past week, real estate mortgagee to
the value of $182,000 were cancelled,
while for the same period, new realty
mortgages valued at but $128,000 were

mortgage indebtedness oh real estate is
created much faater than it is paid off,
the true significance of these figures
will be appreciated. They mean that
the city is remarkably, prosperous, that
the people have ready money, and that
they are using it to cancel the indebtedness-on
their homes and other realty.

FOR
DIVORCE
UPOfJ T.iORAL GROUT.'D
Dr. Peters Says It's Sinful
for Some New Yorkers to
Stay Married "
(Special Dispatch ts.The Jonrsal.)
New York, Jan. M.-r-The Rev. Madl
son C Peters, in a sermon Sunday came
out squarely: in favof of divorce, in
some cases, took a crack at the New
York marriage license law, ;: and paid
his respect to marrvlnr parsons.
Although he mentioned no names, the
Inference is that this Baptist parson in
tended to take a. particular fall out of
tne. ' untie unurce Around the Corner'
and its rector, the Rev. Dr. George CI
Houghton.
Among other things; the Rev. Peters
said:
"There is a thmg worse than divorce.
and that is to make a hell of the hol
iest human relation. Divorce la nat al
ways a menace to the purity of the
home. ' ;' r, -- '- v
"What Ood hath' Joined -together let
no man put asunder. But who knows
what GOd has Joined? Going through
a marriage ' ceremony and paying the
minister does -not make the contract
God Joined; so far from it that in aome
New York cases to keep the contracting
parties joined 1 immoral, and therefore
ainful. .v--..--. !,..i.--..' -v, .. .
. "Marriage la the world's clvillier.
We should resist every tendency to dis
parage this sacred Institution. This can
be done,, not by forcing mismated people
to live together because , they have a
marriage license,' but to prevent mis
matches. Ministers should be more
careful whom they marry. -There Is at
least one church In this ' city which
makes runaway and other foolish mar
riages 'a . regular business."
