer
ica, with ttishop Frederick D. John
son of South Dakota, have returned
from London. Both clergymen at
tended the conference of Bishops held
recently at Lambeth Palace in Lon.
don. In discussing the divorce ques
tion Hishop Tuttlc said: "I do not be
hove that divorce in the United States
is (rowing at a greater pace than the
population, but there is altogether too
great a laxity shown in this great
ocial question and measures should
lie taken to curb the evil."
"There has been too much of
the divorce advertising of South Da
kota," said Bishop Johnson. "We are
tired of being made the refuse box, as
it w ere, for every man or woman with
a grudge against his or her mate to
come here and air dirty linen. Mind
you, we don't blame those that comej
and acquire citizenship so much as
we blame ourselves for the laxity of
our divorce laws. But there must be,
a stop put to it and I believe the pro
posed change in the term one must
live in South Dakota before acquir
ing citizenship will in a large measure
settle the problem, and destroy the
evil."

Souvenir collectors of postal cards

NEW DIPLOMATIC IDEA.
Prominent Chinaman Declares China
To Be, Our Logical Ally.
PARIS, Aug. 18. Li Sum Ling, the
Chinese editor of the China Mail, who
originated the idea of an alliance be
tween the United States and China,
during the course of an interview yes
terday, affirmed that China is the log
ically of the United States and de
clared that Germany was not fitted
for an alliance with the'United States
and that she would be unable to ren-'
der help in the Kast. Further, he de
clared, an alliance with Germany ;
would arouse the hostility of Japan j
and Great Britain, the most powerful '
factors in that part of the world.
On the other hand, he continued,
China would be able to afford com
mercial facilities to the United States
and in event of war the Chinese army
would be sufficient, added to the for

Story of Great Disaster Which Wiped
Out th Population.
The story of the enchanted mesa
was but a trudltlon when in 1541 the
Spaniard flint visited the pueblo of
Acomu, lu wbut 1 now Valencia coun
ty. N. W. Powerful tribes Inhabited
the region. These tribes or nations
were constantly at war with each oth
er, which accounts for the fortified
character of the villages of the na
tives. The Queres, whose descend
ants cow occupy Acoma, held this re
gion and dwelt tn small fortified towns,
the capital of which was Acoma. It
was not, however, the Acoma of today,
but a city perched upon the top of the
great rock now called Mesa Encan
tada. It was the magnificent city of
the nation, and there dwelt the great
men of the tribe, together with their
families.
The rock then, as now, was unscal
able, save at the one point where a
narrow and precipitous trail led up
the dizzy height While not the most
convenient dwelling place, for neither
water nor vegetation was to be- found
upon the summit. It was safe from
the attacks of foes. One man at the
top of the trnll could defend the city
against the warriors of the entire west,
One day, while a large number of the
Inhabitants were at work In the fields
on the plain below or attending to the
affairs of the tribe tn the various neigh
boring villages, something within the
rock or In the earth beneath it awoke
to life and motion. There was a heav
ing, a squirming and a shivering of
the great rock, and, with a mighty
noise, it parted in twain, and a portion
fell In fragments to the plain below.
Such persons as were carried down
In the debris were crushed to death. A
worse fate remained for those left
prisoners on the top of the mesa, for
that which fell carried away the nar
row trull, the only means of ascent
and descent The Rtranded ones per
ished from thirst and starvation. The
preseut Acoum family are the descend
ants of disaster. Ethnologists who vis
ited the top of the rock some years ago
found unmistakable evidences that it
hnd oure been the site of habitation.
The story or the dii-aster had previous
to that time been discredited and con
sidered but mi Idle Indian legend. The

ever, swim-i nulirr.:ator.v of the tale,
