A. Oakley HalI's Lecture at the Church
OF the Disciples Last Night.
'Love, Marriage ana Divorce" were the themeA
OF Mr.. A. Oakley Halls lecture last night. The
lecture is one OF the Galaxy course, and was de-
yered in the Church OF the Disciples to large
ana intellectual audience. Although Mr. Hal
draped marriage with the gossaner laces OF poetry
1t seemed TO be less appreciated in the delivery
than love or divorce. His humorous sketch OF how
the marriage ceremony is performed so as to con-
form with the ritual OF Mrs. Grundy was very
amusing Readers OF mythology and lashl0naclo
papers will no doubt be astonlshed to learn the
truthful paradox to which Mr.. Hall gave utterance
last night, to wit, "Hymen has become the butler
OF Mrs. Grundy."
Love was described as ga longing inconceivably
sweet;n Marriage as companlonsnip; Divorce as
horror.
The lecture throughout was rich with thou

Financial circles have been tremendously agi-

house OF A. & W. Sprague has become subject to
the panic In the money market, ana Is In imminent
danger or being driven TO the wall For several
days past rumors have been current that
the Spragues were showing signs OF financial
weakness, and these rumors have daily increased,
producing great alarm in the business community.
The recent extensive transactions or the house OF
Hoyt, Sprague n Co.. in New York city, affect the
and affairs at home have taken such turn
to call for s1,ooO0Oo more to meet the
very pressing financial difficulties, which call must
be promptly met or the great house, it is reported
must fall. These facts becoming known. great ex-
citement is manifested among the manufacturers,
merchants and business men here generally, and

Many OF the leading bankers, merchants and others
met this evening to discuss the situation and, II
possible, devise measures for relief. as
they all would be affected If the house should
fall but no satisfactory conclusion was then
reached. Representatives of the firm OF Brown

The Spragues own many factories in the State
and control several large banking institutions, and
their failure would shut down the banks, close the
factories and throw thousands out OF employ

short time, and some have suspended altogether.
The business men feel the situation keeniys

report at midnight is That the bankers have

1t said that the corpse has been buried with the
