OF marriage. Under some trying eircum
stances a man may be justified in desert
ing the woman he chose for life, but the
man who wiltully forsakes the woman he
Eshoald protect, is a villain of the worst
kind. A most aggravated case recently
came TO light in this city. An Insurance
agent who was blest with beautiful and
lovely wife, cruelty deserted her, after
taking all the money. she had The
charms of another woman led this man
to desert his lawful wife and go forth
stamped with infamy.
Chicago is poor place to be left desti-
tute in; not that people are less generous
than in other cities, but the calls of bust
ness preclude the investigation of charity
cases. The unfortunate woman referred
to above however, was helped on he.

The sudden change which we have ex-
perienced from mild beautiful weather to
genuine clustering cold, has increased the
calls upon our various charitable associa-
tions. Many of these organizations are
complete and by centralizing their efforts
do very much towards relieving the needy.
The system that is fast being introduced
is; to investigate the cases of all appli-
cants and give only to those in want, dis

Something decidedly novel but highly
interesting IL the matter of entertain
ments is to be introduced by Mr.. G.: D.
Hess q Co., at the magnificent Opera
House. Brough's last extravaganza.
1.-The Field Of the Cloth of Gold'' is a
combination of fine scenery, elegant-cos-
tunes and dramatic presentations of the
most laughable character. Mr.. Hess has
gone beyond the legitimate requirements
of the piece and prepared grand enter
tainment in addition to the play itself.
Hernandes the guitarist, Mrs Oates and
host cf others will be introduced, pre-

give all an opportunity Of seeing it.

to select one city paper in which to do
their advertising and patronize no other.
This combined movement bids fair to
build up one of the younger papers.
