Marriage nud Divorce,

The interesting subject OF divorce is re.
ceiving q general %overhsuling in
the press and on the platform. The
facility with which men and women
shake of the marriage relation and
its eacred obligations is bringing 80.
ciety 10 its sober second thought"
II people can get unmarried easily there is
n reason why they should DO very par.
ticular about the the alliances they make.
This, Of course, refers to these persons who
lack the nice moral Hense and the decent
regard for public opinion which ought to
play a considerable part in a matter so
delicate and important.
One pertinent thought, very strongly put
by Judge Noah Davis, Of New York, is thst
the interest Of the State has been, and
should not longer be, overlooked. Society
being deeply interested, Judge Davis would
have the State made a party defendant, $50
that it shall DO able to prevent the wrongs
that are inflicted upon the public and upon
children and innocent peraons, and no
judgment should be allowed until it sp.
pears that come lawful representative OF the
State has been served with a process and
had opportunity to. appear and resist the
divorce"
In the came general strain is the we'll.
founded complaint that by reason Of the
miscellaneous lot Of divorce lawn in the
the States fraud is made easy and society
denied reasonable protection, ut is a
monstlous fact" says Judge Davis, shat a
person al leave the State OF his residence
and in a brief time in the courts Of another
State obtain a decree Of divorce entirely
valid in that State but absolutely void in
the courts Of other States. His remarriage
is lawful there; it is felony elsewhere, and
his guilt or innocence depends upon
which side Of an imaginary State line he
happens to stand" Besides being mon
strous, this is SO great an absurdity that it
is a wonder thata civilized people will put
up with II.
Those clever gentlemen, the lawyers,
who do the greater part Of our la%w.makihg,
have not allowed the enormity Of this
thing to weigh heavily on their minds;
and indeed it is doubtful whether the
divorce business could possibly be better
for the lawyers than it is under the present
system, or rather lack OF system.
But public sentiment is gradually being
aroused, and it may DO that the next gen.
Grafton will fndit more difficult than this
to get out Of wedlock, with a consequent
general improvement in public morals.

THE QUEEN OF FESTIVALS.
Artistic Eggs for Easter and How The
are Made.

Artistic Eggs for Easter and How They
are Made.
Easter is one of the three great fesu-
walls of the Christian year, and from the
earliest period of Christianity down to
the present day it has always been cele
brated by believers with the greatest JOY.
Upon this day depend all the movable
feasts and fasts throughout the yeaf-the
nine Sundays going before and the eight
Sundays coming after it being dependent
upon it. and being, as it were, a kind of
body guard to this queen of festi-
walls. In nearly all Christian countries
the recurrence of Easter is cele-
brated with various ceremonies and
popular sports and Observances. Among
the best known is the custom of
making presents Of c0lOred eggs which
are often deliberately ornamented. This
custom is certainly as old as the time of
Edward /. for in a royal roll OF his time
there is a charge of eighteen pence for 400
eggs to be used for this purpose. 1t is
kept up to this day, but the Easter eggs
that are manufactured now are not much
like those that delighted the heart of
King Edward away back in the thir-
teenth century. This year the Easter
novelties are even more varied and unique
than in former years, and the festival has
become a great season for the exchange
of presents between friends and acquaint-
ances. The shop windows in the city are
filed with beautiful cards and pictures
and a thousand little things that
are suitable for Easter presents. In
France the Easter festival is celebrated in
the most luxurious form. All presents are
made in the form of eggs, but the con-
structiOn of the eggs is something Won
derful. In the shop windows along the
bOulevards are TO be seen Easter eggs tlll-
ed with all sorts of artistic creations.
Here is an egg containing a doll recep-
ton. the hostess dressed in the height of
fashion and all her visitors in genuine
Worth costumes. There is an egg filled
with a costly array of the finest wines and
liqueurs and so on the eggs are con-
structed and filled with every imaginable
cOnceit. The custom of sending cards
to friends has been extended, and 1t Is
now quite the thing to send tinted
eggs. 1t will interest the ladies to know
how to make Easter eggs: Two eggs
are cOlOred in the good old way
that is, by sewing tightly up in brill
liantly-cOlOred calico and dropping
into a pot of boiling water, although
lOgWOOd is used to a great extent. The
fashionable way Is as follows: First,
select large white eggs and boil them
hard in perfectly clear water. When cold
they are hand-painted in water colors, i'll
butterflies, lilies, roses, etc, with Easter
greetings in old English letters. A way
that is more artistic is to take brOwnish-
white egg and engrave few pictures on
it with a penknife. The inside of an egg
may be removed if pin is pushed through
the shell at the top and the hole carefully
enlarged to twice the size. Unless great
great care is taken the egg will break.
The shell is then painted or etched and an
elastic passed through the egg, with large
ribbon bows at either end.

Thatcher. Primrose and West Before the
Largest House of the Season.

Thatcher. Primrose and West Before the
Largest House of the Season.
The largest house Of the season, packing
parquette. balcony and gallery from the
front row to the wall, greeted Thatcher,
Primrose and Vests Minstrels at the
Theatre last night. It was the first per-
f0rmance OF the season where standing
room only was sold and it viii
probably be the last. As soon
as the doors were opened there was a
rush for the ticket office, and the house
was fun long before the performance
began. The reputation Of the company
drew the crowd. and the crowd was not
disappointed. The performance from
beginning to end was excellent in
every feature. The singing was
fine, and among the most popular
yOcalists was Banks Winters, Georgia
bow, whose song III Await Ny Love-
was greeted with long applause. The
idea of subdividing the first part and
changing the end men in each subdivision
is a good one. and took well last night.
With such men as George II. Edwards,
Billy Rice and George Thatcher manipu-
lating the bones and Carl Rankin, Pete
Mack and George II. Primrose, with the
tambOs. on the other end, it may easily be
seen that there could be no lack OF 1un
and there was not, for it flowed fast and
furious. Frank McNish in his monde
script act entitled silence and Fun" a
mixture of pant0mime and cohtOrtiOn,
made decidedly a hit of the even
inc. and the base ball match, one
of the new features of Tthe pro-
gramme, was perhaps the most thoroughly
enjoyed of any. The Jockey Club" was
loudly aprlauded, and hardly a single
part of the programme failed to command
the remark that it was new.

THE COOKING MAIN.

Nine Battles Fought up to Last Night.
The cooking main, which began on
Wednesday at a well-knOwn sporting re-
sort in the southern part Of the city, be-
tween the blooded chickens of Brunswick
and Augusta, attracted considerable in
terest in sporting circles yesterday, and
was witnessed by quite a crowd of adj
mirers of the spur and gaff.
The first battle on Wednesday was won
by the Georgia bird, and up TO D O'Clock
last evening, when the second days sport
closed, nine battles had been fought and
a large amount of money had changed
hands. While the match is represented
to be between Brunswick and
Augusta, several chickens seem to figure
well among the victorious birds. The an
nOuncement that a main was being fought
Yesterday stirred up the authorities, and it
was rumOred that an attempt would be
made to secure an indictment of the
parties conducting the fight before the
grand jury which met in the
afternoon. Nothing, however, was
done in that direction and there was
no interruption of the sport. The remain
ing matches will be fought to-day, when
the main will be decided. The fighting is
conducted by practiced handlers of the
feathered warriors, and considerable
money is staked on the result. The bet
ting last night was largely on Brunswick
birds

LIFTING POCKETBooK.
How Young Thief Worked His Gam

How Young Thief Worked His Game
on Lady's Hand Satchel.
Mrs. Z. Hubbs, residing at No. 204 South
Broad street, was relieved of her pocket
book, containing about S15, by a light
fingered thief, while standing in front OF
Heidts drug store, yesterday morning.
Mrs. Hubbs is a stranger in the city.
While on a shopping excursion she called
at Heidts and made several purchases,
which. together with her pocket
book, she placed in a hand satchel.
After leaving the store she stopped
a moment in front of the show windows.
which were surrounded by crowd OF
negro lads, and then started for home.
After having gone a short distance she
had occasion to take some article from her
satchel and for the first time noticed that
il was open. Upon searching for her
pOcketbO0k it was found missing. She
immediately went back to the store,
thinking she might have left it there, but
not finding it concluded that it was
picked from her satchel by some of the
negro boys who crowded past
her while standing on the walk,
but who were nowhere to be found
upon her return. She stated that
the pOcketb0Ok contained Il draft
on a Philadelphia bank for s. 30 drawn by
bdSel MdnleN. one OF more % billS. Il .
bill. a 81 bill and two or three cards. A
gold watch and several articles in the
satcheI with the pOcketbOOk escaped the
thiefs grasp. The MORNING NEWS has
frequently reported thefts of this charac-
ter, and ladies have been repeatedly
warned of carelessness in carrying their
pOeketboOks and watches in hand satchels
while in crowds, where they are easily
robbed by crafty young thieves, who work
their game so successfully that they we'll
nigh defy detection.
