 The following divorce cases were granted:

 Emma I. Adams from William F. Adams, ot New Haven; cause, intolerable cruelty.
 Maggie M. Gardner, of New Haven, from James H. Gardiner of Providence, R. l.; cause, desertion; petitioners name changed to Maggie M. Slower. William z. Hawkins, of West Haven, from Isabel H. Hawkins of Brooklyn, N. Y. cause, desertion. The contested divorce suit of Minnie Ganung, of this city, Travers Ganung, of Winsted, was next taken up. The divorce is asked for the ground of intolerable cruelty and the petitioner also asks for the custody of two minor children, and this is where the contest is year ago the parties to the suit figured in the courts in a habeas corpus pro- ceeding to see who should have the custody of the children two bright boys aged seven and five years respectively. Judge Beardsley at that time award ed the custody Of the youngest child to the mother and of the older to the father. The parents made an agreement whereby they could see the child that not in his or her custody whenever they desired.

one form or another. Once it was supposed
to be closed, but the plaintiff got hold Of some
new letters that he had not known about at

were made were enough to disgust a New

THE CRESCENT CLUB HOUSE.

They nave recently purchased a fine resi-
dence in one of the desirable locations in the
city. Through some alterations and addi-
tions the building has been transformed into
one of the most comfortable of club houses.
Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, from
which our sketches were made, thus describes
it: 1t is a double house with broad hall and
brownstone front. On one side of the hall
there is a saloon parlor, the full depth of the
house; on the other side there are two con-
nected rooms, which now become the srecep-
ton rooms" On the second floor the whole
house has been thrown into one room, exclu-
sive, of course, of the stairway. This is the
club room. In the space occupied formerly
by the back yard, a large room has been
built for the general meetings of the club.
This house has been decorated and fur
nished in a very artistic style. The large
vestibule through which the visitor enters the
hall has been refitted and mounte in brass.
On the left side, as you enter, are the recep-
ton rooms. These rooms are furnished with
dark, carved oak, cushioned with dark green,
embossed leather. The carpet is a dark one,
In harmony with the curtains and furniture.
The effect of this suite of rooms is very strik-
ing.

THE PARLoR.

H" n VI. T~Tk
The parlor on the opposite side of the hall,
is remarkably brilliant. 1t seems crusted
with gold. On each side of the room is an
Ionic column, luted salient. and backed by q
corresponding plaster. These columns and
their capitals have been gilded. TIL entab-
lature which supports the floor above is fin
ished like the cornice. The p~ilasters are fin
ished like the wall. The walls are Lincustra
Walton hangings gilded in two shades of gold,
and fairly blaze with light. The ceiling is Of
raised felt paper, painted in pale, delicate
buff, with the figures picked out in somewhat
stronger tints. The carpet repeats the gen.
eral impression of the ceiling. Such wood
work as shows is painted in ivory white and
enriched with gliding. The mirrors over the
mantels have heavy carved gold frames. The
chimney is backed with tiles. The furniture
is in part covered with a rich brown that
harmonizes with the curtains and in part
with a dark turquoise blue that gives a charm
ing contrast of color.
On the second floor the three rooms nave
been thrown into one for the club room; the
pillars that take the place of the walls that
were removed, and which now support the
floors above, have been paneled, and some of
the interspaces filed with carving, gilded,
that produces a happy effect. The room has
an air of substantial comfort. At one side of
the room there is a dais upon which a hand
some mahogany table stands, behind which is
the seat of the presiding officer. Facing this
is a large mahogany table where the secre-
taries may sit. In one corner Of the room
stands a grand piano.
The floor above this contains a billiard
room, a committee room, several sitting
rooms and one large room as a reading room
and for general social purposes. These rooms
are handsomely and appropriately decorated,
and furnished for solid comfort as well as for
beauty. The billiard room is especially
pretty, the ceiling being decorated with balls
and cues in high relief very happily COM
posed. There is alsoa secretary's room, fitted
up like a luxurious office, with appropriate
furniture. The restaurant is very neat and
attractive.

THE PRESIDENT OF HAITI.

Under Whose Government Cannibalism
Is Said to be Practiced.
The island of Hayti, of the Bahama group,
is POLITICALLY termed the Queen of the Antilles.
1t is second to Cuba in size, and is situated
but i ZOO miles from the United States. II
is a republic with a population of 1900, 600
people. These people are yet to a great
extent Voudoo or snake worshipers. Their
religion formerly demanded the sacrificing of
young children to the god Voudoo and the
eating of their child flesh. Through the
teachings of Christian missionaries among
these people and the appeals of the same
missionaries to European governments, press
ure was brought to bear on the authorities in
Hayti sufficient to stamp out for a time the
practice of cannibalism. A recent exposure
ina New York newspaper by two gentlemen
leads to the belief that savage practices are
yet connected with the Voudoo religion.
These gentlemen claim to nave disguised
themselves and were witnesses of the
murder OF two children as offerings to the
god Voudoo, and were afterward eaten by
the worshipers. Such a sensation has been
created by this statement that it is likely the
civilized governments will again take action
In the matter.

congregation withdrew from the Baptist asso-

baptize by sprinkling, which right he insisted
on. In 1879 he preached a sermon against

efterward elected to congress on the strength
OF 1t. He was o forcible writer, an earnest

The assembly room is the largest, and, in
some respects, the most striking room in the
building. 1t may be entered from the house
or from doors on Paca street. 1t looks more
like a pretty little church than anything else
it can be compared to. The beams of the
roof are supported by wooden arches, and the
natural wood of the rafters and the lining of
the roof show. The windows are of stained
glass. AT one end there is a platform slightly
raised, corresponding with the pulpit of a
church. 1t is lighted by magnificent chande-
liers. The room is not square, but occupies
the whole of what was an ~irregularly shaped
back yard, and the offsets will be separated
byscreens when the full size of the room is
not needed. They correspond with the chapels
of a cathedral. In addition to its use as a
place for the club to hold its meetings it may
be used as a banqueting hall. for which pur-
pose it would be superb.
It will be interesting hereafter to note the
effects of SO much elegance and beauty upon
the club itself, and to see how far the "dim
religious light sitting through the stained
glass windows, mayimpart a genial mildness
to the political discussions
