Columbia, February 1.-During tIe afternoon session of the House Representat've T. B. Fraser, of Sum ter, moved 'hat the house go into committee of the whole, which w"as carried, and Mr. Rucker was called to the chair. Mr. Fraser then pres ented a series of resolutiofts, express ing the appreciatian. of the house for the fair and impArtial manner in which Speaker Wha'ley has discharg ed the duties of his office, expressing appreciation of the services of other officials of the house, and thanks to the newapapers and their represen.ta tives for their full and fair reports. Mr. Fraser moved the adoption of the resolution by a rising vote, which was done, and the committee of the whole then arose. Speaker Whaley was summoned from his room and Mr. Rucker in formed him of the resolution. In a - brief speech Mr. Rucker expressed the sentiment of the house. Mr. Whaley was very much iffected by this expression. He said he had endeavored to discharge the duties of his office w.ith a iealization of his obligation to all the members of the house and the people of the state. If his administration. had been success fiul it was due largely to the work of the clerical ofimcials of the house. At the conclusion of Mr. Whaley's brief remarks the house took a recess un til 8 o'clock. ' HALF A MILLION DIVOROES. frhat'a the Record of . the United States in Twenty Years. On account of the growth of di vorce in this country, says the eNw York Sun, the national government is collecting statistics from the various states with a view to throwing light on the subject and encouraging reme dial legislation. It is estimated that there have been 500,000 divorces in the U.itcd States in the last t'iwenty years and that 1,500,000 children have seen their homes biroken up. On ly nine states now publish divorce statistics These are Maine, New 'Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, --'hode Island, Co.nnecticut, Ohio. In diana, and Michigan. So many excuses for divorce have been fonid, that the comic papers find the subject one that yieldsi much rich material. A SouthD Dakota woman recently got a divoree from her hus baud because he refused to pay for a pair *of corsets she had bought. One w1vife secured a separation from her hu.sband because he persisted in stow ing their neighbors' cat, thus Ilaking her unpopular in the comintinity. An other w~omua.l who married a carpen ter .begged to he releasedl from the union01 on account of the fear that if she ever had children they would in herit a tendency to pound and make noise. Mrs. James Alexainder of New York State carried off the lhon or's as a most unique divorcee by issu ing cards that read: ''Mrs. .James Alexander requests the honor01 of your presence at the celebration of her di v'orce from Mr. James Alexander.'' However, it remained for a Baltimore man to do' the hamdflSOmel thling by his dissptisfiedl wife. W'hen he found that shle was in love with another man lhe helped her secure her release from hJimself, settled tihe hlouse .nd a fine imeon hecr and crow,nedl his gen prdsity bly giving her away at the wedd(ing. As a rule the states have adopted 1 2 ,viewv thlat it is wiser not to interfere with marrliage, rela tions thlat are not pleasant, and so have been reluctant to enact div'orce laws. Thlose that have heen enacted vary much in whlat is considered jus5 tifleation, length of legal residence re qulired1 and terms of settlement. They range all the way fr'om South Caro lina, with .no divorce law at all, to Tennessee's willingness to grant a d. vorce on any one0 of twelve reasons after one years residence inl the state. The length of residence re quired before a divorce can be ob~ 'tained range from six mfonths8 in Sojtth Dakota, Idaho, Nebraska, Ne vada .atld Texas.to five y'ears in Mas sachuisetts. Thle causes5 range from ' very grave cr'imes0 dow.n to mero triv ialities : Newv York grants a divim'cc only for *tdultery, and fifty out of fifty-one Sts~tes and territories recognize this as jiut .groulld for Issuing a decree, in twenty-four out of fifty-one states rid territories .wilfrul tieglect to pro 'ide, n forty habitu'al drunkeyness, #d in foftythrec desertion br'aban ~imtient is~ considered sguffleieint cause qiplegaV separation. n fortyj-three tltes erutelty is acepted but - the k41w1l intoi'pr ted4 t rins t6 ' 011eous teMper.'"

The pr4sent variation of the mar. riage laws throughout the states if raid to be largely responsible for th( prevailing muddle in divorces. Onl3 eleven st-qte constitutions. treat tho subject of marriage at all. An oli statute of Pennsylvania requirei twelve witnesses to a marriage, som( two, some one and soUie none at all In NeAv York practically no ceremon3 beyond registry is required. A mat gave a woman a ring saying: ''Thii is your wedding ring,'' and the court held it to be a valid marriage. Ir South Carolina a person convicted oJ bigamy is disqualified from bei,n registered or from voting. In Utal ''Polyganious or plural marriages ar forever prohibited.

The law makers of Vermont. have gravely ruled that a man may marry his mo'ther-in-law if he likes.
