A scANDALous NoBLENrAN.
An Austrian Baron as Defendant In nm
IRnobIe Divorce Cnae.


Judge Moran, of Chicago, is hearing the di-
vorce case of Emile Kometer against Baron
Arthur Won Kometer, in which the noble
defendant is charged with the plebeian crimes
of drunkenness and cruelty toward his wife.
He is described in the Tribune as very or
dinary looking man, about 80 years of age,
and seems TO consider the trial rather u mat
tor Of pastime. Tho wife is q small, slender
woman, bright and good looking but there
was an angry snap in her eyes whenever she
looked toward hor husband. The evidence,
which was all on the part of the complainant,
went to show that Won Kometer spent his
days in sleeping or making baby quilts and
washcloths out of rags, and his nights in
drinking and playing or gambling. The par
ties were married in Austria in July, 1875
and came to Chicago in November following
His father died shortly after, aud since then
he has received upward of $40 month from
the estate, which, in his opinion, relieved
him of any necessity of working. One of the
witnesses, q furniture dealer A. J. Neuber-
ger, gave an account of the very dramatic
way in which they patched up q quarrel in
his store. He had sold them 5000 worth of
furniture on time, aud they were often in
his store. One time Kometer came in and
wanted witness TO help him effect recon-
ciliation with his wife, An arrangement
was made by which Kometer hid himself
in tho store, and the wife was sent for.
Neuberger tries TO induce her to forgive
her husband, but she is obdurate Then
Kometer pops out and adds his ontreaties; still
she will not relent. He called her "Mignon,"
and opened his arms considerably for her to
fall into them. But she omits to fall. Thon
he falls on his knees, tears his aristocratic
hair, and makes all sorts of wild promises.
She weakens, yields, and tho happy pair de-
part, leaving the furniture man to reckon
whether the result will have any favorable
effect on tine payment of his bill against them
Noubergor further testified that Kometer had
admitted that he had abused his wife.
Sometimes his actions were good and some
times just horrid. Ho didn't show any
gentlemanly way like we Americans do"
said the worthy Teuton, who evidently glores
in being an adopted son of Uncle Sam
There was also large amount of evidence
to show that Kometer was frequently drunk
and very abusive. TO use the expressive term
of one of the witnesses, it was a stand-off"
whether he was drunk or sober the greater
part of the time. The last witness on tho
stand was Mrs. Kometer, who spoke no Eng
lish, and whose testimony was given through
an interpreter. She had very little of the To-
quacity which is commonly attributed to her
sex, and when possible confined her answers
to a simple yes" or mo" She said her hus-
band never had worked, except whom they
were in Austria, when he sometimes attended
the maneuvers, but did not stay with the mil
itary all the time" lie told her when she
asked for money to give instruction in music
or German. He had struck her because she
refused to give him money.

She tremblingly begged the Justice to re-
lease her from custody, saying that her
little girl was locked up in furnished room
in Second avenue, and was in all
probability suffering from hunger and
thirst. This ruse is frequently adopted
by prisoners in order to effect their dis

temporarily, and Officer Young, of the So

him in Second avenue the officer found it
was an apartment house, under the control
of Mrs. Cohn, who conducted the officer
to a very small room up stairs. The door,
which had been locked, was opened, nd Il
pretty little girl, about years old, was
found within. She had been crying and her
eyelashes were still wet with tears. Sne was
taken to the society's rooms and when food
was placed before her she ate ravenously.
She told the officer she had had nothing To
eat since a day and a half ago. The child
was brought to the Jefferson Market Police

1T DEFEATS THE QUIcksTEPs
BY A CLOSE SCORE.
AN EXCITING LOCAL CONTEST
Jewellers ys. OIOthiers Full Record of
Yesterdays League and Association
Games.

The New York Herald Of this morning
gives the following account of yesterday 9
game. The account in the World Is similar
TO this:
A large and enthusiastic attendance wit
messed the Inter State championship match
at Washington Park, Brooklyn, yesterday
Afternoon, between the Quickstep of VIII
mington, Del, and the "rooklyns. The
management of the Brooklyn club have
greatly strengthened their team by the men
they secured from the defunct Mtrritts, of
Camden. AS it was publicly announced
that the new men would take part the
Brooklynites turned out In large numbers
in anticipation of seeing splendidly con-
tested game, and they were we'll repaid for
their visit.
THE GAME.
The play opened with the Brooklyns at
the bat, and from the style in which both
clubs went at their work 1t was clearly to
be seen that II would be a hard battle, as
each was retired In rapid succession during
the first five innings. The batting was rather
free and the fielding excellent In the sixth
inning the only scoring of the game was
done and all the runs made were earned
The Brooklyns were the first TO break loose,
getting in two earned runs. Walker and
Geer made safe hits and were sent home on
cent additions to the nine. Fox scored a
run for the visitors in the last half of the In
ming on a safe hit, followed by base hits on
the part of Benners and Watt. The last
three innings were hotly contested, both
clubs doing their utmost to score, especially
the Quicksteps, who made several very fine
attempts. In the last inning the fielding OF
the Brooklyns was exceptionally sharp,
which was the means of preventing the
Quicksteps from tieing the game. Corcoran,
one of the Merritt men, who caught his first
game for the Brooklyns yesterday, will no
d doubt prove valuable acquisition to th
club. He watches the bases like hawk,
and was cheered very heartily in the ninth
inning, when he caught one of the Quick
steps mapping at first base and threw him
out. Manning, CorcOran, Fox and Smiley
played in brilliant style in their respective
positions. Benners, Waltt and House,
holder led at the bat The following is the
score.

WE are not in favor of lowering the
standard Of qualification for the ministry.
On the contrary, we should be pleased to
see it raised up to the Scripture mark.
For this end it would be well to refuse
license to man, although he may be
graduate OF the best university and of
the best theological seminary, if he can
not preach-and this is often the case.
And when we find a man qualified to
preach-a man who has the Scriptural
qualifications of bishop-we should be
in favor of licensing him, although he
may be master of no other than his ma
tive tongue. There are many such men,
and we need them in the ministry.
L is nothing to the purpose to say that
weak and unworthy men ought not to be
put into the ministry. Nobody proposes
that. We have seen in the communica-
tons sent us some very wholesome criti-
cism--well-founded objections to the poll
cy of putting weak and unworthy men
into the ministry; but we have not seen
even an attempt made to show how the
ability to write Latin eregesis on some
common head in divinity" is an indis-
pensable qualification for the ministry.
A rigid application Of the test would ex-
clude great many college graduates,
and empty one-half of our pulpits. If
1t Is not right Tor the Presbyterian Church
to license any man without this test, it
is not right for any other Church to do
it. If it is not right to do it in this land,
neither is it right to do it on missionary
ground And, therefore, a converted
Brahman Qike SheshadriD in India, no
matter how intelligent and how capable
in other respects could not preach to the
millions of India.
1t may be alleged that the Book makes
provision in extraordinary cases for the
licensing Of such men as we speak Of.
So it does-in extraordinary cases. But
the DoIcyof the Presbyterian Church in
this matter is one of repression.

tiny which will go far beyond the bounds of
fixed national role.
By series of citations from Josephus, Dion
Cassius, the Alexandrine propagandists, Ju-
venal, and Tacitus, M. Renan established the
fact that in the Greek and Roman epochs there
were crowds OF people converted to Judaism,
and that henceforward the word Judaism has
no great photographic Specification. Accord
ing to the predictions of the prophets, Judaism
had become something universal All the
world came into It, This utilization of foreign
elements extended from the captivity up to
Christian times. Then came the Talmudic
reaction. Judaism felt that it had gone too
far that it was threatened with dissolution in
Christianity Thenceforward proselytism dis
appears, and proselytes are treated as the curse
of Israel the leper of Israel. But Talmudism
did not completely close the doors that had
been so widely opened. There was distinc-
ton the pure, orthodox Jews. rigorous OBJ
servers of the law, kept apart and together for
centuries in a close religious society. But be-
sides these Talmudists, there were Jews with
more liberal ideas
1t is quite true that the Jews had
spread themselves all over the Roman
world about the time OF the advent, and
were powerful in all the cities of the EN-.
pire. They had also made many prose
lytes. 1t was n, this nag that God pre-
pared for the initiation of the Church
over the Roman world. The apostles
went first to the synagogues in the cities
of the empire, and there they formed the
first nucles of the Christian organisations.
The subject is full one, and we regret
that we have not space to pursue it fur
Their.
